So, I was chilling the other day, scrolling through some gaming news, and I stumbled upon this question that got me thinking: “Is Shroud part of OTK?” I mean, Shroud’s a big name in the streaming world, and OTK’s been making waves as an org, so it seemed like a legit question to ask.
First thing I did was hit up the usual spots – you know, the main OTK website, their social media, and all that jazz. I figured if Shroud was part of the crew, it would be plastered all over their official channels, right? I browsed through their “About Us” section, checked out their member list, and even scrolled through their Twitter feed for a while. No sign of Shroud.
Next, I started digging a bit deeper. I thought, maybe there were some old announcements or articles that I missed. I started googling stuff like “Shroud OTK” and “Shroud joins OTK.” That’s when I came across some interesting bits from around 2020, the year OTK was formed. Seems like back then, there were some talks about Shroud not being into joining the org. I found out that OTK was founded on October 11, 2020, by some big streamers like Asmongold, Mizkif, Esfand, and Rich Campbell. It looked like Rich Campbell even talked to some media outlet about how OTK came to be. Apparently, Shroud wasn’t in agreement with some of the organization’s creators at the time.
- There was a post saying Shroud wasn’t keen on joining OTK when it started.
- It looks like there were some different opinions between Shroud and some of the OTK folks.
- Rich Campbell was giving interviews on the background of OTK’s formation.
Some old news
I kept on my search, checking out forums, Reddit threads, and fan pages. I thought, someone out there must have talked about this, right? I found some discussions where people were saying that Shroud was doing his own thing and didn’t really need to join an org to be successful. Others were speculating about the reasons why he didn’t join, but nothing concrete.
After all that digging, I came to the conclusion that Shroud isn’t, and probably never was, a part of OTK. It seems like he’s more of a lone wolf, doing his own streaming thing and building his brand. And honestly, that’s cool too. OTK’s got its own strong roster, and Shroud’s killing it on his own, so it all works out.
It was a fun little investigation, though. Made me realize how much I enjoy piecing together info and figuring things out. Maybe I should do this more often!
