NICKMERCS hits back at OpTic\u2019s H3CZ for siding with Nadeshot 100 Thieves – Twitter \/ Nadeshot – TwitterThe saga of Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2018 Kolcheff\u2019s fallout with 100 Thieves CEO Matt \u2018Nadeshot\u2018 Haag continues to unfold, and now OpTic Gaming\u2018s Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2018 Rodriguez has found himself in the middle of the drama. During his daily livestream on May 28, NICKMERCS made a point to address the previous day\u2019s episode of H3CZ\u2019s The Eavesdrop Podcast, in which he talked on the nature of Nick\u2019s recent departure from 100 Thieves. In the podcast, H3CZ explained that he was siding with Nadeshot on the matter, and called him honorable for keeping the details of the fallout behind closed doors. This did not sit will with Nick, who took H3CZ\u2019s comments as a slight against him for having made the decision to publicly reveal the reasons for why he left the organization. \u201cI got motherf*ckers that I look up to, like H3CZ, saying he sides with him,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd then he says some shit like Nade being quiet about is respectable, in a sense. What the f*ck? I don\u2019t know man. I didn\u2019t like hearing that.\u201d Nick went on to point out that it was ironic for H3CZ to side with Nadeshot in a situation like this, when the two themselves had similar issues in the past. \u201cHe concluded by saying he sides with Nadeshot,\u201d Nick said. \u201cThe comedic part about that, and the irony, is \u2013 didn\u2019t this fucking dude go through it with Nadeshot?\u201d Nick, of course, is referring to the organizational disagreements that H3CZ and Nadeshot apparently had that led to Nade leaving OpTic and ultimately striving to create his own esports organization. NICKMERCS continued by saying he understood H3CZ\u2019s position, considering that he\u2019s good friends with Nadeshot and would inevitably give him the benefit of the doubt. However, while he\u2019s never been known to really care about most others\u2019 perception of him, Nick admitted that what was said in the podcast bothered him, primarily because of the negative things he felt that H3CZ was hinting at about his character. \u201cI mean I get that the motherf*cker has been friends with the guy for a minute, I got all that man,\u201d he explained. \u201cBut you go find one motherf*cker that\u2019s worked with me, you go find one teammate of mine, you go find somebody that I\u2019ve been linked up with that I don\u2019t take care of. F*ck out of here! So you go find somebody that worked with me where it didn\u2019t go right. That\u2019s what bothered me about that.\u201d As for publicly disclosing his reasons for leaving 100T, and H3CZ\u2019s comments about Nade being honorable for not doing the same, Nick defended himself by saying it was the only way, and that he\u2019s never been one to look for drama. \u201cPeople want to question me putting it out there, they wanted me to keep it all privately,\u201d he said. \u201cBro I tried that route! They want to act like I\u2019m just f*cking stupid. Of course keep it private, I don\u2019t want to do this! When it my history have I been a dramatic person, that goes and starts shit with everybody? That\u2019s not me! I don\u2019t do that. This isn\u2019t high school for me. I mean, I\u2019m just not liking what I\u2019m reading man.\u201d Why did NICKMERCS leave 100 Thieves? NICKMERCS first joined 100 Thieves back in 2016, when the organization was nothing close to the powerhouse that it is today. However, on May 24, he announced that he was parting ways with the org, saying that he \u201cwants nothing to do with\u201d Nadeshot after claiming that the CEO did not fulfill the promises he had made when Nick first joined up. While it\u2019s not clear if and when he\u2019ll decide to join a new org, things are looking up for the superstar streamer, as he recently completed his goal of moving back to his home state of Michigan and purchasing a house, where he will look to build on what has already been a very successful career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
