Michael “shroud” Grzesiek was once one of the most popular and profiled Counter-Strike players in the world. However after retiring from CS:GO back in 2018, the Canadian icon has switched over to the rival FPS shooter Valorant.
In a recent stream on his Twitch channel, shroud discussed the two games where he compared them and their difficulty.
This game [Valorant] is hard. CS:GO looks like a joke compared to Valorant, I’m telling you. There’s no like sugarcoating or anything, it’s just hard. But I wonder if it’s hard because everyone is so good, and if everyone is so good because the game is arguably easier [than CS:GO]. It keeps the competition high, shroud said on stream.
shroud quickly became a fan favorite in the CS:GO community due to his charismatic persona and incredible individual level of the game. He played a major part of the popular Cloud9 roster, which he represented from 2014 to 2018.
Here shroud won prestigious tournaments like ESL Pro League Season 4 and iBUYPOWER Cup. After his retirement from CS:GO, he turned into one of the most popular and successful streamers in the world before joining the professional Valorant team Sentinels earlier this month.
