Shroud shocked the world on July 8 when he revealed he would be making his debut as a member of Sentinels in the Valorant Masters North American Last Chance Qualifier in August. The former CS:GO star has been hard at work grinding the game and playing with his new teammates in preparation for the tournament, and it seems like it\u2019s proving to be a fun challenge. During a recent Twitch stream, Grzesiek compared Counter-Strike to Valorant and why he believes Riot\u2019s FPS is much more challenging than Valve\u2019s. Shroud says Valorant is \u201charder\u201d than CSGO In the early rounds of a match that saw shroud competing alongside Sentinels teammate Tyson \u2018TenZ\u2019 Ngo, the Twitch star commented on some differences between the two games he went pro in. \u201cThis game\u2019s hard. CS:GO looks like a joke compared to this game, I\u2019m telling you,\u201d the Polish-Canadian remarked while his teammate goes down trying to plant the spike. \u201cThere\u2019s no sugarcoating it or anything. It\u2019s just hard.\u201d Shroud went on to hypothesize why Valorant is a more difficult game than CS:GO and considered how skilled players are in both titles. \u201cI wonder if it\u2019s hard because everyone is so good and if everyone is so good because the game is arguably easier,\u201d he pondered. \u201cIt keeps the competition high.\u201d It\u2019s certainly an interesting paradox, given the history Counter-Strike and its legacy as an esport, but if there was ever anyone who could make such a statement, it\u2019s shroud. So far, shroud has shown he\u2019s still one of the best with a recent viral highlight reel triple wall bang play, but there\u2019s no telling how he will perform at the LCQ. Be sure to keep it locked to Dexerto as we wait to see if shroud can help Sentinels punch their ticket to the Valorant Champions in Istanbul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shroud explains why CSGO is a \u201cjoke\u201d compared to Valorant ahead of pro debut Valve\/Sentinels\/Riot GamesSentinels\u2019 newest star, Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek, believes that Valorant is a much harder game than tactical shooter rival CS:GO.
