Shroud showcases unbelievable performance in the Mortal Kombat 11 tournament
Twitch recently organized a month-long tournament called The Annihilator Cup. Twitch let 20 of its top creators take part in the tournament where players had to compete against each other among the five of the most popular games on Twitch. Michael Grzesiek, formally known as Shroud, also took part in the tournament.
During the third game of the tournament, Shroud competed against other players in Mortal Kombat 11. Things were going pretty smoothly for him at the start, and all his practice was really paying off. He was competing with the character Sub-Zero and tried using all the combos he could to demolish his opponents.
Shroud won a lot of matches in the tournament; although he was winning back-to-back matches, he never dreamed of reaching the finals. He said to his fellow opponent,” Listen, neither of us are making it to the finals let’s be honest okay.”
Later he faced C9 Keeoh and was completely destroyed by him. C9 Keeoh used Sheeva and used her potential to the maximum extent. Sheeva had become a character infamous for her gimmick that even competitive players have problems dealing with, and Michael was no exception.
Michael supports Lirik in Lirik vs C9 Keeoh match
Micheal supported Lirik after getting completely demolished by C9 Keeoh. He put up a decent fight against Keeoh but was not able to claim a single win against him in the whole tournament.
While watching Lirik fight against Keeoh, he could not control his emotions and he showed his anger at his words, ” Beat his a*s Lirik, BEAT HIS A*S Lirik!!”
C9 Keeoh was defeated by Lirik and placed in the Top 8. He even later apologized to Michael and other opponents for using Sheeva so aggressively.

He said,” I’m not a Mortal Kombat expert and just picked someone that I thought would work. Didn’t expect the reaction I got from a lot of chatters today. I apologized in private as well as gifted some subs to a few of my opponents. Not trying to make any bad impressions.”
Hey guys just want to apologize for the controversy I caused today. I didn't realize how upset people and their communities would get after playing Sheeva.
