Shroud was in the midst of a game of Apex Legends when he became the unfortunate victim of lag, getting downed by an opponent in the middle of a gunfight due to the game’s latency.
He appeared to have a hard time stomaching the loss, explaining that he hates losing games due to elements outside of his control.

“We literally lost to these guys because of fucking lag!” Shroud shouted, putting his head in his hands. “I’m gonna break something! Holy shit, I hate when stuff isn’t in my control.”
Shroud even left the game out of anger, comparing Apex Legends to earlier battle royale title PUBG, known for its insufferable latency and frame stuttering.
Apex Legends saw massive success upon release, garnering over 10 million downloads in its first week after going live.“I left the game,” he continued. “I can’t play until it’s fixed. This is PUBG all over again, dude.”
Shroud isn’t the only player noticing issues in Apex, either; the game has been rife with reports of crashes and cheaters, with other users experiencing similar, rage-inducing latency.
