Who is Mixwell? A Quick Bio
So, who is Oscar “mixwell” Canellas?
First, he’s a former Counter-Strike competitor and one of the best CS players ever. Boasting an eight-year career, this historic AWPer amassed over $200,000 in winnings with the following achievements:
- 1st @ DreamHack Open Valencia 2018
- 1st @ ELEAGUE Season 2
- 1st @ Northern Arena 2016 – Montreal
- 1st @ Americas Minor Championship – Cologne 2016
Then, with the release of VALORANT, Oscar “mixwell” Canellas jumped on the opportunity to join G2 Esports and Team Heretics to earn the following achievements in one of the leading esports games:
- 1st @ Red Bull Home Ground
- 1st @ BLAST Twitch Invitational
- 1st @ WePlay! Invitational

After struggling to maintain results on Team Heretics, he decided to dive into streaming and quickly became the most popular Spanish VALORANT streamer.
Mixwell and Otakar Esports
Revealing the announcement during the Red Bull Home Ground, Canellas is investing in his Spanish roots to develop local talent to compete with the best VALORANT players in the world.
Moreover, this move isn’t something completely brand new in the esports industry. Using his popularity and particular identity to create an esports organization has been done by other former esports professionals such as the likes of Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag.
How would one measure success when starting a new esports organization? Well, one thing to look out for is whether multiple rosters become part of this organization and if the VALORANT team finds success.
