The Story of Shroud: The King of Reddit
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лип 2018
- To be famous in the world of esports, it’s safe to say you need to be able to appreciate a good meme. True superstardom in this world, doesn’t take place in big press conferences, red carpets or glamorous photo shoots.
In esports you’ve got to master the art of Reddit. The combination of being absolutely incredible at your game of choice while simultaneously not taking anything seriously.
Maybe nobody in esports history embodies this more than the King of Reddit himself: Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek
From clutching on the biggest stage with Cloud 9 to the top of the Twitch charts. This is his story.

Shroud's dad is literally the "Are you winning son?" meme
His dad was also a gamer
No i am the real doge
@@therealdoge4760 bruh imagine u teach ur son a game u like and then he goes and becomes a professional at it omegalul
I wish i had like his dad
that kid in PubG "Mom Shroud talked to me!!" put a smile on my face lol
"I streamed probably like a year with one viewer and that was myself"
Damn.
Hit me
that’s me rn 😂
i stream for 4 years with under 20 viewers.... :) sadly im not unicum.
thats how you have to stream
That's inspiring.
shroud's friend gifting him CSGO is the epitome of the butterfly-effect.
YES
the greatest epitome indeed. i wonder if the gifter was given recognition
Lol because it is entirely uncommon for friends to buy eachother cheap games to get them to play with them.
@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.
@VI did you just copy the wiki page😂
His dad is the coolest dad on earth
So true
I don't know i wish i had a dad like shroud’s :( I cant even touch any gadgets for that long :((

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.
But there are a lot of people like shroud but they never become shroud because they don't have what it takes.
@@uncleaungzayyafromburma985 Never hurts to try man.

Not all people succeed in life.
Most of them fail miserably, and no one talks or give a damn about those poor souls
@@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.

He's so lucky that his dad support him playing games
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.
Summit1g is also great at all the games he plays.
@@Samdeman90 but shroud is better at every game that summit play
Also the fact that a majority of his fan base respect his descision to switch games when ever he wants. We're here for the personality mainly hahaha

@David Lawrence Abing or he wanted to play with his friend? I've gifted mine before because they didn't want to spend 20$ the cheap bastards
@@timiverbesselt6613 same to dark souls xD I gifted my friend so we can play
No one still knows who that unknown/unsung hero is to today except Shroud
What a cool dad!
Yeah
Which one, shroud or his dad? ;)
yeah he let shroud sit on his lap and do "whatever"
Jon T yeah his dad saying that sounded kinda sus but he seems cool
My mom's and dad both are like this
Interviewer: "So Shroud tell me, what fps game you good at?"
Shroud: "yes"
All of the above
None
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.
His dad builds computers... what a lucky kid.

He's a streamer who actually enjoys playing games without any stress of being good or bad. He just plays for the hell of it.
Because he's already the best
It helps that he's incredibly good.
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
That's how people respect him so much even he might lost in some of his match in a game
When you are best ,no need to be sad
19:51 i'm literally in tears
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.
Bro I've seen him a million times
*every bloody time i swear he looks different*
steampunk hulk yes omg I literally don’t even know what he looks like
after every day the aimbot program inside him crashes and he's replaced
He does tho
Did you see his new beard
You shoulda seen him rn. He has the beard now.
If there is a zombie apocalypse i'm following this guy
Why the dude wouldn't know wtf to do without a mouse and keyboard
Best comment award goes to this man
When it happens you'd be beside of a guy with an injured arm who's good on gaming
So you'll follow a midget with quite literally zero strength?
He has good aim playing games not real life lol. He'd be a great addition to a group though with the decision making and such.
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.

Very well edited vid I am extremely impressed
Shroud is such a legend and cool awesome video 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.
You're awesome :) Your singing is also incredible
Thank you!
You deserved those subs
I hope he helped you pay your bills and look after your child in the way he hoped. Keep up the work :)
Godbless - From Philippines :)

watchign this in 2020 just under 2 months before this year ends, hits different. been watching shroud for years now
Shroud's backstory was sad specially the one moment he said himself that he was just a support
He was willing to put the team before himself so maybe that had hindered his true potential.Well he lives a very good life with going pro being looked back as a special experience.
Dude everything would fall apart, without a support.
And that made him think what would be better to him. Then PUBG came and the rest is history. Really proud on shroud
I know supports are needed in a team game but man when he said that he's no longer a superstar I felt sad for some reason. They could have rotate the support role in every round that for me I think killed his passion for csgo. You could feel it that he wanted to make big plays but he can't cause he's supporting the team. Anyways it's all good now that we watch shroud happy playing what game he wanted.
@@Kazuma0915 if you cant put the teams success before your ego you shouldnt be a pro i dont think thats what made him lose his passion to compete at all

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.

Stew is the exact opposite
Can't relate XD
wow he literally made his dad proud forsure whata legend
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 UA-cam, 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?

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
When I was just born my Dad was friends with shrouds dad they would hang out my dad always saw him playing games and couple years later he is famous
Why is he a god at every game he plays then? I'd like to see the aimbot that got past vanguard before valorant was even released, let alone all the other early access titles he's streamed.
@@fluffy_rock1920 he doesn’t aimbot you donut
21:36 it's been 2 years but I'm still crying 💗

Shroud is dad wym
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
Watching this always gives me goosebumps
The greatest to ever do it. Pure gamer, with a big heart everyone loves shroud!
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.
