However, due to organizational funding issues preventing travel to events, the core roster—including Scump, MerK (Matt Haag), BigTymeR (Tyler Moon), and Rambo (Tyler Robb)—temporarily signed with eSports NA in March 2012 to secure logistical support and continue competing in the Modern Warfare 3 Pro Circuit.

First stint with OpTic Gaming (2012–2020)

Scump had joined in late 2011. After his brief stint with apeX eSports NA in early 2012, he returned to ahead of the Black Ops II season, forming part of the core roster alongside Nadeshot, MBoZe, and Clayster. This lineup quickly established itself as a dominant force, securing multiple event wins including the MLG Winter Championship 2013 and contributing to 's rising prominence in the "Green Wall" fanbase. Scump's aggressive slayer style on SMGs was instrumental in these successes, helping the team achieve consistent top placements and solidifying his reputation as a key fragger. In the Call of Duty: Ghosts era (2013–2014), the roster underwent adjustments, with ProoFy replacing MBoZe, but OpTic maintained strong performances, including a third-place finish at the Call of Duty Championship 2014 despite roster turbulence—Scump briefly left for Team EnVyUs in January 2014 before rejoining shortly after. Transitioning to Advanced Warfare in 2014–2015, the team integrated Crimsix and FormaL, later adding Karma in place of Nadeshot, leading to a dynasty of victories such as the MLG Pro League Season 1 Playoffs win, UMG Orlando 2015, MLG World Finals 2015, and back-to-back X Games gold medals in 2014 and 2015. Scump evolved into a versatile main AR player during this period, anchoring objective play while maintaining high kill counts, which was pivotal to OpTic's 9 major championships in the Advanced Warfare season alone. Post-2016 roster stability with the quartet of Scump, Crimsix, Karma, and FormaL propelled OpTic through Black Ops III, Infinite Warfare, World War II, and Black Ops 4, yielding the 2017 Call of Duty World League Championship victory in Infinite Warfare after defeating Team EnVyUs in the grand finals. Although they fell short of another world title in Black Ops III (where EnVyUs won the 2016 Championship) and faced challenges in World War II (17th–24th at the 2018 Championship) and Black Ops 4 (third place at the 2019 Championship), the team notched multiple top finishes, including wins at MLG Orlando 2016 and consistent playoff appearances. Scump's adaptation to AR mains and leadership as team captain during these years underscored OpTic's enduring competitiveness, amassing over $1 million in collective earnings and cementing their status as a Call of Duty powerhouse through 2020.

Time with Chicago Huntsmen and OpTic Chicago (2019–2021)

In late 2019, ahead of the inaugural , "Scump" was traded from to the Huntsmen, joining a roster that included Matthew "FormaL" Piper, "Envoy" Hannon, and "Arcitys" Sanderson. The move followed internal franchise issues at OpTic, including tensions between team owner Hector "H3CZ" Rodriguez and the parent company [Immortals Gaming Club](/page/Immortals_Gaming Club), prompting Scump to seek a fresh start with his former co-owner H3CZ, who had founded the Huntsmen . This reunion with longtime teammates like FormaL was described by Scump as a "no-brainer" to rebuild competitive synergy after a disappointing 2019 split. During the 2020 Call of Duty League season on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the Chicago Huntsmen demonstrated strong regular-season form, securing multiple home series wins and finishing second overall in the standings with a 21-9 record. In the playoffs, they advanced to the winners bracket final but fell 3-1 to Atlanta FaZe, ultimately placing third and earning $600,000.

The roster showed promise in the regular season, achieving top-four finishes at the Stage 1 and Stage 5 Majors, with Scump anchoring the team in objective-based modes. Yet, persistent issues with respawn modes and adapting to the Cold War meta led to inconsistencies, culminating in a 5-6th place finish at the 2021 Championship after losses to Toronto Ultra and Los Angeles Thieves. Scump later cited team-wide execution errors in high-pressure scenarios as a key hurdle, though the experience reinforced his role as a stabilizing veteran. The one-season stint under the Huntsmen banner and subsequent rebranding marked a transitional phase for Scump, blending nostalgia with OpTic's legacy while exposing adaptation struggles to the evolving CDL landscape. After the 2021 Championship, ongoing franchise shifts prompted Scump's alignment with a restructured OpTic roster for the following year.

The OpTic Texas roster for the 2021–2022 Vanguard season featured Scump alongside Anthony "Shotzzy" Cuevas-Castro, Brandon "Dashy" Otell, and Inderwir "iLLeY" Dhaliwal. As team captain and veteran leader, Scump helped guide the squad through a season of adaptation to Vanguard's submachine gun-dominant meta and respawn mechanics. OpTic Texas opened strongly by claiming the Stage 1 Major title in March 2022, defeating Atlanta FaZe 5–2 in the grand finals to secure $150,000 and qualification points. However, the team encountered challenges in maintaining consistency, finishing 5th–6th at the Stage 2 Major amid spawn issue controversies that affected gameplay balance. They rebounded for top-4 placements at both the Stage 3 and Stage 4 Majors, as well as a 3rd–4th finish at the CDL Championship, earning a total of $455,000 across the season's events. Ahead of the 2022–2023 Modern Warfare II season, OpTic Texas refreshed its lineup in August 2022 by signing Amer "Pred" Zulbeari to replace iLLeY, forming a core of Scump, Shotzzy, Dashy, and Pred. The team demonstrated early promise in qualifiers and online play, leveraging Scump's experience in objective-based modes to secure strong regular-season standings.
