Shroud explains why he used to be a \u201cfilthy\u201d stream sniper Mixer star Michael \u2018shroud\u2018 Grzesiek may be known for his god-like FPS skills, but the popular streamer explained why he used to stream snipe back when he was unknown. Shroud is one of the most popular streamers in the world, as thousands tune in to see his shooter skills that are so insane, many call him \u201cthe human aimbot.\u201d However, the Mixer star opened up about his past as a \u201cfilthy\u201d stream sniper, and explained why his motivations led him to meet people like Jaryd \u2018summit1g\u2018 Lazar for the first time. During his December 2 broadcast, shroud\u2019s friend brought up his history of meeting Summit1g by stream sniping him during DayZ years back, which caused the Mixer personality to jokingly exclaim, \u201cYep, I\u2019m a stream sniper. A filthy, filthy sniper!\u201d His partner then pointed out how established broadcasters actually meet friends through stream sniping. \u201cIt\u2019s so funny that it\u2019s actually like a thing for a lot of people, how they met is like stream sniping each other and whatnot,\u201d he said. The former-CSGO pro agreed and stated that stream sniping wasn\u2019t always seen as a negative thing: \u201cYeah, back then, it wasn\u2019t as frowned upon.\u201d Shroud then explained why he thinks stream sniping today is no longer a positive thing. \u201cBut I also think it\u2019s because it wasn\u2019t as bad. The scale of it, you know? The scale of it now is absurd!\u201d He then said his prior intentions were back when stream sniping wasn\u2019t toxic. \u201cYeah, back then I didn\u2019t do it maliciously,\u201d he stated, as both agreed that the action today has become more about harassment. \u201cI just stream sniped to troll or to just try to meet up and see if they wanted to play,\u201d the streamer finished, as he explained how he just wanted to meet new people. Shroud hasn\u2019t been shy in the past about his stream sniping, and revealed before that he actually met popular Twitch star Summit1g years ago in DayZ by doing this. In a 2018 clip he confessed, \u201cwell, me and Summit met when I was stream sniping him in DayZ to be honest, yeah. I stream sniped him in DayZ and that\u2019s how we met.\u201d Although, he explained that his antics were just when they became aware of each other and that they had been re-introduced later on. \u201cThat was just a stream snipe occasion. It was just me. I just ran in as a random dude, and was like \u201chey what\u2019s up boys?\u201d,\u201d he said. According to shroud, it seems stream sniping back in the day had less implications, given it was before it became a tool to harass popular streamers and ruin their matches. The FPS pro shook the industry up in October 2019 when he announced he was leaving his wildly successful Twitch channel behind to stream exclusively with Microsoft\u2019s platform Mixer \u2013 something that\u2019s turned out incredibly well for him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
