Mountain Dew has been a partner of OpTic Gaming since 2018, with the two parties joining forces to create a new drink. Last year, Envy Gaming merged with OpTic Gaming which sees both entities operate under a joint brand.
The upcoming event will also in partnership with Razer, who will provide ‘gaming pods’ for visitors to compete in and controller manufacturer Scuf who will create a ‘legacy hall’ in the entrance to the Arlington venue.

Aim Lab will debut an OpTic Texas Training Course, both in-person and online, in which visitors will be able to practice their FPS aiming skills.
Esports Insider says: The first big in-person event for Call of Duty will definitely be interesting since the League has seen a tumultuous period during the last couple of months. It’s good to see Mountain Dew returning as a partner after OpTic and Envy merged last year.
