In any eSports game, teams trash talk and mock each other while playing quite often. This is especially true in a game like Call of Duty, where the legends of the scene have often talked smack during matches. But almost all the time, this dies down when the game ends, and players show mutual respect to their opponents.

In a recent instance, however, a tweet from one organization caught the attention of a player, and he felt that it was disrespectful.

Following one of the most heartbreaking losses in his career, OpTic Chicago player and Call of Duty legend Scump berated the Minnesota ROKKR team for posting a ‘classless’ tweet.

OpTic Chicago faced Minnesota ROKKR in the Stage 2 Major of the Call of Duty League. After a hard-fought 5 match series, Minnesota got the victory with a 3-2 scoreline. The loss was especially tough to digest for Optic fans since the team had a 3 vs 1 situation in the 11th round of the 5th match. But Minnesota star Accuracy got a massive clutch ace to win the game and knock Optic out of the competition.
