Accuracy Explains Why He Can Come Across as Having a Chip On His Shoulder: \u201cA lot of people know what they\u2019re doing when they\u2019re manipulating their fan bases\u201d Team Kaliber\u2019s Lamar \u2018Accuracy\u2019 Abedi has explained why he comes across as having \u201ca chip on his shoulder\u201d during episode six of the CoD Cast. After years of struggling to reach the top of the competitive Call of Duty scene, Lamar \u2018Accuracy\u2019 Abedi finally achieved his goal by winning back-to-back events at CWL Dallas and CWL New Orleans following the release of CoD: WWII. Since then the 21 year old has found himself in the middle of a number of rather public debates that have, at times, put him at odds with prominent members of the community and competitive Call of Duty fans. However, Accuracy has regularly taken to Twitter to state that he is simply being real and saying the things that all the other professional players are saying behind the scenes. During Episode 6 of the CoD Cast on May 9th, Anthony \u2018NAMELESS\u2019 Wheeler decided to ask Accuracy why he sometimes comes across as someone that has such a big chip on his shoulder. The TK player concentrated particularly on the comments from some fans about him not achieving a great deal prior to Call of Duty WWII, reminding them that he was the victim of a very unlucky situation during Advanced Warfare as a part of Aware Gaming. \u201cI saw that Reddit post that guy made about my biography or whatever and like in Advanced Warfare I had like a great team with Huke, who was like best player in the game, TJ, and Happy. [\u2026] And then right after that my League Spot got sold to TCM and we were just kicked out of the league and we couldn\u2019t even requalify. [\u2026] Did everyone forget about that? That\u2019s insane.\u201d His troubles didn\u2019t end there, though, as he found himself stuck in a contract situation during Black Ops 3 with a buyout price that he and NAMELESS say was unrealistic at the time. He was playing with Cloud9 for a short period of time before being loaned out to Counter Logic Gaming during Season 1. However, he remained contracted to Cloud9 for Season 2 and potential new teams were unable to meet his buyout price. \u201cI was on Cloud9 for a little bit and then they loaned me to CLG for like the remainder of Season 1 and then we like choked requalifying for the League and then Cloud9\u2019s new team qualified for the League. [\u2026] Going into Season 2 I had to League offers to join eLevate or Luminosity and I wasn\u2019t playing for the Cloud9 roster [\u2026] but the owner wanted a very strong buyout for me that like wasn\u2019t normal at the time in Call of Duty even though I wasn\u2019t playing for the team.\u201d NAMELESS describes the situation as \u201cabsurd\u201d and Accuracy recalls that he was held to the contract until the end of Season 2 while the other teams picked up other players. On the topic of always speaking his mind, Accuracy explains that he will never change who he is and believes that the fans need to be aware that some people act differently behind closed doors. \u201cI think it\u2019s really important because a lot of the fans don\u2019t know but behind the scenes all of the pros, we\u2019re all good friends, we all know how each other really acts and really are and what they really think. [\u2026] Whenever there\u2019s a livestream on or whenever they\u2019re on social media they act or have different views that are like completely different to what they say in private and I personally just don\u2019t like that at all. A lot of people know what they\u2019re doing when they\u2019re manipulating their fan bases or their personal fans or whatever into believing something when they know that\u2019s not the full truth of the situation.\u201d NAMELESS points out that there are two sides to that story though, reminding Accuracy that professional players have to maintain a certain level of professionalism in the public eye. However, Accuracy says that he doesn\u2019t believe anything that he says is particularly unprofessional and he feels as though he often receives the backlash for saying things that most other players are also thinking. Of course, there are some opinions that aren\u2019t shared by all of the other professionals, like his stance on coaches which caused an argument between numerous players on May 9th.
