Ever since he started his Counter-Strike: Global Offensive career in 2013 with Slow Motion Gaming, Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek has always been in a class of his own. The 26-year-old Canadian became one of the game’s iconic figures, and some may argue that he is still the best pure aimer in the history of CS: GO. Shroud became the self-proclaimed King of CS: GO Reddit with his insane aims and flicks that he recorded in his live streams on Twitch. As one of the best pure aimers of his generation, his knack for posting out of the world clips lead him to receive the title of Undisputed King of Reddit.

In his 4-year tenure with Cloud 9, they were always the favorites to represent North America on the world stage because of their stacked roster that had skilled players like n0thing, Skadoodle, and autimatic. Cloud became the undisputed favorites from North America during its heyday. Against the giants of Europe such as fnatic, Ninjas in Pyjamas and Natus Vincere, Cloud 9 performed at the highest level as an underdog and shocked the world by winning the ESL Pro League Season 4 Finals with a 2-1 win over SK Gaming. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Shroud-1280x720-1.jpg] BECOMING A FULL-TIME TWITCH STREAMER Shroud left the Cloud 9 roster in 2017 to pursue full time streaming on Twitch [https://www.twitch.tv/shroud]. He continued to stream CS: GO on Twitch, but announced his retirement from the competitive scene a year later. He also left Cloud 9 the following year to go solo on his Twitch streaming career. Michael has left his mark on the game with some iconic moments such as the jumping no-scope AWP on Train to the scarcely believable jumping final bullet headshot on Dust to the amazement of everyone. In a league of competitive players like him, he still makes unbelievable plays that shock these 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.
