Shroud was co-streaming Valorant Champions with Hiko on Twitch when he told the 100 Thieves streamer that Valorant wasn’t a game for boomers, and that Hiko should retire.
Shroud dropped a hot take on Hiko’s career when the 100 Thieves star joined his Valorant Champions Twitch stream, saying that Valorant wasn’t an old man’s game, and that boomers like Hiko need to retire to streaming. Hiko didn’t even take offense, as he agreed with Shroud that older pros had a harder time in Valorant because you needed incredible reflexes to click heads in Valorant.
Hiko then asked Shroud when Shroud would possibly retire from streaming and just walk away and live on the beach, and the Twitch star once again said he couldn’t see himself doing that any time soon. Shroud also admitted that he hadn’t even used aimlab in years, because he stopped caring about improving about 2 years ago, which Hiko pointed out was right around the time Shroud got the bag from Mixer.
Shroud tried to play it off, asking why everyone kept mentioning this mythical bag, as if Mixer hadn’t paid him 10 million when the platform collapsed, but Hiko and the rest of the stream were having none of it. But what do you think about Shroud and Hiko’s take on Valorant boomers? Let us know if you really think it’s a young man’s game in the comments.

i thought loadedgg was that org for pros turned cc, guess not
honestly…why is this even news..?
Imagine calling a 31 year old a boomer 🤦♂️😂
Isn't xqc like a pro turned content creator?
What a shitty thing for shroud to say, at least Hiko is happy!
Hot Take: Valorant has a lower skillcap with more bs in it, that’s why a lot of valorant pros were A tier pros or barely S tier.

hunter is better than the other guy..remove the other guyy
If you perform better than zoomers, doesn't that mean you can still play?
The amount of people in this comment section that haven't heard of the 30 year old boomer meme is actually kind of funny.
Shroud was born 94 that makes him Gen Y aka millennials, The guy he’s talking about is in his 30s also millennial boomers are in their 60s and in between that is Gen X
Reminder that Shroud wasn’t a top tier CSGO pro. Still a pro nonetheless, but I don’t understand why the FPS community holds him in such high regard when EVERYONE has insane aim nowadays
Shroud should take his own advice! dude is garbage
Shroud has to have the worst takes ever
lol Shroud said in a different video that you could play competitively at like 50! 😂 Totally contradicting himself! Sometimes any little thing they say in a 12 hour stream could be taken and ran with. Maybe Shroud secretly wishes that he was still competing. But it didn't go so well recently when he tried. Oh but he was just having fun! Well, so is Hiko! lol 😂👍👽
Shroud's rich!
I don't think he should retire for being a Boomer, I think he should and MOST old/CSGO washed players should just leave so there is space for new talent. 50% if not more of the VAL pro scene is all CS players and I would love to see new talent.
first of i asked a a docter this same question a man that is 35 has a faster response time then a 16 pr 17 teen year old i always found it was wiered that most teams use kids when an adult would be way better this argument is backword and flawed
this whole video is wrong shroud is better then most of these players
boomer meme is stale and cringe
hiko can clap most of the pros
Non story my guy
People need to wake up and realize shroud is one of the most boring content creators out there right now. He’s good at games but his insights on the gaming industry are so bad.
Shroud was kidding guys
Of course it can be repeated, like xQc, Summit, Dr Disrespect, Nick Mercs. They're all former professionals
I know this was a troll on shrouds part. But honestly 31 and retiring? That’s still young for gaming. This isn’t baseball or football or basketball 🤣
Unless your 50+, what slows people down is life, not reaction time. The older you get the more stuff you have going on and to think about. Esports has always leaned younger because it’s difficult to make a living and maintain a normal life, with a few exceptions.
He is just trolling
Aren’t boomers in their late 50’s to early 70’s? Do they mean to say millennial?
mike stopped caring when he could play video games all day and get paid..
