On November 24, renowned Spanish streamer and former professional VALORANT player Mixwell announced the creation of his own esports team, Otakar Esports. While the team’s roster remains unknown, Mixwell hinted that the organization would compete in the VALORANT discipline.

At 28 years old, Mixwell began his career in 2012 in CS:GO. After successful stints with Spanish teams, he joined renowned organizations like OpTic Gaming, Cloud9, and G2 Esports. In 2019, Mixwell temporarily paused his career as a player to focus on streaming. However, by 2020, he returned to competitive play, transitioning to VALORANT.

As part of G2 Esports, Mixwell quickly established himself as one of Europe’s top players, winning six tournaments in his first year. However, his career with the team experienced both highs and challenges. In 2021, he briefly left the active roster but continued to achieve success, including a 4th place finish at VCT 2021 Stage 3 Masters and reaching the playoffs of VCT 2022 Stage 1 Masters.

In 2022, G2 Esports faced a major scandal when its owner, Ocelote, was seen partying with Andrew Tate, leading to the loss of VCT partnerships. The organization disbanded its VALORANT division, and Mixwell departed after more than two years with the team.

Subsequently, Mixwell joined Team Heretics, but the team delivered underwhelming results, including a first-round elimination at VCT 2023 LOCK//IN and an 8th-place finish at VCT EMEA 2023. In October 2023, Mixwell retired from professional play to focus on content creation.

Mixwell continues to actively support the Spanish VALORANT scene. His YouTube channel boasts 580,000 subscribers, while his Twitch account exceeds 1.1 million followers. Now, he ventures into team ownership, joining the ranks of streamers who have founded esports organizations, such as Karmine Corp, KOI, and 100 Thieves.

Whether Otakar Esports can replicate their success remains to be seen, but experts already regard Mixwell as a pivotal figure capable of elevating the Spanish scene to new heights.
