PopularTwitchstreamers are often signed to big esports teams as they regularly play competitive games and their skills are easily tracked by the community and team scouts alike. Some of OpTic Gaming’s recent signings include CodeMiko and JustAMinx, two popularTwitchstreamers that are known for creating a wide variety of content beyond simply gaming.
Esports teams don’t all stick to the competitive gameplay scene and somelike Team SoloMid, NRG, 100 Thieves, and others branch out into content creation by signing popular Twitch and YouTube streamers. OpTic Gaming has just confirmed that it has four major signings from Twitch and YouTube that may contribute to a robust content pipeline. This includes the well-known Vtuber CodeMiko who’s often doing reaction content or dabbling in a wide variety of things like another new signee, JustAMinx. In addition to the major aforementioned Twitch and YouTube names, the two chess whiz sisters Alexandra and Andrea Botez rounded out the new OpTic Gaming members confirmed in the announcement.

The group of four new Optic Gaming members brings with them their own impressive communities of over four million viewers combined which may mean fresh eyeballs on the growing esports brand that seems to be expanding its content creator team. Although it’s likely that the four signees will join OpTic Gaming’s content creation team, they could move to one of the esports lineups in the future if the coaches think they’d be a good fit forcompetitiveCall of Duty,Halo Infinite, orValorant. Because the four may remain on Twitch and YouTube after being signed by OpTic Gaming, their communities may end up seeing more of JustAMinx, CodeMiko, Alexandra Botez, and Andrea Botez depending on what the OpTic Gaming contract calls for.
CodeMiko, JustAMinx, and the Botez Sisters are former members of Envy Gaming which has been absorbed by OpTic and sparked the company’s rebranding to what it’s known as today. The friend group started a content creator house in Los Angeles earlier this year, but it’s currently unclear if they will remain at this Hollywood Hills location or relocate to Texas to join the rest ofOpTic Gamingin Frisco. Similar to other content houses, the Envy squad has been able to brainstorm new ideas together, help record clips, and occasionally make appearances in each other’s videos.
Viewers in the JustAMinx, Botez sister, andCodeMiko streamingcommunities all expressed enthusiasm for the announcement of their signing, with some commenting on their celebratory group photos commemorating the occasion.
