Scump considering quitting pro CoD after slamming CDL player treatment CDLOpTic Chicago star Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner has continued his public outcry against the Call of Duty League, accusing them of treating players unfairly and revealing that the ongoing situation has forced him to \u201cquestion continuing to compete.\u201d [jwplayer fKo7sjsG] In a rather rare display of public vocality, Scump took several shots at the Call of Duty League on Twitter, his latest one perhaps being the most inflammatory. After tweeting that he feels the CoD League is using fines to essentially suppress and censor players\u2019 opinions that go against the league and Call of Duty in general, the veteran continued the onslaught with a post claiming that the CDL had \u201cmade\u201d them sign contracts under pressure. \u201cThe CDL also made us sign a player \u2018contract\u2019 in front of them without allowing us to run it by our lawyers at the player summit,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIt was a \u2018sign it now or you can\u2019t play at Minnesota [2020 Launch Weekend]\u2019 type of exchange. I\u2019m probably going to get fined for this too, just letting y\u2019all know.\u201d What\u2019s more, Scump revealed that this ongoing dilemma has caused him to think about potentially leaving the professional CoD scene: \u201cThey\u2019re doing us dirty and most are scared to speak out at all because they\u2019re going to fine us. Has made me question continuing to compete.\u201d Just prior to these tweets rolling out, he\u2019d just finished venting publicly about the CDL apparently fining him for promoting a game other than Call of Duty on his Twitch stream, which was due to a sponsored offseason broadcast. He also compared the current situation with the CDL\u2019s predecessor, the Call of Duty World League, claiming that \u201cthe CWL has no control over our channels, CDL owns them apparently.\u201d In response to Scump\u2019s tirade, Dallas Empire\u2019s Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter seemingly hinted that his former teammate may have been the only pro not to be on board with the players\u2019 plans to unionize before the 2021 season. However, Scump says he\u2019s now told James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks that he\u2019s had a change of heart. He followed up with a more elaborate explanation on his livestream: \u201cWhen the original players union petition was brought up to me, I got no information on it, just nothing. No one reached out again for months and months, and I tweet today and Clay instantly reached out: \u2018let\u2019s do it,\u2019 and I was like \u2018let\u2019s go, run it.’\u201d Here’s @scump speaking about potentially forming a CDL Players Union: “”Let’s go, run it.”” Looks like it’s now all just a matter of when, and not if. pic.twitter.com\/goE6fRbFHC \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) November 15, 2020 All of this started with a seemingly harmless Twitter post in which the 2017 World Champion went on a bit of a rant questioning why ranked playlists never gets included in CoD games at launch, with Black Ops Cold War being the latest example. After a brief interaction with Treyarch\u2019s David Vonderhaar about the topic, things began to escalate as Scump\u2019s tweets and replies to others turned into conversations accusing the CDL of using fines as a censorship tool. We have since reached out to the Call of Duty League and are awaiting official comment. As always, we will continue updating this story as more information becomes available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
