THE NEWEST MEMBER OF OpTic HALO | DEADZONE | The Eavesdrop Podcast Ep. 165 

Don't even watch Halo but a long time Optic fan. Hecz has the wisdom and vision to set these players up for life. Very cool to see a new member so receptive and excited to entertain. Take advantage of the Optic network and do your thing Deadzone! This is how you keep fans around for years!!

Deadzone is a very humble and talented Halo player.. Great pickup for OpTic 👍🏻

Don't usually consume video game content of this form but I love halo and I love what HECZ is trying to do for Halo. Deadzone seems like a solid dude - great show!

Deadzone lookin slimmer, keep workin mane 💪🏻

WELCOME TO OPTIC!! THE BEST FAMILY IN ESPORTS !!

Love me a good RuneScape analogy

Deadzone explaining his dad's career in osrs terms is like a fever dream. My two worlds colliding lmao

Damn this was a steal! Great player and a super chill dude! Hope everything goes well for him and the team

Zane has a ton of experience and a cool head, great pick up for OG

Very excited to see how this season turns out for Zane and rest of the green wall!

Sat with deadzones dad at HCS Arlington. He’s a cool guy and is very proud of his son, incredibly supportive

Great podcast man. H3cz is the man for providing these guys the opportunity to introduce themselves to the Greenwall and let their personalities shine.

Love the rebrand and excited to see all the team chemistry. Lets go OpTic !

Glad the eavesdrop wasn’t discontinued W cast per usual 🔥

Edit: This made me a big fan of you man. You're a super solid dude. Please stay on this growth man. I wanna see you play for 10 years. Zane I loved hearing that shit on you working out. It changed my life when I started getting physical man. It truly is the cheat code to good mental health. You're a dope asz player my dude, hope all goes well

I fw Z, Im glad to have him and I will support bro! The GreenWall welcom you big dawg!!! - LOVE

Big dawg HECZ dropping gems throughout this, so excited for our new Halo squad!

So humble and very underrated

Dude, it's obviously opinion....but Halo is SOOOO much more fun to watch than any other eSport. I've tried watching a few others but nothing compares to Halo. The HCS is just so fun. Infinite's HCS is WAY better than any of the previous ones since H3 MLG days too. Love me some competitive Halo. Also...curious, why is the internet so much better in Texas? Hope you guys get it Arlington!

he played great worlds last year. excited to see him on this squad! big respect for the health grind too man keep it up

much love hecz and new pro

Welcome brother!!!

Never really heard deadzone speak. He seems like a really nice well put together dude! Excited for the future

So hyped! 🔥

He’s such a cool and genuine person.. nice to see this podcast.

Zane is INSANELY underated. In my mind, he's a top 3 player in objective play, survivability, and creativity. Outside of those he's probabilty a top 10 player in all the other catagories. He possesses the ability to turn a positive play out of a negative situation, and this gives him a HUGE upside for Optic compared to APG. APG was very strong in his role, but I would argue Zane can still fill that OBJ/anchor positiin well, while simultaneously being able to make a scrappy play when needed as the Stellurs and Rennegades of SSG and Faze are capable of doing. Outside of this the man is charismatic, funny, has great mentals, and will slot very well into Optic's team dynamic. God I love the current roster.

Got nothing but respect for this guy just straight up honest trying to better himself. Hyped to watch optic with him on board.

Great pickup for optic

I remember GameClucks in Lynnwood, WA. Been there a handful of times

Hecz should a rating list for content creation for a bunch of orgs he has interacted with. THAT would be a gut shot to some org and would be some HILARIOUS content for the cause of content creation.

So happy for Zane to get this opportunity. Can’t wait to see everyone next week in Arlington

Hecs, Tennessee is your spot brother, you'd love it.

keep this man safe such a dope dude

I’m a fan! Love to see deadzone get that season MVP and an optic worlds win! Let’s go

Very well spoken and mature. Seems to have a great head on his shoulders. Rooting for this kid

Deadshot should do a scaring my optic teammates series after freaking the CEO out like that.. HAHHAHAHA.

SHOUTOUT OSRS!!!!!!! Formal has been my favorite through and through, but I'm totally excited to see Deadzone in full action. #OpTic4L

I like this guy! Very well spoken

sick fit, thats a fire checkered sweater

As a recovering addict and ex pro shout out to Zane for shouting out his brother

Welcome Zane!!!

Love the runescape reference 😉

Hell yeah Deadzone. Super pumped to see Optic destroy!!!! Everyone knows this is gonna be a legendary team. Huge respects to optic and Deadzone!!!

WA represent

Deadzzzone been absolutely slamming. Great pick up.

Yoooo shoutout to lynnwood!!!

Can't wait for the first Lan! I believe this team will start to click!! 💚🙌

I haven’t played super close attention in the last few months, but Zane is looking way healthier now than a couple years ago. His work at the gym is absolutely paying off. Looks great.

Nice! Do we have more of this, with the rest of the Halo squad? ❤😊

Lol even Zane says he's an upgrade from APG

Yooooo, I relate to Penguin so much.

shoutout to the greatest duo in halo history, raynguin

AMAZING PICK UP

Lets go 🎉

Deadzone is a cool dude. Lookks like he has a good head on his shoulders. Hope he beings some more wins to the squad

I thought the tag penguin was like how comfortable he is in Icey conditions. He had the best skewer shot when catalyst was in rotation

Welcome to GreenWall!!!

yeah this is what Halo needs. OpTic forever backpacking the community

Would love to watch an Ep w hecz featuring ogre 2

WELCOME ABOARD DEADZONE!

Welcome neighbor to OpTic hope u love it ❤🎉

I'm already subbed h3cz, but let's get the legend 40k more subs

Deadzone, you’ve been signed by SSG and Optic - two World Champion rosters. You’re not quite the odd man out these days 😂 I’m so happy for you

that gears of war team was content GOLD I hope they're doing well

OpTiC DeaDZzoNe is most underrated slayer he is truly a top player

Zane definitely helped the team chemistry. He's one of those guys you'd hate to face but love to team up with.

Still wish he never changed his name. Deadzone just doesn’t feel the same. Still one of my favorite players to watch play tho.

Deadzzzone looks great

Oh dang, he shouted out Gameclucks. I'm excited to see how this new optic lineup does this year.

Wow deadzone makes me wanna make a return

Need a flycast eavesdrop again

Also Hecz is so goddamn smart

Used to always stay in this dudes stream at the end of H5. He’s got a great personality for and was always a good time. Make him stream more Hecz 😂

Damn shoutout to gameclucks went there once to watch Instinct vs Triggers down Lan it was when neighbor and walshy just joined hysteria was there pretty legit

it is kinda funny an poigniant that working out is the way to succeed as a pro gamer

If you like Colorado but don't want to pay Colorado prices you go to Albuquerque, NM legal weed and affordable living. Does get dry here and can be super windy but I'm liking it so far and that comes from someone that has lived most of those life in Miami Florida and recently spent 9 months in Israel.

Always hated when optic faced this guy. Glad he's on our squad now😅 Dude always did the annoying stuff on the map. Mad respect to what APG brought to the squad, but im excited to see how this team perfoms

I love how pro-growth Hecz is about Halo. Dude is a spearhead for the community 💪🏼

Still waiting for OpTic Duckhunt team!

GAMECLUCKS!!! the OG spot... the good ole days

You should get Ben J Nissim next! That would be interesting

@hecz you have to listen to ready player 1 on audible. 100% our era and better book on the classics. So damn good.

OpTic UFC 1 ? 🤔 HECZ vs Deadshot 🤔 lol

Can we get a podcast with riley

Player one is based on adventure

Penguin 🐧 was such a great gamer tag, bummer he let it go.

Smart

W

The did apg dirty

too short, but great pod

first 2 mins i knew he’d be cool. open. kinda how ghosty was

NORTE

everyone shows up to media day... execpt marshawn lynch

Penguin*

Been rooting against this guy for years, but now I'm ready to see him thrive for the Green Wall.

I wish the cloud 9 original halo team stayed together

@19:30 The pro's in Video games are decades behind real athlete's The reason revenue is big for sports is because they interact with the audience. You have people who live and breathe the scene while not playing. Players deportment and behavior is what the community supports. Games come and go unless.

He already won 2 HCS with C9 he easily could do that with Optic too he’s a great Player nothing more to say

Always knew of penguin and thought he was a good player

sorry, what the hell is up with the exposure
