The battle for supremacy in the streaming world between Twitch and YouTube Gaming has taken a surprising turn. Recently, two major streamers in DrLupo and TimTheTatman jumped ship to the red platform. This caused a major stir in the community and also grabbed Micheal ‘Shroud ‘ Grzesiek’s attention. Even he made a similar move with Mixer back in the day. However, his deal with Mixer did not last long as Facebook took over the platform. A well-endowed platform like YouTube Gaming definitely won’t face the same situation. The streamer was quizzed about the entry of a massive video-sharing platform in his stream. It seems like it is going to become a serious contender in due time, which does not bode well for Twitch.

He clarified major platforms like Twitch, YouTube, can never die because of the serious backing that they enjoy. Although, it can fall from its pole position with the entrance of new players in the ecosystem. ” No, there’s always going to be someone else to take the spot of the views. It’s not like they’ll, yeah when there’s a transition and somebody moves to another platform, some follow, and some stay. I don’t think there’s, I don’t think there’s such a thing as killing a Twitch. It’s just, Twitch is so big.” “It’s like killing YouTube, like YouTube recording and all the content videos that people like; you can’t kill that. Nothing can come out to kill that and so they can come out to compete it and now, there’s record your videos and upload them to this website instead, but it’s not gonna happen.” Also Read: ‘Today I Announce, I Am Staying With Twitch’- xQc Sheds Light on His Exclusive Deal With Platform [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-today-i-announce-i-am-staying-with-twitch-xqc-sheds-light-on-his-exclusive-deal-with-platform/] [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200821192725/Where-has-Shroud-been-First-tweet-in-a-month-teases-stream-return.jpg] The massive tussle between the two giants of the video content industry will continue. Consequently, it will bring forward astounding transfers like DrLupo and TimTheTatman that will shake up the community. But it simply does not hold enough power to kill either of the platform and the war will simply continue to wage on.

<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.
