There is no doubt that two of the best players Scump has ever teamed with were Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper and Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2019 Otell. Both players are widely considered to be among the best Assault Rifle slayers in the game, and it would be hard to argue against the notion that Dashy is currently the top player in competitive Call of Duty. In a conversation with CWL caster and analyst Clint \u2018Maven\u2019 Evans, Scump compared and contrasted Dashy and FormaL in terms of their demeanor and style of play. Many would be surprised to hear that Scump pretty much sees the two players in the same light, and he said very little that would suggest there\u2019s much difference between the two. \u201cBruce [Dashy] is like the same as Matt when we first started team,\u201d he said. \u201cGreat vibes, amazing teammate, always is going to go off, you never expect him to have a bad series, he\u2019s just that good.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t really know what\u2019s different. They\u2019re very, very similar. Bruce\u2019s communication is kind of the same; they\u2019re both on the quiet side. It\u2019s really weird, I mean, we\u2019re going to keep grinding.\u201d \u201cThey\u2019re very very similar\u201d \u2013 @OpTic_Scumper comparing @DashySZN with former teammate @FormaLhttps:\/\/t.co\/NKHQSgV6Gh #CWLPS4 pic.twitter.com\/dhfSOalJZO \u2014 Call of Duty World League (@CODWorldLeague) February 11, 2019 It would be hard to miss Scump\u2019s use of the phrase \u201cwhen we first starting teaming\u201d when he was describing the similarities that FormaL had with Dashy. At the risk of reading too much into that, it seems that the complimentary things Scump had to say about FormaL only applied to the earlier years of their tenure as teammates. Of course, it\u2019s well documented that the two had a drastic falling out that led to FormaL being shipped off to Luminosity, although their relationship seems to have been mended since then. During their years as teammates, Scump and FormaL were part of arguably the greatest dynasty in Call of Duty esports, which culminated with the pair\u2019s first CWL Championship win in 2017. While there is still a long way to go and a lot of CoD to be played, but there are signs that point to another OpTic dynasty in the making, but this time with Dashy at the helm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpTic Gaming\u2019s Scump makes surprising comparisons between Dashy and FormaL Call of Duty pro superstar Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner has played with many top level players in his long career as a member of OpTic Gaming.
