Fan works out ridiculous stat OpTic Gaming \/ Scump TwitterA Call of Duty fan analyzed OpTic Gaming\u2019s Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner\u2019s storied pro career and found a bizarre correlation that might have the star player rethinking his choice of eyewear when big tournaments come around. Regardless of what era in Scump\u2019s career we point at there are bound to be troves of highlights to sift through that the pro player has produced. While there\u2019s no questioning Scump\u2019s impact on any given matchup, an incredible find by one fan could give Scump a major point to consider during primetime events. In a Reddit post, user \u2018vonsyy\u2019 reviewed the tapes to see how Scump performed \u201con major LAN events\u201d consisting of prize pools of $10,000+ or if held by a \u201csignificant Tournament organizer.\u201d But what intrigued the researcher was if Scump\u2019s choice of wearing glasses or contacts during those events had any impact on his performance, leading to an amazing conclusion. The Redditor sifted through numerous VODs of Scump\u2019s major events since Black Ops 1 all the way to Black Ops 4, and averaged the pro player\u2019s placements in those tournaments while noting if he had worn glasses or not. While vonsyy admitted there could be an error or two with some of the evidence, it still paints an interesting picture of how the pro has performed with respect to his choice of corrective lenses. The data points to Scump performing better when he goes into the match with contacts, seeing as some of his lower placements came when wearing glasses. Should Scump wear glasses during CoD events? Although the findings are an incredible feat of research with a unique twist from vonsyy, it doesn\u2019t seem like this could be completely conclusive since there are hundreds of factors that determines a team\u2019s placement in an event. But it seems as if the findings were enough to amusingly convince some fans that when a big even rolls through, Scump is better off ditching the eyewear. Despite how weird the stat is, Abner himself responded, explaining he was thankful that the fan took the time to do the maths, as he does actually feel a difference when he plays with or without his specs. Am actually very thankful he did. I personally feel very different with and without them on. \u2014 Seth Abner (@OpTic_Scumper) May 9, 2019 \u201cPetition to not allow scump to wear glasses,\u201d Reddit user \u2018Mohno02\u2019 joked. Even though Greenwall fans will take Scump on their team regardless of what he wears on the stage, the findings can give the pro an intriguing correlation to mull over for upcoming events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The real reason for Scump\u2019s CoD skills?
