Day 1 of CDL Seattle saw the New York Subliners overcome the Seattle Surge, as the west coast roster\u2019s struggles continue. Despite Seattle taking a map off the Subliners, the series was fairly straightforward for ZooMaa\u2019s squad. ZooMaa himself starred in the win, particularly in the series-ending Map 4, a hardpoint on St Petrograd. The ex-FaZe Clan star put together a dominant streak while defending restaurant, but some viewers were quick to accuse the 24-year-old of \u2018snaking\u2019. \u2018Snaking\u2019 is when a player goes prone and then stands up rapidly, usually behind cover of some kind. This makes them a difficult target to hit, all while being able to return fire at their opponents. While not as influential in Modern Warfare as it has been in past CoD titles, some viewers argued it is still being exploited after watching ZooMaa. ZooMaa, however, hit back at these allegations: \u201cPeople talking about snaking\u2026 What do people want me to do when I\u2019m one shot and have to reload, stand on the f**king desk? Also, the whole damn league snakes, get over it. Snake or be snaked I\u2019ve accepted that, not my problem.\u201d To defend ZooMaa even more, Seattle\u2019s Apathy, one of the players on the receiving end of the \u2018snaking\u2019, commented: \u201cyou are good bro, everyone abuses this sh*t now\u201d. Ppl talking about snaking\u2026 What do people want me to do when I\u2019m one shot and have to reload, stand on the fkn desk? Also, the whole damn league snakes, get over it. Snake or be snaked I\u2019ve accepted that, not my problem. https:\/\/t.co\/7yAA2gKaEl \u2014 Tommy Paparatto (@ZooMaa) May 23, 2020 Snaking has been a significant topic in previous CoD titles, no more so than in Infinite Warfare or WWII, where both developers actually released patches in an attempt to nerf it. Whether similar changes are on their way in Modern Warfare remains unclear, but some viewers seem unhappy with its viability in a competitive setting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZooMaa hits out at \u2018snaking\u2019 allegations at CDL Seattle New York Subliners\/Infinity WardNew York Subliners\u2019 SMG star Tommy \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto has hit back at \u2018snaking\u2019 allegations, following his side\u2019s victory of Seattle Surge at the ongoing CDL Seattle.
