JKap was moved to eUnited\u2019s substitute role, replaced as a \u2018starter\u2019 by Chris \u2018Simp\u2019 Lehr, after the 18 year old won CWL Fort Worth\u2019s amateur bracket playing for FC Black, FaZe Clan\u2019s academy team. Welcome @SimpTheSickJoke to #eUCoD. Coming off an impressive Open Bracket Finals win, we are proud to announce that Simp will be in the starting lineup during next week\u2019s pro league matches. With his addition, JKap will be moved into the substitute role. #StandUnited pic.twitter.com\/xikXTAFIjr \u2014 eUnited (@eUnitedgg) March 19, 2019 There has been a lot of discussion in the CoD community regarding the move, with some arguing JKap is past his best and that Simp\u2019s promotion represents a stellar opportunity for a young, up-and-coming player. There have also been rumours the move was caused by alleged unrest between James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks and Jkap, which were addressed by Clayster in a YouTube video. Regardless of the reasons behind it, the move was brought up in a chat with many prominent members of the CoD community, broadcast via Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter\u2019s Twitch stream. The conversation prompted Scump to share his opinion on the matter, arguing \u201cyou can\u2019t drop the GOAT bro\u201d. \u2018GOAT\u2019 is a common abbreviation for \u2018greatest of all time\u2019, first being used as a term to refer to the NBA\u2019s Michael Jordan. However, it is frequently used in the CoD community to refer to a player of high skill, as Scump is doing with JKap. However, Scump was amusingly shut down just a few seconds later, as Anthony \u2018NAMELESS\u2019 Wheeler, ex CoD pro turned CWL analyst, pointed out \u201cbut\u2026 you did.\u201d Wheeler\u2019s remarks were in reference to OpTic Gaming\u2019s decision to drop Karma in 2018, mid-way through the Call of Duty: WWII season. Thanks to his world championship titles in Black Ops 2, Ghosts and Infinite Warfare, Karma is generally considered the best Call of Duty player of all time. However, a number of poor finishes for OpTic during WWII prompted Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper to leave for Luminosity Gaming in place of Sam \u2018Octane\u2019 Larew, while Karma was dropped for Anthony \u2018Methodz\u2019 Zinni. The new OpTic line up struggled, placing 17th-24th at the 2018 CWL World Championships, breaking up soon after. The remarks prompted considerable laughter among the chat, with Scump replying \u201cI knew it was coming\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
