Esports Legend FormaL Hints at Call of Duty Comeback Amid Halo Tournament Success
October 5, 2024Seth 'Scump' Abner recently addressed rumors surrounding Matthew 'FormaL' Piper's potential return to Call of Duty esports.
Scump noted that FormaL has been hinting at a comeback, although his specific plans remain uncertain.
To re-enter the main League, FormaL would likely need to compete in the Challengers division to demonstrate his skills.
Given his absence from competitive play for over three years, it is unclear if FormaL would immediately secure a spot in the League.
If FormaL wins the World Championship tournament in Seattle, he would further cement his legacy as one of the greatest controller-based esports players, joining an elite group with world championship titles in both Halo and Call of Duty.
A former Call of Duty world champion, FormaL retired in 2021 and shifted to Halo, where he also claimed a world championship title.
Currently, FormaL is competing in the Halo World Championship tournament in Seattle, but his future in esports remains uncertain.
The current state of the Halo esports ecosystem is not ideal, prompting FormaL to consider a return to Call of Duty, especially with recent positive changes in the Call of Duty League.
In July, FormaL expressed his desire to play Black Ops 6 at a professional level, which aligns with Scump's insights about his potential return.
