The Story of NICKMERCS

Nick “NICKMERCS” Kolcheff is Twitch’s everyman.
He’s about lifting weights, shooting heads, givin’ it 110 in-game and having a good time.
It takes just one click and you’re transported to Michigan, Nick’s hometown. To the land of the blue and gold Michigan Wolverines Nick loves so much. There you’ll be exposed to that hyper-masculine attitude, that winner takes all mentality, and that “I’ll hunt you down and land the kill competitive spirit.
This is his story.

Austin “the hammer” Davis!! We love and watch u nick on KZbin, twitch and follow on multiple social media platforms. Your a fucking legend bruh!! Dm me. Love to get on fort with ya just to say wazzz up to my son!!

I always forget that some people only know about him because of Fortnite. He was HUGE in CoD, and relatively good sized in Gears.

[@brandonmowery3770]

Literally never heard of him during CoD unless you're talking about after MW3 which were all trash and I'd argue MW3 was trash as well

Missed a big portion of his time in CoD, and how he went to be a Navy SEAL. Mad respect for all he's done, attempted, is doing, and will do.

[@Crazy-ek2ox]

You literally skipped his entire cod career. The thing that made him known

[@rec0il_179]

[@rajakhan12346]

He played the crap CoD games.

[@xyoungdipsetx]

Jesus Christ yup

[@iamconnorwoods]

rec0il _1 he mentioned that he played COD. Didn’t show any clips or anything. CoD is where Nick really started popping off and many of the good controller plays on fort game from following Nicks transition from CoD to Fortnite, disappointing CoD wasn’t more talked about in this.

[@ThisismyCH]

I agree it was touched on but more than anything it was literally the biggest part in his initial growth. Most of these people probably don’t even know that he would grind wagers all night with the original MFAM ampz and nio as a trio.

[@enkaaaeenkaaae5683]

Have been apart of the MFAM for the past 2 years. The part where he says it is like a family is 💯 dead on. I love chilling in his streams chatting to my brothers and sisters. I rep the MFAM everywhere. Own all his merch. It’s a spartan on my car, PS4, It’s on my bench press bench too. He truly has built a very welcoming community. Big props to who put this together and to our brother Nick Kolcheff 🍻.

[@bigbabybuda5507]

To be honest this guy seemed to put a lot of work in and most people don’t now.Enjoyed the video,may have missed some stuff out but is was really enjoyable.

[@bachiboi]

Nick was a top BO3 and apart of THE BEST MWR team there was. How can you forget this?

By far my favorite cod streamer and all around content creator

[@hobosdominecraft1]

The E-Sports players I had known at the time we’re OpTic and FaZe people until Warzone came out this year and I found a KZbin video of him with Cloakzy and TimTheTatman and instantly, I recognized he had something special. His personality is probably my favorite part of him and his entire legacy is incredibly respectable. Legend Man.

[@daniboii69420]

"The fish is a beta fish, so I figured the best name for the fish would be Tim..." XD

[@raffy9841]

The farthest back I remember watching nickmercs was back in 2015 when he played Gears of war ultimate edition. I admit when my love for Gears died so did my time with nickmercs. Now I watch whatever he plays because his personality has grown over the years.

[@s0da39]

Story of Xqc please

Ian Sahota I agree

[@maxssivee]

yesss

[@vanillatwice]

I discovered him at the end of COD BO2 after all the main streamers signed deals to move to the MLG streaming platform, Nick and Tim were at the top of the list. I think this plays a big role in the initial growth of both of them.
