Retired CS pro player Shroud announces start-up of his Marvel Rivals esports org
On February 9, retired Counter-Strike player, Michael โShroudโ Grzesiek made a big announcement during his charity stream: the official creation of his Marvel Rivals esports organisation.
Following the confirmation, Shroud revealed plans to build his organisationโs first team. โTo any esports teamโฆsend emails, send messages. We will respond. Letโs start up a Marvel Rivals teamโ, Shroud shared. However, he also mentioned that a name and structure for the organisation are still in the works.
Shroud promised the launch of this project if a $150,000 donation goal would be reached during his stream. The goal was met not long after, with a total of $21,500 donated to St. Jude Childrenโs Research Hospital.
The retired CS player has been a fan of the Marvel-themed game since its release in December 2024 and even featured it in his broadcasts.
His start-up announcement aligns well with the gameโs first major tournament, Marvel Rivals Championship Season 1. The event is set to take place from March 8 to April 6, featuring four regions: China, North America, Europe, and Asia, with a $14,500 prize pool.
