The well-known Twitch streamer Shroud is among the top players in the Blackout mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. But even exceptional players are not machines and are not spared from embarrassing actions.
Since the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the exceptional player and former CS:GO pro Michael ‘Shroud’ Grzesiek has only played Blackout. In this short time, he has repeatedly demonstrated his impressive skills and has even earned the reputation of a human aim-bot. A short sample of his exceptional skills can be seen in this clip:
But now it is clear – even Shroud is just a human.
No way a human aimbot – Even pros are just humans
What happened? Well, Shroud has impressively proven with a beginner’s mistake, followed by an embarrassing death, that even exceptional players like him are not robots or bots, but just ordinary humans who can also make embarrassing mistakes.
Because it was not another top player who cleverly took out the streamer with a powerful weapon or by using cool perks. He did not heroically fall in battle against overwhelming opposition either. Shroud fell victim to his own vehicle like a bloody beginner due to a moment of inattention.
How did the vehicle kill him? As he sped through the terrain on his quad, Shroud spotted a group of players and immediately jumped off his vehicle to shoot at the opponents. What he completely neglected in his eagerness for easy kills was the fact that he was driving uphill with his quad when he jumped off.
After he managed to hit the first shots, he suddenly took unexplained damage and was pushed down the slope. Before he could even react, he had to his utter dismay embarrassingly realize that he was run over by his own quad as it rolled back down the hill after his jump.
“Oh my God, are you kidding me? I’m thinking, what the heck is hitting me?! Did I really just die like that?” you can still hear Shroud saying.
So the next time you watch in awe with your mouth open as Shroud or any other top player seemingly accomplishes the impossible, just remember: they are also just ordinary humans who can make embarrassing mistakes and beginner mistakes too. And be more careful when jumping off a vehicle on a slope.
