Shroud returns to CS:GO, gets the worst rank of his career

Former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive pro Shroud made a not-so triumphant return to the game yesterday. The streamer, who retired from the game in 2018 after having played his whole career for Cloud9, played his first matchmade game in weeks, only to achieve what he says is the lowest competitive rank of his life.

Shroud the streamer is best known for playing battle royale games like PUBG and Apex Legends. Last night, however, he played a few games of CS:GO - despite winning, he only made it to the FPS title’s sixth-highest rank, Master Guardian Elite.

Now, from where I’m sitting, that’s no mean feat. Master Guardian Elite is the top rank of the game’s second matchmaking tier, a level far beyond what the vast majority of players will ever reach - after more than 100 hours, I was barely able to claw my way into that tier. Most professional players, however, sit in the game’s top rank, The Global Elite, a full five classes above Shroud, and at a level I've long since abandoned hope of getting anywhere near.
