Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Nadeshot, also known as Matt Haag, started his esports career in 2009 playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare with Team Genesis. Nadeshot placed 4th at the 2009 MLG National Championship with Team Genesis.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

After COD4, NaDeSHoT joined OpTic Gaming in October of 2010 for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 season. He finished in 8th place at the MLG Online National Championship and the 2010 MLG National Championship.

call of duty: Black Ops

Matt stayed on the Optic Gaming squad for the Call of Duty: Black Ops season. He earned 3rd place at MLG Dallas in 2011.

Nadeshot moved to the OpTic Nation roster and finished in 6th place at MLG Columbus in 2011. Nadeshot was released from OpTic, and then joined Team EnVyUs.

With EnVy he finished in the top 8 at two more events during the Black Ops season.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Matt rejoined OpTic gaming for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 season in 2012. Nadeshot, along with MerK, BigTymeR, and Vengeance won 1st place at Call of Duty XP. At the UMG Classic Nadeshot took 3rd place and then was subsequently released from OpTic Gaming.

Nadeshot joined JuKeD and took 4th place at the UMG Invitational. At the UMG Championships, Nadeshot placed 3rd with a pick up team to finish the season.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

NaDeSHoT would find himself back on OpTic once again for the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 season. Here, along with Scump, MerK, and BigTymeR, they would find their highest placing early in the season, finishing 1st at UMG Chicago. The team would go on to place 3rd at the Call of Duty Championship, and would not place out of the top 10 for the rest of the season. However, many would begin to question why the team had dropped Rambo in favor of NaDeSHoT. Eventually, OpTic would replace MerK with JKap, and this line up would finish with a 2nd place finish at the MLG Fall Invitational 2013.

Call of Duty: Ghosts

Nadeshot and company would have a rough start to the Call of Duty: Ghosts season, finishing outside of the top 10 at the first 2 events they would attend. The team would go through a flurry of roster changes at one point, including Ricky, Saints, and Parasite, and the retirement of BigTymeR. Scump would leave the team for a week to join Team EnVyUs, siting a rivalry with Nadeshot as the reason. However, Scump would return, and the team would be complete with Nadeshot, Scump, MBoZe, and Clayster.

Many doubted the team heading into the Call of Duty Championship 2014, especially after barely qualifying at the U.S. Regional tournament, but the team would make a strong run, finishing 3rd overall for the 2nd year in a row. After Champs, OpTic would make a surprise move by reviving OpTic Nation, with MBoZe as the captain. OpTic would bring on ProoFy to fill his spot, and the squad would head into UGC Niagara 2014 with high expectations. However, the squad would finish in 7th place, with many questioning why they made the change at all.

Optic Gaming would then attend the MLG X Games Invitational 2014, where NaDeSHoT would show his Search and Destroy prowess, helping lead OpTic Gaming to a win over Team Kaliber in the Grand Finals, and becoming the first Call of Duty X Games gold medalists.

Following this win, NaDeSHoT and the rest of the OpTic Gaming squad went into MLG Anaheim 2014 full of confidence and looked to turn their 2nd seed from Season 2 of the MLG CoD league into a victory. They would take out all opposition 3-0 until they faced Evil Geniuses who knocked them down into the losers bracket final. They went onto beat TCM-Gaming 3-0 in this series and faced Evil Geniuses again in the Championship final. However, the lost the continuation series and finished with a very convincing 2nd.

OpTic Gaming would then look to carry this form over to London at Gfinity 3 but they were unable to, finishing with a disappointing 5th-8th with no-one really performing.

Following this disappointment they looked to bounce back at UMG Dallas 2014, but only did so in part, finishing 4th and taking away $2,000 after crashing out at the hands of OpTic Nation who beat them with a convincing 3-0.

NaDeSHoT and his teammates at OpTic Gaming finished 3rd in the Season 3 of the MLG CoD league, and secured the 3rd seed going into the Season 3 Playoff.

In the Season 3 of the MLG league playoff they lost in the first round against Denial eSports, after beating both Rise Nation and OpTic Nation with a convincing 3-0, NaDeSHoT and his team lost 3-0 to Most Wanted, OpTic Gaming finished in 4th place to close out the Call of Duty: Ghosts season..

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Nadeshot and company began the Advanced Warfare season well at MLG Columbus Open 2014 as they placed second, losing out to FaZe Clan in the Grand Final after OpTic Gaming released Clayster and ProoFy for FormaL and Crimsix.

OpTic Gaming went on to win three consecutive tournaments: UMG Orlando 2015, MLG Pro League Season 1 Playoffs, and the Call of Duty Championship 2015: NA Regional Finals.

However, at the Call of Duty Championship 2015, OpTic Gaming got a disappointing 7th place finish, shocking everyone involved.

On 04/04/2015, feeling that he was the reason for his team’s poor performance at CoD Champs 2015, Nadeshot announced that he would be “taking a break” from competitive Call of Duty, and would be focusing more on his YouTube channel and live streaming. This shocked all the competitive Call of Duty community, as well as most of the pros.

100 Thieves CEO

On April 18th, 2016, NaDeSHoT announced on his YouTube channel that he created his own organization known as “Hundred Thieves.” He had acquired a team that had recently qualified for Stage 2 of the 2016 COD World League North America Pro Division that went by the name of, “King Papey,” to be the first team in any eSports to represent his organization. He also announced that this organisation will not be limited to Call of Duty eSports and is interested in the idea of picking up teams in games like Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Dota, and others.
