Scump & OpTic Texas confirm Dashy was dropped due to ‘attitude’
Opening the podcast, Scump explained that it was a “team decision” and he “hates” having to drop his friends. However, with theMW2 season confirmed as being his last, it’s understandable that issues have to be quickly addressed.
Specifically, Rambo and Scump confirmed Dashy was dropped due to his ‘attitude’. While they did not say it outright, they explained that there are two reasons players are dropped. The first is talent and the second is attitude.
Rambo said: “We were going to make a roster change in the off-season. It didn’t happen, we felt like we could move through it. We ended up not being able to do it… the reasons that led us to wanna make the roster change in the off-season is what led us to make a roster change at this point.”

It has previously been confirmed thatDashy’s “attitude” was the reason OpTic Texas considered dropping himprior to the MW2 season. They ultimately decided to “run it back.”
Scump added: “We had a talk at the start of the year and we laid it out on the table. This is what we expect from everybody, this is what we want this year. If we don’t get it there’s gonna be f**king problems. There were problems… That’s why I wanted Ray to say it’s not performance-based, because it’s not performance-based, at all.”
Dashy, for his part, has issued a series of responses to the podcast. While live early on January 13, he refuted aspects of OpTic Texas’ reasoning, saying he was no worse as a teammate than anyone else. He evenaccusedRambo of occasionally skipping scrims to go bowling.
