NiKo on ScreaM's return to pro play: "His aim is crisp, but he's rusty with the gameplay"

In a recent showmatch in China, the legendary Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom showed he's still got the aiming skills that made him famous, but another great rifler said he still has a ways to go.

NiKo told Chad "SPUNJ" Burchill during an ESL "Rifler Roundtable video that the 30-year-old ScreaM⁠'s "aim is crisp still, but I think he's a bit rusty with the gameplay," adding that "it's really hard to come back to CS2." ScreaM played alongside long-time teammate Kenny "kennyS" Schrub, as well as NiKo, Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov, and Casper "cadiaN" Møller.

Back in May, ScreaM announced his intentions to "return" to the competitive game, joining Turkish organization FUT Esports' roster as a sixth man/content creator, with his younger brother Nabil "⁠Nivera⁠" Benrlitom competing on the starting roster. ScreaM stated his goal for is to "fully comeback" after he familiarizes himself with the game.

Both brothers have spent extended time away from competitive Counter-Strike, as both left to compete in VALORANT for a number of years, playing together on both Liquid and Karmine Corp.
