Scump Announces He'll Retire From COD After The 2023 Season

Who's the best in the game?
by Tit Krajnik on October 29, 2022   

One of the most iconic players in the professional Call of Duty scene, Seth "Scump" Abner, has announced that he will retire from CoD after the 2023 season. The 27-year-old CoD legend unveiled the news via a short video on Friday, October 29.

 

In a short video titled "This Is Goodbye", Scump announced that he intends to compete in the professional Call of Duty scene for only one more year, confirming that the 2023 season will be his last. With that, Scump joins the list of prominent CoD players who have hung up their controllers in recent years – the most notable other name being Ian "Crimsix" Porter, who stepped away from the game at the end of CoD: Vanguard.
 


Scump's retirement will mark an end of an era and the culmination of one of the most impressive careers in CoD esports' history. The 27-year-old kicked off his career In 2011 and has, throughout his career, played for some of the most successful esports teams in CoD competitive history.

However, despite competing for various organizations, Scump is mainly known for his time at OpTic Gaming (later Chicago Huntsman), currently known as OpTic Texas. Despite being known as one of the most iconic CoD players, Scump has won just one World Championship in his career – the Call of Duty World League Championship 2017.
 


Regardless of holding only one ring, Scump has to date won 31 Major titles and has come close to winning multiple world championships, claiming bronze in 2019 and 2020 and finishing fourth in 2021.

As revealed in the announcement video, while Scump intends to retire from pro play, he will stay in the scene in some aspect. However, it's unclear whether he'll become a content creator, analyst, caster, coach or take on any other role within the scene.

Having recently announced his engagement, there's also a possibility that Scump will take some time off and focus on his family after the 2023 season. But whatever the case might be, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II season will be Scump's last as a pro player.
