OpTic\u2019s H3CZ explains that he\u2019s \u201con Nade\u2019s side\u201d in falling out with NICKMERCS H3CZ – YouTube \/ Valkyrae – InstagramIt\u2019s no longer a secret that popular streamer Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2018 Kolcheff and 100 Thieves CEO Matt \u2018Nadeshot\u2018 Haag have had a falling out, and OpTic Gaming\u2018s Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2018 Rodriguez has given his take on their situation. One of the biggest topics of discussion in the esports community over the past few days has been the public discord between NICKMERCS and Nadeshot. On May 24, Nick announced that he had parted ways with 100Thieves after three years with the organization, revealing that he wants \u201cnothing to do with\u201d Nadeshot. The sudden nature of the split stunned fans, and it was a topic brought up in the March 27 episode of H3CZ\u2019s popular \u2018The Eavesdrop Podcast,\u2019 in which the CEO said that he was siding with Nadeshot in this instance. \u201cKnowing Nadeshot for as long as I have, there\u2019s no way that I can offer an opinion other than that fact that I\u2019m on Nade\u2019s side,\u201d he said. While he had complimentary things to say about NICKMERCS and the way he conducts himself, H3CZ dropped several pointed hints that he may not have totally agreed with making such a public video about matters that took place behind closed doors. \u201cI don\u2019t know the ins and outs of what their relationship was like,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery single time I asked Nade, Nade\u2019s like \u2018it\u2019s between me and him, I got nothing to say.\u2019 Which is honorable as fuck! To me, behind closed doors, shut door, he\u2019s like \u2018nah it\u2019s between me and him.’\u201d However, H3CZ made sure not speak too directly on the situation at hand, considering that he remains close friends with Nadeshot and has probably been privy to information that the 100T CEO may not want spoken about in a public forum. One thing he did make clear was how regrettable the split was, believing that Nick and Nade could have been a powerful duo in esports. \u201cIt would have been an incredible duo-ship right there,\u201d he said. \u201cI think they would have done fucking amazing work together.\u201d You can check out the entire episode 30 of The Eavesdrop Podcast below, with the segment about NICKMERCS starting at the 22:22 mark. Why did NICKMERCS leave 100 Thieves? NICKMERCS first joined 100 Thieves back in 2016, when the organization was nowhere close to being as prominent as it is today. Three years later, Nick announcing that he was leaving the org, revealing that things hadn\u2019t worked out the way he had envisioned when he first joined, which ultimately disintegrated his relationship with Nadeshot. Overall, it has been a major period of transition for Nick, who also recently moved back to his home state of Michigan, where he plans on continuing to build on what has been a very successful past year-and-a-half.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
