Follow Us
Ever since he started his Counter-Strike: Global Offensive career in 2013 with Slow Motion Gaming, Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek has always been in a class of his own. The 26-year-old Canadian became one of the game’s iconic figures, and some may argue that he is still the best pure aimer in the history of CS: GO.
Shroud became the self-proclaimed King of CS: GO Reddit with his insane aims and flicks that he recorded in his live streams on Twitch. As one of the best pure aimers of his generation, his knack for posting out of the world clips lead him to receive the title of Undisputed King of Reddit.

Shroud and CS: GO
Along with future CS: GO greats like Olofmeister, KennyS and many more, Michael continued to carve a legacy of his own. In his 4-year tenure with Cloud 9, they were always the favorites to represent North America on the world stage because of their stacked roster that had skilled players like n0thing, Skadoodle, and autimatic.
Cloud became the undisputed favorites from North America during its heyday. Against the giants of Europe such as fnatic, Ninjas in Pyjamas and Natus Vincere, Cloud 9 performed at the highest level as an underdog and shocked the world by winning the ESL Pro League Season 4 Finals with a 2-1 win over SK Gaming.
