The final match-up between 100Thieves and Sentinels produced an epic clash. The two teams seemed inseparable in the first two maps, but soon Sentinels upped the pressure and took the series 3-1. This fantastic series produced nail-biting clutches, aces, and exhilarating back and forth that impressed Shroud immensely. The retired professional player was so hyped by the series that he joked about quitting his daily streams in order to turn pro in Valorant.

Shroud was mighty impressed with Ethan’s performance in the game as he showered words of praise. This is where one of his guests and the former professional joked about turning pro once again. However, fans should take this joke lightly.

Will Shroud ever return to professional streaming?

This question comes up time and time again, especially because of statements like this. However, the truth of the matter is straightforward- the streamer has no motivation to return to professional settings. He has already answered the question on multiple occasions, stating that professional games put a lot of stress. Something that the streamer does not enjoy, and he merely wants to create content and stream for his fans.

He took this decision back in 2018, and it has been one of the best career moves. Not only did he earn millions of dollars but also saw his popularity improve exponentially. From being one of the biggest names in the Counter-Strike Global Offensive, he has now become one of the biggest streamers of all time.
