I agree .. He had a huge impact on keeping eyes on the league Either playin , streaming, watch parties ect..when the game sucked & even the pros hated it he kept it interesting.. RESPECT!!
@@bennybones1how about we don’t and say we did? Although I love when aches shuts dumb ass bens shit down. Also from time to time I enjoy watching clips of when aches spews his wild ass opinions about optic Texas. 😅
We can only imagine how good he would have been if he didn't have to deal with his injury. Such a genuine guy too, hope he continues to do well with streaming and content!
@@DJReflect been a fan of optic since the sniper days. Heart is optic and will always be but the watch parties and shows dont hit like the Flank. The Flank brought so many of us back to cod in CW
@@MigBuu I agree with you but if we are going by the numbers only....ZooMaa now hits like 15,000 and Scump hitting 80,000 to 100,000. That's all I was referencing. Vibes is a whole different convo and I am with you on that topic.
He is the reason I got back into Cod content in CW after I Stopped watching in IW. Favorite streamer now, he deserves all and more. Love from France Zoooooomafiaaa
Always loved ZooMaa but never realised how amazing his career has been between the storylines and the highs and lows. Amazing commentary from TacticalRab as always
It’s not talked about enough how much life he gave to the scene when he retired. He revolutionized how the content is approached now in comp COD. He also genuinely cares about the fans. My favorite streamer and it’s not close 🐐
This is awesome to see, I graduated in 2014 from high school so that last year of AW and Bo3 was all I really had left to pay attention to competitive CoD like that. Lost track of all the pros and everything and randomly coming across this was a delight
this guy has done so much for the cod scene, even in the off seasons, he keeps me watching cod. from the watch parties, the throwback tourneys and the sub 8's, the italian stallion is the goat
Started watching comp after champs in aw and followed him on faze and then became a New York fan because of him. So many great memories throughout the years and they started because of him.
Ima be a ZooMaa supporter for life. Been watching him heavy for 4 years now but I always knew who he was since Ghosts. Love Tom and glad he is doing so well in the COD scene ❤
One of the best to ever do it while playing the most difficult & heavily scrutinized role on the team, period. But what impresses me the most about Tommy is his mental fortitude. I can't imagine what it feels like to not be able to do what I love doing because of an injury. This man went through that twice, and came back even stronger both times. Instead of moping & feeling sorry for himself, he turned that stream on & kept the scene alive during a difficult time for COD. He wasn't the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed 💚🤍❤
No joke, 34 year old dad of 3 here with only so much time for COD nowadays, without the GOAT ZOOMAA, that good lookin bastard, I wouldn’t be as involved in the competitive community scene as I am. Shout out to Tommy, keep it humble my guy.
”They were playing vs plumbers back then” you see Zooma on a noname team gunning Optic? Yeah thats why the scene was more interesting, now its like turning into the playoffs and only the playoffs. Rest of the season went missing somewhere
He’s super underrated with the sticks. Played against him once on ranked play in Cold War and got absolutely cooked. Love watching him on The Flank now.
zoomaa tbh was one of my favorite pros and the flank made him my favorite pro of all time sad he had to cut it short bc of an injury wish we could've seen him in cold war with clay, hydra and mack they would've been filthy
The greatest to never win a ring but so often the best in the world. Man I wish he was still playing and someone could build a squad around him but it's our gain, Zoomafia to the moon
i always been an optic guy since MW2 2009, but I always like zooma as a personality. I found him more from gta rp than cod though. I also just want to point out the difference between these OGs like scump, Teep Zooma, Censor all these guys that really played COD as pro's in the game's Hayday, they were all dudes that played some kind of sport in school before cod, or they came from a parent that was a pro athlete, and that's really what drove the pro scene. you had a bunch of guys in their teens and 20s who were actually athletes and they had an athletes mind set , now we fast forward to the CDL in its twilight and just look at all the pro players. just all of them , every single one looks soft, unathletic, overweight, some underweight, look like sticks. They don't look like they could be athletes they don't look like they could do anything else but sit on the couch and play COD. at the same time the CDL is trying to make itself LOOK , like a professional sports league. Its trying to bring NFL or NBA vibes to Call of duty and that's really what didn't mesh. The players do NOT have the personalities really of athletes and they certainly don't look like it, which is what made MLG COD and Cod world league blow up, every player at that level really had an athletes' mindeset. They already came from an environment for years where they went to practice . they ate slept breathed whatever they were doing and they sold it to the crowd. The players today can't sell it. I was watching the promos at the most recent CDL opening stream for my free in game items. Most of the shit was cringe. the promos looked like a highschool AV team penned the scripts but had a 500k budget to waste on camera tech and FX. If COD really want people to get hyped for it the way people get hyped for league they need to go back to its roots, very open events where team/org registration is very accesable and they need players with personalities, they need actual athletes. they all don't have to be soccer players and baseball players, they can be chess champions as long as they have some swag to them and they know how to talk shit between the competitions. That will make people tune in for the actual game, not the free COD toys. Also Cod really gotta move away from controller for their big streaming events. What they need is players from other games to watch them and be interested in the game. None of the players from other games like CS Valo or league respect an FPS shooter where its main format is played on controller with aim assist. those kinds of viewers are familiar with the mechanical prowess that comes with a MnK and no aim assist, and that's what people want to see. People want to see aim bot like flicks and snaps without actually a controller doing part of the work. If COD don't change that it will never get respected as a competitive game. In terms of game pacing and being a spectator game, COD really should have over taken CS a long time ago as the go to FPS esport, but because they want to keep sticking with aim assist and controller CS stayed on top as a much older game and longer established e sport. I also think what Activision is doing to the flank is wrong, its a step backwards and the flank is more in alignment when the stuff i was just elaborating on how to bring COD back into esports scene in a big way. anyway that's an internet "old" dudes 2 cents.
AW Zoomaa made me pray when the OpTic dynasty collapsed we would be able to get him on the team with Scump. I'm thankful we at least got a snippet of it when he subbed in for Dashy. Big love to Don Paparatto
I will not watch this until Lord Zoomaa himself reacts to it and posts it on his channel. Only then will I honor you with my time in watching the work you were privileged to put in towards making this video.
black ops 4 was unique, i had my fair share along with cold war. these newer cods i didn't had much time to adapt until vanguard and mw2 of just playing the game and not being a noob at it.
Zoomaa has single handedly kept me watching cod. The entire scene really owes him so much
Same!!
And rab ofc
This is facts
I agree ..
He had a huge impact on keeping eyes on the league
Either playin , streaming, watch parties ect..when the game sucked & even the pros hated it he kept it interesting.. RESPECT!!
Zoomaafia to the moon
ZooMaa brought me back to competitive CoD. Got nothing but love for the Italian Stallion 🐎
Same with me he got me to come back
Same
this made me excited for the new season. watch the flank everybody!

He definitely revitalized the cod community. Love his authentcity, humor, and heart overall. My goat!
He is to cod now what Scump and Nade were ten years ago
@@KillaZeroZooMaa my man but Scump still has waaaay more effect. Just saying. Look at the numbers.

@@DJReflectzoomaa is the reason for the watch parties man? The numbers don’t matter he is the reason for all the growth in the cod scene since cw

Always loved ZooMaa but never realised how amazing his career has been between the storylines and the highs and lows. Amazing commentary from TacticalRab as always
Guy is easily one of my favorites in the scene. Truly cares about his fans and puts his all into everything.

Who ever is narrating this sounds tall and hot, they should have their own channel talking about cod news.
Top tier cod content - clips, commentary, everything. Thanks boys
absolute goat of the cod content space, he is the reason I got invested in Comp
Bingo
People take for granted how much zoomaa really has done for cod man, such an inspirational player
this guy has done so much for the cod scene, even in the off seasons, he keeps me watching cod. from the watch parties, the throwback tourneys and the sub 8's, the italian stallion is the goat
Love these breaking point docs. They are done really well. Keep up the great work
Started watching comp after champs in aw and followed him on faze and then became a New York fan because of him. So many great memories throughout the years and they started because of him.
Fire video, wasn’t a big fan of him back in the day and came to love him since his retirement. Good documentary of his early years
Ima be a ZooMaa supporter for life. Been watching him heavy for 4 years now but I always knew who he was since Ghosts. Love Tom and glad he is doing so well in the COD scene ❤
I swear he’s the most underrated player ever He deserved a champ
WW2 still hurts my heart as a faze fan and bo4 although in bo4 I was a simp fan so not too bad
@@frankscrafted9709 Advance warfare / Vanguard 🙁
It actually makes me sad that both of his dreams were crushed by injuries. Glad he did well with content
Having 2 career ending injuries and finding another route is commendable
Best watch parties in the game! Love the ZooMaafia
WOOMAA
Such a humble dude, what a story.

all my homies love Zoomaa, do a video on Apathy!
No joke, 34 year old dad of 3 here with only so much time for COD nowadays, without the GOAT ZOOMAA, that good lookin bastard, I wouldn’t be as involved in the competitive community scene as I am.
Shout out to Tommy, keep it humble my guy.
But again, shout out to Chad Tac Rab for carrying the COD community on his extra wide back!
He’s main reason why I still watch cod
If it wasn’t for Tom the community wouldn’t be thriving the way it is today. Big respect to the Italian stallion ❤
”They were playing vs plumbers back then” you see Zooma on a noname team gunning Optic? Yeah thats why the scene was more interesting, now its like turning into the playoffs and only the playoffs. Rest of the season went missing somewhere
He has taken the place of Scump And Nade as the hearts of the cod community imo
Goat talk
He's top 3 but not over those 2. No one will ever be over those 2
Zoomaa is the reason I watch comp cod ❤ I love that homie! ZOOMAFIA BABY
He’s super underrated with the sticks. Played against him once on ranked play in Cold War and got absolutely cooked. Love watching him on The Flank now.
Ive been waiting for this vid... BIG W
love this video!! I think a lot of people either didn't know or forgot... great reminder 💯
Hydra and zooma would’ve been crazy
I would’ve loved to see that ZooMaa/Paco duo but I can’t imagine not watching him or the Flank streams
Zooma was a monster , I hated him back in the day when he would go against OpTic but gotta give him his flowers
WE LOVE ZOOMA
Zoomaa, the Tracy McGrady of Call of Duty.
Huke took that personal, shoulder charged Zooma😂
Zooma went under my radar while he was an active player tbh didn’t know much about him but he’s a goat in the scene 100%
Zoomaa and Rab are my Cod goats! They’re single-handedly the reasons I watch CDL daily
Zoomaa fr the goat he’s always helping the CDL out
What a fantastic video. Zoomaa deserves praise for what he has done for the community
zoomaa tbh was one of my favorite pros and the flank made him my favorite pro of all time sad he had to cut it short bc of an injury wish we could've seen him in cold war with clay, hydra and mack they would've been filthy
ZooMaa is the man, he was top tier in the server and hes just as top tier as a streamer dude is entertaining and doesnt take shit too seriously
The greatest to never win a ring but so often the best in the world. Man I wish he was still playing and someone could build a squad around him but it's our gain, Zoomafia to the moon
Zooma carried the cod comp community by streaming the tourneys before all the watch parties started up and still keeps it up TIll THIS DAY 😤
big props to ZooMa for an amazing career and for getting me back into comp CoD! TacticalRab too
His “evalootion” 😂

“Soccer field”, Rab? Come on.
Almost had this released at 4:23 eastern
nahhh 18:58 throwing in an absolute brick is comedy
Huke and Zoomaa sub duo how did they not win together in Aw
LMAOOOO the way you said Ben J Nissim x)
Yo this i wonder what if zoomaa never retired in cold war and he played with hydra and clay😢😢😢
Zooma and aches man they crack me up
Probably the most well known COD player outside of Scump in terms of RUclips and general popularity among gamers.
Scump fan but the only reason i still watch comp cod is thanks to Wooma. Best streamer in the game. Zoomafia to the moon
This shoulda been title “the story of zooma”
he was dark af in that soccer pic, sun does sum to ya
5:44 peep attach😭
Only stream I frequent and sometimes the things that happen are hilarious
My goat he brought me back to cod
hitting the zoooma flank
0:37 its football not soccer
Soccer!
Disgraceful, next time there's a UK event he should be banned imo
@@craigorme4418ikr?
