Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom, former star of VeryGames and G2 Esports and current inactive VALORANT player for Karmine Corp, is the star of the 439th Episode of 'Reflections'. This is episode one of two about ScreaM's career.

ScreaM is one of CS:GO's most iconic stars, famed for his pure headshot style of firing. A rising talent in the latter days of Source he showed his mechanical abilitity to be among the very best in early CS:GO and was one of the players putting up big time numbers against the mighty NiP when his VeryGames team finally began to reverse the one-sided nature of that rivalry.

After winning some very respectable trophies with VeryGames as 2013 went on, the majors caused immediate heartarche for ScreaM. His team were halted at the semi-final by rivals NiP and he would only once again in his career even taste the play-offs of a major! 2014 saw Titan, as they were now called, against competitive across the circuit but now a bust each major that came around.

ScreaM was also seemingly always left out of the French shuffle moments in the scene. In 2015 this meant going to play with one of the earliest international sides, as the Kinguin featuring rain and dennis cracked top eight at the ESL One Cologne major but could do little else besides a one off win at Gaming Paradise.

Going back to Titan meant ScreaM was there for the eventual shift into the G2 line-up which at one point in 2016 was one of the best in the world and after almost beating the Brazilians to win EPL S3 were able to accomplish the feat at ECS S1 Finals. Alas they bombed the 'Group of Death' at the Cologne major following that.

When another shuffle occured in early 2017, it was ScreaM again left on the outside looking in as he wound up playing with the misfits in the EnVy line-up leftover. That team would not accomplish any big runs of note and ScreaM's CS:GO career wound down in underwhelming fashion.

In VALORANT, he was a part of the Team Liquid squad which remained one of Europe's elite sides for most of the first couple of years of VCT. With the partnership era, ScreaM moved with his brother to play in Karmine Corp but did not find the kind of success he had hoped for. He is now inactive.

In part one, ScreaM talks about his entry into Source, the early days of CS:GO, his firing style and getting left out of those French shuffles!

This interview was recorded on the 12th of August, 2024.
