Scump’s first foray into his life post-competition in the Call of Duty League is off to a banger of a start.
The longtime OpTic pro is hosting his first-ever watch party of CDL competition, and the Ginja Ninja’s viewership is leading the way in the entire Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Twitch directory, dwarfing the official CoD channel itself.
As the OpTic Texas vs. Seattle Surge match kicked off on Friday afternoon, Scump had more than 73,000 viewers compared to the CDL’s nearly 50,000.
Scump was joined on stream with special guests like OpTic’s H3CZ and MBoZe, but the real treat was listening to the former pro’s insights on the team that he was competing with as recently as last month.
