The star streamer Shroud had a scooter accident and now has to take a break for a while. He reassures his fans: Everything is fine with his gaming arm. His aiming in Apex Legends should still be good.
What kind of accident was that? The popular Twitch streamer Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek has to take a forced break from streaming. He suffered a serious injury to his elbow in a scooter accident, which now needs to be operated on.
As streaming colleague Just9n explains, Shroud was riding a scooter on a street. He then pulled too hard on the front brake and fell over the handlebar of the scooter, hitting the asphalt. However, he did not land on his right (gaming) arm, but on the left one.
In the accident, he seems to have torn a hole in his elbow and a piece of bone has dislodged from the elbow, which now needs to be reattached.
In another clip (via TwitchTV), Just9n explains that Shroud was going way too fast and wasn’t wearing a helmet. The fall could have turned out much worse.
This is what Shroud says about it: After the accident, Shroud spoke up on Twitter. He writes, “No stream today, blame the scooter for that.” Afterwards, fans asked how Shroud was doing and whether his career was in danger.
“Broys, I have an operation on my elbow today. I might be out of action for a while.” Then he adds, “It’s my left arm. Don’t worry, the aiming is still there. The movement might be a bit slower while I recover.
This is what fans feared: Shroud is considered an aiming god, who repeatedly delivers impressive scenes in shooters . Now many viewers were worried that Shroud wouldn’t be able to handle his mouse hand properly anymore, which is used for aiming in shooters on PC. But he seems to have been lucky and only injured his keyboard arm.
