What happened to Shroud?

So I just watched this clip of him from another game. My God, why is he so toxic over a game? Not everyone is here to become a pro. People have lives outside of online gaming and can come here to just have fun.

Maybe his downfall and biggest project 'Spectre Divide' failing, is affecting his mental health.

He has such a big ego and superiority complex that he feels very entitled to talk about people who have lives outside of online gaming and not dedicate half their life playing online games.

No I completely understand what Shroud is saying.

He’s talking about my Valorant teammates that do nothing but yap and talk about how much money they have. Basically they do everything except try to win the game. These are the games I have to mute all comms.

Then they say, “ItS jUsT a gAMe”. Bitch I’m trying to win the game.

But honestly I fw Shroud on this one

I’ve been like this since CSGO. I queue ranked to improve and win the game, not spend all game yapping like it’s a podcast

i queue ranked for fun. keep your grind to yourself no need to take out your anger on other people if their goals dont align with yours.

That’s fine that you play ranked for fun. Just don’t get mad when I mute all comms and focus on my own play

U know I had the same question, if the guy is so bad how is he in a match with shroud

If you pay attention to the clip the guy was not trolling he was just having a bad game. If someone trolls and throws a game purposely I may too react the same. But saying, ' Being a decent human being, a valued member of society, how do you get by in life being bad at games'. I mean seriously? Like by being a pro he has brought a change to the world and it is a better place. Like hell, his attitude and toxicness are making it worse for people who want to have fun and enjoy.

It's not really surprising to me tbh. He's a privileged kid who really hasn't had to tryhard anything in his life. He's made a living off of having good aim and being boring.

Wouldn't expect him to have much empathy or life experiences, he's really never left his bubble

Seriously. Also, not to forget bitching and criticising every last game he left. He has talked shit about CS, Valo, Overwatch etc. His own game 'Spectre Divide' is a flop copy of Valo.

Yeah tbh exactly, spectre divide is just like a cheap copy of valo but in CS style lol , idk what blud really thought when he made this game like I haven't played it personally and it doesn't look shit but matter of fact is do u really think people will drop CS or Valorant or the COD series games to play this?? Hell no

lol..funny.. But hey, at least FNS has achieved something in Valo. Not run away from it after failing once, unlike Shroud.

I don't understand why he gets so much hype. Yes, he has good mechanical skills but not the best out there.

never really got the shroud hype. bro dropped a whopping 0.89 rating in cs majors, then quit to kill streamsnipers in pubg for four years, played like 2 matches of valorant. he seems a bit boring and his mechanics aren't anything that crazy so i have no clue how he holds 10k average viewers

You're just idolizing a person with no formal education and who has been perpetually been on the internet since 2010 or before. You think he has good takes because he's a pro who had a really bad career with one major win. The same thing with XQC. But whatever, your tastes are your tastes, they're just not tied to logic.

Lol I dont think Shroud ever came close winning a major, in fact he flopped super hard on them with ratings even below 0.90

I feel I need to add a middle-ground here, Yes it is okay to play games for fun and yes it's okay to play games competitively, the disconnect here is that shroud is playing a fairly competitive game imo and he wonders how people enjoy hyper competitive games while playing badly putting it bluntly and just putting it across in a horrific way, I get that too because of valorant comp and etc.

The important thing to remember is that while it's "okay" to enjoy or take a game seriously, Valorant isn't made to be a fun casual game, Swift play or spike rush is meanwhile games like Stardew valley and Detroit become human are games which u should relax and have fun in while u can enjoy or take either seriously, they are made for one purpose or the other.

All in all, Games are what u make them but if u are having fun like sinaatra who never particularly cares when they play ranked, etc your a rare breed and you'll have to understand that not everyone is like you and you'll get criticism, same in the opposite.

Disagree here. Valorant is not meant to be played only competitively. 80% to 90% of the player base must be playing it casually. If you want to be so competitive and look down on others who are not as good as you (tbh Shroud has thousands of hours on every game so no wonder he is good) you can rank queue with a party and not a solo queue.

Also, if your teammates are trolling or are on a boosted account I can understand the frustration. But, if you watch the whole clip that guy literally carried the team and won. Maybe, he just made a dumb mistake, everybody makes mistakes that is how we learn. Instead of giving a piece of advice calling someone a loser, having no dignity, dumpster etc and questioning their lifestyle is just disgraceful.

Half of the things he is saying do not even make sense. He is telling him to go play another game and become better. How will he become better at this game if he does not play? If he is not good enough now does not mean he will remain bad his entire life. Also, saying that he is trying to gatekeep multiplayer games so that he wants only players who are valued members of the gaming community?! I mean really?
