After joining Twitch in November 2012, Shroud eventually became one of the most popular streamers on the platform. In the past 365 days, Shroud recorded 81,389,686 hours watched with an average of 30,248 concurrent viewers. The 25-year-old had 7,069,584 followers on the platform at the time of his departure.

The majority of Shroud’s streaming time in 2019 has been dedicated to World of Warcraft and Apex Legends, but with the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Shroud streamed the new first-person shooter game on Mixer.

What an incredible first stream on @WatchMixer. Mind blown by the support of both mine and Mixers communities. You guys made this such an easy transition, excited for the future! <3
