Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek, has begun teasing his return after the Mixer shutdown. Like Ninja, Shroud was one of the big streamers that signed an exclusivity deal with Microsoft’s platform after finding success on Twitch. It’s unclear what exactly Grzesiek is teasing, but he has posted two animated kill montages.
Both teases appear to show footage from Valorant, Riot Games’ tactical team shooter. Valorant was one of the many games Grzesiek would stream and has been compared to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which Grzesiek played professionally on Cloud9’s team before retiring to streaming.
Incidentally, Cloud9 responded to the more recent tease, “we are ready.” It is possible that Grzesiek could be joining a professional team for Valorant, but for now we must wait for an official announcement.
