YOU Changed My Life (NaDeSHoT's Short Story)

[@alex-um4bk]

It feels like I watched this video for the first time just a few months ago. Wow Nade, it's insane to see how far you've come. Always stay humble and remember your roots man. To see the success you're having is truly an inspiration, and it's damn well deserved.

[@SirBrocahontas]

:)

[@santheman4861]

Yo ikr

[@AJ-ve7ck]

if your mom could see where you are today she would be so proud of you

[@PhilgonegetchaSelfConscious]

Nade, those nostalgia moments will never be forgotten-- and with that being said, your Mom made you a stronger person by giving you that challenge because she saw the potential in you as it relates to competitiveness. Even though she wasn't as supportive as you would have liked her to be she was just being a "Mom" by wanting you to get your education. So as you were pursuing your career in gaming, she was really rooting you on because "a Mom knows her baby". In closing, be encouraged and know that your Mom was looking out for you then and still to this day she's looking over you. Trust me

[@BlackOpsFanboy420]

Dude this made me cry bro thanks for shout out Nade you inspire eachone of your followers to Follow there Dreams and listen to there Heart and not be fooled by the Mind

[@DarkyPTT]

i think it too!

[@Bentprop1]

Yes

[@neptunesicor]

Very wise words

[@IphonecaptainMitch]

You really touched my heart. I know how you feel about wondering if you are screwing your life up. I think about it every day. I share the same passion you do about making videos. I want to make it so bad. I had a motorcycle accident in 2004 which paralyzed my right arm. I was a school teacher in a small town that kind of went south. But thats a whole other story. Please just keep the faith. I'm sure your mom is happy and you now have the satisfaction that you made your channel and gaming career successful. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@toxictouch6639]

Your mom is proud & I know she would do anything to be here to support you, but in spirit & In heart, she's here with you, paving the way to more luck and success.

[@crusaderplays9679]

When you started going pink and your eyes started watering when you talked about your mom you almost made me cry ;)

[@imScyllar]

[@RealSykes]

I have seen this a million times, And every time I watch it I tear up with ya Matt. You honestly are a inspiration for me & my channel. Thanks for being there and staying true and humble through everything that has happened. You deserve a million more subscribers! Thanks Matt!

[@wudchop]

In all honesty i haven't played Call of Duty for a couple years now (properly anyway) But i still remember watching your old series' with you and predator and morning wood and all that. I haven't watched any of your videos for a while but i saw you pop up in my sub box and saw how much your channel had grown. Congrats man, you got this.

[@Bffdoer]

I came back, months after watching this initially, and this is one of, if not my favourite, video that you have made. You have gone through so many hard things in your life; your mother's death, but yet you somehow persevere. And on top of that tragedy, people make fun of that and treat you like shit, to the point where you feel obsolete to other gamers on the professional side. You are a smart person and you don't deserve the amount of shit you get. You're a good person, and that's why we love you.

The best comment on this video Matthew you're awesome mah Brah

[@ItsDSJ]

Watching this just after you hit 2 million subs. Crazy to see how times changed. Happy to see how far you've gone from then to now. Keep it up Matt :)

[@briansomers9691]

If your mum was still here she would be so proud of her son that was once working at McDonalds and now a millionaire cod gamer, you deserve the best man your my inspiration!

[@Muggsy]

I remember when I made your MW2 Day-tage a few years back. I stayed up an entire school night to finish it. You had about 20k subs then. It's crazy how far you've come. Props.

[@sirimp7]

It is amazing to watch this and for people to finally understand what it is like for people to become a proffesional gamer for good... shows the stress and everything that goes with it. R.I.P MumSHot she would be very proud of like she would be all the time.

[@insanityofmine7569]

And now, your at over 1,000,000 subscribers. Great job, Nadeshot. Just keep going, and you'll reach beyond infinity.

Honestly touched me bro. I am extremely passionate about gaming and i work 30-40 hours at Five Guys and i'm on my senior year of high school. My mom hates my video games and tries to take it away until i got a new controller and played at night. Although i can't afford a elgato or a scuf controller for my ps3 i try my hardest to try and not give up. Watching this video made me realize maybe with a little faith ill get where you are today. Well wish me luck hopefully i can get what i want soon.

[@noobi1947]

Go for bro!

[@kieranmorrow6597]

Yo I'm the same way. I'm a 360/ xbox 1 gamer trying to make it working the same hours at Five Guys too. Buying either an elgato or a scuf off my next paycheck.

[@sparx958]

Hey man, I know youll never see this, I just came from your video of your new house with haley. I remember watching this video when I was 13 and you inspired me so much to get involved in eSports and gaming. I knew from this video this was the industry I wanna be apart of. I just want to say, man to man, how proud I am of you and how far you've come through the years. Those years in your first apartment and those paranormal videos, those tough times i watched it all man. Your story is very inspiring, please never stop being you, and continue to share your knowledge and love with the world. I know your mom would be so proud. Much love homie.

[@iKayorei]

Never knew your mother passed away. It really must've been painful for your mother to not see your KZbin progress today.

[@iKayorei]

***** That's what I'm saying, baka!

[@lilmisol909]

***** your stupid asf. Not everyone thinks like you not everyone is sarcastic of serious topics like you.

[@ChefBsK]

Just found your channel today, so glad I did. That was a great video, thank you for sharing your times with us and for being so grateful to all the crew supporting you! I'll be rooting for you from today on and hope you and your family the best! Cheers!

who else teared up when nade talked about his mom😥 RIP

[@OneLoveTlo10]

R.i.p. Momma nade. I know she's looking down at you Nadeshot and is very proud of you and your accomplishments. You are going to be know as one of the original gods of pro gaming years from now. You and the rest of optic are helping MLG become a real profession in this world. Keep up the good work.

[@SuperSkippz]

This is my favourite video on the Internet. This video is very moving and I have watched it over and over because of how motivating it is. Just remember to never give and keep doing what you love.

Very touching Nade. I know your mom is looking down on you, hoping the best for you which you are showing her. I will always be supporting you and you inspired me to pursue a gaming career. Thank YOU

[@wonder5167]

It's so weird. Matt is a completely different person now. I've only been a fan for like a year but I've gone back and watched almost all of his old videos. To be honest I kinda like the old Matt more. Not that I don't like Nadeshot right now but there's just something different and brighter that he used to have but doesn't quite have anymore. Maybe it's just me but even since he's taken his break he doesn't have the same flare I saw in this video. Once again I still love nade and he's tied with CS for my favorite youtuber.

[@jasonnguyen7317]

HAPPY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO THIS VIDEO!!!!!

[@Tahaerkul]

7 years now🥲

[@HOOLERMASTERSHugo]

OMG i started to cry

[@Danish10xHD]

Watching this video again in 2015 cause I'm in such an emotional mood with after watching Furious 7 and Paul Walkers passing from nearly 2 years ago, and this video about Matt and his mom passing away tears me up even more :( I know your mom is looking down on you now friend and she is the proudest mother in the world! Your an amazing player and person never stop with what your doing.

[@Symphiney]

Imagine him when he got one subscriber...

[@TheKeadle11]

The feels.

[@renarolon8291]

I cant wait for your comeback to competitive

[@hidesitemg]

won't happen

[@byejonas]

Watching this now again as you've reached 1 000 000 subscribers. I've been watching you from the start (uoutube and twitch). I really like your vids, your personalty and how humble of a person you are. This is probably my favourite video from you. It's well deserved how far you've come since you started. And altough I'm not really religious I'm sure your mom knows, and where ever she may be she's watching over you! Much love Matt!

[@ATalkingBadger]

You seem like a very classy guy. God bless you. Keep up the good work.

[@gamer22887]

Nadeshot is such a good speaker

[@ldemon_ninja]

Hey Nadeshot I want to be just like you I'm striving for what you have I starting to get all my stuff to live stream man and I really want a gaming community like optic gaming I've been wanting a group like that you guys are awesome, and amazing and I know what you mean about your struggle I'm in that situation right now but I support Optic Gaming ya are the best I really enjoy your videos keep it man thanks for the advice. I admire you man thanks again

[@modz1099]

Broke out a tear in this bro, just looking back over your videos and how you've progressed, just remember your moms in a better place and she'd be so proud of you if she was still among us, keep your head up bro! And props to where you are now!

It's been 3 years and people are like "all you do is play video games" I just delted the channel and started this one. I'm not gonna really show my face until I hit around 1,000 subs. You don't know the torture I went through, even my teachers saw them and played them on the smart board. I thought about killing my self that night... 😣😞

Hi Nadeshot! Your Mother is always watching you, she is proud of you it doesnt matter if she is dead. She is looking down for you and i bet everything that i got, that she is really proud of you. Probably you never gonna seen this comment but im here since the beggining, and im gonna stay here untill the end. Love Nade, stay strong!

[@atcslay5140]

Nadeshot bro i really want you to know that everyday i wake up im just waiting for u to upload a.video. i usually watch your live stream for 1-2 hours and i have been your supporter since bo2. Sometimes i even have dreams of meeting you like one day i had a dream you went to my school and i sall you in class sitting you looked kinda shy. I went up.to you.and said.whats sup.nadeshot with the biggest smile on my face and u looked at me funny like u didnt know you were gonna have more than a mill subscribers gonna be known as the face of competitive cod, sponsored by redbull,and almost make a mill a year. Nadeshot trust me your mom is proud. :)

[@Sparkytoon999]

I watched this video over 50 times and I can't stop watching it because it shows how hard it is for some cod players to get this far. Nadeshot is an amazing player and he will keep on growing and growing until the day he dies. This is the best story he told. I can't wait for the future to come and see what he does. Nadeshot your an awesome person and keep up the fantastic work :).

How's life 3 years ago

[@DJaquithFL]

Gaming 'got it' but unless what you're doing now provides a sustainable 7-figure income then what are you going to do in your late 20's and beyond!? Listen I'm about your parents age and I like to play games for 'fun' but now at 49 I can easily retire, I own my own business .. Data Center. IF you were a Pro Athlete and earning a solid 7 or 8 figure income and could save at least $500K or more per year then sure, but gaming you've got maybe a few more years and that's it .. you'll be too old to be a competitive gamer. Any form of athlete is short lived. Q - How many Pro Gamer's are in their mid-20's, 30's and/or older??? Now if you're a smart guy attempt to think LONG TERM, in my case I refuse to hire anyone without a full college degree. Food for thought & good luck!

[@adcasa24]

He makes about 11k a month

[@DJaquithFL]

adcasa24 To you that might seem like a lot, I don't know, my first 8 months out of college I earned $250K and the next year $450K or about $38K/mo and that was in the late 1980's. Now it's a lot more and I don't kill myself working anymore, but pff at his age I worked 70+ hours a week as a start-up. My wife now is semiretired and as a Realtor makes 3X times his income and only working part-time. Our personal living expenses are an easy $15K/month and my house and cars paid-off; no debts. Living in poverty row my expenses would be $8K+/mo. Listen, he's a smart kid, seems to have potential, and combined with being self employed the income potential today is a flip of a coin. Give anyone a $1M bucks and most will blow it all in a couple of years .. or less. IF you want to retire and have a decent lifestyle you need a solid $4M~$5M in the bank saved, that is unless you want to live off social security in a lonely apartment and working in your 80's in a Wal-Mart. Real World.

[@tdawg9847]

D Jaquith Ya but your gaming skills dont decay like an athlete's abilities do you don't see old gamers cause it is a young sport and he has youtube and twitch. However, I do agree, he is thinking in the short term. If Optic fails this upcoming tournament what happens then?

[@DJaquithFL]

Pro Gamer's 'skills' are very short lived, and I don't know one Pro that's in even their late 20's much less any in their 30's. This to me seems like a folk in the road with a quick dead end. It's his life not mine. I only wish him well and success.

Nade when I saw this video I thought you were going to have gameplay over but then I realized no. My mom says that gaming is stupid and she says that I have to play sports to do good in life well my dad is a huge fan and we'll I live with my mom because they divorced when I was two and I can't afford really anything to record with so I don't really think I will be able to become pro but I really wish that I had an opportunity to actually get a pvr to record but I really don't i, not an amazing player I wish the best to you and optic I will watch every single tournament until the day I die and I will be there when you guys win the tournaments I just don't have the money and I am kind off in the same situation my grandma died a year back and she Is really the only person besides my dad who really said you can do it make sure you share the money when you win one of those events but unnfurtanetly I can't split the money but I will always remember that she was the first persons to really believe in me
