Scump reveals message he sent to OpTic Chicago teammates after brutal loss vs FaZe Activision\/CDLOpTic Chicago\u2019s Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner has revealed the uplifting message he sent to his CDL teammates, as their search for a tournament win in Black Ops Cold War goes on. Despite two players with some of the most stellar records in competitive CoD history, OpTic Chicago have consistently struggled to hit their potential in the CDL\u2019s 2021 season. We\u2019ve seen the occasional glimpse of talent, but it\u2019s mostly been marred by disappointment. A similar story occurred at Stage 4 Week 1 \u2013 Chicago\u2019s own home series. After a comfortable win over Minnesota ROKKR, OpTic found themselves on the end of a beating as Atlanta FaZe hardly broke a sweat in sweeping them. The loss was tough, especially so early in Stage 4, but Scump has now revealed the messages he sent to his team to encourage them, and ensure the loss didn\u2019t stay with them for too long. Speaking on the OpTic Podcast, Scump joked that his new position is as the \u2018ray of light\u2019 for his team. He then went on to reveal the messages he sent to his teammates to motivate them after the loss. \u201cI\u2019ve regained, let\u2019s not let that match throw us off our sh*t. We\u2019ve been getting better and better,\u201d Scump read. \u201cWe\u2019re nasty though, yesterday was a tough loss but we weren\u2019t playing like ourselves. Don\u2019t lose full and we will keep frying, starting tomorrow.\u201d Topic starts at 15:35 OpTic\u2019s problems with negativity go some way beyond the team themselves though. Many CoD pros have joked that OpTic fans are incredibly critical, and don\u2019t hesitate to hit the team when they\u2019re down. Other teams, too, love getting one over on the Greenwall. A clash with ROKKR back in April saw Scump slam them for their \u201cdisrespect\u201d after the Minnesota outfit eliminated OpTic in a chaotic 1v3. It\u2019s true that OpTic have been broadly improving across the year \u2013 a fourth-placed finish at Stage 3 having started in the Losers\u2019 Bracket represented a significant improvement on their earlier form, but consistent wins have still proved elusive. Scump\u2019s positivity and leadership, though, are great places to start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
