Shroud Delays Twitch Fragathon Stream Due to Ongoing Wildfires in Los Angeles

Shroud has announced a temporary halt to his Fragathon stream due to the ongoing wildfires affecting Los Angeles. The decision underscores the streamer’s commitment to safety amidst these challenging circumstances.

Initiated on January 4, Shroud’s month-long Twitch subathon aims to raise funds for charity in memory of his father, who succumbed to cancer the previous year. This engaging event capitalizes on Shroud’s legacy as a former professional player in CS:GO and Valorant by financially rewarding “kills” in any game during the broadcast, where each kill equates to a dollar for charity. Additionally, subscriptions and donations contribute to a multiplier effect, further boosting the total raised.

Fragathon: A Charitable Initiative with a Purpose

Upon the culmination of the Fragathon stream, all proceeds are earmarked for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a fitting tribute that is expected to amount to a substantial donation, given Shroud’s prominent follower count and exceptional gaming prowess. Furthermore, Shroud’s impressive setup includes a personal LAN center at his residence, where he has invited fellow gamers to join the cause and enhance the streaming experience.

Shroud took to Twitter to inform his audience: “Putting a quick pause on the Fragathon stream. We lost power and the storm is still really bad. With road closures and fires we need to ensure everyone stays safe, including production and guests. Sorry gamers, we’ll be back as soon as we can!” This communication highlights his dedication to both his fans and the safety of everyone involved.

While the duration of the postponement remains uncertain, Shroud reassured his viewers that they would return to the streams at the earliest opportunity. This sentiment was met with understanding from fans, who offered their support during this difficult time.

Notably, fellow streamer Just9n expressed his disappointment while prioritizing safety, stating, “Such a bummer, but safety is #1, then teamwork.” A fan echoed this sentiment, stating, “Take your time. We all will be here when you’re back.”

Earlier in the day, Shroud shared that the subathon had already raised $100,000 in just four days. Given this momentum, it is evident that the Twitch subathon has the potential to achieve significant milestones once the stream resumes.
