CouRage was one of Call of Duty\u2019s most prolific voices when he decided to step away from the scene to become a full-time streamer in early 2018. Looking back on his career as a caster on H3CZ\u2019s new podcast, CouRage talked in-depth about the long thought process that eventually led to him making the jump to stream full time. As CouRage was recounting his career up to this point, he talked about how he came to the realization that he wanted to stream full-time.

When the time comes,\u201d CouRage recalled. \u201cThat always was in the back of my head festering, from 2016 all the way to way I finally made the jump earlier this year.\u201d Before making that jump, CouRage continued casting and ended up rising the ranks to be part of the top casting duo along with Clint \u2018Maven\u2019 Evans. It was during the early stages of the WWII season when his outlook on casting began to change, though. \u201cThe CoD: WWII season was just stupidly long,\u201d CouRage said about the last season of the CWL. \u201cThe second week, I sat with my partner and was like, \u2018I\u2019m about to do this for the next six months and I\u2019m already sick of Ardennes Forest CTF and I have to see that 150,000 more times.\u201d Read More: OpTic\u2019s Scump reveals pictures of his new house while it was still in the building process &#8211; Soon after CouRage came to this realization about the WWII season which ran from December 2017 to August 2018, he received a follow-up call from OpTic about becoming a full-time streamer for the organization. Since CouRage and OpTic had already been in talks prior to this conversation, the offer from OpTic was good enough for CouRage to step away from the CWL and start streaming full-time. The move has been a very profitable and successful one for CouRage as he has risen the ranks as a popular streamer, even getting a $70K donation for winning a game of Fortnite on stream.
