Clout chasing is not a rare sight in the gaming industry. The latest person to experience this has been Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek. Shroud brought this point up during one of his Twitch streamers but it is unclear who exactly he was talking about.

Shroud was one of the biggest names on Twitch alongside Ninja. They both then made a move to the Microsoft owned Mixer in 2019, much to everyone’s shock. Things weren’t entirely smooth for them as they failed to bring in their followers to the new platform.

Shroud is not a fan of clout chasing

Earlier this year, Mixer shut down and left everyone to wonder where Shroud would go next. He then made a surprise announcement of his Twitch return and things have looked bright for the streamer ever since. His comeback stream even amassed over 500,000 viewers.

Things weren’t always so rosy for the Canadian streamer. While he was at Mixer, he didn’t receive any invites to play Valorant with fellow players and streamers. He recently called out those unnamed Valorant players for not inviting him back and how they all seem to want him now since he is back in the spotlight. “I’m just saying okay, I’m just saying. It’s a little weird that everybody is asking me to play. But when I was on that platform that shall not be named, didn’t get much attention. Hmm… weird, just saying. I’ve been playing this game for how f*****g long, huh? Now you want to play with me? Whatever dude,” he said.

Many believe the players Shroud referred to could include names such as Yassine “Subroza” Taoufik. The former CS: GO pro turned Valorant player could be amongst those that Shroud called out. However, since he didn’t name anyone, it’s hard to say who he had in mind.

Mixer wasn’t a widely viewed platform, and this could be why Shroud wasn’t invited. In addition to this, him leaving Twitch for Mixer brought in some heat back then as well.

Players who want to play with Shroud at the moment are clout chasing, and something he doesn’t approve. Shroud is clear about his approach and that is appreciable.
