Funny how people are taking his ranked stats and say he's overrated. We all know he wasn't trying his best in those games. Not to mention he was one of the best NA players with some of the best mechanics back in his CS days.

idkbro [#3]"one of the best NA players" not hard lol
"some of the best mechanics back in his CS days." lmao no, mediocre mechcanically nothing special
you should really check out his clips and highlights his mechanics are insane
totneK_kaT_umkaM [#6]He is GREAT, but not the best.
But 100% he's still better than any EU player for sure.

Shroud did beat both scream and s1mple in a 1v1
Edit: nvm he never 1v1 scream

1v1 aim maps are not very skillful, fucking loba beating t1 pros in those, specially when its about pros who all have great aim and most of the duels are coinflips in those type of maps
kylocat [#4]you should really check out his clips and highlights his mechanics are insane
nothing special, cant understand the nostalgia some people feel towards him remembering him as a top mechanical player, he is just average to me, probably just overhyped mechanics because he was one of the biggest streamers in csgo

I am almost certain Shroud LOST the 1v1

1v1 aim maps not skillful my ass.
I'm pretty sure killing the other guy first is called being better
Bat_Chest [#12]I am almost certain Shroud LOST the 1v1
Idk I didn't watch the full stream but I remember shroud being up a few rounds

not really lol, s1mple was streaming 1v1 on aim redline against bombl4 before major and the score was pretty even but you cant really say their rifles are even at all s1mple is 10x times the rifler bombl4 is, this maps most duels you can only see the opponent head and its pretty far distance so its only tapping/burst and sometimes the "lucky" one gets the kill, literally no spraying no anything just praying to click the head a bit faster than the other, that doesnt mean anything mechanically

also juliano beat cadian in aim map lmao, that tells you how much skill those maps require
andrewdamf [#19]shroud is literally an older tenz
dogshit player, hits some good flicks and everyone calls him the "goat of fps games"
Tenz does carry and put up big numbers sometimes while shroud's performance are all red
I think watching shroud play I realized how much of a team orientated player he is. He really plays situation safely and maybe it's due to him being older now. I think the real danger is having shroud and tenz on the same team. I think that shroud playstyle and experience would mold tenz to be more of a deadly player.
Bat_Chest [#12]I am almost certain Shroud LOST the 1v1
Shroud lost to S1mple, but it was much closer than expected. People were meming on the fact that s1mple looked like he was try harding while shroud was just casually playing.

Give him the respect man
He has earned it
“One of the best in NA”
I don’t think you actually watched CS. He was good in 2013-14 and then he didn’t do anything at all and was called a paycheck stealer for years until he retired.
Shroud really didn’t achieve anything from 2015 onwards and often bottomfragged in his team. The entire cs community thought he was better off streaming than being a pro. There’s like 20-30 NA players that did better than him over csgo’s history
kylocat [#20]yea Hiko is good but definitely not shroud level
Tbf hiko did much much more in his cs career than shroud could ever achieve
kylocat [#20]yea Hiko is good but definitely not shroud level
bro wtf are you even saying hiko has achieved more than him in both cs and valorant
hekzy [#37]He's 28 and washed you are ALL absolutely DELUSIONAL. This team is gonna get destroyed, it's a circus, a joke, a clownshow.
this game has an age limit or what ?. let the man play and stop criticizing anything.
Cheers!!
Aladeenn [#44]Clearly you werent around in the CS days
Clearly, I was. He was a shit player that only gained clout because he would stream way more than any other pro and post his flashy clips (that came from pubs) in reddit. Not even pugs, but pubs! He has one tier4 trophy and not a single good performance.
idkbro [#11]nothing special, cant understand the nostalgia some people feel towards him remembering him as a top mechanical player, he is just average to me, probably just overhyped mechanics because he was one of the biggest streamers in csgo
agree to disagree. shroud was great in his prime, and his mechanics are outstanding

finally. Someone that is smart

I don't think anyone remembers this, but shroud actually had a role change. From being a star fragger, to literally be the support player. That would be why his stats didn't look great. And with achievements, IT'S NA CS, they had 1 major win, before that was ChokeQuid, and before that we had C9, 2nd in IEM Berlin if i remember correctly
kapteN [#40]Tbf hiko did much much more in his cs career than shroud could ever achieve
mechanically speaking shroud is much better
Cresp [#51]If shroud was on optic rn they wouldnt be in lowers. All im sayin’
they would not even be in Copenhagen.
bottomfragger30 [#53]they would not even be in Copenhagen.
Nah u just hatin fr. Shroud is the best player to grace valorant and he will single-handedly lift the champions trophy his performance in the tournament will be legendary.

L andrewdamf
didn't read just saw it was you
kylocat [#4]you should really check out his clips and highlights his mechanics are insane
Not even top 10 best NA players in csgo

Actual good take
kapteN [#59]+1 it's clear most of these kids never watched CS
but tenz was also bad in csgo so it doesnt necessarily mean shroud will do badly in valorant i guess

shroud was known for his clips in pubg and cod. without nothing, he wouldn't have won anything. Every American player is hyped about their mechanical skills but they have nothing to show for it, most of the time.

Im p sure every na fan is just joking around shroud doesnt bring a lot to the table, he was decent in na cs and has a lot of experience but a lot of people are just making fun of sentinels obvious clout move. And the sen players all said they wanted shroud probably bc its a cool experience to join up with the most popular cs pro of all time. Shroud will just be average tho as any 5th probably wouldve been.
evvve [#61]but tenz was also bad in csgo so it doesnt necessarily mean shroud will do badly in valorant i guess
He’ll probably be average tier 1 player like kanpeki who just there and does his job somewhat succesfully. So sen isnt going to be doing very well bc they dont have sick tenz and maybe dapr to bail them out now they only have tenz and dapr to play well so they can maybe win a map or match.

exactly
CorpL [#46]agree to disagree. shroud was great in his prime, and his mechanics are outstanding
He had a 0.95 rating against top 20 teams on LAN...
Xplojd [#43]this game has an age limit or what ?. let the man play and stop criticizing anything.
Cheers!!
Exactly, Let him enjoy. he is ready to grind and his fans are excited to watch him play again... stop hating on him dude... He is called washed up, pay stealer and much more just bcoz he wanted to pursue FULL time Streaming and C9 wanted him to stick... Maybe he didnt achieve much in CS in terms of trophies and all, but he was good.. Not underestimating or overestimating him. He is God king of FPS for me.
idkbro [#11]nothing special, cant understand the nostalgia some people feel towards him remembering him as a top mechanical player, he is just average to me, probably just overhyped mechanics because he was one of the biggest streamers in csgo
just like what you said, you are overhyped.
