Shroud reveals which game convinced him to start streaming and quit CSGO Twitch \/ shroudMichael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek might be a streaming superstar, but the FPS legend got his start as a Counter-Strike pro. Now, the Twitch powerhouse has revealed how one game in particular helped convince him to switch careers: PUBG. Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek\u2019s impressive FPS resume goes way, way back \u2014 and includes an almost four-year stint as a professional CS:GO player on talented rosters like Manajuma, compLexity, and later Cloud9. Some newer fans might only know him as a top streamer on Twitch, but his deep Counter-Strike roots played a huge part in his rise to FPS fame (even if he doesn\u2019t feel the game is worth his time anymore). Now, the Twitch star has opened up about his exit from the professional CS scene, and even revealed how one title in particular pulled him away from Counter-Strike so much that it helped convince him to quit altogether: PUBG. While streaming on Twitch, Grzesiek ended up on the topic of PUBG, and how he used to be \u201chooked\u201d on it. As the conversation went on, he shared with fans just how much the battle royale phenomenon contributed to his move away from professional Counter-Strike. \u201cBeing hooked on PUBG was a mix of things,\u201d he began before elaborating. \u201cIt was me being on break in Counter-Strike, [and] realizing that \u2018holy f**k, I really just wanna stream,\u2019 so I quit CS.\u201d The Twitch streamer also broke down exactly what it was about PUBG that pulled him in. \u201cThe fun I was having in PUBG was because it was similar to CS, as weird as [that] is. PUBG was very close to Counter-Strike.\u201d \u201c[The games were similar] when it came to ADS [and] shooting mechanics,\u201d he explained. \u201cI enjoyed that a lot, there was a lot to learn like spray patterns and bullet leads, all that s**t.\u201d Before moving on from the topic, shroud also recognized PUBG\u2019s pitfalls, despite the draw it had on him. \u201cThe movement was awful,\u201d he joked with a smile, \u201cPUBG\u2019s movement was always awful, but the gunplay felt good. Real good.\u201d Grzesiek\u2019s final comments will come as no surprise to many fans, as his BR tastes have shifted away from PUBG to other games like Warzone, and Apex Legends in particular. While many fans knew of shroud\u2019s Counter-Strike past and his fondness for PlayerUnknown\u2019s Battlegrounds, the streamer gave a small glimpse into just how influential the groundbreaking (at the time) BR was in his decision to move on from competitive CS and focus on his streaming career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
