Biography
Early Life and Background
Seth Abner, known as Scump, was born on June 30, 1995, in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Raised in a supportive family, Seth grew up with his parents and a younger brother, Jordan, who occasionally appears in his content. As a kid, he was drawn to sports and gaming, particularly Call of Duty, which he started playing at age 12. His competitive drive showed early, fueled by a love for challenges. Seth attended Cumberland Valley High School and briefly studied at Harrisburg University before dropping out to pursue gaming full-time. His nickname “Scump” came from a playful jab by his uncle, combining “scum” and “punk,” which stuck as his gaming alias. His early obsession with Call of Duty laid the foundation for his esports career.
Rise to Fame
Seth launched his YouTube channel, “Scump,” on November 6, 2012, but began streaming on Twitch (twitch.tv/scump) in 2011, focusing on Call of Duty: Black Ops. His 2013 video “MW3 - How To Make It Rain” gained traction, but his Black Ops II competitive play with OpTic Gaming in 2012 skyrocketed his fame. A standout moment was his first championship win with Quantic LeveraGe at MLG Dallas in 2011. By 2017, his Call of Duty World Championship win cemented his legacy. His Twitch streams, peaking at 180,855 viewers in March 2023, and YouTube highlights like “Scump’s Best Moments” drew millions. His Instagram (@scumpabner) and TikTok (@scump) grew with gaming clips and personal moments, making him a Call of Duty icon.
Streaming Career and Content Style
Scump is a Twitch streamer, YouTuber, and retired Call of Duty esports pro with OpTic Gaming, known for Call of Duty: Warzone, Modern Warfare, and variety games like Counter-Strike 2. His YouTube channel features gameplay, reactions like “Reacting to My Old Clips,” and collabs with streamers like TimTheTatman and NICKMERCS. He streams 5–6 hours daily on Twitch, averaging 7,205 viewers in 2024, with a high-energy, trash-talking style that’s both competitive and fun. Seth joined OpTic’s “The Gentlemen” for ranked Warzone and competed in the 2025 AT&T Annihilator Cup with Doublelift, summit1g, LVNDMARK, and lovelylo. He sells merch via opticgaming.com and has partnered with Oakley and Mountain Dew.
Achievements and Recognition
Scump’s YouTube channel earned a Gold Play Button, with over 2.7 million subscribers and 596 million views. He’s a 2017 Call of Duty World Champion, 2021 World Series of Warzone winner, and two-time X Games gold medalist (2014–2015), with 31 major tournament wins. Named Esports Console Player of the Year in 2016 and listed in Forbes’ 2022 30 Under 30 in Gaming, he’s the first esports athlete sponsored by Oakley. Dexerto reported he earned $55,000 from a single 2024 Twitch stream, highlighting his content success. In 2023, he retired from competitive play, transitioning to streaming for OpTic Texas, where his custom streaming room, built by C. Scenic and Mountain Dew, became a fan favorite.
Personal Life
Seth lives in Frisco, Texas, with his fiancée, Isabelle, whom he proposed to in July 2024 during a Call of Duty stream. He’s 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs about 70 kg, with brown hair and green eyes, and sports tattoos, including one honoring his gaming career. A car enthusiast, Seth owns a collection featured in vlogs, and he’s a dog lover, often sharing moments with his pets. He enjoys basketball, supporting the Philadelphia 76ers, and stays fit with gym workouts. Close with his family, especially his brother Jordan, Seth credits his parents for supporting his career. Known for frugality, he’s joked about it on OpTic’s podcast, though his peers see it as great content.
Impact and Future
Scump has defined Call of Duty esports, inspiring a generation of players with his skill and charisma. His 47-tournament streak from 2014–2018, with 19 championships and a 3.78 average placing, is legendary. The Verge noted in 2023 that his retirement shifted focus to streaming, growing OpTic’s brand. His charity streams, like raising $106,000 for St. Jude’s in 2018, show his commitment to giving back. Seth’s move to streaming, with events like the 2025 Annihilator Cup, keeps him relevant. Looking ahead, he plans to expand his Twitch and YouTube content, possibly exploring new games or IRL streams, and grow his role with OpTic Texas. With his “King” nickname and loyal fanbase, Seth is set to remain a gaming titan, encouraging fans to chase their passions.
