Octane angry over \u201cnonexistent\u201d competitive integrity after FaZe loss DexertoSeattle Surge\u2019s Main AR, Sam \u2018Octane\u2019 Larew, has hit out at Activision\u2019s Call of Duty League after being reverse swept by Atlanta FaZe following an extensive break due to a technical error. Coming into the match against Atlanta FaZe, plenty had chalked Octane and co. to roll over to the might of the Tiny Terrors. Although straight from the get-go, it was clear that the Seattle squad had other ideas. With former substitute Nicholas \u2018Proto\u2019 Maldonado starting in place of the now-retired Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow, Surge seemed to have the wind in their sails \u2014 taking an assertive 2-0 lead over FaZe in the series. But after edging out Atlanta FaZe 6-5 in the Search & Destroy, the CDL had to take an extensive break to look into \u2013 what was described as \u2013 a technical error with the broadcast. Following the technical reset, Atlanta FaZe mounted the series comeback and reverse swept the Seattle squad to take the series 3-2, after a nail-biting round 11 last map. Given that all momentum would have been taken from the Surge during the break, Octane vented his frustrations on Twitter \u2014 calling out the league\u2019s alleged lack of competitive integrity during his rant. \u201cOf course, bro. Literally laughable at the CDL\u2019s standard this year, Larew started. \u201cLegitimately laughable at the level of professionalism event after event.\u201d While Surge\u2019s substitute Ian \u2018Enable\u2019 Wyatt pitched in to praise Octane\u2019s outstanding performance against FaZe, the 22-year-old simply responded: \u201cOnto the next, gotta love this garbage league.\u201d Of FUCKING course bro literally laughable at the CDL\u2019s standard this year. Legitimately LAUGHABLE at the level of professionalism event after event. \u2014 Sam \u201cOctane\u201d Larew (@OctaneSam) June 13, 2020 Given that each player is representing a team that is franchised to the Call of Duty League, some were calling for Larew to remove his Tweets. But the Main AR simply responded: \u201cFine me. Competitive integrity is nonexistent.\u201d Fine me I don\u2019t give a fuck. Competitive integrity is nonexistent. \u2014 Sam \u201cOctane\u201d Larew (@OctaneSam) June 13, 2020 Former Chicago Huntsmen player, Peirce \u2018Gunless\u2019 Hillman, replied stating that Call of Duty esports has \u201cnever had competitive integrity.\u201d While having to pause for a technical reset is beyond the control of the league, it\u2019s clear to see how a lengthy break in an esport where momentum plays a big impact, can swing the tide in the opposition\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
