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 [https://www.twitch.tv/shroud/clip/ColorfulPricklyShrewUnSane]. Many believe the players Shroud referred to could include names such as Yassine “Subroza [https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/Subroza]” Taoufik. The former CS: GO pro turned Valorant [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/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. 

In his recent Twitch stream, Shroud called out clout chasing he saw in Valorant
after his big return to Twitch some weeks ago.

<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.

Shroud Calls Out Clout Chasers on Valorant

Shroud is not a fan of clout chasing
