Scump & more ex COD pros dominate XDefiant viewership in first month Ubisoft\/Twitch\/Call of Duty LeagueXDefiant launched on May 21, 2024, and became a very popular game among casual players and Twitch streamers alike, but one creator stood out above the rest in the game\u2019s first month: Call of Duty world champion and OpTic Gaming stalwart Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner. Ubisoft\u2019s first-person shooter was often referred to as the \u201cCOD Killer\u201d before it came out and, while it\u2019s unlikely any FPS could launch and displace Call of Duty at the top of the mountain, the game has certainly developed itself a strong player base. It\u2019s also seen moderate success on Twitch, after becoming one of the highest trending games during launch week and just about every top name on the platform trying it out. Scump was also joined by a number of ex Call of Duty pros at the top of the viewership rankings, with many of the game\u2019s finest players flocking to the new title. Here are the top 10 most watched XDefiant streamers of the first month, according to SullyGnome: As well as Scump, Chris \u2018Parasite\u2019 Duarte, Bryan \u2018Apathy\u2019 Zhelyazkov, Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag, and Sam \u2018Octane\u2019 Larew all sat in the top 10, with countless championships won between them. Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek rounded out the top 10, but with the most impressive hours watched to total hours streamed ratio, and could certainly have been far ahead of Scump if he streamed as much as the ex-pro. Elsewhere, Anthony \u2018Shotzzy\u2019 Cuevas-Castro came 20th, Tyler \u2018TeePee\u2019 Polchow came 25th, Tommy \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto came 30th, Anthony \u2018Methodz\u2019 Zinni came 40th, Trei \u2018Zer0\u2019 Morris came 46th, Josiah \u2018Slacked\u2019 Berry came 47th, and Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper came 48th. That\u2019s a lot of Call of Duty heritage picking up some strong viewership in XDefiant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
