Bio

The Origin Story

Matthew 'Nadeshot' Haag began his journey in competitive gaming as an amateur in the Halo 2 scene, eventually adopting his iconic handle from the 'grenade shot' move. Before his rise to stardom, he famously worked at McDonald's to support his passion, a part of his history that has since become legendary within his community. His transition to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in 2008 marked the start of a professional career that would redefine the path for future content creators in the space.

Rise to Fame

Nadeshot's breakthrough came as the captain of OpTic Gaming, where he led the team to numerous victories, including a Gold Medal at the 2014 MLG X Games and a World Championship in 2011. During this time, he became the face of competitive Call of Duty, leveraging his success to build one of the largest YouTube and Twitch followings in gaming history. His ability to balance top-tier competitive play with engaging daily vlogs and livestreams made him a household name long before 'influencer' was a common term.

Legacy and Current Influence

After retiring from professional play in 2016, Nadeshot founded 100 Thieves, which has since evolved into a multi-million dollar lifestyle brand and esports powerhouse. Today, he remains a central figure in the streaming world, known for his high-stakes watch parties, variety gaming, and leadership as an owner. His legacy is defined by his transition from a professional player to a visionary entrepreneur, inspiring an entire generation of gamers to view content creation as a viable and expansive career path.
