From a McDonald's Cashier to Changing Esports Forever

These days, you probably know Nadeshot as the celebrity owner of 100 Thieves, one of the biggest esports orgs in the world.
But getting to the top took a lot of risks, including leaving behind his place as the face of competitive Call of Duty.
Nadeshot lived one dream, then another - he kept betting on himself, and doing things no esports org has ever done before.
He dared to dream big, and is one of the rare few who was willing to risk everything to make it happen.

I never grew up watching cod, but mad respect to Nade. I only began watching and following since they joined LCS. I’m such a big fan of his business and his podcast. So much to learn about business/organizations and it’s cool to see the behind the scenes of everything Nade has done

it was cringe but it's not an age thing at all. You know the demographic for esports is like mid 20s right?

@unknxwnuser31 Жыл бұрын

Unfortunately that’s how they’re gonna keep this channel running. They have to take sponsorships from Shopify, Kraken Rum and even the time when they obsessively pushed for Mobile games esports when Qualcomm snapdragon sponsored them. Point being they are only a few companies willing to burn money with no expectation of a return and they have to take what they can get to pay salaries for their team.

I’ve seen a lot of ur guys documentaries but this one one is the one I remember going through personally. The optic house, road to 50-0 on GB, watching all the MLG and UMG events, the chat always asking “when does optic play” etc. This was my childhood growing up. I remember when made announced he was taking a break. I always thought that he would be back considering he finally had a goated roster back then. Seeing a documentary about something you watched happen while it was going down is crazy.

Call of Duty did a lot for the esports scene whether people want to acknowledge it or not. It might not be the biggest esport, but its players/creators/owners are some of the biggest and most passionate personalities creating some of the largest brands.

Yea, it feels so weird that they're doing this podcast/interview style like they have a Nadeshot lore expert on. But everything is scripted, and it feels kinda weird when you throw in multiple people to tell a single story.

@@SilversEC and even if it wasn't scripted, they are random people who don't actually know nadeshot at all. They're just employees of thescore....why not interview nadeshot, or nadeshots friends/coworkers?

@@TachibanaTengokuyeah that's my biggest complaint with this series. It's focused on one person (Disguised Toast, Nadeshot, etc.) yet they transition to him sitting at the table giving the impression he's about to interview said person annnnnddddd nope. Just 2 employees of the company who read a script while the camera focuses more on the drinks than the subject at hand. It's honestly kinda disrespectful to the people that they make these videos for.

9:53 A big reason Nadeshot retired was because his team wasn't playing that well and Nade felt he wasn't as good as the other pro's any more. You really made it sound like Nade was the best player in the world when he retired.
