Shooter professionals are able to land precise shots that seem impossible for regular players. Tyson “TenZ” Ngo is a Valorant professional and has released a video where viewers can admire his precision. The streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel tries to copy the technique during a livestream but fails spectacularly.
xQc is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch and is particularly versatile. Recently, he has been showcasing games like Bloons Tower Defense, GTA 5, or Roblox on his channel. However, he started his career as an Overwatch professional and participated in the World Cup in 2017 and 2018.
Accordingly, xQc is well-versed in shooters and various shooting techniques. During a livestream, he attempted to demonstrate his accuracy in the game Aim Lab, a simulation for targeted shooting in shooters.
During this, he also tried to copy a technique from Valorant professional TenZ. But it went horribly wrong.
xQc fails at the “Scorpion Grip”
How did xQc perform? In an average round, the streamer scored about 41,000 points with an accuracy of 75%. But that was not enough for him.
So he watched TenZ’s video and tried out the “Scorpion Grip”. However, in his first attempt, he missed absolutely every shot:
During the rest of the stream, the streamer attempted the technique several times but repeatedly gave up after a few seconds.
Frustrated, xQc gives up and jokingly calls TenZ a hacker: “Guys, this is a hacker. He is hacking. That’s the reason why people like me can’t break high scores.”
What kind of shooting technique is that? TenZ is counted among the best Valorant players currently. In a video, the professional explains the technique he uses for shooting and how he achieved a strong score of 133,000 points and an accuracy of 89% in Aim Lab (via YouTube).
He calls his technique the “Scorpion Grip,” where he holds the middle finger in the air like a scorpion holding its stinger. Otherwise, he relies on the “normal” claw grip that many shooter players use.
In the video, TenZ also showed how he shot using the normal claw grip while employing the middle finger. The professional only managed to achieve 109,000 points with an accuracy of 80%.
