With OpTic Texas\u2019 win at Major 1, Scump picked up his 30 pro championship in 10 different CoD titles. The team dominated the event as they went the entire bracket stage without dropping a single series, but they saw no reward in the finals for accomplishing that feat. OpTic\u2019s only advantage for coming from the upper bracket was a map veto, and now the King is begging the CDL to use the popular CWL format for finals. Scump wants Best-of-5 Finals in CDL In his first stream since winning Major 1, Scump watched the team\u2019s road to the championship. When a fan asked him about the finals format and having no advantage over FaZe, the GOAT didn\u2019t hold back. \u201cI feel like there has to be some sort of advantage [in finals]\u2026 One veto, that\u2019s all we get. There\u2019s literally \u2013 there\u2019s almost no advantage.\u201d Scump doesn\u2019t understand how the CDL thinks having one map veto when you play nine of the 10 in a series is considered an advantage.

If we would have lost, we would have lost one series, technically.\u201d He added that he would love to see the Bo5 format return and that \u201ca lot of people want it to be two Best-of-5s, too.\u201d It\u2019s the third year of the CDL, and with the season already off and rolling it would be shocking to see a format change midyear. But the pros seem adamant on making this problem heard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scump calls for CDL to revert to CWL format after winning $500K Major 1 Twitter: @OpTicTexasCall of Duty legend Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner is calling for the CDL to change back to a popular format the CWL used in Grand Finals, despite winning the $500K Major 1.
