OpTic Scump slams Minnesota ROKKR for \u201cclassless\u201d post-match tweets MLG \/ Call of Duty LeagueOpTic Chicago\u2019s Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner has hit out at fellow CDL team Minnesota ROKKR for their post-match tweets after the two orgs played out a nail-bitingly close encounter in the Stage II Major. Despite the organization\u2019s illustrious history, OpTic Chicago have struggled to mirror any of the OpTic brand\u2019s past successes this season. A decent group stage saw them start the Stage II Major in the Winners\u2019 Bracket, but a 3-1 loss to the Toronto Ultra dropped them into the Losers\u2019 Bracket. From there, they eliminated Seattle Surge, setting up a tie with the Minnesota ROKKR. It turned out to be one of the most memorable matches of the season, going all the way down to a Moscow Map 5 Round 11. OpTic were leading the final SnD 5-2 but, once again, couldn\u2019t close it out. Round 11 swung in OpTic\u2019s favor, with the Greenwall setting up a 4v2 over the A bomb site. Then, inexplicably, Envoy charged at Accuracy, giving the Minnesota man a free chance to make it a 2v3. Scump made it a 3v1 by eliminating Attach, before Accuracy finished every remaining member of Chicago in an ice-cold three-piece. WHAT THE **** JUST HAPPENED \ud83e\udd2f@ACCURACYLA WITH THE 1V3 TO WIN ROUND 11!!! pic.twitter.com\/txYNrZBl8T \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) April 10, 2021 The moment was remarkable, and prompted a now-deleted tweet from the ROKKR which read: \u201cWe are witnessing a breakdown.\u201d Attached to the tweet was an image of the OpTic\u2019s players\u2019 reactions, most with heads in hands. Scump was one of many to criticize the tweet, calling it \u201cdisrespectful\u201d and \u201cclassless\u201d.

Post the clutch, post your celebration, but kicking us like this? Your team was literally banking on us to get first seed last week. So unbelievably classless.\u201d This is some of the most disrespectful shit I seen. We are literally heartbroken and you use it for impressions? Post the clutch, post your celebration, but kicking us like this? Your team was literally banking on us to get first seed last week. So unbelievably classless. \u2014 OpTic Scump (@scump) April 11, 2021 Another tweet from the King said: \u201cThere is a HUGE difference between talking trash on LAN, and an org tweeting a picture of the other teams heartbroken cams after a heartbreaking loss.\u201d There is a HUGE difference between talking trash on LAN, and an org tweeting a picture of the other teams heartbroken cams after a heartbreaking loss. If you don\u2019t understand that, I guess I\u2019m soft. I\u2019ve taken my fair share of losses. It\u2019s all respect between the players. \u2014 OpTic Scump (@scump) April 11, 2021 There was a divided response. Ex-Call of Duty caster Chris Puckett was one to weigh in, echoing the opinion that the tweet was fine, and CoD has gone \u201csoft\u201d. Scump responded once again, highlighting the ROKKR\u2019s focus on OpTic\u2019s reaction, rather than their success. He went on to say that trash talk between players is fine, but the \u201ckick in the chest\u201d from an organization was unnecessary. Agreed. It\u2019s between the players though and we fist bump and say gg. This is a kick in the chest. \u2014 OpTic Scump (@scump) April 11, 2021 ROKKR have since deleted the tweet, apologizing to the OpTic Chicago players and saying it was \u201cout of line\u201d. After our match today, we posted a tweet that was out of line. We have deleted the tweet and apologize to the players from @OpTicCHI. \ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc9a GGs.@DylanEnvoy @scump @FormaL @DashySZN \u2014 Minnesota R\u00d8KKR (@ROKKR) April 11, 2021 Whatever followed the game, the Minnesota ROKKR will progress to Championship Sunday, meeting Toronto Ultra in Losers\u2019 Round 5. The winner of that will then face Dallas Empire in the Losers\u2019 Final, with Atlanta FaZe waiting in the Grand Final. OpTic, as has become a disappointing staple of their season, will be left lamenting missed chances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
