Nick has, at times, been one of the biggest names on Twitch when it comes to Call of Duty. Several years ago, before he blew up in Fortnite, Nick was constantly grinding Search and Destroy tournaments and was one of the most popular names in the scene, barring the top pros. He\u2019s since disavowed the CoD S&#038;D community, calling it \u201chome to some of the dirtiest little creatures on the internet.\u201d In a Twitch stream on November 11, Nick spoke up about Vanguard, why he\u2019d be interested in playing it but ultimately decided to continue his Apex Legends grind rather than join in on the new CoD hype. \u201cEvery year, new Call of Duty comes out, everybody loves it for a week,\u201d he said in a clip that has now started going viral on TikTok. \u201cIt\u2019s just brand new. And I\u2019ve watched, I just don\u2019t think there\u2019s a lot to talk about.\u201d That wasn\u2019t all, though, with Nick suggesting that he could be tempted back in. \u201cThe only thing that I think would really interest me about that pub-style of Call of Duty is those S&#038;D tournaments\u2026 But that community is something I told myself I\u2019d never get back involved with again.\u201d Click here if TikTok won\u2019t load He went on: \u201cI don\u2019t even want to bring my viewership, my people, my community into the S&#038;D world ever again. So I try and stay away from it.\u201d While long-time fans of Nick would love to see him back in the S&#038;D scene and competing against top pros and streamers, he\u2019s never made a secret of his disdain for that community, so it\u2019s no surprise to see him avoiding it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS explains why he won\u2019t play Call of Duty Vanguard Twitch: NICKMERCS\/ActivisionNick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff has explained why he isn\u2019t playing the new Call of Duty: Vanguard \u2014 but has been slightly tempted by it.
