Simp explains why he\u2019s not \u201cat the top\u201d of Call of Duty yet ActivisionAfter an astounding first full year in the pro-level competitive Call of Duty scene, reigning CWL World Champion, MVP, and Atlanta FaZe star Chris \u201cSimp\u201d Lehr doesn\u2019t think he\u2019s \u201cat the top\u201d yet and has no interest in slowing down. It\u2019s hard to imagine a better rookie year than Simp\u2019s 2019. But despite finding success in all there is to accomplish in a single season, the 19-year-old doesn\u2019t consider himself in the top echelon just yet, and doesn\u2019t want to either. Philip \u2018Momo\u2019 Whitfield\u2019s recent Twitter post detailed all of the FaZe star\u2019s amazing accomplishments with eUnited, which the Call of Duty League caster said was more than what most hope to achieve in an entire career. He implored Lehr to \u201csit back and give yourself a pat on the back.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/Momo\/status\/1232843831457898498 While Simp acknowledged the great things he\u2019s done already, he believes that he hasn\u2019t done more than players like Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner, Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper, James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks, and Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter, and \u201cdoesn\u2019t want to think [he\u2019s] at the top.\u201d I mean yea I\u2019ve done great things but until I\u2019ve done more than people like Scump,Crim,Formal,Clay Etc I don\u2019t wanna think I\u2019m at the top. \u2014 FaZe Simp (@SimpXO) February 27, 2020 In 2019, Simp seemingly swept every major event and accolade during his Black Ops 4 campaign with eUnited. That roster finished first in Group B of the CWL Pro League regular season and went on to win the playoffs at CWL Finals, followed by a convincing victory at Champs. Simp claimed MVP honors at both of those events, and also won Console Rookie of the Year at the Esports Awards. He was also nominated in the fan-voted Dexerto Awards for Esports Rookie of the Year and Call of Duty Player of the Year. In October of 2019, after his magnificent first year, he joined the Atlanta FaZe organization as part of a star-studded roster that\u2019s considered to be the best in the league. It\u2019s still early in the season, but the team is living up to expectations, going 2-0 at Launch Weekend and winning their Atlanta home series. Simp is certainly setting lofty goals for himself with the list of players he\u2019s set sights on passing. The players he named are among the winningest of all-time, in terms of major tournaments and prize winnings. Aside from his insane abilities, however, the young star also has time on his side, as he\u2019s five years younger than Scump, who\u2019s the youngest of the group of four legends he mentioned. He was unable to face the iconic Huntsmen T2P duo of Scump and FormaL at CDL Atlanta, but he may get a shot at the duo of Crimsix and former teammate Clayster at the upcoming CDL Los Angeles home series. After the Huntsmen\u2019s loss to Florida in Atlanta, FaZe remain the only unbeaten team in the League with a remarkable 6-0 record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
