Professionals are wasting their talent on Call of Duty and should rather play 4 other shooters

earthpressnews

Twitch streamer and shooter expert Michael “shroud” Grzesiek (29) says he feels sorry when he sees talented shooter players wasting their talent in Call of Duty. You should rather play real shooters. He cites Halo, Valorant, CS:GO and Apex Legends as examples.

Who does shroud cite as an example of wasted talent? In a Twitch stream, shroud spoke primarily about the player Jordan “HusKerrs” Thomas, a 28-year-old content creator for Luminosity who successfully competes in Call of Duty as an e-sports title.

The 27-year-old Huskerrs earned $336,000 in prize money from CoD Warzone (via esportearnings) and was the first pro to break the $100,000 mark.

Twitch streamer shroud says.

I don’t like HusKerrs wasting his talent in CoD because he’s such a great gamer. Honestly, anyone who wastes their talent on CoD makes me sad. This is probably how people feel when they see me playing WoW.

“Any other game would be better than CoD”

What should players play instead? If someone with talent just plays Call of Duty, that’s okay. But anyone who wants to play CoD with ambition for a competitive kick can’t understand shroud:

You can play any other game. Even the damn Halo. Play games with a real e-sports scene like Valorant or Counter-Strike. Shit, even Apex.

A new Call of Duty every year is ruining e-sports, according to experts

That’s the problem with CoD esports? As the site Dotesports points out, the way professionals play Call of Duty is significantly different from the way any regular player plays Call of Duty.

According to Dotesports, the problem is because a new Call of Duty is released every year:

  • In Call of Duty it would often take half a year before ranked modes were even available in the game.
  • Once a meta and a stable map rotation have formed in the current Call of Duty, the next Call of Duty will already be on the market.
  • In addition, CoD would always appear in a weak state and there would be many bugs.

    • In contrast, titles designed for e-sports are more stable and consistent.

    It’s interesting that shroud notes that people don’t understand why, as a “shooter god,” he prefers to play the MMORPG World of Warcraft. This shows that even as a professional gamer, you don’t just do what you’re good at, but also what’s fun:
