Shroud recently released a video on his YouTube channel, “9 MINUTES OF SHROUD DESTROYING TRASH TALKERS IN VALORANT.” As the name suggests, the video was 9 minutes full of Shroud showcasing his superior FPS skills alongside former 100 Thieves Valorant captain Hiko.
Shroud destroys a former Sentinels member
In the video, Shroud and Hiko matched against a former active Sentinels Valorant team member, Sinatraa. Jay Won, better known as Sinatraa, is a professional Valorant player. He faced a lot of scrutiny last year because of a controversy with his ex-girlfriend, leading to losing his spot on the Sentinels team and a six-month ban from Valorant.
Sinatraa is back in Valorant but still out of Sentinels’ active roster and the competitive scene. He is currently affiliated with the organization as a streamer. In Shroud’s recent video, he played against the Shroud and Miko, calling them “dinosaur roster” and “120 years old.” The former CS: GO pros are two of the oldest players in the esports scene.
But Shroud proved age is just a number, as the 28-year-old dominated Sinatraa, not only in-game but in tash talk too. Moreover, while destroying the former Sentinels member in-game, Shroud was also busy reminiscing about the early days of the CS: GO competitive scene with Hiko. Eventually, Sinatraa also had to agree these ‘dinosaurs’ are still outstanding. He said, “Guys are too good in ranked. Props to them, bro.“
What’s next for this CS: GO legend?
Michael ‘Shroud’ Grzesiek is a legend of the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive competitive scene. He was away from the competitive scene for a long time, but made a return with Valorant. The 28-year-old joined Sentinels Valorant squad, but the return was not dreamlike. He failed to leave a mark in the NA LCQ.
