His audience had requested more Apex Legends, with Shroud finally returning on April 15. It was during that session that he made the comments above (via Dexerto), frustrated by a lack of new content and laggy, ‘slow-mo’ servers. “I’d rather play PUBG, and that’s saying something. PUBG’s in a really good state right now, actually.” Shroud was vindicated when he encountered a slow-mo server in his very next game.
This is a problem for Apex Legends developer Respawn. If you spend much time on Twitch, you probably know Shroud. He’s a former CS:GO pro whose career as a streamer exploded alongside PUBG in 2017. He’s now one of the biggest streamers on the platform – indeed, by certain measures he’s the biggest, sitting proudly at the top of the ‘real’ Twitch sub count board, more than 10,000 subs clear of other giants such as Summit1G, TFue, DrDisrespect, and Ninja.
