Call of Duty: Red Reserve players respond to allegations of stream sniping against OpTic during CMG ProDown Skrapz | DexertoRed Reserve\u2019s Call of Duty players have responded to accusations of stream sniping in an online tournament. The UK squad, now based in Las Vegas, were facing off against OpTic Gaming in Sunday\u2019s CMG Prodown event when they fell behind 4-0 in a game of Search and Destroy on Payload. They clawed their way back to 4-4 before finishing up with a 6-4 comeback victory. After dropping their 4-0 lead, OpTic players stopped their pre-round call outs of strategies and tactics \u2013 leading some viewers to suggest that the Red players were stream sniping. OpTic players who were streaming the event \u2013 Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner and Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2019 Otell \u2013 admitted to using a stream delay of 23 seconds to prevent any sort of stream sniping in Search and Destroy. Although OpTic\u2019s Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter did not have a stream delay in place and cut away from streaming the game, both he and Scump defended their opponents and stated that Red\u2019s players would not have been stream sniping. Taking to Twitter after the game, Red Reserve\u2019s Matthew \u2018Skrapz\u2019 Marshall responded to the accusations, stating: \u201cI\u2019d rather walk on glass for 30 seconds than stream watch in a pro down, this is practice & you guys have seen my set up.\u201d I\u2019d rather walk on glass for 30 seconds than stream watch in a pro down, this is practice & you guys have seen my set up :joyful: \u2014 skrapz (@skrapzg) December 3, 2018 However, the Brit couldn\u2019t resist posting an image making light of the situation moments later, showing multiple devices tuned into different OpTic streams! The popular player\u2019s caption simply said: \u201cSIKE\u201d Teammate Rhys \u2018Rated\u2019 Price, added: \u201cAre people fucking retarded? ooo I really want to win the CMG Showdown so bad I would stream snipe so I can get to a $200,000 CWL event next week and get fried, dumb idiots.\u201d Are people fucking retarded? ooo I really want to win the CMG Showdown so bad I would stream snipe so I can get to a $200,000 CWL event next week and get fried, dumb idiots. \u2014 Rhys Price (@Rated_COD) December 3, 2018 The UK team saw the funny side of the incident despite eventually losing the series to OpTic in a 4-2 map count. They will continue their run in the tournament on December 3 against Team Reciprocity in the losers semi-final. The winner of that match-up will face 100 Thieves in the Losers Finals for a chance to play OpTic in the Grand Finals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
