Shroud’s Call of Duty Warzone Setting and Keybinds

Michael Grzesiek, better known as Shroud, is a former competitive CS:GO player for Cloud 9. Since his retirement in 2018, he has turned his hand to regular streaming where he became something of a smash hit due to his calm and collected stream, and exceptional skills in shooting games.

Lots of people watch his stream and want to play like him, feeling a good way to try and replicate his success is to see what they can learn from his settings and keybinds. While this can sometimes be revealing, an important point to note is that players like Shroud has worked incredibly hard, for years, on their skillset. Much of that practice happens in obscurity, so be prepared to put all the work in if you truly want to play like Shroud.
