As it turns out, he loved the game to such an extent, that he has decided to return to the competitive scene, all for Valorant.
He recently released a statement regarding the same.
Shroud leads a pretty lucrative life as a streamer. So you can only imagine how much of an impact Valorant had on him to want to go back to the rigors of professional gaming.
His former teammate and professional gamer Tyler “Skadoodle” Latham may well have had something to do with it too.
