Scump calls out pros over \u201cglorified scrims\u201d CDL Kickoff Classic tweets Call of Duty LeagueOpTic Chicago\u2019s Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner has called out his fellow pros calling the CDL Kickoff Classic \u201cglorified scrims,\u201d saying it\u2019s a \u201cpussy perspective.\u201d The CDL Kickoff Classic was the first time fans got to see competitive Call of Duty matches in the 2021 Black Ops Cold War season, with each franchise playing one match against some of their biggest rivals. There were a bunch of exciting matches and even some surprise results, firmly setting the tone for what should hopefully be a good year of Call of Duty League action. That said, since there was no real reward behind this event \u2014 no prize money, no League seeding \u2014 some players perhaps didn\u2019t take it too seriously. And Scump wasn\u2019t impressed. While discussing the kickoff event with fellow OpTic members Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez, Davis \u2018Hitch\u2019 Edwards, and Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper, Hitch mentioned Clayster\u2019s tweet (below), which called the matches a \u201cscrim.\u201d Lost 0-3 in the scrim to Dallas, back to the drawing board and we’ll see them next week for some more practice. GG’s to them! \u2014 Clayster (@Clayster) January 23, 2021 Scump didn\u2019t take kindly to this, and immediately called out Clay and any other pros with the same mindset during episode 10 of the OpTic podcast. \u201cWhat a pussy perspective,\u201d he exclaimed, making everyone laugh despite how serious he was being. \u201cIf you don\u2019t want to win anything when the public eye is watching you\u2026 \u2018Glorified scrim?\u2019 No, it\u2019s not.\u201d Explaining his point, Scump added: \u201cThis is the first match of the season. You want to set the tone with your team to carry out for the rest of the season. If you go out there and lose, your practice isn\u2019t working.\u201d Topic starts at 11:03 Finally, he made the point that he just doesn\u2019t understand the rationale behind the \u2018glorified scrims\u2019 sentiment. \u201cI don\u2019t understand how people would go into it with the mindset of \u2018I don\u2019t want to win this match.\u2019 We went in [wanting] to win this match, especially because it was 100 Thieves.\u201d Clayster could understandably have had similar thoughts, taking his New York Subliners side to battle against the world championship Dallas Empire team that dropped him. Alas, it seems that wasn\u2019t the case. While there technically might not have been any real \u2018meaning\u2019 behind these matches, there\u2019s no doubt Scump and his OpTic side went into it with a fire in their belly \u2014 and that should give fans a lot to be excited for as the season kicks off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
