Michael Grzesiek, or better known professionally as Shroud, is a Polish-Canadian Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Legende turned streamer. He competed professionally for three years in Cloud9 before stepping down to dedicate to full-time streaming. Thanks to his extraordinary skills, Shroud quickly masters new mechanics in the markets and completely dominates every game that he plays, most notably, PlayersUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Many of Shroud's fans are trying to find him in PUBG and play together, but only the lucky ones succeed. And after the introduction of restrictions on the game in some countries, it became almost impossible to play with him. Fortunately, real fans have found a solution in a VPN for PC.
