"GETTING DROPPED IS BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME | METHODZ | The Eavesdrop Podcast Ep. 121

[@ryanlundin3614]

Zinni is the coolest dude. Last year when my mom passed away he literally stopped everything in his stream to give his condolences and he sent me a BDA hoodie and T shirt for free. His community showed so much love to me as well. It’s something I will never forget.

[@jacobfuernstahl7445]

Rest In Peace to your mom🙏

[@matthewknott5005]

Crazy man Bc I feel like I remember this sorry for your lose tho man.

[@lightwork6936]

Sorry for your loss man, amazing that zinni and his community could something like that for you bro ❤️

[@carterrrsan5614]

Sorry about your loss brother

[@asolt2776]

Sorry for your loss man 🖤

[@TheDetrimentalGamers]

Someday when Zinni retires he needs to become a content creator for OpTic. Can you imagine the content with Zinni and Seth and all the other OpTic guys. Would be straight comedy and entertaining as hell.

[@MatthewKniesEnjoyer89]

^^^

[@dakotaxcorex]

that day has come. sad that both him and Seth are done competing but the content is about to be electric

[@defiant9064]

Called that shit

[@ronaldmaxwell6668]

Yooo

[@Jesser1121]

I really hope when Zinni retires, OpTic can pick him up as a content creator because the guy is absolutely hilarious, clearly has a good relationship with the boys and is always upbeat and has good vibes!

[@elijahjones5202]

His content is actually good and his personality I can see him doing content with optic 100%

[@splash8594]

I actually hope he goes to a different cod franchise as a content creator. He's so entertaining I think he could really boost an entire brand like Seth and nade did. OpTic need competition in the cod scene and I think zin is the perfect person to make that happen. Look how many fans Boston has already, 80-90% of that is because of him alone

[@Timlin22]

@@splash8594 I could see him returning to Toronto if he wanted to do content. I'm sure Ultra would be down to have him back and from what I've heard Zinni enjoyed Toronto and enjoyed his time with the team (apart from being dropped of course). Not saying he will but I think it's a possibility if he doesn't end up back at Optic or staying with Boston.

[@aquasonic3677]

I honestly see him fit better with optic but I would not be surprised if he tries to go to 100T

I'm risking being ridiculed for thinking this is fake, but I just want people to know this man Zinni really is an amazing person. I am so glad to see all the success he has had. I appreciate this man taking even a minute out of his day to check on some idiot like me. Love ya Z!

That’s raises my respect for Winni, and I appreciate you for sharing brother ✊🏾 have a good day homie.

Can someone please tell Hecz that people want to listen to his guests? Genuinely want to hear what Methodz has to say but hard to when Hecz is talking about himself and how much of a great businessman he is for the majority

[@NUTTSwagger]

He definitely does his Diva thing from time to time and has to have the last word instead of letting someone finish a thought. It's not trolly, it's constructive criticism.

[@dinora9535]

I’m sure the business man inside Hecz still has an issue with Zin. The people you TRULY want by your side in life will never do anything resembling a backstab. Not saying it’s a big deal, but Hecz ain’t an idiot

[@abcdefg9163]

Literally all he does he's so jarring.turns every topic into 'working hard' which then leads to how good he has done with optic and how other orgs need to do as good.

I love how much Zinni talks about being on the Eavesdrops on stream and he finally does it. WINNI and ZinCity

[@lukeskif]

This is the very first episode that choked me up a bit.. didn’t expect it but, talking about mental health, depression, etc.. always gets me.. I’m not a very open person with anyone, including family, and I know that doesn’t make me strong at all and I hope I can get past that issue where I can finally feel free to open up to someone. I’ve went through a bit of depression/anxiety, and it kills me everytime when someone says “stop being sad, just be happy”.. it fucking destroys me when someone feels it’s okay to say that shit.. but anyway, loved the episode guys, keep it up Hector, I look forward to these as always man 💚

[@scottcaron5167]

I was waiting for Methodz to come on the podcast, its great to see him get his due with the Boston Breach. It's sick to hear that he will be out near Patriot Place. I am out of the Boston area as well and would love to connect with Methodz to help get his KZbin going again. I edit gaming videos with my friends, but would love to be apart of what he is building and get some vods into youtube videos especially being in the same area as well. He probably wont see this, but I hope I can connect with Zin! Props to Hecz on keeping the podcast going.

[@robertwlovett]

Haven't really sat down and watched much of Zinni, but sounds like he's got his head on straight and knows what he wants. Will certainly go give him a follow.

[@TroyChriest]

I swear argues to invisible people. Who’s saying content doesn’t matter?

[@cam_22]

Zinni is so likeable man. Love his streams and glad he's back in league. Guy really does care about his supporters which makes it easy to reciprocate. He'll definitley become a monster when he takes up full time content.

[@lifted6089]

I've watched every episode. This one was amazing. 👏

[@Blaacker]

Top 10 podcast ep from you. So much cod history right here (you understand if you were keeping up with the comp scene from the early days) and this convo is so genuine and down to earth. it’s like hector is mentoring him during this while also receiving beneficial insight from zinni.

[@moony4566]

Hector I love you brotha but you gotta let your guests speak more dude... you interject halfway through their input and make it about yourself way too often... It's all love but I notice this more when you're not on the podcast the conversation seems to flow better. Zinni is halfway through talking about his confidence levels since losing weight and 5 seconds later you're talking about Wu Tang Clan or some shit... just let the guy speak, we're here to listen to the guests not you, we watch your vlogs to see you

[@mq2823]

Winni is IMO one the best personality’s in COD, he really cares about and looks out for his community. I don’t have say anything other than just read some of the comments. I love watching this guy compete, on the flank or even moonlight as Fat Tony on GTA. Dude is talented and I hope he continues to grow. Him and Seth are and Timmy are one of the few COD personality’s that have it all and can do it all. It it is truly a please to watch this man work and succeed. I am so glad Hector had him on, Zinni if you see this I wish you the best my brother keep on keeping it real and you will always succeed. Much love and I am Optic till I die but a breach can unless your playing Optic ✌🏼🤙🏻

Right now bugha and clix rival scump in terms of competitive esports players who do content and have the same or more of his numbers

[@brandynolandese8031]

Doing a “where are they now” series with some of these pros would be so dope. Like TeePee or Karma, or merK

[@krispyquam5713]

Nah, everybody knows where they are on stream and doing CoD content.....

[@lukewestwest]

Macklemore and Logic were gunna get big regardless, i dont think its fair to say gaming or Faze could be credited for that.. I know because I listened to logic and macklemore since before 2010 and they had huge “CULT followings” online. Thats how Macklemore made the XXL Freshman list and then got big immediately after that, he received the fan vote the year he won(I believe 2012/13?) And if anybody reads this go back to the OLD Macklemore and listen to The Language of My World from 2005 and you’ll thank me i promise. Tracks 2,6,11,13,19 and almost the whole cd/album is just different.

[@DubsPod]

20 minutes into the video. HECZ PLEASE LET THE GUEST SPEAK, THE PODCAST IS ABOUT HIM/HER

[@swtichedd]

i will say on the part explaining that seth is the only one competing and doing content, it’s kinda sad how Hal doesn’t get enough respect (TSM FTX ImperialHal from apex) man has a consistent 15-20k every stream and literally got over 100k today in the ALGS playoffs so they definitely right that seth is very few but there are a couple in the scene

[@jakeonyx4775]

different community, tbh never heard of the guy, cant expect everyone to know who he is and what hes doing. Fair play to the guy if hes been putting the work in. Besides, obviously its a gaming org but theyve rarely mentioned apex at all, dont be suprised if they dont know much about him other than mybe hes a big streamer.

[@reecens3707]

Scumps also been doing it for 10 years

[@swtichedd]

@@jakeonyx4775 honestly i think it’s more of a apex thing i think you’re right but still the man has been doing it for 3-4 years now consistently i just personally feel he deserves to be in that conversation and especially since he just won the split 1 playoffs

[@n3m3g4y8]

Revisiting this podcast, it was super cool to have Zinni on OpTic for the time he was. Whether or not the team meshed is besides the issue. I know everything is done in the best interest of the team, but Zinni brought unmatched vibes. He and Seth together was a power combo, they both are great in front of the camera. Wish Dill had a chance to be on that team because the 3 of them together would have been hilarious. Keep up the work Hector, and don’t go to hard on my boy Matty ;) went to school with him, remember the day I found out he was going to work for you!

[@seven_iwnl]

As far as NA esports players go, Scump and Nade have the largest following outside Shroud and Ninja with some caveats. Shroud was huge on the world stage when he was streaming and playing. He is the only realistic contender. Ninja became big after he retired, and was a "pro" fortnite player, but was more realistically a content creator with the nature of that game. TenZ has the trajectory, but he doesn't have the personality along with the skill to grow his brand to Scump or Nadeshot height. Honorable Mention to Mang0, everybody knows the goat and has hard carried a game longer than Scump has.
