Enable & Pacman: Scump getting his mojo back helped OpTic \u201cthrough the rough patch\u201d Call of Duty LeagueDespite a rough showing in Stage 2 Week 2 of the 2021 Call of Duty League season, OpTic Chicago has already rebounded in the eyes of our Reverse Sweep crew. Ian \u2018Enable\u2019 Wyatt, Jonathan \u2018Pacman\u2019 Tucker, and Katie Bedford discuss how important it was for Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner to get his mojo back. Stage 2 saw the biggest slump yet for the Green Wall. Throughout Week 2, OpTic failed to win a single map against Minnesota and Florida, dropping them to fifth in the Group B standings. One more loss at the LA Guerrillas Home Series and they would have been starting the Stage 2 Major in the Losers bracket. While the slump could be pinned on individual players or even specific game modes, it didn\u2019t last long. Just one week later and OpTic came out firing on all cylinders to sweep Seattle and take down Dallas. This was \u201cexactly what they needed to do,\u201d Enable argued. In light of a major bump in the road, they were able to turn things around faster than most would have predicted. \u201cUsually when that happens, it takes a little more time,\u201d Pacman said. But thanks in large part to Scump\u2019s regain, \u201cwe can look back at it now and just say, that was a bad couple of days.\u201d Big week of S&D from @OpTicCHI \ud83d\udca5 \u2022 3-0 vs Surge & Empire \u2022 Combined 18-5 round count \u2022 1.80 team K\/DAre OpTic’s Search struggles fixed? #CDL2021 pic.twitter.com\/2KusU2p3h1 \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) April 4, 2021 Having tweeted that he may have \u201clost his mojo\u201d for a brief stretch, Scump revealed he was indeed in a \u201cmajor slump.\u201d Helping lead the scene for the better part of a decade now, downturns like these are to be expected, according to Enable. \u201cWhen you compete for such a long time, it gets repetitive,\u201d the veteran explained. \u201cIt can become stale. \u201cFor Seth, he\u2019s one of the greatest Call of Duty players of all time. He has so much going for him, he\u2019s the biggest Call of Duty player in the League.\u201d Put simply, Scump doesn\u2019t \u201chave to compete.\u201d \ud83d\udc51 @Scump 2.0?@Enable says if he keeps his form he can take @OpTicCHI to a Major victory!#CDL2021 Major 2 Preview: https:\/\/t.co\/TG53TdZ9MD pic.twitter.com\/qOQqsjGjwU \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) April 8, 2021 \u201cHe\u2019s already made his career, his legacy, he has enough money to do whatever he wants. For him, it just comes down to having fun and wanting to get on every day.\u201d After a rough showing in Week 2, a fire has clearly been lit. Throughout the following two matchups, Scump was able to \u201cget his mojo back.\u201d Rapidly turning things around against Seattle and Dallas, Scump \u201cshowed his resilience,\u201d Enable added. He helped them avoid the Losers Bracket start and \u201cthey looked good doing it,\u201d Pacman said. OpTic just fell short in a nail-biting series against Toronto to kick off the Major. Despite this close loss, Enable firmly believes \u201cthey\u2019re gonna be on that upward trend again.\u201d If they keep the momentum rolling through the lower bracket, \u201cwho knows\u2026 Maybe they\u2019ll even get a first Major win.\u201d Read More: Scump calls for CDL roster change rules – Be sure to keep on top of everything in the Stage 2 Major as we bring you the latest results and highlights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
