ACHES calls CDL\u2019s Scump tribute \u201cextremely disrespectful\u201d to Crimsix & Karma MLGTwo-time Call of Duty world champion Patrick \u2018ACHES\u2019 Price has called the Call of Duty League \u201cdisrespectful,\u201d after he claimed they showed their gratitude and respect towards the retired Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner \u2014 but failed to do the same for Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter or Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow. On January 17, Scump shocked the Call of Duty world by announcing his retirement earlier than expected, calling it quits after OpTic Texas\u2019 first batch of matches in Major 2 qualifiers. What followed was an outpouring of support from fans, content creators, pros, retired players, professional athletes, and more. Naturally, as the face of the game for over a decade now, the CDL itself paid its respects too, putting together video packages and highlight reels to show between matches. While many fans loved to see the moments of Scump throughout the years, it didn\u2019t quite sit right with some people, due mainly to other legends of the game not getting similar treatment. As ACHES said in the latest episode of the Reverse Sweep podcast, he actually found it \u201cextremely disrespectful\u201d that Crimsix and Karma failed to get the same treatment that Scump did. \u201cI know that Scump is by far and away, the most important \u2014 him and Nadeshot \u2014 to the Call of Duty competitive space ever,\u201d he explained. \u201cBut I do want to call out the CDL here, because it\u2019s honestly extremely disrespectful that they\u2019ve done this. \u201cWhen I retired, nothing. When Crim retired, nothing. When Damon retired, nothing. Obviously Seth got, as he should, as every player should, got their moment and recognition where a big deal was made \u2026 There\u2019s been a ton of legendary Call of Duty players who put 10+ years of their life into this space, into making this community everything that it could be. And they were never given their flowers by the CDL.\u201d Timestamp 1:00:24 Obviously, Scump is Call of Duty\u2019s biggest name, so it\u2019s no surprise that the CDL would pull out all the bells and whistles for this huge moment in COD esports history. However, according to Crimsix\u2019s former coach DREAL, there were plans for a commemorative piece similar to that for Scump \u2014 but it never saw the light of day. While Scump may now be retired, he\u2019s not out of the Call of Duty scene completely: in fact, his CDL Watch Party for qualifiers this past weekend was peaking higher than the official COD League stream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
