Skrapz explains how Call of Duty changed his life Ahead of the Call of Duty League event in London in February, we spoke with Matthew \u2018Skrapz\u2019 Marshall to find out about his career and how Call of Duty \u201cflipped his life around.\u201d Skrapz has never been one to shy away from telling his truth and explaining how much Call of Duty, the community and the esport means to him, and this rang true as he described his humble beginnings in Manchester, England. Skrapz explains that he started playing Call of Duty with his brother, Bradley \u2018wuskin\u2019 Marshall, when they were nine years old, frequently occupying their Dad\u2019s PlayStation at any available opportunity, and it escalated when they finally got their own PlayStation each to stop fighting over the shared console. He goes on to explain how he attended his first local LAN tournament during the Black Ops 3 season and, just months later, was competing at the World Championship event in Los Angeles, an event he describes as \u201crealizing it could become a thing\u201d for him. Just three years later, the esport has grown drastically and Skrapz found himself in a position with his brother and breakout star of Black Ops 4 Dylan \u2018Dylan\u2019 Henderson as sought-after players with plenty of options \u2013 and found themselves representing the UK on the biggest stage with the London Royal Ravens. Finally, Skrapz talks about the real impact CoD has had on him. \u201cMy life\u2019s that good, I don\u2019t think it will ever sink in. I remember having nothing. I can do whatever I want. I get up every day and play a video game and get paid for it. It never will settle in, until I retire. It\u2019s the greatest feeling in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
