Michael "shroud" Grzesiek is the only streamer whose personalized in-game items are featured in five different projects. Over the years, personal content honoring the former professional player has appeared in Counter-Strike, Rust, Rainbow Six Siege, PUBG, and Escape from Tarkov.
In Counter-Strike, shroud received autograph stickers thanks to his performances at majors with Cloud9. His signature appeared in the game during ESL One Cologne 2015, DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca 2015, MLG Columbus 2016, and PGL Major Kraków 2017.
In Rust, a cosmetic item, the Shroud Hoodie, was released in honor of the streamer. In Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft added a charm with shroud's logo as part of the Streamer Charms program. These items could be obtained by subscribing to the corresponding Twitch channel with a linked Ubisoft account.
PUBG received several cosmetic items related to the streamer. The Ghosted set included skins for the AKM and Kar98k, and later the game featured clothing and other items in shroud's style. The Ghosted Crate was released as a limited set, created specifically to honor the content creator.
The fifth project is Escape from Tarkov. The shooter features a Shroud half-mask with the streamer's symbol. The item belongs to the category of in-game items dedicated to well-known community figures.
Thus, shroud's personalized items are featured in five games:
- Counter-Strike — autograph stickers from the majors Cologne 2015, Cluj-Napoca 2015, Columbus 2016, and Kraków 2017;
- Rust — Shroud Hoodie;
- Rainbow Six Siege — charm with shroud's logo;
- PUBG — Ghosted AKM and Kar98k, as well as a jacket, gloves, mask, and other personal items;
- Escape from Tarkov — Shroud half-mask.
shroud ended his professional career in Counter-Strike in 2018 and focused on streaming. In the following years, he regularly switched between competitive shooters and other popular multiplayer games, allowing him to build an audience across multiple gaming communities.
