Just the other day, Nadeshot and CouRage did a podcast with DrLupo on The CouRage and Nadeshot Show. Talking about the current eSports streaming scenario. They discussed several things but specifically shed focus on Shroud and Ninja and how their career has taken off. Two of the most prominent names of the gaming community, dubbed as the poster boys of eSports.

“How many viewers do you think Shroud and Ninja would have if they were streaming on Twitch and not on mixer right now?”, this was the basic premise of the discussion. Nadeshot’s question spiraled into a conversation that revealed the difference between making money and loving what you do. DrLupo being the guest, started off the conversation.

“His stream would be exploding right now.” 

DrLupo started with the most straightforward point. If Shroud were on Twitch right now, his stream would be exploding. Streaming Valorant closed-beta is all the rage right now on Twitch. Valorant’s closed-beta is all the rage in eSports right now. “At Mixer, he has about 14k or something like that today”, it is true, but considering Mixer is relatively new, that’s a good number. CouRage says, “at the end of the day, we all have our reasons for the decisions we made.” He went on to summarize that we can play ‘what ifs,’ but at the same time, Ninja and Shroud are doing okay for themselves. Nadeshot raises a valid point, “with inflation and these streaming contracts; I was too far ahead of the curve.”

“Having the same level of exposure that you used to have, and you know that you cannot participate, it is like you’re in fucking prison.” Nadeshot unequivocally says, “What I would say to Tyler and Shroud, the money is worth it, man.” At the end of the day, it is all about grinding, “the money that they are making now is generational wealth.”

The truth is, even though we can only speculate about their contracts, Shroud and Ninja have been offered a tremendous amount of money. No one would leave behind a golden viewership standard unless the profit was substantial. It is definitely going to set up the following generation of these two. “They are going to be able to take care of their family, their kids, their kid’s kids. I don’t know how long, just to make this sacrifice.”Nadeshot ended it by saying, “Tyler, Shroud, I promise you, it’s fucking worth it.”
