It suffices to say that Sébastien “SCREAM” Afonso is truly one of the very few dozen iconic names in the competitive gaming circuit. Just a few days previous, one tweet started a whole hullabaloo about this player’s skill, and to top it off, SCREAM seemed to be something out of a novel. The tweet read: “THERE’S NO WAY SCREAM IS HUMAN,” expressing this preconception that SCREAM is almost superhumanly gifted.
This remark evoked nostalgic memories with many recollections from different fans and set a very lively chat about SCREAM’s play. SCREAM was really shining during the days of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), a title that did enjoy a fair mainstream popularity among its fans, thus earning him the label of being the most accurate shooter in the game.
He earned his title as the “One-Tap Machine” due to his knack for land head shots instantly and with utmost precision. Since this time, SCREAM would not become obsolete and continued his improvement from an already high level by taking on Valorant. To some wild fans, it looks so much effortless that it seems that he cannot be human!
With the tweet in circulation, everyone had their say. Obviously the tweet made by their user Stefan400368 is quite flabbergasted by SCREAM’s abilities: “He killed 3 while stunned on 3 different elevation”. This gives the impression that SCREAM works some kind of voodoo magic under pressure.
On the other hand, not every user agreed with the assessment that SCREAM possessed talents beyond the normal. Another user by the name of marvinn0_0 asserted that SCREAM was “overrated” and even went so far as to question whether he had really earned his status in the competitive scene. These critiques show that while SCREAM has many fans, he also has a small group of dissenters that feel he did not deserve the level of hype surrounding him.
Welcome to this kind of banter in the gaming community! User saadvai101 confirmed the talent of SCREAM, even quoting from’s days at Team Liquid, “He almost single-handedly took Liquid to champ 2022 in LCQ,” fact boxing others.
Others went even more humorous about the matter. User lightlymistaken added a humorous jab saying “functionando como era pra ser, c ctz,” which would roughly translate to “functioning like it’s supposed to be, for sure”.
Throughout the threads, mutual respect and suspicions flutter on. What’s interesting is how, as gaming fans, we find ourselves torn between believing SCREAM is a one-in-a-generation talent and thinking that much of what he is showing will not ring trail in the current Valorant mete.
One such commenter, imfaowither, noted in reply with an affirmation of SCREAM’s unblemished name: “Did we forget who scream was?” Meanwhile, the equally loud criticism from DeonnHayes and other rantings about the blights of stun mechanics in play were pretty damn flimsy.
The talk here is more than a discourse on SCREAM’s accomplishments; it’s an ever-growing stream of dedicated fanfare that gives voice to the gaming community at large. There will always be counter-comments to all such praises, and here with such total pandemonium do players feel they ought to actually speak their mind by getting into discussions about their players and their performance.
That, essentially, brings life into this community and keeps the fun alive.
The starry SCREAM’s legend plunges deeper, crossing along a much-debated dispute among gamers. In whatever manner he might perform, this custodianship thereby reinforces SCREAM in the gaming world. Whether a demigod or an animal human, one thing is constant: SCREAM will always captivate the eyes of the audience and player in our view, poised at waiting for his next dazzling move.
So what do you say? Is SCREAM superhuman, or is the key he has up his sleeve just some knowledge of how to play the game? Either way, the dispute and analysis of talent certainly keep the Valorant community alive and kicking!
