SlasheR calls out CoD pros \u2018baiting\u2019 their teammates for better stats Professional Call of Duty player, Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2019 Liddicoat, has called out some of his fellow CWL pros for \u2018baiting\u2019 their teammates to have better in-game stats, rather than playing just for the win. It\u2019s not often easy to determine just how good a player is in an action packed game of competitive Call of Duty, especially in modes such as Hardpoint, so fans and analysts often refer to a player\u2019s statistics, such as their Kill\/Death ratio, to get a better read on their in-game performances. One bad habit, perhaps more common among the amateur players, is focusing moreso on their individual K\/D ratio, using their teammates as \u2018bait\u2019 (waiting for teammates to push first, to pick up easy trades), instead of playing the objective normally, which can hold teams back from their full potential. Following some of the final matches of the CWL pro league, 2016 Call of Duty World Champion SlasheR voiced his opinion that some of his fellow pro players are guilty of \u201cbaiting their team.\u201d He also suggested that many fans appear oblivious to this, praising said players for their impressive individual scorelines, not realizing that it could be at the expense of the team\u2019s performance.

Most selfless. Play the most proper CoD. They\u2019re the reason they win games bro. Stat players do it all man. We know this.\u201d SlasheR followed up by explaining that it requires strong team synergy and good in-game stats to win games consistently and claimed that the final year before franchising has seen even more players looking to boost their K\/D: \u201cThe people who put up the stats and play as a team win games. This year more than ever I see people legit playing for a player card number.\u201d The people who put up the stats and play as a team win games. This year more than ever I see people legit playing for a player card # lmao \u2014 100T SlasheR (@SlasheR_AL) July 6, 2019 SlasheR\u2019s teammate on 100 Thieves, Ian \u2018Enable\u2019 Wyatt also chimed in, jokingly claiming that SlasheR himself was among those guilty of baiting, explaining, \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m trying to get you to get a lil more pep in your step.\u201d Although Enable was likely joking, it appears as if the 100 Thieves squad have figured out what works in Black Ops 4, as they have already claimed two trophies this year going back-to-back in CWL London and Anaheim.
