Why Nadeshot Was CoD’s Most UNDERRATED Champion

[@owendeyoung6917]

How can they forget Rock paper scissors world champion!!!!!

[@AidanBeans]

The retiring was good for him. Look how he's doing now, the most popular and successful of any of the guys in the Cod scene.

[@Michael-vw4cg]

Murphy _ our respect on hectors name

[@AidanBeans]

Michael Kaneko go look up both their net worths bud

[@Michael-vw4cg]

Murphy _ net worths don’t mean shit lol. I can 100% guarantee you that those numbers you googled are not accurate what so ever. Success should be measured by how much you’ve accomplished and how much impact you’ve had overall. Hecz literally helped create the whole cod competitive scene the way it is now. He started the idea of competitive gaming houses, he’s jump started nades career, stumps career, mboze, you name it. And since hector was bought out of optic his bank account is looking mighty fat but that’s just pure speculation.

[@AidanBeans]

Michael Kaneko i also meant in term of players, him crim Scump aches apathy etc. Wasnt really trying to include Hecz as he’s never been a high level player

[@Michael-vw4cg]

Murphy _ my guy hecz was competing way back in the day. When MLG started. Come on kid study up

[@Astrohhh]

Nadeshot is the only reason I ever got into gamebattles and he completely opened my eyes to the competitive scene. I credit years of entertainment to that dude.

[@TritonZGG]

Same but just never did GameBattles him and scump got me into comp gaming and now comp cod with watching cdl and the huntsman

[@ericd4542]

Nade wasn’t underrated but rather under appreciated. Before he retired, people hated on him because he wasn’t at his best, and he was a scapegoat for Optic’s failure. But without him, there wouldn’t have been CDL w franchises

[@whenisdinner2137]

I mean there might have cause scump still exists but I know what you mean.

[@cammurray255]

I wouldn't say that nade was a big part of cod being franchised now because he didn't even buy a spot, but I assume you mean without him cod would never have got this far as an esport and I agree with that.

[@mr.stormm9599]

Mr. Stormm ....... ok dude

[@prabhsidhu4955]

What ? Nade retired 5 years ago while scump carried the scene on his back lmfao nade has nothing to do with there being a cdl

[@gabrielcarlson9154]

He was actually really good. And a super good dude. Very successful as well. It's been cool to watch him grow up🔥

[@KidRobe]

I didn’t even know cod competitive league until I found Nadeshots channel been a fan ever since

[@ninevick35aimcom]

Thats a beautiful way to put it.. Nade and so many others became obsolete once mechanics became OP.. Doesnt diminish those that relied heavily on strategy and positioning to compensate for lack of mechanical gunskill.. Nade is still a legend

[@Sterlingtor]

Damn this is bringing back memoriessss, I remember watching all of nadeshots videos as they came out, I thought he was the coolest dude alive!

[@iitsLuminous]

This is so damn accurate sheesh. From how Competitive Cod it's explained to how Matt was overwhelm with pressure from players

[@kingmaysb6332]

Finally some damn respect for made, imo other then Rambo he was the best shot caller

[@djturner1992]

Nade legendary for what hes inside and outside the scene

[@RyGuy1127]

People clown Nade too much. He was actually a solid player. Formal has even said that in the past

[@hugoduzit]

THE GOAT !!!

[@piercedirkis1755]

Jetpacks took away what makes CoD so enjoyable; a game where strategy, and accuracy/movement can be equally important.

[@NovaToga]

I don’t think he was underrated skill wise, his personality carried his COD career.

[@tolbster.]

I mean, you gotta respect it. He amongst pros to begin with. The top of the top at the time. And he could somewhat hang. Under appreciated

[@SirGouldy]

Nah Nade was nasty at SND, many clutches and strats leading to wins..

[@robertknight6089]

His respawn was definitely questionable. But in certain cods like ghosts he was one of the best snd players

[@uhmz1212]

@@SirGouldy nah he used scump as bait wich is good but its funny how people said scump sucked and nade was a god 🤣 It just shows people have bad judgement. Nade was pro worthy back in those days but average to lower tier overal player. Like censor!

[@SirGouldy]

Nade was never a censor! How dare you 😂😂 blasphemy.

[@babadabahp]

But he's 2 time winner of the esports personality of the year

[@clarity_supp]

In a way, nadeshot was to CoD what Ninja was for fortnite. Big personalities that propelled their games in popularity. That being said, he carried the entire green wall in Ghosts

[@willurquhart7374]

Why doesn’t it talk about nade winning Cod xp in mw3. That was one of his biggest wins

[@yikes3154]

Off topic (kind of) but I went fucking mental when the BigT van bomb happened 😂 one of the most iconic moments in CoD history imo

[@charliecranston5]

This video does a pretty good job explaining. I quit cod for a few years after Advanced Warfare. Boots on the ground is what made that game great and adding jetpacks and shields just turned it into Halo.

[@FloppyFroggyX]

He wasn’t underrated he was the biggest KZbinr and twitch streamer for COD when he was pro

[@PAPADUCKYT]

Nadeshot Was A Blick ofnGrave

[@chasethecw]

Why do I recognize the voice on this? Is this Brohard?

[@smileyjones1742]

Yo bro you might be right

[@Limozo]

Nadeshot is a very solid player and has always been, he has never deserved all that shit but hey! It the COD community, what did you expect?

[@noahstoner2864]

Nade wasn’t underrated at all. He was good at SnD ig. More underrated players would be Slacked, Skyz, Priestahh, Teepee, etc

[@juddgod3376]

Priestahh and teepee underrated?

[@noahstoner2864]

Judd God all of time yes. Nobody talks bout teepee or Priestahh. When you think of faze you think of MC and the terrors.when you think of Col you think of C6 and the 3x

[@juddgod3376]

@@noahstoner2864 teepee was always known as the best obj player to touch the games he played. He was underrated under the team he played but that's because of the players he was around similar to nadeshot. But when they lost he was never the scapegoat, clay and karma both became the scape goat multiple times becuz they couldn't get a player better than teepee at what he did. I get what u mean on a team basis tho. With priestahh I get what u mean with this game but in bo4 the biggest storyline was the fact he joined a team that already had Kenny, octane and slasher in it and he was the hot topic for that team so I think its rlly subjective when u think about it. Very hard to judge of all time cuz most of the players that would get the slack are from the old style of games like nade and teep.

[@dasit1965]

Noah Stoner he is probably the most important player cod has seen.

[@noahstoner2864]

Das It true I’m grateful that he showed millions the competitive community but still when it comes to performing he’s not there

[@jdotxl]

I do not believe the comments here saying "he wasnt underrated", he 100% was. Like the video outlined, it is not to say he wasnt the least mechanically gifted on his squad, its to say in comparison, 75% of the pro scene would have been viewed exactly the same, campared to those OPICS line-ups. But where that other 75% would have lacked as well, Nade was a proven leader and obj player. I remember and i still see b tier pro talk trash on nade mechanics. Not to mention, he drove the viewership and popularity growth, he is responsible, at a LARGE percentage of the growth. I think although people give him props for it, we are still UNDERSTATING Nade's impact.

[@chromedomo4826]

He just wasn't a great player he was average at best

[@MuhammadMatias]

[@codytorres6249]

Love nadeshot always have and always will. Modern warfare with ninja lol that shit is great.

[@G4M3PI4Y]

Rambo no doubt was a better player and stratigst but would eSports be as big as it is without Nade playing the part he did. Nade is who got me into eSports when I was younger and inspired me to compete. Sucks my dad never would let me go to Lan or pay for online tournaments.

[@AsHDro1d]

esports would, COD maybe not but to suggest Nadeshot is responsible for a global phenomenon of which most traction comes from the other side of the world and from games Nadeshot has never played let alone invested in is taking it a little to far and is evident of the fact that Nadeshot not as only as a player but as a human being is quite obviously massively overrated.

[@G4M3PI4Y]

@@AsHDro1d I was specifically thinking of COD when I made my statement. You are right. Their are alot of title's that paved the way and are larger then COD. I kinda also agree that he's overrated. But something about him draws people in. He somehow has a "it" factor that really dosent make sense but it works for him.

[@Stayalive34]

Mr. Fundamental Fundamentals always win

[@alfredoaguilera8976]

Nade wasn't that skilled. He was solid as an OBJ player but that's pretty much it. Still, he was charismatic and he was humble. When the OG team from Ghost suffered an absolute meltdown, he took full responsibility and he grinded the game to become better at it and be a better teammate.

[@AsHDro1d]

meltdown was his fault though and he never accepted responsibility at all, he built a god squad around him and refused to curb his ego right up until Crim told Hecz its either 'him or me'.

[@alfredoaguilera8976]

@@AsHDro1d the Ghost's team meltdown was also on Scump. They had this toxic rivalry and that was the main cause of the team collapse. I agree with the Crim part. Had Karma been the fourth man instead of Nade, I think they take Champs 2015.

Great piece - there Are some Odd pacing issues with the voiceover. It seems robotic 🙄

@christian mejia rightfully so, he didn't belong on a pro team skill-wise during Ghost and AW. He was there because he was the most popular and significantly helped with viewership.

[@cammurray255]

@@zackmose it's not always about being the most mechanically gifted and having robot like aim. he was a good enough player to belong on a pro team and he was one of the best OBJ players of that era and he is never remembered for that, he's only remembered for all the scrutiny and bad times and that's what the video is about and is what angel meant by their comment. Sure maybe his popularity helped prolong his career at the very top level during AW but that doesn't mean he isn't underrated.

[@ryanunknown5817]

Nade was never the best player, i look at him almost like Karma (btw GOAT) but his stats were never at the top but both of them are the players you wanted on your team in a round 11 SnD because their knowledge of the game and how to win key moments is so much better then most players. Also him and Hector are like OG's of the CDL today, i mean they made pro cod into what it is.
