Call of Duty player kicked off college esports program over viral trash talk clip ActivisionAfter intensely trash-talking his opponents, a local Call of Duty player was banned from their collegiate esports program. Competitive gaming ventures are driven on the foundations of passion and determination, and because of this, competitors often engage in trash-talking. Whether that be to get inside their opponent\u2019s head to knock them off their game or to big themselves up, the passion-filled rhetoric has become a staple in competitions of all kinds. And esports is no stranger to this. In fact, a Call of Duty player was ultimately banned from their local esports program due to an intense war of words after a match. Call of Duty player banned from CCL after trash-talking video goes viral In a video posted to Twitter by FiosRay, a CCL player now identified as Twitter user Qpann_ was seen getting into a war of words during a collegiate Call of Duty match. In the first video uploaded on April 24, 2022, Qpann_ can be seen trash-talking his opponents and verbally taunting their \u201cmid\u201d efforts. \u201cHey, where\u2019s the owner at?\u201d said Qpann as he began his speech. \u201cThis is the second time you have sent a team to Florida to lose to me!\u201d Immediately the player follows up his tirade, saying: \u201cYou\u2019ve wasted thousands of dollars to lose to me!\u201d His opponents can be seen in the video responding back to him as they heckle things like: \u201cYou\u2019re talking crap at a college league!\u201d I\u2019m crying this man\u2019s going rogue!!! pic.twitter.com\/McDBv3TsVq \u2014 Ray \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@FiosRay) April 24, 2022 In a second video posted by Twitter user, AGNCuatro captioned \u201cLove CoD,\u201d Qpann_ can be seen again yelling profanities and verbal taunts at his opponents in the esports room as onlookers take out their phones to record the moment. \u201cGet the f**k out of my venue!\u201d the collegiate player screams during another war of words. \u201cYou can beat me. Shut your f**king mouth!\u201d Following the video\u2019s viral moment, Qpann_ updated his Twitter followers on April 27, 2022, by letting them know that he was banned from the college esports program. People sounded off in the comment sections of both videos, offering their thoughts, as one person said: \u201cIt\u2019s just amazing how heated people get over this game, lmao.\u201d just got banned from my schools esports program and CCL team for talking trash at a local. ggs no more CCL for me \u2014 Q (@Qpann_) April 27, 2022 While another person said: \u201cThis is why I love CoD; you can feel the passion through the video. Even if it is cringe.\u201d While it is unclear what college this was and whether their esports program will issue a statement of some kind reacting to this viral trash-talking moment, it seems that the player is done with the CCL for the time being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
