Crimsix claims Chicago Huntsmen broke CDL gentlemen\u2019s agreement ActivisionDallas Empire pro player Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter has criticized Chicago Huntsmen for supposedly breaking a gentlemen\u2019s agreement during their grand final clash at the Call of Duty League London Home Series. If you have kept tabs on the Call of Duty League\u2019s opening events, it\u2019s no secret that the eCl\u00e1sico rivalry between the teams linked with Team Envy and OpTic Gaming is still going strong on Modern Warfare. While the feud between Crimsix and Huntsmen\u2019s Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner continues to grow over social media, the 26-year-old may have added more fuel to the fire during his February 16 Twitch broadcast. After losing their opening two series against the Huntsmen, Empire found themselves locking horns with the Chicago squad for the third time in two events in the finale of the London Home Series, the first CDL event to feature an eight-team bracket format. Of course, Crimsix was out for revenge after taking two 3-1 defeats at the hands of the team,but the slaying power of Dylan \u2018Envoy\u2019 Hannon and Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper proved too strong in their first map on Azhir Cave. Looking back over the footage from their titanic clash in England\u2019s capital, Crimsix realized that Huntsmen were using three stun grenades during their Hardpoint clash \u2014 which, according to the Empire star, goes against the gentlemen\u2019s agreement created by the pro teams. \u201cThree stuns\u2026 When the [gentlemen\u2019s agreement] is two stuns, two flashes and one smoke,\u201d C6 shared. The former world champ went on to explain how stuns are more overpowered on Azhir Cave, too. \u201cOn the one map where stuns are like that, I think stuns are f**king better than flashes as is,\u201d Porter continues. \u201cCave is the epitome of running through smokes \u2013 and what counters that? Stuns.\u201d Crimsix then went on to explain how Huntsmen\u2019s use of stuns throughout the entire series has a different effect on how their team would counter that meta. \u201cPoint is, on that map, if that [gentlemen\u2019s agreement] didn\u2019t exist, our team would probably be running f**king four stuns,\u201d he contested. Porter continued: \u201cEven if it doesn\u2019t affect the game, it\u2019s just a f**king matter of principle, you know. Past is the past, we still got second. They ran three stuns the whole series, which also impacts [Search & Destroy].\u201d C6 claimed that pro teams are \u201croasting the f**k\u201d out of Chicago Huntsmen now that the situation is public, while stating that it was the second time that the team had broken previously agreed terms after Envoy supposedly ran a Ghillie suit on Azhir Cave, something which Crimsix admits is \u201cminor.\u201d When prompted as to whether CDL London would have ended differently in a situation where Huntsmen didn\u2019t use three stuns, Crim admitted that he didn\u2019t know, but suggested that if the playing field was even, then you could chalk the loss off to better tactics from the opposition. But given that Huntsmen were using items restricted by the gentlemen\u2019s agreement, this is not the case. Following the information surfacing, the Empire AR said that both teams had a discussion and the members of Huntsmen stated that it was an \u201chonest mistake.\u201d However, the CoD veteran appeared skeptical over their response, saying: \u201cAt the end of the day, imagine if they accidentally ran two smokes and said that it was an honest mistake. That\u2019s bullsh*t, you know?\u201d While Huntsmen did not strictly break any of the rules stipulated by the CDL competitive settings, gentlemen\u2019s agreements are implemented by pro teams to stop overpowered weapons, items, or strategies from dominating the game, and it is expected that every player adheres to these when playing on LAN. Fans are enjoying the back-and-forth between both teams, but they will have to wait until Dallas\u2019 home series on March 28-29 to see them both potentially compete against one another again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
