@VI I suppose so, lol. But you could also call his mom giving birth to him the butterfly effect. Usually the butterfly effect is reserved for something you wouldn't think is entirely related. A butterfly flapping its wings to create a large gust on the other side of the world. You don't connect a butterfly and gusts or storms, but you do connect showing someone an fps and them finding out they're good at them together. It is just an odd example. No shade, man.
Thanks for featuring me in this vid theScore esports! It's def been a wild ride. Its amazing how one person can bless so many. He's seriously so humble. He reached out to my stream in a way that didn't make it about himself. Nothing was "planned" ahead, as naysayers try to claim, he never tried to gain any promotion off of what he did, any of the "news" following his raid was from outside parties just sharing his awesome gesture. I mean, asking folks to use their prime subs on me, and not himself, is an obvious example that he was doing what he did to be kind, not for promotion.
I agrees shrouds one of the few streamers i enjoy watching its own Something I eventually want to do just play games and make worth while content I enjoy putting out shroud did it and prove you can make it that way
If you have kids, be like Shroud’s dad. Support your kids. Encourage their hobbies. By excited for them. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it or if you think it’s a waste of time- those experiences you, and your kids, will remember forever. Family is everything.
@@muhammedraashid3667 Yeah, becoming a pro gamer is a 1 in 1 million chance for most titles. People who say "support your kids mindlessly" aren't parents, if they actually had kids, they would understand that when you are a parent, and you see your kid going down a path of almost certain failure, your job as a parent is not to encourage their downfall but to impart wisdom upon them to make better choices. For every success story like Shrouds, there are dozens of thousands of stories that go unheard of because the person failed miserably and became poor, homeless, depressed, or woke up to reality and got a real job with stability.
The best thing about shroud that makes him different from others pro/streamer is that he is great at multiple video games. That's pure class and talent.
I mean for kids man, that means the world to them. Kids these days truly look up to some pro-gamers as their heroes. Great to see this kind of stuff honestly.
what did this guy achieved? being mediocre on all his games? lol trash at csgo then moved to pubg without even winning a tournament and his deluded fans think he is the best hahhahah
He was smart to move away from the competitive scene to go full time streaming. Most of us know that being Pro is not easy and there's lots of ups/downs and money isn't always there if you're not winning, but streaming full-time allowed him to enjoy the games he likes to play and make money at the same time without anyone at his throat forcing him to make god plays. Much respect.
Wow. When he was raiding that girl and telling everyone to sub to her to support all her... that was really something. Brought tears to my eyes. Shroud is just a good guy.
Shroud is the best twitch personality because he's so normal. Incredible with a mouse. I love him because he's just your average joe with insane skills.

@@mrlfreak5698 not really . You can start streaming a trending game rn and get a few viewers in a week. Shroud didn't get any viewers in a year for he's only playing cs go before it was popular and twitch was just released
I always had no idea who shroud was, because I don't watch twitch. Just twitch fails on youtube. I did not know he was such a huge streamer, or why people even watched him because he was not really funny or putting on a show. as you said. But After watching videos like this I finally understood. He's imo probably the realest person you could watch in general. Be it twitch, or youtube. He does not have a fake personality like basically all twitch streamers. And for that you Have To Respect The Man Himself.
@@sk8erbyern one thing you need to understand, is that no matter how much you enjoy something, a fake person is still going to be fake. Most people are fake nowadays because it's all about getting people to like you. Same wit lh twitch. They want people to like them, donate, sub, and watch them. Even if they are enjoying themselves, does not mean they are not fake.
It's natural it would appear that way. The video fairly compared two styles and Ninja is the epitome of one of them. Ninja is everything that was stated in the video, but nothing stated was inherently bad and is the reason for his success. Whether or not they're "shots fired" depends on your own value judgements. Ninja thrives on being over-the-top in an oversaturated market. He's a performer for a different audience.
"Figues like Ninja and Dr. Disrespect have never been on the forefront of any major professional esport." This dude really just ignored the many years Ninja played Halo professionally. Shots fired.
something i admire about him is how calm he stays at any point if he wins he loses or hes in a 50 vs 1 he still stays calm and that is something i wish i could do
I've watched a lot of Shroud because of his laid back style, but this video made me appreciate him even more. Dude just did what he wanted to do and didn't let anyone stop him, all while being himself and keeping it humble. Love it.
@@EETDUK best aim. Not best player. EU pros are good for a lot of reasons. The thing about shroud is he can adapt to any game and essentially be in the top 25% of players instantly. So when talking about a variety gamer he has the best aim. Obviously 14 hours a day CSGO pros are going to be better at CSGO but Shroud has the best mechanics when it comes to gaming in general.
Shroud's Dad : Yeah, I wanted him to do gaming and all I just gave him the laptop and let him do whatever he wants! My Dad : What You want the laptop Shut up and study
When you play to much a game like practicing, you loose your magic, you become more calculated and easier to be a target. Shroud got everything what a player dream to get.Genius in one word, Shroud.
Got the video link from a friend. Gave the video a chance as shroud is my favorite streamer, then saw "ohh 23 minutes video thats too long lets just watch the first 5 minutes" and before you know it, i was at 22nd minute mark and didnt want the video to end. You really know how to keep the viewers engaged with that narration and story telling, subbed right away. Keep up the good work
This is what happens when parents supports your passions and dream. EDIT:So many likes, means so many relates, my parents doesnt support my passion so what happened to me? Nothing. But i still love my parents.
only if it's from a young age and only if you actually have talent in it. There's a lot of people who wont be able to reach the pro scene no matter how hard they try, just because they have no talent.
Stories like this always make me bittersweet. Most won't see this and most won't care, this is the internet, I get that. I grew up gaming and loving every second of it, I was well above average, and competed in local halo tournaments, one year I did very well in halo 3 tournaments and got invited to pax west. I thought it was gonna be my time. But I was in high school, my parents were avidly against video games, and refused to let me go, they even got rid of my Xbox because they were upset it was too much of a distraction. These days I game casually and although I'm above average, I'm nowhere at the level I used to be, and nowhere near a competitive level. I'm also too old to ever get into that seen, an I'm going to university and trying to build a career. My dreams of streaming or playing games for others are long gone. None of this is to say I would've made it big, or been a great streamer, but I wish I had gotten the opportunity to try. Most likely I would've faded out like most wannabe streamers/ hardcore gamers. Watching people like shroud, is a sweet moment, in fact I need to thank people like Shroud, Ninja, and DrDisrespect. My parents thanks to news coverage and obvious popularity of streaming and gaming have changed their minds. My dad even apologized to be out of the blue after watching news coverage on Ninja. These people broke through barriers that others like me couldn't. What amazing achievements.
Similar to what I went through minus the whole Xbox being taking away. I just went through a lot of family issues and did my best to do well in school to get out. Still currently attending college while working in the medical field for experience towards becoming an RN. In the back of my head tho I still try to do content here and there on twitch and RUclips, but there are a few doubts and scares I have. Things are at a complicated slope for me right now since I still wanna continue but time management due to studies and work makes it difficult. You gotta eat tho at the end of the day. This comment hit hard but good luck on school and hopefully you can somehow make a break through all of your passions.
Bruhv all I can say is never say never the spirit is still in ya somewhere and even if it doesn't manifest in yu in skill it's still there hey you never know you might just raise a prodigy yourself just aim not to be negative towards gaming when your kids present the idea of gaming to you you know the passion.... Why not pass it on and embrace it with your future kids?
@@catwithadagger7936 Thats not even slightly true i just switched to pc 3 days ago and i played good off the bat (i dont play amazing granted i just started but ive got multiple 20 kill games on CS which i think aint a bad start and it 100% isnt "sucking ass)
first time i seen this guy, i must say its great to see someone with heart. i am now a big fan. stay humble and continue to use your platform to help others and allow us to see the FPS god entertain.
True, but his point was that Shroud didn't play Fortnite to sell out, he stuck with the game he liked. Right now, he likes BO4, and it runs a lot better like a week after release than PUBG does over a year after plus however long it was early access
@@danialhaikal6519 Ninja respects shroud but they both have their own styles and their own fanbases. Neither one needs to be like the other. Ninja probably wishes he had Shroud's aim, though.
I respect Shroud helps streamers who don't get noticed, like he said he streamed for a year with no viewers, and if it wasn't for csgo who knows if he ever would of, its easy to lose motivation of years of nothing.
Nothing, the guy is a genuinely good person. Thats rare. Thats why he's my favorite, that and why would you aspire to be like anyone else in ESL? He is the best.
The people that dislike shroud , dislike him for the actions he did with c9 and the pro circuit. He chose streaming over the pro circuits, he never proved his stripes against the other people on his level(consecutively), and when CS was too hard for him to keep up the effortless number 1 look, he resulted to streaming where you'd see him killing a whole bunch of casuals, rather than pros. in CS community, that just makes you a Professional amateur.
This guy seriously bring tears in my eyes I don't know why but I haven't seen such a neutral guy in my life and when it comes to gaming it requires a great patience and look at this guy so friendly

Kid: MOM, GET THE CAMERA!! GET THE CAMERA, MOM
I was literally reading this comment while it played in the video 😂✌️
Been watching him since 2014: game talented, humble personality, nice and polite; insane aim skill. Well deserve popularity Mr. Shroud. Respect.
Lol hes averaging 90-110k because of Apex Legends now
So he is now the ninja of Apex hopefully he would stay a simple and respected guy not like ninja .
I'd take Shroud over Ninja all day everyday! Overall better person and has better aim
Apex creator approached him to play this game so that Apex gains some publicity
211.000 yesterday
@@arnavmittal7770 For one day....
God last 2 minutes almost brought a tear to my eye
Dominic Clement I actually did cry when he hosted one of the streamers. All right comment section roast me.
Same dude :'(
Same here
Shroud was good at Apex Legends before it was even released
He’s good at any shooter game before it was released
Because he helped with the development of the game so you sir are correct lol.
I thiNk as a CS:GO pro..he can be extremely good at any other shooter game
It's basically futuristic PUBG so yea, makes sense
@@gustlightfall In what way did the Apex devs use Shroud? Map design? Play testing?
I love watching this guy's streams. Dude, his alertness level and reaction time are fcuking unbelievable.
His dad is supporting him and don’t blame about playing game
But my parents .... you know what I mean???lol
Because not like shroud, you just a suck at the game dude
you're simply not a prodigy
@@laceration9 thats not why. Stewie 2ks biggest obstacle was his parents. He was a prodigy got no respect from his psrents
@@neonicplays1364 ill assume most players haven't reached very far as theyre writing this but i guess your partially correct.
Well if you are Asian then I know.
I always had no idea who shroud was, because I don't watch twitch. Just twitch fails on youtube. I did not know he was such a huge streamer, or why people even watched him because he was not really funny or putting on a show. as you said. But After watching videos like this I finally understood. He's imo probably the realest person you could watch in general. Be it twitch, or youtube. He does not have a fake personality like basically all twitch streamers. And for that you Have To Respect The Man Himself.
He also does this because he wants to. He plays these games because he is enjoying it. He doesn't have a fake aura because of this
@@sk8erbyern one thing you need to understand, is that no matter how much you enjoy something, a fake person is still going to be fake. Most people are fake nowadays because it's all about getting people to like you. Same wit lh twitch. They want people to like them, donate, sub, and watch them. Even if they are enjoying themselves, does not mean they are not fake.
IKR
Not EVERY streamr ik wat u mean tho
Man a lot of shots fired at Ninja in this video 😂😂
I’m not a huge ninja fan but this guys really getting his rocks off on shitting on him lol.
It's natural it would appear that way. The video fairly compared two styles and Ninja is the epitome of one of them. Ninja is everything that was stated in the video, but nothing stated was inherently bad and is the reason for his success. Whether or not they're "shots fired" depends on your own value judgements. Ninja thrives on being over-the-top in an oversaturated market. He's a performer for a different audience.
Lol duh he was in his shadow for the longest now that apex is out he’s now getting the videos he always wanted😂
With fame comes hate lol
"Figues like Ninja and Dr. Disrespect have never been on the forefront of any major professional esport." This dude really just ignored the many years Ninja played Halo professionally. Shots fired.
Who’s here after Shroud revealed he’s coming back to Twitch?
Me lol
I am in 2020
I'm here at least twice a month since this video was made.
2021 , but idk about that news.
Im here to watch this video because i save this video on my watch later list last year.
something i admire about him is how calm he stays at any point if he wins he loses or hes in a 50 vs 1 he still stays calm and that is something i wish i could do
That's the secret for play a lot better
I've watched a lot of Shroud because of his laid back style, but this video made me appreciate him even more. Dude just did what he wanted to do and didn't let anyone stop him, all while being himself and keeping it humble. Love it.
Searched for this Video 4 hours ago😂 now they released it.
19:51 i'm literally in tears
For me shroud is the guy the with the best aim ever in the world
Raph_R6 its Stewie2k he has the best aim
he is the living aimbot
SCREAM
@@cooldudescoring4454 shroud destroyed stewie in csgo already, lol.
@@EETDUK best aim. Not best player. EU pros are good for a lot of reasons. The thing about shroud is he can adapt to any game and essentially be in the top 25% of players instantly. So when talking about a variety gamer he has the best aim. Obviously 14 hours a day CSGO pros are going to be better at CSGO but Shroud has the best mechanics when it comes to gaming in general.
I think he's the one that people called "People's Champ" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shroud's Dad : Yeah, I wanted him to do gaming and all I just gave him the laptop and let him do whatever he wants!
My Dad : What You want the laptop Shut up and study
Move out lol
Amen XD
His dad understand that gaming is not bad
Same here bro my father says why to waste money on games
is his dad from russia or somthing !!
When you play to much a game like practicing, you loose your magic, you become more calculated and easier to be a target. Shroud got everything what a player dream to get.Genius in one word, Shroud.
I require a translator please
@@timewagon1991 Don't try it will be worst. lol
Shroud doesn't need pubg, pubg needs players like shroud.
Radheshyam ur right dude
Radheshyam true
Agreed and pubg banned him I think pubg team gone mad
@@aakashmeel9158 LMAO ur a month late bro he's unbanned and he got banned for 1 week because he teamed up with a hacker in solo
Average Noob XD I know man but pubg banned him many times
I am just waiting for this video
Awesome video
Thescore esports is the best
Love your work
i know, Thescore esports are so god damn OP and friendly, ty!!!!
Got the video link from a friend. Gave the video a chance as shroud is my favorite streamer, then saw "ohh 23 minutes video thats too long lets just watch the first 5 minutes" and before you know it, i was at 22nd minute mark and didnt want the video to end.
You really know how to keep the viewers engaged with that narration and story telling, subbed right away. Keep up the good work
20 minutes on one topic is too much? jesus
Is there a video of his reaction?
Excevious I think someone told him to watch this on stream but he refuse and say it's too weird to watch himself
I got goosebumps reading this😂
Sooo true tho
i was thinking the same thing, thats so lame lol
All I can say is, he had an amazing father.
True .😭
This is what happens when parents supports your passions and dream.
EDIT:So many likes, means so many relates, my parents doesnt support my passion so what happened to me? Nothing. But i still love my parents.
cool momma you god damn rigth...
only if it's from a young age and only if you actually have talent in it. There's a lot of people who wont be able to reach the pro scene no matter how hard they try, just because they have no talent.
Soko Moko hard work beats talent
Stew is the exact opposite
Can't relate XD
Stories like this always make me bittersweet. Most won't see this and most won't care, this is the internet, I get that.
I grew up gaming and loving every second of it, I was well above average, and competed in local halo tournaments, one year I did very well in halo 3 tournaments and got invited to pax west. I thought it was gonna be my time. But I was in high school, my parents were avidly against video games, and refused to let me go, they even got rid of my Xbox because they were upset it was too much of a distraction.
These days I game casually and although I'm above average, I'm nowhere at the level I used to be, and nowhere near a competitive level. I'm also too old to ever get into that seen, an I'm going to university and trying to build a career. My dreams of streaming or playing games for others are long gone.
None of this is to say I would've made it big, or been a great streamer, but I wish I had gotten the opportunity to try. Most likely I would've faded out like most wannabe streamers/ hardcore gamers.
Watching people like shroud, is a sweet moment, in fact I need to thank people like Shroud, Ninja, and DrDisrespect. My parents thanks to news coverage and obvious popularity of streaming and gaming have changed their minds. My dad even apologized to be out of the blue after watching news coverage on Ninja.
These people broke through barriers that others like me couldn't. What amazing achievements.
I have almost the exact same life story :(
I can feel you man! We all want to do something but the constant pressure of responsibilities or something else decides our future for us.
dr disrespect started it lately give it a try
Similar to what I went through minus the whole Xbox being taking away. I just went through a lot of family issues and did my best to do well in school to get out. Still currently attending college while working in the medical field for experience towards becoming an RN. In the back of my head tho I still try to do content here and there on twitch and RUclips, but there are a few doubts and scares I have. Things are at a complicated slope for me right now since I still wanna continue but time management due to studies and work makes it difficult. You gotta eat tho at the end of the day. This comment hit hard but good luck on school and hopefully you can somehow make a break through all of your passions.
Bruhv all I can say is never say never the spirit is still in ya somewhere and even if it doesn't manifest in yu in skill it's still there hey you never know you might just raise a prodigy yourself just aim not to be negative towards gaming when your kids present the idea of gaming to you you know the passion.... Why not pass it on and embrace it with your future kids?
Man, his Dad must be so proud of him.
Sandwich he is.. if watch n0thing's vlog, almost every tournament "papa shroud" is there watching shroud play
13:54 who else noticed the csgo jiggle peaks lol?
He Literally said “A little counter strike action baby” 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ you dumb?
@@javierescuella731 why you so mad over a comment😂😂😂
did i just become a fan after watching this.. i think so
lol
years back :-Shroud best aimer in North America
2019:- shroud best aimer in the world
Mouse and keyboard aren't as impressive as controller gamers 😒 yeah I fking said it
@@vaguestvestige mouse is actually harder to aim because pc versions dont incluye aim assist
@@wavesz imo its easier since you're the one who's in control of the movement
@@graze1177 give a console player a mouse and keyboard and they'll suck ass.
@@catwithadagger7936 Thats not even slightly true i just switched to pc 3 days ago and i played good off the bat (i dont play amazing granted i just started but ive got multiple 20 kill games on CS which i think aint a bad start and it 100% isnt "sucking ass)
15:41 anyone cry with him?
Pilica to think how far this dudes come now, holy shit
first time i seen this guy, i must say its great to see someone with heart. i am now a big fan. stay humble and continue to use your platform to help others and allow us to see the FPS god entertain.
I am only who is crying after watched this video ?
Tricknology no i actually shedded some tears too man i was so moved with his success and his personality
Yes
Idk why I did but i did
No man me too like he is a real inspiration for alot of ppl

Shroud's dad is the coolest dad ever...
Yep
Me:can I get a High spec pc.I completed my exam with A+
DAD:Fast get a good grade in exam. -_-
Nah i saw a dad who helps his son to cheat in exam
my dad be like no gaming laptop laptop for school what should i do with a 300 dollar i3 with 4gb
Shroud is dad wym
Narrator : Shroud is loyal to PUBG.
Me : NOT anymore
MiNdCaZt Ackerman so true but when he switched to R6 I was so excited I have played the game for ever
@@0hkie And has already won 4 tournaments in 21 days of BO4 release
It sucks to admit that PUBG has more lag than that Fortnite shit. The company should fix it, if they actually care.
Sadly😩
True, but his point was that Shroud didn't play Fortnite to sell out, he stuck with the game he liked. Right now, he likes BO4, and it runs a lot better like a week after release than PUBG does over a year after plus however long it was early access
“The king of reddit” is probably the worst title anyone could have on a real person

do you think he still knows the guy that gifted him csgo
He said one of his friends gifted him csgo... So ya he still know him
cool name he might have forgotten? It’s been so long
Shroud is the guy that makes insane flicks and aims but still manages too be extremely calm
Shroud > Ninja ♥️♥️
Rohan GADABALLI no doubt
You cant compare a gamer to a entertainer
Pro gamer vs a overhyped fortnite streamer lul
theyre both pro gamers turned streamer i dont see your point
any streamer > ninja
"21:52 - He is not trying to be like Ninja." - PLEASE dont ever be like that doof. The second Shroud starts acting like that clown i am done.
ninja try to be like shroud
@@danialhaikal6519 Ninja respects shroud but they both have their own styles and their own fanbases. Neither one needs to be like the other. Ninja probably wishes he had Shroud's aim, though.
@@haitebodesu ???
@@danialhaikal6519 What do you not get about that?
@@richardfierro2699 ??
I respect Shroud helps streamers who don't get noticed, like he said he streamed for a year with no viewers, and if it wasn't for csgo who knows if he ever would of, its easy to lose motivation of years of nothing.
His aim, his adaptibility till this day is still one of the legendary
Shroud isint the tip of the Ice burg he is the ice burg

Shroud is such a legend and cool awesome video man :]
2:39 i just love the way he took a picture with his son as if he is a random fan and doesn't know him xd, his dad has a good sense of humour
Real question is:
What’s to dislike about Shroud?
Language
real answer would be, shit is common around the globe
Nothing, the guy is a genuinely good person.
Thats rare. Thats why he's my favorite, that and why would you aspire to be like anyone else in ESL? He is the best.
The people that dislike shroud , dislike him for the actions he did with c9 and the pro circuit. He chose streaming over the pro circuits, he never proved his stripes against the other people on his level(consecutively), and when CS was too hard for him to keep up the effortless number 1 look, he resulted to streaming where you'd see him killing a whole bunch of casuals, rather than pros. in CS community, that just makes you a Professional amateur.
@@disconnected9023 exactly, feels bad man. But he is a genuine person tho, thats why people love him and stay loyal
Imagine one day, Shourd's son/daughter realizes that their father was the legend.
This guy seriously bring tears in my eyes I don't know why but I haven't seen such a neutral guy in my life and when it comes to gaming it requires a great patience and look at this guy so friendly
go outside
