Scump shares hilarious story about FormaL trash-talking him when they first met YouTube, OpTic ChicagoFrom OpTic Gaming to the Chicago Huntsmen and, now, OpTic Chicago, Scump and FormaL\u2019s odyssey as the \u201cT2P\u201d duo is legendary. But it didn\u2019t start off so beautifully, as told in the tale of their first meeting. Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner and Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper are as renowned a duo in Call of Duty history as can be. Teamed on a refreshed OpTic squad in the Call of Duty League, the two took some time to reminisce during an episode of the newly returned OpTic Podcast. The subject of that reminiscing? Time 2 Pound\u2019s origin story. Apparently, Scump\u2019s OpTic were set to play FormaL\u2019s Team Kaliber at Ghosts Champs in 2014. The two had never met before, but knew who each other were \u2014 and FormaL thought that might give him a chance to get into \u201cThe King\u2019s\u201d head a little. Backstage before their matchup, FormaL sought out Scump to deliver some trash talk. In his first CoD after switching from the Halo scene, he thought he might get an edge by getting in Scumpii\u2019s head. As the story goes, it didn\u2019t end as he hoped, but the rest is history. As Scump explains, his first interaction with Formy was behind the Octagon at Ghosts Champs: \u201cMatt came up to me at Ghosts Champs \u2014 I had no idea who he was. Like, I knew who he was, but I didn\u2019t know him at all. He comes up to me and he\u2019s like \u2018it\u2019s your chance to finally play me on LAN.\u2019\u201d Then, FormaL elaborates on the diabolical plans behind his introduction: \u201cI was trying to get into Seth\u2019s head or something \u2026 \u2018I heard you\u2019re pretty good, but you get to play me now.\u2019\u201d As the two crack up and explain, TK were immediately swept by OpTic in around 20 minutes after that attempted trash talk and FormaL learned his lesson: \u201cI was just packing my s**t up all pissed, like \u2018this is so lame.\u2019\u201d Although Scump\u2019s response to FormaL\u2019s trash-talk effort was a simple \u201cwhat an idiot,\u201d it\u2019s as fitting as possible an origin story for a now-notorious duo. The podcast also dabbles in how that was just part of FormaL\u2019s efforts to make a name for himself in CoD, as he switched teams relentlessly and talked his talk. Eventually, as we all know, the pair ended up united on OpTic Gaming. Now, as the team pushes forward into the CDL 2021 season\u2019s Stage 2, their brief reminiscing gives us a nice look into FormaL\u2019s mindset: \u201cMaybe I was super loyal, but I didn\u2019t think anyone deserved my loyalty until I got on OpTic.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
