As two members of OpTic Gaming\u2019s dynasty roster that took the CoD professional scene by storm, world champions Scump and FormaL are widely regarded as being among the best players in the history of the esport. Their behind-the-scenes rift, which saw Piper make the high-profile switch to Luminosity Gaming in 2018, has long been the topic of speculation. Now the King has shed some light on the issues that drove them apart on a recent episode of The CouRage and Nadeshot Show. Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2018 Haag, who also played with Scump on OpTic, opened the discussions with a blunt question: \u201cAlright Seth, what happened with FormaL? Why did you and FormaL begin to hate each other?\u201d Read more: Scump names price to \u201cuproot life\u201d for CDL &#8211; \u201cI don\u2019t know, I feel like it was kind of the same thing as me and you,\u201d the King replied. \u201cThere was a competition, sort of, within the team. Once we started losing that competition just kind of ate away at the relationship, because he wanted more recognition, or I wanted more.\u201d He went on to reveal that internet problems played a huge role in deepening the divide, as Scump, who was based in California and far away from the rest of the team, had a red-bar connection in many of the matches, which led to other teams choosing to not practice against them. \u201cWe had a lot of turmoil because of my setup in California, the internet wasn\u2019t very good so I couldn\u2019t really practice and that would obviously piss some people off. Everyone hated it.\u201d Read More: ACHES expertly trolls critics &#8211; \u201cWe tried to play through it and we just couldn\u2019t because obviously teams would just quit scrims, they didn\u2019t want to play us because I was just skipping around the map.\u201d Discussion begins at 5:00 mark for mobile users. Despite winning the 2017 CWL Championship, and ending the Infinite Warfare season on the highest note possible, the team began falling apart during the subsequent campaign, thanks to consistently worsening performances during a tough WWII season. \u201cAfter we won Champs everything was fine and dandy, and then we went to the first event and got third, and we probably should have won that one, and then it was a slippery slope right to the very bottom,\u201d OpTic\u2019s long-term captain said of the inevitable separation.

In response to that, the Luminosity pro commented \u201cT2P,\u201d which stands for \u201ctime to pound,\u201d the motto that the two created when they first joined forces under the Green Wall banner in 2014. Neither Scump or FormaL have officially confirmed their future in the newly franchised Call of Duty League, but with the signing window having opened on September 3, news on rosters is likely to begin flowing soon. Nine franchises have already been confirmed for the 2020 season.
