Shroud mentioned a few days back on stream that Among Us is very enjoyable with the right set of people. It is definitely one of the most popular games in the world right now. The pandemic has subtly facilitated the popularization of low-end games to offer maximum entertainment. These come as a stress buster. However, Among Us can be quite a stressful game to play. 

In a recent video, Shroud showed his dexterity at deception with some brilliant plays to fool his friends.

The simplicity of the game is one of the primary reasons behind its popularity. There is one significant rule, and that is to not get caught. Similarly, in a voting situation, players need to be remarkably convincing. 

Shroud nailed it with his performance. He played the innocent in a very convincing manner. At the same time, a player as aggressive as Shroud won’t just sit back with zero kills. He killed a few in quick succession, only to arouse curiosity.

The critical aspect here is his timing. Since the game has a 25 second cooldown for Imposters, Shroud had to time each kill right. Likewise, most players tend to lure into the mobility offered by venting. 

It also makes players suspicious, as appearing from random locations would. Shroud maintained his urges with vaulting and displayed some insane plays.
