12M followers This guy made huge fanbase after dropping professional CS:GO scene. He had 100-150k viewers consistently when he played CS pugs and PUBG It's not weird at all that when he starts playing CS his viewership starts increasing again...

because people like to watch him? Idk how to take this thread seriously so imma just say 0/8 bait

2023-10-01 02:11

I'm convinced he uses a view bot service, his chat moves way to slow for someone who has 30k viewers

that was 4 years ago, and as I remember he was surfing the pubg hype

He has 30k viewers on stream, almost 11 million followers on Twitch, almost 7 million subscribers on YouTube, and gets hundreds of thousands of views per video. I don’t get why people are surprised.

No, he used reddit way back in the day to blow up his clips. Back in like 2016/17. He’s been a massive streamer for many years now.

#25 honest question

2023-10-01 02:34

still doesn't explain how his chat is so slow, it seems like he is botting viewers to seem more popular than he really is. Compared to someone like Ohnepixel at least who has less average viewers (but they are real)

Every streamer is different. I don’t watch either so I couldn’t speak on their chats, but streamers that actively read and respond to chat, like Mizkif, Tarik, etc. will naturally have more consistent chatters. Streamers like Disguised Toast, etc. who almost completely ignore chat, will have slower chats.

+1 30k viewers but only 5 people in chat very sus

2023-10-01 02:19

It’s crazy how there is a thread about Shroud like every day lol. He’s a massively successful streamer bc he’s good at a lot of games, and is friends with a lot of other big streamers.

2023-10-01 02:19

His aim in FPS is why people watch him. Combined with his connections to other big streamers.

2023-10-01 02:19

not to mention his aim seems way too good at times, and he was trash tier in counter-strike pro lmao

Aim is not everything in CS + a lot of it is dedication to practice this game more than 10h a day and travel 24/7 a lot of people are not up to that

yes but back when he didn't use a viewer botnet and was playing pubg there were very suspicious plays that couldn't be explained solely by "good aim".

He always had good AIM in a LOT of shooters, PUBG and CS are just the big examples

2023-10-01 02:39

NA people mostly, roughly 380 mil ppl, so yes, you can easily get those 30k

2023-10-01 02:24

Because he is a popular streamer. Why so jealous?

2023-10-01 02:25

same reason gaules has thousands of viewers

2 very different scenarios: - gaules has bad aim - gaules is the only brazilian with rights for tournament transmission - gaules can be very funny at times - gaules has a very deep emotional narrative that does connect with his audience. it's cs + self-help + comedy

what shroud got apart from his aim? pretty boring kid overall if you ask me.

I personally don’t find him particularly entertaining, but he is pretty good at almost any game he plays, and is pretty well informed about game mechanics and how to improve, etc. I don’t watch him, but obviously lots of people do.

2023-10-01 02:36

He is better than gaules for sure. At least he doesn’t make the entire childish community to attack other teams when the team he likes lose

I wouldn't know because I like watching real counter-strike and not gaules & friends reality show with counter-strike occasionally as background. But I cannot deny how important he was for the development of the community in the last few years, and I think nobody can. A comparison with shroud is out of place, for many reasons, imo.

2023-10-01 02:34

nah not sponsored cuz his views go up that much only when he streams cs2 or some most waited video game like starfield

2023-10-01 02:59

he's boring and annoying but so are most twitch streamers

2023-10-01 13:51

The dude has insane raw aim mechanics. I'm interested if a new NA team is formed. I'm only interested in how they would stack up against coL or EG though, not the world stage.
