![]() ![]() It seemed like a great idea, but it wasn’t a great idea. Obviously, I knew what the fuck I was doing, which wasn’t a great idea. In July 2018, Shroud received a one month ban from PUBG after playing with a hacker. ![]() I’m coming home /6qO2E4m4jy- Michael Grzesiek August 11, 2020 On August 11th, 2020, Shroud announced via his Twitter account that he would be returning to Twitch on an exclusive deal (shown below). The deal effectively ended in June 2020 following Microsoft shutting down Mixer. On Mixer, the streamer accumulated over 340,000 followers within 24 hours, with his first stream on the platform peaking at 78,000 viewers. In the following hours, the news was covered by multiple news outlets, while Mixer reached the top of Twitter trends on the same day. On October 24th, 2019, shroud announced that he will be leaving streaming platform Twitch for its Microsoft-owned competitor Mixer, with the announcement tweet gaining over 29,600 retweets and 179,700 likes in one day (shown below). As of October 24th, 2019, Shroud had over 7 million followers on Twitch. In the following year, shroud remained a full-time Twitch streamer, mainly focusing on games of the battle royale genre such as PUBG, Fortnite and, following its release in February 2019, Apex Legends, becoming the most popular streamer in the latest. In April 2018, Shroud announced his retirement from playing CS:GO professionally, also leaving Cloud9. In August 2017, shroud stepped down from the main Cloud9 lineup but remained a stand-in player for the team while streaming full-time on Twitch. With Cloud9, shroud achieved high competitive results, including podium places at several S-Tier tournaments, including 2nd place at ESL ESEA Pro League Season 1 in July 2015 and 1st place at ESL Pro League Season 4 – Finals. After compLexity Gaming was acquired by Cloud9 on August 1st, 2014, Shroud joined the main roaster as a rifler. After the law expired, proposals were made to renew the ban, including this provision, but have not been successful so far.Īmusingly, during an interview on MSNBC in 2007, Representative Carolyn McCarthy was asked about her gun control legislation and why it prohibited people from purchasing firearms that have barrel shrouds and if she even knew what a barrel shroud was.Shroud started his professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive career in 2013, playing for Exertus, Slow Motion and Manajuma, and joining compLexity Gaming as a stand-in in 2014. The now expired Federal Assault Weapons Ban explicitly included barrel shrouds in its list of features for which a semi-automatic firearm could be banned (if a firearm had two features in the list, it could be banned under this law). If a barrel shroud is simply a covering tube to protect a user from touching a hotter part of the gun, then what's the big deal about them? Well, for a while, barrel shrouds were targets of legislative restrictions in the United States. In general, they are useful to have with weapons that fire rapidly, because the barrel can heat up quite a bit after a few shots in rapid succession. There are many third party component makers that make barrel shrouds for various rifle and shotgun models. Some shotguns also feature barrel shrouds. The curious reader is probably thinking now, "isn't that what the stock of a firearm is designed to do?", Yes, the stock and the receiver do protect the user's hands as well, but they are not considered as barrel shrouds, because they serve other purposes as well, whereas the barrel shroud is a separate component that is screwed on around the barrel and explicitly designed to protect the user's hands (or other body parts) from heat.īarrel shrouds are generally commonly seen with air-cooled machine guns, but they are also optional components for many semi-automatic models. ![]()
