Shotzzy has been on fire lately! His takes have been raw and honest, and it’s refreshing to see him speaking his mind. Whether it's about the CDL or just competitive gaming in general, he’s keeping it real. His rants have been hitting hard, and you can tell he’s passionate about it.
DeMar DeRozen has a quote that stuck with me when he was on PG’s podcast, just replace league with your passion/career. “We got a lot of sorry mf’s in the league…” then continued to cook the league. Talking about how many people don’t love the sport or dont care about winning.
Cheaters, SBMM, SNIPINGS BAD , Only people who care for cod is the people who can't play 24/7 and to them I feels like a chore to sweat every game for the 1-2 hours they can play
11:17 this is too disrespectful of a statement lmao I would say their is a very similar amount if not more pros and amateurs streaming infinite daily than CoD right now. Some of them have been consistent for all of infinite and before infinite too. I’m thinking Snakebite, Royal 2, Frosty, Trippey, Piggy, etc + the rest of the community members who don’t compete but stream daily. the numbers might not be there but that’s definitely not from a lack of streams to watch or the players fault. Microsoft/Halo studios just suck. Also there are many content creators in the Halo scene. Real life Spartan, mint blintz, hiddenxperia, shyway, Active, the shilt show, YNOT, Reclaimer, Oath, Echidna. Just to name a few. Not trying to be long winded or argumentative about it but just gotta put some respect on the Halo community because the community and its players are literally the only thing keeping Halo alive.
The kids these days forget the scene was built on content from the beginning. Without nade, scump, faze, etc cod competitive never gets to even where its at now
People love roasting Shotzzy for how “dumb” he is, but he has a such a strong sense of self awareness that some of the smartest people don’t have and that’s why he’s successful.
Incredibly smart individual despite his sometimes dumb moments. If the players don’t create an environment to further perpetuate the league - salaries will keep declining as viewership keeps declining
On the point of growing the scene, players need to play pubs. Most of the current fanbase of the CDL is the same people that have been following cod for years. A lot of these people play ranked and like the competitive side of cod. But, to grow the scene you have to capture the audience you dont have. Think about back in the day when scump had the 70 challenge, those videos have millions of views. I do think its harder now with sbmm, but there needs to be some type of content of pubs, from pros, if you want to grow.
I respect Shotzzy for standing on business but 60k a year really isn't "buy house" money. I'm sure they maybe could depending on their credit but for these young guys that spend most of their time playing games, it isn't realistic.
I’m gonna assume you’re very young, 60k is definitely enough to buy a house like a NORMAL person. They’d have to get a loan, have good credit, and refinance in a few years in hopes of getting a lower interest rate. They couldn’t pay cash like some of these bigger creators, but it doesn’t mean they couldn’t. 60k is a normal person salary. If they want to make more, they should do things to bring more eyeballs to the scene, in turn bringing more advertisers and more dollars to go around. There’s zero draw in call of duty nowadays
i agree but also to his point they would get paid more if they had more to bring to a brand, grinding more both in scrims, challs, and streaming, which adds to his point
@@_Deeyaz Bro these kids are playing video games for a living, they most likely don’t have good credit or aren’t thinking about taking out a home loan while making 60k a year when the scene is dying. And I didn’t say it wasn’t possible, it’s just not realistic.
20:04 this is where i truly think KIDS LOVES AND NEED HANDOUTS NOW... ( if shottzy is shitting on u with 6k viewers but ur learning things and YOU ARE STREAMING ) IF ANYTHING HES OPENING THE DOOR TO SMALLER KIDS
Nick out here trying to defend himself lol. Just turn on the damn camera Nick! Dont make shotzzy come at ya neck. If you turned on that camera all those years ago and never stopped you would be in a different place. You're also in a position where you can still do it because your blessed to be in optic. If these guys start now, in 8 years they'll be happy they did and didnt stop. It wont happen overnight. But they gotta start if they ever want to have their name seen as a brand.
Also, Shotzzy has the personality and wits about him to follow in Scumps footsteps. If he just doesn't stop and keeps going, he'll be bigger than Scump in the future
@@berzerk_wog4113 Everyone will eventually be surpassed. Scump was the guy when I was young and he grew to be huge. But we were still a tiny population compared to today's numbers on streaming and videos. By the time ant retires, he'll be at a point where he has more screen time than Seth, more people growing up with him, and more money and direction than Seth had. He'll be pushed up simply by being the second up. It's just like the COD scene. The first had to walk so that the new kids could run. It's just how the world works bro.
I really think the loss of interest in COD from popular streamers like Dr disrespect, TimTheTatman and Nickmercs (importantly: not pro players) in the last 6 months has had a bigger impact than people think
The SnD star community dying in iw when umg tried their rebrand mumbo jumbo is what kick started comp cod dying. The player base is smaller than ever and the up and coming talent is non existent
Nobody has personality the scene was always corny but effective cuz everyone was younger the fans the players now everyone is older it gets old now mfs need to fight or some
12:17 @Shyway is also a really good competitive Halo content creator! @HiddenXperia as well. They might not get as many views, but there definitely is a Halo scene still.
love shotzzy & all hes doing but he needa relax on the telling people to get better & shooting bodies until they can actually show theyre a winning team bc atp they look embarrassing from where they were last year & its not even hukes fault
i dont watch the matches bruh, i only watch the flank and some podcasts, i have no interest aside from that, dumbass pros with the crybaby cheese (not shotzzy) got me checked out
Say what y’all want about shotzzy but at least he cares about the league

"You never thought of food for 24 hours at a time" 😂
I think its hilarious that Hitch and Nick don't know the episode number but SHOTZZY of all people knew it 😂
He loves the flycast lol

Shottzy cooking. love to see the passion as a CoD fan since 2010 and new to the competitive CoD scene
maniac asks amazing questions
He really does
$50k a month just off twitch , making other pros minimum salaries 😂
There’s not even a minimum salary now
Im calling it now OpTic is winning Madrid. Pros to Ant for trying to keep the COD scene alive.
8 total “likes” in Shotzzy’s opening statement. This is going to be a wild ride.
Nick low key did a pretty good job at driving the conversation in this one!
Feel like Shotzzy is sitting in between Ben and Aches

Talk your shit Shotzzy!!!
I think it’s pretty clear. He’s been at the top of a game that killed itself. He doesn’t want it to happen again
He’s right tho hype it up fight for what you love
The kids these days forget the scene was built on content from the beginning. Without nade, scump, faze, etc cod competitive never gets to even where its at now

Wild none of the other pros are freaking out like he is. No ones going to care about the game unless they give us a reason to.

Your videos always impress with their high quality and in-depth content. Thank you for your hard work!👋🍎😱
Hitch stole nicks glasses
Flycast is literally Wayne’s World.

I haven’t watched the whole vid but I don’t have time, can you elaborate at all on what you’re talking about

That’s exactly what I said you just worded it differently lol.

@@aarongarcia2911 he'll be close to scump MAYBE, but the King can't be replaced big fella

Love ya shotzzy, the goat, the inspiration, PLEASE MAKE COD GREAT AGAIN!!!! 💯💪🎉
Making it about HIM is wild … I legit look up cdl content and nothing there lol . He not wrong lol . Either grow or die
We need everyone to stop crashing out and find a way for the league to raise money but if cod dies then GGs
