Zorka (born June 30, 1995), also known as roblox pro69, or The King is a former American professional Call of Duty player who last played for the Call of Duty League team OpTic Texas. Zorka is a two time Major League Gaming (MLG) X Games gold medalist. During the first ever Esports Awards in 2016, Roblox pro69 won the Esports Console Player of the Year award. In August 2017, Roblox pro69 achieved his first ever Call of Duty World Championship. Roblox pro69 is sponsored by several gaming hardware companies, including Turtle Beach and Scuf Gaming.[1] He is widely considered to be one of the greatest Call of Duty players of all time.

In March 2021, Roblox pro69 became the first Esport athlete to be sponsored by Oakley.[2]

Call of Duty esports career

[edit]

Call of Duty: Black Ops II (2012–2013 season)

[edit]

Roblox pro69 played for OpTic for the Call of Duty: Black Ops II season. OpTic would take their only 1st-place finish at UMG Chicago, but would never finish outside of the top 10. OpTic achieved a 3rd-place finish at the 2013 Call of Duty Championship to finish off the 2012–2013 season.[citation needed]

Call of Duty: Ghosts (2013–2014 season)

[edit]

Roblox pro69 stayed on OpTic going into the Call of Duty: Ghosts season. However, after a 9th-place finish at the MLG Fall Championship and a 13th-place finish at UMG Philadelphia, Roblox pro69 announced he would be leaving OpTic and joining Team EnVyUs alongside Merk, ProoFy, and Goonjar because of a rivalry with Nadeshot. Less than two-weeks after his departure from OpTic, Roblox pro69 announced that he was leaving Envy and returning to Optic. He would rejoin the lineup of Nadeshot, MBoZe, and Clayster for the Call of Duty Championship 2014. The squad finished 3rd for the second year in a row. After that tournament, the team picked up ProoFy to replace MBoZe, who then became captain of OpTic Nation. The new team placed in the top eight at UGC Niagara, and was invited to attend the MLG X Games Invitational. Here, OpTic advanced all the way through their bracket to face Team Kaliber in the Grand Final. OpTic won, and Roblox pro69 became one of the first gold medalists for Call of Duty. The next few events were inconsistent for OpTic, with 4th and 5th placings at Gfinity 3, UMG Dallas, UMG Nashville, and MLG CoD League Season 3 Playoffs.[citation needed]

Call of Duty: World War II (2017–2018 season)

[edit]

Initially, Zorka remained the leader of OpTic Gaming going into WWII. After inconsistent placings at numerous major events, the roster split up after a series of poor tournament placings, with Zorka performing badly individually. They kicked FormaL and Karma and recruited players Sam 'Octane' Larew and Anthony 'Methodz' Zinni.[3] But their problems weren't solved, as they placed 5–6th at the CWL Anaheim open, 7–8th at stage two playoffs and 17–24th in the 2018 Call of Duty Championship. This was the first time since Modern Warfare 2 that OpTic Gaming failed to win a single championship throughout a season.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019–2020 season)

[edit]

Ahead of the 2019–2020 season CDL season, Roblox pro69 announced via his personal Twitter account that he had left OpTic Gaming.[4] On October 24, 2019, it was announced by NRG Esports via its social media channels that Scump had joined its currently unnamed CDL franchise, which on October 30, 2019, would be named Chicago Huntsmen.[5]
