Shroud explains why he refused Nadeshot\u2019s offer to co-own 100 Thieves shroud \/ FlickrPrior to 100 Thieves becoming the esports giants that they are now, it turns out that founder and CEO Matt \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag had offered a chance at co-ownership to Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek, but it was one that he refused, according to the Mixer superstar himself. New information has surfaced indicating that Nadeshot, during the building stages of 100 Thieves, had tried to recruit shroud to be one of the organization\u2019s co-owners, in addition to being the face of their content creation team. When asked about it during one of his recent streams, shroud confirmed that the CEO had indeed made such an inquiry, while also revealing that he had respectfully declined. \u201cAt the beginning of 100 Thieves, before 100 Thieves even existed, Matt reached out to me and he was talking with me and wanted me to be part of the process, part of the upcoming of 100 Thieves,\u201d he said. \u201cHe asked me to be part of the co-ownership and whatnot.\u201d What was the star streamer\u2019s reason for declining? Turns out, it all came down to not wanting to be involved in the important decision-making that comes with being a part of the executive process. \u201cI honestly said \u2018I\u2019m lazy bro, I can\u2019t put in work,’\u201d he said, laughing. \u201cI pretty much told him I don\u2019t want to work because I don\u2019t want to truly give input on any decision, that would be too much work for me.\u201d The former CS:GO pro also revealed that, following his refusal to become a co-owner of 100 Thieves, Nadeshot offered him to be a streamer for the org. However, that too was not something that he wanted to do, because ever since he left Cloud9, shroud hasn\u2019t really looked to \u201ctie himself\u201d to another brand. \u201cObviously, he offered me to just be a streamer and stuff, but I don\u2019t want to be a streamer as part of any org. I don\u2019t want to tie myself to a brand but my own,\u201d he said. While he was unable to successfully recruit shroud, Nadeshot did end up bringing Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff on board as the face of their content creation operation and a key player in the org\u2019s development. Unfortunately, that ended up in a messy divorce years later, in early 2019, as Nick accused Haag of failing to fulfill the promises he\u2019d made early, which reportedly included a 5% stake in the company\u2019s equity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
