H3CZ reassures OpTic fans over Scump\u2019s future in competitive CoD CDL\/H3CZOpTic Chicago owner Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez has reassured fans that legendary Call of Duty player Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner has plenty of gas left in the tank, and could be competing at the highest level for another 6 years. Recent shifts in the CDL offseason saw the upcoming year of competition become incredibly interesting. Not only will Nadeshot\u2019s 100 Thieves compete in Call of Duty for the first time since Black Ops 4, but H3CZ\u2019s reacquisition of OpTic (now OpTic Chicago) means Scump, FormaL and Dashy have been reunited with the iconic esports brand. However, despite the promise they are showing in scrimmages, questions have continued to circulate about the future of Scump, the veteran who has long been a staple of the OpTic Gaming brand. He has been one of competitive CoD\u2019s biggest names since Black Ops II and, despite rumors, H3CZ believes there are plenty more years to come from the Pennsylvania native. Speaking on the Charlie Intel podcast, H3CZ suggested that Scump has 5 or 6 years ahead of him, and that he has no plans of competing in Call of Duty without him. While H3CZ conceded that Scump\u2019s career trajectory could change, he stated that, like OpTic\u2019s BigTymeR, he expects Scump to always be a part of his content and OpTic Chicago more widely. Referring more specifically to Call of Duty, H3CZ said: \u201cIt\u2019s only in the back of peoples\u2019 heads because people ask \u2018Are you gonna retire?\u2019 If nobody would have ever asked him, I don\u2019t think in his head being 24 years old, he\u2019s ever thought that maybe it\u2019s time to retire. He\u2019s still out-gunning some of the young people that are coming into the space that are supposed to be super cracked.\u201d Timestamp: 37:40 \u201cHe\u2019s still a very competitive person,\u201d H3CZ finished, \u201cand as long as we put a very competitive team around him, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s reason for him to retire anytime soon. So, he says 3-4 years, I say 5-6. It depends on how much fun we\u2019re having.\u201d Of course, the future could change for Scump. Prolonged struggles could see him hang up the controller slightly earlier but sustained success \u2013 the kind we have grown used to seeing from the King \u2013 could mean we see him at the top of CoD esports for some time yet. Thinking less about the long term, we\u2019re incredibly excited to see what the revitalized OpTic can do in the CDL with its star-studded roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
