Scump reveals Shotzzy planned to leave OpTic if he retired before Modern Warfare 2 OpTic GamingCall of Duty legend Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner has revealed that Anthony \u2018Shotzzy\u2019 Cuevas-Castro was leaving OpTic Texas had the veteran SMG star retired in the Call of Duty: Vanguard season. The OpTic Texas CDL roster has had quite a turbulent last few months, stemming all the way back to the midpoint of the Call of Duty: Vanguard season. A hand injury to Indervir \u2018iLLeY\u2019 Dhaliwal meant that they weren\u2019t at full strength for quite some time, with Byron \u2018Prolute\u2019 Vera subbing in for a bit. That turbulence only continued into the off-season, with OpTic planning, at one point, to drop iLLeY and Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2019 Otell as a part of their rebuild. Though, that changed at the last minute, with the powerful squad deciding to stick together for another season. There will be a need to rebuild next season, however, as Scump is finally calling time on his storied CoD career. The Modern Warfare 2 season will be his last, but Vanguard was almost that, and it would have seen OpTic lose Shotzzy as well. Scump reveals Shotzzy was leaving OpTic if he retired from CDL It was something Scump revealed during an update video on the early part of OpTic\u2019s season, as he once again discussed his \u2018last dance\u2019 with Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez. \u201cHe said he was potentially leaving, he had offers from other teams and he was like \u2018if you retire, I leave,\u2019\u201d Scump said, lifting the lid on the off-season. \u201cI was like pleading with him because personally, I wasn\u2019t very happy with my season last year and that\u2019s one of the big reasons I wanted to retire, because I didn\u2019t like Vanguard. I didn\u2019t have a good season on Vanguard up to my standards. I didn\u2019t have a horrible season but I didn\u2019t have a good season, in my eyes, so I was really contemplating because of that and he was like \u2018if you leave, I leave\u2019 and I was like, well, s*it.\u201d Having Scump and Shotzzy\u2019s spots free in the off-sesson would have likely triggered an even bigger rostermania period than we already saw, but that craziness will have to wait at least a year until Scump\u2019s spot finally opens up. The OpTic boys haven\u2019t yet set the world alight in Modern Warfare 2, coming into the first Major event of the season with a 2-2 record. Though, they\u2019ve plenty of time to turn things around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
