Matthew Haag (born August 3, 1992), known by his handle Nadeshot (formerly stylized as NaDeSHoT), is a former professional American Call Of Duty player. He is the owner of "100 Thieves" and former captain of OpTic Gaming in the 2014 Call of Duty: Ghosts season and the 2014-2015 Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare season, playing the objective support role.
Haag is a Major League Gaming (MLG) X Games 2014 gold medalist and 2011 Call of Duty XP World Champion, winning Best e-sports player at The Game Awards 2014. He is a former Red Bull eSports athlete and participates in the Twitch.tv streaming program. Haag is also sponsored by several gaming hardware companies, including Astro Gaming and Scuf Gaming.
In April 2015, shortly after the Call of Duty Championship 2015, NaDeSHoT announced that he was leaving OpTic as a player and taking a leave of absence from competitive gaming. In 2016 Haag created his own competitive gaming team, called 100 Thieves, which began playing in the Call of Duty World League during Black Ops 3 season.
Haag's gaming handle, "NaDeSHoT" originates from "grenade shot", a lethal move in the Halo series in which a grenade is followed by a gunshot Haag was a competitive amateur in the first-person shooter Halo 2, but switched to the third-person tactical shooter series, Gears of War after getting the game as a Christmas present. He narrowly missed qualifying for MLG Chicago in Gears of War play by one slot in 2007. At the age of 16 he made his professional debut on Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Haag has been a member of OpTic Gaming since June 2010, when he first joined the OpTic Clan competitive team. In 2014, he became the captain of OpTic Gaming after Will "BigTymer" Johnson resigned. Haag recently stepped down as OpTic Gaming's captain after a seventh-place finish at the 2015 Call of Duty Championship tournament. Nadeshot then decided to leave OpTic clan in 2016. OpTic Gaming is now composed of Damon "Karma" Barlow, Seth "Scump" Abner, Matthew "Formal" Piper and Ian "Crimsix" Porter.
