Scump’s real name is Seth Abner. Scump is an American professional Call of Duty player and a streamer for OpTic Gaming. He’s also a SMG Slayer for Chicago Huntsmen. He is a 2017 World Champion. His most notable teams besides OpTic Gaming are Quantic LeveraGe and apeX eSports NA.
Scump also has a YouTube channel with over 2.4 million subscribers and over 501 million video views on his Twitch tv. He is also known as the The King and The Ginja Ninja.
He has a brother and a dog. His mom is very supportive of his career.
Scump grew up playing various sports, including baseball, football and baseball. However, his true interest lay with video games when he qas around eleven years, which he was introduced to by his older brother who received an Xbox 360 for Christmas one year. His first game was Halo, which he was so addicted to that he and his two friends would play during every free moment that they had. This usually meant after their football practice that would only see them home after 18:00 during high school. About a year later, he branched out into other video games, including Call of Duty (CoD ) 2 & 3. When they were older, he and his friend were allowed to play online and started competing in CoD 4 Gamebattles.
Once day, while he was still in high school, he and his friends played against a highly skilled team. After the match, they contacted him through his XBox, asking if he would be interested in trying out for their team. He passed the tryout and was introduced to Major League Gaming (MLG).
Their team started competing in LAN events and MLG tournaments, but it took them a lot of grinding before they finally started ranking well. In fact, it was only during Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 that he finally started being noticed by pro teams and until he was finally picked up by Team Fear. From there, he joined Quantic.Leverage.
Scump participated in his first real CoD tournament with them as a member of Quantic.Leverage, along with Teepee, Aches, in the Major League Gaming (MLG) Dallas 2011 tournament, which he and his teammates won. This victory inspired him to forgo college in favor of pursuing a career in pro-gaming. His family was initially against this decision, but have since accepted it and even become supportive of it, in light of his success.
In 2012, Nadeshot rejoined OpTic Gaming and taught Scump about Twitch and streaming. Since then, Scump’s channel has grown exponentially.
He has a girlfriend.
According to his Twitter account, he hit 25,000 subscribers on Twitch on November 13, 2018 and by December 2018, he was able to buy himself a house. If he has managed to sustain this subscriber base, it would earn him a monthly income of at least $87,500 USD, which doesn’t include other revenue from tiered subscribers, tournament winnings, his team salary, sponsorships, advertisements, tips and Twitch cheer bit contributions. According to Esports Earnings, he has collectively earned over $680,000 USD from various tournaments.

People think it’s so easy, and you can just put an hour or two a day into it and it will just magically happen. It’s not like that. You have to be very dedicated. You have to really put your heart and soul into it and hope that it evolves into being a pro-gamer.
When you’re trying to be the best in the world and you’re trying to be competitive, and… be on the best team in the world, you’re going to get into arguments [and] you’re going to butt heads. But, you cannot take it personally. You can never, ever, ever take it personally, because when it becomes personal, that’s when you start to resent your teammates and when you start resenting your teammates and getting mad at them, that’s when team fall apart. That’s whenever egos clash, and that is just a recipe for disaster.
