OpTic Gaming established its Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) team by acquiring the North American roster of Conquest before participating in the ELEAGUERoad to Vegas. This lineup included Damian "daps" Steele, William "RUSH" Wierzba, Keith "NAF" Markovic, Shazeeb "ShahZaM" Khan, and Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz. The team quickly demonstrated its prowess, earning an opportunity to compete in the international tournament, ELEAGUE Season 1. However, initial setbacks occurred when the team lost to Splyce in the MLG Columbus Minor and Winterfox in the MLG Columbus Last Chance Minor. Subsequently, a roster change was made, with Oscar "mixwell" Cañellas from gBots eSports Club replacing ShahZaM.

Under the OpTic Gaming banner, the team had a successful first ESL Pro League season, reaching the Season 3 Finals but narrowly missing the Playoffs after a close loss to Luminosity Gaming. Despite only securing 15th-16th place in ELEAGUESeason 1, the team showed resilience. They achieved significant success by winning the American Minor, securing a spot in the Cologne Major's offline qualifier.

The team, featuring a mix of American players and the Spanish player mixwell, qualified for the major by defeating teams like FLuffy Gangsters, FlipSid3 Tactics, and HellRaisers. However, their performance in the major was underwhelming, finishing last after a heavy defeat against NiP. Following a series of poor results and internal issues, stanislaw was initially released but soon brought back, replacing daps. Tarik "tarik" Celik joined the team from Counter Logic Gaming, leading to their participation in the Season 4 Finals, where they finished 5th-6th.

OpTic Gaming's subsequent performance improved markedly. At Northern Arena Montreal, they finished second in their group and advanced to the playoffs, defeating the Danish team Heroic and then triumphing over G2 in the finals. However, a setback followed at Dreamhack Winter, where they finished last. ELEAGUE Season 2 offered a chance for redemption, and the team excelled, beating teams like mousesports and FaZe Clan, before ultimately defeating Astralis in a challenging final. This victory was a significant achievement, with OpTic Gaming taking home $400,000.

The team's success continued at ECS Season 2 Finals, although they were eventually defeated by Astralis. Following a group stage exit at the ELEAGUE 2017 Major and stanislaw's departure to Team Liquid, the team underwent several roster changes, including Spencer "Hiko" Martin, Ryan "fREAKAZOiD" Abadir, Jason "jasonR" Ruchelski, and James "hazed" Cobb. Despite these changes and efforts from coaches Luis "peacemaker" Tadeu and hazed, the team's performance plateaued, with their only notable victory being the CyberPowerPC Extreme Gaming Series in Spring 2017. The departure of key players RUSH and tarik to Cloud9., followed by the release of hazed, marked the end of this North American lineup, signaling the need for a new team composition.
