Nadeshot teases the idea of signing the OpTic CoD roster for 100 Thieves

Matt ‘Nadeshot’ Haag is one of the true gaming legends. He found his fame under the OpTic name while playing Call of Duty, and represented them for years, through multiple titles and all over the world. When he announced his retirement, he continued to stream for OpTic and is still buddies with many of the OpTic members today. He is OpTic through and through, and neither he nor the organisation would be as big as they are without each other. But when he’s asked if he’d consider recruiting the current OpTic roster of Seth ‘Scump’ Abner, Damon ‘Karma’ Barlow, Ian ‘Crimsix’ Porter and Matthew ‘Formal’ Piper, his response was an interesting one. See the clip below for yourselves.

“You want us to sign Scump’s team? Scump, Crimsix, Formal and… and uhh Karma? That’s an interesting idea, I’ll tell you that much,” was Nadeshot’s response before going on to more donations. Now while it’s far from a guarantee that 100 Thieves would consider attempting to sign the roster, or even jump back into the Call of Duty professional scene, it shows that Nadeshot would at least entertain the idea, to the point of potentially considering it.

OpTic Gaming haven’t been performing too hot as of late in the Call of Duty: WWII pro season, placing fourth at CWL Birmingham where Luminosity Gaming took home the trophy, and only placing top six at the previous event in Atlanta. Two placements that seem impressive to most teams, but for a team of OpTic’s stature and experience, they weren’t happy. Perhaps they need a change in organisation to get the fire back that they know they possess? Could Nadeshot and 100 Thieves be the organisation to send them back to the top?

/u/mrchubbelwubbel said on Reddit that it would be “awesome” if it happened. “A lot of the fanbase was with Nade, and if OG is under his wing the Call of Duty fanbase would grow immensely. Think about it. Like really.” /u/Keyann on the other hand disagreed, saying that “It’d be better for CoD if 100T and OpTic co-existed.”

We're thrilled to announce our participation in the North American @ClashRoyale League. This is the first of several esports titles we plan on expanding into this year.

This all comes very shortly after 100 Thieves confirmed via Twitter they’d be expanding into the recently announced Clash Royale league, with more esports to follow. One can only assume Call of Duty will be one of them given Nadeshot’s esports upbringing, but time will tell. 100 Thieves are proving very successful in League of Legends right now, recently taking down Clutch Gaming in a game that lasted over an hour.
