Playing Career
Shroud started his CS: GO career in 2013, at the age of 19. Since his early days, Shroud showcased some unnatural skills. Very few can come close to Shroud's aim, reflexes, and game sense. With quick thinking and high IQ gameplay, Shroud has outclassed his opponents and changed the outcome of a round multiple times in his career. In 2018, Shroud took an early retirement from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and decided to pursue a career in streaming.
However, he later returned to the competition again, but in other games. In his career, Shroud has played for several multiple teams such as Exertus eSports, Manajuma and Cloud9. However, his time in Cloud9 is the most memorable journey where he won most of his trophies in his CS: GO career.
