Why did Shroud leave a professional gaming team?

Professional gaming takes a toll on you. Shroud had to commit to his team. He was obliged to go where the team went and was burdened by the actions of the team. In order to relieve the stress he left his professional teams and became a streamer. That way he is free to travel and only has to defend himself.

Moreover, the job is higher paying and is much more relieving as compared to being part of the team. He is happier this way and has acknowledged that he likes to stay free. He uploads live streams of his gaming regularly for his fans.
