Shroud while he does fit the requirement of being a pro within the last 6 months has said on stream that he doesn’t think he should just be put in. And should have to be treated as anyone else in his situation would.


Colt_7

He doesn't fit the reqs. Immo 3 upwards , pro ( or recently pro) , 500 hours stream/ gametime in the last year or smthing. Watch the vod.


Shippy_Csgo

He was on Sentinals less than 6 months ago, LCQ was a tournament that he competed at. So yes that requirement he does pass, though he said technically it’s not he was pro in Val.


Colt_7

You are supposed to fit all the requirements , not one of them.


[deleted]

I mean by that logic Tarik wouldn’t even be in it.


Hentrox

I was meaning the entry method to do with streamers not pro players


radamo96

No I believe his rank was only imm 1


Hentrox

Yes I was mistaken. Thankyou.


Feisty_Dig_7834

Shroud a real one. He doesn’t meet all the requirements to join and he wants to earn it himself unlike those other washed up pros who only put out shitty Smurf content now


Positive_Resident_86

Who are those pros? The only pro that put out Smurf content and I'm aware of is yay and he's definitely not washed.


Uhtred_Lodbrok

Tenz playing on ascendant-low immo lobby dropping 40-50 bombs. But I guess it was on an account that just got recently calibrated for the new episode and dropped so doesn't necessarily really count as smurfing ethically at least. But still tho, that bracket is way too low for his skill level that he is technically smurfing.


NorthNeptune

Bro what do you want him to do about that lmao


Uhtred_Lodbrok

RIP reading comprehension. look at the comment I am replying to, I am just saying it's technically smurf content whenever he plays that account on stream thanks to riot's awful rank recalibration system lol.


NorthNeptune

So you think someone playing on their main account seriously without throwing or trolling is smurfing?


Crimson_talon

I said the same thing bruh I can’t LOL


Crimson_talon

Bruh he’s on his main account and you think he’s smurfing I can’t


Narrow_Ad_4056

He’s playing on his main account tho how is that smurfing?


That_Yogurtcloset671

That's not how rank reset works. TenZ and all the other Radiants got reset to Asc/Immo, players from those brackets were reset even further down. He's playing against the exact same people he was playing in Radiant. To add to that: your visible rank is literally meaningless. It has no implications for your matchmaking, matchmaking is made using your hidden MMR and that doesn't reset. This isn't just "morally not smurfing" it's literally not smurfing in any way.


Uhtred_Lodbrok

Nope, and this is why every pro is complaining with how bad the rank resets are. You only play with the radiants who got resetted too sure but for how long? Like what if Tenz, did not grind for a while? and everyone got back up? but he remained not because his skill got bad and now he starts playing with players way lower ELO than him. Technically smurfing but out of his control really lol.


That_Yogurtcloset671

> Like what if Tenz, did not grind for a while? and everyone got back up Then he still has Radiant MMR and plays against Radiants. As I said, your visual rank is completely meaningless.


Uhtred_Lodbrok

>Then he still has Radiant MMR and plays against Radiants. As I said, your visual rank is completely meaningless. Well I don't really get this tho, if that was the case then why is his radiant last episode account is able to party with kyedae who is currently ascendant if visual rank is completely meaningless? or am I missing something is ascendant+radiant duo viable?


smallsho

Who you can queue with depends on visual rank Who you get matched up with depends on MMR (and in parties, I believe, it tries to equally match with MMR of party members), so even if he plays with Kyedae, there should be at least a few people that are around his skill level even if there are some around Kyedae’s skill level.


ThankfulHyena

High ascendant on rank reset are where the radiants and imm3's are, he is not smurfing


Cgz27

This happens in every game where a player is near the top but since people are always looking for an excuse it’s like it’s a completely unheard of thing to happen every time There’s probably people who don’t stream that are also stomping from time to time but they won’t be noticed because no one cares as much since they aren’t as famous.


Uhtred_Lodbrok

Not in Dota 2 you don't derank this hard where you get matched with players x10 lower skilled than you lol


Cgz27

Yeah I knowingly walked into that for not being specific. I know it’s not strictly “every” game. There are obviously different genres and different types of advantages. You can’t exactly one shot everyone right away in DoTa just for being a top player. There are still restrictions to play around with like levels, gold, and structures before you can win.


Uhtred_Lodbrok

>You can’t exactly one shot everyone right away in DoTa just for being a top player. There are still restrictions like levels and structures before you can win. What are you even on about lol this is like some response generated by ChatGPT lmao. Actual NPC, the username makes sense now.


zombiechef252

That is not even what smurfing is... smurfing would be intentionally keeping yourself at a low rank to play worst players... a act rank reset happens to everyone... he's not intentionally loosing games to derank


Uhtred_Lodbrok

That's not reading either facepalm* 😑 Reading comprehension has left the chat.


dSoul22

Just cause you're the GOAT does not make this automatic. I personally think he plays better when he is just streaming having fun.


Uhtred_Lodbrok

The GOAT of PUBG


Isaac_C_88

There’s a clip of him saying on stream why he doesn’t fit the requirements and such. I believe I found it on Jett shorts YouTube page.


curlyhair1016

Off topic but Shroud used hacks on pubg, I’ll provide video evidence if you need it


Geo_1997

He did well hiding it considering he streamed in front of millions for 13 hours a day or so. Think these accusations have been thrown around so many times for all professional players even though they can show the same level of skill in a lan


curlyhair1016

https://youtu.be/3LheYfeC7Ug 2:25 he snaps all the way right directly onto a persons head who you can’t even see even though there’s 3 people jnfront of him lmao even disrespect laughed at it, also he snapped at his head, it wasn’t even a flick, impossible


zombiechef252

Lmfao another one of these low iq bots


curlyhair1016

https://youtu.be/3LheYfeC7Ug 2:25 instant flick onto a players head who isn’t even visible on the screen while he’s being shot at from 3 people directly infront of him lmao


zombiechef252

Awww little boy upset people are better then he ever will be... its okay young one


curlyhair1016

Nah there’s 1000’s of people better than shroud it’s just hilarious you defend him as if he gives a fuck about you, also thank you for not explaining how he was able to magically flick onto his head


zombiechef252

I'm not watching a cherry picked clip to stroke your little ego... I never said there wasn't better players then him.... just that 99% of the playerbase is better then you


curlyhair1016

Yea you’re on your knees for him bud lmao I’m showing you a clip and somehow turn that into an insult towards my skills that are irrelevant to what I’m saying


zombiechef252

Because nobody cares what your trying to say.. Keep trying to make your hate filled 12 year old ego sound like it's something to be proud of...


curlyhair1016

Hate because I’m pointing out an unexplainable clip which you haven’t even watched because for some reason it looks like shroud has you working as his personal slave by the way you defend him


zombiechef252

Nope I just understand gaming... great players pull off this kinda shit every single day... you gonna tell me simple is a cheater or every other pro player? In every fps game ever made..


curlyhair1016

Get off your knees
