Scump on retirement rumors, possibly joining 100 Thieves and more on Nadeshot\u2019s podcast MLG \/ 100 ThievesCall of Duty League is beginning next year on 100 Thieves founder Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2018 Haag\u2019s podcast. Scump is one of the most storied CoD players in the world. The 24-year-old first joined OpTic in 2012 during Modern Warfare 3, and claimed a world championship in Infinite Warfare. The tenured veteran has worn OpTic\u2019s green for more years than some players have known about CoD, but now he\u2019s bracing for a new future after the founding of the new franchised league. Rumors have swirled recently that the star with nearly 30 major championship wins under his belt may be calling time on his career in the franchised world. Abner addressed those rumors, and his plans for the future, on a podcast with Nadeshot and Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop. Retirement Rumors After nine years with the Greenwall, and countless tournaments and titles, it would come as no surprise that Scump was thinking about putting down the controller. With his long-term organization disappearing into city-based franchises, even more so. That\u2019s not how the King\u2019s mind works, however. He wants to be the best and stay the best, for as long as he can. \u201cI am not retiring, people think I am,\u201d he said on the podcast.

The way my mind works is really weird, and I haven\u2019t talked about this as much, but when I want to do something I want to be completely committed. I\u2019m still a competitive Call of Duty player.\u201d The Switch to Fortnite While three years might be a long time, Scump knows his time in the CoD pro scene won\u2019t last forever. One suggestion podcast co-host CouRage raised was the possibility of Scump making the permanent switch to Fortnite. It\u2019s something he\u2019s considered before. \u201cMy Fortnite videos did surprisingly well, they were doing better than some of my CoD videos at the time,\u201d revealed Scump.

I would have loved to (make the swap) but there\u2019s so much pressure from the Greenwall and the supporters, if I were to do that and then go to a tournament and get top eight they would solely blame it on me playing Fortnite.\u201d Career End Goals There will come a time when Call of Duty no longer is the only thing dominating Scump\u2019s mind and time, however. When it does, he\u2019ll reassess what he\u2019s doing. One option, Nadeshot cheekily suggested in the podcast, was for him to join 100 Thieves as a content creator. \u201c100 Thieves? For content purposes? I mean yeah, that\u2019s definitely my end-goal,\u201d he said, before pointing to Nadeshot and CouRage\u2019s papers. \u201cAre one of these a contract? \u201cObviously whenever I end up playing anymore that\u2019s what I want to pursue, that\u2019s what a lot of people want to do. You (Nadeshot) made 100 Thieves, which sounds awesome. Not worrying about analytics and viewers is good. Potentially, just wait on it.\u201d For Scump fans, this is all great news. Two or three more years in the CDL system, before swapping to content creation full-time means the world champion will never disappear from Twitch and YouTube. He may even have a chance to claim a CDL championship. Scump has made no official announcement on his CDL future, though he is currently contracted by OpTic\u2019s parent company Immortals Gaming Club.
