Shroud argues CoD streamers are \u2018wasting their talent\u2019 with Activision\u2019s FPS Twitch: shroud \/ ActivisionVenerable FPS legend Michael \u2018Shroud\u2019 Grzesiek has argued Call of Duty streamers are \u2018wasting their talent\u2019 by staying loyal to Activision\u2019s FPS franchise. When it comes to leaving a legacy in the FPS genre, few stand atop the mountain quite like shroud. From his accomplishments as a pro Counter-Strike player to his popularity in retirement as a full-time streamer, the FPS veteran has gone from strength to strength. Looking to impart some wisdom upon the release of Modern Warfare 3 (the second one), shroud had some words for the CoD scene\u2019s top streamers. Arguing the juggernaut franchise does little to accommodate its most competitive players, he explained why he\u2019s \u2018saddened\u2019 by those who continue to grind regardless. Especially on the Battle Royale side with Warzone, shroud claimed \u201canyone\u201d still pushing to compete in the space is simply \u2018wasting\u2019 their time. \u201cI hate\u2026 not hate, hate\u2019s a strong word\u2026 I dislike that HusKerrs wastes his talent on CoD,\u201d shroud said during his November 2 Twitch streamer. \u201cIt\u2019s such a bummer, because he\u2019s such a skilled gamer.\u201d While HusKerrs has certainly done alright for himself, currently sat as the fifth highest-earning Warzone player with over $300,000 in total prize winnings, shroud believes the grass would be greener for HusKerrs in virtually any other FPS scene for a player with his skills. Honestly, anyone that wastes their talent on CoD makes me sad,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s probably the same feeling when people watch me play World of Warcraft. They go \u2018Wow, why is he playing World of Warcraft?\u2019 It\u2019s my same feeling when I see really skilled players playing CoD.\u201d On the more casual side, for streamers simply playing to make content and dominate lobbies, shroud admitted \u201cthat makes sense.\u201d However, for those seeking to scratch their competitive itch, doing so in CoD leaves him perplexed. \u201cI mean the people who are competing, the people hunting for that competitive grind, that confuses me. If you\u2019re playing for content or just to roll people, that makes sense. But if you\u2019re playing for that competitive grind, you can play any other game. \u201cI\u2019d say play Halo instead to be honest. More games with a real competitive scene, Valorant, Counter-Strike, Apex.\u201d So even with the release of Modern Warfare 3, and the looming changes to Warzone with its new map and the return of advanced movement systems, shroud doesn\u2019t appear hopeful for the scene\u2019s competitive viability moving forward. For his money, he\u2019d rather see top CoD competitors take their talents elsewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
