Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag is a former Call of Duty pro and the founder of 100 Thieves. Last year, he’d announced that the iconic organization would not be a part of the franchised Call of Duty Global League. Nadeshot also released a video last year stating that the organization wasn’t in a shape to invest money and support recurring costs to join the league.

The announcement had come as an enormous shock. One, they were a very prominent organization with a hegemonic fan base in Call of Duty. Two, 100 Thieves had invested in the League of Legends league a few years before. So they had proven they weren’t averse to investments.

And this is where things got interesting. Nadeshot replied that he wasn’t sure if he should answer the question because of his NDA with the Call of Duty League.

What does this mean for 100 Thieves?

100 Thieves would make a significant addition to the franchise expansion. Perhaps the inclusion of PC players would give Nade an incentive to do it.
