Along with this acquisition, Rufail also shared plans to bring Envy into Apex Legends and announced the addition of the Dallas Fuel and Dallas Empire brands, which were previously part of the Overwatch and Call of Duty leagues.

Rufail broke the news on January 18th via a post on his personal X (formerly Twitter) account, accompanied by a video celebrating the legacy of Envy’s past rosters. He later clarified that, following the transaction, he would no longer be affiliated with OpTic and would no longer hold any shares in the organization. Envy’s social media accounts are also expected to be transferred to his team later this week.
