Nate Diaz hits back at “dumbass” Jake Paul with offer for rematch YouTube: Jake Paul/ID BoxingNate Diaz has hit back at Jake Paul’s claim that he’s making “outrageous” claims and asks for another fight, with the UFC legend putting it out there that they could fight on New Year’s Eve. After defeating Deji and Nate Robinson early on, Jake Paul’s boxing record has been stacked with fights against former mixed martial artists. The ‘Problem Child’ has two wins over Tyron Woodley, as well as a win over Nate Diaz and Ben Askren. Jake’s win over Diaz was his most recent conquest inside the boxing ring, after he picked up a unanimous decision victory back in August. Since then, there has been talk that the pair could rematch but, this time, inside the MMA cage. There doesn’t appear to be any progress made on that front, and reports have surfaced about Jake being involved in “very preliminary talks” with other opponents. However, it appears that Nate still has some appetite to go again – at least in the boxing ring. Nate Diaz blasts “dumbass” Jake Paul over rematch claims During Jake’s recent appearance on the NELK Boys’ FULL SEND podcast, he claimed that Nate had been making “outrageous” claims during negotiations for a fight – and that he was eager to meet the UFC legend inside a cage. Nate, though, doesn’t quite agree with that retelling of things. “You’re full of s*it, I didn’t ask for s*it,” he tweeted on October 9. “I’ll fight you tomorrow in MMA, the problem is you suck and I don’t work for p*ssyFL dumbass, you do. “Rematch is in boxing, trilogy is in MMA. You need time to train anyway, you suck. New Year’s Eve is good.” As has been noted, Jake’s previous offer of one boxing match and one MMA fight came as he signed a deal to join PFL. However, Nate has been adamant he won’t fight inside a PFL cage and would only do it for the UFC. Given Jake’s feud with Dana White, that’s probably never going to happen, but at least we might see them together in a boxing ring again.

Nate Diaz called out for “weaseling out” of $15m MMA fight with Jake Paul – Dexerto
Nate Diaz called out for “weaseling out” of $15m MMA fight with Jake Paul YouTube: In Depth/Instagram: Nate DiazNate Diaz has been accused of “weaseling out” of his MMA fight with Jake Paul, as PFL founder Donn Davis said it could be worth around $15m to the former UFC star. Just before he and Nate Diaz initially signed on to fight each other in the boxing ring, Jake Paul confirmed that he had signed a multi-year deal with PFL to make his MMA debut with them. The YouTuber-turned-boxer then offered Diaz a two-fight deal – with the first coming in boxing, before a rematch under MMA rules, something the former UFC star would be familiar with. Diaz initially stated that he’d be up for it, however, he changed tact after fight night. Jake went on to defeat Nate by unanimous decision, and while he’s agreed to fight an unnamed opponent in his return to the ring on December 15, he’s continued calling Diaz out for an MMA clash. PFL boss calls out Nate Diaz for “weaseling out” of Jake Paul fight Now, PFL founder Donn Davis has jumped on those callouts, taking a dig at Nate during a recent appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. Davis accused Diaz of “weaseling out” of fighting Jake and stated that a fight like that could be staged somewhere like the massive MSG Sphere in Las Vegas, and be Nate’s biggest payday by some distance. “I respect Nate, he’s the people’s champ, he’s a mans man, he’s stand-up as all stand-up, but he said he’d do it in a PFL SmartCage to you two minutes to you (Ariel) after the fight. He’s got a standing offer between $10-15 million and he’s hiding behind a rock,” Davis said. Timestamp of 12:13 The PFL founder was pressed on whether or not he was confident the fight would happen and just reiterated the $10-15 million figure as the “biggest payday” that Nate could get. Diaz has previously stated he’d like to return to the UFC to make the fight happen, but that’s unlikely to ever happen given Jake’s rivalry with Dana White.

Nate Diaz calls out Logan Paul over Jake vs Fury trash talk – Dexerto
Nate Diaz calls out Logan Paul over Jake vs Fury trash talk YouTube: IMPAULSIVE, ESPN MMAMMA star Nate Diaz is giving Logan Paul a verbal thrashing over Twitter after the YouTuber trash talked Tommy Fury and his team during his fight with Jake Paul over the weekend. Tommy Fury defeated Jake Paul by split decision at their long awaited bout on Sunday, February 26, marking an end to the American YouTuber’s undefeated win streak. Since then, a slew of trash talk has emerged on the net, with names like KSI seeming to openly challenge Tommy Fury for a turn in the ring ahead of his eventual rematch with Jake later this year. Even mixed martial artist Nate Diaz is getting in on the hullabaloo — but he’s calling out someone who wasn’t throwing punches over the weekend. Instead, he’s taking aim at Logan Paul, who adamantly defended his little bro while he was trading blows with Fury. In fact, Logan was passed a microphone in the middle of the bout, after which he proceeded to sling insults toward the Fury camp. “Tommy, if you can hear me, you a b*tch bro, you’re gassing out,” Paul shouted. “You a b(tch, and the whole Fury family a b*tch. “ Nate Diaz slams Logan Paul for mid-fight trash talk Diaz didn’t seem to take too kindly to this sort of trash talk mid-fight and posted his thoughts about the subject to Twitter, saying that Logan needs to get a taste of his own medicine. “This guy needs his a** beat,” Diaz wrote. “And who let the spoiled lil b*tch yell obnoxious shit during the fight?” This is far from the first time Diaz has called out the Paul bros; in fact, Jake raised the possibility of a fight with the mixed martial artist after signing with the PFL earlier this year. Diaz himself has made no bones about his distaste for the Paul family, notably calling the crew “sh*theads” after meeting their father in January. For now, it’s not clear if Diaz will take on either of the Paul bros in the octagon… but it’s definitely looking more and more likely as time goes on.

Nate Diaz addresses possibility of Logan Paul fight after brawl with YouTuber’s lookalike – Dexerto
Nate Diaz addresses possibility of Logan Paul fight after brawl with YouTuber’s lookalike YouTube: DAZN Boxing, Logan PaulUFC star Nate Diaz addressed the possibility of taking a fight with Logan Paul after brawling with the YouTuber’s lookalike in the street last month. Nate Diaz is currently preparing for his August 5 boxing match against YouTuber-turned-fighter Jake Paul, marking the mixed martial artist’s first foray into the boxing ring. However, the ‘Problem Child’ isn’t the only Paul brother on Diaz’s radar. Diaz notably got into a street brawl with Logan Paul’s viral lookalike, Rodney Peterson, in April, putting him into a chokehold before walking away from the altercation in a clip that took over social media. That’s not all; Diaz also had some harsh words for Logan after the ‘Maverick’ openly talked trash on Tommy Fury and his camp during his bout against Jake earlier this year. In his response to the incident, Diaz claimed that Logan “needs his a** beat” and called him a “spoiled lil b*tch” who “yell[ed] obnoxious shit during the fight.” Diaz was notably asked about his reaction to Logan’s trash-talk during a press conference for his bout against Jake Paul on May 9, with combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani testing the waters to see if a potential bout between Logan and Nate is a possibility. Nate Diaz open to possible bout with Logan Paul after Jake Paul fight “Is there a dream scenario here where you fight Jake, and then later in the year, you fight Logan, and you knock both of them off?” Helwani asked. “Yeah, I think it was just a little [line], it was nothing personal,” Diaz explained. “I thought, in any show, what the f*ck is someone yelling out like that in the middle of the fight?” “But yeah, Logan is doing great also. And if he continues on, I’m gonna be continuing on, so if we meet, we meet. If not, it’s all good, too.” (Topic begins at 1:01:12) For now, Logan Paul appears to be focusing on his performance in the WWE — but there’s no telling if he’ll step back into the boxing ring should Nate Diaz give him a call.

Nate Diaz brushes off Jake Paul fight with sights now set on Logan Paul instead – Dexerto
Nate Diaz brushes off Jake Paul fight with sights now set on Logan Paul instead Instagram: natediaz209 / Instagram: loganpaulAlthough early negotiations reportedly had Jake Paul in line to box Nate Diaz, the target appears to have switched as the MMA icon has now threatened to “beat” Logan Paul instead. The Paul brothers and the Diaz brothers have been teasing some form of combat sports clash for months at this stage. What began as rumors of a ‘brother vs brother’ event soon led to an alleged agreement of a Jake vs Nate boxing PPV. Nothing has yet come to fruition, however. Since these early rumblings, the YouTube celebs and MMA legends have continued to cross paths. Whether it’s faceoffs at various open workouts or Nate leaving Jake’s latest fight early, there’s been a “reason” for these teasers over the past few months, according to the younger Paul brother. It could all be building to a future showdown. While previous comments linked Jake to the Nate fight, the focus may have just changed. The UFC veteran could now be eyeing a boxing match with Logan instead, after certain comments on The MMA Hour caught his attention. When asked who Logan would like to see Jake fight next, two names came to mind. “I’d love to see him fight Nate Diaz and then eventually, Conor McGregor,” he told Ariel Helwani. “I think that’d be such a cool fight.” McGregor has been called out plenty of times by the Paul brothers of late, but this is the first time Diaz has been brought back into the fold since 2021. Naturally, this idea didn’t sit well with the Stockton icon. Rather than addressing the long-rumored clash with Jake, Diaz instead turned his attention to Logan. “Logan, how about I beat your ass instead for doing that to your brother,” he said on Twitter. Obviously, it’s all just talk for now given his current contract with the UFC, but it’s clear Diaz is still eager to throw his trademark slap at either Paul brother. Logan how about I beat ur ass instead For doin that to ur brotherhttps://t.co/wKFs0APtgi— Nathan Diaz (@NateDiaz209) March 2, 2022 While Jake responded questioning if Nate’s comments were “sus,” Logan is yet to address the reignited beef. For the time being, it’s likely his full attention is focused on the first wrestling match of his career as Logan prepares for WrestleMania 38. Read More: Prime Hydration review – There’s no doubt we’ll see the Diaz and Paul brothers butting heads for months to come, however. Without an opponent locked in for Jake’s next boxing event, there’s always a slight chance we see this feud come to blows sooner than later.

Natasha Bedingfield reacts to her song going viral in new TikTok trend – Dexerto
Natasha Bedingfield reacts to her song going viral in new TikTok trend Instagram: Natasha BedingfieldThe latest viral dance trend to sweep TikTok might sound familiar to noughties pop fans, as the soundtrack is actually the remix of a song by British popstar Natasha Bedingfield. Nearly every day, unexpected songs and remixes end up blowing up on TikTok in the form of dances and challenges, but a lot of people might find this particular trend especially nostalgic. This is because the soundtrack of the latest viral TikTok dance is actually a remix of Natasha Bedingfield’s 2004 hit, ‘The Unwritten’. The cheesy, uplifting pop hit was a staple in everyone’s lives growing up in the early 2000s, and it looks like TikTokers are paying homage to the track in the best way they know how. With the song being given a 2021 remix, the sound, which is called ‘Esco Like Yhop ft. Shawn P’, was uploaded by TikTok user Esco Up, has featured in over 500k TikTok videos to date. The dance swept the app throughout March, but really started to blow up when big names like Noah Beck, the D’Amelio sisters and Gordon Ramsey joined in on the trend, with their videos amassing 16.5 and 42.1 million views respectively. How do you do the ‘Natasha Bedingfield Dance’? While TikTok user Esco Up, who uploaded the remix, was the first TikToker to dance to this version of the song, a lot of TikTokers are following the dance routine formulated by TikTok dance troupe ‘gleefuljhits’. In their version of the dance, which has amassed 21.3 million views, people danced across the screen in a single-file line while swinging their arms before backing up and dancing across the screen for a second time, this time with their underwear showing. The dance routine has since been referred to as the ‘Natasha Bedingfield Dance’. Natasha Bedingfield responds to the trend Now that she has a dance named after her, Bedingfield was quick to respond by duetting with the masked dance troupe, trying out the popular dance for herself in a video that, to date, has amassed 3.7 million views. Praising ‘gleefuljhits’ on TikTok, she said to them that she “love love loves the dance you did!” Reposting the TikTok onto Instagram, Bedingfield expanded on how much the dance trend needed to her. “The essence of Unwritten is about how wonderful, unexpected things can happen at any moment, and these TikTok dances I keep seeing recently couldn’t be more wonderful and unexpected,” she said in the Instagram caption. Tagging the original song’s co-writers, Danielle Brisbois and Wayne Rodrigez, she asked: “Did you ever picture this scene the day we wrote this?” “Thanks to all for this beautiful surprise. It’s all unwritten.”

Nate Diaz accepts Jake Paul’s $10M MMA rematch challenge, but there’s a big catch – Dexerto
Nate Diaz accepts Jake Paul’s $10M MMA rematch challenge, but there’s a big catch YouTube/TheMacLifeUFC veteran Nate Diaz is set to battle Jake Paul in a boxing match this weekend, and he has already accepted a $10M offer for their next bout to be contested in MMA with some contingencies. Jake Paul is looking to bounce back to the top of the influencer boxing power rankings after suffering his first-ever defeat at the hands of Tommy Fury. On Saturday, August 5, Paul will face off against Nate Diaz, having already bested other former UFC talent with knockout victories against Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. However, The Problem Child has been itching to get into MMA and wants to battle Diaz once more after their boxing match, putting $10 million on the line. While Diaz agreed, there was a big catch. Nate Diaz wants to return to UFC for Jake Paul MMA fight Speaking with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Diaz was confident that his next fight would be in MMA and could “probably” return to the UFC. “It will probably either be back in the UFC, or do something like this in an MMA style – or boxing, either one,” he explained. (segment begins at 2:15) When the topic of the $10M offer came up to have an MMA bout in the PFL, Diaz appeared less interested because he has no connection to that company. “I don’t fight for that organization. If we do something, we’re going to do something real,” he said, adding that a co-promotion could be on the table. For the Paul boxing match, Diaz’s company Real Fight Inc is splitting the proceeds with Jake’s Most Valuable Promotions. Jake, meanwhile, was committed to his MMA debut happening in PFL and believes that once he wins in boxing, Diaz will come around because he would want “revenge.” (segment begins at 9:32) “I think he’s leaving it open-ended to see what happens Saturday,” Jake said. “I think he’ll want that get-back and he’ll realize he’s not going to get as much money once he loses to me anywhere else. We’ll have to see what happens on Saturday and if the results influence a potential 2024 MMA rematch between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz.

Natalie Mariduena speechless as her car is accidentally wrecked in David Dobrik vlog YouTube: David DobrikNatalie Mariduena of the Vlog Squad was shocked after the group surprised her by repainting her vintage car, only for it to fall off a tow truck and get damaged. Since David Dobrik returned to regular posting in June after his hiatus following the Vlog Squad controversy, the YouTuber and his popular group of creators have been back to the antics that earn them millions of views on the site. David and the group are known for surprising fans and often each other with expensive gifts, but their latest good deed didn’t quite go to plan. In a vlog uploaded on August 26, David revealed that Jason had decided to surprise Natalie by repainting her vintage, car, but went on to explain that the “problem is we used Jonah’s friend for delivery.” As Jason is busy explaining what exactly they got done to the car, David suddenly starts shouting “oh no,” and the camera pans around just in time to see the car roll off the back end of the truck. Topic starts at 0:33 It hits the ground with a loud crash, and bits can even be seen flying off it. Natalie’s jaw dropped after seeing the damage to the car, and after a period of stunned silence said, “that’s not real. That didn’t just actually happen.” It’s not clear whether or not this was a genuine accident or a prank on Natalie, with some saying they felt the bit was “staged.” In the comments, Jonah claimed the car fell because his friend forgot to lock the tires down, leading some to think the accident was real. Although Natalie looked shocked to see her car roll off the truck, she was able to laugh at the end of all of it at the group’s failed efforts.

Natalie Mariduena defends David Dobrik as “a good person” after sexual assault scandal – Dexerto
Natalie Mariduena defends David Dobrik as “a good person” after sexual assault scandal Instagram: David Dobrike, Natalie NoelNatalie Mariduena defended YouTuber David Dobrik during an appearance on the BFFs podcast, when asked about accusations of Dobrik’s involvement in sexual assault allegations made against Dominykas Zeglaitis, aka Durte Dom. Mariduena holds close ties with Dobrik having grown up together and takes a leadership role within his company. She was asked about the accusations very early on in her appearance in the interview that was published on July 22. Mariduena still describes Dobrik as her “bestie” said she’s “probably the closest person to David” and “know him the best out of anybody.” She described the allegations as “really sh**ty” and said, “it sucks when you see someone who’s actually a good person getting accused of really terrible things.” When asked if she “stood behind him 100%,” she replied immediately saying “yeah he’s my best friend.” Later in the podcast, she described him as “just a normal average dude.” Topic starts at 25:15 In the episode, she continued to defend Dobrik saying “even the shit that went down, it was really about another dude. Another guy did something and David just happened to be there”. When asked about whether it was hard on her, she replied, “of course, anyone who goes through something like that. It’s extremely difficult and there are millions of people saying terrible things about you.” The David Dobrik scandal explained In March 2021, Insider reported that rape allegations had been made by a woman known as “Hannah” during the filming of a Vlog Squad video. Dobrik was the leader of the group of content creators on YouTube with the accusations made against former member Dominykas Zeglaitis. The allegations also included accusations that the girl “Hannah” and her friends were supplied alcohol with “Hannah” despite being under the legal drinking age of 21. “Hannah” said she became intoxicated as a result. “Hannah” also alleged that there was “an environment where it felt like saying ‘no’ was not okay” and alleged that other Vlog Squad members listened outside while “Hannah” and Zeglaitis reportedly had sex. As a result, Dobrik lost 400,000 subscribers, 78,000 followers on Instagram, and over 2.3 million YouTube views. His YouTube account was eventually demonetized and lost sponsorship. Since then, Dobrik has attempted to make a comeback though not all fans are happy with one person confronting the YouTuber and Natalie in a video.

Naruto-running anime kid goes viral after bullying attempt backfires – Dexerto
Naruto-running anime kid goes viral after bullying attempt backfires TwitterA back-flipping, Naruto-running anime fan has gone viral despite the original poster’s attempt to bully the kid. On August 9, a video was posted to Twitter showing a ginger-haired kid “powering up” before running at a wall and performing a backflip. The clip appears to be from a high school of sorts, although the location isn’t clear. Following the flip, the kid, along with another guy in Naruto or Dragon Ball Z-like attire, perform a Kamehameha – the signature move of Dragon Ball’s main protagonist, Goku. In a caption, the uploader wrote: “You weren’t bullied because you watched anime. You were bullied for this.” You weren’t bullied because you watched anime. You were bullied for this pic.twitter.com/Q0dsikKj0g — watch Tensura Slime 💙 (@YuukiHaru21) August 9, 2021 It’s unclear if the user was referring to anime-watchers in general or the kid in particular. Nonetheless, the bullying attempt backfired in a huge way. The video itself isn’t actually new, having been on YouTube since at least 2017, but that didn’t stop it from spreading like wildfire. In just three days, it amassed over 4.8 million views and plenty of comments from fans voicing their support for the anime kid. “That’s more impressive than something to pick on someone over. I don’t know anyone that can backflip off a wall into a hero landing like that,” one user remarked. “See how he landed that flip? Most people couldn’t do that if they tried,” another added. Even the comments from people who found the Kamehameha part a bit cringey still found the backflip to be impressive, eventually causing the original poster to change his tune. “Lemme reiterate, after further inspection that flip was sicko mode,” they admitted. Lemme reiterate, after further inspection that flip was sicko mode pic.twitter.com/Ey68DgizSK — Hitagi 💜 (@YuukiHaru21) August 10, 2021 Despite the backflip getting praise, it’s not like everyone who has ever watched Dragon Ball, Z, GT, Super, Heroes or even Abridged hasn’t tried to perform a Kamehameha of their own just for the heck of it. In the end, it’s nice to see that the internet came together in favor of the kid instead of joining in on the attempt at cyberbullying him over an old video.

Twitch streamer Nadia reveals she “tricked” everyone with viral pool incident – Dexerto
Twitch streamer Nadia reveals she “tricked” everyone with viral pool incident YouTube: NadiaWarzone streamer Nadia went viral after video surfaced of her appearing to defecate in an ice tub, but she has since revealed the whole thing was a prank. Nadia gained popularity – and infamy – with fans through her skill in Warzone. Fan thought she was so good that it was suspicious, leading the community and other famous streamers to weigh in on whether she was a cheater or legit. Fast-forward a couple of years, and now she has reformed into a hybrid IRL streamer. In a September 13 stream, Nadia was sitting in a cold plunge pool when the water started to turn green beside her. People accused her of defecating in the pool, with clips of the incident going viral and amassing over 16 million views – but this is precisely what Nadia wanted. Nadia’s pool “incident” As Nadia readied herself to enter the pool filled with ice cubes, there was a “Three, Two, One” chant, and everyone jumped in. It immediately looked like all of the streamers, including Nadia, were feeling the cold. Some screamed while others gripped the sides of the inflatable pool in visible discomfort. But, to everyone’s apparent dismay, a few seconds later, the water began turning green around Nadia. Everyone else in the pool started to scream and point, as Nadia jumped out of the pool and ran away. Nadia reveals how she set up pool prank Shortly after Nadia went viral, she revealed that it was all a prank: “This is how I tricked the entire internet.” She showed herself filling up a small shot glass with green/brown food coloring, which she appears to be clutching in her left hand in the original video. “That’s good enough. Don’t zoom in on it; it’s too obvious.” Nadia called out the numerous Twitter news pages that shared the clip, some of which mocked her. Earlier in September, Nadia has also called out Activision of not offering her a spot at the annual invitational event for the new CoD game because of her “bikini pics.” At last year’s event, she also went viral for allegedly getting her account banned for cheating while attending the event.

Nailea speaks out on “uncomfortable” shipping rumors with Vinnie Hacker – Dexerto
Nailea speaks out on “uncomfortable” shipping rumors with Vinnie Hacker YouTube: Dixie D’Amelio, Vinnie HackerYouTuber-turned-TikToker Nailea Devora has finally spoken out about the rumors surrounding herself and internet star Vinnie Hacker — and she isn’t a huge fan of fans “shipping” them together. Nailea Devora went from breaking her school’s dress code in a viral YouTube video to becoming a mainstream presence on TikTok… but her humorous content isn’t all that fans are focused on. In fact, many onlookers are more interested in Nailea’s relationship with Vinnie Hacker, as the two have appeared in each other’s social media posts and other content together, seeming to have a friendly and comfortable connection. This has spawned a slew of rumors regarding the two influencers, which Nailea addressed during an interview with Dixie D’Amelio on a July 11 episode of her Early Late Night Show. View this post on Instagram “I always have seen him as a friend,” she said of the matter. “We kind of have the same sense of humor, so it’s always been super friendly.” Dixie then brought up the subject of shipping, noting that Nailea and Vinnie have been shipped together by fans for some time now, and asked her what that was like, considering her close friendship with the victorious TikTok boxer. View this post on Instagram “It definitely does make you a little uncomfortable, because it’s with the other person — like, you both are receiving that and seeing a lot of comments and stuff,” Nailea continued. “It’s a little weird. But I think it’s never gotten between our friendship or anything. We’ve always been super cool about it. We both laugh about it. It’s always just been friendly.” (Topic begins at 6:24) This isn’t the first time the duo has been asked about their relationship with each other; in April, Vinnie claimed that Nailea was “just a really good friend” of his when approached by paparazzi. Despite fans’ hopes, it seems that their favorite ship will never sail — but thankfully, it doesn’t look like the rumors are getting between their friendship.

Nadeshot’s girlfriend roasts him over infamous HBR moment after WSOW event – Dexerto
Nadeshot’s girlfriend roasts him over infamous HBR moment after WSOW event Instagram: @Nadeshot/ActivsionAfter finishing fifth in the Captain’s Cup Placements of the World Series of Warzone, Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag was roasted by his girlfriend on Twitter who referenced the infamous “HBR” meme. The World Series of Warzone has finally come to a close with numerous Call of Duty content creators winning massive amounts of money in prizes. Aydan ‘Aydan’ Conrad’s Trio took home over $300k and Kris ‘Swagg’ Lamberson managed to pick up an extra $50k in bonuses for winning the Captain’s Cup Placements. Nadeshot on the other only managed to finish fifth in the same bracket, winning $10,000 in prize money. Although that’s still a respectable position to finish, his girlfriend decided to take a jab at him over Twitter after the event had finished. Unlike most roasts, she only needed to tweet a single word to get underneath his skin. Nadeshot roasted by his girlfriend using “HBR” meme Following the WSOW event on June 24, Nadeshot’s girlfriend Haley Hey decided to roast him by tweeting a single word, HBR. Although long-time Nadeshot fans will be familiar with the story, it revolves around a weapon the ex-Call of Duty pro pulled out during an event back when he was still competing. Despite being an off-meta weapon, Nadeshot used the gun for a single round in an elimination match against FaZe Clan. This led a lot of fans at the time to blame Nadeshot’s weapon choice for the loss, turning the weapon into a meme overnight. So, when Nadeshot decided to tweet about how badly the tournament went, Haley Hey only had one word to say. It didn’t take Nadeshot long to respond, revealing that Hey was going to have to wait another year before he proposed. He even revealed that she was sitting right next to him when she decided to take the jab. “Deadass the most disrespectful thing anyone’s ever said to me and she was sitting right next to me when she did it… She gonna have to wait for another year now for the ring.” Deadass the most disrespectful thing anyone’s ever said to me and she was sitting right next to me when she did it. She gonna have to wait for another year now for the ring. Jokes on her. 🤣 https://t.co/SmvHa27sMt — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) June 24, 2021 It’s always funny to see the HBR meme resurrected over and over again at Nadeshot’s expense. It’s incredible that a decision he made all those years ago has made such a good meme today, and one that will likely live on for a long time to come. So, if you ever get into a Twitter dispute with Nadeshot, there’s only one word you’ll need to tweet to come out on top.

Content creator Froste has forged himself a reputation as an online prankster, regularly collaborating with his friends in The Mob to bring comedic content to his audience. However, the group are no longer together following Mako’s departure, and officially left Nadeshot’s 100 Thieves in May 2021. It was a bet made between Froste and Nadeshot, though, that led to latter being forced to get a somewhat questionable tattoo. Testing the waters back in February, Froste asked how many RTs it would take for Nadeshot to get a tattoo that reads ‘sex is temporary, gaming is forever’. The bar was subsequently set at 100,000 and, thanks to the help of Ninja, TimTheTatman and more, Froste smashed the challenge out of the park. https://twitter.com/Froste/status/1365092722848235523?s=20 Nadeshot was therefore forced to get a tattoo of the quote Froste has adopted in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek manner. Many thought that Nade would back out but, on June 5, DJ Zedd revealed an image of Nadeshot’s tattoo. Despite the font being very small, the message – ‘sex is temporary, gaming is forever’ – is still legible. Nade even quoted the DJ’s tweet, saying: “I told you guys”. Naturally, many of the content creators responsible for Froste’s tweet hitting the target weighed in to have a chuckle at Nadeshot’s expense. TimTheTatman came in with a “f**k ya daddy”, while Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop simply replied with a “W”. TSM’s Viss echoed many fans, saying: “Props for doing it”. Froste, admiring his work, asked: “why tf did Zedd tweet this? LMFAO”. Whatever the reasons behind Zedd tweeting the image, fans were delighted to see that Nade had stuck to his word, swallowed his pride and admitted that gaming is forever.

Nadeshot unveils first female streamer for 100 Thieves brand – Dexerto
Nadeshot unveils first female streamer for 100 Thieves brand Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag’s 100 Thieves continued their expansion into content creation by announcing their first female streamer on October 22. The organization announced popular Fortnite streamer Rachel ‘Valkyrae’ Hofsetter as the latest content creator to join the organization. With the announcement, Valkyrae has become the first female streamer to sign with the brand, joining the likes of Nick ‘NICKMERCS’ Kolcheff and ‘NoahJ456’ on the 100 Thieves stream team. The news first hit social media on October 22 when 100 Thieves posted a photo with Valkyrae and Nadeshot with an accompanying message welcoming her to the team. Welcome @Valkyrae to @100Thieves! We’ve been fans of @Valkyrae for a long time. She brings a tremendous amount of energy and positivity to the gaming community. We’re beyond excited for her to be a part of 100 Thieves. #100T Tune into her stream :arrow_right:️ https://t.co/klXVy4VSdh pic.twitter.com/iBVqiPh87X — 100 Thieves (@100Thieves) October 22, 2018 Valkyrae followed the announcement with a post of her own, saying that she received “10 offers” and mulled over her decision for six months before finally settling on 100 Thieves. Excited to finally announce that after 10 offers and 6 months of talking about joining an esports organization I have finally joined @100Thieves as a content creator!! I couldn’t be happier with my decision and I’m excited for what the future holds for myself and my team :sob::heart:️:tada: pic.twitter.com/ujwrXoO1eD — 100T Valkyrae (@Valkyrae) October 22, 2018 Talking about the signing on her stream following the announcement, Valkyrae confirmed that her contract with 100 Thieves is for one year. She further stated that she has the ability to re-negotiate and re-sign after the year is up, but the flexibility of the contract was a major reason behind her decision to sign with 100 Thieves. While Fortnite has been a large reason behind Valkyrae’s rise to prominence here in 2018, she’s no stranger to Twitch, having been streaming since 2014. The 26-year-old streamer just recently crossed over the 500,000 follower mark on Twitch and boasts another 462,000 subscribers on YouTube. Valkyrae might have joined 100 Thieves on as a content creator, but she’s been dipping into the competitive Fortnite scene during both the Summer and Fall Skirmish events. She’ll be making her first official appearance as a member of 100 Thieves at TwitchCon where she will pair with a random duo partner as part of the Stream-vitational on October 28.

Nadeshot unboxes $10,000 custom gaming PC for 100 Thieves compound – Dexerto
Nadeshot unboxes $10,000 custom gaming PC for 100 Thieves compound YouTube: Nadeshot100 Thieves founder and CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has unveiled his custom gaming PC from NZXT, ready to be set up in his personal streaming room at the organization’s new compound. The Cash App compound was revealed on January 22, complete with state-of-the-art facilities for teams, streamers and the apparel team. Although Nadeshot is at the helm, he’s still a content creator at heart, and needs his own place for streaming. With his very own personal studio in the building, Haag plans to do most of his streams from the compound. To do so, he teamed up with 100 Thieves sponsor NZXT for his very own custom PC build. And NZXT didn’t cut any costs in putting together his immensely powerful build. Housed in the mid-tower NZXT H710i case, complete with all the RGB trinkets, the PC is an absolute beauty, both technically and visually. Nadeshot admits that he’s no PC building expert, but you don’t need to be to know that having dual Titan RTX graphics cards is complete overkill for pretty much any gaming rig. But overkill is exactly what this build is all about. These cards make up about 50% of the total cost, at a whopping $2500 each. Paired with 128GB of T-Force Delta ram and an Intel i9-10980XE CPU, this PC is ready to tackle even the most brutal of loads with ease. To really make the build stand out, it’s kitted with the new Z73 Kraken AIO cooler, which is the only cooler to feature a completely customizable, full-color display. NZXT also went all out with the RGB, with even the cable combs having lighting. Nadeshot’s $10,000 NZXT PC – Full specs: Case: NZXT H710i Mid Tower White/Black Chassis (Custom Etched) – CPU: Intel i9-10980XE EXTREME EDITION – GPU: NVIDIA TITAN RTX (x2) – Nvidia HB Bridge NVlink 3-slot – Motherboard: x299-E Gaming ASUS ROG STRIX – RAM: Team T-FORCE Delta RGB 128GB (16×8) 3000MHz – Cooler: NZXT Kraken Z73 AIO Liquid Cooler – SSD: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB (x2) – PSU: Seasonic 1000W 80+ Gold PSU – Lighting: NZXT Hue 2 RGB Lighting Kit – NZXT RGB Cable Combs – White Cablemod extensions – NZXT RGB Underglow Fans: NZXT Aer RGB 2 – Single 120mm (x3) – NZXT Aer RGB 2 – Single 140mm – NZXT Internal USB Hub – – Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro – Software: Windows 10 Pro – The case is also customized with both Nadeshot and 100 Thieves’ logo, as the former CoD pro will have it positioned so it’s visible in the background of all his streams. NZXT is proud to announce we are an official partner of the leading lifestyle brand and esports organization: 100 Thieves#100thieves 💜 https://t.co/Ub7GD6uhBt pic.twitter.com/ETy02t9ehz — NZXT (@NZXT) January 30, 2020 Collaborating with NZXT, Nadeshot also explained that their online PC builder is useful for someone like him, with very little technical knowledge, as it’s tailored to whatever games the user wants to play. However, despite this monster of a PC that’s fit to create 8K movies, Nade says he’s still going to be doing a lot of console gaming.

Nadeshot proposes unique challenge to get The Mob verified on Twitter – Dexerto
Nadeshot proposes unique challenge to get The Mob verified on Twitter Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has tasked each member of The Mob with a unique 24-hour challenge in order for them to finally be verified on Twitter. Classify, Mako, Froste, and Avalanche have grown to internet fame due to their constant antics and meme-sharing on Twitter under the 100 Thieves banners. Having been signed to the organization back in March, the group of content creators have been eager to attain their verification ticks ever since, constantly nagging Nadeshot to make it happen. It seems as though their desperate pleas might finally be paying off as one big challenge from the 100 Thieves CEO could see them all rewarded in just 24-hours. Throughout a December 2 video, Nadeshot outlined his unique challenge to The Mob, detailing exactly what the four content creators must do in order to finally receive their verification ticks on the social media platform. “I’m sick and tired of you bothering me and bugging me literally every single day to be verified on Twitter,” he amusingly started. “You guys aren’t responsible enough and mature enough to be verified yet. When you see that verified checkmark you think ‘this is a true role model, this person is a celebrity in their own right.’ And I’m just not sure if you guys are there yet.” Despite his concerns, the 100 Thieves CEO went on to issue one final challenge for the squad, stating that if they can “stay off social media for 24 hours,” then Nadeshot will do everything in his power to get them all “verified on Twitter.” Dear @Froste, @Mako, @Classify & @Avalanche100T Please stop bothering us about Twitter verification. This is your one chance. Take it or leave it. pic.twitter.com/tIN00S94NC — 100 Thieves (@100Thieves) December 2, 2019 Often Tweeting consistently throughout the day, each member of The Mob is known for constantly being active on the Twitter timeline, thus, it didn’t take long for them to respond to the amusing challenge. “Staying off Twitter for a whole day is gonna be SO *ss. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ALL DAY TOMORROW????” Froste hilariously responded to the challenge. It’s likely the content creator hasn’t gone a full day without Tweeting since being signed to 100 Thieves. “Option #1: Tweet all day like a crackhead and try to stay off this ADDICTION of an app for 24 hours starting midnight to get verified….Option #2: I can’t do this guys I’m sorry this is a cry for help I legit can’t,” Classify expressed. on god bro staying off Twitter for a whole day is gonna be SO ass WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ALL DAY TOMORROW???? — Froste 💯 (@Froste) December 2, 2019 Option #1: Tweet all day like a crackhead and try to stay off this ADDICTION of an app for 24 hours starting midnight to get verified…. Option #2: I can’t do this guys I’m sorry this is a cry for help i legit can’t — Classify 😼 (@Class) December 2, 2019 With just over 400,000 followers on Twitter combined, and an additional 50,000 following their collective Mob account, there’s no denying that they are extremely popular figures on the social media platform. Going against what helped them grow as content creators, it’ll be hilarious to see the outcome of the challenge when Nadeshot’s test comes to an end as the clock ticks over to December 4.

Nadeshot thought leaving OpTic was “biggest mistake” of his life – Dexerto
Nadeshot thought leaving OpTic was “biggest mistake” of his life YouTube: NadeshotNadeshot’s career with OpTic is pretty well known at this point and the content creator has opened up on his exit which he has cited as a “huge mistake.” Matthew Haag is better known as Nadeshot and sprang to fame as one of the world’s most elite-level Halo players, before moving onto Gears of War, and eventually, the game that would make his career – Call of Duty. He joined OpTic in 2010, one of the world’s top CoD teams, and would eventually go on to become the organization’s captain. Nadeshot stepped down from his playing role in 2015. A year later, Nadeshot started his own esports org – 100 Thieves. The group has since become synonymous with esports, streaming, and content creation. But, despite this success, Nadeshot has revealed that he still regrets the way things ended with OpTic. Nadeshot discussed OpTic exit and regret During a stream on August 29, in which Nadeshot addressed the Froste controversy, the 100 Thieves CEO also moved onto the subject of OpTic. It was believed that Nadeshot’s exit boiled down to several alleged factors such as not being given official co-ownership of OpTic as well as friction with other members of the organization. “I left OpTic, regretted that for a long time,” Nadeshot said. “Not because I wasn’t making enough money, but because I spent so much time building something up with some of my closest friends my best friends, and I let money cloud my judgment.” Nadeshot went on to say that in his younger years he felt he could’ve been earning more money and he felt that OpTic was “getting in the way of me actually securing my future in gaming, and I left, and I moved to LA, and I regretted that for a very, very long time.” The owner of 100 Thieves also elaborated further on his company and how it saved him in the long run and helped to ease the pain of his OpTic regret. “100 Thieves saved me from what I thought was the biggest mistake of my life. I love Hector (H3CZ) like a brother and Scump and a lot of those guys, MBoZe, I have a really close relationship still with them to this day, but I always felt like I f**ked up by leaving.” It was rare to see a somber and serious demeanor from Nadeshot, but it offered some clarification and closure to a long-standing mystery for many fans of Nadeshot, OpTic, and 100 Thieves.

Nadeshot turns $30m 100 Thieves compound into a massive racetrack – Dexerto
Nadeshot turns $30m 100 Thieves compound into a massive racetrack YouTube: 100 ThievesWith so many people working from home at the moment, CEO of 100 Thieves, Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag took the opportunity to turn their $30m Cash App office into a racetrack for an episode of “crash the compound” with predictably hilarious results. In a bid to find out “who the fastest racers are at 100 Thieves” Nadeshot pits 5 team members head-to-head in the ultimate office-based race. Each racer represented an individual department, battling it out for the glory of being crowned the fastest competitor in the office. While many people would think of an office-based racetrack as a simple, largely flat affair; Nadeshot took things over-the-top in typical 100 Thieves style to create the “Formula 100.” Mixing go-karts, obstacle courses, and sporting challenges, the Formula 100 is about as crazy as office-based sports can get. 100 Thieves “Formula 100” race Watching over the contest, Nadeshot goes through each of the competitors and their departments before reaching Logan from content, saying “he better not disappoint, because I’ll bust his ass if he does!” Jackson was first up representing the ‘leadership’ team. Smashing through the course, Jackson managed to bust a few go-kart drifts and even ran over his own mic. Despite stopping to retrieve it, he still posted a “solid” time of 1:22 as the benchmark to beat. JHB from ‘marketing’ went for a much more calm approach than Jackson, with Nadeshot ripping into his form saying he wasn’t “aggressive enough” and taunting him for not having a license yet. Eventually posting a time of 1:48, Nade wasn’t sure if the time would “hold up” to competitors. Unfortunately for Kelsey from partnerships, “anything that can go wrong, did go wrong” during her run. Getting stuck on obstacles, smashing cones and accruing penalty points meant that she posted a time of 1:57 after a disastrous run. “Killer instincts” weren’t enough for Cody Cody showed off his “killer instincts” at the start of his run, before throwing it all away in the second half. Saying that his football shot “looked good” despite missing, Nadeshot commented “nothing looked good about that” before Cody got stuck in the tunnel. Posting an eventual time of 2:48, it seems that Jackson was the one to beat. Unfortunately, Logan was unable to beat Jackson’s time, but he was the closest one to it, posting a time of 1:31. Having watched the course “enough times to know it” Nadeshot then took to the track himself to try and knock Jackson off the top spot. Sadly even Nadeshot himself couldn’t topple Jackson from the podium. Having scuffed his shot on the ‘HBR Park’ football section, Nade shouted “I put it in, I make the rules, put it in!” Sadly even that didn’t stop him from being slower than Jackson. Announcing Jackson’s victory, Nade said “I’m the only person that’s going to be celebrating me today… Jackson, you win… Goddamnit!”

Nadeshot tells CoD players to quit complaining about MW2: “I don’t get the hate” – Dexerto
Nadeshot tells CoD players to quit complaining about MW2: “I don’t get the hate” NadeshotCall of Duty veteran and 100 Thieves founder Nadeshot has spoken out against CoD players hating on this year’s title Modern Warfare 2. Despite being one of the most successful CoD launches to date, absolutely smashing sales records, Modern Warfare 2 has had its fair share of criticism from the community. Critics have taken issue with just about every aspect of the game. From its UI to underwhelming features which the community claims the devs should be “absolutely embarrassed” by. However, Nadeshot has had enough of the complaints, hitting out at fans still hating on this year’s title. Nadeshot slams MW2 haters In a recent December 26 live stream, Nadeshot directly addressed players that can’t seem to be anything but negative about the new Call of Duty. “We had a podcast clip from the CouRage and Nadeshot show come up on my FYP page last night. I actually thought I put together a pretty compelling argument and every comment was still so irrationally ignorant where they were just like, ‘no bro this game sucks’,” Nadeshot explained. “Guys, look, why are we still talking about each Call of Duty every single year like it’s the worst thing that’s ever been created? Like it’s Call of Duty, it’s really not all that different every single year. “We know the game is not going to be finished when they release it,” he added. “We know there’s going to be problems with X, Y and Z. But, at the end of the day, the core foundational part of Modern Warfare 2 – the guns feel good, and it’s Call of Duty.” The 100 Thieves founder continued: “You know what to expect at this point, so I really don’t understand where a lot of the hate comes from.” This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Nadeshot jump to MW2’s defense. Just after the game’s launch, the popular streamer suggested the backlash and criticism for the game may be a bit much.

Nadeshot tells hilarious story about hiding weed during swatting at old OpTic house – Dexerto
Nadeshot tells hilarious story about hiding weed during swatting at old OpTic house Matt ‘Nadeshot’ Haag, formerly of OpTic Gaming and now CEO of 100 Thieves, retold the story of a swatting incident at the old OpTic team house, were he fortunately hid all the weed in the house just in time. Back as part of OpTic as a professional player, Nadeshot was one of five people who moved into the team house in 2013, along with Seth ‘Scump’ Abner, Will ‘BigTymeR’ Johnson and Joey ‘MerK’ Deluca (later replaced on the roster by Jordan ‘JKap’ Kaplan). The house was a hub of creativity as well as competitive Call of Duty, and helped boost OpTic Gaming’s already significant fanbase on social media, Twitch and YouTube. However, what was shown from the house was only what the players included in their videos and streams, and now, years later, the group sat down to discuss some of the lesser known tales. Nadeshot reveals for the first time publicly that he used to smoke weed, as did the other members of the house, and at one point had so much that the house became a mess. He explains that with so much mess caused by their habits, Nadeshot got “grossed out” and tidied all of the equipment and weed away, which couldn’t have been timed better – “That’s the night that we got swatted, and the house reeked of weed – we knew that they smelled weed, and they knew that we knew.” Watch below at the 1:07:00 mark. Scump even recalls one of the police officers blatantly sniff as soon as they walked in, making clear they knew exactly what they were smelling. “The next like five hours of that night, we were up to like four in the morning trying to figure out should we flush this weed down the toilet”, Nadeshot explains, saying they were concerned the police might even come back with a warrant to search the property. Looking back on it, Nadeshot says he hasn’t smoked weed in over four years, because it would instigate panic attacks for him, but is a believer in the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. And it doesn’t sound like this is the only taboo story they have in the locker, as Nadeshot says “when everything is said and done with our careers, there’s so many more stories that we could tell that people would love.

Nadeshot teases new 100 Thieves merch with incredible anime mashup – Dexerto
Nadeshot teases new 100 Thieves merch with incredible anime mashup 100 Thieves / Yoshihiro Togashianime such as Dragon Ball and Hunter x Hunter, while possibly teasing a new collection of merchandise. The 100T brand is a “gaming lifestyle company and esports organization” that has been at the forefront of streetwear and fashion since being founded in 2017. Combining the values of the organization along with Nadeshot’s personal love for anime, the CEO released two more custom artworks showing of classic characters in new threads. 100 Thieves teasing Spring 2019 collection? Just like last time, the artwork gives a modern spin to the iconic characters while wearing 100 Thieves branded clothing. But this time Nadeshot could be showing off coming a future collection to come. In his Tweet showing off the incredible artwork, Nadeshot gave a brief message, saying: May is coming. A slight Game of Thrones reference aside, this post differs from his last image drop by showing off previously unreleased items from the 100 Thieves collection. 100 Thieves spin on popular Anime The Hunter x Hunter cast are wearing a mix of new and old items from the 100T line. Gon can be seen with the 100T creme hoodie from the org’s 2018 Fall collection while Killua is wearing the 100T Royalty long sleeve tee shirt. Read more: My Hero Academia cosplayer pulls off impressive gender-bent Midoriya and “We Are Here” for it – Leorio is strutting his 100T team spirit by donning the premium jersey for the org’s 2019 campaign. But all of the fans’ attention were on Kurapika as he’s seen wearing what appears to be a reveal for a brand new item. To get a closer look at the upcoming apparel, Nadeshot released a standalone image of young Gohan rocking a striped 100 Thieves hoodie. The hoodie has slanted sections of the 100T color scheme, and what seems to be a red label fixed at the bottom of the sweater. The new design could be one of the limited styles that typically come in a 100T collection. With Spring already in full swing 100 Thieves and fashion fans alike will be eagerly awaiting the brand’s new collection presumably out in May.

Nadeshot slams Kick streamers for “doing the dumbest sh*t imaginable” – Dexerto
Nadeshot slams Kick streamers for “doing the dumbest sh*t imaginable” Twitch: NadeshotMatthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag, CEO of 100 Thieves and regular Twitch streamer, called out Kick streamers for their juvenile sense of humor and antics. Kick is currently situated in the streaming consciousness as an alternative platform where almost anything goes in terms of content. The platform, and by extension its streamers, have been called out in the past for what happens on their live streams. Kick, to its credit, does ban some of the more extreme creators who break their terms of service. However, that doesn’t stop a new batch of streamers from, for example, starting fights in the street. 100 Thieves CEO Nadeshot waded in on the topic and slammed Kick streamers for ruining the specific “pocket of the internet.” Nadeshot calls out Kick streamers The former professional Call of Duty player and content creator was asked by his chat for his thoughts on Kick’s IRL streamers, and Nadeshot did not hold back. “I don’t understand why people watch other people f***ing with other people in public. A lot of people think it’s hilarious. With some of this livestream stuff, I truly feel like a purist. Look at you dumb f***ing Gen Z b*tches, you guys are ruining this whole thing… We had a little pocket of the internet that was kind of our own and now you guys are out here just doing the dumbest sh*t imaginable,” he said on March 10. Nadeshot also touched on the recent controversy with Kick streamer ‘sweatergxd’ who was banned from the platform for holding a gun to a woman’s head while streaming. “Brother you need to be locked up, for life, because I promise you ain’t going to be doing nothing good for society in the years to come,” he said. Nadeshot is a veteran content creator, starting his career in the early 2010s with OpTic Gaming competing and creating videos for YouTube. The 31-year-old gaming influencer has been around the block when it comes to content creation, but it seems like Kick and its gaggle of young streamers pushing the envelope doesn’t connect with him.

Nadeshot slams “bullsh**t” Twitch culture after Mizkif’s 100 Thieves criticism – Dexerto
Nadeshot slams “bullsh**t” Twitch culture after Mizkif’s 100 Thieves criticism Twitch: Mizkif/YouTube: 100 Thieves Cast100 Thieves CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has expressed his frustrations after he was made aware of criticism from Twitch streamer Mizkif following the company’s layoffs, with a number of users coming to Nadeshot’s stream to tell him what Miz had been saying about it all. In January 2023, 100 Thieves laid off a number of its employees at all different levels of the business, following in the footsteps of many other top esports organizations as the economy becomes harder to navigate. Nonetheless, given 100 Thieves’ size and popularity, their layoffs were a huge focus for those critiquing what had happened. In a now-deleted Twitch VOD, Mizkif was one of those critics, suggesting that 100 Thieves “doesn’t know how to utilize its creators” according to those in Twitch chat who told Nadeshot. During the latest episode of his podcast, tentatively titled Nadeshot Knows, Nadeshot addressed the criticism, angling more of his frustrations towards Twitch culture than at Mizkif. “Somebody was trying to deflate my fun yesterday,” he said while talking about his Modern Warfare 2 ranked streams. “I’m just minding my own business then all of a sudden I’ve got first-time viewers, and apparently Mizkif was poking and making fun of 100 Thieves in some capacity, saying we don’t utilize our creators correctly. “I don’t know the full story, I’ve not gone back and looked at the clips … I don’t think Mizkif’s in a position to tell us how to run a business. At the end of the day, aside from all the drama that Mizkif has been involved in, I f**k with Mizkif. He’s been over the content house, I’ve got no problems with him.” Timestamp 10:26 He continued: “I didn’t want to have too harsh of an opinion before I knew what he was saying, but I told all these f**king kids, ‘Listen, if you guys want to go jerk off to a Just Chatting streamer, that’s your prerogative, don’t bring it on my front door. “I just hate so much of what Twitch has become. It’s everything that I was running away from high school. Every day, there’s some Twitch high school cafeteria bulls**t.” It goes without saying that Nadeshot’s bigger issue is with Twitch culture now, and the beef between creators, rather than specifically with Mizkif whom he admits he hasn’t bothered to watch the clips. Nadeshot himself has been finding a lot of success with his MW2 streams, averaging over 5k viewers and often pushing around 10-15k or more during a good stream, and for most of his career has managed to stay out of any creator drama or controversy — and it seems he wants to keep it that way.

Nadeshot says there’s “no way” Dr Disrespect is clueless on Twitch ban – Dexerto
Nadeshot says there’s “no way” Dr Disrespect is clueless on Twitch ban Impaulsive (YouTube) / G FUEL100 Thieves CEO, Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag, has explained why he believes there’s more to Dr Disrespect’s Twitch ban than meets the eye. Arguably the most controversial moment in Twitch history, Dr Disrespect’s permanent ban from Amazon’s streaming platform had a ripple effect throughout the whole entertainment industry. The Doc’s final Twitch stream left plenty speculating the reason behind his ban, with some breaking down the footage frame-by-frame to get a better understanding of what led to The Two-Time’s nigh-on immediate axe. Almost two months on from when Twitch dished out the ban, Nadeshot has opened up on why he believes there’s “no way” the Doc and his team don’t know the reason behind his ban. Speaking with Logan Paul and Mike Majlak on episode 208 of Impaulsive, Haag shed some light on the matter. “I just think there’s no way you sign a multi-million dollar deal with Twitch — on a multi-year term — and they ban you, and your legal counsel doesn’t know why… There’s no way that there’s just no communication.” Nadeshot continued to imply that the issue at the heart of the ban must have legal implications, which is why all parties have remained tight-lipped to this day. “In my mind, it has to have major legal implications, because you can’t just [renegotiate] on a deal like that. You have to be able to at least give some sort of explanation… So I think everyone is NDA’d right now.” Segment starts at 1:07:24 for mobile users. Paul then prompted the 100 Thieves CEO in a bid to determine “what could be so catastrophic that also stays in the dark,” to which Nadeshot explained that he couldn’t speculate simply because he (among everyone else) has no idea. Majlak and Haag subsequently ruled out that a breach of Twitch’s Terms of Service couldn’t be the sole reasoning behind Doc’s ban, simply based on the fact that he generated so much revenue on the platform. After speculating on Twitch’s rationale, the trio then touched on the success of the Doc’s YouTube return stream, with his ‘teaser stream’ alone garnering the eyes of over 300,000 viewers.

Nadeshot shows off new 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo S: “This is my dream car” – Dexerto
Nadeshot shows off new 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo S: “This is my dream car” YouTube.com/c/NadeshotNadeshot has unveiled his “dream car,” a 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo S, though the 100 Thieves founder had to deal with some serious supply-chain issues before he could get his hands on the custom white beauty. Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag has been busy this year. Whether it’s been leading 100 Thieves through a collaboration with Gucci, managing rosters in multiple esports, or cheering his League team on as they took home an LCS trophy, the former pro player and content creator turned businessman has burned quite the trail through 2021. With all of that behind him, his sweetest moment of the year may have arrived with his brand new 2022 Porsche, a car that has consumed more than twelve months of his life trying to lockdown. On October 25, he posted a video on YouTube detailing the complications of securing the car and why finally getting it means so much to him. Nadeshot reveals 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo S Nade described the process of chasing down this vehicle and how it took him a year and a half from start to finish: “It’s not the easiest thing to do if you haven’t purchased a lot of Porsches in the past, or you don’t have the right relationships.” He also explained that the rare number of these vehicles that are made every year means you have to be persistent if you want to get your hands on one. “Half of the battle is getting an allocation so that you can order it from Germany so that you can spec it out however you desire.” He went on to detail the specific customizations he ordered to the car, including the choice of paint, accents, and whether or not to have a sunroof or opt-in on for a carbon fiber top. “I was going to be daily driving this anyway. I wanted to be able to open up the roof – I’m close to the PCH, and just something about the energy of driving around with the sunroof open on a beautiful summer day in LA. “That’s what I wanted to enjoy.” Nade closed the video with a touching thank you to the fans who allowed him to be in the position to buy a car like this: “This is the most beautiful car I’ve ever owned and probably will ever own for the rest of my life. “I’m so happy I got to share it all with you, and thank you for being along for this journey. Thank you for making my dreams possible.”

Nadeshot says he’d “switch lives” with Valkyrae to be “relevant” again – Dexerto
Nadeshot says he’d “switch lives” with Valkyrae to be “relevant” again YouTube: 100 Thieves100 Thieves founder Nadeshot revealed that he would “change lives” with co-owner Valkyrae, joking that it would help him feel like he’s relevant again. From Optic Gaming Call of Duty League team captain to founder of 100 Thieves, Nadeshots popularity has continued to grow over the years. Although he’s taken a step back since his CDL days, he’s continued to be a part of the Call of Duty League with his own team, the LA Thieves, who recently took home the 2022 CDL Championships. During a recent episode of ‘We Three Thieves’ on YouTube, Nadeshot revealed that he’d “switch lives” with co-owner Valkyrae, joking that it would help him feel “relevant” again. Nadeshot on why he’d “switch lives” with Valkyrae During the July 18 upload, Nadeshot, JHB, and Nadeshots assistant JoeyK were asked what content creator they would like to switch lives with for a day, and why. JHB revealed he would switch with Fuslie, while JoeyK wanted to switch with Nicewigg. When it got to Nadeshot, he said Valkyrae. “I wanna feel what it’s like to be relevant again. I had it a few years ago when I was competing with Optic,” he explained. “She has a stan community. I felt like my community was just the boys kicking it at the lunch table but Rae’s got rockstar status.” (Topic starts at 4:22 in the video) Nadeshot went on to mention that Valkyrae has been in a variety of music videos as well. Over the last year, she has stood in for Corpse Husband for his song with Machine Gun Kelly, appeared in the background of Jae Park’s debut solo single, and most recently took part in Bella Poarch’s latest music video for Dolls. However, with nearly three million followers on Twitter alone and being the name behind one of the biggest content organizations to exist… it’s safe to say Nadeshot doesn’t have to worry about being relevant.

Nadeshot says he’d take a Kick deal to return to full-time streaming – Dexerto
Nadeshot says he’d take a Kick deal to return to full-time streaming Twitch: NadeshotTop streamer Nadeshot says that he’d be willing to take a Kick deal and return to streaming full-time, joking that he would happily gamble “100% of the time”. Nadeshot was an early adopter of the Twitch platform. He rose to legend status in the CoD community as he and Scump streamed on the now-defunct streaming MLG platform during the Black Ops 2 era. But in a recent podcast, the Twitch veteran said that he would “99.9%” accept a deal to move to Kick. Kick became popular with streamers for its lenient Term of Service policy and their attitude towards gambling. Many Twitch icons have already made the move over. Fan Favourites like Adin Ross have moved, and more recently Overwatch giant ‘Dafran’ signed a deal with Kick. Why Nadeshot reasons potential Kick move In an August 9 podcast on the 100 Thieves Youtube channel, Nadeshot spoke about a move to Kick at 47:12: The 100 Thieves owner said he heard from other streamers that you have to gamble “60% of the time”. He joked that he would move from being a “part-time streamer” to “full-time”, a move that reminded fans of old-school Nadeshot who used to stream for over ten hours at a time. He played around with the idea of a Kick move, laughing with his co-host that he would gamble “100%” of the time. This would be a move supported by Kick-supporter ‘TrainWreck’, who amassed his following by gambling huge amounts. Kick has also supported less gambling-focused streamers like American chess streamer Hikaru Nakamura. Nadeshot potentially could stream alongside Hikaru on Kick’s slowly developing roster of varying streamers. Kick could be the perfect place for Nadeshot. He didn’t have a deal with Twitch previously as he wanted to be more free with his content, watch-partying big gaming events, and playing copyrighted music. However, Kick hasn’t been without criticism. Kai Cenat recently took a subtle dig at Kick after they made him $40 million offer. For more news and updates on the latest Kick transfers, check out xQc’s gambling losses after moving to Las Vegas and streaming on Kick.

Nadeshot reveals new plans for 100 Thieves merch in 2020 – Dexerto
Nadeshot reveals new plans for 100 Thieves merch in 2020 Twitter: Nadeshot100 Thieves merchandise is some of the hottest on the esports market, and founder Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has laid out some of the organization’s new plans for 2020 to bring more of the apparel to fans around the world. No esports team has created as much quality merch as 100 Thieves. From the cream hoodies to the tri-colors, everyone has wanted a bit of the team in their wardrobe. They’ve weaponized their brand into a lifestyle behemoth, with their drops of merch selling out within seconds. However, this has also been a major disappointment for the team, with Nadeshot promising fans that while “things will be different” in 2020, more people will be able to get hands on their merch. Wrapping up 2019 with a bang on the Selfmade podcast, Nadeshot and Jackson Dahl talked about their ambitions and plans for 100 Thieves in 2020, and what they want to develop. Nadeshot in particular was most excited about the merchandise the team will be launching, and wanted fans to get hyped for what’s set to be an action-packed 2020. “What I would actually ask all of you to look forward to, if you’re a fan of 100 Thieves, I think our rollout of our apparel and jerseys is probably the thing I’m most excited about,” he said. The related segment starts at 1:01:00. The 100 Thieves founder said that 2019, while it was good in many ways, was disappointing in the fact that the majority of fans failed to lap up their merch before it sold out. “It hurt me down to my very core to know that there were so many people this year that were huge fans of 100 Thieves and our clothing and apparel that we dropped, and couldn’t get their hands on it,” he said. “People don’t understand internally the struggles that we went through to make apparel work this year because we did something completely different. We did custom cut-and-sell, we did things differently. It was a change of what you’d expect from any brand in general.” However, in 2020, things are going to change. Fans can expect more of the same designs they love, but there will be more of them in stock, and more variety to play with. “Our Head of Apparel has built out something that’s very different, but more of the same,” he said. “We have an entire year scoped out, planned out, way more product. “I will preface that — things will be different. A lot of things that we have done have been very simple and very weighted on 100 Thieves brand and the logo itself, but this year we are trying to be more progressive with athletic wear, streetwear.” They didn’t give any sneak previews of what could be on the horizon, but Dahl stated that “we want 100 Thieves to be a clothing brand that people love,” and they are well on their way to that goal. Apparel and merch is only one arm of what Nadeshot has slated to be 100 Thieves’ “biggest year” in 2020. Their content plan will be expanding as they start “taking content seriously,” and they’ll be looking towards other ventures for more inspiration. Given the launchpad they’ve set themselves up with in 2019, the sky’s the limit for 100 Thieves, and fans should be excited for what’s on the horizon next year.

Nadeshot gets roasted after ruining CouRage’s chance with Ariana Grande – Dexerto
Nadeshot gets roasted after ruining CouRage’s chance with Ariana Grande CouRage, Nadeshot – Twitter / Ariana Grande, InstagramIt’s no secret that content creator and esports caster Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop has a major crush on singer-songwriter Ariana Grande – and he finally got the chance to express his feelings during a concert on May 7. However, things didn’t pan out for CouRage as expected – 100 Thieves’ CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag ended up getting between the two personalities during a backstage group photo, which CouRage rectified with a quick photoshop shortly thereafter. Despite CouRage’s dapper new profile picture, Nadeshot made sure to poke fun at their original photo, claiming that he would send CouRage a cropped version of the image with himself standing by Grande “any time you piss me off.” Any time you piss me off, I’m sending you this. pic.twitter.com/d6w33VHzz2 — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) May 8, 2019 Of course, Nadeshot’s humorous “threat” didn’t go unanswered; the community jokingly reamed him across the hot coals for standing between CouRage and his celebrity crush, which he referenced in a post shortly after the fact. Even OpTic’s CEO, Hector ‘H3CZ’ Rodriguez got in on the action, calling Nadeshot’s strategic photo placement, “Bogus.” “I’m getting cooked harder right now for standing in between CouRage and Ariana in that photo than I did for pulling out the HBR,” Nadeshot wrote of the situation, referencing his blunder at the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare championship in 2015, where his choice to use the HBR gun resulted in OpTic finishing 7th. Despite all the joking, CouRage himself appeared to find the humor in Nadeshot’s good-humored jab, responding with a self-deprecating Tweet. CouRage was floored by Grande’s performance at the concert, as shown in a video taken by Nadeshot during her rendition of ‘No Tears Left to Cry.’ He went on to upload a video discussing the concert shortly thereafter, where he excitedly announced that he’d met Grande backstage. Jack was actually speechless. @CouRageJD @ArianaGrande pic.twitter.com/mpRPoc6zYA — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) May 8, 2019 Of course, his meeting with Grande isn’t stopping his dreams of becoming one of her backup dancers, as evidenced by the plea in his Tweet of their group photo. CouRage has a history of hitting on Grande over Twitter, even getting into a humorous spat with Vine star ‘Dwarf Mamba’ over his affections for the singer. Things appeared to escalate after Grande followed CouRage back on the platform in mid-February, after Twitch star Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins swooped in as his wingman in November 2018. Despite fans photoshopping the two together in vintage wedding pictures, it looks like CouRage’s affections have still gone largely unanswered – for now.

Nadeshot reveals meaning behind first ever tattoo, dedicated to 100 Thieves – Dexerto
Nadeshot reveals meaning behind first ever tattoo, dedicated to 100 Thieves YouTube: NadeshotCall of Duty pro started 100 Thieves back in 2017, and since then has overseen a period of incredible growth for the brand, including their entry into major esports like League of Legends and CoD, while also creating an apparel range which regularly sells out minutes after release. Now, the 26-year-old has decided to ink his skin in a true sign of adoration and dedication to the company he created, getting the logo of 100 Thieves tattooed on his forearm. Nadeshot enlisted L.A.-based tattoo artist Daniel Silva to design and perform the tattoo, with the American revealing in the moments before he got inked that he was “really nervous,” and even rang friend Hector ‘H3CZ’ Rodriguez for moral support. Even when he got the stencil placed on his arm, he still wasn’t sure about the size or location of the piece, and housemate Rachel ‘Valkyrae’ Holsetter did little to alleviate his fears, telling him that the location on the outside of his forearm was “not a good placement” and was “really awkward.” Nadeshot decided he was all for the unusual spot though, and after shaving his arm, sat down with Silva and got the 100 Thieves logo emblazoned on his forearm while being filmed for his YouTube channel. As for why he chose to get the 100T logo, Nadeshot revealed that it was a reminder of what the organization had done for him, and revealed how special the experience has been for him. “This tattoo means more to me than you’ll ever know,” the streamer told his audience. “What the 100 Thieves brand has done for my life is nothing short of incredible. A couple of years ago I hit a wall, and I felt like I was trapped. (100 Thieves) was an opportunity to work with other people who are passionate about the same things. “It’s so special to me because I’m not by myself anymore. I’m not alone in the goals and aspirations I have, and the things I want to do and accomplish. For me to have this as my first tattoo, I think this will be a visual cue of what was going on in my head, where I was in my life and how badly I wanted something more.”

Nadeshot reveals next big streamer he wants to join 100 Thieves house – Dexerto
Nadeshot reveals next big streamer he wants to join 100 Thieves house 100 Thieves CEO and founder Matthew ‘League of Legends, Call of Duty and content creation. Currently residing in the 100 Thieves Content House in LA is Nadeshot himself, alongside popular streamers Rachel ‘Valkyrae’ Hofsetter and Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop. They’re also sometimes joined by other popular personalities such as Timothy ‘TimTheTatman’ Betar and Hector ‘H3CZ’ Rodriguez during events. Needless to say, the 100 Thieves house is a hub for great content, but the three main residents have discussed who they would like to join the house in a recent video answering questions from Reddit. In a recent 100 Thieves video published on October 28, asked which non-100T content creator they would like to join the house, CouRage immediately says “I think Cloakzy would be the obvious answer,” referencing popular Fortnite pro Dennis ‘Cloak’ Lepore. (Timestamp 3:03 for mobile users) Nadeshot responds with a very clear, concise “Cloakzy, 100%”, before attempting an imitation of the popular Fortnite streamer. Following Cloakzy’s departure from FaZe Clan alongside Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney – who is still embroiled in a legal battle with the organization – there has been speculation about him joining 100 Thieves due to the amount of time he spends visiting the house, though if he were to join, it would have probably happened by now. Elsewhere in the video, the 100T trio discussed things they would like to change about the house, the possibility of Nadeshot jumping out of a plane with Yes Theory and their near-death experiences. Needless to say, Cloakzy would be a fun and fitting addition to the 100 Thieves content house, and it doesn’t seem too unlikely.

Nadeshot reveals how close xQc was to joining 100 Thieves – Dexerto
Nadeshot reveals how close xQc was to joining 100 Thieves 100 Thieves / Twitch: xQc100 Thieves CEO Nadeshot revealed that the organization missed out on signing one of Twitch’s biggest stars, xQc. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is one of, if not the biggest streamer on Twitch right now. It was recently leaked that xQc was the second-highest-paid streamer on the platform since September of 2019 with over $8 million earned. Since his career in Overwatch, xQc has signed with Luminosity Gaming as a content creator. However, his streaming career could have taken a different route. In a recent episode of The CouRage & Nadeshot Show podcast 100T CEO, Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag reveals the biggest mistake he’s made as an owner. Nadeshot reveals how xQc almost joined 100 Thieves While on the podcast, Nadeshot brings up a topic he claims to have never spoken about publicly and something he regrets to this day. He told the viewers that he missed out on an opportunity to bring xQc into the 100 Thieves brand: “xQc sent me a message back in 2017 with interest of joining 100 Thieves.” Nadeshot said. (Clip can be found below) There is a timeline where xQc joins 100 Thieves If Nadeshot had just answered his DMs in 2017pic.twitter.com/XRQp8B98Rt — Dexerto (@Dexerto) October 21, 2021 Nadeshot adds that he didn’t know a thing about xQc and was stressed with becoming a new owner to even respond to his message. Luckily for him, xQc cleared the air for everyone and claimed he was looking for a home, as he felt his agents weren’t representing him well enough. Due to this, he said: “I’m going to send random DMs to all the owners.” Although xQc sent a message to a lot of owners, he would wake up every time thinking he would hear back from at least one of them. Despite not hearing back from Nadeshot in 2017, that doesn’t rule out the possibility of xQc joining the org when his contract with LG expires. We will have to wait and see if either side is willing to make a monumental move in the future.

Nadeshot reveals how he felt when meeting Drake, Kanye West – Dexerto
Nadeshot reveals how he felt when meeting Drake, Kanye West 100 Thieves (Twitter)100 Thieves founder Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag is a massive personality in esports, but he was left humbled and nervous when he got the chance to meet celebrities like Drake and Kanye West, he revealed during the latest episode of Selfmade. Nadeshot has worked hard to get 100 Thieves off the ground, and it’s paid off big time. The esports team is now a recognizable lifestyle brand, attracting big name attention from Hollywood and beyond. However, every once in a while, he has to pinch himself when he meets celebrities, and even feel flattered to be in their presence. Describing some of the encounters he’s had on his most recent episode of Selfmade, Nadeshot revealed how meeting some of his idols like Kanye West and Drake left him floored. Nadeshot described Kanye West as a “really interesting guy” after taking the hip-hop superstar for a tour around the 100 Thieves facility. However, he was more mesmerized by meeting Drake before the singer invested into the team. “The most nervous I ever would have been meeting Drake,” said Nadeshot. “It felt like it happened in a blink of an eye — the conversations we had. “I just can’t imagine as a 16-year-old thinking to myself that’s where my life would have taken me. It’s just really cool to meet so many different people from so many different walks of life, different levels of success, and just have a conversation with them.” Jackson Dahl said these interactions with celebrities are “indicative of what’s happening with gaming over the last 10 years” becoming more mainstream, and will only become more plentiful. Nadeshot even shared a story of Hector ‘H3CZ’ Rodriguez’ encounter with Jay-Z and Beyonce, which prompted him to reflect on his own experiences with stardom. “Hector told me a funny story where he went to an event and it just so happened that he ended up in the same room as Jay-Z, and he didn’t know Jay-Z was going to be there,” he said. “He walks into the room and he looks to his right and says “oh that’s Beyonce,” and as he keeps panning through the room, he locks eyes with Jay-Z. He said that when he made eye contact with Jay-Z, it was the first time in his life where he truly felt somebody’s power in the room.” Meeting Drake and Kanye West aren’t the only highlights of Nadeshot’s life as head honcho of 100 Thieves. Getting to shake hands with DreamWorks founder Jeffrey Katzenberg, Scooter Braun, and Riot Games’ CEO Marc Merrill also topped the list of star figures Nadeshot has met. While the name value of Nadeshot continues to shoot through the roof, it won’t be long until the next esports star comes along and is mesmerized by the former Call of Duty professional’s presence, like how he was with his idols.

Nadeshot reveals biggest check he’s ever cashed – Dexerto
Nadeshot reveals biggest check he’s ever cashed In an episode of Twitter and Twitch collective The Mob’s ‘Mobcast’, 100 Thieves CEO Nadeshot revealed the largest sum of money he’s ever had deposited into his bank account – and it really proves that you can make serious money from gaming. Money is often the main discussion when it comes to gaming and esports – how much money is in the industry and how much individuals can make from them a serious precursor to any conversation around the industry. Nadeshot started out as a professional Call of Duty player, but quickly became far more successful through his Twitch and YouTube channels and, now, as the CEO of one of esports’ biggest organizations. As a man motivated by money, Nadeshot often asks guests of his ‘Selfmade’ podcast the biggest check they’ve ever had – but he probably didn’t expect the question to be turned on him when he appeared on the Mobcast. The quartet asked him about the biggest bank deposit he had ever made or check cashed, and the 9-time MLG champion seemed a little hesitant at first, but eventually decided to answer. “$3 million,” he said, nonchalantly, his hosts clearly in shock at the prospect of so much money. Although he couldn’t say who he got the money from, he did confirm that “that was a good day,” as if making that much money couldn’t be. (Timestamp 1:00:35 for mobile users) Although there has been little doubt as to Nadeshot’s status as a millionaire, the idea of someone who started out as a professional Call of Duty player simply getting $3m deposited into their bank account is pretty wild. This just proves how much money is in the industry if you work hard enough and reach high enough – especially with the growth esports is seeing week in, week out, the fact of the matter is that some people will be making this amount and more from their work in esports and gaming. Throughout the rest of the podcast, Nadeshot explained why he believes franchising is a big mistake for Call of Duty as well as discussing the NBA’s Devin Booker joining 100 Thieves and how he met his current girlfriend at the LCS Studios. Over the years, we can only imagine that $3m figure will only grow as both esports and 100 Thieves do, and Nadeshot could very well become the richest man in esports.

Nadeshot reveals the comical origins of 100 Thieves’ popular clothing line – Dexerto
Nadeshot reveals the comical origins of 100 Thieves’ popular clothing line 100 Thieves Instagram / LoL EsportsNadeshot’ Haag had tons of inspiration for releasing his brand, the CEO revealed a hysterical and simple goal for building 100T from the ground up. The former Call-of-Duty-pro-turned-executive gave incredible insights as to what led him to make a top-tier esports org a fashion staple for the industry in a New York Times story, which included a funny reason that a lot of people can probably identify with. Nadeshot gave an inside look at his history with clothes and fashion during the early years of his esports career. While he was a thrilling talent on the Call of Duty servers, he said that the clothes he wore at that time were less than impressive to some people. A primal root for 100 Thieves high fashion Before he and his apparel department created some of the most highly sought after designs in the market, Nadeshot recalled an entirely relatable origin for bringing up the brand. “I just wanted to look better,” Nadeshot said. “I needed a girlfriend. I was trying to be cooler. It was as simple as that.” I think it’s safe to say that he definitely upped his game since then. The popular esports figure has brought the industry collection after collection of 100T merchandise that quickly sells out. Fashion leaking into the gaming world Even though Nadeshot was looking to get a girlfriend, he also saw a burgeoning trend that would quickly turn into a problem if there wasn’t someone to alleviate it. “The professional players have probably spent $500 to $1,000 on what they’re wearing,” Nadeshot said. “They’ve got Gucci and Balenciaga… as soon as the players started elevating their wardrobe, that’s when all the fans started doing it too.” As regular people were looking to get in on the cleaner aesthetics they saw the pros don, Nadeshot wanted to give fans an option that offered a friendlier entry point for a way cleaner wardrobe. In doing so, he created one of the hottest sources of esports merchandise that’s had entire collections sold out in under 20 minutes, according to Nadeshot. Fans of the 100T brand are eagerly anticipating the release for Nadeshot’s next line of clothes which should be releasing sometime in Spring 2019.

Nadeshot pokes fun at Twitch hacker taking over channel: “Get that man some help” – Dexerto
Nadeshot pokes fun at Twitch hacker taking over channel: “Get that man some help” YouTube: NadeshotMatthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has gotten his Twitch account hacked on July 26. With the imposter playing Snake with his new-found fame, the 100 Thieves CEO couldn’t help but poke fun at the terrible gameplay he was witnessing under his name. Nadeshot is not new to being the victim of social media hackings. In 2018, his PSN and Twitter accounts were stolen. And even before that, in 2015, hackers accessed his YouTube account and deleted his videos. This time around a hacker targeted the content creator’s Twitch account on July 26. They played a third-party version of Snake, going as far as to display their facecam throughout the stream. The hacker also asked the viewers to send donations to their email. While it was all going down though, Nadeshot couldn’t help but laugh at the hacker and look beyond the surface level trolling. He mocked the hacker for their terrible gameplay. “That boy was straight ass at snake… Good grief get that man some help,” he said on Twitter. The content creator seems relatively calm. This is not to undersell the severity of the situation, but Nadeshot is accustomed to these predicaments. “I’ve done my time. I’m [an] old man, please leave me be,” he continued. Twitch chat also saw the fun in it, with one viewer commenting “mod me before Nadeshot comes back please!” As of now, Nadeshot’s Twitch account is temporarily unavailable — it was banned to stop the hacker (as well as homophobic language used on stream). But it’s nothing the 100 Thieves CEO can’t recuperate from. Expect Nadeshot’s account to be back up and running as soon as Twitch manages to patch things up.

Nadeshot responds to 100 Thieves pricing backlash & explains high costs – Dexerto
Nadeshot responds to 100 Thieves pricing backlash & explains high costs Nadeshot/100 ThievesAfter the launch of the 100 Thieves Foundations collection, Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has responded to a flurry of criticism about the price that’s surfaced on social media. 100 Thieves are without a doubt one of the world’s premier esports organizations when it comes to all aspects of the scene, they’ve pioneered many of the trends we see other teams following and their merchandise has been leading the way since the former CoD pro formed the org. However, since the launch of their new Foundations apparel line, which the org has touted as being available 24/7, there was an ample amount of controversy regarding the pricing of some options. Now Nadeshot has fired back at the backlash, defending the costs on Twitter. Nadeshot responds to fans At first glance it appeared the Foundations line was going to be one of 100 Thieves most popular yet, touted as being an everyday, more purchasable line of clothing compared to other drops 100 Thieves has done in the past. But then people saw the price. Fans quickly fired off comments on social media, largely due to the fact they felt the cost of some items seemed outrageous. One, in particular, said that “Nadeshot and 100T should be ashamed” due to the $135 hoodie that was listed on the site. It seems the backlash from multiple accounts got to Nade at one point, as he replied to this fan with details of where they source their products from, and how they use “the best designers, we work with the best manufacturers, and we use the best materials.” That’s a $135 Anorak, not a hoodie. We are an apparel brand, not a merch company. We hire the best designers, we work with the best manufacturers, and we use the best materials. From our custom YKK zipper pulls, custom metal aglets, and water resistant nylon. — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) July 3, 2021 The fan who had called out the 100 Thieves boss seemed to accept the explanation that the prices of the Foundations line is justifiable, but whether or not the price will still turn some fans off is up in the air still.

Nadeshot hilariously interrupts Dr DisRespect during green screen segment – Dexerto
Nadeshot hilariously interrupts Dr DisRespect during green screen segment Twitch streamer Dr DisRespect is known for high production value with his signature green screen segments, but his duo partner Nadeshot hilariously spoiled one such segment. Dr DisRespect keeps up his ‘Champions Club’ arena image with various CGI effects, from the locker room, his trophy room and even a kitted out nightclub. After winning some games on the new Call of Duty Blackout beta, Dr DisRespect switched to the nightclub overlay, ready to brag about his victories. But Nadeshot didn’t have time for Doc’s entertaining, not realizing the Doc was doing one of his signature segments, instead just speaking over him about customization options in Blackout. “I agree Nadeshot – can… can I finish here in the turtle beach lounge? Alright just take the mic then!” And Nadeshot wasn’t finished there either, as he went on, continuing to describe the various ideas he has for customization and new features that could be added. He even describes exactly how he wants to look in game while “running through these fields” and “popping out the corn stock”, before Dr DisRespect manages to get a word in edgeways. “Jumping out the helicopter, just looking like death. Striking fear in all the eyes of my opponents. Camo’s on my gun. You’re not going to like this when I say this, but I’m ready for the microtransactions.” Dr DisRespect and Nadeshot were having a lot of success on the Blackout beta, and with the Doc a former Call of Duty level designer and Nadeshot a former professional player, the pair had plenty of ideas for the mode.

Nadeshot hits back at complaints over “generic” 100 Thieves x Pokemon merch – Dexerto
Nadeshot hits back at complaints over “generic” 100 Thieves x Pokemon merch 100 ThievesNadeshot has fired back at complaints from the community over what some are calling “generic” 100 Thieves x Pokemon merch, asking fans not to judge based on the promo images alone. When it comes to merch collabs, 100 Thieves has it down pat, with brands and names such as Gucci and Attack on Titan, the org never seems to slow down with the highly anticipated crossovers. And their most recent announcement of their newest collab with Pokemon has many fans hyped but also brought in a slew of criticisms for what some have called a “generic” look. Now, CEO of 100 Thieves, Nadeshot, has taken to social media to hit back at the complaints, asking fans not to judge the entire merch collab based on just a few promo images. “It’s making its rounds throughout the internet, and a lot of the images that they’re posting are for the printables, the t-shirts that we have, coming in this drop,” Nadeshot explained. “You see just a Pokemon in front of our logo, and a lot of people don’t think that it is as creative as it could have been. But here’s the rub, a lot of people that see those images, they don’t see the actual lookbook of the full breadth… of products that’s going to be available.” Nadeshot explained that the full merch line had more than just the graphic t-shirts, with varsity jackets, sweaters, and vests, and that a lot of time was put into the process and design of the collab. Furthermore, he explained that the t-shirt’s simplistic design was intentional, as he wanted to make sure the merch line didn’t have “extravagant” designs on every piece they release. “I understand when you get a lens and a singular perspective off of one of these tweets that you see, but we pump our heart and soul into all these products we created over the years, and so if you could take a peek at the lookbook and see what’s actually happening… there’s more than meets the eye.”

Nadeshot gets revenge after Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy roasts him – Dexerto
Nadeshot gets revenge after Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy roasts him L: 100 Thieves Nadeshot R: One Bite – YouTube100 Thieves CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag caught the attention of Barstool Sports’ founder Dave Portnoy after saying Cheez-Its aren’t a good snack. It seems pretty common for the 100 Thieves organization’s members to share controversial opinions, with CouRage regularly stating Transformers is his favorite movie series, and now Nadeshot is getting in on the fun. We can’t fault the hustle too much since it’s an excellent way to drum up some engagement on tweets. This particular one even caught the eye of some big names to ramp up the responses even more. “Cheez-It’s are the lowest tier snack in the world,” he said. Cheez-It crackers are a beloved snack by many around the world and there’s a flavor for anybody out there. Well, almost anyone as Nadeshot clearly doesn’t seem to enjoy the crunchy snack at all. The 100 Thieves CEO received a bunch of pushback on this tweet, but nothing could compare to what Barstool’s Portnoy had to say. “You seem successful,” he started. “But you are clearly a brain dead moron who doesn’t deserve to breathe the same air as the rest of us. Cheeze It slander will not be tolerated around these parts.” You seem successful. But you are clearly a brain dead moron who doesn’t deserve to breathe the same air as the rest of us. Cheeze It slander will not be tolerated around these parts. https://t.co/5C18WKx657 — Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) January 18, 2020 It’s clear that Portnoy is a big Cheez-It fan himself and will fight to stop people from slandering the brand’s good name. In fact, Portnoy has become a bit of food critic himself, and even came out with his own app called “One Bite.” It started as a pizza review video series but grew in popularity so much that it had to move into an app format. Even Nadeshot is a fan of it, and he got his revenge over the Barstool founder in the best way possible. “Cheeto Puffs are the superior cheesy, crispy snack,” Nadeshot tweeted along with a video showing him uninstall the One Bite app. “I’ll still watch your pizza reviews though.” Cheeto Puffs are the superior cheesy, crispy snack. I’ll still watch your pizza reviews though. https://t.co/vZupMMt8zP pic.twitter.com/We6jRfhnIB — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) January 19, 2020 It ended up being the perfect mic drop as Portnoy tried to get Nade to apologize for what he said about Cheez-Its, so the two founders would be cool again. “Just take back what you said about Cheeze It’s and we’re cool,” he responded. Just take back what you said about Cheeze It’s and we’re cool. https://t.co/SHdPjdJx8q — Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) January 19, 2020 All in all, it’s a pretty harmless feud, but the Barstool founder did end up losing a user on his app, so there was some damage done. Hopefully, the two will be able to get together, crack open a box of Cheez-Its, and set aside their differences.

Nadeshot finally reveals why Dr Disrespect was not invited to his wedding – Dexerto
Nadeshot finally reveals why Dr Disrespect was not invited to his wedding Twitch / NadeshotMatthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has finally explained the reasons as to why Dr Disrespect was not invited to his wedding, which has been a hot topic ever since Doc’s viral reaction to not being invited in 2023. Nadeshot returned to Twitch streaming after a short hiatus due to his baby daughter being born, in which he stated: “Let’s make some more memories.” However, Nadeshot has never been one to shy away from questions from his viewers, and despite only streaming for a few days, he has already hit back at complaints over the 100 Thieves x Pokemon merch. That was not all. The 100 Thieves founder has also finally addressed why Dr Disrespect was not invited to his wedding. This has became a hot topic among their loyal fanbases ever since a clip went viral of Doc discovering he wasn’t invited live on stream. Nadeshot explains why Dr Disrespect was not invited to wedding During his Twitch stream, Nadeshot explained to his viewers: “The reason why Doc wasn’t invited to my wedding was because I just started hanging out with Doc.” Despite knowing him for many years, he admitted this was only at various corporate events and that he knew fellow creators, such as Cloakzy, Ninja and TimTheTatman more. Haag broke down the situation from his perspective: “We started playing golf together this past year and we had already sent invites out before we started playing golf together. So he puts out this clip that to this day I assume was a joke. That sh*t went super viral and now people have been asking me about that atleast once a day.” He ended by stating: “I have nothing against him, I would loved if the f*cking 7ft 9 phenom, two-time blockbuster world back-to-back champion would have came to the wedding, but there was just no reason to invite him, we weren’t really tight like that.”

Nadeshot fires back after 100 Thieves merch collection criticism – Dexerto
Nadeshot fires back after 100 Thieves merch collection criticism Twitter: 100ThievesWhile 100 Thieves has grown a reputation for releasing some of the most popular merchandise in the entire esports industry, the latest drop got a mixed reaction, leading Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag to respond throughout his latest video. Having been on a roll throughout the start of 2020 with major Fortnite signings in Martin “MrSavage” Foss Andersen and Brodie “Rehx” Franks, as well as officially lifting the lid on a new facility in Los Angeles, 100 Thieves latest announcement hasn’t been received quite as well as the organization might have hoped. While all previous merchandise collections from the brand have sold out in a matter of minutes, the latest from 100 Thieves seems had a more muted response, leading to an explanation from CEO Nadeshot. 100 Thieves Numbers Collection 2.29.20.In-Store 10 AM PT. Online 12 PM PT.https://t.co/8q3ChCqYeK pic.twitter.com/kMSytGNXCt— 100 Thieves (@100Thieves) February 24, 2020 The aptly titled ‘100 Thieves Numbers Collection’ is set to release on February 29 and marks the first time in company history that clothing will be available for purchase both online and in-store at their new facility. With nine unique items, it also serves as the single biggest collection to date, however, some fans of the organization appeared unsatisfied upon seeing the new shirts, pants, and headwear, for the first time. Nadeshot was quick to address concerns throughout his February 26 vlog where he explained why the in-store release is “the most important day of [his] life.” “I know that you guys have your own styles and own tastes, and I promise you that will change over time,” he expressed. “Maybe it won’t change with mine, that’s totally fine. But this is what I love and this is what I’m proud of. 100 Thieves Numbers Collection 2.29.20.In-Store 10 AM PT. Online 12 PM PT.https://t.co/8q3ChCqYeK pic.twitter.com/dceHy1Rk1j— 100 Thieves (@100Thieves) February 24, 2020 Addressing recent criticism, he explained how the company has faced similar feedback in the past after releasing “apparel that didn’t resonate right away.” “I have read your feedback and I know some of you don’t believe that this is what should be representing 100 Thieves. You guys have to understand we have an entire year of apparel ready to be rolled out. This is what we decided we wanted to roll out first, and I’m proud of this.” “It’s okay if it doesn’t fit your parameters in your head on what your style is,” he added, directly responding to fans that slammed the latest drop online. “Apparel, clothing, art, taste, change, it’s all subjective. Everyone is going to have their own opinion and that’s okay.” The relevant discussion begins at the 3:50 mark for mobile readers. The Numbers Collection was praised by some fans for its simplicity, but even some high-profile individuals in the industry responded sarcastically. G2 Esports CEO Carlos Rodríguez jokingly responded with a hasty edit of his own, placing ‘G2’ branding over each piece of merch and simply stating that he had “fixed it.” someone was paid to do what i did in 11 seconds pic.twitter.com/liwIQmt3Pb — Lucas7yoshi – Leaks (@Lucas7yoshi) February 24, 2020 The latest from 100 Thieves will be made available for purchase online at 12PM PT on February 29.

Nadeshot finally gets “sex is temporary, gaming is forever” tattoo after losing Froste bet – Dexerto
Nadeshot finally gets “sex is temporary, gaming is forever” tattoo after losing Froste bet YouTube: Nadeshot100 Thieves CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag finally bit the bullet after losing a bet with streaming star Froste — one that required him to get a hilarious tattoo inked on his arm. Nadeshot has built a successful empire around gaming, founding esports and entertainment organization 100 Thieves after first rising to fame as a Call of Duty pro. It’s safe to say that gaming is one of the most important facets of Nadeshot’s life — but no one would expect him to get the gaming-related tattoo suggested by streamer ‘Froste’ during a humorous back-and-forth convo on Twitter. After showing off the beginnings of his tattoo sleeve on social media, Froste asked Nadeshot how many retweets it would take for him to get the words “Sex is temporary, gaming is forever” inked somewhere on his body. https://twitter.com/Froste/status/1365092722848235523?ref_src=twsrctfwtwcamptweetembedtwterm1365092722848235523twgrtwcons1_&ref_url=httpswww.dexerto.comentertainmentfroste-wins-nadeshot-twitter-bet-to-give-100-thieves-ceo-hilarious-tattoo-1522143 Mistakenly, Nadeshot thought that 100,000 would be a safe bet. Unfortunately for him, meme-master Froste and the rest of the internet made sure that Nadeshot would keep his word, reaching the goal in just 90 minutes and surpassing it by double the initial amount. Internet celebrities like Valkyrae, TimTheTatman, and even Twitter Gaming joined in on the fun — and after revealing he’d get the ink on Monday, May 24, Nadeshot has finally delivered. Their new bio and header might be the most disrespectful thing I’ve ever seen on this website and app https://t.co/d2vLNlc0GW — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) May 24, 2021 Unfortunately for fans, the tattoo won’t be part of the sleeve that he initially shared on Twitter; instead, he claimed he’d put it on his thigh, “so I don’t have to see it every day.” Read More: xQc apologizes after GTA RP permaban – True to his word, the 100 Thieves founder revealed the tattoo as promised nearly three months later, sparking a slew of hilarious reactions across social media. .@Nadeshot has officially gotten his “”Sex is Temporary, Gaming is Forever”” tattoo 😂 pic.twitter.com/mcUr6pd58G — Wicked Good Gaming (@WickedGoodGames) May 26, 2021 For now, Nade only gave fans a sneak-peek of his new ink, and claimed he will officially unveil the full thing on social media in about two days.

Nadeshot finally responds to NICKMERCS’ controversial 100 Thieves exit – Dexerto
Nadeshot finally responds to NICKMERCS’ controversial 100 Thieves exit Facebook: NadeshotAfter former 100 Thieves member Nick ‘NICKMERCS‘ Kolcheff left the organization and complained of failed promises, CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot‘ Haag remained silent – until now. During his May 28 stream, Nadeshot finally addressed the situation, following comments from NICKMERCS stating he would never work with him again, and no longer liked Nadeshot on a personal level. NICKMERCS’ public accusations against Nadeshot were a surprise to many, as it initially appeared to have been an amicable departure, but has now become much more complicated. On May 25, Kolcheff said he “wanted nothing to do” with Nadeshot again, citing a lack of experience at the CEO level for Nade’s shortcomings. But Nadeshot is not interested in a “back and forth”, instead sending a message of support to his now-former friend and team member. “I have a lot of respect for what Nick has done with his career. I think he’s one of the best at what he does, as a content creator.” “I’m not going to make a comment or statement on the situation at hand,” Nadeshot states, before continuing “I don’t think there’s any point to having this back and forth. I don’t want to do it. I’m sorry that Nick feels the way that he does, it’s just a tough situation.” Nadeshot goes on to compliment how NICKMERCS has built up his personal brand, and his ‘MFAM’ community, wishing him “all the best”. “He’s going to have a long and successful career,” Nadeshot explains. “He’s built the MFAM and himself individually, he’s going to be just fine.” NICKMERCS spoke out against Hector ‘H3CZ’ Rodriguez, after the OpTic CEO appeared to side with Nadeshot on episode 30 of his Eavesdrop podcast. Read More: Fortnite Battle Royale streamer, Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop, formerly of OpTic Gaming, who comes on board the expanding content team. NICKMERCS appears to be going his own way for now, although there is some speculation that he could join another organization in the near future, with FaZe Clan a potential suitor. –

Nadeshot exposes Fortnite pros for “disgusting” trash-filled team house – Dexerto
Nadeshot exposes Fortnite pros for “disgusting” trash-filled team house Instagram / Twitter: Nadeshot100 Thieves CEO Matt ‘Fortnite pro players Davis ‘Ceice’ McClellan and Hayden ‘Elevate’ Krueger for creating a gigantic mess at the organization’s team house. The League of Legends team, who live and practice out of the California residence while they compete in North America’s LCS splits. With the LoL season now finished, 100T’s Fortnite pros have been using the space to practice and compete in the Fortnite Championship Series, and while the pair’s hard work is clearly paying off after their second-place finish in the grand finals, their cleaning habits appear to be non-existent, much to the annoyance of Nadeshot. In a clip uploaded to his Twitter account, Nadeshot gave his followers a look at the main practice and living area in the team house, which is covered in bags of food, with garbage on tables, desks, chairs, and even on the floor. “This is what happens when the Fortnite team is allowed to stay in a beautiful home all alone,” the former CoD pro stated as he walked around the room. “Ceice, Elevate, we’re going to have a talk. This is disgusting.” The 27-year-old even tagged Hector ‘H3CZ’ Rodriguez, who notoriously fines anyone who leaves trash sitting around in his “H3CZquarters” office $250, asking how much the two Fortnite players owe him. It’s time we have a talk @Ceice @ElevateFN Hey, @H3CZ, how much do you think they owe me? pic.twitter.com/FH4rfz3sMF — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) October 1, 2019 Ceice and Elevate originally joined 100 Thieves back in March of 2019, but have been teaming together since WSOE 3, which the pair won in December 2018. Since then, the duo have become an inseparable force, playing together throughout the year, and successfully qualifying for the Fortnite World Cup, finishing third and taking a combined $1.8 million in prize money from the Duos Finals. However, being among the best in the world at mopping up kills in a video game does not necessarily translate into being good at mopping up a mess in real life! Something tells us the pro players will be learning how to do that very soon, though. Fellow 100 Thieves member Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop had no sympathy for the pair, tweeting that there was “no way you two are this stupid,” telling them COO John Robinson was going to “bring down the hammer” on them for the mess. BRO THERE IS NO WAY YOU TWO ARE THIS STUPID @RohnJobinson about to bring down the hammer hahahahahahahah — Jack “CouRage” Dunlop (@CouRageJD) October 1, 2019 Meanwhile, Ceice was trying to pass the blame, sending out a tweet that joked “It wasn’t me,” before apologizing to Robinson for the state that the team house was in. On the bright side, Nadeshot can at least take solace in the fact that he’s not the only team owner to come across messy players; Cloud9 CEO Jack Etienne discovered a similar mess inside their League of Legends team house once upon a time! The culprits on that occasion included William ‘Meteos’ Hartman, who would later go on to represent 100T in their first season as an LCS franchise. Disgusting. I actually had a similar experience in early C9 days when I was greeted by this scene when I walked in. Right @Hai @Meteos @LemonNation @FlyBalls @Sneaky? :nauseated_face: pic.twitter.com/tVDFvw6rDF — Jack Etienne (@JackEtienne) October 1, 2019 Who will clean the garbage pile that the 100 Thieves Fortnite team has created remains to be seen, but don’t be surprised to see Ceice and Elevate donning a pair of rubber gloves to sort out the mess themselves!

Nadeshot’s female Snapchat filter looks exactly like actress Miranda Cosgrove – Dexerto
Nadeshot’s female Snapchat filter looks exactly like actress Miranda Cosgrove Nadeshot (Twitter) / Miranda Cosgrove (Twitter)One of the newest filters available on Snapchat is making men look like ladies, and apparently turning 100 Thieves CEO Matt ‘Nadeshot’ Haag into popular actress Miranda Cosgrove. For quite a while now, Snapchat filters have become a staple of modern social media culture, to the point where sending selfies without a filter would be considered unusual. The latest filter, made available on May 9, has become an instant sensation on social media, as it allows males to see how they would look if they were female with feminine facial features, longer hair, and wearing makeup. The filter has produced many hilariously outstanding images so far, but probably none more so than the selfie that Nadeshot posted, in which he looked more like Miranda Cosgrove than himself. Read More: Trisha Paytas calls H3H3 a “disgusting piece of shit” because of video ‘exposing’ her photoshop – In fact, the 100T founder himself acknowledged the similarities, posting his filtered selfie next to a stock image of Cosgrove for everyone to compare the two. The comments section of Nadeshot’s tweet were filled with the type of reactions you’d expect with a post like this. Many laughed at how eerily similar the two pictures looked, others were left a little more stunned at the similarities, and some of those from the meme community, such as Mob members Classify and Froste, went as far as to jokingly suggest that Nadeshot’s filtered selfie made him look very attractive. Unfortunately, at this point, Cosgrove hasn’t commented on the comparison herself yet, and there’s no doubt fans would love to see what she thought of female Nadeshot being her doppelganger. Who is Miranda Cosgrove? Miranda Cosgrove is a singer and actress who has starred in both major films and television series. Her film acting debut came in 2003, when she played Summer Hathaway in School of Rock. She’s arguably most known for her time playing as Megan Parker in the hit Nickelodeon series Drake and Josh from 2004-07, which she followed up by playing the lead role on the show iCarly from 2007-12 on Nickelodeon, which was also a huge success.

Nadeshot explains why he respects NICKMERCS staying on Twitch despite “wild” offers – Dexerto
Nadeshot explains why he respects NICKMERCS staying on Twitch despite “wild” offers FaZe Clan/YouTube: 100 Thieves CastMatthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has spoken out on how much he respects streamer and former 100 Thieves man Nick ‘NICKMERCS’ Kolcheff for sticking with Twitch, despite the wild amounts of money being offered by other services to secure top streamers to their platform. In recent years, we’ve seen a number of top Twitch stars move to the likes of YouTube, Facebook, or the now-defunct Mixer, with huge paydays being offered to tempt them away from the Amazon-owned platform. While this often means fewer viewers and subscribers, it almost always guarantees the creator earns a solid bag that they wouldn’t otherwise get from Twitch. Nick is one streamer who has never strayed away from Twitch, despite his peers heading over to YouTube and other platforms, sacrificing what would no doubt be a huge deposit into his bank account to keep his community in the same place. In the first episode of his new as-yet-unnamed podcast, Nadeshot was speaking about the emergence of Trainwreck’s Kick platform, as interest around it rises and names start getting linked to it. He went on to explain why he respected Nick’s reluctance to move, despite the beef between the two. He said: “Obviously everyone likes to talk about the drama between me and NICKMERCS, but I actually have a lot of respect for Nick in staying on Twitch, because I’m sure he had some wild offers.” Timestamp of 13:55 He continued: “Nobody knew that Shroud and Ninja would basically get their contracts accelerated and Microsoft would just pay to make the problem go away and let them back off to Twitch.” He added that with rumors circulating around the possibility of top Twitch star Kai Cenat joining Kick, if he were in that position, he would still stay on Twitch despite the money on offer. Nick and Nadeshot haven’t shared many words after their unceremonious split in 2019, and it’s unclear whether there really is still bad blood between the two, Nade clearly still has a lot of respect for the FaZe Clan co-owner.

Nadeshot explains why Ninja & Shroud were right to move to Mixer – Dexerto
Nadeshot explains why Ninja & Shroud were right to move to Mixer Ninja / 100 ThievesAfter Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins and Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek moved from Twitch to Mixer, the streaming world was rife with discussion over whether they had made the right choice – and now 100 Thieves founder Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has had his say on the matter. Ninja was the first major streamer to make the move, switching to Microsoft’s Twitch competitor, and opinions were flurried about left, right and center on whether or not this would work out for him. Shroud soon followed and Mixer had officially taken two of Twitch’s biggest stars, and since then they’ve faced lower viewership figures and a smaller community – but Nadeshot doesn’t think that is all bad. In an episode of The CouRage and Nadeshot Show with guest Ben ‘DrLupo’ Lupo, Nadeshot posed a question to CouRage and Lupo, asking whether they think Ninja and Shroud made the right move. They discussed decreased viewership, the lack of integration of things such as Valorant drops, which were only enabled for Twitch streamers, and Nadeshot’s time on MLG.tv, before Nade revealed that he actually thinks that despite everything, the Mixer streamers made the right decision. “There’s nothing worse than when you’re on the other side of the fence when everybody is having so much fun, with 100,000 viewers and the same exposure you once had,” he said. “What I would say to [them] is: the money is worth it. The money they’re making now is generational wealth. They’re going to be able to take care of their kids, their kids’ kids, just for making this sacrifice.” (Timestamp 3:33 for mobile viewers) He said that he understands their feelings due to his time on MLG.tv, saying that it can “feel like a prison,” but clearly believes they’ve made a great decision when it comes to being able to provide for their families for generations to come. Similarly, CouRage explains that although he sometimes feels a bit left out since his move to YouTube, he is anticipating that he’ll one day be able to provide exclusive drops on there and see his viewership go soaring, essentially suggesting that he believes the platform will go bigger and better in the future. Regardless of what you think about Ninja and Shroud’s moves to Mixer, there’s no doubt they each made a decent amount of cash from it, and Nade’s right when he says that they’re going to benefit for years to come.

Nadeshot explains why FaZe Clan are still the biggest esports organization – Dexerto
Nadeshot explains why FaZe Clan are still the biggest esports organization FaZe Clan / NadeshotMatthew ‘Nadeshot‘ Haag explained how FaZe Clan are the biggest esports organization, despite being the CEO of his own organization in 100 Thieves. Dennis ‘Cloak‘ Lepore, formerly of FaZe Clan, was a guest on the CouRage and Nadeshot Show and he answered questions ranging from what it’s like to live with Turner ‘Tfue‘ Tenney and what his current relationship is with his former org. This was before the news of Cloak leaving FaZe came out, so he obviously held back a bit in his answer, but Nadeshot revealed why FaZe Clan are the biggest esports organization around. Cloak and Tfue are two high profile names to leave FaZe. “I think the one thing you can’t ignore is that FaZe Clan is easily, by far the biggest esports organization,” he said. “They set a culture around their creators that was so innovative. That’s one thing I always had a great respect for FaZe Clan.” It’s high praise coming from the owner of a rival organization, but it didn’t stop there. “It’s almost like a cult-like following at this point, where FaZe is very influential as a culture in the gaming community and that’s something that I aspire to build with 100 Thieves.” FaZe has been around much longer than 100 Thieves so it makes sense that FaZe is much larger. (Conversation begins at 47:45) 100 Thieves has had a very strong 2019 with numerous major signings such as Jack ‘CouRageJD‘ Dunlop, content creation team The Mob, and most recently Fortnite pro Arkhram. There’s still plenty of time left in the year for 100T to continue picking up big names so don’t count them out any time soon. If they continue with these signings and stellar content creation, it won’t be long until 100 Thieves rivals FaZe Clan in the way Nadeshot is talking about.

Nadeshot explains why he moved to the 100 Thieves content house – Dexerto
Nadeshot explains why he moved to the 100 Thieves content house 100 Thieves CEO Matt ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has revealed why he decided to leave his apartment and move into the team’s content house. Nadeshot, who became a star as part of OpTic Gaming’s Call of Duty team, now heads up his own esports organization in 100 Thieves, who are also involved in apparel and content creation. Throughout much of 2018, Nadeshot hinted that the organization would be investing in a house for their content team, from which creators and streamers under the 100 Thieves brand could create. The 100 Thieves content house was officially unveiled in January 2019, and Haag revealed that he would be living in it alongside Twitch streamer Rachel ‘Valkyrae’ Hofsetter. While many were surprised that Nadeshot was leaving his apartment to move into the content house, he revealed the reasons behind the move in a recent interview with Travis Gafford. “Before I moved out to Los Angeles, I was living in a house with OpTic Gaming and I lived there for around three years,” Haag told Gafford. “It was one of the best opportunities for me as an individual to collaborate with other people but also to learn a lot about myself. “I very much consider myself to still be a content creator – when I do upload to YouTube my videos still do pretty well. Last year was very much a foundational year for 100 Thieves, but now we have a lot of teams, so a lot of the time I was spending on things last year won’t be there, I won’t be as jam-packed throughout my day so I can get back to streaming and making more videos.” While Nadeshot and Valkyrae are currently the only two inhabitants of the 100 Thieves content house, the organization has already begun to search for some more creators who could move in to the Los Angeles home. 100 Thieves have asked fans to suggest streamers or YouTubers who they think would be a good fit for the organization, with the hope that Haag and Hofsetter will soon have two new roommates.

Nadeshot explains why he’s not “even mad” at Fortnite pros trashing house – Dexerto
Nadeshot explains why he’s not “even mad” at Fortnite pros trashing house Nadeshot100 Thieves founder and CEO Matt ‘Fortnite team at the organization’s League of Legends house. Back on October 1, fans were left disgusted when Nadeshot showcased a brief twitter video of how Fortnite professionals Ceice and Elevate left 100 Thieves’ League of Legends house chocked full of garbage. With fast food bags, boxes, and drink cups lying around on computer set-ups, tables, and the kitchen units, Nadeshot labeled the sight as “disgusting,” but the full extent of the trash has been revealed – prompting a new rule from Nade for anyone who even considers following in their footsteps. In his ‘Our Fortnite team trashed a $10,000,000 home’ video, the former Call of Duty professional gave fans an extended look at the trash at how they hit every fast food spot in existence. “Honestly, I’m not even mad,” said Nade after giving fans a brief tour of the mess. “Now that I’ve actually looked at these bags, I’m not even mad that they left the house like this.” The 100 Thieves CEO stated: “You guys are young kids, I get it. When I lived at the OpTic house, my room probably looked similar to this – at a smaller magnitude, because the room was smaller – but f**k guys, this is bad.” He continued on: “This is really, really bad. I’m instating a new rule that Hector had for us. Any time you leave a piece of trash anywhere, $250 fine per piece of garbage.” Nadeshot even revealed that the team had messaged him to say they agreed to order maids to clean up after them but didn’t follow through on that idea – leaving the 100 Thieves CEO pretty baffled. Either way, with his H3CZ-inspired rule now in-play, no 100T player will want to fall foul of leaving their trash lying around, especially not when it could cost you a ridiculous amount of cash instead of buying some cheap garbage bags and taking a few minutes to clear up.

Nadeshot explains why 100 Thieves is ending its content house Youtube: 100 Thieves Cast100 Thieves CEO and founder Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag explained why the 100 Thieves content house is closing down. Nadeshot spoke up about the biggest reasons why the 100 Thieves content house is closing down on the 100 Thieves Cast. “We’re at that age man,” he said. “At the end of the day, people get older, your lives change and you can’t ever predict how you’re gonna feel one day versus the last and so for me and Hailey, I was actually sad to leave the content house but I was certainly excited for us to start our new chapter,” Nadeshot said. The founder explained that content creators of 100 Thieves are simply at that age where they are starting families and need their own private spaces for a variety of reasons as opposed to the more youth-friendly communal space of a content house. “Those are the things that need to happen and you can’t hold anybody back man, everybody needs to find their own way,” Nadeshot said. “If you actually care about these people you won’t hold resentment around leaving this beautiful thing that we had.“ The topic starts at 38:25 for mobile users Nadeshot also gave a brief overview of how the content house changed over the years with the 100 Thieves brand. “The business evolved and we brought on more partners we needed to make content,“ Nade explained. “Schedules don’t always line up and so you need to throw together a bunch of cast characters and sometimes I think people might think that fell out of place, but what’s beautiful about 100 Thieves is that everybody gets along pretty damn well.“ Nadeshot also explained that while the 100 Thieves content house might have not started out as typical “best friends living together,“ their bonds deepened over that time and now they are “going to be friends for the rest of our lives.“ So while the content house is ending, their stories are definitely far from over. Although the recent retirement of their League team mid-laner Bjergsen, caught Nadeshot by surprise.

Nadeshot explains why he’s going to miss the old 100T content house – Dexerto
Nadeshot explains why he’s going to miss the old 100T content house NadeshotAfter two years in the same house, Matt ‘Nadeshot’ Haag and 100 Thieves are moving to a new space, but it’s not an easy task, with the owner explaining why he’s going to miss the old place. The 100 Thieves content house has been the scene for some of esports most iconic moments over the last few months. From podcasts, to house tours and other hilarious content, the home has been the backbone of the organization. Now, they are looking for a change of scenery, upsizing to a new content house around Los Angeles. However, the move hasn’t come without tears, with Nadeshot getting a bit emotional on flipping over a new chapter in the organization’s history. Reminiscing on what the organization has achieved within those four walls, Nadeshot shared some of his favorite memories from the old 100T house. “[We did] two podcasts, Selfmade, and the CouRage and Nadeshot Show, in my room,” he said. “We had a lot of incredible content house videos that I think are just getting better and better and that will continue on at the new place.” Not only was the content a big part of the memory, but the faces he met along the way. Some big names passed through the 100 Thieves house to help the enigmatic organization with their content, with Nadeshot listing off some of his favorites. “We had so many different guests from Karl-Anthony Towns to Dillon Francis to Jordan Fisher to Marc Merrill to Felicia Day, a lot of rich people came into this place,” he said. Walking through the house with Haley for one last time, he talked about what some rooms meant to him, from his massive shoe closet to the bathroom. However, there were seemingly none more important than the bedroom. “A lot of hangovers in this bed, a lot of anime watched — amongst other things,” which sent the duo into a fit of laughter. “A lot of great memories were built in this room, but I’m excited to start anew.” The video was a bit of closure for Nadeshot, tying up a chapter in his organization’s history, immortalizing it in film, and moving onto the next stage. “It’s an important chapter that I feel like I need to close the books on with the camera on,” he said. “Pretty much the lifeblood of 100 Thieves ran throughout this entire building.” He did show off a bit of the new house, but kept most of it a secret ahead of a massive house tour soon to not steal the thunder of some of the other members. While they are leaving the old space, he is “excited” to move into a new place and continue expanding on what 100 Thieves have made a name for themselves for. The same old characters will be making tons of great content for their fans, and the future is bright.

Nadeshot explains how he almost burned down the 100 Thieves house – Dexerto
Nadeshot explains how he almost burned down the 100 Thieves house 100 Thieves CEO Matt ‘Nadeshot’ Haag revealed in an impromptu stream that he had almost burned down the organization’s content house after a candle mishap in his bedroom. The former Call of Duty pro left Chicago to move to Los Angeles, and now resides in the 100 Thieves Content House with fellow streamers Jack ‘CouRageJD’ Dunlop and Rachel ‘Valkyrae’ Marie in sunny California. The beautiful house where they also film videos and podcasts almost ceased to exist any longer according to Nadeshout though, who revealed all during a stream on his Twitch channel on December 3. After admitting he had started his stream “by accident,” Nadeshot went on to tell the story about how leaving a candle on his desk while he ate dinner had almost caused a monumental disaster at the 100 Thieves Content House. “I left a candle lit,” the streamer explained. “Most candles I buy are in glass, so when the candle’s done burning, the wax runs out and the candle just goes out by itself.” “I left a candle that had a metal bottom that I bought out of a gas station lit while I was eating downstairs, and it burned through the candle itself and the casing, and burned a hole in my mousepad and burned my desk. So I almost burned down the house. It smells like burnt rubber all through the house, up to the top floor.” Thankfully, Nadeshot confirmed that everything was ok, but stated he wouldn’t be streaming for the rest of the day after the frightening events that had occurred. Had things gotten any worse, it would have left fellow members CouRageJD and Valkyrae in a precarious position, so the good news is that someone in the house realized what was happening before it did too much damage, although it appears that Nadeshot will at least need a new mousepad, and possibly a new desk entirely. Nadeshot has been grinding Modern Warfare since it’s release back in October, playing matches and streaming regularly, although while he appears to enjoy it, for the most part, he thinks rereleasing old maps isn’t the answer to the game’s issues.

Nadeshot describes his “awkward” encounters with top YouTubers Markiplier and Tati – Dexerto
Nadeshot describes his “awkward” encounters with top YouTubers Markiplier and Tati Markiplier, 100 Thieves, Tati – YouTubeCoD pro recounted his “awkward” experiences with other top content creators on the net, including the likes of Markiplier and Tati. Nadeshot opened up about his experiences with these YouTubers during an episode of ‘The Courage and Nadeshot Show’ on May 31, after the drama surrounding beauty YouTuber James Charles was brought up as a topic in the conversation. According to Nadeshot, he’d lived in an apartment complex next to makeup guru Tati Westbrook and her husband, James, before they had actually gotten married. Nadeshot claimed that James had seen him with his camera in an elevator and asked him about his work on YouTube, kicking off a long lasting relationship. [Timestamp: 6:40 for mobile viewers] “We exchanged numbers and kept up with each other for quite a few months as he lived next door,” Nadeshot recalled. “He actually gave me a toaster. James gave me a toaster and we’ve been friends ever since.” However, one of Nadeshot’s stories didn’t end so happily: Haag recalled a second instance where he lived next to another popular YouTuber, Mark ‘Markiplier’ Fischbach, with whom Nadeshot tried to initiate a friendly relationship – to no avail. “He lived right across from me,” Nadeshot explained. “All of my interactions with him were incredibly awkward.” 600https://www.instagram.com/p/BqlMdpBnkMM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkMuch like his story with James Westbrook, Nadeshot ran into Markiplier in an elevator: While Nadeshot made sure to clarify that he had “nothing against” Markiplier, the YouTuber didn’t take such an avid interest in Nadeshot’s work, with Nadeshot ultimately concluding that Fischbach “didn’t like” him. “I told Markiplier, I was like, ‘Hey, man, I heard that you went rock climbing with CaptainSparklez,’” Nadeshot continued. “…I tried to make him feel as if we had a friend of a friend. …Markiplier did not like me, and I tried my best. I was like, ‘Hey, wanna grab a drink, wanna be friends?’ I think I just caught him off-guard.” 600https://www.instagram.com/p/BxnQR1sJKpp/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkNadeshot’s story follows the release of Twitch streamer NICKMERCS from 100 Thieves, who claimed that Nadeshot hadn’t held up a verbal agreement that would have granted him 5% of the org’s earnings. Nadeshot has since signed on caster and streamer Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop, who appears with Nadeshot in their joint show.

Nadeshot describes the perfect FPS game he could get “absolutely lost in” – Dexerto
Nadeshot describes the perfect FPS game he could get “absolutely lost in” Nadeshot100 Thieves owner Matthew ‘Nadeshot‘ Haag said he’s waiting for a game to suck him in and explained exactly the type of idea he has in mind to do just that. Unless you’re a big fan of battle royales, the video game landscape – especially on Twitch – must have been a pretty rough for quite a long time. Many streamers have been dying for something new to play, something Dr Disrespect has touched upon a lot, they still end up staying with the same games day after day. However, Nadeshot might have the answer to all of those problems. On August 2 the former Call of Duty professional player decided to vent his frustrations using his Twitter account, where he pleaded developers to deliver something with a fresh and interesting concept sooner rather than later. “I pray that there’s a video game released in the future that I can get absolutely lost in and addicted to like I did with Halo 2, Gears of War 1 or Call of Duty,” he tweeted. “I fear that my age and experiences have changed my perspective on games and my interest in them.” I pray that there’s a video game released in the future that I can get absolutely lost in and addicted to like I did with Halo 2, Gears of War 1 or Call of Duty. I fear that my age and experiences have changed my perspective on games and my interest in them. Fingers crossed. — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) August 2, 2019 He does say he hasn’t lost interest in video games themselves, but he has ended up spending more time watching them rather than playing himself. “I still enjoy playing games but they only keep my attention for so long,” the 100 Thieves owner said. “I find myself watching more than playing. Honestly though, it’s my own fault. If I’m not naturally talented at a game right out of the box, I become frustrated and quit too easily.” I still enjoy playing games but they only keep my attention for so long. I find myself watching more than playing. Honestly though, it’s my own fault. If I’m not naturally talented at a game right out of the box, I become frustrated and quit too easily. — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) August 2, 2019 Nadeshot then went on to explain just what he wants in a game and what developers have to do to give him what he wants. Read More: Call of Duty. There’s even a possibility the upcoming Modern Warfare title could be what he’s looking for considering it’s cross-play across console and PC. Only time will tell if that’s the case but it should at least be on his radar. –

Nadeshot confirms where and when he’s getting his ‘sex is temporary’ tattoo – Dexerto
Nadeshot confirms where and when he’s getting his ‘sex is temporary’ tattoo Twitch: NadeshotDuring his Warzone Invitational event, Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag finally confirmed when and where he’ll be getting his ‘sex is temporary, gaming is forever’ tattoo. Retweet challenges are dangerous game online, especially when you’re a well-known figure and your fans can hold you to your word. That’s exactly what Nadeshot found out when Twitch streamer and fellow 100 Thieves member Froste asked him how many retweets he needed for the 100 Thieves CEO to get a ‘sex is temporary, gaming is forever’ tattoo. With Nadeshot setting the goal at 100,000, it seemed like hitting such a huge number was an impossible task. However, with the help of CouRage, TimTheTatMan, Ninja, and other huge personalities, Froste’s tweet easily reached 100,000 retweets. Now, Nadeshot has finally revealed when he’ll be getting the tattoo, as well as where it’s going on his body. Although Nadeshot is relatively calm about the idea of getting Froste’s tattoo now, that wasn’t always the case. Back in February, it was obvious he didn’t expect the streamer to get anywhere near the 100,000 retweet goal. His reaction to the news that Froste had indeed hit 100,000 retweets was absolutely priceless and was all caught on camera as Nadeshot was streaming at the time. Three months later, Nadeshot has finally revealed when and where he will be getting the tattoo. During his Invitational Warzone event on May 18, the 100 Thieves CEO revealed that he’d be going to get the tattoo on May 24. Nadeshot was also asked where he’d be putting the ‘sex is temporary, gaming is forever’ tattoo on his body. In response, he said he’s getting Froste’s tattoo put on his thigh, so he doesn’t have to see it every day. “Yeah May 24, this Monday actually, sex is temporary, gaming is forever… I’m going to put it on my thigh somewhere, so I don’t have to see it every day.” There’s no doubt that Nadeshot will post a picture of the tattoo on social media as soon as it’s finished. While it would be great to see him get the words tattooed in massive writing on his leg, it’s likely it’ll only be a small tattoo. No matter how the tattoo looks in the end, it’ll always serve as a reminder to everyone that setting somebody a retweet challenge is not a good idea and can very easily backfire.

Nadeshot defends Kylie Jenner from critics of her “self-made billionaire” status – Dexerto
Nadeshot defends Kylie Jenner from critics of her “self-made billionaire” status Kylie Jenner/InstagramThere are many people disputing the claim that reality TV show star and cosmetics mogul Kylie Jenner is a self-made billionaire, but 100 Thieves CEO Matt ‘Nadeshot’ Haag is having none of it. On March 5, Forbes officially declared Jenner, 21, as the world’s youngest self-made billionaire, beating out Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerburg, who reached the ten-figure mark at the age of 23. A large majority of her wealth comes from her Kylie Cosmetics company, which is estimated to be worth at least $900 million and has products sold both online and in retail stores throughout the United States. However, many have criticized Forbes’ use of the title “self-made billionaire” when describing Jenner, citing her ultra-famous family and inheritance as a major reason for her success. Even Dictionary.com has tweeted several times on the subject, defining the term “self-made” as “having succeeded in life unaided,” insinuating that it does not apply to the 21 year old star. Haven’t we gone over this? Self-made: Having succeeded in life unaided.https://t.co/g0ZHDSkVfu https://t.co/3O48zKsInN — Dictionary.com (@Dictionarycom) March 5, 2019 One prominent person who has sided with Jenner on this issue is Nadeshot, who tweeted out in her defense on March 5, calling the criticism of her newly earned status “nonsense.” “Kylie Jenner is a billionaire but everyone is mad at the headline or claiming she’s this or that,” he tweeted. “Guess what, she has a billion reasons why she doesn’t care about none of this nonsense.” Kylie Jenner is a billionaire but everyone is mad at the headline or claiming she’s this or that. Guess what, she has a billion reasons why she doesn’t care about none of this nonsense. https://t.co/TD17z5FB7U — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) March 6, 2019 The comments section was full of people debating about the legitimacy of Jenner’s new status and Nadeshot’s viewpoint. Some expressed their agreement while others continued to argue that her path to success and wealth, while legitimate, was very much aided. “Her money she made on the show that she put into her company, seems self made to me,” said Gen.G content creator AvaGG. “Yeah fair enough, though not ‘self made’ in the least bit,” someone responded. “That’s all family money. Without Kim [Kardashian] or Kris [Jenner], there’s no Kylie.” Yeah fair enough though, not “self made” in the least bit. That’s all family money. Without Kim or Kris there’s no Kylie. — the man (@hsblankOG) March 6, 2019 At the end of the day, Nadeshot is probably right in what he said – youngest or not, self-made or not, Jenner is a billionaire, regardless of what people say or think.

Nadeshot claims “Instagram is dead,” offers ideas to fix it – Dexerto
Nadeshot claims “Instagram is dead,” offers ideas to fix it YouTube: NadeshotNadeshot has offered up his opinion and thoughts on the current calls to revamp Instagram, listing multiple ways the app is failing and offering up ideas as to how it can be fixed and relaunched for the better. 100 Thieves founder Nadeshot is one of the latest influential figures to throw their hat into the ring and show support for the platform to stop transforming into TikTok. Via Twitter, Nadeshot offered up his belief “spiritually, Instagram is dead.” How the move to focus on reels and videos has turned it into a less polished version of TikTok, something he calls a massive “shame.” He highlights TikTok’s “superior algorithm” as something that now “basically renders Instagram useless.” That the emphasis on reels for the platform now makes him feel as though he has “two TikToks” on his phone. This feeling is something that has become a popular consensus amongst long-time Instagram users. However, he doesn’t completely discredit Instagram reels. Instead, Nadeshot says that the platform should have had a separate, broken-off app for the specific content. “Instagram should’ve broken out Reels as a separate product and app. I’m sure conversion to downloads would’ve been a challenge at first, but I think it could’ve worked with some patience and persistence.” These comments from Nadeshot are in light of many celebrities, artists and casual users calling for Instagram to go back to its roots. A change.org petition called “Make Instagram, Instagram Again” has hundreds of thousands of signatures in support of this movement. Notably, Kylie Jenner joined in on the conversation that is calling on Instagram to “stop trying to be TikTok.” With many big celebrities and influencers getting on board with this movement, it seems like it is only a matter of time before Instagram responds.

Nadeshot believes Valkyrae was “targeted” after RFLCT announcement – Dexerto
Nadeshot believes Valkyrae was “targeted” after RFLCT announcement RFLCT: Valkyrae/YouTube: NadeshotDuring a podcast with CouRage and WillNeff, Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag claimed that he believes Valkyrae was “a target” after announcing her RFLCT skincare line. On October 19, 100 Thieves co-owner Rachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter announced her RFLCT skincare line that is intended to help heal your skin after damage from the “blue light emissions.” However, it was instantly met with hesitation as social media erupted with anger, calling it a “scam.” It wasn’t long until other influencers joined the conversation, with one leaving a damning review of the product she was sent and Sentenials content creator 39Daph claiming that she won’t support the line, despite backlash from Rae’s fans. Now, Nadeshot has given his verdict on the RFLCT situation, saying his fellow co-owner was a target for people on social media to create drama. Nadeshot believes Valkyrae was “targeted” During the October 28 episode of the CouRage and Nadeshot show, the hosts decided to provide their reactions to the drama behind Hofstetter’s recent announcement. WillNeff was the first to comment on the situation: “I think the outrage is inflated, how many beauty products are anti-aging? You can’t stop aging… How many people are losing their mind about that? I believe its just a lame thing to do, to take shots at a person who’s been a pretty decent human being the entirety of her career.” His comment struck a nerve with Nadeshot, who instantly agreed with him. Haag went on to explain that he doesn’t know a single thing about the beauty industry, but questioned why people don’t say a word about existing anti-aging cream. “I think Rae was basically a target. Everyone had her in their crosshairs” he explained. “Everybody in the gaming industry just looks every single week to find something that they’re going to be mad about so they can talk about it on social media.” (Timestamp at 37:34 if it doesn’t load) Matt went on to explain that while the drama was unfolding, he was on vacation and wasn’t checking his phone.

Nadeshot calls Dillon Danis an “internet bully” amid Logan Paul beef – Dexerto
Nadeshot calls Dillon Danis an “internet bully” amid Logan Paul beef YouTube: JJ Olatunji, 100 Thieves Cast100 Thieves CEO and former Call of Duty pro Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has weighed in on the ongoing Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis beef, claiming that in the whole ordeal, he just feels sorry for Logan’s fiancée, Nina Agdal. Throughout the buildup to Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis, due to take place on October 14 as a co-main event matchup alongside KSI vs Tommy Fury, Danis has been frequently posting about Agdal, a supermodel from Denmark, sharing photoshopped images of her in different situations as well as photos of her with other men, in an attempt to upset Logan. Things came to blows at the press conference and, while Logan managed to keep a cool head throughout, almost everybody else had their own chaotic moments, including Tommy’s father John who had to apologize for his outbursts the following day. The day following the press conference, 100 Thieves posted a new episode of the Nadeshot Knows podcast, in which he and assistant Joe discussed the whole situation, and Nade couldn’t hide his feelings about it all. Nadeshot says Danis’ posts are “too far” Speaking about the beef, Nadeshot said: “Dillon Danis is just tweeting every 10 minutes, and I only know of him because of the man that he hates and the man he’s going to fight. “So, when this is all said and done, maybe he’ll have some level of relevancy, but he’s probably going to have to just jump on the next creator or next individual to stay as relevant as he has right now.” Taking on a more serious note, though, Nadeshot spoke out in support of Nina Agdal. “I really do just feel sorry for this poor woman, who didn’t ask for any of this. “She’s just being publicly shamed and bullied by this guy who would never have any interaction unless she was engaged to Logan Paul … I truly do believe that it’s been taken too far… This guy is the definition right now of an internet bully, and everyone’s just going along with it.” Timestamp 14:38 Adding that the treatment is “f**king disgusting,” Nadeshot couldn’t hide his contempt for Danis’ actions, perhaps able to relate to it more as a newlywed himself and able to put himself in Logan’s shoes. Danis, a former MMA fighter himself, hasn’t actually had a fight since 2019, having pulled out of several fights in the time since, including one against KSI, for which he “wasn’t prepared” to fight. Critics are expecting him to pull out of this fight too, but only time will tell how things actually end up.

Nadeshot apologizes to Froste over Bill Cosby joke and deletes 100 Thieves video – Dexerto
Nadeshot apologizes to Froste over Bill Cosby joke and deletes 100 Thieves video Instagram: nadeshot/Froste100 Thieves founder Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has issued an apology to former 100T content creator Froste, after a video in which Froste was compared to disgraced former comedian and actor Bill Cosby. Froste joined 100 Thieves in June 2019 alongside The Mob, a collective consisting of himself, Mako, Avalanche, and Classify, who grew from ‘Twitter trolls’ to fully-fledged content creators in the space. Two years later, in 2021, it was officially announced that The Mob would depart from 100 Thieves, and since then Froste has had no affiliation with the organization. That’s why Froste was so shocked when his name did come up in a recent 100 Thieves video. In it, random names were drawn against each other for certain situations, and 100T co-owner Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop had to pick ‘an unlikely celebrity to become the next US President’ between Froste and Cosby, joking that “both options are horrible.” In a now-deleted tweet, Froste called out CouRage and Nadeshot for letting it happen, saying it’s “crazy” that a friend who he respects would “compare him to a f**king rapist.” He even told Nadeshot that “you don’t pay me to be the butt of the joke in these cringe a*s videos anymore, so tell your employees to keep my name out of your mouths.” In a follow-up, he asked how he’s supposed to explain to his parents that “the people I once called friends are comparing me to a rapist for a joke?” While CouRage himself didn’t respond, Nadeshot did, in a series of apologetic tweets to the former 100T creator. If it’s worth anything at all to you, I know personally and professionally that there isn’t a single person that you worked with at 100T that would ever want to embarrass you in any capacity. And for Jack specifically, he’s been one of your biggest supporters since day 1. — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) March 4, 2022 He said that both personally and professionally, nobody at 100 Thieves would want to embarrass him, adding that CouRage “has been one of your biggest supporters since Day 1.” Nadeshot continued, “the clip can be interpreted in a lot of different ways, and for that reason it should never have made the cut.” He added that they “would never make a joke with this level of severity and malicious intent,” and promised to ask the content team to delete the video. I’m going to ping the content team to delete the video and I’m here at any point in time if you’d like to hop on the phone and catch up. I’ve got a lot of love for you brother, always have and always will. — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) March 4, 2022 Froste thanked Nadeshot for handling it, but requested that they leave his name out of any future content. The video in question has now been removed from the 100 Thieves channel.

Nadeshot baited into classic prank during 100 Thieves charity stream – Dexerto
Nadeshot baited into classic prank during 100 Thieves charity stream During the 100 Thieves Charity Holiday stream, founder and Call of Duty legend Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag fell for the oldest trick in the book while he was reading out donations. Even when Nadeshot is doing something generous during the holiday season, the fine folks in the Twitch chat just can’t help but bait him into saying something silly. This time, they got him with a classic. The org founder announced on December 11 that he would be doing a 100 Thieves Holiday Charity stream, with all the proceeds going towards the Gamers Outreach Foundation. He announced there would be several tiers with different incentives available, including getting tattooed, and doing merch giveaways. There’s even a $50k level for him to assemble a team and compete at an amateur CoD event. IT’S TIME! LET’S RAISE SOME MONEY FOR CHILDREN IN HOSPITALS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND HELP THEM FEEL LIKE KIDS AGAIN. @GamersOutreach @totinos @100Thieves https://t.co/BWblxJBQK5 pic.twitter.com/EmbM6GDbL8 — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) December 11, 2019 In just a few hours, Nadeshot had already raised an impressive amount of $45k towards Gamers Outreach, on the shoulders of massive donations from the likes of NoahJ, CouRageJD, and TimTheTatman. But even with good intentions abound, the positive karma from doing charity couldn’t save him from a classic donation prank: reading out the inappropriate name of the donator. You hate to see it, but at least it all goes to charity, and a good charity at that. Gamers Outreach is a charity that has been around since 2007, that provides recreation through video games to children in hospitals to combat the loneliness, scariness, and isolation that can go along with extended hospital stays. Gamers Outreach has raised millions over the years and helps over a million individual children per year, and this year, its founder Zach Wigal was nominated for the CNN Hero of the Year award. In just a few hours, Nadeshot had already hit his goal of raising over $50k towards Gamers Outreach; an incredible milestone to achieve in just a very short amount of time that will go toward helping kids in need. And, that’s not all the 100 Thieves brand is going to raise for charity, as they have a schedule lined up for numerous streamers to raise money throughout the day. Our 16-hour holiday charity stream in partnership with @GamersOutreach, presented by @Totinos starts at 10 AM PST tomorrow! Here’s our full schedule. We can’t wait to work together with this community and raise money for a good cause this holiday season! #100T pic.twitter.com/pGEx0r4y1E — 100 Thieves (@100Thieves) December 10, 2019 While the highlights of the streams are what makes it to social media, whether it’s Nadeshot getting baited or Cloakz getting his hair butchered, it’s the moments that he spends encouraging donations and subjecting himself to punishments that are the most important.

Nadeshot and girlfriend Haley reveal biggest pet peeves about each other – Dexerto
Nadeshot and girlfriend Haley reveal biggest pet peeves about each other Nadeshot – YouTube100 Thieves CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag sat down with his girlfriend Haley and discussed their biggest pet peeves with each other in a hilarious Q&A. In a Valentine’s Day upload, Nadeshot answered fan questions from Twitter about him and his new girlfriend. The couple were asked questions like what’s the proper way to place toilet paper on the roll, have they watched anime together, and has Haley seen Nadeshot’s twerking videos. While the majority of them were playful, one fan wanted to know what the pair’s biggest pet peeves were with each other. Nadeshot knew his immediately and quickly went into great detail on how the way Haley chews bothers him to no end. “I know my pet peeve,” he began. “There are not many things that bother me about Haley. I can actually probably only think of one. One that’s negative, one that’s positive.” Of course, he started with the negative one first so he’d be able to lift her back up with the positive one after. “One pet peeve that I have, and she knows this, my entire family has an issue with chewing noises. Haley chews with her mouth closed, but what I’ve discovered, I’ve broken like the glass wall, and now it’s the only thing I can hear. When Haley chews, her jaw in and out, so it makes a loud popping noise,” he said. He immediately lightened the mood by revealing his second issue with her is that he hates how well she plans, which actually ended up being her frustration with him. “That was going to be my pet peeve, that you hate that,” she replied. “That you don’t like when I try to plan things cause I love to plan things.” When asked to give an example of that, Haley quickly came up with something was the very same day as the video. (Segment begins at 1:21) “He has a dinner tonight and I was like ‘well, why don’t we come back, Brooke just moved in, she’s super sweet, her and her boyfriend are here,’” she said. “I was like ‘let’s play Codenames, which is a fun board game that we just got, with Brooke and her boyfriend tonight after we come back.” Nadeshot goes on to explain that “nine times out of 10” he’d prefer to sit at home and watch TV, but his girlfriend has things planned out well in advance, like dinner reservations months ahead of time. All in all, it was a playful back and forth between the two and there weren’t any hard feelings at all. Nadeshot said for years he’d just go with the flow and never plan anything, so perhaps he could use some structure in his life. After all, he is running perhaps the most popular esports organization out there, so it’s important to have some things planned out.

Nadeshot gives tour of brand-new 100 Thieves content house in LA – Dexerto
Nadeshot gives tour of brand-new 100 Thieves content house in LA The 100 Thieves brand has been rapidly expanding and CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag was excited to take his fans on a tour of the new 100T Content house the team recently acquired. Nadeshot and the 100 Thieves organization has been on an upward trajectory since its inaugural 2018 competitive season, and will now look to provide its fans with more content in 2019 with its new house for creators. 100T streamer Rachel ‘Valkyrae’ Hofsetter and Nadeshot walked through the entire Los Angeles property that will be the home base for the organization’s video creators. One of our biggest initiatives in 2018 was to find a space for our creators to live, collab, and bring their best ideas to life. We’re so excited to finally unveil this place today. Welcome to the 100 Thieves Content House LA: https://t.co/HopnD7KlE8#100T #HonorAmongThieves pic.twitter.com/G9osfPhQNX — 100 Thieves (@100Thieves) January 15, 2019 Even knowing that there will be two more people in the house when its up and running, the space is incredible both in style and size. The video starts with the pair showing off a guest bedroom on the first floor which will serve as a future resident’s office who will live in the house’s smallest bedroom on the second floor. The house’s living room, as the rest of the property, is adorned with a modern design from the color palette all the way to the furniture. The tour included a look into the backyard that had a chic pool with a cozy sitting area decked with a fireplace. The rooms were each lavish, with huge spaces and incredible natural lighting. The residents will also have access to roomy walk-in closets, while Nadeshot will be able to take his pick of two huge walk-ins, presumably for all the sick clothing that 100T is known to have. Nadeshot said that he and Valkyrae are the first two of four content creators who will inhabit the two-story house, and mentioned the team is currently looking to fill the remaining rooms.

Nadeshot admits 100 Thieves “whiffed” by not signing Kai Cenat for huge project – Dexerto
Nadeshot admits 100 Thieves “whiffed” by not signing Kai Cenat for huge project Twitch: Nadeshot, KaiCenat100 Thieves CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has revealed that he and 100 Thieves “completely whiffed” when they neglected to sign up Twitch record breaker Kai Cenat for their energy drink. Since Nadeshot launched 100 Thieves in 2017, it’s become one of the biggest esports and gaming lifestyle brands, known off the server primarily for its exclusive, limited merchandise and apparel drops. Since then, it has won multiple championships in-game and awards out of it, and in recent years, has started to diversify its revenue streams by launching or owning other brands. One of these is their energy drink, Juvee, which officially launched in the United States in October 2022. Nadeshot, however, has revealed that the product could have ended up having Twitch star Kai Cenat as a partner, which would inevitably have been huge for the brand. Nadeshot on signing Kai Cenat for Juvee In the latest episode of his new podcast, Nade and his assistant Joe spoke about Kai’s newfound success and the huge subathon that helped him surpass the 300k subscriber mark. They then got on to the topic of Nade and Juvee’s major miss, with Haag saying: “When we were architecting our marketing launch campaign for Juvee, Sam Keene [President, Juvee] actually had Kai Cenat in a deck to become one of the foundational creators that we launch with. “In my mind, I didn’t know who he was. I mean that out of pure ignorance, not a lack of respect. Since 100 Thieves started, I just haven’t been paying as much attention … Six months later, when we end up launching Juvee to the public, little did I know Kai Cenat was just going to get bigger, and bigger, and bigger.” Timestamp 8:10 Nade added that he “completely whiffed” on not signing Kai Cenat up, but revealed that he ran into the star at TwitchCon and felt it was “cool” that Kai recognized him. Creator-led brands are definitely huge in 2023, with PRIME — the hydration drink created by British YouTuber KSI and US influencer extraordinaire Logan Paul — making the pair millions. Whether Juvee can achieve the same lofty heights remains to be seen, but it’s fair to say that that might have been made easier with Kai Cenat on their side.

Nadeshot and CouRage reveal why 2020 will be 100 Thieves’ “biggest year” – Dexerto
Nadeshot and CouRage reveal why 2020 will be 100 Thieves’ “biggest year” In what appears to be the final episode of The CouRage and Nadeshot Show, at least in its current form for this year, 100 Thieves founder Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag and Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop revealed big plans for the 100 Thieves brand, their show, and themselves coming up in 2020. A flagship year for 100 Thieves is only just the beginning, according to two of the brand’s biggest faces. In their fifteenth episode of The CouRage and Nadeshot Show, the two hosts reflected on the show’s year, as well as how 2019 went for themselves and for the 100 Thieves brand. The duo highlighted both Pokimane and Dillon Francis as two of their favorite guests during the year, and have already set their sights on some big names to have on future episodes. Both CouRage and Nadeshot expressed their strong desire for Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins to come onto the show, citing how great of a guest he was on the True Geordie podcast that released this December. Nadeshot also wanted to get Devin Booker, NBA superstar for the Phoenix Suns on the show. In their sixth episode, Nade and CouRage hosted fellow NBA superstar, widely regarded gamer, and Booker’s college teammate at Kentucky, Karl-Anthony Towns. The two also have big plans for content outside of their podcast, as they expressed their goal of “taking content seriously” in 2020. They didn’t reveal any details specifically about what that entails, but claimed that between them, BrookeAB, and Rachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstette, they could really “crush it” next year. Their new house will be a big part of their lofty content goals, and the 100 Thieves team isn’t sparing any expense. Nadeshot remarked that he was surprised that their current house was obtained for so cheap, but admitted that they are “basically doubling their spending” when it comes to housing costs next year. But according to them, fans are going to be blown away with how sick the house is. Those goals appear to include more skits and comedies, as a job listing for 100 Thieves posted earlier this month indicates that they are looking for a comedy writer to create more stories and content as part of a bigger plan. Finally, the boys reflected on their own personal growth over 2019, and what else they have planned for next year. Both Nadeshot and CouRage expressed fondness for the girlfriends they got this year, as well as the new interests they’ve both expanded into. They both look forward to diving into more new interests, and doing a good deal of extensive traveling in the future.

N3on blasts Charli D’Amelio for talking about his “disrespectful” behavior at party – Dexerto
N3on blasts Charli D’Amelio for talking about his “disrespectful” behavior at party YouTube: N3onKick streamer N3on is hitting back at Charli D’Amelio after the TikTok star opened up about his “disrespectful” behavior toward her at a party. Charli D’Amelio is TikTok’s second most-followed creator. In September 2023, she was attending a party hosted by her boyfriend, music artist Landon Barker, when she was approached by popular Kick streamer N3on. Although N3on is known for his over-the-top pranks and wild behavior, she wasn’t prepared for him to start hitting on her — much less while her boyfriend was literally right beside her. That wasn’t the end, or even the beginning of his antics regarding Charli, though. Prior to the party, N3on made comments about trying to sleep with the TikToker during his live stream, saying, “the plan is to f*ck Charli D’Amelio by the end of the night.” The streamer also made several other remarks about Charli during the event, claiming he wanted to “smack her ass.” Charli appeared to open up about her encounter with N3on during an episode of the Jay Shetty podcast, where she detailed a strikingly similar incident at a party with her boyfriend — leading many viewers to presume she was calling out N3on. “I woke up to some crazy person talking about me in the most wildly disrespectful way I’ve really seen in a long time,” Charli said. “Me and this person were at an event together, and this person introduced themselves. I introduced myself. We tried to be nice. This kid was not nice to me, then went and talked very poorly on me.” N3on says he’ll “uppercut” Charli D’Amelio amid feud over “disrespectful” behavior Now, N3on is hitting back at the TikTok star. In a recent broadcast, N3on directly called out Charli, saying he would hit her with an “uppercut” if he saw her in person. “Charli D’Amelio,” he began. “I see you talking sh*t on a podcast. It’s crazy, because you wouldn’t say that to my face. ‘Cause if I see you, I’ma uppercut you. Respectfully, please don’t talk about me. Keep my name outta your mouth, alright?” Thus far, Charli hasn’t offered any response to N3on’s latest statement, but we’ll keep you updated right here on Dexerto if she does.

Nadeshot addresses 2HYPE’s future at 100 Thieves amid group’s ongoing drama – Dexerto
Nadeshot addresses 2HYPE’s future at 100 Thieves amid group’s ongoing drama 100 Thieves100 Thieves CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has addressed recent controversy surrounding popular YouTube collective 2HYPE as drama continues to unfold around them, and outlined their future with the organization. Shortly after joining 100 Thieves back in Nov. 2020, the group of YouTubers has been caught amidst its biggest controversy yet. Original members of the channel have been lashing out at the current lineup for a number of days online. An assortment of lengthy exposé videos have led to all manner of accusations, from suggestions the group’s full roster had been trimmed so that profits aren’t being spread so thin, to leaked audio of team members crafting fake narratives that mislead fans. Most of these have come since the collective joined up with Nadeshot’s gaming and apparel brand. Now, the 100 Thieves CEO has addressed the situation in his latest Twitch stream. “2HYPE’s tough… A lot of people have been asking me about 2HYPE,” he said at the beginning of a January 4 Twitch stream. While Nadeshot alluded to a full statement or a more intricate video coming down the line, that didn’t stop him from carefully addressing the situation in the moment. “I wish the best for Mopi,” he said in response to one of the bigger videos released in December. Founding member Mopi uploaded a 43-minute video to his personal channel, which has since garnered over two million views. “I wish I knew him better,” Nadeshot continued. “I wish I could have helped him with a lot of the things he’s going through right now.” “It’s clear that people on both sides are hurt and feel that the other side has broken their trust.” Despite the ongoing drama, however, Nadeshot made one thing clear: the current 2HYPE group will not be leaving 100 Thieves anytime soon. “I have a ton of respect for them and I’m excited to work together,” he confirmed. Read More: Corpse Husband may have to quit YouTube – “I don’t think it’s really 100 Thieves’ place to try and interject and mediate the entire situation. It seems like this has been going on for months and months. Prior to us even talking.” Nadeshot also mentioned that he doesn’t buy into many of the wild accusations going around. “I don’t think Mopi would go out of his way to try to tear down his friends. I don’t think the rest of the 2HYPE would go out of their way to hurt their friends.” Regardless of how everything pans out, the timing of the drama is certainly “rough,” he admitted, but he expects the group will stay under 100 Thieves banners.

Two-time Dota 2 The International winner n0tail banned on Twitch – Dexerto
Two-time Dota 2 The International winner n0tail banned on Twitch OG’s captain and two-time Dota 2 TI winner Johan ‘n0tail’ Sundstein has been banned on Twitch for an undisclosed period of time, with fans speculating he’s been suspended over the usage of homophobic slurs. N0tail is one of the most popular Dota 2 personalities in the world, and with good reason. He’s one of only five people to win the prestigious The International twice, and he’s the charismatic leader of the fan-favorite OG team that did so. While he doesn’t stream too often, he booted it up to his 100,000 followers on Twitch over Christmas Day, sharing the festivities with over 2,800 average viewers across the broadcast. However, he has since been suspended in the aftermath of the stream, with fans speculating he was taken down over the usage of homophobic slurs. ❌ Twitch Partner “”BigDaddy”” has been banned! ❌https://t.co/A1SPV3rULn#twitch #ban #firstban #partner #twitchpartner ♠️ — StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) December 27, 2019 Why was n0tail banned on Twitch? N0tail was suspended from Twitch on December 26 for an unknown period of time. While his ban reason isn’t publicly known, it’s suspected that he was taken down for hateful conduct during his Christmas stream. According to users on Reddit, the two-time The International winner used the slur “f****t” numerous times, as well as saying “gay” in a derogatory ay. Comment byu/PesNr from discussion inLivestreamFail Twitch’s Community Guidelines state that hateful conduct that “promotes, encourages, or facilitates discrimination, denigration, objectification, harassment, or violence based on…gender, gender identity, [and] sexual orientation” is prohibited on the platform. For the first offence, like in n0tail’s case, Twitch usually hand down a ban varying from 24 hours to a week, depending on the severity. Streamers will also have a strike laid against their account, with a three-strikes rule permanently deplatforming streamers after three offences. It’s unclear as to when n0tail will be able to stream again on Twitch, as no one knows how long his ban is for. N0tail, nor his team OG, is yet to make a comment on the situation, but we will update you when they do.

N0thing explains why shroud “is one of the best aimers of all time” – Dexerto
N0thing explains why shroud “is one of the best aimers of all time” Mixer star Michael ‘shroud‘ Grzesiek has been known as the “human aimbot” for a long time, and former Cloud9 teammate Jordan ‘n0thing’ Gilbert explained the key contributing factor for the title. Even in his Counter-Strike pro days, shroud was known for his quick flicks and godly aim. Meanwhile on his CS:GO streams, there was hardly a day when “the King of Reddit” didn’t make an appearance on the GlobalOffensive subreddit. While shroud has piled up viral clips to add to his highlight reel, many have been in awe for the streamer’s consistent aim. Luckily, n0thing detailed exactly what to adjust in your mouse mechanics to start aiming like shroud, but probably not as good. It’s all about mastering the basics In explaining the optimal way of aiming with a mouse in an FPS, n0thing noted shroud’s refined arm movements which has given him the notoriety he’s garnered. “That’s why we call shroud one of the best aimers of all time,” n0thing said. “Because his movements with his arm are so accurate that not many people have that level of accuracy.” Mobile viewers can see the clip here. N0thing was explaining the importance of using one’s arm to aim, instead of relying on wrist movements. By doing so, you move the reticule to your target’s location, while using the mouse for a more precise shot. “Wrist and the hand is always going to be the most accurate mechanism because it’s smaller, it’s more precise,” n0thing said. “Arm is used to keep your wrist centered. Anytime you’re aiming forward, you want to keep your arm centered on your mousepad.” This is even more important when “flicking” to a target, where players rely on a precise reaction to nail a quick shot. Read more: PUBG to Modern Warfare, shroud has showed off wildly impressive moments of aim – landing almost impossible-to-hit shots. While the streamer is on a level of his own, at least players now have an idea of what it takes to aim at that level. –

Myth’s impression of xQc’s iconic setup rant is perfect – Dexerto
Myth’s impression of xQc’s iconic setup rant is perfect Team SoloMid’s Ali ‘Overwatch professional. The streaming pair have even hit it off as friends, meeting up at TwitchCon, and with Myth being able to pull out his impression in front of the Canadian. Yet, Myth has taken things up a notch by reciting xQc’s iconic ‘six consoles, ten computers’ rant with some incredible accuracy. 500During his November 3 stream, the TSM star had been chatting with fellow streamers Pokimane, GreekGodx, PokeLawls, and RajjPatel when his now-infamous impression became a topic of conversation. He dove in, taking some time to focus on what xQc would say about Overwatch before switching course. “I’m still shooting at walls, dude, he’s got six consoles dude, cat cam, cat tree, satellite, radio dude, bunch of fu**ing wires,” Myth repeated with incredible accuracy, leaving his fellow streamers jokingly accusing him of practicing in his free time. “I swear to God, I didn’t dude!” he replied, snapping out of the impressive impression. “I didn’t! I don’t know, one day I woke up and I was able to do the xQc impression, I swear to God.” While the conversation moved on to his other impression, Myth did break out the voice one more time for a final shout of “six consoles!” leaving Twitch chat spamming another round of xQc emotes. Myth has tried to imitate other streamers, including GreekGod himself an even Summit1g, but none have been quite impressive as xQc. Fans of the streaming pair are still waiting for the day that they join forces in a game like Fortnite and bamboozle everyone with their identical voices.

Myth, xQc & more defend Symfuhny after ‘slip up’ with racial slur on stream – Dexerto
Myth, xQc & more defend Symfuhny after ‘slip up’ with racial slur on stream Symfuhny / Twitch: MythMyth, xQc and Hasan have defended Symfuhny after a clip of him allegedly using a racial epithet during a Warzone Twitch stream. Fortnite pro and Twitch streamer Mason ‘Symfuhny’ Lanier was caught in a wave of controversy after he was accused of using a racial slur while streaming Warzone. As he was parachuting into Verdansk, he spoke to Myth entering his chat when it sounded like he used the term. He didn’t address the situation on stream, continuing to play as normal. However, several major streamers, including xQc, Myth and Hasan, have come out in defense of Symfuhny. On his stream, Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani made it a priority to come to Symfuhny’s defense. “This sounds bad. I can admit it, you can admit it, we can admit it. But I have to tell you guys that Sym did not say the n-word. Even though we heard it, he didn’t say it. “Sym has the weird behavior and patterns of a 12-year-old child. The kid’s awkward, scrawny, weak, bad at FPS games, and on top of that he doesn’t know how to speak proper English. “I talked to Sym and he genuinely mumbled up a bunch of words and it came out like that.” Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyell empathized with Symfuhny’s experience. “To me it feels like something I do really often, [which] is have an idea of what I am going to say and have a different idea and change a word in the middle, and it reroutes like that,” he said. “I feel like that could happen. “I had a clip like that a long time ago, and everyone was mad at me because they thought I said it.” Hasan also backed Symfuhny, claiming he would not expect the streamer to have said a racial slur. “If this is something he casually says and he is dropping it here, then it’s fucked up, he said. “No question. “But with all my experiences with Sym, and I don’t know him that well, he is a very nice kid. He doesn’t strike me as the kind of person who casually drops the n-word. Chance ‘sodapoppin’ Morris had a more carefree take on the situation, but still backed Symfuhny. “I f***ed up,” he said. “Today Symfuhny said the n-word on stream and I didn’t give my opinion on it. I’m such a f***ing idiot. I really don’t think he’s racist. Had to get that out there.” While Twitch hasn’t taken action at this point, the platform has been accused by the likes of Forsen for banning people even for accidental or misinterpreted uses of inappropriate language. Symfuhny is yet to publicly comment on the situation.

Mythbuster’s Adam Savage perfectly recreates Kratos’ Axe from God of War – Dexerto
Mythbuster’s Adam Savage perfectly recreates Kratos’ Axe from God of War Sony/Adam SavageAs a part of his ‘One Day Builds’ series, Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame perfectly recreated the Leviathan Axe from God of War (2018) as a present for his nephew on Christmas. Even though the game is about to be three years old this April, God of War is still somehow touching the hearts of fans, content creators and general celebrities across the world. In fact, i’s so influential that it’s now reached former Mythbusters hosts. Adam Savage, who hosted the aforementioned show for many years and now runs his own YouTube channel, recently recreated the Leviathan Axe from the hit Sony Santa Monica-helmed game as a part of his One Day Build series. The program, which Savage has kept up for several years now, tasks the former Mythbuster with creating cool pop culture projects within the span of a single day as accurately as he can – and it’s safe to say that he hit the nail on the head with this one. Over the course of the hour-long video, which was shortened for time constraints, Savage shows exactly how he made the axe, from cutting and shaping the wood to the formation of the blade, all the way down to the painting, which seemed to be the finishing touch that gave it a hyperrealistic look. For the blade, no metal was used. Instead, he opted for a special kind of foam called Sintra, which is light, durable, flexible, and “perfect for cosplaying,” according to Savage. This was more than likely done for safety reasons – if it was made out of metal, it would probably be classified as a full-blown weapon and banned at potential conventions, regardless of how sharp it actually was. The result of the whole process is an axe that looks like it was ripped right out of the game – and to say that it’s impressive is an understatement. Here’s hoping that Adam makes more of these game weapons in the future, because if this is anything to go by, then one can only imagine what he could do with other iconic video game artifacts.

Myth takes hilarious jab at xQc’s Among Us rants with perfect impression – Dexerto
Myth takes hilarious jab at xQc’s Among Us rants with perfect impression Instagram: Myth / InnerSloth / Instagram: xqcow1TSM’s Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani has struck gold once again as his near-flawless impersonation of fellow streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel blew the lobby away in a recent Among Us stream. [jwplayer s3Kl6oQO] Among Us has taken Twitch by storm over the past few weeks as many of the biggest personalities have flocked to the title. While xQc was initially leading the charge in terms of viewership, Myth has always been close behind, streaming to thousands of viewers on a near-daily basis. One thing Myth has built a reputation for as a result of the Among Us hype: impressions. From others in his lobby to random Twitch personalities, he’s never afraid of taking on the voice of someone else. Naturally, that comes in handy in a game all about getting players on your side. While Myth has adopted the tone and delivery of xQc in the past, his latest delivery might be the most impressive yet. From Amaz to Dakotaz, every other streamer in the lobby was left stunned. “”Do it in @xQc’s voice!”” @TSM_Myth lives to entertain 🤣pic.twitter.com/8uCQewhsEa — Dexerto (@Dexerto) November 2, 2020 With a new round having only just kicked off, two players were killed in the opening round. With eight others in the lobby, anyone could have been an imposter. When questioned on his positioning, Myth was asked to explain himself in xQc’s voice. “Ok dude… so listen,” he said without hesitation. Immediately his voice had changed up, the pace of his speech was completely different, even how loud he spoke was different in order to match xQc. As others laughed over his speech, he raised his voice to stop them all, just like the Canadian streamer would. “How would I get to Medbay?” Myth asked, taking intentional pauses between almost every word. “It makes zero sense. Ok dude, vote me off dude, I give up, this lobby is ridiculous dude.” After voting for himself to complete the impression, everyone else in the lobby chimed in with some serious praise. “That was really good, you should have been xQc for Halloween.” One player even unmuted their microphone to give Myth credit for his acting chops. “That was the best thing I’ve ever heard.” While the impression itself was amusing, it actually worked in his favor as well. While some players may have been suspicious at the start, the self-vote bait led to everyone else skipping their votes. Myth, or should we say xQc, survived through to the next round as a result.

Myth wants more boxing fights after winning at Ludwig’s Chessboxing Championship – Dexerto
Myth wants more boxing fights after winning at Ludwig’s Chessboxing Championship Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani has revealed he’s open to more influencer boxing events following his debut win at Ludwig’s Chessboxing Championship. Ludwig’s highly anticipated Chessboxing Championship event on December 11 certainly lived up to its hype. Absolutely smashing his own viewership records, it’s clear that the event was a success. The YouTube star put his own spin on influencer boxing, which has seen a massive surge in popularity in the last few years, putting some of our favorite content creators head-to-head while alternating between a round of chess and a round of boxing. Arguably one of the most entertaining bouts of the night was between Myth and Cherdleys, where the two put on an exciting show that fans will definitely remember. The pair aren’t exactly the greatest chess players but certainly made it up to fans in the boxing rounds. The bout ultimately came to end as Myth won via time advantage over his opponent during a chess round. Myth reveals he’s open to more Influencer Following the fight, Myth caught up with Dexerto to reflect on his first-ever bout and the event as a whole. As it turns out, the popular streamer isn’t ready to hang up his gloves just yet, revealing he’s open to more influencer boxing events in the future. “It feels amazing, it’s an honor. It was a lot of fun. It was just really cool to enter a different role and do something I’ve never done before and kind of give it my all,” Myth said. “I told Cherdleys before we fought I think he’s a showman. I think to some degree I am as well. I care about winning, but I do care about putting on a good show and it was nice to kind of have us in there together, wanting to give a good show.” When asked if he was up for more influencer boxing, there was no hesitation from the YouTube streamer. “Yeah, hell yeah,” he emphatically answered. It’s unclear when we’ll next see Myth touch gloves, but there are certainly a ton of opportunities for him to get involved with influencer boxing.

Myth shocks fans with “flawless” xQc impression – Dexerto
Myth shocks fans with “flawless” xQc impression Youtube: Myth / Twitch: Brittt / Twitch: xQcYouTube streamer and former Fortnite pro Myth wowed viewers as he absolutely nailed his xQc impression at a cafe. Myth climbed to fame as he dominated the Fortnite scene competitively and as a content creator scene, whipping 90s and hitting 200 pumps. But after the streamer came to the conclusion that his career as a content creator and the future of Fortnite didn’t align, Myth moved away from the giant Esports gaming team TSM to instead stream whatever he wanted, playing a variety of different games that are still primarily shooters. Myth also showcased his talent at impersonations on Brittt’s IRL stream while relaxing at a cafe with friends. Myth shocked fans with spot-on XQC impersonation Myth sat at a cafe table when suddenly viewers could hear what sounded like xQc’s voice. “Nice man, where are you from? What do you do?” Myth speedily said, mirroring the Quebac accent of xQc to such a degree that fans in his chat went wild, and so did the people sitting around him, who sat with mouths wide open in shock. “That’s xQc,” Brittt said as she pointed at Myth. Myth, seeing his fans loving the impression, continued to pretend to get to know his friend: “Ahh, okay so you like streaming, gaming.” All the while, fans couldn’t get over how similar he sounded to the real xQc. While Myth has received some criticism for the amount he does the impressions, fans couldn’t deny that it still wows them every time: “People say it’s his one shtick but man it’s actually so good.” Though Myth has had a lot of time to practice with this impersonation, unveiling it to his stream all the way back in 2019, and it has only gotten better since.

Myth stunned after Valorant stream sniper reveals how they get into his matches – Dexerto
Myth stunned after Valorant stream sniper reveals how they get into his matches Twitch: Myth/Riot GamesTwitch star Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani was left blown away after a stream sniper revealed how they’ve been able to get into all his recent Valorant games despite his best efforts to avoid them. Over the years, the art of stream sniping has been taken to new levels across different communities on Twitch. There are, of course, some helpful stream snipers who want to carry a streamer through a game, but there are others who just want to troll too and get their moment in the spotlight. In a bid to combat stream snipers, streamers will often put a delay on their broadcast or hide their screen when they’re searching for a game. Though, these practices don’t always help. In the case of Myth, he’s dealing with a stream sniper who can’t really be dealt with as they’re using code to find when he’s queuing up in Valorant, which shocked the former TSM star. Myth had to deal with the stream sniper, again, during his June 3 stream, where he finally questioned them on how they keep finding their way into his game. The stream sniper revealed that their friend had written a program using the game’s API, which allows them to queue at the same time as Myth and join his game as if they were queuing together. This, unsurprisingly, shocked Myth. “What the f**k? Dude, I was wondering bro,” a stunned Myth said. “I always wondered how the f**k you were able to get into every queue even when I had a delay on and I was covering (my screen).” The stream sniper further shocked Myth by noting how he’d gotten into a recent game where the queue fell apart before he even showed his team. “I hate this so much,” he replied. While some stream snipers have become fixtures on streams – who can ever forget Shroud’s ‘Banana man’ troll from PUBG – their presence isn’t always welcome. Plus, using the game’s API could land the sniper and their pal in trouble with Riot Games, never mind just drawing the ire of Myth.

Myth reveals his unique way of dealing with bullies – Dexerto
Myth reveals his unique way of dealing with bullies Myth has become known as one of the most entertaining streamers on Twitch since he blew up as one of Team SoloMid’s first professional Fortnite players, but he’s revealed that he used to have trouble with bullies in school – and how he dealt with them. Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani was once considered one of the best Fortnite players in the world, revolutionizing the way players approached building in the game whilst remaining a beacon of pure entertainment to his viewers. Although he might not be atop the competitive Fortnite totem pole anymore, Myth is still a hugely popular streamer and continues to grind the battle royale title that made him so popular. But he might not have always been that popular. In a live stream on October 17, Myth was discussing bullying with his viewers when he said that he faced some bullies in middle school, but had come up with a unique way of dealing with them when they targeted him. “I just went along with what the bullies wanted,” he said. “I didn’t do it, but I would say that I would do it. They always said ‘suck my…’, and I’d be like ‘Let’s go! Your boys want in aswell? I’m down!’” Myth went on to explain that it works, because “most of these alpha bullies, they don’t expect that, so they kind of get weirded out. So you completely flip the dynamic of the power move.” The streamer continued joking with his chat about it but clarified that it was something he did and, after it worked, he went on to get on well with the bullies once they had all grown up a bit in high school. While it’s worth noting that this may have been Myth’s way of handling things, it’s not for everyone. Myth is definitely just a unique character in himself.

Myth shares perfect response to viewer who asks him to “open his eyes” – Dexerto
Myth shares perfect response to viewer who asks him to “open his eyes” TSM streamer Ali “Myth” Kabbani had the perfect response when a viewer asked why he doesn’t open his eyes up all the way. On any given day as a streamer, you’re going to be bombarded with questions and some of them can be incredibly weird. When somebody has thousands of unique viewers a day, there’s bound to be something interesting that pops up during a stream. For example, Team SoloMid streamer Myth was questioned about why he doesn’t open his eyes up, which is a strange question for sure, but he was prepared with the perfect explanation. “When I open my eyes I look like a f**king crackhead, alright,” he said. “That’s why they hang low because when I do this I look like I’m gonna eat your f**cking face off some bath salts b*tch.” It sounds like this isn’t the first time Myth has been asked a question like this considering he had this explanation teed up right away. It’s hard to imagine any world where Myth’s chat expected that type of response, but that’s exactly what they got. That said, he does look a little spooky when he opens his eyes up all the way, so we can’t blame him too much for not wanting them exposed like that all the time. Myth is easily one of the most entertaining streamers on all of Twitch so he treats his viewers to comedic moments like this on the regular. In fact, the entire TSM house is full of entertaining streamers. Both Hamlinz and Daquan have massive audiences that watch them, even if they haven’t been streaming regularly Read More: Shroud reveals why he stopped playing Halo. – For much of 2019, Myth was the only one that consistently streamed out of the group but going into 2020, the whole house vows to commit a lot more energy to streaming, with Daquan saying he has big plans for the year. This is only good news for Twitch viewers so let’s see if they are able to deliver on their promise.

Myth performs disturbingly accurate James Charles & NICKMERCS impressions – Dexerto
Myth performs disturbingly accurate James Charles & NICKMERCS impressions Ali Kabbani, better known by his online handle Fortnite community’s top streamers – but he’s more than a top player, as shown by his humorous hidden talent. The internet is chock full of top personalities, including the likes of YouTube documentarian Shane Dawson, streamer Imane “Pokimane” Anys, and makeup mogul Jeffree Star, among others. However, Myth tried his hand at impersonating a beauty guru of a different kind, giving a hilarious imitation of YouTuber James Charles during a broadcast on October 18. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/B3cd1TzHUiK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkIn keeping with Charles’ signature personality and “sister” slogan, Myth’s impression of the beauty tuber was spot-on, including his unique vocal intonations and YouTube intro for a faux makeup launch. “Hey Sisters,” Myth parroted. “So today I have a brand-new makeup line that I would be so excited to share with you guys today.” That wasn’t his only celebrity impression, either: Myth also copied popular Fortnite streamer Nick “NICKMERCS” Kolcheff in a gut-busting segment that saw his entire body language change, with the streamer kneeling to place his head just out of frame of the camera as though in an intense Duos game. “I swear to god, my house – guess what?” he began, giving his voice a deep gravel to sound just like the streaming star. “There’s a bear in the stars, dude. In the stars, bro. No sh*t! …we’re gonna get this dub, I’m going for high ground.” Myth continued his fake Fortnite game before shouting “HONAYYY!” in perfect NICKMERCS style, going on to comment on what the streamer would probably think of his impression, should he come across the clip. “MERCS doesn’t eat apple sauce, brah,” he continued. “If he saw me doing this sh*t, he’d call me a b**ch.” While both Mercs and Charles have yet to respond to Myth’s humorous impersonations, these moments are just two of many gut-busting instances from his own broadcast, with the streamer known for getting a laugh out of his audience due to his unpredictable hijinks.

Myth reveals how he plans to claim Tfue’s top spot on Twitch – Dexerto
Myth reveals how he plans to claim Tfue’s top spot on Twitch As one of the world’s biggest streamers, Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani has millions of fans and boasts the second most followers on Twitch. Now, he has eyes for the site’s top spot, and has revealed a cheeky plan to knock stream-king Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney off his perch. Following Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek’s shock move to rival streaming website Mixer last week, Myth found himself stepping straight into Twitch’s silver-spot behind Tfue, who himself claimed first place after Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins abdicated the throne on August 1. After moving into second place, Myth seemed to set his eyes on the Twitch crown. The only problem is, Myth’s 5.5 million followers pale in comparison to Tfue’s platform-leading 7.1 million, all of which has been tracked by streaming analytics website TwitchMetrics. Kabbani took the time to celebrate his promotion to second-place after shroud’s departure, sharing that he was “now the second most followed Twitch streamer” on October 27, before attempting to set the wheels in motion for his cheeky plan. Read more: Destiny megastar Cory ‘KingGothalion‘ Michael, Myth seemed to realize he could use that to his advantage. With the 1.6 million-follower bridge potentially a hefty one to break down if he wanted to put his name atop the Twitch leaderboard, the Team SoloMid star instead called on the Microsoft-owned streaming company to make just one more move to help him out. “@WatchMixer get this Tfue guy the f*ck outta here for me,” Myth asked on Twitter, knowing if Tfue departed for Mixer he would have a clear path straight to the top. “Please, and thank you.” I would like to announce that I am now the 2nd most followed twitch streamer…@WatchMixer get this @TTfue guy the fuck outta here for me. Please and thank you. :love: — Myth (@TSM_Myth) October 28, 2019 The TSM star’s lighthearted jibe at Mixer and Tfue may have been in good fun, but streaming fans across the internet are already trying to puzzle out who Mixer may claim next. Superstar names like Imane ‘World of Warcraft personality Asmongold have been thrown around as potential choices, while Dr Disrespect told his followers to “do your damn research” before linking him to a cashed-up platform swap. Read more: Fortnite star. Whether or not Tfue, or any other major Twitch star for that matter, leaves their long-term tenure at Twitch for the new shores of Mixer, it seems the broadcasting platform has already achieved its aim — fans across the internet can’t stop talking about the website. And for Myth, the boost into second is an added bonus, and one he’s sure to take full advantage of as he continues to make the switch from Fortnite, into a full-fledged variety streamer. – – Read more: Fortnite star. –

Myth wants KEEMSTAR to host new community esports tournament, this time on CS:GO – Dexerto
Myth wants KEEMSTAR to host new community esports tournament, this time on CS:GO TSM Myth, Twitch / KEEMSTAR, TwitterDrama Alert’s Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem is no stranger to esports, as evidenced by his past tournaments – but Fortnite pro TSM Myth is asking for a unique take on his competitive gaming events. Team SoloMid’s Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani raised a suggestion to KEEMSTAR on April 3, where he asked him to host a 5v5 CS:GO tournament – but not with esports athletes. “Okay, I know like the entire community is up in flames right now, but how lit would it be if KEEMSTAR put together a 5v5 CS:GO tournament with all your favorite content creators?” Myth Tweeted. Okay I know like the entire community is up in flames right now but how lit would it be if @KEEMSTAR put together a 5v5 csgo tournament with all your favorite content creators. 😀 — Myth (@TSM_Myth) April 4, 2019 Myth’s suggestion soon gained ample traction across the community, with the likes of popular Twitch streamer NICKMERCS and FaZe content creator Teeqo responding in favor of the event. “Lit, I’m runnin’ it down mid with a P90,” NICKMERCS said of the idea, while Teeqo gave an enthusiastic “heart eyes” in reply. While KEEMSTAR didn’t respond with any concrete details for the potential event, he made sure to retweet Myth’s Tweet on the subject, amping fans up for a possible tournament featuring the scene’s biggest content creators. Commenters also suggested their favorite creators in the space for the tournament, tagging the likes of Twitch streamer and former CS:GO pro Michael ‘Shroud’ Grzesiek and Team Liquid Fortnite pro ‘Poach,’ among others. While KEEMSTAR appeared to entertain the idea, it wouldn’t be the first esports tournament he’s held; in fact, KEEMSTAR’s ‘Friday Fortnite’ initiative was incredibly popular, before he took issue with Epic Games banning third-party tournaments from awarding prize pools greater than $10,000 in Summer 2018. While Friday Fortnite may have come to a halt, KEEMSTAR hasn’t given up on tourneys altogether; he also acted as referee for MrBeast’s $200,000 YouTuber airsoft battle royale, which pitted 13 teams of three top YouTubers each against each other in a battle sponsored by Apex Legends. KEEMSTAR even spoke on a potential ‘Minecraft Mondays’ survival event in a Tweet prior to Myth’s suggestion, jokingly shunning the idea in favor of a ‘Hunger Games’ tournament – although whether he meant a real-life rendition of the series or was merely referencing the website is still up in the air.

Myth leaves TSM after 3 years as content creator – Dexerto
Myth leaves TSM after 3 years as content creator TSM/MythStreamer Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani has announced he won’t be re-signing with TSM going into 2022. Myth signed with TSM (Team SoloMid) in January of 2018 and has created a metric ton of content for the esports org since. In that time he’s also amassed more than 7.4 million followers on Twitch, becoming one of the tops streamers on the site. On December 27 however, TSM and Kabbani announced they would be parting ways in 2022. Myth leaves TSM https://twitter.com/TSM/status/1475586690257465345?s=20 Despite all the good times he’s had with TSM, Myth explained the reasons for his departure in a video posted by the org itself on Twitter. “TSM sort of lost that family feel that I had with it, and that was a really big deal,” he explained. “I felt like I wasn’t really utilized in an efficient manner, I stopped being someone that was in TSM content a lot.” So, what’s next for Myth? He didn’t mention any specifics in the video, but he did say he wanted to focus on finding himself as a content creator. “I wanna go a different direction where I really find myself in the scene and figure out what I like doing,” he said, though exactly how that will look remains to be seen. “It’s been a good run” Myth went on to say that his time with TSM had definitely “changed his life forever” making him into basically a household name on Twitch. “Thank you TSM for allowing me to be honest and open in this announcement video,” Kabbani replied. “I’ll always be grateful for what we’ve been able to accomplish together.” There’s still the big question of what org he’ll sign with now, or if he’ll try to go it alone. Either way, we should find out sometime soon in 2022 what his future plans actually are.

Myth justifies surprising decision to unfollow everyone on social media – Dexerto
Myth justifies surprising decision to unfollow everyone on social media Instagram: MythAli ‘Myth’ Kabbani is taking a new approach on social media, as the popular TSM content creator has revealed why he felt it was time to “experiment” by unfollowing everyone on all of his accounts. Myth is one of the most popular content creators on the internet. The 21-year-old boasts over seven million followers on both Twitch and Instagram, with another four million subscribers on YouTube as well. He’s grown a massive community with his energetic vibes and impressive gameplay, but Myth just made a drastic change. Across all social media accounts, the content creator has now wiped the slate clean. He no longer follows any streamer pals, no business contacts, or anyone in between. Myth follows a grand total of zero accounts across all of his platforms. Why make such a sudden change? Myth explained it all in a series of tweets on December 2. In a difficult year as it is, he felt it was the right time to “experiment with having zero people followed across [his] social media sites.” I also think that with corona virus I’ve had some of the loneliest moments of my entire life. And tbh social media doesn’t make that feeling any better, at least with the way I currently process / use it. It just ends up making me feel like other people got it better / aren’t… — Myth (@Myth_) December 2, 2020 One of the main factors behind this decision was to stop himself from “comparing” to others. It can be easy to see idyllic Instagram posts, for instance, and feel a little down in the dumps by comparison. Everyone can empathize with that experience these days. So in order to block it out, his social media is now wiped clean. The current global crisis certainly didn’t help either. “I’ve had some of the loneliest moments of my life,” he explained. “Social media doesn’t make that feeling any better, at least with the way I currently use it. It just ends up making me feel like other people got it better” Obviously, most social media personalities are often sharing the highlights in their lives. Rarely do we see our favorite content creators truly breaking down that barrier and sharing everything. Most of the time, we only see what they want us to see. Myth is well aware of this and understands “that’s not the full reality of things.” Going through what I’m going through really. Which may have some truth but I know that’s not the full reality of things and in general is a really draining mindset to have at times. I wanna eradicate it. — Myth (@TSM_Myth) December 2, 2020 Despite this, it’s still a “really draining mindset to have,” he explained. “I wanna eradicate it.” In light of his transparency, countless others reached out to commend his decision. “You’re an amazing streamer,” Dakotaz followed up. “Do whatever you gotta do.” https://twitter.com/dakotaz/status/1334185722497077249 While Myth has unfollowed everyone, he wanted to stress that he’ll still be active and interacting with his fanbase. “I can still see and appreciate comments and messages,” he added. Don’t expect Myth to keep his accounts this clean forever though. It may be a solid reprieve during this chaotic year, but even he joked that in “six months [he’ll] definitely be back” to his usual ways.

Myth hits back at Ninja for slamming his viewership after moving to YouTube – Dexerto
Myth hits back at Ninja for slamming his viewership after moving to YouTube YouTube: Myth, NinjaInternet star Myth has hit back at Ninja for comments he made during a stream with TimTheTatman and Cloakzy about Myth’s viewership after his move to YouTube. Just a few years ago, Myth skyrocketed in popularity thanks to his skills in Fortnite alongside former Twitch stars Hamlinz and Daequan. He’s since switched to more varied content and signed an exclusive contract with YouTube Gaming in July 2022. During a stream with TimTheTatman and Cloakzy, Ninja slammed Myth’s viewership since his move to YouTube, and Myth was quick to hit back at the comment. Myth hits back at Ninja after comment on stream In a now-viral clip where Ninja was reportedly under the influence, the internet star was going off on FaZe Ronaldo’s viewership when he slid a comment in about Myth following his move to YouTube. “Like Myth, he went to YouTube, and what happened? That’s you right now,” Ninja said before Tim stopped him from continuing. Myth quickly hit back in a quote retweet of the clip on his Twitter page. “It’s crazy having someone that experienced such massive up and downs in their career and knows exactly what it does to you mentally to be shitting on others that aren’t as ‘successful’ as he is,” he commented. Myth continued his thoughts in a reply to someone mentioning that Ninja was drunk: “Being drunk while saying or doing things doesn’t excuse your actions. “He’s allowed to learn from this, and I can still call out his bs.” Ninja has yet to respond to Myths comments, but we’ll update you if he does. The streaming mogul sparked a bit of backlash from FaZe Ronaldo as well, who called Ninja a “little b*tch.”

Myth hits back at Symfuhny after “soy boy” xQc impression – Dexerto
Myth hits back at Symfuhny after “soy boy” xQc impression Twitch: Myth / Twitter: symfuhnyDuring his October 6 stream, Mason ‘Symfuhny’ Lanier scored a victory over Twitch star Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani in Fortnite’s Zone Wars, when his celebration was cut short after being roasted for his weak Félix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel impression. On September 26, Epic Games released Zone Wars mode in Fortnite, which allows groups to matchmake with random people in a head-to-head battle to see which individual comes up on top after multiple rounds. Symfuhny won his match after grouping up with Myth who came in third place, however the victory was short lived after his attempt to sound like xQc fell flat, and the Team SoloMid star jokingly called him out over it. xQc impression gets called out The Twitch streamer had just secured first place, when he turned towards his camera and yelled “Hey easy clap!” which sounded like Overwatch pro xQc, who uses a similar expression Immediately, Myth shot back with a spot-on impression of xQc: “Easy clap dude! It’s like he’s trying to do an xQc impression but doesn’t have the f*ckin’ voice, little soy boy f*ckin’ cuck lord dude!” The NRG pro was gobsmacked while his mouth hung open, after his friend hilariously destroyed him after his impression attempt. But it was all in good fun, as Myth laughed at his partner’s look of shock. Symfuhny then joked “That’s it, I need some scissors for your new hoodie, pal. Your hoodie is getting chopped up too!” The Fortnite pro screamed “No!” repeatedly, as the two laughed over the exchange. The NRG pro then revealed he actually met xQc at TwitchCon, to which his friend replied “I met him twice at TwitchCon. I met him once, then touched him physically twice.” Symfuhny shouldn’t feel too bad, as Myth has perfected his xQc impressions after doing so during multiple streams. On his August 24 broadcast, the Team SoloMid star busted out a 1:1 identical copy of the Canadian’s voice, which shocked his chat. Later on during that same day, xQc then watched the streamers impression of him, and had a wholesome reaction after being impressed by it. “That’s actually good!” he laughed. The two then hilariously met up at TwitchCon 2019 as they both screamed the Overwatch pro’s iconic “Dude!” to each other. The whole thing was in jest, as xQc seems to continue to be high demand these days and Myth is clearly the undisputed champion of being his clone.

Myth grossed out after visiting xQc’s streaming set-up: “What the f**k” – Dexerto
Myth grossed out after visiting xQc’s streaming set-up: “What the f**k” Twitch: MythTwitch star Ali ‘Myth’ Kabani was left pretty disgusted when he finally got the chance to visit xQc’s stream set-up in person, describing it in a pretty unusual way. As he’s risen up the Twitch ranks, becoming arguably the biggest English-speaking streamer around, xQc hasn’t always had time to make sure that his streaming set-up is in tip-top condition. The former Overwatch star has had many backgrounds over the years, starting small in Canada before heading to the United States and streaming in front of a vertical mattress while in LA. Though, one thing has remained consistent, it isn’t always that tidy. Over the years, xQc has disgusted fans with trash and mold-covered plates that have been left around his room. While it’s not the worst that Twitch has ever seen – other streamers have literally not cleaned their rooms in years – it’s certainly enough to leave some fans, and friends, retching. Myth disgusted by xQc’s Twitch streaming room In the case of Myth, who does the best xQc impression on the internet, he went to visit his long-time pal in person and finally ventured into his new streaming room – which is a part of Ludwig’s house. However, he took to Twitter to voice his dismay at the stench that he encountered. “You would not believe me if I told you what this room smelt like… what the f**k xQc,” he tweeted, with a photo of the room attached. “It smells like juicer soup,” Myth added a few moments later, which is certainly quite the description. Some fans urged him to quickly leave the room, seeing as xQc isn’t feeling all that well at the moment. That, of course, prompted some sympathy from Myth. “Wait I did not know this sh*t was going on,” he added. “I feel kinda bad for posting knowing that he’s mad sick rn. Feel better X.” His pal didn’t respond to the tweets, but you can be sure that it’ll probably get cleaned up now that Myth has put the room publicly on blast.

Myth hilariously challenges shroud to boxing match after Valorant trash talk – Dexerto
Myth hilariously challenges shroud to boxing match after Valorant trash talk Twitch: Shroud / MythTSM content creator Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani hilariously challenged Michael ‘shroud’ Grseziek to a fight after the former CSGO pro called him “TSM’s number one water boy.” Perhaps one of the strangest developments in recent times is seeing content creators look to resolve feuds through boxing matches. This most famously kicked off with the KSI vs Logan Paul boxing matches, the first of which had their respective brothers, Deji and Jake, on the undercard. It has since spurred both KSI and the Paul brothers to start full careers in the sport, with Logan set to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. in June. However, as Fnatic were on the verge of defeating Korean side NUTURN in Valorant Masters, arguably the most unexpected battle yet was proposed: Myth challenged shroud to face him off in a fight for the ages. As shroud was co-streaming the VCT Masters 2 matchup between NUTURN and Fnatic, and with Fnatic at match point, Myth joined the voice chat to supply his knowledge to shroud’s viewers. However, as soon as he joined, shroud couldn’t resist taking a dig at the Fortnite legend. “Oh here we go dude,” he said. “TSM’s number one f***ing water boy.” But shroud couldn’t keep up the false hostility for long, as he instantly regretted the insult. “I’m so sorry, I don’t know what happened to me man, but I just want to apologize,” he pleaded through laughter. And Myth was rattled. “Listen here you son of a b*tch,” he shouted. “You’ve got one year, get in the gym, we’re gonna have Twitch’s first f***ing North American streamer boxing fight, I’m gonna punch you. Goodbye.” Myth then promptly left the chat, leaving shroud and guests Hiko, Just9n, and n0thing in absolute hysterics. While this was obviously just a joke, there’s little doubt fans would love to see a punch up between two of the most iconic content creators on Twitch. For what it’s worth, our money’s on Myth.

Myth explains why he left Twitch for YouTube Gaming – Dexerto
Myth explains why he left Twitch for YouTube Gaming YouTube: MythAli ‘Myth’ Kabbani was once one of the faces of Twitch during Fortnite’s heyday. He’s still a prominent force in streaming — but now in the red colors of YouTube Gaming — with the star explaining why money was the ultimate factor in his platform swap. After a legacy of streaming on Twitch, popular streamer Myth has committed to streaming exclusively on YouTube. The jump from Team Purple to Team Red has been a popular one in the gaming space ever since Dr Disrespect was practically exiled to the Google-owned platform. In the years since, big names from TimtheTatman to Ludwig and LilyPichu have changed allegiances. Myth is the latest in that long chain as YouTube tries to break into the streaming marketplace and there was one big reason why he took the offer — the sheer amount of money. “So first things first, why did I move over?” Myth said on his debut YouTube stream, getting right to the topic at hand. “We all know the answer to that question: the f**king bag bro!” When discussing the amount, Myth states “it was an amount that would have been stupid of me to turn down.” While he won’t disclose the exact amount, and is attempting to stay on the conservative side, it’s evident he’s ecstatic with the number — the man danced with happiness on stream when thinking about the money. Outside of monetary reasons, Myth states that it was “a choice that made sense on a lot of levels.” When pondering the move, he asked himself questions about where he is, where he sees himself going, and who he is as a creator. During his discussion with the YouTube team, he confidently stated that they understand his vision, and he understands theirs. “In general, I just felt like they were a team that was genuinely invested in who I am and what I could bring to the table in terms of content creation and personality.” What does it ultimately mean for the streamer wars though? Though many big name streamers are making the move, Twitch’s ecosystem will likely remain unphased by their competition — even if it seems concerning.

Myth gives hilarious explanation on how to join TSM – Dexerto
Myth gives hilarious explanation on how to join TSM Myth, Twitch / TSMPopular Twitch streamer Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani is a professional Fortnite player for American esports org Team SoloMid, which one viewer was curious about during his broadcast. As one of the most popular Fortnite streamers on Twitch, it comes as no surprise that he gets questions about his success, as evidenced by this viewer’s query. The viewer asked him about joining the team – specifically, how he came to find a place on the org. “‘Cause it’s your dream,” Myth answered sarcastically. In keeping with his bombastic personality, Myth went on to give fans the “insider scoop” on joining a competitive team, played to a backdrop of ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ by Queen. “Step one: be good at the video game,” Myth began in a mock-serious tone. “Step two: make sure people know you’re good at the video game and get clout. Step three: wait for TSM to DM you in the Twitter DMs.” That wasn’t the end of Myth’s advice; he went on to comment on players’ personalities outside the game, cautioning them against being a “f*cking PR nightmare.” “Step five: Don’t be a racist publicly,” he went on, laughing. TSM Myth is a popular Twitch streamer and professional Fortnite player for Team SoloMid. Myth’s hot tips come just after TSM released pro Fortnite player ‘Cowboy,’ following allegations that accused him of sending inappropriate messages towards an underage streamer in early March. Yesterday Cowboy was officially released and is no longer affiliated with us. — TSM (@TSM) March 6, 2019 While Cowboy defended himself against the claims and denied any accusations of being a pedophile, TSM President Leena Xu later came forward with a statement on the matter, writing that she’d taken evidence of the messages to Cowboy’s lawyer before terminating their contract.

Myth explains why he doesn’t want to leave Twitch for another platform – Dexerto
Myth explains why he doesn’t want to leave Twitch for another platform Twitch: MythAli ‘Myth’ Kabbani is one of Twitch’s biggest names, and if he could have it his way, he’d remain there forever, telling the OfflineTV podcast that he would need a big offer to think about moving to Mixer, YouTube, Facebook, or elsewhere. Twitch’s hold on the streaming industry has become progressively weaker over the past year. Since Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins made the jump to Mixer in 2019, plenty of other streamers have jumped platforms in search of the best possible offers. However, one streamer fast-becoming Twitch’s biggest ally is Myth. For him, the streaming platform is the site that started it all, and the streamer has pledged his allegiance to the service — for now — on the OfflineTV podcast. “I really like Twitch,” he said. “Twitch is like my fucking home man. I grew up in middle school watching streams every day before breakfast, before going out to school. It was like seventh, eighth grade. “I remember watching Black Ops 2 streams, on release, like religiously. So much of me is emotionally invested into Twitch that it’d be hard to leave.” With that kind of bond with a service, it can be awfully hard to pick up sticks and move on, especially when you have a dedicated fanbase that tunes into every single one of your broadcasts. To Myth, it’s bigger than money. Myth’s comments come as the streaming war heats up again in 2020. Last week, Twitch made two big moves by securing Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys and ‘Dr Disrespect’ for the coming years, locking them away from their competitors. However, as Facebook streamer Jeremy ‘Disguised Toast’ Wang mentioned, the Amazon-owned streaming service only has a finite amount of money to hand out to top streamers they want exclusivity over. “[Twitch] only have so much money unless they want to hit up papa Bezos,” he said. “They’re going to have to decide who to keep…or [whether they can’t] match Microsoft, Google, or Facebook.” For mobile readers, the related segment begins at 21:17. The TSM-affiliated streamer did let loose that he has some “money moves” in mind, with the vague response only adding fuel to the flames. However, he didn’t go deep into where he could be heading. By all accounts, given his love for Twitch, he could stay. However, if the right deal comes along, Myth might side with the money to make sure he can keep providing the same quality content for fans without burning out. Only time will tell.

Myth explains why it feels like he “pulled the lotto” with Twitch career – Dexerto
Myth explains why it feels like he “pulled the lotto” with Twitch career Twitch: MythAli ‘Myth’ Kabbani was once the King of Fortnite. However, long after his legacy on the game has faded into history, he’s still managed to keep his place at the top of Twitch. How, do you ask? He just got lucky and “pulled the lotto.” Myth’s streaming career has been up-and-down, to say the least. Once, he was at the top of Twitch, with people tuning in across the world as he made his place in Fortnite. However, as he fell off the map, so did his fanbase. He needed some time to adapt. Instead, he started building a community around his personality. It’s paid off. The TSM star streamer is still relatively grounded with his successes though. He took some time to take it in on a recent stream — wondering just how he got away with his Twitch success heist. “Honestly, I’ve done a great job of keeping my Twitch career going. I’m talking the top of Fortnite, to the bottom of the barrel, and hey, we’re still here dude,” he said triumphantly on a September 24 stream. Myth claimed that while he was at the top of Fortnite, he wasn’t actually good at the game — everyone else was just bad as they picked up the battle royale. However, it was enough of a base that he could build off, and he even said he “didn’t even have to try.” “Other streamers had to be pros and actually be good at the game that they play. I was a pro, I was sh*t, and I’m still here baby. I really pulled the f**king lotto card on you b*tches. I don’t know how I did it, I didn’t even have to try.” He even joked that he still gets people flocking to his stream to say he’s a Fortnite god, which he indulges in, even if only to keep up the “immersion.” However, he couldn’t be any happier with where he landed with streaming. “I don’t know what it is. Y’all find me funny I don’t know. I’ll still have the occasional ‘Myth you’re good at Fortnite’ — that’s cap, but I ain’t gonna ruin the immersion, thanks bro. If that’s what you think brother, take it.” The honorary TSM Valorant “coach” and Among Us pro still ranks in the cash, with nearly 4,000 current subs, and over 5,000 tuning in to his every stream. He’s doing well for himself where so many fell off, and while he’s grateful for his success, he also realizes it took him a dash of luck too.

Myth ditches Twitch with exclusive YouTube deal – Dexerto
Myth ditches Twitch with exclusive YouTube deal Myth, TwitterIt’s official – Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani has officially signed an exclusive streaming deal with YouTube Gaming, leaving Twitch behind. This is just the latest in a long list of Twitch stars to change platform – and we’re not talking about shroud and Ninja to Mixer. TimTheTatman, Dr Disrespect, Ludwig, CouRage, DrLupo, as well as a number of other high-profile content creators have made the move, for one reason or another. He announced the news on July 11, tweeting: “This is my decision.” Below it was a trailer prompting fans to check out his YouTube channel, where he will be going live exclusively moving forward. The announcement appears to have gone down well with streamers and viewers alike, too. TimTheTatman was quick to reply, calling it a “W” in the replies. DrLupo said: “WELCOME, LET’S GO BABY!” YouTube Gaming also chimed in, stating that the new signing was “one we’re especially excited about!” Twitch also responded: “Here’s wishing you nothing but lots of mythLove and continued success on the next chapter of your quest.” In a separate tweet, YouTube’s Head of Gaming, said: “Today we welcome Myth to YouTube Gaming. I’ve loved that he has always bet on himself to take his passion to the next level and has continued to evolve his brand despite all the twists and turns.” Myth already has a solid base on his new platform, with over 4.5 million subscribers to his YouTube channel. That said, he is walking away from the seven million plus people who follow his Twich account at the time of writing. How many of those fans will make the move with him remains to be seen – but this represents yet another high-profile acquisition, at the expense of Amazon’s streaming site.

Myth does perfect xQc impression to explain why Fortnite aim assist is OP – Dexerto
Myth does perfect xQc impression to explain why Fortnite aim assist is OP Twitch/Myth/xQcFortnite pro Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani pulled off an epic xQc impersonation during a wild rant about why controller aim assist is broken. French Canadian Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is one of Twitch’s top streamers, and has a very distinct accent that involves speaking at super fast speeds, frequently saying the word ‘dude,’ and raging as he talks. “Look at it this way, dude,” he began and started stuttering to emphasize Lengyel’s dialect. “You have an issue with the keyboard and mouse, the sound pads, monitors, right, you have a problem with us, but what you’re not taking into consideration for this very specific situation, and right this down chat,” he rambled. At this point Myth’s chat was already amused at the impression and spamming the LUL emote at will. “You’re not taking into consideration the flux capacitors,” he continued, breaking out the Back to the Future reference. “That take into account the trajectory of the accurate equation to shoot the bullets in the video game within the in-game engine.” Anyone who has ever watched xQc could easily see where Myth was coming from and could probably easily imagine these same words coming from the former Overwatch pro. “If you’re going to have a problem with us complaining – the consoles, dude and the aim assist, then you really need to see it from our perspective. From our perspective, it’s very easy to come to the conclusion that it is actually OP, dude,” he went on. To finish off the rant, Kabbani whipped out an iconic line from many xQc rants. “If you cannot see that then you’re a f**king soy boy c**k!” he screamed. Overall, the impression was pretty much bang on and was of the best xQc takes yet. The Fortnite community has been complaining about the strength of aim assist on console for some time so it’s a hot button topic. Popular streamers like NICKMERCS and even the real xQc have raged against the feature for being “anti-competitive.” And, as it turns out, aim assist makes for great material for an xQc-inspired rant.

Myth confuses everyone with bizarre keybinds for Valorant and Fortnite – Dexerto
Myth confuses everyone with bizarre keybinds for Valorant and Fortnite Instagram: tsm_myth / UnsplashTSM’s Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani left just about everyone confused on March 28, as the popular Twitch streamer shared a video on his PC keybinds. Here’s how — and perhaps more importantly, why — he has such a unique setup. With millions of followers across social media, Myth has long been one of the biggest gaming personalities online. From his time in the Fortnite scene to more recent success in Valorant’s first year, he’s earned his spot among the Top 10 streamers on Twitch. But while the popular figure has been able to hold his own for a number of years, his playstyle is among the most bizarre we’ve ever seen. With his custom keybinds on PC, Myth hasn’t just tweaked a handful of inputs, his entire setup is unique. From his abilities to the basic movement keys, nothing is as you might expect. Here’s how Myth’s setup confused everyone online, along with the origins behind his unique keybinds. TSM Myth’s unusual keybinds Starting out his explanation on Twitter, Myth outlined how his pinky finger is on the Caps Lock more often than not. In Valorant, shift-walking is essential to keep your footsteps silent. Myth does this by holding the Caps key down instead. Rather than tapping the Ctrl key to crouch, Myth opts for the Shift key. Establishing a trend, he then revealed his directional movement keys. ‘2QW3’ is Myth’s ‘WASD’ equivalent. As a result, essentially all other inputs are positioned further up the keyboard. ‘4’ is his key to reload, rather than the standard ‘R’ key. Meanwhile, to swap weapons, he reaches his hand to the very top of the keyboard, tapping the Function keys. Why does Myth use these unconventional keybinds? With fans and fellow Twitch streamers alike left confused by his video, Myth took the chance to follow up and explain why he plays with such a unique setup. “Back when I used to play Fortnite, I used to use WASD like a normal person,” he said. “I started realizing that hitting the ‘D’ key with my right index finger caused me a lot of pain so I decided to move it up.” Instead of fully pressing down, this allowed his index finger to “extend more” and remain somewhat arched. “The problem that I reached after that, was that I started using my thumb for my ‘C’ and ‘V’ keys. That just immediately shifts your hand further up the keyboard,” which then led to more pain in his index finger, Myth explained. “After an eight-hour session, it would be crushed. So then I went up again to ‘2QW3’ and it’s been my home since.” While it might come across as a bizarre setup at first, it seems like Myth’s only real option given his issues in the past. Despite the confusion, it’s working out well enough for him in Valorant and Fortnite, so why fix it if it’s not broken?

Myth and Dakotaz disagree on streamers promoting products to kids – Dexerto
Myth and Dakotaz disagree on streamers promoting products to kids Myth – Stream / DakotazAli ‘Myth‘ Kabbani and Brett ‘Dakotaz‘ Hoffman are two of the biggest Fortnite streamers on Twitch, but they can’t come to an agreement on how online content creators should influence children. Whether parents like it or not, content creators play a massive role in shaping their young viewers’ lives in modern society. With so many of today’s kids constantly watching streamers and YouTubers, especially when it comes to Fortnite, it’s inevitable that what influencers do, say, and promote affect these children’s character and habits. That then brings up the question of how careful do these creators have to be when putting out content, knowing that at least a significant portion of their viewer-base are kids. Read More: Tfue quits Twitch Rivals Fortnite event – That question stirred up a debate on Twitter on August 22 between Myth and Dakotaz, who seem to have a fundamental difference in opinion when it comes to the issue. Myth’s main gripe was was with the promotion of caffeinated products, and how those promoting such products on their channels should also warn children of potential dangers. “I wish more content creators highlighted some of the dangers of caffeine to their young audiences if they are going to be promoting that type of product consistently,” he tweeted. “Caffeine is no joke kids, and you probably don’t need it.” Read More: DrLupo becomes “the face” of Rogue – Dakotaz, who of course has a massive partnership with GFUEL, seemingly had an issue with Myth’s statement, and instead offered a different solution. “By the way, how about we let parents take care of their kids,” he replied. “Parents should take care of their kids,” Myth wrote back. “But influence is a real thing and it’s our line of work.” At this point, Dakotaz decided to take a tongue-in-cheek jab and replied with a GIF of a man holding a Dr. Pepper soft drink and saying “nailed it.” The message he was trying to get across was that Myth’s Team SoloMid was sponsored by the brand, perhaps trying to insinuate that the Fortnite star streamer was being hypocritical. It’s clear that these two certainly have different viewpoints when it comes to managing how they promote products to their young viewers, and they’re likely not the only big-time content creators who disagree. That said, at the end of the day, streamers and YouTubers have the prerogative of pushing their content out as they please, so the onus is on them to do what they think is the right thing.
