Skrapz's History
Black Ops 3
Skrapz really broke onto the scene for the first time during the Black Ops 3 season, as part of Team Tempo (soon to become Rampage Tempo).
Regarded as a major "online team", Skrapz, Momentus, RyanGray and TypicalNerd were performing well in the EU CWL Challenge Division tournaments.
The team proved everyone wrong, with Skrapz particularly shining, as they placed top 6 at the EGL London Open in 2016.
Things started to slow down as they failed to qualify for the CWL Stage 2; Skrapz was quickly picked up by Epsilon Esports afterwards.
Epsilon was touted to go on to do great things but found their only success at Insomnia58; which was a tournament that hosted limited top teams.
Plenty of internal issues started to show within the camp and it led to the team splitting up at the end of the Black Ops 3 season after placing in the top 16 at COD Champs 2016.
Infinite Warfare
Skrapz found himself moving teams once again, this time landing on Fnatic; which was their re-entry into Call of Duty esports for the first time since 2011.
Alongside Tommey and SunnyB, Skrapz convinced them to pick up his twin brother wuskin; who had recently started competing.
It was admittedly a slow but exciting start to the Infinite Warfare season. It was a team full of raw talent, who were attempting to overthrow the Call of Duty giants of the scene, under the guidance of EU veteran Tommey.
As the season grew, the team thrived, with their first major placement arriving at the EU CWL Birmingham Open in 2017.
Despite a small blip, that could have potentially seen them relegated from the Pro League, they hung on to make Stage 2 before going onto the second EU event of the year (CWL Sheffield) where they once again placed 3rd.
Things seemed to be on the up as they had the highest placing of any EU team at the Stage 2 finals (top 6) and managed a perfect 3-0 in pools at COD Champs 2017.
However, a surprise upset from NA amateur team Allegiance left them in a loser bracket match to Luminosity; which they lost to finish top 16.
WWII
A new year, meant a new team. Sticking with wuskin, the two picked up Moose and Seany to form a new squad under UNILAD Esports in WWII. It was a tale of two stories when comparing their online and offline performances.
Their lack of consistency when it mattered was enough to tempt Skrapz away from UNILAD to join Red Reserve, after a year plagued with top 16 finishes.
The team of Skrapz, Rated, Joee and Zer0 found success fast as they placed 2nd at CWL Anaheim, 1st in their Pro League division and 3rd in the playoffs.
They arrived at COD Champs 2018 in fine form, only to finish top 8; a career-best for Skrapz at COD Champs.
Black Ops 4
Following a short but sweet stint with Red Reserve, the team stuck together for Black Ops 4, adding Bance as their fifth squad member.
It was a poor start to the season, finishing in the top 12 at the CWL Las Vegas Open and were forced into the CWL Pro League Qualifier; a make or break event for their careers.
Despite going 4-2 in pools, it wasn't good enough to qualify out of pools; they had to do it the hard way, beating G2 Esports in a game 5 round 11 and finally Team Sween.
Black Ops 4 was no doubt Skrapz most impressive season to date as an individual. After poor placings and the Red Reserve organisation collapsing, FaZe saw an opportunity to re-enter Call of Duty esports and picked up Skrapz; buying the Pro League spot off of Red Reserve.
Along with Zer0, ZooMaa, Asim and Cellium, the team's first outing at CWL London was impressive despite the low and somewhat controversial placing. It was quickly forgotten thanks to their 4th place finish at CWL Anaheim and a 3rd place finish at the CWL Pro League playoffs.
It was the same story for Skrapz and his squad, heading into COD Champs 2019 in top form only to have things not click at the event - they placed top 16.
