OpTic Gaming’s Call of Duty Captain Seth ‘Scump’ Abner has announced that he is going to start streaming again.

Scump stopped content creation during the Call of Duty: World War 2 season, choosing to focus his time and efforts on competing with his OpTic Gaming squad. 

But with Call of Duty in its off-season, Scump has confirmed his intention to stream the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout beta, starting on Monday, September 10.

Scump certainly isn’t short on offers from people to team with during his first stream back. OpTic Gaming owner Hector ‘H3CZ’ Rodriguez threw his name into the hat, replying with “we teaming?” to Scump’s original tweet.

Meanwhile, 100 Thieves CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag wants to reunite with his former teammate for the release of the Blackout beta, requesting to play duos with the 23 year old American in a throwback to the 2013 Black Ops 2 season!

Scump seemingly accepted Nadeshot’s offer, to the delight of their fans, with replies of “IT’S HAPPENING” and”Miss this duo so much” coming from those who will be eagerly watching the stream later on.

Call of Duty’s new Blackout mode is Activision’s answer to the popular battle royale genre. Taking place on a map made up of some of the most recognisable multiplayer maps of all time, players must battle against their opponents to be the last man, or squad standing.

The Blackout beta goes live on Monday, September 10 at 10am PDT (1pm EDT, 6pm BST) for PlayStation 4 players, while the Xbox One and PC versions of the beta don’t go live until September 14. Full details about the beta are available here.
