Nadeshot devastated after OpTic H3CZ reveals destroyed MLG trophy L: MLG \/ R: Nadeshot \/ TwitterFormer professional Call of Duty player, Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2018 Haag, has expressed his disappointment after courier service FedEx destroyed one of his tournament winning trophies in transit, revealed by OpTic founder Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2018 Rodriguez. Now the CEO of rival organization 100 Thieves, Nadeshot spent the majority of his playing career with OpTic Gaming, winning a total of eight tournaments across a six-year span at the top of CoD esports. One of his major wins came in his last year of competing, at the Season 1 playoffs in Advanced Warfare, where the dominant OpTic lineup netted $30,000 with their first place finish. In a video posted on April 30, H3CZ explains that he had planned to play a prank on Nadeshot, and was shipping his trophy, but the protection provided by FedEx in the packaging was seriously insufficient to protect the contents. \u201cThey thought they were just going to be able to put paper around this thing,\u201d H3CZ explains, \u201cthis is no laughing matter, the trophy was broken \u2013 FedEx, how are you guys professionals at packing?\u201d Nadeshot, upon seeing the video on Twitter, was stunned, hoping it was all some elaborate prank. Dude\u2026 you\u2019ve gotta be kidding me, man. Tell me this is a joke? \u2014 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) April 29, 2019 A number of other professional players sympathized with Nadeshot, angered by the mistreatment of a fragile valuable, and something that so difficult to replace. I shed a tear watching this, You deserve some equity in the company for that \u2014 Dillon Price (@Attach) April 29, 2019 MLG\u2019s Adam Apicella promises replacement Thankfully, MLG boss Adam Apicella has stepped up, and assured Nadeshot a replacement will be arranged following CWL London. Although there\u2019s nothing quite like the original, it\u2019s a nice gesture from MLG to a player who was so impactful for the growth of Call of Duty esports. As for FedEx, they responded to Rodriguez\u2019 post, expressing their apologies, and stating they would like to help, perhaps in the form of monetary compensation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
