Best of Stewie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqQgOgUmuKE

Stewie has had a long career in CSGO that really started in 2015-12-02 when he joined a team called ‘Splyce.’ During his time in Splyce, Stewie was slowly getting the attention of the CSGO’s player base. However, Splyce wasn’t the team that led Stewie to having as much attention as he does now. His whole career only really started when he got signed to Cloud9 in 2016. He played alongside other great players such as n0thing, shroud, freakazoid and autimatic. Whilst in Cloud9 he quickly made a name for himself as the smoke criminal, for his “online” play style no matter the tournament. Stewie’s playstyle always had you on your toes, simply because you never knew what Stewie was up to.

The last Major that Stewie competed in was in 2018 with Cloud9 where in the Finals they beat FaZe 2:1 and went home with $500,00.

One of his biggest prize winnings was in 2019 where he won against IGS whilst playing for Team Liquid, and the prize pool for that tournament was a whopping $1,000,000
