Scump explains what went wrong in OpTic\u2019s CDL loss to FaZe YouTube: ScumpOpTic Chicago suffered a nail-biting 2-3 defeat at the hands of Atlanta FaZe to close out the first week of Call of Duty League action and now Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner has outlined exactly what he thinks went wrong. [jwplayer HTC4QIpT] The opening week of the 2021 CDL season brought us the first epic clash between OpTic and FaZe. These two juggernauts are destined to go at it all year as both teams push to top the standings. With the first matchup now in the books, Scump has explained exactly what led to their first defeat of the year. It was one of four games that went the distance throughout the first week, proving how close these teams are. Both Hardpoints came within 25 points and the lone Control map went all the way to a fifth round. However, it was the Search & Destroy that proved to be the biggest difference. OpTic secured just a single round across two SnD\u2019s. Despite this, Scump doesn\u2019t believe they\u2019re as \u201cbad of a Search team as [they] showed.\u201d [#CDL2021 | Opening Weekend]#EZAF ON TOP!@ATLFaZe dominate both S&Ds and hand @OpTicCHI their first loss of 2021. \ud83d\udcf0: https:\/\/t.co\/XsiFh03n44 pic.twitter.com\/mFeTsBB9Xx \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) February 15, 2021 \u201cWe were just getting hard countered,\u201d he said in a February 16 YouTube video breaking down the loss. \u201cI don\u2019t know what the hell happened to our SnD, [we] just didn\u2019t have an answer for what they were doing.\u201d Early insight from the team revealed concerns around their SnD, though Scump assured it\u2019s been a key area of focus lately. \u201cWe have been scrimming it, I promise. At least two to three times a week. We honestly don\u2019t really lose it that much when we scrim it.\u201d While the team \u201chad no pressure\u201d when it came to SnD against FaZe, Scump believes his own performance was what held them back the most. \u201cI was playing a little timid, not playing like I normally would,\u201d he explained. \u201cI had a really bad map on Miami\u2026 I was at a loss for words after that map.\u201d Though even with his 0-6 scoreline on Miami matching the round count, the series shouldn\u2019t have gone to a second SnD, according to Scump. \u201cWe should have closed on [Moscow Hardpoint]. \u201cWe were literally one kill away\u2026 if aBeZy doesn\u2019t go huge, we just flat out win the map.\u201d A mere five-point deficit cost OpTic the map and Scump firmly believes they could have closed it out if not for aBeZy\u2019s insane clutch.

While they couldn\u2019t close it out the first time around, Scump appears confident that the eventual rematch will be different. \u201cFor us to almost beat them when I wasn\u2019t playing that great, I think that\u2019s a great sign for our team.\u201d OpTic\u2019s second week pits them against Toronto Ultra and the Los Angeles Guerrillas.
