Twitch streamer and former CS:GO-pro Mike ‘shroud’ Grzesiek is currently away from the gaming world following his severe scooter accident. The accident was such that he had to undergo surgery on his left elbow.
It was later discovered that the accident was not a minor one when it came into light the professional gamer has another surgery on his way.
Fellow streamer & his housemate Justin ‘Just9n’ Ortiz, explained that shroud is lucky to be alive. He explained that shroud was out riding on his motorized scooter, which Just9n claims tops out at around 55mph – and shroud was going almost max speed at the time.
“He hit the brakes too hard, and he flew over the handle bars about 10 to 12 feet, on to the asphalt. Now, being Mike, he’s looking out for his right arm, he fell on his left arm – all of his weight. He got a bunch of ‘road rash’ from about his hip down to the middle of his thigh, it’s all purple and blue, all fucked up.”
He was also not wearing a helmet at the time, meaning the injuries could have been a lot worse:
“This man could have easily just died, I don’t know if you guys understand the severity of what I’m saying, but he could very literally just not be here with us right now, because of how serious this fall was.”
