I wonder why ScreaM is attached to Valorant, even though he doesn't have a team anymore, why he doesn't want to go back to CS so much? Is there any statement from him that explains this?
I love his dedication to Valorant esports. It is common knowledge for every valo nerd that the game as an esport competetive shooter is dying (especially tier 2). I once heard leaks that ScreaM was supposed to play for Team Falcons, I don't know why it didn't happen, because it could have been a game changer
these stats are irrrelevant, his stats dropped with every year of competition, 1.01 on lan against tier 2 is not good (https://www.hltv.org/stats/players/7390/scream?startDate=2019-01-01&endDate=2019-12-31&matchType=Lan), 0.98 against top 30, which is pretty much the upper tier 2 level, is bad (https://www.hltv.org/stats/players/7390/scream?startDate=2019-01-01&endDate=2019-12-31&rankingFilter=Top30), from 1.30 in 2012 to 1.17 in 2013 to then dropping to around 1.1 with all the big event filters

take a look at the overall stats and if u think 0.98 is bad ur just clueless on cs teams. based on your opinion everyone under 1.10 is a washed up player lol ?? then everyone under top 30 is washed up ? bruh
PS: consider other factors like bad team mates/coaches too dont focus on him alone + he didnt finish his contract with gamerlegion due to stupid team management..
long term past and short term past are two different things. since scream has left there have been 5 different majors, 4 new major winner orgs, dozens of new players entering top 20, plenty of new orgs debuting at tier 1 events, meta changing, etc. That's like asking if you worked out this day or 3 years ago, does the work out 3 years ago hold relevance today? there have been way more accomplished players also falling off, dupreeh, magisk, snax, pasha, taz,neo, stewie2k, autimatic, kennys, fallen, coldzera, fer, olofmeister, guardian, NBK, kioshima, electronic, flamie, get_right, f0rest, JW, Flusha, etc
He wants hardware for the game. In CS, his aim was insane and he always got recognition for his mechanics and got some silverware, but he never won a major and he probably wants to go out with a bang(winning an LAN or smt). ScreaM just had a bad season bc they put him on IGL, something that he barely or never done. I think put him on his normal role and with a solid team he would do great.
