For the past few months, legendary Twitch streamer Shroud has dominated the Valorant streaming scene. The Canadian content creator has made a name for himself in the FPS genre while playing various titles like CS:GO, PUBG and many more. However, in the recent months, he has taken the world of Valorant by storm with his insane plays and commentary during tournaments as well.

Recently, he has developed a liking for the Phantom weapon in the game. His usual primary weapon was always the Vandal. However, he has found a disdain for it after some horrible performances while using it. Even then, it seems like he might be returning to use that weapon again in some matches.
