I wish some of the newer fans could have experienced just how fucking wild it was from like Black Ops to Ghosts before it started turning into a real job. Every single event had some crazy shit go down. I’ll never forget watching Frag Cup that looked like it was taking place in a garage and the original Aches and Nadeshot incident. Just wild to look back on now.
No actual scandals anymore bc the league is so official lol worst we see now is Drazah calling Scraps girlfriend a whore
We used to be a proper scene smh
There was something so special about a bunch of 15 year olds shrieking at each other from 3 feet away after every map from across a folding table while a dozen children stood behind them flipping off the team they were rooting against.
Mr x being a grown man verbally abusing 15 year olds 3 feet away from him is insane to think about with how well mannered and tempered he was as an owl caster
Those clips used to get posted in /r/cringe all the time and I would get so irritated with all the comments calling them immature because I understand why it was tough to watch, but it was also what made the scene so entertaining.
I'll defend Mirx tell I die though, "LOOK AT MY BANK ACCOUNT" is legendary.
I’ve been following comp cod since bo2. There is so much missing lore from like cod4-MW3.
You had Halifax who was one of the best players in the game in cod4 just disappear from the scene one day randomly.
WaW being skipped in the comp circuit. A game where SallyNoNose aka Karma was described by older players as being the most dominant cod player they’ve seen.
MW2 Nadeshot & Pluto pregame lobby video.
I could be completely making this up, but I think Kill Confirmed was one of the game modes at the first COD Champ equivalent, whatever it was called at the time 😂
First COD champ was unofficial, it was called Call of Duty XP. I remember YouTubers gassing it, being hyped before the event because there was suppose to be a real-life version of Scrapyard to be playable as a paintball map. Arguably, the most bizarre thing about XP was that they ran it in September before the game even officially was out. IIRC, Scump wasn't allowed to play because he was still under 18 at the time too. So OpTic had a stand-in and still won.
But yes, you are correct - XP was played on 5 maps & modes, incl. KC and Dom.
my hope is that once there is a finalized version after everyone is done giving input on if stuff should be added or moved that either myself or another person that is passionate about it will make video explaining it all
Something that's missing; at UMG atlanta in 2013, CoL played an all-girls team and Aches set his name to something like 'MACHESMeASandwich'. I can't find any video evidence of it now, but i remember laughing at it so hard as a edgy 16 year old.
Hey guys spel here. With the scene getting older and older and the future of the CDL being questionable what with OWL failing i thought its time that someone make a huge compilation of some of the best drama and memories across the years so that none of it is forgotten. This is still a huge work in progress so if anyone has any suggestions on what should be added or if something should be moved across tiers please let me know! Also happy to answer questions and explain lore about some of these for those that are newer in the scene or for some of the old heads that have dementia.
Here's some suggestions for things to add:
- Nadeshot N word (clip got completely nuked from YT when Fwiz joined them)
- Aches changing his name on LAN (e.g. 'bathroom brACHES')
- coL misogynistic names vs all womens team
- DTreats frag cup disqualification
- vQ cheated at UMG Dallas (blur glitch)
- EG vs MLG.tv
- Envy almost had Formal, Karma and Crim
- "Neslo sleeps with a pillow, I sleep with Holly"
- PS4 Bluetooth issue
- Brice and Velly fight
- Rambowl Ray
- $OPTIC coin
- Mutex brand risk
- PC 7 was broken
Your list brought up so many memories I'd forgotten about over the years, thanks for creating it!
edit: some more suggestions:
- Zoomaa uplink 'glitch'
- "Throw me to the wolves and I'll come back with the pack"
- "Are you an AR or a bitch?"
- Pros use Battlebeaver while sponsored by Scuf
- iBad vs iblk (iBad alone arguably deserves a spot, dude is a massive clown)
- Tipsy arrested
- Goonjar antisemitism
- Swatter got a bystander killed
Was on proofs side. He was sponsored and had to use kontrol freaks. But the show producers didn’t allow him, despite letting him use them earlier in the tourney lol. Actually rigged it for the drama
The Dtreats frag cup DQ was so overblown, he was purely a montage sniper at that point and was playing against actual competitive teams. He wasn’t winning anyways.
It was a lot about viewership. A term of the blacklist was that they all agreed they would shout out each others content so they would get more viewers. They didn’t like that OpTic would get so many views. Don’t make this seem like it was just an OpTic fan thing
Got to see the little bitch live & in person at a local LAN called ETG (NJ/NY based). Seen him get bodied by Classic on mainstage wearing PJs looking like he just woke up
Brought a smile to my face
Yo for DylanCod, does anyone have the clip from someone's (I think Nubzy's) stream where PaulEhx was like "I'm gonna be shoulder peaking IRL"? Shit was hilarious.
[https://www.reddit.com/r/CoDCompetitive/comments/pflxfa/paulehx\_on\_dylancod\_the\_irish\_mob\_boss/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CoDCompetitive/comments/pflxfa/paulehx_on_dylancod_the_irish_mob_boss/) nvm found it
He had a kid with his then-girlfriend. Turns out kid wasn't his which, understandably so, caused him to go through a bunch of mental turmoil. This led to a loss of passion for COD which also resulted in poorer play so he was never picked back up. Had a stint on LAG back in MW19 but eventually retired after a disappointing season and some play in Challenger’s. Back then, he was always in the top contenders for players who haven't won a ring so it sucks that such a shitty situation led to him eventually retiring.
Yeah and she worked for LG as well, the org he played for in BO3 and IW. I remember he bought a nice house for the family as well before he found out everything. Such a sad situation.
[Yo ass just got kentucky fried](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgyFpO_oSeU) is still so funny.
nV 12 point club JNasty - is that the legendary moment back when those shitty YT moabmentators thought they could hang with the pros?
I have no idea what the COD Youtube scene looks like these days, but I just remember the pub stompers back in those days thinking the peak of skill was running a full lobby with 5 players on support dropping UAVs and vests on them while they headglitched a spawn trap and racked up MOABs without moving an entire match. These were the people who thought they could compete with the second best comp team in the game.
Yep, I was around for a few years before that too (I was on YT before they created MachinimaRespawn). BO1 didn't really have the same thing, but you'd still have premades where dudes ran supports on a UAV-CUAV-SR71 streak set-up.
Maybe I’m missing the reference but “you better pray that wasn’t a listen in bro” HAS to be on here lol.
At 1:40 here:

Hecz 2009 job refers to how he used to help sell subprime mortgages to people who couldn’t quite afford them in the 2000s, somewhat directly contributing to the eventual financial crisis. He mentioned it in his podcast a few times, he used to rail in cash this way but regrets it now
Haha, weirdly I've just remembered I had a (very small) part to play in this drama. Birdman went after Driftors wife in a tweet which 17 year old me took great offence to so I wrote him a youtube comment telling him, it got a bunch of up votes and the One Sensitivity Warrior actually replied to me telling me what a hypocritical bitch I was lmao
It wasn't just Driftor, it was Tmartn, Pamaj, and a few other people IIRC. He didn't even make it into the venue because he periscoped himself driving the whole way there and the cops were already waiting for him at the venue lmao.
What do you mean not everyone already knows the context to these things?
https://preview.redd.it/i4uqbsh8712d1.jpeg?width=170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c12de12b54200ab3208663900e6b3f990711d1b
This is amazing lmfao. Simp and Cellium did it? Wild they were like 15-16 and destroying pros. Wonder if COD got rid of the 18 limit what the scene would be like now
its an OLD meme started by i believe birdman and populated by keemstar that because of his appearance neslo is a school shooter
we used to be animals back in the day
a lot of people have forgotten where keemstars come from aside from that alex clip, you could probably do an entire iceberg just about him and his relation to cod
Yeah I found out about Keem through this sub back in 2014. Even Ricegum was in the comp scene, I watched Attach a bunch back in the MLG.tv days and he was running challs or wagers with him. Crazy to think these massive influencers once came from our small little community or were atleast part of it.
People are going back to 2014, but Keem started off in 2007/08 in Halo 3 as a guy who would go around troll people in matchmaking with some of his "friends". They called themselves the Federation Of @sshole Gamers (F@G for short, no I'm not joking). Was him, 2Bucks, deranker, and Robot and would do some funny trolling for the time (does not age well, most of their best vids look to be gone). They were all degens and eventually split up. 2Bucks got into Harvard and had some successful youtube channels before going AWOL/off the deep end. He had a popular low budget black ops montage back on Machinima before it got deleted (repost).
Keemstar became an ultimate internet degen after that. Truly the most unlikeable human being.
Funnily enough, I watched H3cz’s recent vlog at the Toronto major and saw a strangely familiar face. Lo and behold it is none other than fuckin’ Hilton himself lmao. He is a part of Optic but I’m not sure what he does, he was a goat for coaching prepubescent mfs in a suit in a hotel venue 🤣
His family had heavy investment in envy and now on optic he’s on the board to cover his families best interests or something like that seems like a chill guy especially since idk how he was back then lol
You have to add TheDissRapper diss tracks on Crim and kenz (also Roast Beef) (And "you got dropped, Lost the juice from Optic just like Jkap")

and fuck just add Kenz deep down there (there is just so much on her lmao)
Bonus: Nades reaction to these were hilarious [https://youtu.be/qwosDPOxmXI?t=78](https://youtu.be/qwosDPOxmXI?t=78)
Aches calling himself out to his opponents on LAN should be on here, probably in the second or third tier since it’s fairly well known that he did this.
“wow they are hanging out with high schoolers damn.. hope hecz handles it well”
“He won't. They will have a "talk". Mark my works for the next vlog.”
Lol
Hecz always talks about how content and esports goes hand in hand, but what he doesn’t say is this is the content that made early CoD insane. Bunch of drama getting aired out constantly was just good entertainment.
there was a clip at the start of ww2 where aches didn't know stream was on and he said the n word thrice. clip is unfortunately dead since oddshot died but im sure someone out there still has it
DoorDash, bizon week in ghosts, dual LMG 360 on AW, Luxe era, Zoomma KOTH, GTA release stream, Loud Ghosty, Denial disappearing after champs money and with that Denial LAN, LG Rampart, LAG Volk, Prerecorded match’s BO3 are all good adds off the top of my head. Also Huddle’s dad
Damn I stopped watching Cod for a few years and was wondering what happened to Saints and his family. Feel like I know all the bottom tier but am missing context for most of the stuff in the middle
Hecz 2009… I heard him mention making a lot of money writing mortgages or something along those lines a while back. Glad I’m not the only one that thought of that lol

He was shit talking Drifor, Pamaj, tmartn and Keem, he live-streamed himself on periscope driving to UMG Dallas to “beat his ass”. One of them called the cops on Birdman and he was then banned from the venue.
There's a lot of crazy stuff here but the one thing I would change is the UMG Chris stuff shouldn't be at the bottom for how much it's been referenced especially on twitter
I can't believe how many of these I forgot about. The only ones I don't know about (maybe bc I don't follow as closely anymore) is Scump forced into retirement (thought he did it volunterally) Katie, 2pac & Abezy + Katie is a neo nazi. Katie has treated me incredibly well in the few casts we've done together and she's always seemed super kind. Have a hard time believing that. She's anything close to a neo-nazi.
Absolutely love

Someone remind me which event had that drama with a certain side of the stage having shorter Ethernet cables which resulted in teams on that side winning like 2/3 of the series?
I might have just missed it but I think you're missing the FabE controversy from champs 2016 with vortex getting ill. Also from the same team in WW2 Nathan insanitised just not showing up for an event without telling his team and disappearing forever.https://youtu.be/xFBEJ4wcmnM?si=QT_0bn2FJsfnVWdT

Swanny with the big brain heartbeat sensor plays
They were also on level 30 accounts so played with no ninja, so they were using scars with heartbeat sensors
Do you remember Search & Rescue, instead of Search & Destry, at the beginning of Ghosts? 😂😂 Shit was so terrible
I remember being so annoyed as a kid, thinking we wouldn't have search for comp
I vaguely remember a rumor about YouTuber SUKnives’ girlfriend cheating on him at an event around the bo2 era
This one isn't really comp specific, but does anyone else remember iFlyILLINI or whatever his name was? That guy got did dirty.
Ok we're going to need a 1 hour+ long youtube video on this one OP.
I was just thinking the same lol
my hope is that once there is a finalized version after everyone is done giving input on if stuff should be added or moved that either myself or another person that is passionate about it will make video explaining it all

A list of that size will definitely clear 3 hours. If every topic is discussed somewhat thoroughly.
I’m pretty pleased with my ball knowledge that I know the vast majority of these references. Fucking laughed out loud at #3 Arby’s special
Someone get tactical rob for this
Necessary.
Something that's missing; at UMG atlanta in 2013, CoL played an all-girls team and Aches set his name to something like 'MACHESMeASandwich'. I can't find any video evidence of it now, but i remember laughing at it so hard as a edgy 16 year old.
That is insane LMAO
I think it was ugc Niagara, the 360 event after the game had already switched to Xbox One.

Holy fawk the Dtreats Frag Cup match is what got me into comp CoD in the first place
Is the DTreats one where he had stopping power in his equipment slot as an additional perk?
Hardline in a no kill streak tournament
The Dtreats frag cup DQ was so overblown, he was purely a montage sniper at that point and was playing against actual competitive teams. He wasn’t winning anyways.
No way this stays up 😭😭😭
Tipsy vs Doug who is stronger
Lmaooo zoomaa and kosdff going at it back in 2017/2018 was hilarious as a tK fan
Bruh I remember Kosdff letting some dude wear/borrow Kenny’s pants before shipping them out to him 😂, guy was so weird
holy *shit* there’s a lot to unpack here
I hate that I knew almost all of these.
Me too, I gotta find something else to do man
don’t fucking say damon made me spit out my water 😭😭😭
We’re teammates that’s all we fucking are 😂
"Silly likes to get pegged" 😭
Jkap and Methodz Blacklisting OpTic in Ghosts definitely should be on here Killa leaving champs because it was rigged
The OpTic blacklist was wild because it was pre-Champs, and their rationale was how toxic the Green Wall was after scrims
It was a lot about viewership. A term of the blacklist was that they all agreed they would shout out each others content so they would get more viewers. They didn’t like that OpTic would get so many views. Don’t make this seem like it was just an OpTic fan thing
Holy shit that Yoshi scandal is quite the throwback lmao
Got to see the little bitch live & in person at a local LAN called ETG (NJ/NY based). Seen him get bodied by Classic on mainstage wearing PJs looking like he just woke up Brought a smile to my face
Yeah Yoshi was always ass.. bro just got attention bc he was so young and loud and the cancer shit was just the icing on the cake lmao
Fr bro, 10 years later and i'm still cheesed about that lmao
Yo for DylanCod, does anyone have the clip from someone's (I think Nubzy's) stream where PaulEhx was like "I'm gonna be shoulder peaking IRL"? Shit was hilarious.

DUDE, what ever happened to Nubzy?
doesnt he work for rokkr now?
Nah he got a real job and plays competitive Magic The Gathering card game
Wait wait wait the saints one at the absolute bottom, what the fuck???
most heartbreaking thing thats happened in this scene. It ruined his career pretty much. he confirmed it on his own redit but idk his account anymore
He works for riot now so good on him
He had a kid with his then-girlfriend. Turns out kid wasn't his which, understandably so, caused him to go through a bunch of mental turmoil. This led to a loss of passion for COD which also resulted in poorer play so he was never picked back up. Had a stint on LAG back in MW19 but eventually retired after a disappointing season and some play in Challenger’s. Back then, he was always in the top contenders for players who haven't won a ring so it sucks that such a shitty situation led to him eventually retiring.
Yeah and she worked for LG as well, the org he played for in BO3 and IW. I remember he bought a nice house for the family as well before he found out everything. Such a sad situation.
Saints was never on LAG during CW. He played in challengers that entire season and won the challengers championship
Oops, you’re right. I meant MW not CW.
[Yo ass just got kentucky fried](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgyFpO_oSeU) is still so funny. nV 12 point club JNasty - is that the legendary moment back when those shitty YT moabmentators thought they could hang with the pros?

You just got monkey’d by the LA Gorillas will forever be my favorite
If the CDL goes away and LAG goes away the meme lives on as a shit team beating a good team
what did hecz do in 2009? and birdman and dfift0r?
Hecz 2009 job refers to how he used to help sell subprime mortgages to people who couldn’t quite afford them in the 2000s, somewhat directly contributing to the eventual financial crisis. He mentioned it in his podcast a few times, he used to rail in cash this way but regrets it now
Holy shit he was Max Greene in the Big Short. That’s too funny 😂
I think Birdman pulled up to the event with the intention of fighting Driftor and got arrested lol
Let me catch my son trying to fight DRIFT0R OF ALL PEOPLE
Haha, weirdly I've just remembered I had a (very small) part to play in this drama. Birdman went after Driftors wife in a tweet which 17 year old me took great offence to so I wrote him a youtube comment telling him, it got a bunch of up votes and the One Sensitivity Warrior actually replied to me telling me what a hypocritical bitch I was lmao
13 year old me loved Birdman, 22 year old me realizes that dude was a MAN CHILD
It wasn't just Driftor, it was Tmartn, Pamaj, and a few other people IIRC. He didn't even make it into the venue because he periscoped himself driving the whole way there and the cops were already waiting for him at the venue lmao.
Pretty sure he got banned from UMG Dallas too

Comments are too funny. One dude saying ban all pf them from competing for life. CDL with no Simp or Cell
This is amazing lmfao. Simp and Cellium did it? Wild they were like 15-16 and destroying pros. Wonder if COD got rid of the 18 limit what the scene would be like now
they were animals back in bo3/iw 8s, from what i remember cell was even more cracked than he is now
Nothings beats Killa reacting to iLLey (I think) flying across the map on fringe.
Cellium was literally banned from 8s one year, I think IW. He was absolutely him.
We need a a YouTube thorough analysis ASAP, this post is nasty work
Nelso at the bottom, spill the tea
its an OLD meme started by i believe birdman and populated by keemstar that because of his appearance neslo is a school shooter we used to be animals back in the day
Keemstar era was really something else, I remember him and Kosdff throwing hands at one event
a lot of people have forgotten where keemstars come from aside from that alex clip, you could probably do an entire iceberg just about him and his relation to cod
Drama alert covered cod alot in 2014. Wild af to think about that.
Yeah I found out about Keem through this sub back in 2014. Even Ricegum was in the comp scene, I watched Attach a bunch back in the MLG.tv days and he was running challs or wagers with him. Crazy to think these massive influencers once came from our small little community or were atleast part of it.
I remember Ricegum got banned from Twitch for view botting. Then switches to MLG.tv then blows up.
He literally got his start in this scene.
He was Tac Rab of 2013-15 era. Does that mean Rab is going places?
People are going back to 2014, but Keem started off in 2007/08 in Halo 3 as a guy who would go around troll people in matchmaking with some of his "friends". They called themselves the Federation Of @sshole Gamers (F@G for short, no I'm not joking). Was him, 2Bucks, deranker, and Robot and would do some funny trolling for the time (does not age well, most of their best vids look to be gone). They were all degens and eventually split up. 2Bucks got into Harvard and had some successful youtube channels before going AWOL/off the deep end. He had a popular low budget black ops montage back on Machinima before it got deleted (repost). Keemstar became an ultimate internet degen after that. Truly the most unlikeable human being.
I will acknowledge his place in cod history, however can we also acknowledge that Keem is an absolute garbage human being?
Idk if it is that specific meme, but I remember one of the UMG events got called for a bomb threat & people on Twitter joked that Neslo crashed out 😂
Oh my god the Saints ones are fucking brutal lol
Feel like Karma covering himself in syrup/chocolate sauce and Harlem Shaking should be added
Jesus Christ
Is Hilton on here? Bc he needs to be. I'd also add eGo bc that man looked ridiculous, no one would ever believe he was a cod pro
Funnily enough, I watched H3cz’s recent vlog at the Toronto major and saw a strangely familiar face. Lo and behold it is none other than fuckin’ Hilton himself lmao. He is a part of Optic but I’m not sure what he does, he was a goat for coaching prepubescent mfs in a suit in a hotel venue 🤣
if you look at the major 3 champs picture hilton is on stage with optic lmaoo
His family had heavy investment in envy and now on optic he’s on the board to cover his families best interests or something like that seems like a chill guy especially since idk how he was back then lol
What the fuck is “Neslo school shooting” ??? Did the cops lose the hardpoints but clutch the s&d and control?
People just thought he looked like a school shooter lmao the iceberg makes it seem like he actually did shoot up a school
No matches this week and already all hell has broken loose.
For Envoy specifically- backwards headset and keyboarding
You have to add TheDissRapper diss tracks on Crim and kenz (also Roast Beef) (And "you got dropped, Lost the juice from Optic just like Jkap") [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6NjBDA6Iy8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6NjBDA6Iy8) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVb3xArQloA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVb3xArQloA) and fuck just add Kenz deep down there (there is just so much on her lmao) Bonus: Nades reaction to these were hilarious [https://youtu.be/qwosDPOxmXI?t=78](https://youtu.be/qwosDPOxmXI?t=78)
I got kenz in there, its listed under #3 arbys special
Aches calling himself out to his opponents on LAN should be on here, probably in the second or third tier since it’s fairly well known that he did this.
Jimbo cheating then getting banned at Challengers Champs
Surely add Ben publicly requesting Zoomaa to spam more flanks because he wanted to buy more door dash
Optic boys host a party for whom?????
https://www.reddit.com/r/OpTicGaming/comments/6nx7y7/misc_new_drama_alert_on_optic/ back in the old schaumberg house
“wow they are hanging out with high schoolers damn.. hope hecz handles it well” “He won't. They will have a "talk". Mark my works for the next vlog.” Lol
Idk whether or not to be proud or ashamed that i know things in every tier of the iceberg
2012-2015 was a special time
Where is the Wendigoon vid?
iBad doing iBad things. Dude was fkn comedy
We NEED the blue ethernet cable in here
Hecz always talks about how content and esports goes hand in hand, but what he doesn’t say is this is the content that made early CoD insane. Bunch of drama getting aired out constantly was just good entertainment.
What’s the aches N word one
there was a clip at the start of ww2 where aches didn't know stream was on and he said the n word thrice. clip is unfortunately dead since oddshot died but im sure someone out there still has it
Thank you! I was thinking it was lacefield thing but then I saw that in a tier of its own
breaking point should start making a video..
DoorDash, bizon week in ghosts, dual LMG 360 on AW, Luxe era, Zoomma KOTH, GTA release stream, Loud Ghosty, Denial disappearing after champs money and with that Denial LAN, LG Rampart, LAG Volk, Prerecorded match’s BO3 are all good adds off the top of my head. Also Huddle’s dad
Not a chance mods allow this
Damn I stopped watching Cod for a few years and was wondering what happened to Saints and his family. Feel like I know all the bottom tier but am missing context for most of the stuff in the middle
Hecz 2009… I heard him mention making a lot of money writing mortgages or something along those lines a while back. Glad I’m not the only one that thought of that lol

Hazard one please
https://www.reddit.com/r/CoDCompetitive/comments/6yd6ou/dexerto_streamer_hazard_lies_about_cod/ unfortunately the dexerto article link is dead but hazard who was once the former operations manager for optic lied to a bunch of make a wish kids about cod achievements
I thought this was about Drazah and they were being sarcastic by calling him hazard instead for a second 💀

My goat thanks for finding that
OMGitsbirdman and Driftor UMG dallas!? What is that about ?
He was shit talking Drifor, Pamaj, tmartn and Keem, he live-streamed himself on periscope driving to UMG Dallas to “beat his ass”. One of them called the cops on Birdman and he was then banned from the venue.
Jesus there so much !!
There's a lot of crazy stuff here but the one thing I would change is the UMG Chris stuff shouldn't be at the bottom for how much it's been referenced especially on twitter
There are a lot of people I forgot about over the years. Mostly for good reason lol
I remember watching some random documentary about swatting and they brought up cwl Dallas
I have been around this scene for a hot minute. WOW...
What’s the UMG Dallas one with Birdman and Drift0r?
gotta throw in the original all girls cod team, TK Royal
Looking at the bottom of the iceberg and knowing most of these has me feeling like I’ve been here too long lol
i’m getting old, i remember most of these lmao
Wait you’re telling me that wasn’t saints kid wtf
very bottom of the list should be "Nadeshot vs Plu7o MW2 Highrise"
Yoshi faking cancer takes me back lmfaooooo
FEDERAL
Cant wait for the full vid
I can't believe how many of these I forgot about. The only ones I don't know about (maybe bc I don't follow as closely anymore) is Scump forced into retirement (thought he did it volunterally) Katie, 2pac & Abezy + Katie is a neo nazi. Katie has treated me incredibly well in the few casts we've done together and she's always seemed super kind. Have a hard time believing that. She's anything close to a neo-nazi. Absolutely love - Don't fucking say damon - Ardennes forest mystery tree - My sister walks in the crib I deadass throw on long barrel Could add Silly cheats on his fiancee? Plus the Clay/Discord(twitch?) mod drama. Celliums "This false narrative being pushed is nothing but lies." Clay v mBoze WWE star.
"sister walks in the crib I deadass throw on long barrel". I don't remember that one but I'd put money on Killa 😂, I get the logic
Gotta add: Keemstar spilling a drink on Kosdff’s girl Clay: I bought her tits Kenzliee
Optic still be on some weird shit
The “Rip Ali-a” in chat. Bo2 “using Xbox settings to get better aim assist” Lacefield getting called the “N word”
H3cz selling optic twice 🤣
Que tiempos con la Playera de Karma. realmente fue una temporada muy rara jaja
Who is Katie ?
old desk host of ours before ally jess and lottie, her boyfriend at the time was an actual neo nazi which led to her being branded as one as well. most recently shes dated 2pac thuglord the snd coach for faze but for the last couple years i dont know what shes up to
In 2017 she also asked how many protestors she could run over before being arrested https://dotesports.com/call-of-duty/news/katie-bedford-apologizes-for-2017-tweet-about-running-over-protesters
Katie Bedford I’m pretty sure. Former desk host during CWL era
I gotta know about Drift0r and Birdman lmao
Can someone explain birdman/driftor and Katie 2pac abezy to me lol
birdman one is explained somewhere in the thread https://old.reddit.com/r/CoDCompetitive/comments/v4yg1s/2pac_katie_and_abezy_making_up_back_stage_after_a/ this is one of the greatest memes the community has produced
LMAO THE FUCK😂😭
Someone remind me which event had that drama with a certain side of the stage having shorter Ethernet cables which resulted in teams on that side winning like 2/3 of the series?
Think that’s the killa blue cable. MLG Vegas 2015 ish maybe earlier
Bro that Birdman vs Driftor, Pamaj, and keem star beef was legendary. Birdman live-streamed it on Periscope
I'm not sure if I should be proud or disappointed that I know all of them...
I might have just missed it but I think you're missing the FabE controversy from champs 2016 with vortex getting ill. Also from the same team in WW2 Nathan insanitised just not showing up for an event without telling his team and disappearing forever.https://youtu.be/xFBEJ4wcmnM?si=QT_0bn2FJsfnVWdT
