“We Have Backup Plans” – Call of Duty Pro Scump on the Other Side of CDL’s Partnership With YouTube Gaming

Former Call Of Duty pro Scump has shared his thoughts about CDL streaming both on Youtube and Twitch 

In 2019, Call Of Duty announced CDL, a professional tournament for gamers. It featured top players from different clans/organizations joining hands and fighting for glory. The Call of Duty League was a major success as it kept crushing records from time to time, mainly with the viewership soaring to new heights. With that, players were motivated to showcase their best skills whilst earning cash prizes and acclaim in the community.

A dark shadow lingered over the league’s head as its contract expired. In a sad piece of news, the organizers could not have full rights to stream on Twitch as the deal terminated on February 23. So, the franchise decided to sign a massive deal with Youtube gaming, streaming the auspicious event side-by-side. While it would still feature on Twitch, COD’s YouTube fans would now be able to stream the event. However, this did not sit well with some important figures in the industry, mainly the two pros who took away most of the CDL viewership. Further, Scump, one of the two pros, voiced his opinion.

After the massive announcement by Call Of Duty concerning the streaming for CDL, Jake Lucky conducted an exclusive interview with Scump. Being one of the notable figures in the industry, Jake wanted to understand Scump’s take on the whole situation. Moreover, it was no secret that the former COD pro, along with ZooMaa took away most of the viewership.

Here’s what Scump said talking about the future of CDL, ” I hope it doesn’t happen. I can’t imagine a world where they see the numbers, and it doesn’t happen, but if it does, we have backup plans. We’ve things in place if it does happen. We’re still going to do our thing.” 

Then, the former pro laid out some facts while inching toward the fact that it would be great if they chose Twitch as a platform. “I severely hope that them seeing the success of Call Of Duty, we’ve been hitting record numbers not just on my account but across the whole board. So, I really hope they stay, as Twitch is the place for Call Of Duty,” Scump said while showing concern.
