Shroud reveals insane amount of money he spent on CS:GO crates Twitch: shroudMichael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek, ex-CS:GO professional turned Twitch streamer, has disclosed the ridiculous amount of money he has spent on CS:GO loot crates. Counter Strike: Global Offensive was released in 2012, but continues to entertain millions of players worldwide. It currently holds the record for most viewed Twitch event at all time, as over 1.1 million tuned in to watch 2018\u2019s ELEAGUE Boston Major. Shroud experienced considerable success as a professional player, winning the ESL Pro League Season 4 Finals in 2016 with Cloud9, before retiring to stream in 2018. Since then, he has become the most subscribed to Twitch streamer through playing a variety of games, including Apex Legends. However, he is known to still occasionally play CS:GO and, while streaming on May 3, he revealed the vast amount of money he has spent on loot crates. While opening Xanmeer crates in search of a super-rare mount in The Elder Scrolls Online, shroud responded to his chat: \u201c\u2019Does he know that the mount he wants is super rare?\u2019 Listen man, I come from Counter-Strike, you don\u2019t even know about super rare!\u201d \u201cDo you know how much money I\u2019ve given to Gaben, opening up fucking CS:GO crates?\u201d continued shroud. \u201cOver $100,000 I gave that man.\u201d Shroud stating that he gave money to \u201cGaben\u201d is in reference to Gabe Newell, the co-founder of Valve Corporation, the company behind both Steam and CS:GO. He goes by the online nickname \u201cGaben\u201d. \u201cFucking Gaben, little bitch,\u201d jokes shroud. \u201cSorry, I don\u2019t mean it like that, I love you [Gaben]. I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019m just a little angry.\u201d Responding to his own claim of spending $100,000 on CS:GO crates, shroud explained that it could be even more, having given his \u201csoul\u201d \u2013 all for \u201clord Gaben\u201d. Wait u thought this was real? LUL I spent way more on Lord gaben. He has my soul. \u2014 Michael Grzesiek (@shroud) May 4, 2019 While CS:GO is free to play on Steam, in-game loot crates can be purchased via the Steam Marketplace, as players try and acquire rare skins and other cosmetic items. There has even been controversy surrounding the loot crates, as they were banned in Netherlands and Belgium after being classed as gambling. Shroud\u2019s Twitch chat was understandably shocked when he revealed the incredible amount of money he had spent, but with an estimated net worth of $3.9 billion dollars, we\u2019re not sure Gaben needs the money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
