Shroud began his career as a professional 'Counter-Strike: Global Offensive' (CS:GO) player before growing into one of the most popular livestreamers in the world. Following Ninja's departure, the only other streamer with more Twitch followers than Shroud was 'Fortnite' player Turner 'Tfue' Tenney. Shroud's move comes nearly three months after Mixer signed Tyler 'Ninja' Blevins, Twitch's former top streamer, to an exclusive deal. Shroud will leave 7 million followers behind on Twitch and start fresh on Mixer. Former competitive gamer Michael 'Shroud' Grzesiek announced an exclusive streaming deal with Mixer earlier today, October 24, and will start streaming at 5 pm PT from /shroud.

The current casting lineup feels like rigor mortis after watching how much hype and enthusiasm those two were able to bring to CS:GO.Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. This scene needs something like Anders/Semmler to cast matches. Obviously, those two are a legendary duo and there are few like them, but damn - I feel like I'm watching golf right now.

Bring in Sean, bring in other pros/ex-IGLs for color, and bigger hype personalities like Anders/Semmler, because it's really a drag to watch without the hype or expert opinion. Riot - We need more hype on the play-by-plays, and more expertise on the color casting. Also a shoutout to the NerdStGamers production - I enjoyed their casting personalities and they've done a great job. This post isn't to hate on the current casting personalities - you guys are all giving it your best and I just want this to be constructive criticism.

Thank you Sean for being an absolute champ. The only color-casting worth noting imo is Sean Gares' - he actually brings out non-obvious ideas and strategies on the fly and it makes the game watchable. Mid-round analysis is rarely below surface level, and the level of game expertise is glaringly low from the color casters. The color casting is usually equally mediocre. The play-by-play casting is just incredibly boring - no hype is ever built, and I feel almost no tension built during big plays. We get to hear the perspective of ex-Pros on the plays being made. In my opinion, people flock to Shroud's stream because his and Just9n's commentary is interesting. This post has nothing to do with shroud's watch parties - it has to do with the poor casting quality of the tournament. If you watched VCT at all, you'll now realize how absolutely boring it is. This is what the casting of VCT could look like. Which was my theory as to why Shroud has been dwarfing the official broadcast.īefore you read this - just watch this clip of Anders and Semmler and Moses. I want to see this scene grow and right now I feel like I'm not being engaged by the tournaments - and from the looks of it, neither are many other people. I just want to stress again that this isn't hate for the casters or anyone involved. EDIT: A lot of comments with good thoughts in here, many of which disagree with me that's totally fine.
