OpTic is where Killa belongs, what a guy.

[@SType8890]

He used to be in optic

[@iFerg]

Man I'm so happy you got Killa on! One of the most forgotten legends of my favourite competitive cod! Keep on grinding Hecz, been a sub since before you shouted out FaZe all those years ago!

[@Xzursia]

Ahah I remember when faze was first a thing too, tome flieeeees

FERG IM A FAN I JUST RANDOMLY FOUND THIS COMMENT HAVE A NICE DAY

[@nichwlla1646]

Killa is the biggest personality in CoD. Force him on optic

Isn’t/wasnt the biggest since bo2

[@dannycrook598]

Get sloss on OpTic as content creator please

[@Jaminho1998]

bro this guy should be a optic content creator

[@Theiwillsee]

I'm sure optic would be happy have him make content again and I'm sure they've asked him. Probably killas end that didn't wanna do it

[@georgeakapierz]

Hes extremely negative on social media, I’m sure that wouldnt be a great look for Optic.

[@crazyassgamer1]

Yes

[@React2Quick]

As much as I like Killa, he complains non stop on Twitter.

[@Adyn_]

George Norman when he was in OpTic , he did tone down his tweets and behave better.

[@Nahnito1]

unbelievable how some content creators are on optic but not sloss. its beyond me.

[@jerm4892]

Homie wants to compete. Can’t play on a pro level team and be signed to another org, and you already know hecz ain’t about to put him in over the current 5

he's Nick Colletti with a thicc beard and a world championship

[@romanramirezguzman4834]

Erick Khan join optic 😂 get them all lit 😂

[@QuickxShotzx]

Optic used to smoke too hehe

[@noremacuchiha]

To be honest i did not expect killa to be so polite and well spoken. He may not be the smartest guy but you can tell he is super genuine and loves cod.

[@livingtimebomb10]

R.i.p Phizzurp. My favorite Snd player

[@rflatt16]

Even Killa calls BigT the GOAT not much more needs to be said

[@papatacticz]

Definitely not the goat but definitely an OG

[@Dennissalgado]

give killa a contract to be on optic for life

[@IAmRedherrings]

Killas the man. He's always spoke his mind right or wrong, always stayed true to himself and has always had true passion. A *real* OG.

[@soridr4535]

They need to pick up killa as a content creator. One of the biggest personalities in the scene! This would be probably an even bigger pick up the courage and that is saying a lot!

[@eahco8476]

Soridr it really wouldn’t be bro, Courage be getting hella numbers I doubt Killa would even get Crim numbers let alone Scump and Courage numbers, love the Sloss Boss but he’s for the OGs and niche cod community the kids a casuals couldn’t give a fuck

[@silverdeathgamer2907]

@@crisc401 I find him annoying as a streamer also and I don't really like watching BR games so he has no appeal to me.

[@pickledbaby5054]

Are we all missing the fact that courage left optic and isnt under contract by optic anymore?

[@HP-rz7ew]

Sloss strikes me as someone who just needs a break man, seems stressed, not had the best few years in Cod or life from what I’ve seen on twitter anyway, hopefully he can pursue the content creation more, would love to see him on the Optic content creation team in some way or another.

[@keodantes3907]

Yeah. He sounds very much like a person in recovery. I hope he gets something going.

[@vsChris]

One of my favorite episodes thus far, Killa , Mirx and that Impact squad is what drew me into Competitve CoD

[@Mianless]

Been watching these podcasts since I've been out of the scene for years and this one hit hard. I forgot that Phizz passed, the smoke mid God of Ghosts. Man.... Life is cruel. I remember Phizz followed me back in the day, and I was having a rough day, I'd just been fired from my job and I tweeted about it, and he took the time out of his day to tweet me, out of all his followers and the people that he followed just to ask what was up. God.... I wish we could wind back time so much.

[@trippylights2736]

I know bro it's so sad. Me and my friends mention him still to this day.

Still can’t believe killa didn’t get on optic for content everyone loves him

[@icantread4707]

he didnt want too

[@sadiebunny]

If you weren’t into comp cod back during Ghost you missed out. The Optic Nation streams were the best. I would watch them over the main Optic team any day.

[@silverdeathgamer2907]

X-games was sick also, fun game despite TTK being so quick.

[@ovaloctopus8]

They were arguably a better team than OG at the end of the game as well

[@sadiebunny]

Silverdeathgamer290 I had never been prouder to be an Optic fan than at XGames. New OG fans have been so spoiled by the god squads the formed in AW and after

[@silverdeathgamer2907]

[@TEAMRONALDO1]

I like how Killa is wearing the green snap back for Optic

[@gabbylane8292]

It's a fullback hat, a real hat.

@7:05 Hecz is literally interviewing him for a Blackout streamer content creator position

[@mclovingmcmuffin3301]

They have tee pee for that

[@zayzaysmallz5692]

Adam Collier sloss is a better personality for optic imo, teepee is more of the coach.

[@csmatrix007]

30 seconds in...and I'm hitting that "Like" button man. Always a treat to listen to Sloss. Funny or serious, he's an incredibly fun character in the CoD community and eSports in general. Love it Hecz

[@jamesjames8266]

"Dont call me Damon" "Im getting off" 😂😂😂😂

[@FoxyGrandpa1]

I think it's nice how Hecz realizes COD XP 2011 wasn't as competitive as COD XP 2012.

[@justinstewart950]

Killa going through it right now hopefully he figures something out

[@DelawareOutdoor]

Was so nice to see Killa on here, dude looks like he's in a much better place. Glad my man was able to find that inner peace after losing a best friend, you can tell how much that shit still hurts when he got into talking about Phil. You gotta get this dude on the creator squad.

No matter who you are and where you got into cod from, you have to respect Killa even more after this video. The man has been through more than anyone in the community by far and has always had the love and drive to do it. Really came out and showed his true self on this podcast and I can honestly say it is now my favorite one. Much respect and love for Killa.

[@DarthJah]

Still don’t know how hector doesn’t have 1mil+ subs already

[@IAmRedherrings]

KZbin hasnt supported the COD community since Ghosts. I feel like the period where nadeshot stepped back from COD in AW was partly to do with it too. He's doing huge things now with 100t but that period really was two steps back. People try and attribute Cods decline to jetpack games but I think it was alot to do with the driving force of commercial cod (nade) taking a step back into the vlog boom of 2013/14

[@moh203217]

I’ve never commented on a KZbin video before but I’ve been watching cod for 7 or 8 years now. Killa has deserved a chance for a looong time now. Give him a chance and I guarantee people will love him.

[@CineMaddox]

Mad respect for Killa, loved watching the dude over the years! Hit me hard when he was talking about Phil. He and Nade were the two pros that I spent most of my free time watching back in ghosts. Killa was always playing with Phiz, just shooting the sh*t together, blaming his sensitivity in 8's and laughing like a maniac. Best of luck with everything brother!

[@langthegang8677]

Killa has grown up so much man, crazy to see how much he's matured. Awesome to see really.

[@moto6153]

Killa has an amazing mind, people say he’s shot and all this shit, but his understanding of CoD is amazing. He knows the ins and outs of the game entirely. Good to see Sloss doing well, and I really hope he gets the opportunity to compete again. Best of luck Killa!

[@skyzurdcod952]

Dude Killa is just such a good person man, One of the greatest influences in CoD history

[@Savvys]

1:22:00 He’s talking about Militia! Beautiful map, nice crosses through mid-map for snipes in SnD, and an overall cool dynamic experience in the map itself and it’s not in any of the competitive rotations.

[@ninevick35aimcom]

Really? Too many lanes/lines of sight? Spawn kinda weird too?

[@WaLeeZyyy]

Yeah cuz the map sucks

[@samb5358]

Too big for search. Too many sightlines for respawn. Hate that map

[@Dgusting]

Yeah easily the best original map from this year. The people saying it's too big are idiots. If everyone knows what they are doing, it doesn't play like it's too big. It's a beautiful map. We need Standoff remake in this comp rotation.

[@dahgameps432]

Totally agree, this map should be on competitive SnD

[@GloveSideSnipe]

I remember watching the BO2 glory days and hating Impact as much as every other person. I couldn't stand their players, but they embraced it and drove the scene for a while. I always kinda thought that Killa was a bit of a douche, but after this, I must say my opinion has changed drastically. It's incredible how views can change when you actually get to see things from other's perspectives. Hearing Adam say that he just wants to become a better father is incredible. I'm glad that you're in a better state of mind and this point, and that you're in a good place. Keep grinding and doing you man. And Hecz, I have loved these podcasts. Keep 'em coming, man! Awesome work!
