I don't understand why people really hate on nadeshot. he actually really is a all around good guy.

[@BariNgozi]

SoJevable then what are you talking about?

[@Infinitexz]

i dont think anyone does

[@whydouneedakno]

Cuz his D riders are mad annoying and cant just accept the facts that he sucks at COD

[@italianrick1985]

Krackers They hate us cause they ain't us

[@Josh_17]

Also Nade has placed top 3 at every COD champs there has been and obviously will place top 3 this w/e

[@FaZeDirty]

What a great guy :D

[@KARNAGEclan]

He has a crazy following. Makes Call of Duty look really good. Nadeshot, our COD lord and savior.

[@xxSvenxx1]

iJustine is perfect.

[@kielleshigemoto120]

Yessss

[@TaylorMartinStuff]

Matt Haag is real, and that's all you can ask of anyone who has risen to internet fame. Be sincere and humble.

[@iTankid]

He is an inspiration to anyone & everyone. Whether you play video games or bag groceries, his story his undeniably motivating and inspirational. I hope you can put aside your biases and "anti fanboy" morale to watch this video and realize how amazing Matt is. He stands as a role model to thousands, including myself. #GreenWall

[@floppyjalopy94]

That was very touching man! Your mum would be very proud for the man you've become & what you've made yourself to be today :) keep doing what your doing my brother!

[@jordanheckler2674]

[@chrisarroyo471]

He was right it really didn't last forever

[@lukeprok2446]

yeah

[@realkingsimon]

Chris Arroyo what do you mean

[@austinbaranieski1093]

TheRobotGAMER that he is no longer in optic or the optic house

[@BongToke419]

TheRobotGAMER and he doesn't even really game at all anymore

[@vulcan277]

but that was all his choice and he still makes bank

[@scalip6599]

nade was my fav pro player

[@scalip6599]

+Adnan Al Hasib no its phishing its bullshit

[@FelixNBR]

Are those Redbulls only for the commercials?

[@Renixz011]

nope, optic is sponsored by redbull, the same way that FaZe is sponsored by gama

[@Renixz011]

MrRadioMachine yeah.... you got my point xD

[@willkillandsteal23]

Renixz Playz not true nade and flamesword are sponsored by redbull the same way an athlete is. The org is not sponsored by redbull

[@MrAgaeg]

[@lordiboys]

Allu ^

[@Danish10xHD]

Your mum is looking down at your right now Nade and she would be the proudest mom ever, you and the team bring home the 2015 Call of Duty Championship with the rest of the team! We all believe and love you and the rest of team!! Go big OpTic!!

[@kyw5289]

[@DragoonRyRs]

Yen Wei Khor no. clearly not ijustine.

[@Rayquazaswag863]

DragoonRyRs it's "totally" not lol

[@4RTWORKS]

I mean, the video never said anything in any way, shape or form it was iJustine, so I guess she's not.

[@USAGAMERplaysgames]

It literally says in yellow at 0:07 seconds...

[@S7ea1]

that was scumper

[@romeadeline]

Welcome to the under 301+ club. How tough are ya?

[@DeFySniping]

How tough am I? I ate a bowl of nails for breakfast...

[@joey7508]

I also ate a bowl of nails........without milk

[@blakeadams8872]

So?

[@CormacLynch98]

PokeCentralTCG B I ate a bowl of milk... without nails.

[@toughluck8012]

Unoriginal af

[@JustLikeJet]

''it's part of life'' damn no lie i shed a tear bro

[@MyJman24]

Getting away from the gaming for a sec, Matt is a real dude- he is so down to earth and has a unique and interesting story/life. I couldn't imagine life without my mom, this for sure made me tear up a bit.

[@HulkGotNikes]

GOAT

[@jephrz]

You're hella delusional smh

[@eltigre5374]

+B00TY TICKLER he never said what he was goat at

[@Innocznt]

I don't remember the last time I've ever commented on a video. I usually just lay back and watch KZbin videos from my subscriptions pretty much every day without leaving a like or a comment. Maybe it's just my laziness, maybe it's just my lack of motivation. If anything, this video just changed the way I look at life. As soon as the video ended, I texted my mom and told her I loved her. I don't know when I've ever done that. I suggest each and everyone of you that reads this comment does the same. You never really know what you have until it's gone.

[@kingisa00]

U can tell Justine has a crush on nadeshot

[@robert63ytc77]

Nade has a crush on her sister Jenna would be awkward for Justine if they started dating if they aren't already

[@Beyonder555]

Justine and Nade are good friends .. nothing more.. Not to knock Nade down, but Justine is a few notches above him in terms of looks... She can get way better looking guys. Why would it be awkward if Nade started dating her sister?

[@eternalcrowns9972]

Beyonder555 I think he meant it would be awkward for Justine and her sister Jenna is Nade and Justine started going out because Nade and Jenna have something going on right now, everyone can see it.

[@LBigJake14]

***** I think Justine is a little too old for Nade anyway lol

[@WalkingPaceWP]

Beyonder555 You base relationships of looks? Shallow fool xD

[@aadilchaudhry7825]

2016 anyone?

[@mad3840]

[@sergioroque8568]

[@eltigre5374]

[@Chaddymacmac]

You're the man Nade! My mother passed when i was in high school too so i feel for you brotha. You're a great person and deserve everything good in life. Much love

[@alex-um4bk]

People like Matt are really becoming a rarity in this world. Looking back now as a long time fan, It's humbling just to see how far he's come and the success he's having is well deserved.

[@infectate3466]

is this the first time justine met nade? because they are good "friends" now

[@teahstanford]

IKR

[@WonderGuardBKR]

What do you mean by "Friends"? He's dating her sister haha!

[@rushee]

[@CrazyGaming-fl2do]

[@RileyWuzzHere]

She’s with you Nade and trust she’s proud! You’re the GOAT bro! WE LOVE YOU! ✊🏽💯

[@DaMasterAssassin]

Nadeshot really is a good guy. I'm so happy that his career has blasted away to such a level. He's the perfect man to represent Call of Duty eSports.

[@krash6732]

Nade is so real. Such a great guy. Had me almost tearing up when he started talking about his mom. His story is such a great one.

[@pratikshaw]

You have been a real motivation to everyone watching this video.. You have make your mother show what you could do..

[@z_fluffy]

I started to tear up a little bit towards the end not gonna lie :/ I wish NaDe's Mom was around to see what he's achieved.

[@Ajaytis]

Was looking for inspiration and found this video 6 years later, I’m going to keep moving forward.

[@tahmed17]

Whether u like nadeshot or not, nobody can deny that he is one of the biggest legends of e sports and gaming overall

[@kjmcdaniel118]

[@JsAdventuresYT]

Dope AF! Nade I love you homie

[@JsAdventuresYT]

[@defectivebk2193]

+JsAdventures - Minecraft Vids but now ur not making videos smh

[@PL7I]

This guy has my utmost respect. Kid is a hard worker whether you like it or not.

[@LETPIGGYSPEAK]

Nade is an important figure in esports. He's helping grow esports and making it more possible to do the thing we love as a career. hes a great ambassador for us.

[@o2Shots]

I have never had so much respect for one man in my entire life! he has done so much for this pro scene, competitive call of duty has become so big because of him. Your mum is so proud of you nade! :D

[@99ProbllemsRS]

From a Halo fan/player... nothing but respect for this man. Honestly, couldn't ask for a more down-to-Earth, humble, and respectable person to be the face of eSports.

[@mdroid1234]

Gonna watch this everyday.

[@highstona777]

I HAD NO IDEA THAT HIS MUM PASSED AWAY :( that hit me hard! She will be damn proud of you right now bro

[@Zammie99]

[@bonythe2nd]

NaDeSHoT started from the bottom now he's here

[@nic_hopp]

your Mom would be proud of you Matt. Your Career is pure inspiration :) #100T

[@abdulbarikhan2049]

Who what of thought that A diabetic restaurant could make a professional COD player

[@chilton7853]

Ozone B1RD Do you shop at your local cancer market?

[@ghostex200]

Ozone B1RD it's not really the restaurant, it's mostly in the person that actually wants to succeed. All these successful people that we have today started from the bottom with low income jobs doing the ordinary

[@Grimneo]

Then on April 4th, 2015 Nadeshot takes a break.

[@smoofisgay794]

:(

[@dylanlee5337]

but has his one team now so how he dose well with it and bring his players whear he went in gaming to become a gaming GOD

[@smoofisgay794]

[@MarkyMoons]

Great interview Justine and good luck to Nade at the COD Champs!

[@TheMoosie]

Such a great interview with such a great guy! Keep it up Matt!

[@SnakeDelta]

[@theunratedclan2837]

[@CxrseGaming]

This hit me right in the feels 😭😭😭 bring it home Matt!!!

[@Midweekers]

such a nice guy, hope he wins champs

[@whydouneedakno]

Such a fake guy*

[@BGRyo]

Not gonna lie, when they were talking about his mom with all of his awards on the screen... I cried

Great video about gamers and all of us. Matt showed us most important thing - GO FORWARD AND FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS. Just go and take it. So you can hate him or love him, he is doing what he loves.

[@GamePro-youtube-channel]

Wow...I appreciate Nade very much...he is a great player and the best for me...he was ambitious and that's why now we all know him...GOOD WORK NADE :-)

[@grypps5375]

I can't believe I've never seen this before my motivation just grew 10,000%

[@MikeDrop66]

How can anyone hate a person who is trying to live their life the best they can and doing what makes them happy

[@paleforcehavok7456]

What an amazing and heart touching story. I didn't even know about half the things talked about in this video. :'(

[@DotDotFade]

Man i love nade. all the haters can back tf off. he has worked hard to get where he is and i have nothing but respect for him.

[@Mrcheesedip]

My dude nade has all my respect. I love this guy.

[@iiarsenalii9338]

Once they mentioned his mother i was literally in tears

[@SimplyAwsmo]

I just realized that Nadeshot grew up close to where I live.

[@DyLemmaOG]

Homie nadeshot made me cry so hard. Not sure what I'd do without my momma, she's raised me and it's mostly been just me and her.

[@BenLikesLemons]

The face of Competitive Call of Duty. Great video!

[@rgorinson20]

Even though I don't really support optic, these guys and nadeshot are feeling insane at what they do

[@SlingshotGamer]

Was so amped for him doing well in the champs :)

[@6Benni9]

i bet this interview was awkward, with IK. Matt be like, where's Jenna/

[@RRich100]

3.10-3.20, the feels are real

[@100krolex9]

Nadeshot" a legend that will not be forgotten .

[@TNM_SHREK]

i feel his struggle my father passed away two years ago

[@mnrduscolin]

Men I love him just keep up doing vlogs. he is really good at it always like whatching him

[@senecaparker]

One of the best players to touch the game. He needs to return.

[@xtrinity4lif3]

Would've been better if Jenna interviewed him. LMAO xD

[@ImagineWagonss]

And now he is the founder and ceo of 100 Thieves

[@d_slb_pt2824]

At first I was like 'Hell no, he made that princess cry', then a tear slippled from my face :( For sure a person to look up to.

[@scramsify3736]

Justine looks amazing in this interview.

[@millsy3192]

Love this video. Everyone is proud of you Matt. Run it up

[@yazanobeidallah]

What is that song in the background in the beginning of the video. I NEED TO KNOW

[@minormynah]

Darude - Sandstorm

[@philipplauterbach4357]

William Moultrie made my day :D

[@utstrafe847]

Get this W Matt, it's time to show them.what you been rocking.

[@ConnorPB96]

anyone else notice Jenna in the background

[@odin1509]

Connor Daniels were they dating during this

[@p8ntbawlr210]

LOVE THE VIDEO... but the only thing i can comment about... and its has nothing to do with how awesome the video is... but at the beginning of the video iJustine said " most recognizable players in esports history." twice... it just bugged me a little.. lmao

[@kingsnskttv1906]

Who else was sad when the interview finished?

[@superguyps3]

A big respect for that guy because he is pro at cod no but because he made a living by playing and by himself

[@mcpjoker14]

this series should be called "iJustine goes on dates with Call of Duty professionals"

[@f1nishline328]

How can you even hate on Nadeshot? As you see this video approves his personality, obviously in a good way. His mother passed away but he did not stop doing what he loves to do. Even if he might have messed up at COD Champs, don't hate on Nade, he does not deserve this at all. Remember what he has already done for Optic and the whole Call of Duty Community.

[@wailsalih588]

I love you nadeeee best dude out here keep doing big things yo you made it to the top because u worked hard your mom is watching you god bless her👌

[@mootorsport]

Nadeshot is the one that made COD Esports to what it is today, so dont hate on him. He is the COD savier.

[@viktorwallberg8590]

anyone else hyped for champs ?

[@VisesYT]

THE COMEBACK 2017

[@MrGHOSTMANx]

Justine is the sweetest girl man some reason just amazing that she cries for mother that's not hers but yet she can feel the accomplishment that nade has done and hits you that everyone that is a fan of Matthew "OpTic NaDeSHoT" Haag wish his mother was here to see it I showed my buddy this video and it made him tear on that part were he talks about his mom approving the career he has choosen imagine if that was you seriously it's a great story from Nadeshot that the whole world should hear and believe that dreams come true if you follow......ijustine she's also and inspiring person because she helps so much and experience close up stories from alot of these pro players Matthew "OpTicNaDeSHoT "Haag keep doing to man......

[@Beyonder555]

Nade and Justine are good friends.. That's what friends do

[@Tiko.98]

This dude is humble I like him already

[@wjobe12]

2020 anyone?

[@AceWolf456]

I have friends actually signing contracts into optic. Which is cool. Not myself, I only knife, and while I'm the best a bong the people I play with, it's a knife against a gun.

[@ug0ts3rvd]

No

[@BenLikesLemons]

DHG x Ace Wolf Great. Please keep us updated.

[@AceWolf456]

***** Aye, wouldn't want to be a liar.

[@RileyBruhh]

DHG x Ace Wolf OPTIC TRIGS BAHHHHHAAHAHAHA they play competitive only. This is why I don't play pubs anymore, jfc

[@SychicGamer]

What contracts are they signing tho? The sniper team was stopped and dropped and the competitive side is not hiring anyone. Good way to get scammed

[@TheRoadToSwagAwaitsYou]

So if I get enough quickscopes can I be in a video?
