Call of Duty pro player Seth Abner, aka. Scump recently appeared on The Eavesdrop Podcast and spoke about his career, his future and his personal life. Scump most notably spoke about his potential retirement from professional eSports, and how he would make that decision.

“I am contracted until the end of the next Call of Duty. I have this year and the next year contracted and then after that, I’m gonna have to make that call.”

Scump is currently with the Call of Duty League team, the Chicago Huntsmen, as the team captain. Considered one of the best CoD players on the planet, Scump opened up about his outlook on his job, and when he could possibly retire.

“I don’t wanna retire. I still love it. Practicing can be a bit of a bore, practicing every single day gets a little bit redundant. But I still love competing. I still love the team aspect.” Scump said, speaking about his interest in CoD as a profession.

He further stated that he still loved the profession, and would keep playing until he didn’t. “I love the feeling of winning and hate the feeling of losing. So it’s not that I’ve lost my love for it.” 

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.”

Scump made it clear that he would keep playing a game, only as long as he loves what he is playing. He even dropped quite a few hints about him eventually transitioning into becoming a full-time content creator, as that is something he truly loves. 

“As long as I’m still playing at a level where I know I’m not costing my team, I would like to continue playing. Last 2 years I feel like I’ve benefitted the team a lot. I’m not dropping 1.3’s like I used to every event, but I still got a little bit in the tank.”

Whatever may happen, it is clear that Scump will stick around at the top of the eSports world, at least for the near future.
