Dude, some people realize that the masses just go off vibes and most people just have shitty opinions. I have emotional opinions but at least admit they are emotional, personal opinions and you can still have a reason, even if devoid of logic. For example, I think ben affleck is the worst actor. Straight up. I feel i can “see” the acting and i wish he would direct a movie without putting himself in it. All the performances ive seen him put up feel so fake to me, and its a huge relief he aint batman. (Thats me tho, i like him as a director) Point is, ur a great analyst for realizing people lack true perspective. (Not that you fucking need me to tell you this)

As someone who was heavily involved in optic around those times, my opinion is not only the teams skill level but all of call of duty as a whole progressed so fast and to an extent kind of left nade shot behind. It was clear watching towards the end who was restricting Optic from playing at their full potential and it wasn’t Scump 😂😂

Nah man nadeshot is a beast. He kept up with the best but the business man in him took over. Nothing wrong with that.

That was the most honest and humble way I’ve ever heard him answer a question and I love it. Thank you.

Watching nadeshot play on that team was one of my favorite things to do that year, the whole team and hype made call of duty more fun, made me and my friends more motivated to grind and play together , and honestly helped me spend time with my friends who I couldn’t see in person after moving out of state the year prior. I remember his major wins, they aren’t forgotten

Top tier work from this guy, wouldn't have played as tact without him being around at the time.

Nadeshot and formal are literally my childhood. Loved watching both of them play.

He was the most vocal and didn’t care to the egos that were around him. We respect the shit out you papa nadeshot I know you never folded and that alone is enough for me.

My days of COD are over and im playing Rainbow Six now. But Nadeshot and the Optic era at that time still hold a special place in my heart. For me i will never watch COD gameplay again because it just wouldnt be the same. Time really flies by huh. Live in the moment, love the moment

I’ve been watching Nade since I was 11. I’m 23 now. This man practically raised me. He’s a pillar to the gaming community and a true OG in the industry. He’s if not the best, one of the best IGL/OBJ players cod ever has seen. And is a monster on SnD. HE EVEN PULLED THE HBR OUT BEFORE ANYONE KNEW IT WAS META (lmao, its kinda a fact tho) It became META. Because of him. Esports became respectable in fashion. Because of his company. (Regardless of your opinion, name an esport’s org that has a gucci collab) He’s pushed newer streamers and creators career’s above his own. This man is someone I admire and really want to succeed. Because when I’ve had a shitty day for the past 12 years, he’s cheered me up. He doesn’t upload as much on his main channel anymore, But those words “And youtube, we’ll see ya fudging later.” Sticks with me to this day. Nade if you somehow are reading this, Ik you got a whole ass company to keep up with. A daughter, and a wife now. But it’d mean so much to the OG’s for you to vlog consistently again. Idc if you do. But if you did, I’d watch every video. Fuck nick mercs. And Godspeed

That's the kind of competitive drive they have at the highest levels of anything. Whether we're talking about COD, football, or neurosurgery residents at Harvard Med, a lot of people see that shit differently than we do. Not saying it's healthy for their mental health, but it's true. Look at Tom Brady, the GOAT quarterback. And he came back despite having a fortune, GOAT qb legacy, multiple rings, and a wife and kids. For those people, just being on top doesn't satisfy them. Anyway, Nade said he doesn't think about it unless people bring it up in a negative light.

The group he’s talking about was my favourite team comp, still remember watching the games live

I’m grateful asf to have witnessed him and sump play for bo2 until he finally retired 💯

He def got alot of shit but if he played well they won and if he played bad they lost. He was 100% the bottleneck of the team.

Man I used to love watching Optic during Bo2 days, some of the best COD matches of all time. Scump and Nadeshot were absolute menaces. Crimsix, Karma, Teepee, Parasite included.

man i miss the old optic days, these guys were savages and made super enjoyable content. those were some pretty good times

You can’t talk optic without nade coming up. A corner stone in a very big very green wall. ❤

I used to watch nade so much. 0-100 with m boze were the golden days. Dam miss em

I dropped comp COD a long time ago, like Nadeshot, but still look back to those days and reminisce. Nadeshot was *THE* first pro CoD player I ever related to. We had our own personal hardships that we’ve went through and even share the same birthday. Nadeshot absolutely held his own on a stacked team. He got a lot of “blame” from his haters/trolls all the time, and that could weigh heavy on most ppl, it’s normal. But look at him now, he’s exactly where he needs to be and living his best life. Him and Boze were so funny lol

Believe it or not Nade is the reason I started watching comp cod. He’s always been an inspiration, since day one.

I just remember clips of nadeshot falling off the map all the time.

Awesome Nadeshot, Merry Christmas to the Thieves House, Nadeshot & Family ✌🏽

Gosh, Shia Laboof has such a way with words

Bro this shit was like 10 years ago. Damm time flies.

Nadeshot was my favourite esports player. I loved all the optic videos you done especially the ones at the house. You won Xgames gold medal too. You were my fav esports player and your still my favourite KZreadr. Watched you from the house all the way to La my whole ass child hood bro And KZread well see you fudging later

Nadeshot was not the strongest player on the team for sure, but he was definitely the biggest name and the most famous cod player probably of all time. Also, I played against nadeshot in cod ghosts version of like league play, and he fuckin fried all of us. So he might not be the top amongst the pros, but hes a fuckin amazing player.

Bro just brought back memories of skump hitting them nasty clutches in snd

I’m just going to clear this up for you little ones who didn’t watch nade in his time. He was a great SnD player top 15 of all time, however in SnD if you was to rank decision making on the fly he was up there as top 3. His on the fly choices for repeaks or repositions were clean and effective he rarely repositioned and got caught out in his career. In ghosts domination he was a brilliant nifty little energy bolt on that game with the MTAR smg and vector blue dot. He really did a great showing for X games on optic.

Nadeshot was an essential piece to that teams culture and performance.

Nadeshot and Scump brought pro COD to the level it is today. It was erupting during their prime.

I remember when this happens I felt bad for nade because it felt like the whole team didn’t want him anymore because of the HBR he used which was not a meta weapon at the time.

Bro the Nade, formal, Scump, crim team was like having Kobe, Jordan, LeBron, and Byrd in their primes on the same team. You leaving and Karma coming in was like having KD join in. So much talent that even the slightest mistake was noticeable. Loved that year of CoD.

the hbr he pulled out during champs is what made us forget

Wild that base shot was “the problem” he was the goat on optic

I still remember watching that clutch play by him in standoff SnD

Nade always gotta slip in that he didn’t get kicked off the team 😂😂😂💀💀

As a team kaliber fan back in the day nadeshot and scump alone were some of the most impressive players or the early 2010’s

Man that AW run when that had that god squad was bizzare

Pro players are drama queens from gated communities 😂

Single handedly put console competitive FPS on the map for like 70% of the population (the other 30% already knew bc of halo). He was so relatable. His road to masters series where he talks to people in BO2 league play is STILL the best COD series on youtube.

I’ll never forget the good ole days

Nade is 100% correct on all fronts. As a 6050 OG fan, we know you were the original Scump before Scump became Scump. You were the face of OpTic and brought us those championships (3-peat is craaaaazy). Just as you love the GREENWALL, the GREENWALL will always love you. This is why a lot of us have so much love for 100T. Legit, you guys are my second team because of you.
