    @SandslashPWNS 10 років тому +32

    Looking at your gaming history, it seems to me that you pick up games so quickly. You were a relatively new Halo pro that saw success and one of the newest CoD pros that is obviously seeing success. That's insane to think about man!

    • @Live2RisePC
      @Live2RisePC 10 років тому +1

      COD is an easy game to pick up though.

  • @platy-3979

  • @Looch1717
    @Looch1717 10 років тому +1

    As sad as it is not getting to watch you play Halo anymore its still really cool to see you thrive in Cod.
    You have the makings of becoming one of, if not the, most accomplished console fps player ever.
    Just gotta keep it going.

  • @Rondez
    @Rondez 10 років тому +23

    Great work. Hope to see you uploading consistently bro, I also came from Halo around the same time you did.

  • @zLukeePs3
    @zLukeePs3 8 років тому +3

    Just came back to watch this video, its incredible to see how far you've come in the COD scene. In my opinion the best AR to ever touch the game, and not to mention the fact that Formal is now the 6th most winningest player of all time!

  • @102WOLFPACK
    @102WOLFPACK 10 років тому +19

    What has surprised you the most about joining OG, whether it's the support from the fans or an aspect about one of your teammates you didn't know about before teaming with them? How was your time at the Optic House

    • @whydouneedakno
      @whydouneedakno 10 років тому +1

      Hahaha at the support from the fans, u mean the fake fans who just hated him 2 months ago...

    • @102WOLFPACK
      @102WOLFPACK 10 років тому +2

      ***** It's support nonetheless.

  • @tylervassar7723
    @tylervassar7723 10 років тому

    I became a fan when you joined FaZe. I thought your background was so cool because of your halo career. I'm glad you're on OpTic and I hope you stay for a while! Much love !

  • @KingdomSoldier
    @KingdomSoldier 10 років тому +10

  • @frenzy19_77
    @frenzy19_77 7 років тому

    I appreciate this video Matt, keep making videos you're the reason why I play comp and want to strive for more. Keep grinding to get to the top and it'll pay off.

  • @DeadlyCreatorYT
    @DeadlyCreatorYT 10 років тому +11

    Is being on OpTic the highlight of your CoD career so far?
    And awesome video formal :)

  • @jbake5022
    @jbake5022 10 років тому

    always great to see a back story of peoples careers and how they came up. Loved the video, you should encourage some of the other members of OG to do something similar.

  • @SpriteyyFPS
    @SpriteyyFPS 10 років тому +1

    How do you think yourself and OpTic Gaming will perform in the next LAN? And do you regret not coming into COD scene earlier because of how successful Black Ops 2 was? (Q&A)
    Btw, you're probably one of the best COD pros at this point, especially since how fast you've transitioned over for Halo, it's actually crazy how well you've done! Can't wait to see more of your videos

  • @hulky20
    @hulky20 10 років тому +36

    Dear Matthew
    At night, I often dream about what it would be like to be alone with you on a moonlit night high atop a mountain where the stars and moon would be the only light visible. Sometimes I catch myself gazing into your eyes and feeling a sudle peace only experienced by Tibetan Monks during meditation. Your existence is my ecstasy. P.S no homo

  • @TheDavidGow
    @TheDavidGow 10 років тому

    Just wanted to say I've supported you ever since your first Reach event till now! Love you brother, can't stand watching CoD as much but it's just you as a person who makes me want to get into it... Both you and Mike :) Happy Holidays. Keep doing you

  • @charliebuckett8178

  • @JamesTechProductions
    @JamesTechProductions 10 років тому +2

    Great video formal, very professionally done.
    QnA question: the most savage person on the team?

  • @ActivatedProductions13
    @ActivatedProductions13 10 років тому +5

    What I got from this. Is that formal got a lucky pass to be on a pro team. When others are struggling. To get to that point. But then again he's a god.

  • @AzvyHD
    @AzvyHD 10 років тому

    FormaL is a really nice guy, he added me on League of Legends which was really cool. I appreciate it FormaL! I hope you win UMG Orlando!

  • @nuptup1193
    @nuptup1193 10 років тому +7

    Do you feel that you could,as you did with halo to cod , transition from cod to another esport and if so what esport would that be?

    • @ultimateENIGMA212
      @ultimateENIGMA212 10 років тому +2

      ***** LoL is waaay to different. No-one can transition from a FPS pro to a Moba pro. Plus Lol takes a lot more skill and time to become a pro.

    • @ultimateENIGMA212
      @ultimateENIGMA212 10 років тому

      ***** Smite is a new moba though. The skill gap is still very slim. Lol and Dota for example have been out for years and the pros are on a ridiculously new level.

    • @ultimateENIGMA212
      @ultimateENIGMA212 10 років тому

      ***** Who was the cod pro?

    • @ultimateENIGMA212
      @ultimateENIGMA212 10 років тому +2

      ***** Platinum is extremely mediocre. Its not even considered high elo. Pro would be challanger. So this guy is two elo's away.

    • @ultimateENIGMA212
      @ultimateENIGMA212 10 років тому

      ***** yeah no problem. Basically his rank in league if it was a similar system would be around Gold nova master. So slightly above average.

  • @xliquidc00lx
    @xliquidc00lx 10 років тому

    You seem like such a cool person, and I think that contributes a lot to your success. I feel like it makes people want you to succeed, instead of hoping you fall on your face. Best of luck to you.

  • @C0ACHMAYNE

  • @TheBiLLyH1996
    @TheBiLLyH1996 10 років тому

    Questions!
    Favourite team mate in Halo?
    Will you compete in Halo alongside COD?
    If you could assemble a Halo god squad to team with you, who would it be?
    If you could pick three COD pros to team with in Halo who would you pick?
    What Halo pros could succeed in COD that haven't made the transition?
    Best team mates in COD and who would you like to team with in the future?
    Life after gaming?
    Favourite cereal?
    If you had to change your name what would you change it to?
    Favourite film?
    Favourite musical artist?
    Figure you will get a lot of COD questions so I would like to hear a bit more about Halo and some other random things.

  • @Furin1521
    @Furin1521 10 років тому +1

  • @KrashyTV
    @KrashyTV 10 років тому

    so my question is a bit random.
    Q: did you ever follow the pro Gears of War scene? if so what did you think of it? How would you feel if it made a comeback as a major esports. Being 3rd person 4v4 with fast gameplay was always something i loved in old days of MLG

  • @JustCrusader
    @JustCrusader 10 років тому +2

    Great vid! If you think of other topics about yourself to talk about, go ahead and do it. When I first started watching competitive CoD, I became an OpTic fan fairly quickly, and I believe a big part of this is they are one of the few teams in competitive CoD with players that post to youtube and explain their past, stories, etc. when they're first starting on youtube, allowing people to attatch to a personality of a player very, very quickly and easily, which, in turn, builds a fanbase for the player, and often times, the team. Nadeshot and Scump are great examples of this.

    Q&A: I know you played at a halo event recently as well, my question is. Do you ever see any situation in which you would switch back to halo? Like what would have to take place to leave COD? And side question that ties in, which do you enjoy competing in more. Halo or COD? Thanks!
