Shroud reacts to hitting Diamond in Overwatch after only two weeks Shroud, Twitch \/ BlizzardMichael \u2018CS:GO, Apex Legends, and PUBG to the world of Overwatch, hitting diamond rank in the space of just two weeks. While this achievement might take much longer for the average player, it\u2019s fair to say that the Twitch streamer and former professional CS:GO player has proved over a sustained period of time that he\u2019s nowhere near average. Still juggling between Blizzard Entertainment\u2019s title and a few other games, he reached the impressive landmark during his July 31 broadcast, much to the applause of his chat that were following along with the action. \u201cHeyy! POG,\u201d the streamer said after realizing he\u2019d reached diamond. \u201cMy team was insane. Those guys were so good. That was great. The only thing I was trying to do was kill McCree, that\u2019s all I was trying to do.\u201d The achievement means that shroud has entered the fifth bracket of the in-game rankings and is just two more away from becoming an Overwatch Grandmaster, which would be a significant landmark for any player. To get there, though, he\u2019s going to need to his Skill Rating of 3,000 up another thousand or more. Shroud was playing as Widowmaker at the time he jumped up in the game\u2019s rankings, and when armed with one of the game\u2019s most powerful weapons \u2013 the Widow\u2019s Kiss \u2013 he made no mistake in dispatching some of his opponents with ease during some of the matches. As seen in the clip below, he might not land every shot but the ones he does are just seamless. The hero he\u2019s selected really seems to suit his style, unlike Mercy \u2013 a character he has criticized in the past. Whether or not it\u2019s shroud\u2019s intention to jump up a few more ranks in competitive Overwatch or not remains to be seen, but clearly just by playing the game here and there he\u2019s doing pretty well. He has, however, ruled out the possibility of playing the game at a professional level. Fans wouldn\u2019t be shocked to see him become a Grandmaster in the near future \u2013 especially when he\u2019s in this form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
