Who is Hiko?
Spencer “Hiko” Martin is a former professional Valorant player and is currently a streamer for 100 Thieves. Hiko rose to fame as a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player for Cloud9 and Team Liquid before switching to Valorant.
The 32-year-old veteran retired from competitive gameplay back in April 2022. He mentioned that he will focus on streaming on Twitch instead.
He was part of the Team Liquid squad that placed second back in the ESL One Cologne 2016. Hiko played alongside Shroud and N0thing in Cloud9’s CS: GO roster.
The CS: GO veteran is famous for his flick shots. He cemented his name as a person with “inhuman reactions” after a 180 flick headshot against Christopher Alesund back in the 2014 ESL Cologne quarter-finals.
His reaction time is still present and is evident with his insane shots in Valorant.

Hiko Valorant Video Settings
Hiko uses a mix of medium and low for his Valorant video graphics settings. This is to ensure that he is hitting more than 144fps or 240fps while playing the game.
In a game like Valorant, framerate is more important than graphics. The better the framerate, the faster you can see your enemies and it will make it easier for you to react.
Hiko also uses a unique resolution at 1680 x 1050 instead of the usual 1920 x 1080. This resolution feels a little stretched but it helps with reaching higher framerates.
