Rivalries, both between teams and individual players, are commonplace in Call of Duty esports, so it\u2019s not a surprise when some decide to show up their opponents after handing them a loss. That was the case for Clayster, who waved goodbye to Evil Geniuses on the other side of the main stage after eUnited defeated them 3-2 in the second round of the Winners Bracket. With the moment being captured live on the CWL stream, and later posted on their official Twitter account, some took offense to the wave, calling it \u201ccringe\u201d and claiming Clay shouldn\u2019t have done that after he had been \u201ccarried\u201d to a series win by his teammates. However, the World Champion did not take back the gesture, instead offering an explanation that it was aimed at former teammate Jordan \u2018JKap\u2019 Kaplan. \u201cHuh, seems people are upset, what do ya know,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cOne thing I\u2019ll say: you guys are quick to forget that the guy tried to get me dropped off my team that I got him on, then when it didn\u2019t work, proceeded to do a month-long character assasination attempt on me, going as far as saying I\u2019m the f*cking CoDBurner. Have fun being upset.\u201d Only thing I\u2019ll say: You guys are quick to forget that guy tried to get me dropped off my team that I got him on then when it didn\u2019t work proceeded to do a month long character assassination attempt on me going as far as saying I\u2019m the fkin CoDburner. Have fun being upset \u2014 eU Clayster (@Clayster) August 17, 2019 Clayster is, of course, referring to a drawn out feud between he and JKap that took place several months ago, during really the only down period for eUnited this season. Following a dysmal last-place finish at CWL Fort Worth on March 17, the team decided to demote JKap to the bench, promoting young star Chris \u2018Simp\u2019 Lehr to the starting lineup.

While Clay tried to defuse the controversy by saying he had no hard feelings, JKap continued to take shots, calling him \u201ctoxic\u201d and a \u201cfake hype\u201d man. Following the switch, eUnited\u2019s incredible run of form has been well documented, as the team finished third at CWL London, the top seed in Division B of the CWL Pro League, and placed first at CWL Finals. JKap on the other hand, moved to Evil Geniuses when the roster lock was lifted mid-April, and while his team hasn\u2019t had nearly the success of eU, they still find themselves in the top eight of the $2 million CWL Championship.
