Scump is Twitter Trending During CoD 2K Series Bracket

The release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has seen a major resurgence in the interest for the competitive side of Call of Duty (CoD) with the likes of Optic Gaming Call of Duty player Seth "Scump" Abner seeing immense growth of his Twitch channel with Black Ops 4. However, the growth of the Twitch channel for Scump has hit a peak it has never seen before on the night of Monday, November 5th during the first CoD 2K series bracket tournament for the 2019 Call of Duty World League (CWL) season. This peak has seen Scump become Twitter trending during the final matches of the first CoD 2K Series bracket. 

OpTic Gaming started out Monday as one of the final eight teams left in the first CWL CoD 2K Series tournament bracket that has $2,000 available for prize money and 2,000 pro points for the grand prize of the event. With this CoD 2K series bracket being the first competitive tournament that many new teams have competed in for the Black Ops 4 season, there has been plenty of eyes in each of the matches for the first CoD 2K series bracket that have led to Scump being a Twitter trending topic.

Fortunately for Scump of Optic Gaming, the majority of these eyes have been on his Twitch stream, as Scump is currently the Twitch broadcaster with the most viewers at the time of this writing with 75,141 viewers and is beating out the likes of Fortnite star Tyler "Ninja" Belvins who is sitting at 56,266 viewers. This massive audience has led to Scump becoming a Twitter trending topic, as thousands of people are currently discussing the extremely impressive viewership Scump is currently having thanks to his team of Optic Gaming making it to the finals of the CoD 2K Series bracket. 

Scump will now be looking to cap off his Twitter trending night of competing in the first CoD 2K series bracket for Black Ops 4 by helping OpTic Gaming capture their first tournament victory of the new CWL season. With this many viewers watching the Optic Gaming star for a small online tournament and causing the veteran to become Twitter trending, the limit for how many viewers will tune in to see him playing for millions of dollars will surely have the chance for all of Call of Duty esports to become Twitter trending in the future.
