Had to come back and watch this after COD Champs 2019 and the last stand of Optic, genuinely been a part of my life for years and this was such a fun time during that period
Thanks everyone for the support on this video! I can hopefully make a montage on OpTic Nation at G3 when they upload the Vod's but would you like to see me make montages of other teams and if so who? I was thinking maybe an nV montage since they won G3, let me know!
Damn, Almost 300,000K views and 4K likes, I really appreciate everyone who watched this video! If you enjoyed be sure to check out my other videos, subscribe or even follow me on twitter @iSteveJC, Thank you all so much!
This montage is awesome, music is artfully done and goes in snyc with so many of the clips. Hands off to you great job, I never get tired of watching this lol.
Great Montage... I didn't watch the MLG Championships but i gotta say that I love how there is music in the background but you can still hear the commentators do their thing.
Still nostalgic as fuck, I just thought about the good days with the boys trying to be as good as these guys back in jr high and HighSchool. Good times!
Man, I'm tired of everyone saying Cod isn't competitive. I look at MLG the same way some people look at NBA or NFL. Just because I don't like Football, does that mean it is not competitive? Everyone likes different things, people need to understand that!
I never loved a team as much as I loved this one. Fuck, i miss those days. 2017 and still watching your amazing montage Steve, thank you so much for your amazing contents.
Ghost is one of my favorite CoDs and this Optic roster brings back so much nostalgia, ghost was a big piece of CoD history.❤️ This was a Dream Team. Amazing chemistry between all of them.
To all those people that say that why are people getting so hyped over a video game and how this game is considered competitive, you're delusional. Sports are competitive. Athletes train almost everyday with a few breaks in between. They compete for money, for a trophy, and for pride. They get so hyped and excited when they win the championship. It's the same exact thing in competitive Call of Duty. They all train, compete for something, and they obviously get really hyped when winning a championship or moving to the next round just like in physical sports. E-sports is a real sport. The only difference is the physical aspect. Rather than training physically, competitive Call of Duty players train in-game to improve in-game smarts, etc. It really irritates me when I go back and watch OpTic Gaming highlights or whatever and I see hate comments hating on the atmosphere and competitive aspect of Call of Duty. It is part of their lives. OpTic NaDeSHoT has gotten so successful from, guess what....yes, competitive Call of Duty. He has a BMW, a huge house where he lives with his teammates or should I say most of his teammates to gain more chemistry, and overall he's very successful and popular. He started off in McDonald's with no straight path in his life. He was playing Call of Duty since his parent's got him a Xbox 360; when he was about 13/14. He kept 'grinding' the game during his hard days in McDonald's. He sold his laptop and saved up enough money from McDonald's to buy a PC for streaming on Twitch and making UA-cam content. His first years weren't very exciting and he thought of going back to working in McDonald's, until he got a chance to play in a tournament called COD XP with a $1 million prize pool. He kept practicing to become a smarter and more skillful player. He, fortunately won the tournament and took $100,000 from the $400,000 awarded to his team. He quickly caught an eye to many other competitive Call of Duty players and fans. He got sponsors very quickly such as RedBull. He got a lot of money from streaming, but soon MLG (Major League Gaming) offered him an exclusive spot to stream on their website. This would enable him to get more money and be part of a working team to improve MLG streaming. He took the offer, but not only for the money, also for the chances to improve MLG streaming to give his fans a more comfortable website to watch his streams on. To this day, he has been the most famous and most successful competitive Call of Duty player to ever live. I know they went to a little biography, but I just wanted to prove my point that competitive Call of Duty is just like any other sport and that people could find a way to become successful from it. Sorry for the long passage :S.
Muerked Damn that was an essay man! You made some really good points and hopefully people new to the scene will read this before hating, thanks for sharing this! :)
I honestly loved watching this optic gaming team even though they are not as good as the team now on BO4 but this team had that attitude and cockiness in the right way because they backed it up. Makes me hyped
Best montages I've ever seen! I've been returning everyday watching this over and over for the past week! I love this video and your x-games montage! You are gaining a sub for sure and you deserve so many more! Please keep doing this I don't just enjoy watching your videos I love watching them! And thanks for including NadeShots little speech! Over all AMAZING video!
Bro props to you these montages are amazing, i seriously feel you should get into contact with optic and mlg and work out some sort of business agreement in making more of these for them, good work keep it up !!! (:
This just reminded me of how much OpTic choked, don't get me wrong I love them, but this was EG's tournament to win. They clutched up that Octane dom like no other
i remember sitting in my grandparents living room, supposed to be doing math homework, but watching this video instead. i remember watching Clay’s stream on MLG.tv(lmao) and just wanting so badly to go pro like them. i was 15 and these guys helped me forget about the bullshit in my life. I wasn’t good at BO2 or Ghosts when they were out but as soon as i got my hands on AW i started grinding and doing everything i could to learn the ins and outs of competitive cod. all because of this video. (also i will literally smoke every single person in this comment section at BO2, Ghosts, AW, BO3, and MW now, i learned how to play the game lmao.
It is becoming a trend now because of Johnny Manziel and his "Money Manziel" action. Fwiz is a big Manziel fan and he likes the "Money Manziel" and everyone knows that so it has been spreading throughout COD and Proofy knew that
Dang, Scump is a boss, he played spectacular the whole tournament. Proofy plays bad, then he goes off and plays great and kills everyone for a round, then he plays bad again. Nadeshot plays well usually, but he'll have some rounds where he dies early and barely even puts up a fight. Clayster has progressed a ton since this, now he's top 5. In this he was okay. Didn't play great. But he was consistently okay.
Had to come back and watch this after COD Champs 2019 and the last stand of Optic, genuinely been a part of my life for years and this was such a fun time during that period
one of the most memorable optic teams
Izzy Martin Oh 100%, loved that team!
SteveJC they were amazing i didn't miss one game when the played at the x-games,it sucks they got rid of clayster he was a beast
I was 14 when this happened. I’m 20 now crazy memories man.
This montage is what made me love cod and optic. Damn these were the days. 🥺❤️
those were the days
I know right
Thanks everyone for the support on this video! I can hopefully make a montage on OpTic Nation at G3 when they upload the Vod's but would you like to see me make montages of other teams and if so who? I was thinking maybe an nV montage since they won G3, let me know!

This montage is awesome, music is artfully done and goes in snyc with so many of the clips. Hands off to you great job, I never get tired of watching this lol.
Sick video! Props to you for taking the time and effort into making this! Optic played well, I reckon they deserved the win.
Resi Bank They played very well and came very close, thank you!
Great Montage... I didn't watch the MLG Championships but i gotta say that I love how there is music in the background but you can still hear the commentators do their thing.

Man, I'm tired of everyone saying Cod isn't competitive. I look at MLG the same way some people look at NBA or NFL. Just because I don't like Football, does that mean it is not competitive? Everyone likes different things, people need to understand that!
I 100% agree with you!
Ahah what sport is your favourite?
GammaVeyron Learn how to "+" someone pussy.
Nah...
GammaVeyron you favorited your own comment? Sad 😂😂
Finally this video gets the recognition it needs! Nice job, man.
Thanks man!
Glad they added that nadeshot speech at the end. Nade showing why he's the leader.
Quality video. Captured the best moments of Anaheim, perfectly!
Awesome vid man. thanks for making. New optic squad is awesome

All this video needs is air horn solos and bottles of Mt. Dew flying across the screen.
My personal favorite Optic team, so much energy and memories 😢
this is really good, Optic was HYPE! Deserved to win Anaheim, so many great plays
Dkisthebeast Thanks man, they were and probably could have pulled of the win if they won that octane dom!
OpTic is such a good group, all awesome players.
i was 13 here and now i'm 22, such amazing memories
Crazzzy man I’m 22 aswell. Great memories
Amazing montage man! I love it!
I watch at least once a day miss the old optic squad
same
This was my 2014 COD motivation when ever i would play brings back memories 4 years later 💯👌🏽
Seriously, PERFECT montage.Nice choice of music.
Thanks a lot man!
Bro props to you these montages are amazing, i seriously feel you should get into contact with optic and mlg and work out some sort of business agreement in making more of these for them, good work keep it up !!! (:

mannnn this vid brings back so much memories
3 Years later and still amazing
I love this montage man, keep it up after G3.
Best montage i love the new clips at xgames just amazing !
It's really refreshing to see some pro players acting calmly (ok sometimes bursts of joy :-) ), but still....cool video.
The Dream Team on COD
Clayster
ProoFy
Scump
Nadeshot
this gave me the the hardest goosebumps in the world
This gives me chills.. Such a good edit aaaah
Thanks dude!
2022 and still get goosebumps watching this video
Watching in 2023..good times
great video man! Love Optic!
do u have a scuf or cinch controller i can have?
Optic are CoD Legends... This should be taught in history lessons in schools. Especially Scump. He is amazing and my inspiration.
vX Prise Whatch pro cs go see the skill you actually need to get head shots with no aim assist.
seb cho they are a bunch of old/ lifeless boring people with no imagination at all. No intensity at all
vX Prise thank you finally someone understands
Chris The Kid NY 👍
Lmao idiotic CoD fanboy
cant believe its been 10 years
the best montage by far you earned a sub
Thanks!
Hands down best game for comp cod! Most hype over any other game too, was truly the best time in comp cod!
Could someone explain to me what was that ridiculous aim at 1:09 my God this was insane.
OpTic has come a long way. :3
They sure have!
Idc what anyone says this is by far better than the cdl
2018... love all these guys
Oh, I thought this was a mantage parody...
unwow. much disappoint. not enough water. 0/420 --IGN
One of the best optic rosters ever in my opinion
Who’s watching in 2019!!? Nostalgic as fuck 😭
OpTic Gaming deserved to win! they went massive at Anaheim!
1:27 - I'm probably gonna sound like a total noob, but what does that mean? Is that like kind of a humiliating gesture or something?
had to come back to this masterpiece😪🥹
i remember sitting in my grandparents living room, supposed to be doing math homework, but watching this video instead. i remember watching Clay’s stream on MLG.tv(lmao) and just wanting so badly to go pro like them. i was 15 and these guys helped me forget about the bullshit in my life.

(also i will literally smoke every single person in this comment section at BO2, Ghosts, AW, BO3, and MW now, i learned how to play the game lmao.
favorite team of all time
Please make a montage of Optic Nation at Gfinity 3!
Memories 💚
Subbed! Make more videos like this! This is amazing! Great Job man!
Can someone tell me what did Proofy doo in the end of that SnD round versus nV that got the crowd sooo pumped ???
Noo i mean what he did with his hand, is that anything special besides the traditional "Bling Bling" ?
It is becoming a trend now because of Johnny Manziel and his "Money Manziel" action. Fwiz is a big Manziel fan and he likes the "Money Manziel" and everyone knows that so it has been spreading throughout COD and Proofy knew that
Bruno Sousa Its Money-Team
Bruno Sousa 3 fingers for the 3 - 0 they did
Fwiz posted a picture of him doing it on instagram and proofy did that for fwiz
this was my favorite optic team... they were sooooo good
Dang, Scump is a boss, he played spectacular the whole tournament. Proofy plays bad, then he goes off and plays great and kills everyone for a round, then he plays bad again. Nadeshot plays well usually, but he'll have some rounds where he dies early and barely even puts up a fight. Clayster has progressed a ton since this, now he's top 5. In this he was okay. Didn't play great. But he was consistently okay.
This team will forever be my favorite optic team!! Clay baby and ProofGod I miss them on optic
idk why but this made me so happy!
Luiee HD Thanks bro, I love seeing comments like this!
Bro i love ur montage. Keep it up
Thanks brotha!
best montage ever , love ghosts
OG for life baby
This is awesome, you gained a sub! :D
Thanks, I Appreciate it!
I love these. Keep it up :)
1 year ago... Time flies
I wish I was in optic it seems to be so fun and supporting and extremely intense when playing like that
remember these days man🥺🥺
Loved this amazing video of yours... I wish mine were this good haha. Keep up the good work!
