HE'S PROBABLY THE BEST BUT IF YOU TAKE AWAY THOSE HACKS HE USES HE'S NOT EVEN AN AVERAGE PLAYER. HE'S GARBAGE. FACTS!!
@@BreakingPointGG song name 17:00 - 18:00 ? Please can you tell the songs name? 🫣🫣🔥🔥
Erm can we take a moment to appreciate how well put together this was if this guy produced and edited all of this? I don't even play COD but watched the entire thing!
Huke took a 100k pay cut to team with an unproven kid who played SnD for 1 year. Then he took a step back in his role and let Shotzzy start slaying. huke and illey are a huge part of his success
they knew what was going to happen, way before anyone did.
What choice did they have
@@villesideveteran2121 huke could have not vouched for him and that would have been the end of it
Huke sounds like a great leader, what team does he play for?
@@billyzaparolli6570 surge i believe havent watched in a while tho
There legit couldnt have been a better person to fill the Kings shoes. Absolute beast of an SMG and an absolute entertainer. grinds his stream and content whilst being one of the best players in the world. I love OpTic and I love Shotzzy.
Idk what U mean by filling his shoes when they were in the same team together... They're literally nothing alike play style wise soo
@@DelayEditsYou’re annoying. Don’t know if anyone has told you that yet.
@@DelayEditsyou have to be joking you cant be this stupid right ?
Filling his shoes as in becoming the face of the OpTic team @@DelayEdits
@@DelayEdits they literally talk about him filling Scump's shoes in the video. you must be fucking brain dead.
Shotzzy truly is a generational talent
Scump and him 1v1 😮
@@driver_7283 scump would destroy him
I think they're both evenly matched. Each has more skill in certain areas than the other. I bet Scump taught him a lot when they were on the same team. Both are insanely talented and super fun to watch.
gringos just learned the word generational can now they cant stop spamming it

"I'll bet my house on it" says Censor.
Keys, please.
Typical L censor take
😂😂
Sorry I already moved in
Censor should be homeless from multiple bets he’s put out there
I knew Huke took a paycut to have Shotzzy on the team but 100k plus is insane payed off in the end. Makes me wonder how much the likes of Crim, Clay, Scump etc were making if Huke was getting min 100k
Super risky but you gotta tip the balls to do that on an unproven player
Huke was a high caliber player by then he was making a good amount I’m sure. 100k cut is tippable regardless
Legend for that. Always commended him for him taking up his flaws and still pushing through. Really is a team player, always have/will root for him.
Huke was him in mw 2019 bruh
Id say it was probably ATLEAST 25% of his pay i cant imagine he was making so much to where it was negligible which while yeah 400k is alot but 100k is still a huge chunk to wager
Shotzzy has already inspired so many young players. Just nice to see + extremely entertaining to watch.
He really is the heir to Scump, so many wanted to be ScumperJumper and now the next generation is trying to move like Shotzzy.
shout out thomassi papparoto for defending our boy
Always backing Cheetah
absolutely
defending our boy? lmfao zoomaa will always back and defend the optic boys because he doesn't want to lose fans lmao
@@Glaithius Zoomaa on FaZe tho
@@Glaithius craziest cope ive read today
If you think about shotzzy legit had a new team every year and finally this one stuck the whole year and they won two events hopefully they stay again for bo6 and win some more chips
They just won champs lmao, they not changing the roster.
@@iiTzJhart saying it as if they make a mid season change it would suck because shotzzy takes time to get used to teammates and as of now he has had his longest team staying together in awhile and they won 2 chips , so next year looks good baring they don’t get bad placings
@@iiTzJhart that didn't stop the subliners lmao, but I'm with you, this roster looks solid and they all haven't had anything too negative to say about each other so team synergy seems high enough to not blow it up
Hecz will never let go of Shottzy. His a Franchise Player, the same path with Scump..
shotzzy finna be insane with omnimovement
i dont think most ppl understand how crushing can be being openly hated by a crowd right after having a really bad performance in front of everyone. This man gotta have a really strong mindset to push through that. Makes you wonder what kind of parents he has and how they manage to teach him something like that.
Appreciate ya'll showing his beginnings with Nfinite, it was an awesome time and I am humbled to have worked with such an incredible player. He's killed it ever since jumping into CoD and the conversations leading up to MW2019 was all about winning and getting a championship. Super proud of Ant, his accomplishments have been nothing short of incredible, he will go down in history as one of the best FPS players to ever touch the sticks.
“Alright guys..”- tacrab
i can literally hear it :DDD
Rab, you're doing the lord's work documenting all this. In 10 years, this will hit like crack.
Love shotzzy dude is hella humble always entertaining and had to deal with too many
Unstable roster situations. Face of cod for sure
we thought it would be envoy, (as in taking the place of scump) but its actually shotzzy, so likeable :D
@@mathiashaha envoy doesn’t have the content personality to carry the scene. It’s very impressive for shotzzy to do content stream a lot and be successful while most pros only focus on competing
@@shafialanower3820no bappp he really taking over with scump gone
@@nostalgic978 he’s way better than Scump and more entertaining to watch
We movin' into Aches' head with this one bois!!!
We are also moving into Censors house .
@@KayraRayne 🤣 I forgot about that!
Great video, Shotzzy is broken and Patty Price can cry all he wants 😂
i swear that dude finds anything to hate on from his little arm chair 😭😭😭
This was actually such a good video. Love these style of videos. Thank you for this 🙏
Huke is such a great person fr❤️🙏🏽
Exactly I respect huke a lot more now!
Much Respect to Shottzy! 💯 He handled all of the negative criticism with maturity and proved his Worth💯
Huke took a hundredK + salary cut for shotzzy is crazy how much they get paid.
That was only for that year. Franchising was new and the CDL made a lot of false promises about how each team was going to make in revenue.
@@Killchaingg Yes, correct. I think pred said he’s currently making around 600k… that’s still crazy don’t you think?
@@Tekevin he bout to cash out harder next year...
@@Tekevin Yeah it is, but part of optic's salary is also allocated to paying for "content". Scump was getting a million which is pretty insane, even with the content 😳
@@Tekevin Lmao. he doesnt "make" 600k. hes making 6 figures for sure but if youre talking 600k per year, youre trippin.
Definition of “Don’t get Bitter, GET BETTER” 👏🏾👏🏾
That's all I ever did in life I don't understand jealousy if I want something I try to get it I don't get mad that others have it 😂
"im just a person playing a game trying to have fun, its not about winning all the time" a 2 time cod world champ and halo world champ said that.
so much weight on his shoulders and young ant still delivers! Love his mindset and the way he improve and change the movement in general
been following ant since the dallas team was announced in 2019. Truly amazing to see his growth the past 5 or so years
That comment resonated with me.. Shotzzy, possibly the only person to win a world championship, in two different games.. This is probably not in the same realm? But.. I won the Yahoo Pool, World Championships long time ago, and some short years later, was #1 online in NHL 2k6, multiple times..
my GOAT
Not really an optic fan but he did what many people dream of doing. Happy for him and hope to see more success from him in the future.
watching this made me realize that most of Simp and Abezy's teammates over the years are no longer in the league anymore
thats what godlike players do, kind of the same in formula 1 where being next to Max Verstappen is almost always a death sentence xD. bit much, but you get my point
@@mathiashaha Idk if that's a fair comparison.
Slasher arcitys Preistah majormaniak clay cell Draz all in the league this year??
I mean .. barely
the big 3 in FaZe was the only consistent thing this season imo. Ultra and OpTic and the pacing of the game caught up with them this season for sure. hopefulky in BO they bring back the full squad instead of changing at least 1 person
Incredible production value on this. Insanely entertaining. You’re going to grow so much with this quality output.
they really had a chance to put scump, dashy, formal, and shotzzy on the same team and they went with illey. Crazy work.
Damn shout out to Huke for doing that.
Halo AND Cod world champion is crazy with such high competition
Shotzzy since joining OpTic
6 grand finals apps
3 event wins
1 ring
2024 champs mvp
Had the pleasure of playing against Shottzy in a Halo Swat tournament. I thought this guy was crazy on 1 sens and lefty flip but nah he was different gravy movement on 1 sens and his aim was unreal
That sequence at 19:50 was legit Jedi shit!!!🤯🤯🤯
Shotzzy seems like a great kid…which mean more to me than his COD skills. Good for him! And Huke, you day man for being selfless!
Great video! Dat boy Ant is the GOAT 🐐
Had the pleasure of playing against shortly back in the halo days with frosty and other insane player. The fact shotzzy used a 1 sensitivity and aimed with his left stick and moved with his right stick was insane
Being a great guy and teammate is why he’s at the top right now his attitude is the best
Yo there was a ton of work put into this. Much respect.
Shotzzy is truly the next Scumpii!
Unreachable feat but he's great
@@DreamsTCG If he keeps winning then it's possible.
I have been watching Halo eSports since 2016. I first saw Shotzzy on Splyce and he was insane. When I heard he went to COD, I was sad that I wouldn't see him in Halo, but I have now started watching COD eSports as of 2022. My god, it's been incredible to watch him dominate this game and have his own style of play be so potent in every single map he plays. I had no idea he struggled when he first transitioned, but I'm so happy to see him push through it.
I also had the privilege of seeing Huke compete in Halo before moving to COD.
He's what you call an anomaly in the FPS world. Nobody can ever replicate his mechanics
What are you talking about? Hydra can and he does it better
@@EemMiIiLlLldelusional comment, lol. 😂
@@EemMiIiLlLl lol no.
@@EemMiIiLlLl these replies are brain dead, hydra and shotzzy are very close to the same player and both do the most unbelievable shit. I'm just happy to be in the same time as abezy, simp, shotzzy, and hydra. CDL is in a great spot with these guys on all different teams
Hydra is very close if not on the same page as shotzzy, everyone wants to compare hydra to simp but hydra is closer to abezy/shotzzy, but i still believe hydra is the best player in the world. Simp is literally right behind him but i cant deny what paco does year after year with his squad compared to faze or optic. This guys is dropping 45 on HPs to win maps.
At least he can see how quick people switch up in this community.
I wanna see Huke have a comeback like this for real he deserves it
Yes sirrr
Amazing editing holy whoever does the editing to find the clips of everything is insane to even think about well done
I might be an old timer but shottzy reminds me of the old scump, truly a generational talent.
the tactical crab does it again with an absolute banger
🦀🦀🦀
Shotzzy easily became me favorite E-Sports player. Because of him I am a huge fan of Optic Gaming!
Gotta be greatest controller esport player all time yea?
Formal didn’t stop existing. Ant is probably 2nd
formal number 1 hes done everything shotzy done with better individual skill, but in like 2-3 years yah hell prolly be
@@mysticgoon but ant got more rings now, i think that cements it for some people
@@bxsnel4820 and formal has more wins in both game series💀 don’t take this as me dissing Ant it’s just too soon to say he’s the goat controller esports player. He’s still got time
@@ryn1262 only thing is that shotzzy got more rings now
The way he looks at London so cold. He wasn’t standing for all that talk
Imagine being Aches?
It's fine to be the villain and have ragebait takes, but sometimes you just take the L and move on.
This is the time to take the L.
Not as bad as the L from Nameless in the 2019 season, "Shotzzy isn't ready and won't be this year." Then the dude goes on to win Champs and be the seasonal MVP.
I was introduced to shottzy in mw2 2022. As soon as I seen him. I knew he would be my fav player of all time next to scump.
I think Doug needs to lose the house with that bet😂🤷🏽♂️
They really made a video about the legend . I been rooting for him since day one . Never no one else I just knew 😂🎉❤
shotzzy won his first ring at 16 wtf I didnt know that
levels to this shit
Yea he was a Halo pro for only one year and won Champs that year then went to cod the next year and won champs again lol
"Go back to Halo" Shottzy proved so many people wrong.
Ant is fckin goated
the young generation watching this back in my era we were watching OpTic Pyshosis , IReapZz ya don’t know what great memories we og gamers had .
AT THE BEGINNING EVERYONE WAS ON HIS ASS: NOW THERE ALL DI..ridin
still remember everyone calling him Botzzy after his first lan experience (showcase matches) and calling him a flop
@@CODShowcase yeah. I’m sure at least half of the people calling others out for not believing in him, didn’t believe in him either. ESPECIALLY the optic fanboys lol
@@chriscarter4563bro he was on envy 😂
Having a “thumb injury” and showing the doctors visit is hysterical. I get that these are real athletes in a sense but the sad key doctor visit was just funny
Not going to lie i play cod but i dont follow esports at all. I had no idea it was this serious. From the guy with the thumb injury to the guy on the panel saying Shottzy wasnt a super star kind blew me away. It was like almost watchings commentary on physical sports. Im going to start tunning in more.
I remember these events when they were happening and deadass I wasn’t a Texas fan until shottzy as I’m from cali he really changed the game without him I doubt optic would of beat faze as they were on a on and off losing streak at the time
Looks like Doug is out of a house…👀
thats what i thought ahahaha
Nameless, Aches, Doug... all their opinions are only there to appeal to recency bias and are forever invalid asf
Doug should be outta lotta things by now with his ridiculous takes 😂
@@thefbi8082he's outta a brain
Aches is rolling his eyes right now lol
No pat slander over here tho we love patty caches
@@Richie1dano we don’t guy is a weirdo😂
He's the absolute movement King! 🙌🏻💯✨👌🏻
7:50 I fear Shotzzy still doesn’t say anything but Optic has still won 😂😂
He doesn’t call out a lot. Minimum
Bro really went from 8/32 debut to mvp in the first season, insane
Half of the people that are talking bad about shottzy would never chall him 😂😂
Good for you dude Shootzzy! keep slaying in COD universe..
I can't wait to watch Ant on BO6 with that movement
And now he’s a COD WORLD CHAMP & THE MVP OF IT. SUPERSTAR for all them haters
i still don't get why Aches hates on shotzzy
cause shotzzy beat aches in bo2(aches best game) on LAN ez 😂😂😂
He doesn’t he just likes to troll optic fans
Dallas Empire still the best franchise in the CDL era
Lmao. Not
Lando and Nameless having to eat their words... priceless 😂😂😂
Shotzzy is best player in the world
Delusional
Hydra clearly is the best player in the world and everyone knows it except you apparently
@@EemMiIiLlLl ignorant people like you try and speak for people when in reality you are insignificant…. Shotzzy is the best in the world imo , nothing to do with delusion just my opinion…. Too bad for you I don’t care about yours…
@@EemMiIiLlLlHahhahaa bullshit!!! You have no idea😂 Shotzzy is the best in the league by far! Much better than hydra! You are 100% a Bot in the game!! Go play fortnite!!!
Amazing video didn’t watch his career but what amazing perseverance from this kid
Superstar
If I'm not mistaken...Syndicate had that title of breaking cod first. Yes it was through Zombies... but that's still his achievement 💯
pay up doug
doug is homeless chill out 😂
What a time to be alive and be an OpTic fan.💚
Fyi, Shotzzy tells stories that Halo is what got him into gaming and esports even before he competed. I believe he had an older relative that got him into it. As usual, Halo is where all the best console FPS players come from. 😝
yeah because the old halo games were better competitively than cod. Now everyone knows halo is utter trash with no comp scene support, so those players switch to a superior game
Huke is such a legend for making this happend and starting it.
Aches is lame ash
fr though shoutout to Frankie for sticking up for shotzzy in that interview in London. Absolutely goated post game interviewer
im not a heavely watcher of these comp games....but after watching t his...SHOTZZY deserved this CHAMPIONSHIP man.
Shotzzy being bad with words sometimes yet a genius in game just adds to the lore tbh
Nameless saying Shottzy not ready u til the next year just for Shotzzy to win champs that same year🤣🤣🤣
This kid's actually incredible man. How can you not see it!
Good work on this one again🤝🏽
plss do one for pred! I feel like his CW/MW19 background, and where he grew up/started isnt known at all! It would be so interesting
You should have shown the reverse sweep at champs on mw3, it was a defining moment for him i feel like
Wowwww. What a video. Fantastic content, thank you. Superstar, end of....
Shotzzy almost had the same gaming path as Formal 💪🏼
I’m not gonna lie bro… this was beautiful, the outro along with the instrumental almost brought a tear to my eye 33:20
When it’s all said and done shotzyy might have the greatest legacy/ story in all of cod. I mean seriously who comes into the league going 8-30 then to winning champs in the same szn. Kids the 🐐and his journey is far from over.
4 words. Black Ops 6 Shottzy. This may be the greatest display of talent in CoD history if he does what i think he is going to do.
Especially with the new movement being added, I don’t play cod anymore but I want to see what he manages to do
Is that voice the guy from that
F1 news page?
yeah 😂
im a faze fan and i like this guy. when he's not performing, eh he aight. but when this guy plays lights out, he is god like in the map
Shotzzy had omnimovement before omnimovement was a thing
The best player to touch Competitive CoD by a mile!!
