Scump reveals who\u2019s behind the Huntsmen-Empire CDL rivalry In a candid interview with NRG Esports, Chicago Huntsman Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner talks at length about the rivalry between his team and the Dallas Empire, the beef between himself and former teammate Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter, and how he handles drama in Call of Duty in general. There\u2019s no such thing as the calm before the storm in Call of Duty. The pre-season to the inaugural Call of Duty League year has been rife with drama, beef, and plenty of trash talk. A lot of the drama centers on the beef between former teammates Scump and Crimsix. The former squadmates won a lot of championships together on OpTic Gaming, but Scump insists that Crimsix didn\u2019t contribute nearly as much as his other teammates. \u201cWe won so many tournaments together. Me and Matthew [FormaL] were the best, statistically. Damon [Karma] was the \u201cdirty worker.\u201d We won him [Crim] so much money and so many tournaments.\u201d Scump does say that Crim \u201cdid his part\u201d during that title reign, but holds on to the belief that \u201cwe [him and FormaL] were the ones really frying people.\u201d The Chicago star said that he understands why the beef exists in the first place, comparing it to \u201ca bad breakup,\u201d but says that the rivalry between the two teams has been boosted from the top. \u201cI know Hastr0 is in their ears telling them to make a rivalry. He\u2019s literally telling them to talk trash.\u201d Scump is no stranger to talking trash, but argues that he only will respond to things when provoked. At this point in the Crimsix beef, he believes the whole situation is \u201cdumb, corny, and played out.\u201d According to him, the Call of Duty scene \u201cis still a very childish scene,\u201d but he was candid about a time in his life when he didn\u2019t display the ideal amount of maturity. He spoke about a time in 2011 when he desperately wanted to get off his team before MLG Dallas. \u201cI was begging them to drop me. I hated my team, I thought we sucked. I was really arrogant at that age, I was kind of a diva. But I didn\u2019t want to play with that team. I took a nap after school one day and I woke up to being dropped from the team.\u201d Following that, Scump at the age of 15 joined up with Quantic LeveraGe, and the rest is history. Following the historical discussion, Scump gave some short early impressions on his upcoming CDL competition. He thinks FaZe and the Royal Ravens are full of talent and potential, and says the Seattle Surge is a \u201csmart, calculated good team.\u201d He doesn\u2019t anticipate that OGLA will struggle for much longer, and picked the Minnesota R\u00d8KKR as his darkhorse candidate. Unsurprisingly, he called the Dallas Empire \u201ccocky and arrogant\u201d but isn\u2019t discounting them as a subpar team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
