Scump explains why he \u201chates\u201d the CDL format ActivisionFollowing their heartbreaking loss in the Stage 2 Major, OpTic Chicago\u2019s Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner has said that he hates the current Call of Duty League format. As it stands, CDL game weeks are spread over multiple days. For regular season matches, they take place from Thursday to Sunday, while Majors see games take place from Wednesday to Sunday. Fans are somewhat divided about the format, wanting to see more than two or three matches per day, and it appears players might be feeling the same way. While the current format is slightly different to that of the 2020 season, including Majors as bigger events more akin to the old CWL tournaments, Scump still isn\u2019t a fan. During the OpTic podcast after the Stage 2 Major, the team ended up discussing their performance, the surprise winners in Toronto Ultra, and, ultimately, why the format just doesn\u2019t work for them. \u201cThe CDL format sucks, I hate that sh*t,\u201d Scump said. \u201cThey just need to condense it. I don\u2019t know why it\u2019s four days a week. I don\u2019t know why the Major is five days.\u201d Teammate Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2019 Otell agreed with Scump, saying: \u201cI don\u2019t like playing one match a day. Think about it from FaZe\u2019s standpoint. They won the Winners Finals and then sat there cold, watching a team win two series before.\u201d Timestamp 8:10 The point is reiterated further by Dylan \u2018Envoy\u2019 Hannon, who said: \u201cBy the time we\u2019re done scrimming, the matches are already over. The other day, it was two 3-0s and it was a two-hour stream. It\u2019s two hours of CoD, you can\u2019t even get into it.\u201d Read More: CDL announces long-awaited return to LAN – This is something that fans have complained about with the current scheduling, with not enough matches to really sit down and get into. Additionally, CEO Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez said that \u201cYou need to be invested in the entire tournament and the path to the championship, as opposed to watching one hour of CoD.\u201d That, in itself, seems to be where much of the problem lies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
