According to Shroud, games like Call of Duty receive much more attention because of the casual nature of the games. On the other hand, tougher games like Apex and Valorant, which are much more hardcore and challenging, receive much less attention. However, he still feels that Valorant is easier compared to other FPS games. This can be backed up by looking at the number of players playing it, which is much more than other FPS games.

However, close to his verdict, he took a second to talk about his previous comments on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. He clarified that he was talking about the downfall of the NA scene in CS: GO and not the game as a whole. He agrees that the game is still very popular, and he doesn’t think it’s dying.

According to Shroud, “CS is literally the god game, the best game ever made, fact! Maybe not CS: GO but CS in general as a series.”
