Shroud explains why he\u2019s \u201cdone\u201d with CSGO: \u201cI\u2019m not playing that sh*t\u201d Valve \/ Twitch: ShroudMichael \u2018Shroud\u2019 Grzesiek had a lousy time playing CSGO after encountering a series of problems and explained why he\u2019s \u201cdone\u201d with it and how it \u201cmakes him sad\u201d to see it being run into the ground. Shroud has had a love-hate relationship with CSGO ever since he stopped playing professionally. Despite having some initial concerns about Valorant, it\u2019s won him over to the point where he thinks it will take over CSGO and has even urged professional players to make the switch. At the same time, he thinks CSGO players are \u201cthe best gamers of all time\u201d and likes seeing aspects of the game, including strategies and map designs, make their way into its alleged successor. But when it comes to playing it, it looks like he\u2019s done. Shroud decided to give CSGO a whirl in a recent stream. But the moment he launched the game and tried to stream it, he immediately encountered some problems, starting with a bug that temporarily muted his microphone. Then, he realized that if you want to stream the game, you need to enter a launch option command \u2018-untrusted,\u2019 which inadvertently puts you into lobbies with cheaters. And he wasn\u2019t particularly thrilled about it. \u201cCSGO is definitely not winning over any new players with this mess,\u201d he said. Shroud went on to compare it to Valorant, which \u2014 in his opinion \u2014 handles it much better. \u201cFor real, though that\u2019s a big problem with CSGO. It\u2019s very messy, and it\u2019s so hard to play. Its accessibility is f**king awful.\u201d Unfortunately, that was only the beginning. Things got worse as time went on. It took him a while to find a game, and once he did, it didn\u2019t last long. Not only did a cheater ruin the experience, but the server also lagged into oblivion. And that was the straw that broke the camel\u2019s back. \u201cAll right, I\u2019m done,\u201d he said. You thought Rainbow Six Siege was bad? Get a load of this game called CSGO. I\u2019m not playing that sh*t. I\u2019m not doing it. What did they do to this game, man? What have they done to our boy?\u201d He explained that it \u201churts\u201d and \u201cmakes him so sad\u201d to see \u201csuch a good game get sh*t on by the company behind it.\u201d And he believes the only way Valve will care enough about making it better is if \u201ceveryone stops playing CSGO.\u201d So, if his latest comments are anything to go by, it seems like Shroud\u2019s love-hate relationship with the game he grew up playing is dead and buried \u2013 at least for the time being. Of course, that can easily change, especially if Valve decides to fix some of CSGO\u2019s glaring problems \u2014 many of which have plagued the game for years now \u2014 and make it a more streamlined and accessible experience. Veteran players like Shroud, however, won\u2019t be holding their breath.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
