Scump explains why he has no plans to stream full-time and stop competing OpTic Gaming\/Activision\/TwitchSeth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner is no doubt the biggest name in Call of Duty and one of the most well-known in the entire esports space, but after years of retirement rumors, he\u2019s explained why he hasn\u2019t called it quits on his career yet \u2014 and why he isn\u2019t massively interested in a shift to full-time streaming. Scump is one of the oldest players in the CoD League, approaching 27 but not showing any sign of slowing down. While retirement rumors have followed him for some time now \u2014 especially because of how big his content channels are and the inevitable success streaming would bring him \u2014 the King remains one of the most talented players in the league. During a recent video for OpTic Gaming, Scump spoke about retirement, streaming, and ultimately why he\u2019s still around. In a recreation of the ever-popular Hot Ones online series from First We Feast, Scump sat down with OpTic creative director Davis \u2018Hitch\u2019 Edwards for an interview while eating hot wings, with some more serious conversations littered between the jokes and hot wing-induced suffering.
