Tue Jan 21 03:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Twitch Star Shroud Announces Potential Marvel Rivals Esports Team After Successful Livestream
**LOS ANGELES, CA** – Popular Twitch streamer and former Counter-Strike professional Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek has announced his interest in creating a professional esports team dedicated to NetEase Games’ *Marvel Rivals*. The announcement came during a multi-hour livestream alongside fellow streamer xQc, where Shroud showcased his enthusiasm for the third-person shooter.
While playing as Groot, Shroud expressed his belief in the game’s long-term potential, even stating he could see himself playing *Marvel Rivals* “for the rest of his life.” This passion extended to a desire to sponsor a new team or organization, potentially fueled by over $200,000 in donations received during the stream.
Shroud clarified he wouldn’t necessarily be a player on the team himself, but his interest in fostering competitive *Marvel Rivals* is significant, given his previous focus on FPS titles like *CS:GO* and *Valorant*. This marks a departure from his typical game preferences, although he previously praised *Overwatch* as superior to *Marvel Rivals* earlier this year. The move highlights the growing popularity and potential of *Marvel Rivals* within the esports scene.
