Back in 2014, when Cloud9 had recruited Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek to their Counter-Strike: Global Offensive roster, no one knew how bright his future was going to be. However, almost 7 years down the line, he is a household name in the world of gaming. From leading his team to victory in CS: GO events to becoming one of the top streamers in the world, the man has seen it all, and more.
Shroud quit professional gaming in 2017 and moved to the world of streaming. Even with the change of profession, his success train did not stop. At a point in time, Mike was also the most subscribed streamer on Twitch and still remains one of the top ones.

Following Valve’s FPS game, for a significant amount of time, Mike streamed the once-popular Battle Royale game PUBG. He was one of the biggest PUBG streamers when the game was at its peak. Therefore, they rewarded his influence and efforts with custom skins, cosmetics, and weapon crates.
After the decline of PUBG, Shroud switched to the popular survival game Escape from Trarkov. It remains one of his favorite games to this day. When the popular streamer is bored of Rust, he often switches to EFT. His loyalty inspired the developers to add a custom mask to the game.
