Last year I was like dude like I don't know how many more years of Cods like this I can take I think if Seth would have like quit called you he'd be five times as big as you know Is scumpy hinting at a future called duty retirement? He's only minds that retirement is just about the cool enough. This isn't the first time that we've heard scump talk about Retirement but in fact the third time in three titles and what it would take for him to move on How much time do you think you have? My name is Seth scumpy abner. I have been competing and called duty since I can't even remember 2011 major league gaming Dallas champions and call it duty black ops. Let's hear it for leverage. Oh, makes a noise I Played a lot of game battles and stuff like that because that was really the only way to do it at that point What's the record you know but ever since then I've been a competitive called duty player CDL Pro live streamer I stream a lot. I do a lot of content Hi guys. Thank you for watching the stream. Yo, yo, yo, what is going on guys? It is your boy after scumpy. I really I really am a jack of all trades I do a little bit of of everything on top of competing which is a It gets a little bit stressful sometimes Really back then it was just straight passion Oh I got him Fuck you guys Dropping a player scumpy fire Nowadays there's a lot of money involved so it attracts a lot of people that maybe aren't even gamers And they just want a live stream or become a pro just because they know how much money is in it now But back then it was like the real you know the real gamer So what's giving up I'm doing oh Telling somebody who says good as he is at in the space that he's in to you know folks around content was a little bit tougher You know, it's easier for people who aren't as good as him to be like, you know You sure also concentrate on that right, but I'm glad that he did the trajectory was always there I was seeing him pairing up with with Nate in the early days and with a Nate paired up predator in the early days Sort of made that that that fire sort of become a bigger situation for for himself But seeing him develop himself into you know first the player then obviously the brand and then the business man that he's that he's become It's been a pleasure to see he's becoming sort of like the model that you sort of follow us a professional called duty player It's a professional east force player being around Nate and I mean will Merck You know cap was there for a bit But I mean it was really it was really Nate shot and Hector I mean they they really like drove it into my head to like you're not always gonna be able to compete So set yourself up for success after competing by making content bringing you another video log from inside of the optic gaming 2013 teamhouse everybody is here now I've seen a lot of people retire and They'll go to do like coaching or Something behind the scenes or stuff like that and I don't want to do that. I want to either be A competitor or a content creator. They just taught me that if you want to do something forever Then you have you have to obviously keep working towards that goal and keep putting stuff out for people You know to enjoy people want to see like you every day, you know They want to see you on camera. They want to see what you're what your mental state is like they want to see if you're having a good day or Bad day, you know people like to see that kind of stuff and I think yeah, I think we do a pretty good job of that But again, you know, it's it's never enough But I try How how do you manage the stress of being the superstar? I mean, it's fucking hard One of the hardest things for me is when people say you don't do enough and That really irks me trying to please everyone is definitely something that I struggle with It's a lot, you know even day. I mean, we were just saying even days off. We still Did six hours of road tripping slash content that was considered my day off, you know, so I was like It's very few and far between where you get a full relaxation day of just not worrying about anything I mean, so it's it's definitely really really hard. I don't think people understand that You know what I do personally not to like brag or anything like nobody else does in the sports stream consistently Upload to YouTube consistently. I mean in most other esports. It's just competing and that's like it And it's really really really hard to balance up That's one of it. That's one of the hardest things that I deal with is like never thinking that I do enough It is my girlfriend is always like you work today like why are you worried because I'm always like I didn't do enough today I didn't do enough and she's like but you just went and filmed three hours and drove three hours as well like you just did all that I'm like well still like I want to You know give people what they want and what they expect but at the same time, you know I have a lot of other things that are going on in my life So it's it's difficult. It's definitely hard I mean even days that we practice off stream I've got on stream and only stream for three hours and people are like what the fuck that's in that's like dude We just scream for three and I was like I'm exhausted You know so and then we had content before that so it's like people just don't see what goes on behind the scenes It's definitely been hard for me to keep my passion as high as it was during shirt and ears You know I've had rough years I've had years where I haven't been in the best mental state You know, it's it's always evolving and as I've gotten older it's kind of it's been it's just been ever changing as I've gotten older and older and older Because once you get older obviously you start to have more responsibilities You definitely have a different perspective of life. I mean when I was 18 I was living for free at the optic house and just being in contact with my friends now It's like I live in my house. I have a girlfriend You know have all the animals all the pets and I have a house now so it's like you know there's a lot more day-to-day that I have to worry about than just sitting down and competing. There's a lot more stress involved now when it was just You know playing the game back then now it's like now I have to perform to Ensure that I can keep living you know and ensuring that I can keep living the lifestyle that I live He is like the literal example of being somebody who is uber successful in a space and could grab You know take the chips off the table and go play in the sand somewhere But because of the way that he was raised The way that his mom sort of brought him up to never take anything for granted Has allowed him to do and be more than just a Dude, this is not a place where your games and makes a lot of money He could take his all his chips right now and take them off the table and go Play in the sand but for him I think that Winning is is important and that is the legacy that he'll leave behind sort of an example a north star for other You know professional players who are coming in to the space and and Sort of being successful in it, but there's a way to really be successful in it right because there's there's levels to this thing I just want to do my best and And Try to just play as long as I can because they're still and do enjoy it and the minute that that flame goes out You know it it that's it when it goes out. It's gonna be like instant It's gonna be like at the end of a year probably Is what I would say is when I'm not gonna retire mid year. I mean unless shit just goes way south that it's like You know unless it's just like I I have to Like I start dropping point five is it terrible? It's a shit, but hopefully that's not how it ends The thing that's most important to me is that I gave my all I Was professional I showed up on time I put my Obviously every day you're not gonna put your best foot forward in practice but at least trying to be there for the team and Continue to contribute you know as best as I can winner lose, you know, we're gonna win some We're gonna lose some that's just how it is. I just want to do my best and the minute that that flame goes out You know that's it Coming into the kickoff classic coming in the 20 21 season with a statement after three oh Over the L.A.
