Shroud explains why he isn\u2019t interested in starting an esports org Twitch \/ shroudWhile discussing his motivations for streaming, FPS legend Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek explained why he isn\u2019t looking to create his own esports organization anytime soon \u2014 or ever. Fans of the FPS genre would be hard-pressed to find a more universally praised competitor than Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek, who\u2019s developed a reputation as one of the best FPS players in the genre\u2019s history. The former CS:GO pro turned full-time content creator remains one of the most accomplished competitors across pretty much any title he chooses to play, all while streaming his gameplay to thousands of viewers on Twitch. However, while discussing his streaming career and why he enjoys content creation so much, shroud was quick to shut down any hopes that fans might have that the former Cloud9 superstar might start his own esports org at some point in the future. During a stream on his Twitch channel, shroud was asked if he had any interest in starting his own organization. Unfortunately for that hopeful fan, he was quick to shut down any speculation around his involvement in a future org: \u201cHow about owning a team? Too much work.\u201d He then continued, \u201cYou guys gotta realize, I don\u2019t like work, that\u2019s why I stream. Working sucks. So, if there\u2019s anything that requires some work and some effort, I\u2019m probably not gonna do it.\u201d As some fans began pointing out his job as a content creator, Grzesiek was quick to shut them down as well. \u201cStreaming is work?\u201d he said sarcastically, \u201cNo it\u2019s not f**king work, it\u2019s a goddamn joke. I\u2019m sitting here doing nothing. Literally doing nothing.\u201d When even more viewers pointed to his time as a Counter-Strike pro, shroud pushed back on that notion as well: \u201cI don\u2019t know if you\u2019d call what I did work. I didn\u2019t do too much in CS, I just played. Playing isn\u2019t working. Working is going the extra mile. I don\u2019t think I ever did.\u201d Unlike other massive streamers like Dr Disrespect, who\u2019s in the process of creating his own game studio, it seems that shroud is more than content with his current streaming gig \u2014 and the massive financial boost that came with his re-signing to Twitch in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
