Though Karma touched on how previous letdowns in his pro career made him feel like he \u201cneeded a break,\u201d a major concern lied in teammate Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner\u2019s distance from the team at the time. \u201cI eventually came back and was like \u2018Listen, I will not play if Seth still lives where he does, like I won\u2019t,\u2019\u201d Karma said. It seems like Karma knew how ambitious the lineup was, and needed some form of assurance that the star-studded roster would be able to practice and perform at the level they could on paper. \u201cUnless you guarantee [that Scump would live closer], then I\u2019m not joining,\u201d Karma recalled. \u201c\u2026 And I still wasn\u2019t 100%, but that\u2019s like the first thing that has to happen. He\u2019s playing on one bar [of Internet connection] everyday like I\u2019m not playing.\u201d H3CZ did eventually guarantee it, but the process to get Scump down to Texas wasn\u2019t as straightforward as the CEO might have hoped for. \u201cBro, you don\u2019t even know how tough it was to get him the fuck away from California,\u201d H3CZ said. \u201c[Scump] was willing to move, but it was all these external factors that was fucking keeping him there to the very last moment.\u201d (Timestamp at 1:37:35 for mobile viewers) It got so bad that Scump suggested if he could just play out of California, but that didn\u2019t work for the CEO, saying: \u201cSeth, if you\u2019re not on a fucking plane tonight, I\u2019ve made promises that I\u2019m going to keep. Just fucking know that.\u201d Karma recalled putting in his two cents to motivate Scump to fly out with the team as he recalled saying: \u201cListen [Scump], if you don\u2019t move, I\u2019m not joining [OpTic]. I\u2019m doing something else.\u201d Even though it all worked out in the end, the lead up to getting Karma on the team had an incredible amount of external factors weighing on the process that eventually formed one of the deepest rosters in the Call of Duty scene.
