After weeks of hype and anticipation, Valve officially revealed Counter-Strike 2 earlier today, along with the release of a limited test that pro players, streamers, and a handful of long-term players had access to.

Shroud, who has a long history with the game as a pro player and streamer, was rightfully one of those people. He reacted positively to some of its new features, particularly the user-interface improvements.

Playing WoW is slowly ‘killing’ Shroud’s popularity on Twitch—and he simply doesn’t carehttps://dotesports.com/wow/news/playing-wow-is-slowly-killing-shrouds-popularity-on-twitch-and-he-simply-doesnt-careThu, 22 Dec 2022 23:46:44 +0000https://dotesports.com/?p=764288Can't stop, won't stop.]]>

Shroud’s World of Warcraft addiction runs deep. The 28-year-old Twitch star has streamed it for almost 1,000 hours throughout his career, and that doesn’t even begin to tell the full story. The problem, however, is it’s not something his fans want to see him play.

The human aimbot, known for his prowess in first-person-shooter games, lost thousands of subscribers streaming WoW Classic in 2019, and whenever he streams Dragonflight, his viewership tanks.

Twitch star Tarik Celik is thrilled to see Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek performing well for Sentinels in the VALORANT NA VCT LCQ, and he believes the move is paying off because they’re using him effectively.

Twitch king Felix “xQc” Lengyel was one of many who tuned in to watch Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek’s pro VALORANT debut for Sentinels at the North America Last Chance Qualifier on Aug. 4, which ended in a loss.

Shroud didn’t seem rusty at all, though. He looked impressive throughout the series and even pulled off some highlight reel moments, which his teammate Tyson “TenZ” Ngo promised he would.

Shroud: VALORANT makes Counter-Strike ‘look like a joke’ with its depth, difficultyhttps://dotesports.com/valorant/news/shroud-valorant-makes-counter-strike-look-like-joke-depth-difficultyTue, 26 Jul 2022 05:51:25 +0000https://dotesports.com/?p=642507The human aimbot has changed his stance.]]>

On the verge of making his professional VALORANT debut for Sentinels four years after retiring from Counter-Strike in 2018, Twitch star Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek has declared the Riot Games shooter is a much harder game to play.

It contradicts the view he’s expressed in the past. In 2020, he said it’s easier because the maps have fewer distractions and a month later said it has a lower skill ceiling.

VALORANT pro Tyson “TenZ” Ngo believes his team, Sentinels, aren’t taking a massive gamble by adding star Twitch streamer Michael “shroud” Grzesiek to their roster because he’s already really good at the game.

The organization announced the shock move on July 8, which was so unexpected that when the former CS:GO pro approached them, they thought he was trolling.

Popular streamer shroud shocked fans when he announced a monumental move to a new streaming service, launching his first Mixer broadcast yesterday—and what a debut it was.

The former CS:GO pro peaked at 78,000 viewers last night while playing Activision’s newest venture, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, according to Lightstream. Shroud’s first day in his “new home” was a great success compared to his Oct. 22 Twitch stream where he peaked at around 55,000 viewers.
