    What does Scump regret? Scump says in the podcast that he regrets some decisions he made in the past from today’s perspective. For example, he is annoyed that he didn’t end his career as a CoD professional years ago and instead played and streamed Fortnite.

    Scump’s interviewer Hitch then asked if he would tell his former self to retire and play Fortnite after winning the world title. Scump confirmed the thought: “Yes. I love competitive gaming more than anything, obviously it’s been my whole life, but that’s one thing I regret.”

    Scump continued to play Call of Duty professionally during Fortnite’s great rise – but was unable to win another world championship title.
