Its all very situational.

The thing most forget about the Scorpions in the games is that they are firing high-explosive rounds. I would imagine with a canonical Scorpion that it would be possible to load AT rounds of some kind, but we don't see that in game. That being said: a single modern SABOT or AT round can disable most any other modern tanks.
The Scorpion might have a leg up if its had 550 years to design better armor to withstand AT rounds, and better AT rounds to fight other tanks with. It also auto loads its shells which means it can probably put more down range as well.
I could go on in their differences, but I would argue while the design of the Abrams makes more sense than the Scorpions, I imagine the Scorpion would beat it in armor, fire rate, and crew. 100 Scorpions vs 100 Abrams would probably see a Scorpion victory, but not without casualties.
Actually a well trained Abrams tank crew loads and fires rounds faster than a Russian auto loader, which is mounted on most modern Russian tanks including the t-90.
