Ghosty's Insane Journey to OpTic | Ghosty | The Eavesdrop Podcast Ep. 153
I never would’ve guessed he came up like this. Nothing but respect for what he’s accomplished!
It really is unique. The kid was dropped from every challengers team he played on one year, then ends up beating all of his former teams to win the cup and then gets signed to the biggest org in CDL the next year. You couldn't write a better story
Props to this man,
I had parents with addiction issues. Ended up with drug/alcohol problems my self.
Been clean for 7 years after I got out of prison.
Glad to see Dan succeeding and thriving!!! Seems like a really good kid.
Proud of you brother for getting clean I’m 4 years clean right now
@@oqesu that's huge!!
Keep going my man, life is great.
Keep it up big guy proud of you ✊
Proud of you brotha🫡
💪hell yeah keep it up!
Dan is OpTic. This kid is special HECZ. You found a diamond in the rough. He is so pure and genuine. What a role model...im 23 and I look up to that kind of mentality. Just graduated college myself and Ghosty made me wanna grind even more. The kid has been THROUGH IT
Agree 1000% hope he performs extremely well so he can hopefully stay.
@@blssms he played amazing at his first pro major, the team just needs to scrim more and get more chemistry and theyre golden.
@@perfctlyy yeah they got progressively better and better during the tournament.
For real seeing someone who’s been through this and hasn’t made it a excuse to be less but made it his motivation to be better is crazy. This kid deserves the world and the green wall stands w Dan !
Preach‼️❤️
Hearing about his upbringing and how his parents struggle with substance abuse just gave me so much more respect for him. I can relate heavy. Going through what he did, and still does, and yet continuing to be so well-mannered and kind is a hard thing to do. Stand-up young kid right here.
Imagine having tics lmfao needs to go get that fixet
@@snaketaylor1125 tf is wrong with you
“I’ll never blame them for it, but I’ll definitely hate them for it.”
@@TehThxsis love this quote.
Ghosty seems like the kind of guy OpTic needed. Humble, smart, on a good schedule, driven. Hopefully he can instill this in the optic culture
Took 7 minutes and I am absolutely 100000% invested in Dan. Dudes already beaten the odds just being here. Legend.
pardon my language, but i fucking love this kid. Fantasic story that resignates with me, wish you all the best Dan!
He may get dropped soon
@@Kevin-hq1yt How you come up with that? Dude developed so much progress at the optic tournament and has been doing so good on pro 8s vs other pros and had 40elims on one match vs shotzzys and others, I know it’s just pro 8s but still great practice.
@@brandoncox9063 8s dont have any weight on roster decisions neither do kills. They said he may get dropped and i say the same with Huke because of the possibilities of signing bigger players. Whether it happens or not we’ll have to wait for the rest of the year to play out and off season. But lots of pros to him staying considering his impact on them already with becoming the facilitator for the team and being as talented as he is.
@@Kevin-hq1yt I think after this podcast H3cz likes the kid. I’m sure he’ll have a say for sure. A mind like his, can with time become a great leader.
@@Prqphecy they liked envoy and iLLeY too. It doesn’t matter, Gunless had a tough upbringing too he still got dropped. At the end of the day they are going to bring in whoever they think gives them a better chance of winning.
Insane how such a well-spoken, mature, and overall good dude could be the outcome of such a harsh growing environment. Respected his journey already but damn, that's different.
Diamonds are formed under high pressure.
"you're with the pinnacle, don't be a long for the ride, be part of it" - OpTic Ghosty 2023. Magnificent quote.
This kid fuckin oozes confidence bro. He reminds me of a young clayster, with all this kid has been thru for him to have the mindset he has in monumental for this org and really a priceless piece to a championship Team. Bro like the Draymond Green to prime steph and klay.
Ghosty is a fuckin beast. A lot of people were talking shit because his KD wasn't crazy, not realizing the selflessness he plays with. Dude had crazy slaying ability in challengers, that didn't just go away. He's just doing his job and playing right to help his teammates excel. He's the APG of the COD team if you will. Love to see it.
Apg was a perfect way to put it brudda
Kid gets the most time in hills in hardpoint and a lot of the dirty work his kd will never be consistently amazing
26:25 This is what OpTic stands for, this is why "we" support it so passionately, Hecz❤
I hope Dan can stay here for a long time, the guy is unreal..
Him & huke getting replaced in the next game if they don’t win a major this year
That's what, at the end of the day they'll have to perform and win events now, Pred and Sib are waiting in the wings...
@@esskay1771 i have a strong feeling dan stays huke is just in a bad situation bc of the consistency pred brings
Yeah that's possible, in either case, they've got to win a chip (possibly even Champs) for this team to stick around..
@@esskay1771 every team needs a player like ghosty to win. Personally I think Ghosty brings more to a team than sib does. This does not mean that ghosty is a more talented player tho. But if you have a full roster of superstars, it almost never works. If Ghosty had pred, shotzzy and dashy to play off of, then he would look better too
I hope Ghosty realizes how many kids he's going to inspire with his story
Shout out to the guy
This is why esports need to release content like this where we get to see the lives of their players... I am a fan of this kid no matter where he goes
You can see how Hecz is really touched by his story. This man's story in 5 years gonna be insane.
Let's not get too ahead of ourselves
@@padarousou 😂😂😂
Kid is the definition of never judge a book by its cover. Mad respect to Dan, it takes a different kind of strength to make it out like he did.
8 minutes in this kids already shocked me, very mature
I love Hecz, you can tell he cares about everyone. Look at his face “I’m sorry, who’s major? WHO’S?? Thank you” genuine leadership
8 minutes in and I'm a fan. Makes sense that he's a leader on the team now. I hope he's healing though!
I hope he knows how inspiring his story is! Wish this kid nothing but his success in his future!
Please keep this kid around. He's got a bright future, and I'm a huge fan now.
Very well spoken young man. I'll root for him wherever he goes. Same as gunless. I really found respect n praise for him once I listened to his interview.
Never wanted a player to succeed more than him, so proud of how much he's already accomplished ❤
OpTic through and through. Great fit for the team and culture! Welcome Dan!!
Damn, I'm really happy you guys did this podcast. So happy for Ghosty to join OpTic, he's exactly the kind of person I want to see doing well under the brand. As someone who also grew up with a fairly tough home life I respect him a lot for pulling himself up by his bootstraps. Hope he wins it all, we got you Dan #Greenwall
This guy is special man.
He radiates some energy even through the screen.
I am excited to see how he ages in not only OpTic, but the sport in general.
Massive respect and much love to Dan. Going through what he has experienced already at such a young age is crazy. Hope to see more of him in content with the team
Love that he shared his story. A lot of people can relate too this. Thanks Hecz and Ghosty for doing this stay striving and grinding‼️💫
Thanks Dan for sharing your story. You’re an inspiration and example of perseverance. Nothing was going to stop you from reaching your dreams. I’m rooting for you to succeed even more after hearing all that you had to overcome at such an early age.
Man. Nothing but love for this dude Ghosty. Dan is still young and sets a perfect example for the youngins!! Keep him around man, love the green wall since I was 13 and I’m 20 now. Salute to the CDL team!!!
Wow. My heart goes out to ghosty. He truly is special after going through what he did and turning out this great. He just gained a fan for life. Hoping he sees endless success
Big fan of what he’s overcome. I’ll be rooting for him more now.
Every 10 minutes another thing impressed me about this kid! From his upbringing, to his education, to his hustle! I hope he stays with OpTic for a long time
It's crazy how similar his upbringing is to mine. Unfortunately, my father passed away in February and my mom is still an alcoholic. This makes me root for this guy even more! If he can make it we all can.
S/o to Hecz for giving Ghosty his flowers, ability to share his story and time to shine.
As well as reminding him that its not just one persons place to be in optic but the hard work a collective that allows optic to be what it is today.
this kid deserves to be happy and i cant be more happier that Dan is on the team i support. i really want him to succeed and stay for a looooong time because i for sure can spot a winner and also a incompetent person that just want a free ride (some followers and money) and from the way he talks i know for sure that he is aware of that and knows that he wants to be successful and take it to the next level
Lo supe desde que llego al equipo este chico tiene algo especial, mucha humildad.
Man I wasn’t sure about this kid at first..now that I know his story I adore the kid’s journey and his ability to not fold when life hits. His ambition be better than the hand he was dealt is inexplicable and the way the team has come together he has totally changed my perspective..I support this kid I really hope he turn into a special one bcuz this is how most of them are made!!!
This guy is absolute gold. Such a good example of how YOU decide who you are, not your past. Love him and wish nothing but the best for him. GREEN WALL GOT A GOOD ONE.💚💚💚💚
Upmost respect. Takes a different kind to do what he’s done at the age he did.
This interview made me even more of a fan of him. I really hope this dude succeeds with this team
Dan,
Good for you man, what an inspiring story. I always considered myself a hard worker, self made, etc. but hearing what you went through and achieved is inspirational. Excited to see where you go and what you can achieve now that you have earned opportunity at your fingertips.
CJ
This guy is an incredible role model and massively inspirational, i really respect his journey. What a brilliant addition to OpTic, slay on kid!
This was a GREAT vid. It was absolutely great getting insight into this member. Please consider doing more of these episodes with the other players.
Got a diamond in the rough with this one. With the mindset he has he’s gonna be a force in the league for years to come. Keep up the work ghosty
I hope that even if Ghosty isn't on a team one day that he finds his permanent place in Optic, where he has landed is so well deserved!
Banger Episode, much love and support goes out to the New OpTic Rookie Ghosty! Unreal journey that he has been on and a very well spoken humble young man. Congrats on Leveling up in life kid!
I met Dan a few years ago under an ORG named BearClaw. When I shared my story with him to find out we had almost identical stories it blew my mind. To now see him here on Optic… I’ve been speechless, nothing but happiness and love for you Dan. Keep growing and keep glowing. You’re a star brotha.
Really great interview. Hope we keep Ghosty for next year. Got to respect his story and getting to where he is.
I have to say this was a really thoughtful and well done interview/conversation with an incredibly detailed insight into Dan's life and his journey. I love Hecz's reactions and pensiveness in this interview too, I think this seems like the most thoughtful and deep Hecz has been made to feel in a while! The admiration and respect he has for Dan and his journey is clear to hear and you almost feel as the interview goes on that Hecz's appreciation for Dan just gets bigger. Ghosty's personality, character and fortitude seems like a really great fit for OpTic, you can tell that Hecz is very glad he is part of the team. I knew nothing about Dan before this interview, only heard of him from Boston Major onwards, but hearing his story just makes me more pleased that he was able to make it to OpTic and definitely makes me want to root for him to succeed. Always nice when good people get good shit - seems like a bit of justice in the world.
My favorite interview....props to Dan for making the most out of his life.
Gotta love this kid. Hardships turn kids into leaders, i can see why he has such a good head on him.
I have been waiting for this one, as someone who has followed CoD since the 1st ever iteration and followed Scumps career from the get go. Ghosty is the one I truely feel is going to leave a huge mark on CoD. Humble, educated, career driven, has a back up plan (legal stuff) , has his head screwed on. I truely hope OpTic does every thing it can to ensure Ghosty gets all the support and help to bring him along for the ride on a OpTic family career. I can see him doing "off season" content for OpTic doing humanitarian visits (so much content there) . This guy is a all round decent human being. My only... critique... being ,,, damn Ghosty man... you do a podcast with the biggest org owner in CoD do your due dillagence, research prior to interview on the goat Hecz . Much love to OpTic, you get me through the dark days and keep me motivated.
Kid with an amazing head on his shoulders! Wish all the best for him. Perfect addition to the Optic family.
This was one of my favorite ones, liked Dan already, now I love the dude. Great convo to get to listen to!
This made me even more of a fan of him. So glad he got on optic. Such a mature dude for his age. Hopefully all is well for him in his personal life
Ghosty is GOATED! GOD BLESS U my dude.. the grind is real, keep grinding my man...
So much respect for what ghosty has accomplished. I feel like I can relate to the upbringing. The fact you made the best of your situation is dope. Role model to me for sure and I'm 23 lol. hope you stay for a long time buddy.
One of the best podcasts I've listened to in a long time. What a guy Ghosty is. Big respect. He's got a fan in me.
This is a legend in the making story I love me some Ghosty
I went through a lot of similar things like mom with drug addiction but you got to keep moving on only you can help yourself
Much love
My wife and I have the blessing of fostering a baby boy. It's so great to see such a public story to show how valuable the foster care system can be. Good work Dan. Keep working hard, you can do anything
The resiliency on this kid is inspiring. You got a good one here hecz, don’t let him go. His mindset is mature and focused, definitely want this guy on the squad.
This is what makes OpTic OG. Hecto you sir are a genius and your real passion and interest in your players is what has allowed us to get to know them as people. This podcast is such a perfect representation of you as a gm and why the green wall has become so strong. Always giving the players the space and platform to be themselves and create their story.
Dan is one of the coolest people I’ve met and talked to. Happy to see where he’s at today!!! Keep grinding brother you deserve it.
loved ghosty and this made me love him even more, rlly hope he cements his spot on this roster
So happy i watched this. So much respect to you DanGhosty, and so greatful to have someone like you on our team!
This is hands down one of my favourite episodes to date! There's no doubt Ghosty is going to succeed in whatever he puts his mind too. Crazy come up! A come up I've never heard before from the OpTic team. Crazy!
Dope interview. Much respect. Keep grinding brodie I’m with you
One of the best podcasts I’ve seen to this day love you ghosty love the green wall in all y’all are doing rn crush it
Might be the best interview I've watched on here. Not just bc his story but the way he tells it and how great an outlook on life its given him. How can you not root for this guy?
I take my hat off to you brother. Nothing but full respect and support towards Ghosty. Wishing all the best in your endeavours.
i’m 19 and graduated from Oswego High School in Illinois as well. crazy how i’ve never seen Dan in school or anything. we must’ve both been very quiet kids but that’s so crazy to hear. always hear about him bc of CCL. never knew he was this close to me. Small world
Love the rawness of this one. Honestly so much respect for ghosty. Got to got to got to keep him around optic. Kids going to be great either on the cod team or just being a part of the org / family.
All the respect to Ghosty/Dan his story really was touching and I cannot wait to see what the future holds him. Good head on his shoulders, and a goated vision. Keep slaying Dan!
W Eavesdrop
What a grounded, well spoken young man Dan is, through such adversity....truly inspirational 💚
oooooh baby! as a greenwall member since 2011. Having a kid like Ghosty join and watching this pod, I can't be more excited for him and the org. Nothing but love Dan.
amazing story. Wishing nothing but the best for him. He's earned this opportunity
Such an incredible story man shout out Dan Ghosty and HECZ
Loved soaking it all in THE BEST PODCAST
I relate to him on such a personnel level. Its hard coming up like that, and to see how fair he's come feels nice. I just recently hit my one year anniversary at my dream job NASA. Seems like he got his too. Congrats man!
what a fucking amazing kid. absolutely love his worldview and determination. i couldn't be more glad he's repping OG
This podcast hit deep. my respect for Ghosty just went up 👍🏾
I love this kid, man. Touching story, very intelligent, and solid outlook on life. This was a heartwarming podcast through and through. Shout out to HECZ for putting this out, and I think I have found my new favorite COD player. Good luck Ghosty!!
This was a banger of a podcast! Enjoyed every moment. Intellectual and funny. Ghosty definitely a fan
From the upbringing to grinding out challengers then getting onto OpTic. I hope Ghosty and the boys can get a ring, what a story that would be.
Definitely top 3 eavesdrop podcasts, did not expect that hats off this to kid, hope everything keeps going his way.
Respect to you Dan. Amazing hearing your story 🔥💚
Shoutout to Ghosty’s teachers and advisors for guiding him a good path. Hats off to you all
This kid is great! Love the team now and I hope the boys can stick around and build!
Might be the best eavesdrop yet. Ghosty’s story coupled with how easy going and able he is in conversation made it a v good listen
This was a great pod, love hearing about the path to pro for these awesome guys
great pod per usual, very mature and talented kid and with a story like that you just wanna root for em. suggestion, you should do one of these with prolute !
I pray this team goes all the way. What a story that would be especially after hearing his story 🤘🏻
An impressive and gritty young man.. You have my respect, kid 👌. Great pod!
Thats amazing you came from El Paso, Tx! Both of these gentlemen are inspirational!
Ghostyy is a young prodigy! Listening to him man I'm stoked for this guy. He has overcome so much adversity and is absolutely where he is supposed to be!
Props to Dan I never knew he was this well spoken he is very respectful and seems like a very nice well put together guy
Soooo much respect for Dan! He’s a perfect example of the saying “Never Give Up” I’m a bigger fan more now after hearing his story! #Greenwall
He is so so likeable man. Perfect blend of modesty and tenacity, hope we’ve just seen the tip of the iceberg from him.
Incredible podcast this is what separates OpTic from the rest love this kid and wish him all the best been a fan for many years and OpTic has always felt like more then just a team a org with people you can relate to and grow with throughout the years amazing org OpTic for life!
Man, I got a whole new respect for Ghosty....I love hearing the back stories...it makes a big difference in how somehow turns out as an adult...and to see how well Dan is doing is seriously awesome and inspiring
