Ever since his exit from the competitive scene, fans of Twitch superstar Shroud have always wanted him to return to it. The Canadian streamer made a name for himself while playing on teams like Cloud 9 in the professional scene of popular FPS title, CSGO. Since he became a full-time streamer, Michael has rarely dabbled in competitive play. He had played some CSGO pro matches with former Cloud 9 members like n0thing, Skaoodle as part of Old Guys Club. He has never played in the newly formed Esports scene of Riot Games FPS title, Valorant. However, it seems like it’s all about to change soon.

During the stream of Twitch creator Dicey, fans noticed a plan for the formation of a squad involving Shroud. The team included ShawnBM, and Michael’s former teammates in n0thing and Seangares. Many fans suggested that it will be the arrival of the Old Guys Club [https://www.essentiallysports.com/shroud-planning-to-bring-back-old-guys-club-to-compete-in-na-valorant-vct-open-qualifiers-esports-news/] in Valorant. Since then, fans have known little about this venture, and many thought it wouldn’t be possible. However, Michael confirmed his entry in the NA Challengers tournament while reacting to G2 vs Astralis semi-finals bout during IEM Cologne 2021. Shroud is currently the official streaming partner [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-esl-names-shroud-official-streaming-partner-for-iem-cologne-2021/] for the high-stakes CSGO tournament. “I am playing in the VCT. That will be kind of fun.” Shroud Gets in-game items in 5 different games [https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1054359868.jpg]SAN JOSE, CA – OCTOBER 27: Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek stands onstage prior to the Doritos Bowl 2018 at TwitchCon 2018 in the San Jose Convention Center on October 27, 2018 in San Jose, California. (Photo by Robert Reiners/Getty Images) PLAYERS ON THIS SQUAD Shroud in a later stream explained that he doesn’t have a full squad yet to compete in the tournament. He mentioned that he only had two teammates right now including streamer ShawnBM [https://www.twitch.tv/shawnbm] and his former Cloud 9 teammate in n0thing. He also said that they had a discussion about inviting Tarik as well, but then it never materialized. “Team? I don’t know. It’s just me, Shawn and Jordan. Not Seangares, ShawnBM.” It will be interesting to see how Shroud will fare against some of the best Valorant players in the world. He has become widely popular as one of the best streamers for the game. But, fans are still in the dark about his skills against professional players.

<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.
