Stewie2k – Age, Height, Net Worth, Family Status and Complete Biography

Family

Stewie2k’s parents are business personalities who often conduct professional work in China. His parents never supported his vision of becoming an expert gamer and constantly asked him to prioritize school. Additionally, he has a couple of siblings, a sister and a brother named Jason.

Currently, Stewie2k isn’t dating anyone and is more focused on his gaming career and winning the next major CS: GO tournament.

Other Interests

Apart from dedicating time to CS: GO, Stewie2k loves to watch series and movies on OTT platforms, which means he’s a huge movie geek. He also has a knack for learning new languages. Presently, he spends most of his time playing, competing, and creating gaming content.

Gaming Origins

Stewie2k was introduced to Counter-Strike 1.6 by his elder brother, Jason. He grew up primarily with his siblings, as his parents were usually on business in China. Moreover, he described his parents as “stereotypical Asian parents” who disapproved of gaming as a profession and wanted Stewkie2k to take up a stable career, such as medicine or law.

Ultimately, his inclination toward gaming caused a rift in the bond with his parents and led them to believe that he would turn out to be a failure. Stewiw2k’s mother’s distinct disdain for gaming eventually made him move out and fly to Los Angeles to pursue his gaming career at the age of 17.

For a while, Jacky reduced gaming via Counter-Strike 1.6 to try various games, namely RuneScape, MapleStory, League of Legends, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Nevertheless, he couldn’t find the same solace in the other games and navigated back to CS 1.6 via surf maps and mods. In the summer of 2014, he started playing CS: GO when a friend gifted him a copy, and he instantly got hooked on it.

After playing matchmaking for several months, switching over to Esports Entertainment Association (ESEA), and delivering exceptional performances, he replaced Sean Gares at Cloud9 with Gares’ personal recommendation.
