Scump estimates that he has about 4 years left, being a relevant name in the eSports world. He said that his time in the industry would depend on many factors, one of them being the game that is being played right then.

?Treyarch has always been good to us, so that’s there. I would say it depends on the state of gaming in general. If a game comes out that really catches my eye, and I really want to play that instead of COD, that’s another thing that would pull me away.?
