Unreal, I subscribed to you at the beginning of black ops 2, and I saw you rise from around 100,000 to 900,000 in just one year. That just shows how much work and dedication you put into your videos, and I really enjoy watching them and your livestream everyday. Thanks for entertaining us for this long bro, hope the Green Wall stays strong for the ghosts season! :)
DeadlyCreatorYT ''Unreal, I subscribed to you at the beginning of black ops 2, and I saw you rise from around 100,000 to 900,000 in just one year. '' yes you did....
Nade is one of the only youtubers i know that truly truly truly cares about his fans. I respect him for that. I check my youtube every night and every morning to see if he posted yet.... Keep up the great work!
I love how you have changed over the last few years. You have matured so much and your videos are fun to watch. Keep enjoying the ride and making bank!
You talk about how much we changed your life, but you have impacted ours too Matt. I want to thank you for persevering and making it big on UA-cam. The entertainment value, and personal connection you provide through your videos is an inspiration, and helps many people including myself when things aren't going right all the time. I know I can count on a cool video by Chyaboii to uplift my spirits, and put me in that right mindset. Keep on doing what you're doing Nade. One Million will come real quick, and you can count on me to be here when you reach that goal.
love you nade this video almost brought tears to my eyes and dont worry bro ill like every one of your videos and trust me lol i know how much it means :P
Nadeshot, we can't even thank you enough for your inspiration to us to get into competitive call if duty and UA-cam, needless to say you've changed all of our lives as well
I think you should do a charity stream for one million subs. You should do a 24 hour livestream where you play with other youtubers and the boys from optic. Just try and get Syndicate, Seananners, Ali-A, and other youtubers on long livestream to raise money for a charity of some sort. I think that would be a really good thing to do for one million subs. It does never really get old hearing you say "Thank You" it just lets us know that you care about your fans and that constant reminder is a really good thing.
Matt I've been watching you since you had 100 subs, and still do today your cod videos with wiz and how you voice was so weird back than has changed me and wahat I want to do, man you really are a true inspiration!
Nadeshot I've only been around since 800, 00 subs but man your entertaining...I've got Optics back at each tournament...when you guys lose at events its like my home town sports team loses it stings...hope u guys have a great season with ghost and win COD championships...keep doin what you do.....well see you fudgen later!
bet you hit 1mil by christmas! congrats nade, been a fan for about 2 years now and i love your videos, you're a huge inspiration to me and i've started playing call of duty better since i started watching.. you deserve all the likes and stuff you get, congrats again man!
Who cares he srote it down on a piece of paper it is cool that he even put that much time into it from writing the cards and making the video love you nade and fuck the haters
You keep thanking us, but I think it's about time for us to thank you. You put in countless hours making videos for us not to mention how busy you must be with circuit. So on behalf of all your subscribers, Thank you! See ya fudgin later.
All the best bro, I've been along for the journey for a while. Thanks for all the content you put up. You inspired me to start competitive gaming and I'm so grateful. Would love the Anaheim scuf just coz it's yours
Brother, you have been in the lows and the highs. All you need was something that is hard to take ownership of: Tenacity. I recently caught up with OpTicJ, and I remember how he was in high school. Always a hard worker and never let anything keep him down. You have that same tenacity he had even before he became OpTicJ. You deserve it brother and 1mil is going to be HUGE! I am shooting a documentary I want you to be in so keep in doing what you're doing and I hope our paths cross soon!
So humble. I used to watch Whiteboy7thst but he kind of got a big head. Nadeshot and all the other optic guys are so humble and you can really tell that they appreciate their subscribers for everything they have. #Nadeshot #Nadeshotonemillion
Nade, you got us as a community interested into Call of Duty, you brought the viewers to competitive. You deserve everything you get. Call of Duty: Ghosts (Sniping/Camping/Quickscoping/Choking/
Hey Nade! I´m a huge fan from Argentina, I started watchin your videos when I was loking for some competitive gameplay after I watched the $1.000.000 CoD championship live at my Xbox, since then I fell in love with competitive CoD, I even started a competitive gaming "organization" and found that there was a real argentinian company out there that had a few teams, I made competitive kind of popular here in Argentina I actually have a clan, I´ve learn eerything I know from the optic streams and YouTUbe videos, It would mean a LOT if I could get that Scuf, It would really really mean a lot to me, though I never win anything, but Thanks Anyways :)
I've been here since 300,000 and I have to say that you're a great youtube and your the one who inspired me to get into competitive CoD! Thnx SOOOOOO MUCH NADESHOT!

It's been such a journey for me Nade watching your channel grow, I may not have been subbed from the beginning but it has been amazing to have been around your channel & having watched you for so long from the help of your videos I am a much stronger COD player now than I was originally and can't thank you enough bro! xD
Congratulation Matt mate you truly deserve it and you do give back to use by providing some of the best content for us all to watch on UA-cam well done mate and congrats again
You're awesome man. Conversely, i don't think you fathom the impact that you have had on all of your viewers/fan's lives. Keep up the great work and keep inspiring.
Love your videos so much, Nade! You are my favorite personality in the community. You are my favorite youtuber. You are my favorite cod player. You were the one who introduced me to competitive cod. Love ya, man! Now go get a million!
So humble, but you need to give yourself some credit too your the one that is working hard. We all enjoy what you do and we thank you for the entertainment. Thank YOU and congratulations and many more to come. Green Wall.
Keep up the awesome work Matt, I remember just last month your 800k video! You'll get 1mil in no time. Day in and day out, i enjoy watching your streams and videos so Thank You! :)
It's been great to see you not only grow as a pro gamer, but as a person too. From that lil big talker nadeshot to the respectful kind person you are today. Keep up the great work bro.
Yo nade. Im 25 and honestly u opened my eyes to competitive COD. Thx for trailblazing this and paving the way for the rest of us. Much respect always a fan
Nade you are awesome, I want to thank you for making all these videos and taking the time to make the videos and streaming! I honestly think that you are amazing and just thank you!
Optic nadeshot bang bang ive been on ur channel since u started one back then and im still with u and im proud of u and i just want u to know that u are a good guy and u are one of the best cod players ive seen go through time. Just want u to know that.
You should drag predator back into gaming man. When you and him did "snipers goin ham" and other series together those were some of my favorite videos back in the day. Just to show; if you have the skill, you CAN be reasonably successful on gb with snipers was great. Gave me motivation to do it in MW3 and went around 15-0 before we started losing to decent teams. Congrats on the milestone though, here's to the big MILLION coming up!
This inspired me to go pro and start making more videos more often. I am just starting out just like you did small and now I am trying to get my name out there. Everyday I watch your videos and they are very enjoyable. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Will always be one of my favorite competitive pro players. Saw your stream once long ago, and I've been hooked since then. Congratulations on 900,000 Matt! :)
Keep up the great work! I look forward to watching you daily on UA-cam and twitch and also reading your tweets. Can't wait for the million vid!! You deserve all the credit in the world
Hey man you're one of the most down to earth humble gamers/youtubers i've followed. I support everything you've been doing on the youtube community and your competitive game play! Keep it up my dude!
A lot of people are fake and are just in it for the scuf, but then you have true subscribers who actually enjoy your videos and have love you for who you've became over your milestones that only us the subs can help you achieve. Without support from others and the fact that you haven't gave up is something to be proud of. Matt you're a inspiration to people to believe they can end up where you are today. Congrats Nadeshot you deserve it. It wouldn't matter to me if I win a scuf or not I would still be there to support you're video and goals everyday, Any scuf would be amazing to have I don't care which though:)
Nade yur the best one out there your the only one who will take time out of his/her day to thank us when is should be vice versa but thanks for all you've done for the youtube community

Nade you're one of my favourite youtubers just because you're so down to earth and have so much integrity. Keep up the good work!
