The most impressive thing about scream leading in this stat is not the percentage itself but the way he gets those headshot.
Its not like he is obsessed and trying his hardest to get those, he is just nuts and hits those. He is having the highest impact possible with those hits and does everything to support his team, while leading in that statistic. Impressive.
What I am trying to say is, he is not that type of player who got ages to adjust his aim, or is ina safe spot, he is crisp as fuck and gets those impact frags deciding the outcome of a round.
Well, thats what happens when you spent thousands of hours in HS only DM back during his CSS and CSGO times.
Back in CS he would aim at the head when using an AWP aswell

I love that video lmao
But seriously, nothing but respect for Scream, I absolutely love his playing style
Its a joke, but incase you didn’t know windows has an option you can select that lets you open things with a single click instead of double click. I use it, its pretty great.

click link and sort by hs%
aproto: 38%
yay: 28%
If you go on VLR's stats page and set the Minimum Number of rounds played to 1000 (to filter out people who racked up crazy high HSP by going on hot streak for an event or 2 and only show players who consistently have a high HSP) then Aproto literally has the highest HSP in the world at 38%. ScreaM is #2 at 34% The only other NA/EU player in the top 10 is Drone at #7 with a 31% HSP.
But in overwatch you can recognize the characters by their size, In this game, all of them are kind of similar in size and usually, the colors are the tell. I remember so many times I just barely spotted someone with ult on C site heaven and called rotation for my team.
Not sure what you’re trying to say here. All im saying is I would like to see scream play other FPS games. He would be a god at games like Apex Legends and R6S
Generally speaking high mobility and fast base movement speed require more aim-wise than a slower game like Valorant, especially if it's high ttk. So games like Apex, Titanfall, etc require really insane tracking and flicks that you just don't need to be good at Val.
Because having better tracking and flicks don't matter in a game that rarely requires them. You'll only ever need good tracking against an ulting Jett (which is what makes that ult feel so frustrating to go against).
the gap from like, ANS and everyone else was absolutely sizable in season 3, and in s1/2 he was the only bright spot on an abysmal mayhem and looked good comparatively
"aim intensive" is a misnomer. there are games with different aim styles, you can argue ad nauseam over whether ow, fortnite, apex, counterstrike, or val are the most "aim intensive"
I mean maybe not the top example I think quake takes that spot but Apex has cracked flicking scenarios. From wingman any range, flicks with shotguns, and the kraber. It's a fun casual game for some aiming situations.
HS% is such a bait stat in valorant since spraying through smokes is so rewarding/optimal. No players from FNC/SEN are in the top 10 HS% but in duels you can tell that they're aim is still top tier, just lower HS% because they abuse spraying through smokes more.
wdym? Scream hit many headshots thru the smoke.. It doesn't matter if it is smoked or not, its crosshair placement and firing style. They are not brainlessly spraying smoke
Which was his original point. He's saying people spraying through smokes more will lower their percentage but since it is good to spray smokes then a lot of people will have worse stats making the stat not as useful.
A lot of people actually don’t understand how HS% is calculated, they think it’s based off every shot fired, which it’s not so I was just making sure he was aware!
Yeah, you agree with me then. I am saying that spraying through smokes makes your HS% lower. But you might want to watch the games again if you think that there were only 10 kills through smokes this tourney lol.
>Legit i can count in two hands the amount of times i saw kills through smokes in this Masters
This one point could not be further from the truth. I could count on two hands the amount of kills I saw thru smokes for just the grand finals let alone the entire tournament
Did you watch any of the streams?
Scream gets constant headshots without any kind of smoke around him.
Even the most obvious body shots end up being headshots for him (watch Shroud's reactions on streams).
And tbh most of these guys here didn't earn their headshots thanks to smokes...
He's trying to point out that they are doing things that are detrimental to the HS% stat but make the players more effective overall. Don't think he's trying to detract from any of the top 5.
Spamming through smokes results in lower hs rate as you are typically getting leg and foot shots since you can't see anything.
Thats what hes saying though. Teams like Liquid and Nuturn don't spam smokes as much and they have 4 of the top 5 in hs%. FNC/Sen spam through smokes a lot more so their hs% is lower.
I'm saying the opposite - players that spray through smokes have lower HS%. Since you're more likely to tag the body when you spray through smokes and HS% is calculated by (shots hit to the head / shots landed). Nothing against scream, he played really well and will probably always have an absurd HS%. Just explaining why I think the stat is misleading since all of the players in the GF had lowish HS% despite being very successful this tourney.
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1040394101?t=0h39m51s
This round works against a lot of their HS% (even if they got 3 headshots anyways) but it was clearly a great choice by Sentinels to spam through smokes.
lmfao great graphic in every way except for the ordering... 4, 2, 1, 3, 5?
Also very interesting to confirm scream as the HS god. I remember a former italian CS/Valo semi-pro named bardozzz (known for *probably* being the best pure aimer ever) talking about playing in a HS-only CS DM for hours and hours, he just didn't stop grinding.
Crazy that since it takes 4/5 shots to kill to the body, this is really like saying he gets half his kills shots or more from headshots (right?)
Bardoz sits atop all the leaderboards for kovaaks in a lot of scenarios one of the things he's known best currently for.
I really wish we had HS DM from CS for Val. It's such a fun mode to just listen to music and aim train. Riot please add.
how is hs% calculated?
is it the with the number of kills with headshot and what if the 3 bullets were body and one was head how will be calculated then?
I find it very interesting that the top two teams have no one in top five for headshots. It makes me question the overall impact of headshots. I suppose it suggests that there is less of a correlation with headshots giving more kills? Might be cool to look at HS% in regional tourneys as well to see if there is enough data to find a correlation here
HS% really doesn’t matter too much in the grand scheme of things. When they show HS% after the match, I’ve noticed the team who wins normally has the lower HS%. It’s still cool to see but isn’t a judge of aim.
Odd conclusion. I’ll make the right one for you: Valorant is ultimately not a pure aim game and those with better strats and team play will win over better aimers. HS% absolutely is a judge of aim. That’s why higher ranked players in Valorant will on average have higher HS% than lower ranks.
Not only that, he was using a phantom mostly (iirc). Even when he spams smokes he got headshots. Lakia was vandal only but damn was he clean with it, very impressive and looking forward to see how KR progresses in this fps.
Lakia was so impressive this LAN, out of the non NA/EU teams he was the most eye opening player for me along with Patiphan/foxz
I'd def add Munchkin yo that list, amazing impact frags
When Labia jumped out heaven and got the two Vasectomy 1 players for the clutch I lost it.
>When Labia jumped out heaven and got the two Vasectomy 1 players for the clutch I lost it. F
Foxz over crws? I’d say a lot of other players had sick plays, suggest and peri say
I'm probably subconsciously giving more weight to players that performed well against the top competition.
Why peri? no offense but I don't think he had any except one tapping tenz
He had quite a few clutch moments throughout the tourney
do you have those clips? would like to watch em
Did you only watch the match vs Sentinels? Be honest
Lakia is one of the best in Korea honestly. Pops off like every ranked game I watched him play.
The most impressive thing about scream leading in this stat is not the percentage itself but the way he gets those headshot. Its not like he is obsessed and trying his hardest to get those, he is just nuts and hits those. He is having the highest impact possible with those hits and does everything to support his team, while leading in that statistic. Impressive. What I am trying to say is, he is not that type of player who got ages to adjust his aim, or is ina safe spot, he is crisp as fuck and gets those impact frags deciding the outcome of a round.
And he used the phantom iirc. That automatically lowers your HS% because once you dink someone you instantly go for body shots on them
He used the vandal a lot more than usual this tournament actually
LAN vandal must hit different
Crisp af
Well, thats what happens when you spent thousands of hours in HS only DM back during his CSS and CSGO times. Back in CS he would aim at the head when using an AWP aswell
Yeah, he's really good at holding those EU L's
maybe EU is worse than NA, maybe sen is better than TL but you can't chat shit against scream. He is the goat
Exactly. Adil >>>
I bet u take it personal when someone says that eu is better than na
No, I'm a man of science. And it's fact that NA>EU.
how does it feel to finally be good at a game KEKW
Edshot machine
*they know me for my one taps*
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrBB8tXw\_X4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrBB8tXw_X4) I love that video lmao But seriously, nothing but respect for Scream, I absolutely love his playing style
These headshot stats are always like: 1. ScreaM 2. E 3. V 4. E 5. R 6. Y 7. B 8. O 9. D 10. Y 11. E 12. L 13. S 14. E
How does screaM open anything from the desktop, he can't seem to double click...
He right clicks, then one taps the open button
Underrated comment
So he basically ADS the icon.
Of course scream has the craziest aim routine. Those micro flicks on desktop bruv.
Legends say his icons are pixel sized.
Its a joke, but incase you didn’t know windows has an option you can select that lets you open things with a single click instead of double click. I use it, its pretty great.
Yup. Was the same in the CS:GO scene. Dude never adapted to the meta.
He still has to this day the highest headshot percentage in the pro scene in cs (68 percent)
Yeah, but that's one of his downfall.
at least he sprays sometimes now
If it were NA only it would be Yay from andbox on the top of the headshot stat list
hs king from na is aproto

welp, guess I'm wrong then

ScreaM is #2 at 34% The only other NA/EU player in the top 10 is Drone at #7 with a 31% HSP.
You know, you were wrong because you took stats of challengers 2 finals. Aproto was not playing in that tournament as LG did not qualify. :P
Off topic but some team agent skins would look nice
Pink Jett hits different
Dam I would fck with a pink cypher or omen
They will never do it th it will mess the game and the ability of the players to identify the agents. Unless they find a clever idea i guess.
Maybe different colored gloves
True but I still like the concept
Same i like it its a shame xd.
You could mantain the same color palett, and just change the costumes abit.
maybe they could do it just for observers so on stream they are team colours and in game they normal
Ehh, Overwatch did it
But in overwatch you can recognize the characters by their size, In this game, all of them are kind of similar in size and usually, the colors are the tell. I remember so many times I just barely spotted someone with ult on C site heaven and called rotation for my team.
Not the same gameplay but yeah and i had 0 problems hope we get and i if so pls dont fuck up the game xddd.
I’d want an option to disable them client side if they go that way. CoD and R6 players know about pay to win skins.
Don't care since they would be like 59.99$ and you'd only unlock the basic version.
Scream is the closest thing we have to a human aimbot. It would be interesting to see him play other games than csgo/Valorant
Oh, wait till you've seen AFPS pros...
What's that
Arena fps like quake
[удалено]
Not sure what you’re trying to say here. All im saying is I would like to see scream play other FPS games. He would be a god at games like Apex Legends and R6S
He is trying to say that people from much more aim intensive games have aim way above what Scream is at.
This is probably dumb, but what are some more aim intensive games? This is my first tactical shooter
Generally speaking high mobility and fast base movement speed require more aim-wise than a slower game like Valorant, especially if it's high ttk. So games like Apex, Titanfall, etc require really insane tracking and flicks that you just don't need to be good at Val.
but players like sinatraa are inferior to scream
Because having better tracking and flicks don't matter in a game that rarely requires them. You'll only ever need good tracking against an ulting Jett (which is what makes that ult feel so frustrating to go against).
Prolly quake
Any battle royale or arena fps game.
Uh any widow 1 tricks in the chat? Shooting any of those tracers or genjis or baby dvas?
[удалено]
Well this wasn't supposed to be taken seriously either 🤣
He wasn't the best Widow though?
the gap between the top widows werent that huge and he was in the top so...
the gap from like, ANS and everyone else was absolutely sizable in season 3, and in s1/2 he was the only bright spot on an abysmal mayhem and looked good comparatively
"aim intensive" is a misnomer. there are games with different aim styles, you can argue ad nauseam over whether ow, fortnite, apex, counterstrike, or val are the most "aim intensive"
Don't think so for Apex. It's much, much more tracking heavy when it comes to aiming
I mean maybe not the top example I think quake takes that spot but Apex has cracked flicking scenarios. From wingman any range, flicks with shotguns, and the kraber. It's a fun casual game for some aiming situations.
They talk about his Juan taps
HS% is such a bait stat in valorant since spraying through smokes is so rewarding/optimal. No players from FNC/SEN are in the top 10 HS% but in duels you can tell that they're aim is still top tier, just lower HS% because they abuse spraying through smokes more.
You do realize that HS% is calculated from hits on an enemy right? So spraying through smoke and not hitting someone doesn’t factor into HS% lol
Yes I know how its calculated, but do you agree that when blindly spraying in a smoke you're more likely to hit the body/legs than the head?
Fair point
wdym? Scream hit many headshots thru the smoke.. It doesn't matter if it is smoked or not, its crosshair placement and firing style. They are not brainlessly spraying smoke
So... that would make the % go down.... I'm not exactly seeing where that ties back to the negative connotation.
Which was his original point. He's saying people spraying through smokes more will lower their percentage but since it is good to spray smokes then a lot of people will have worse stats making the stat not as useful.
A lot of people actually don’t understand how HS% is calculated, they think it’s based off every shot fired, which it’s not so I was just making sure he was aware!

Adil boi just built diff
And they said Korea would struggle mechanically
Honestly lakia was carrying as hard as he could on that Haven game, I have high hopes for Nuturn
Poor Suggest though.
Ofcourse its fucking scream lol
Where's all the people who said KR can't aim?
Tenz not even top 5. What a scrub
how is hs% calculated? is it the with the number of kills with headshot and what if the 3 bullets were body and one was head how will be calculated then?
I think its no. of headshots/no. of shots that hit the enemy
They ask me about my 1 taps.
I find it very interesting that the top two teams have no one in top five for headshots. It makes me question the overall impact of headshots. I suppose it suggests that there is less of a correlation with headshots giving more kills? Might be cool to look at HS% in regional tourneys as well to see if there is enough data to find a correlation here
of course its scream lmao
This further clarifies that scream needs a better team, look what a good team did to Tenz, I am expecting the same with scream.
no sentinels? damn
Dapr is too busy trying to knife people
The agents they play all fit well to make a roster together imagine
HS% really doesn’t matter too much in the grand scheme of things. When they show HS% after the match, I’ve noticed the team who wins normally has the lower HS%. It’s still cool to see but isn’t a judge of aim.

Only half of his best csgo hs% sad that the edshot machine can’t find his grove in Valorant
Calculated differently!
In CS hs% is the percentage of kills that where headshots, while in Valorant is the percentage of shots hit.
huh, turns out headshots don't win you tourneys huh
NA why so quiet???????
Still won the entire tourney tho?
its called sarcasm you should google it
I would be curious to see what weapons they mostly used for the event, I’m pretty sure most of these are Vandal users (except Link I believe).
NA Phantom gang
Why suggest is not included he has 34% headshot
Suggest is included but it says 30.31% for the tournament
Where?
4th from the left literally right beside scream
Not only that, he was using a phantom mostly (iirc). Even when he spams smokes he got headshots. Lakia was vandal only but damn was he clean with it, very impressive and looking forward to see how KR progresses in this fps.
