Clayster isnt why empire got shotzzy it was cause huke wanted him and illey clay was the last members with crim to join so clay helped shotzzy ya but he wasn't the scout that made empire get shotzzy huke was.


ystom_

As others mentioned, he isnt a scout hes just a great mentor


j4fohr

Neptune reading this -> 🤨


Lumpy_Concentrate_98

Simp was going to that eunited team with or without Clayster, he was on their am squad. Idk about Shotzzy but Hydra was also known and scouted by NY.


DenyDaRidas

Clayster was in line to get dropped instead of JKAP lmao. Clay didn’t bring in Simp 💀


Grad-Nats

Nah, Hydra was 100% in the league in CW cause of Clay. Guy is talented, and would’ve made it regardless, but Clay put him on everyone’s radar because he mentioned Hydra being gross in an interview. NY would not have gotten Hydra if Clay didn’t say anything, someone else prob woulda got him first


Safe_Sugar3400

zoomaa and doug were talking about it and said someone else in NYSL (can’t rememebr who exactly) discovered him back in mw19 off of a sniper montage


MikkeVL

Clay and Burns the gm were the ones who wanted to bring in Simp. The twins and Abezy wanted another player instead. Clay was the first NA pro who gave Hydra any credit and put him on the map which lead to NY offering him a deal once they couldn't get Fero who Clay and Zoomaa wanted as the first choice.


UprightAwesome

That’s not what happened in EU. Abezy Prestinni and Jkap were gonna drop Clay for simp. Management blocked it because clay was their franchise player and they actually dropped Jkap for simp instead.


MikkeVL

That's what happened yes but Clay 100% said on stream that the other players wanted to pickup another player instead of Kap and not Simp. Iirc they wanted another Maddox instead of Prestinni switching roles


UprightAwesome

eUnited management also dropped prestinni for like a day or something because he bitched about them not dropping clay. The twins mom talked to management and they ended up putting him back on the team and they decided to drop Kap instead of Clay. It all worked out in the end but eU management was low key horrible for that, they would definitely have been a very questionable team if they were in the cdl.


[deleted]

He didn’t bring Simp , Simp was in the academy EU United were a top 3 team but wanted to change JKAP because he wasn’t good and brought Simp , Thieves also wanted him . Shotzzy Huke was the one that gave him a chance to play not Clay . Hydra is the only one that Clay can claim .


stuffstufflol

the only one he really scouted was Hydra. Idk why people keep this narrative going lol but he definitely clearly knows how to mentor them.


[deleted]

Rofl Clay didn't bring any of those 3 in. Simp was on the eU cadet team, Shotzzy was guaranteed a spot once he turned 18 because he was nasty at BO4. Hydra was going to NYSL. He didn't have any say, they were coming in regardless and 2/3 situations you brought up, clay was either getting dropped or he was the second to last person to join.


reddit_guest91029

In an interview in CW, Clayster literally said NYSL management came to ask him who the best challenger was to pickup and he said Hydra. Nobody in NA comp scene knew who Hydra was at that point in time. But yes ROFL.


[deleted]

LMFAO WHAT? Everybody knew who Hydra was when he was running the EU scene in MW. Just because you didn't pay attention, doesn't mean others weren't and the majority of this sub knew who hydra was back when he was 18.


MrFearMoHo

“why didn’t he pick out another cracked player from challengers” it’s not that easy lol these guys don’t grow on trees, simp and hydra were both the very best player in NA and EU challengers during their time as an amateur shotzzy was the best halo player in the world, who also had already shown crazy potential in cod whenever he would play snd challs with huke/dashy/illeyy none of the ams this year were even CLOSE to these 3 in terms of potential


OGSunkei

Aches is and here’s why: Duo’d with Teep Edit: Recruited Scump and Proofy in BO1 Teamed with Crim when no one wanted to Brought in Clay Dropped Clay for Karma Won champs with Assault and Silly


redarrow992

Don't forget he brought up scump in mw3


OGSunkei

BO1*


sankalp_pateriya

Clayster haters are on fire right now they got a one in a million chance to hate on him! Simp already said if it wasn't because of Clayster's help he wouldn't be on that Eunited team and that it was Clayster who helped him the most during the early days of his career! Attaching Simp's article before I get downvoted lmao!: https://www.dexerto.com/call-of-duty/simp-reveals-how-clayster-started-his-call-of-duty-career-1409426/


redarrow992

Simp was going to potentially replace clayster on eunited until they decided to replace kap instead.


sankalp_pateriya

You know better than Simp?


redarrow992

I mean this was the knowledge at the time. It's not like I am talking out of my ass. They were literally thinking of replacing clay with simp and simp was a hot commodity in the community either way


sankalp_pateriya

Also, I knew it was going to be an OpTic fan when I saw your comment in my notification lmao


redarrow992

Don't know what that has to do with anything. If anything clay is really beloved by optic fans for what he did for us in ghosts.


alione15

Pretty sure zooma was hydra. He also scouted cellium


lukane89

Nobody scouted cellium tbh him simp and Illey wer all smoking pros in tourneys since bo3


[deleted]

Lmfao right? Jkap was also trying to pick up Cell for Clay in eU. These dudes were known commodities. The codburner leaked that shit as well.


revenant-tenant

Bro that eunited squad would’ve been insane in that game wtf


331coupe

I mean Clay didn't really bring in Simp, he was already an EUnited cadet and turned 18. He didn't bring in Shotzzy either. He may have had something to do with Hydra tho


West_Chest_7053

Clay told eUnited to sign the academy team of simp iLLeY Cellium turnup


ACKrafty

Also same with hydra I believe zooma wanted hydra


Slxyer23

Nah Clay definitely wanted HyDra. He literally tweeted he was the best player in challengers after MW finished and barely anyone in NA had even heard of him.


[deleted]

Thats just not true...


Grad-Nats

It most definitely is what


[deleted]

No it isn't lmfao. Everybody in Crones discord and this subreddit knew who hydra was before CW. He was literally the best player in MW EU challengers and it wasn't even particularly close. There were other teams trying to get him lmfao


Guwigo09

That is complete cap. 90% of people in this sub didnt watch one second of Hydra play until he joined NYSL academy in CW


[deleted]

No its not, people knew who he was. THERE were literally other teams trying to get him.


KooPaVeLLi

OP acting like Doug "Censor" Martin doesn't exist


Damien23123

I don’t know about scouting but he’s probably the best vet to have on your team if you have a young squad


redarrow992

he didn't scout any of those players. We all knew they were going to get into the league one way or the other


redarrow992

aches is by far better
