The major reason behind the rise in popularity of Apex Legends is its exciting battle royale gameplay. With the release of Season 9, a new legend has arrived on the battlefield. A lot of players and streamers are talking about her, and Shroud has also stepped up and stated his opinion. However, it looks like he hasn’t developed quite a liking towards her. Here is Shroud’s opinion on the new legend, Valkyrie.

He is often described as the FPS games legend and most players like to hear his opinion on any FPS games. Naturally, playing Apex Legends is an enjoyable leisure activity, and can be a pleasant alternative for him, other than Valorant. The new Season 9 of Apex Legends has brought a lot of veterans back to the game. The recent season has introduced a new legend and thus many players are returning to try her out. [https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/shroud-twitch-return-stats-1200x675-1.jpg] Apex Legends [https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends] is trying to change the meta with the help of Valkyrie. However, it looks like Shroud has quite an opposite opinion about her. He said,” The new character seems bad. Seems cool but not very useful.” Apparently, Michael doesn’t think of a world where meta character changes. From his perspective, the best characters are always going to be Wattson, Wraith, and Pathfinder. Shroud went on a training mode to try the new character. However, he ended up getting more unsatisfied with the results. Moreover, he didn’t like her passive ability at all. Valkyrie passive ability lets players hover in the air using VTOL jets by holding jump for a short period. Michael described his feeling saying,” OH! That’s gonna be annoying. I don’t think I’m gonna be able to play this character. Oh My God. I’m not playing this character, I’m telling you this right now.” He stuck to his words and never chose the new character in any of the matches he played. He used Lifeline more often and decided to play Arena mode. Michael showed an amazing performance and was able to win most of the matches. In the end, he never used Valkyrie and will probably won’t ever in the future too.

<h2><strong>Shroud 2021: Net worth, sponsors, and streaming setup</strong></h2>
Shroud is one of the most recognizable names from the gaming industry. His father developed and nurtured a love for gaming in him from the age of 5, and he has never looked back since.

Today, Shroud is one of the most loved and respected streamers on the planet.
<h2>Shroud- Counter-Strike Global Offensive career</h2>
The Canadian is a former eSports professional, having concluded a fairly successful career as a Counter-Strike Global Offensive player. After bouncing between a few teams like Exertus, Manajuma, he finally found a home at Cloud9, who acquired Shroud's then team, compLexity Gaming.

Even as a competitive player, Shroud balanced his time between pro gaming and streaming. In April of 2018, he stepped down from his competitive career and turned to streaming full-time. To this day, he remains a rare example of someone who has successfully managed to balance a competitive and streaming career.
<h2>Shroud on Twitch</h2>
You're likely to find him and his loyal followers online most days. What sets him apart from the rest of the players in the business is his nature and personality.

<a href="https://www.twitch.tv/shroud">Shroud</a> was easily one of the most popular and successful streamers on Twitch. He boasts more than 7 million followers on Twitch and consistently pulled in a large number of viewers.

Tune in to his broadcasts and you'll find him playing games like CS: GO, PUBG, Valorant, Apex Legends, World of Warcraft, and Call of Duty: Warzone. Of course, his interests are not limited to just these, but he is partial to them.

Most streamers have to resort to various idiosyncrasies and quirks to attract and keep their viewers entertained. Unlike most, Shroud is a pure gamer; he is all about gaming and it's all he needs to command a horde of loyal die-hard fans.

One good reason behind that is his skill. Since his days as a pro, Shroud has often been labeled the best aimer in gaming. Put any first-person shooter in front of him, and soon, he will master it like few others.
<h2>Mixer Contract</h2>
Testimony to his reputation, you need not look further than the fact that Microsoft-owned Mixer made a targeted effort (and a successful one) to wrench away Shroud from Twitch. What better way to legitimize its new platform than have someone like Shroud on it?

On the financial side, reports suggest his contract with Microsoft runs into tens of millions of dollars. He did only have a fraction of the followers he had on Twitch on Mixer. However, since he is back on Twitch, that is likely solved.
<h2>Shroud net worth in 2021:</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.theloadout.com/streamers/shroud/net-worth-streaming-setup#:~:text=What%20is%20Shroud's%20net%20worth,%2C%20ads%2C%20and%20sponsored%20streams.">theloadout</a>, Shroud's net worth is estimated to be between $6-10 million. It could very well be much higher, depending on his contract with Mixer.
