Family

Although there’s substantial information about ZywOo’s mother on the internet, there’s little to no acknowledgment of his father. A few sources suggest that his parents are separated, while the rest convey that his father expired a while ago. Regardless, his mother, Nathalie Fontaine, remarried another man with who she took care of ZywOo.

In the Los Angeles cs_summit 4 held from 23rd May to 26th May in 2019, his stepfather passed away while ZywOo was amidst a match. Although he was offered the chance to fly back to France with his team, he chose to stay and make his stepfather proud.

Along with Team Vitality, he finished first in the tournament, winning prize money of $64,500. In addition, he won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award with an excellent rating of 1.33.

ZywOo isn’t dating anyone currently. However, in a FACE IT competition held back in August 2021, he was rumored to have broken up on a live stream with his then-girlfriend, Zywouette.

Other Interests

Apart from dedicating most of his time to CS: GO, ZywOo spends his time working out with his teammates to stay healthy and fit. Furthermore, he loves participating in outdoor activities, such as skiing and camping. He can be seen enjoying board games and cooking on his social media handles.

Gaming Origins

ZywOo’s elder brother and cousins introduced him to the world of video games. He began playing video games at the tender age of 7, but his mother allowed him to play for less than an hour every day.

Even when he became a teenager, he wasn’t permitted to have gaming sessions lasting 4 to 5 hours, and neither did his mom let him play at night. Although his family always kept an eye on him, they gradually let go of their resistance and embraced his interests.

Due to his gaming prowess, he started receiving competitive invitations at the young age of 10. Gradually, his mom and grandmother, who he refers to as his “little fan club,” accompanied him to his gaming tournaments. Also, he got his first professional gaming invitation when he was 14-years-old.

Upon receiving an Esports Pro invitation at the age of 16, he was faced with the decision to drop out of school. However, his mom insisted he wait and complete his secondary education before wholly dedicating himself to gaming.

In the early summer of 2018, he went on to complete his baccalaureate and sign his foremost professional gaming contract with Team Vitality. The rest is history!
