I was only talking about screams cs career not val, as an example of high headshot players not always finding success overall. Obviously he is reliable for TL in valorant

Just sort VLR stats page by HS%, most of the highest are t2 and t3 players and it's almost exclusively people who main vandal

HS% is kind of a useless stat tbh. Apart from the fact that it favors vandal > phantom players, people with consistently high headshot percentages are often not the best fraggers; there's not really a direct correlation, its just a playstyle thing.

I.e. look at aproto in NA val (38% all time) - hes really good, but theres many better fraggers in the region despite him consisntely having the highest hs %. Or look at scream in csgo, always known for his headshot percentage but was also known to be inconsistent and unreliable

they played KRU in first round

-tailored -cutler +brax

If you see the players talk on stream about it, it doesn't seem like they really have much of an idea or input on who gets to play. When dust interviewed hazed after the last match about where the 6 man roster is headed, he said he has no idea but that the org will figure it out, not "we" will figure it out.

That's often a factor when we look at stats in a vacuum, but in this case I think if you watch the games, the frequency that he whiffs compared to other players on the team is pretty apparent

I have plenty of respect for his career, but you can clearly see from the games that his mechanics are pretty responsible for his low scores and not just him being in a support role or whatever, he regularly whiffs frags that you would expect to be "easy" for pros. There was a clip on ascent where he stared at an enemy for like a full second and just didn't click his mouse

It's kind of insane that TSM have had brax signed for this long and still have not even tried a scrim with hazed/brax both in and cutler benched. It seems like such an obvious move for their roster

Brax has said sentinel is his least favorite role, just let him fill whatever else while hazed IGLs on sentinel. Signing a player that big and then leaving him on the bench for someone underperforming this hard is so mind boggling, especially when cutler isn't even IGL anymore

At this point I feel like you have to seriously question their coach
