@@redsynister4836 coming home making a bag of popcorn and watching some hunting optic or theminecraftproject was my life in 2013 weird I’m 25 now and have a full time job
Broooooo nadeshot and scump are my fav cod pro players of all time, I’m 25 and have vivid memories of watching these guys live at the cod chanps, or even watching them play GB on RU-vid, nade don’t sleep on yourself bro
Maybe in terms of impact, but go look at the stats of that dynasty team in AW, BO3, and IW. Scump and FormaL were light years ahead in the slaying department. Straight deadlifted for 3 straight titles.
Didnt nade and bigt win the first cod tournament 2v2 ever? With the 1mil prize pull and a live time redbull sponsership (nade ofcourse did eventually get out of this sponsorship
@@luigisanchez1915oh just became one of the first big personalities within the CoD scene along with Scump The 2 of them back in the day were getting unheard of numbers of stream viewers while playing CoD due to their willingness to fuck around and show some humour, and were also relatable as fuck, literally brought so many eyes to an eSport and org that's managed to become what it is today.
Yes and no. The job becomes 10 times easier if you have a good AR that does half of the heavy lifting too. Nothing worse than playing hard point and having a main AR not even know how to anchor. Or like you said. You run point man obj routes and you feel like it’s you against the whole enemy team. A good AR makes the team smoothen out that much more
Anyone who actually watched nades pov knows he was nasty but when you have a team full a straight slayers like he had he had nothing else to do besides play the objective and make plays. He was such a smart player too
Yeah, exactly. Everybody brings something else to the table in any team but everybody is going to look bad compared to somebody like Scump who is literally known as the call of duty God lol
Idk he was def good back in the day but he also did becomes washed insanely quick which is why he retired. He was definitely not great the whole way through😂
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)
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.
Well said nade I’m Stills OpTic fan and a thieves fan because of you and what you have done but I always bring you up when I talk about the OpTic dynasty I selfishly wish you stayed but it worked out in the long run
Same here man. Nade always impresses me when he speaks seriously on things that mean a lot to him. You can see why people want to join the org and players want to play for them. He cares about about what he does and it shows.
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
My guy deserves all the success back in 2014 I was a fan of Faze and Optic being one of there biggest rival you would always talk about them together. The pro scene was just starting so I didn't watch it but you would always hear Nadeshot or Scump being the best players. Now the only Faze member I still watch is Jev. 😅
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 😂😂
@@mikerobertson8540 bro watch scump bo2/ghosts gameplay and then watch nade. The difference in skill is clear as day. As a fan of nade I can’t even watch old nadeshot videos dude was not keeping up. You can cherry pick stats all you want but there’s a reason why he quit playing pro what? A decade ago? He got tired of being last on the leaderboard. Same thing with BigTymer
@@Steven_Bo1 He retired in 2015. Yeah, Scump was the better player of course, but it's actually shocking watching those old games just how much better Nadeshot was at SnD. Scump was way better at respawns. You can keep shitting on him if you want, I can tell you're such a big fan of the guy, but Nade was a good SnD player at one point.
@@mikerobertson8540 I am a fan of Nade... You literally just agreed with me bro idk what your even on about. “At one point” Edit: re-read my original comment. Your trynna argue with me about something I’m sure Nadeshot himself would agree with me on
@@Steven_Bo1 I don't need to reread your comment lol. You're clowning him for "holding them back from playing at their full potential", but that year they won a shit ton with him and then choked at champs and he retired. Then they got Karma, and in BO3 they won a shit ton with him..... and then choked at champs lol. Nade pretty clearly doesn't agree that he was holding them back a metric shit ton like you clearly do, my man.
Nadeshot was such an underrated player . He means so much to so many people who truly appreciate professional CoD. Definitely a pioneer to the skill and talent we have today.
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
It does suck that even now, you could win every major basically, or dominate a game, but if you don't win finals, then it's whatever. Mw2019 was like that too
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
You’re the head of a company and have millions of dollars because we didn’t forget and the business people didn’t forget that you’re a huge name for Optic!
Man nade you were fr the first twitch stream I ever opened man, I never got to watch you play pro live only vods, but you were a beast and honestly low ranked players simply always have something to cry about man.
damn anyone watch those old optic compilations that had everyone’s videos all smashed together. back when hitch and maniac were always with each other and boze and flame sword were always messing with each other. it was good times, although i never really watched them play games, all the dudes in that one house were awesome.
Nadeshot and scump where my ideals when I played call of duty competitively. Always felt like nadeshot and scump together they were the best cod players at the time. They will always be legends in the tournament sense. All hail king of CoD
BroooooooOoOOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoO everyone forgetting he had ppl like scump and for a while y’all need to chill out at least he was able to grind enough to play at that level.
Unless u were born near 2010, everyone that played cod especially since cod2-cod4 knows about professional cod... but yea for many years it's not worth watching literally haven't watched any pro cod tournament since bo2 lol
@@ImNotFVDED I was following lol Nade was a huge part of it, but so was Scump. Scump carried the team multiple times and got them many wins. OpTic wouldn’t be OpTic without the wins. But I do agree that Nade helped build the content aspect of it. But Scump was right there also. It’s like MJ and Scottie Pippen, without Scottie Michael Jordan wouldn’t even have rings. Lol
I will always remember and enjoy those golden years of cod and how hyped it was coming home from school and getting online with your boys trying to hit tempers ❤
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 73-9 Warriors can't be mentioned without bringing up the 2016 Cavs vice versa. That's what literally makes their championship win potent. Idk what you tried cooking but it didn't work.
Respect he wanted to have his own team their was a opening he took it well played Matt one optic alot of championships and a x game gold medal I remember you Matt
i remember vividly the first pro cod clip i ever watched being nadeshot clutching a 1v6 on meltdown in bo2 which i watched in like 2013 or 2014 when i was like 10
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.
I was super into pro cod and optic at the time. The game was in a transition from tactical shooter to cracktical shooter. You had guys like scump who were young crack heads who could run smg better than anyone and that wasnt Nadeshots style. He was a positioning and rotating playmaker. 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.
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.
I love the comment section here! So many Nade fans and he deserves it! This guy was fantastic such a team guy and could look out for him too. Thank you for bringing us along Nade.
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.
@@theperezntation3765f we’re going by that logic, ur opinion means less because im richer and have more status? ur one of those kids who ride andrew tates meat fr🤡
Dude was using a gun that wasn’t even a common gun to use in the pro scene and then questioned why they got shit on. You could tell during that last tournament that he was not handling Advanced Warfare well.
@@theperezntation3765 100 Thieves doesn’t count towards his cod earnings. He doesn’t even crack the top 20 of pro cod players, wtf are you even talking about?
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
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.
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.
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.
As an og optic gaming fan, for since the beginning, nadeshot the godfather and real og’s know. Hecz a god for coppin nade and the comes the dynasty after the attraction nade brought to optic after
I mean obviously overtime there were and are better players than Nade but he didn’t waste his time while he was a pro. He definitely left a mark on cod. I consider him a Hall of Famer in the cod scene, him and scump where the reason I wanted to do anything pro gaming as a young kid
Nade was a pioneer in shit as simple as trigger dicipline he was a solid player i remember back then though nade was the one person on the team who would get eatin alive by the fans.
Nade never got the respect he deserves because people think that they were better than him skill wise(they weren’t) so to them he wasn’t deserving of his position within optic. I started following Comp back in MW3 because of Nades Turning pubs into competitive series and learning that Cod had a competitive scene. He deserves grew the competitive scene to what it is now and I love that he owns a company that has produced champions. W Nade
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.
