As for my thoughts, I myself have been watching Call of Duty since Black Ops 2 and have also admired Methodz. Methodz has an amazing personality and his streams on Twitch are always a blast to watch. He makes anything he plays on his stream entertaining. He is also a huge motivation, by many accounts he has had a tough career but he never gave up and he always keeps pushing and he is one of the driving forces for Call of Duty being what it is today. Methodz will definitely have success doing full-time content and I can’t wait for what he has in the works. Please supports Methodz on Twitch.
