Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner is the biggest name in professional Call of Duty. From winning his first tournament in Black Ops 1 to capturing an elusive World Championship in 2017, his run has been practically unparalleled. Not only has he built an audience of 2.65 million subscribers on YouTube, he has also been among the best players in the entire game year over year. That run, however, is coming to an end in the Modern Warfare 2 season. First teased in OpTic\u2019s documentary series, The Process, \u2018The King\u2019 himself confirmed the news with a video on his channel. \u201cOne last dance, ladies and gentlemen. This will be my final year competing as a professional Call of Duty player,\u201d he said. In a follow-up to the initial announcement, he also clarified that it doesn\u2019t matter how OpTic performs next year, and that he\u2019ll be hanging up the sticks whether they win or lose. \u201cOne last season is pretty much all I\u2019ve got left in the tank.\u201d This mean\u2019s he\u2019ll have one last chance (alongside Illey, Shottzy, &#038; Dashy) to take home a CDL trophy and cement himself in the history books the same way he did in the pre-franchising era of competitive play. This marks the end of an 11 year run in which he collected 30 event wins, 18 of which came as a member of the legendary OpTic Dynasty roster that collected the aforementioned championship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scump confirms plans to retire from professional CoD after MW2 CDL season OpTic GamingOpTic Scump has been at the top of professional Call of Duty for more than a decade but he\u2019s decided that the Modern Warfare 2 season will be his last.
