IT’S OFFICIAL: SCREAM HAS THE HIGHEST HEADSHOT % IN CSGO
They're really talking about his one-taps.

...

The hltv profile of the Belgian professional CSGO player ranks him #1 in the world in terms of headshot percentage currently. The 25-year-old “1-tap machine” is currently rocking a headshot percentage of over 68% – a number most CSGO players could only dream to achieve.

The man also has well over 27000 kills in competitive CSGO, and maintaining a headshot percentage so high spread across such a huge number of kills is definitely not a small task. ScreaM also boasts a 1.13 kill/death ratio and an ADR of 79.1 – both of which are extremely impressive numbers, especially at the highest levels of competitive Counter-Strike.

Well played, @Neoprod :thumbsup:

I am surprised how a veteran team can push it to the limits, but once they have to grind in OT they collapse.

^^^^, this online stuff is chaos...this same Fnatic team lost to ENCE a week ago, then beat Astralis and then lost to Dignitas (no disrespect to Forest and co but if the Fnatic that played Astralis had shown up, this would have been over in < 50 rounds). ENCE lost their very next game after beating Fnatic to Heretics!?! Mousesports lost to Movistar RIders the other day (who tf even is that)? Dignitas should have expanded on their tweet...they beat Fnatic but lost just a few days ago to NiP and Heretics :unsure:

LAN competition can't come back soon enough...maybe there are some focus issues in general happening with teams playing from their gaming houses. Either that or people have decided to start "iBuypowering" their games. Whatever's going on, there's way too much variability in performance.

Meh, check out DIG's game stats. Get_Right played like the old Get_Right. Forest and Friberg did what they always do, but the matches was carried by Always Right. Consecutive OTs. The only map in which DIG dominated was Dust2, and it was nearly turned around.

NiP also have a very good roster with players who have dominated their leagues, and I am sure that DIG still plays NiP strats.

Heretics is a bloody good team with three very known French players. Vitality, G2, all which are good teams when they want to pitch up.

I don't know how these games are tracks by the ESL, but they have rather expensive third-party tracking systems in place when I checked it out.

No, I don't the Spanish team, but these guys have some Brazilian skills.

People don't like their champs go down, always been the case with competitive CSGO and when it is a regular occurrence those players are discarded by the scene.

Those Camel Riders are going to Rio. I think those Argentinians also managed to beat BOOM.

The only oddity that I have noticed is that players tend to over anticipate their peeking. Jiggles are odd. Maybe they are taking chances or they loss it which isn't the case.

They do play on local ESL, but I don't know whether they are leveraging ESEA where all pro players scrim. Though online isn't optimal, the players are used to it.

South America 1st round is done,

I see BOOM did win it. I though Isurus was going to take it.

Orgless also withdrew their participation in the North American Group A. It is a bit odd when they are in these rounds and decides to disband their CSGO roster. All Orgless schedule results are nulled.

This is scum'ish by Orgless, but I don't know whether the team or the organisation is to be blamed. The players blamed the CS scene and said that the organisations have withdrawn contracts to put their attention to contracting Valorant players. All this being said on Twitch whilst playing Valorant.

I wouldn't be surprised that RIOT is trying to convert current CS-centric orgs to do a total conversion to Valorant. Steam is also partly to blame, they don't back CS in the new e-sports era where money and commitments have become a serious matter.

The more I watch the French play the more dodge they look. New to the scene players with godlike abilities. Now I know the French in general don't like to play in the big leagues, but here they are with a bang winning the best individual plays.

Yes, I know it is online, but they play like bots set to the max. I guess the ESL servers are hosted in France.

CSGO SURPASSES FORTNITE IN PRIZE MONEY TO RECLAIM ITS NO. 2 SPOT
The competitive shooter by Valve now boasts over 95 million dollar in prize money.

If you’ve been following us for a while, you’re probably aware of the time Fortnite overtook CSGO in esports earnings. Back then Fortnite was still a young esport and it being able to surpass CSGO – a well established title in the world of esports – caught many esports enthusiasts off-guard. However, Fortnite couldn’t enjoy the lead for long as it appears that CSGO has reclaimed its #2 spot on the charts within months of losing it.

According to esports earnings, CSGO now holds over a 10 million dollar lead to Fortnite in terms of prize money, bouncing back from the $200k deficit it had back in September 2019. The prize money of the Valve title now stands at an estimated 95,190,049$ while the Epic Games battle royale lags behind at $85,164,796.

It is a bit misleading. It is a collective amount and Fortnite doesn't remotely have as many competitions as CSGO. Epic can double that in less than 5 competitions.
