OpTic\u2019s Scump reveals the process for how CoD pros decide on Gentlemen\u2019s Agreements OpTic Gaming Call of Duty team captain Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner has revealed some insight as to how Gentlemen\u2019s Agreements are organized in the pro scene. While technically not allowed by the CoD World League, GA\u2019s are a crucial aspect of every competitive season, as pro players and teams come together to agree not to use certain weapons, items, and, in this case of Black Ops 4, specialists. \u201cWhy do they do it? Just to try and make the game more competitive,\u201d Scump explained. \u201cAnd take out all of the cheesy stuff.\u201d While its common knowledge that there are numerous GA\u2019s forged during each season, the exact process for how they come to be is not often talked about. In an answer to a question posed to him during a live-stream, Scump explained that when a pro player or players notice something they don\u2019t like about a certain weapon or item, they reach out to the rest of the pro scene and propose that it gets banned via GA. This is normally done via group DM on Twitter, at which point each team then internally discusses the implications of the GA and has their team captain vote on whether to agree to the GA or not. Several pro players are known for proposing GAs quickly and often after a new game is released, especially Luminosity Gaming\u2019s Slacked and 100 Thieves\u2019 SlasheR, the latter of whom has been coming under criticism lately for certain GAs. Since Scump doesn\u2019t go into more detail, it would be interesting to know how many teams are represented in these GA discussions and votes, especially since these agreements tend to resound to the rest of the competitive scene. With there being no official list, it\u2019s not always clear which items and weapons have been banned via GA, especially since GAs often change throughout the course of a season, often following a major update or patch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
