Is Call of Duty drama good for the CDL? OpTic\u2019s Scump and FormaL weigh in YouTube: OpTic ChicagoCompetitive Call of Duty drama has been back in full swing lately but is it actually good for the scene? OpTic Chicago\u2019s Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner and Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper weighed in on the recent arguments. When the biggest names in CoD go at it on social media, things tend to get fairly heated. From franchise owners to former commentators, the latest batch of drama had almost everyone chiming in. While it might have served as some entertainment for fans throughout the day, did it actually leave a good impression for the Call of Duty League? Two of the most experienced players in Scump and FormaL weighed in during the March 4 OpTic pre-show. From Scump\u2019s perspective, it\u2019s both \u201cgood and bad\u201d for the scene. \u201cIt makes us look like idiots,\u201d he explained. \u201cBut it also makes for more storylines.\u201d With members of 100 Thieves recently going blow for blow with Dallas Empire\u2019s CEO Mike \u2018Hastr0\u2019 Rufail, it caught the attention of everyone in the League. This hostility helped create a more intriguing storyline, according to the T2P duo. \u201cIt\u2019s good for the storylines,\u201d Scump said. \u201cIt definitely makes it a little more hype in certain matchups. Now, whenever Dallas and [LA Thieves] play, everyone\u2019s gonna be loving that.\u201d No strangers to trash-talking in their own amusing ways, FormaL recently argued that anyone offended is simply \u201csoft.\u201d Though if teams are going at it, he prefers for the beef to start in a genuine way. \u201cI like when it comes more naturally,\u201d the former world champion said. The latest drama might have been too artificial to do the scene any favors, according to FormaL. \u201cHastr0 kind of went in for no reason.\u201d The relevant topic begins at the 24:10 mark below. Regardless of where you stand on the matter, there\u2019s no denying that drama certainly adds some intrigue to future matchups. We may have to wait a minute to see the payoff surrounding another LA Thieves and Dallas Empire showdown. Though the two juggernauts could soon meet up in the current tournament. After a 3-0 win over the Subliners, OpTic is set to meet Empire in Round 2 of the Major.
