Scump reveals surprise factor making online CDL matches harder Call of Duty LeagueChicago Huntsmen\u2019s Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner has revealed what he thinks is the biggest difference between playing the Call of Duty League online versus when it was on LAN \u2013 and it\u2019s not the connection. Just like many other major esports leagues across the world, the Call of Duty League has had to make some serious changes due to the ongoing global health crisis, the biggest being a transition from LAN tournaments to online play. While almost all professional esport players would much prefer LAN play to online \u2013 due to a lack of internet connectivity issues and putting opposing teams or players on a more level field \u2013 this just wasn\u2019t possible for the CDL. And, while internet connectivity can completely change how matches play out and certain things that happen in-game, Scump doesn\u2019t believe it is the toughest part about their switch to online play. Instead, Scump says, he has spoken with teammate, Alec \u2018Arcitys\u2019 Sanderson, and they believe the toughest factor in playing their CDL matches online is actually getting into the correct mindset. \u201cThe biggest thing about moving to online, is just the sheer ability to get fully focused for a match,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just so hard to go as hard in a match when you\u2019re just sitting in the room that you play in every single day.\u201d He wrapped up his thought process, saying \u201cIt\u2019s hard to mentally be like \u2018Okay, this is a match.\u2019 It\u2019s weird.\u201d While we\u2019ve seen a number of professional CoD players, including the likes of OpTic Gaming\u2019s Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2019 Liddicoat, complain about having to play online and how much they struggle, the complaints are usually based around connectivity issues. What Scump says here does make sense, adding another layer to yet another complex dynamic that is playing online instead of LAN. The issue, however, doesn\u2019t look like it will be rectified too soon \u2014 so players are going to have to make sure they can find a way to get in the zone when each Home Series rolls around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
