Some ppl watch too much Shroud. Some even think he's good (hint: he's entertaining, but he's not good; every time I watched him he died alone (although the last time I did watch him was in Blackout, but I doubt anything changed) - would think it was the goal, but from his comments you can understand he didn't even know his teammates were not following (zero map awareness)). A lot of ppl are like him - they think that good aim is enough to win the game and even Moba/RTS veterans often have trouble keeping an eye on the map...
Although often fighting and dying alone IS a conscious choice - that will keep happening until they implement a solo mode + a way to play solo squads (I do that often too, knowing perfectly well where my teammates are and what they are doing).

Most of the pros I watch are like this. I think they feel they are godlike and their teamates are beneath them, and are of no help anyways. I'm not sure. But I would love to see streams of the tournaments in this game. Because I guarantee the pros with the best teamwork are the ones who are going to win more often.

Yeah but what motivation does someone like Shroud have to play this game 'seriously'? Absolutely nothing is on the line, there is no pro scene, there is no esports, there isn't even a ranked ELO system yet. People don't wanna watch slow paced looting and 'tactical' gameplay on a stream, they just want frags and action and funny commentary, that's why the most popular gamer/streamer in the world, Pewdiepie, isn't even that good at gaming, he is average at best, yet is the richest and most popular gamer on Earth.
At the end of the day it doesn't really matter. Streamers just want more viewers and you don't even need to be remotely skilled to achieve that. But to say Shroud isn't good is laughable, are you aware of the dude's esports track record? He's proven himself many times over in R6 and CS.
