Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek, who left the esports scene in April 2018, has made a surprise comeback by joining Sentinels\u2019 Valorant<\/a> roster. This came as a big shock to fans, as many had thought his announcement was a tease.<\/p>\n

“I am back, baby!” Shroud said on Twitch.<\/p>\n

Sentinels also confirmed the news on their official Twitter page, giving esports enthusiasts the confirmation they needed.<\/p>\n

“The legend returns and he\u2019s here to win @shroud joins the Sentinels Valorant roster,” Sentinels tweeted.<\/p>\n

Following the announcement made by Hunter “SicK” Mims that he would be taking\u00a0a prolonged time off work due to health issues<\/a> and would not be completing the rest of the season, the squad was in need of a fifth member. Compared\u00a0to the previous\u00a0year, Sentinels have had a difficult time in the VCT and have thus fallen out on their early opportunities to compete for Champions.<\/p>\n

Shroud last embraced the esport scene by playing for the Cloud9 Counter-Strike<\/a>: Global Offensive team from 2014 to 2017. After that, he left the team\u2019s roster and started streaming, before he completely left the organization.<\/p>\n

Shroud will be making his way onto the ever-growing list of CS: GO players to have made the switch to Valorant. Some of the competitive players who are on this list include Spencer “Hiko” Martin, Adil “ScreaM” Benrlitom, and Tyson “TenZ” Ngo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although Shroud has not competed in professional Valorant besides streaming, reports says the 28-year-old will be playing in the North American Valorant Champions Tour if the team qualifies for the NA LCQ, which is scheduled for August.
