Clayster Questions Why Nobody Said Anything About Scump\u2019s Celebrations vs Rise Nation When Seth \u201cScump\u201d Abner celebrated loudly in a win over Rise Nation at the CWL Pro League, James \u201cClayster\u201d Eubanks was surprised to see little backlash directed at the OpTic player. Clayster has a reputation for getting hyped up on stage during matches, never shying away from showing his emotions especially after a big win, but not everyone is a fan of the antics. Clayster\u2019s celebrations during eUnited\u2019s earlier match against OpTic were unfortunately premature, as after making a \u2018choke\u2019 gesture towards his opponents following the first maps, eUnited actually went on to lose the series 3-2. Unsurprisingly, Clayster\u2019s interactions on social media quickly became volatile, with OpTic fans all too happy to remind him how his celebration had backfired.

The match secured them their spot in playoffs if they won, and after completing the 3-1 victory, Scump got hyped up like fans have rarely seen this season. Inb4 \u201cSeth actually wins the game\u201d because you\u2019re only allowed to get hype after it doesn\u2019t matter anymore \u2014 eU Clayster (@Clayster) July 18, 2018 Actually, we got smoked all five maps vs Optic, they just choked the first two. You can put up a choke sign when someone burns two streaks and doesn\u2019t win the round. \u2014 eU Clayster (@Clayster) July 18, 2018 There has been increased scrutiny over player behavior on stage recently, following the scenes at the Gears New Orleans tournament which saw professional Gears players be utterly ruthless in their trash talk. While some fans think that the on stage antics bring extra excitement and storylines to the scene, others view it as unbecoming of professionals. Clayster is perhaps pointing out the disparity between who is \u2018allowed\u2019 to get hype, according to fans. Fan favorites like Scump might be encouraged to get loud, whereas a more polarizing figure like Clayster receives backlash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
