Jaryd Russell Lazar, a.k.a Summit1g is an American Twitch streamer, YouTube personality and professional gamer who shot to fame playing the first-person shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. While he is now a retired professional CS: GO player, he played for the recreational teams A51 and Team Mythic. Since March 2017, Summit1g has switched to streaming PUBG. Other than specializing in these games, he also frequently streams other games, like Escape from Tarkov, Fortnite, GTA V, Apex Legends, DayZ, PUBG, Valorant, and Sea of Thieves.
Summit1g is one of the most popular Twitch streamer with 3.3+ million followers and counting. His YouTube channel boasts 510K+ subscribers and more than 75 million views. He’s also active on Twitter and Facebook. He has also taken part in gaming tournaments such as Faceit Pro League (FPL) and E-Sports Entertainment Association League (ESEA), among others. He has been nominated for the Teen Choice Award for Choice Gamer and the Shorty Award for Twitch Streamer of the Year as well.
His brother streams as Kite61 and he has three dogs, Abby, Oreo and Ellie.
‘Summit’ randomly popped into his head, while the ‘1G’ is from the name of a club in CS that he was never part of, but he put at the end of his name as a joke. He did so because the name ‘Summit’ was already taken, and he didn’t think that his channel would succeed the way that it has.
Summit1G started gaming as a child, favoring console games such as Joe Montana Football and Final Fantasy over other gaming tech. However, he only really got into serious gaming as a teenager, when he went to stock up on Pokemon cards and saw gamers playing Counter Strike (CS) on PCs there. He immediately tried to download it at home but was unable to play it due to his lagging dial-up internet connection and his computer’s 32mg of RAM. He therefore settled for Team Fortress Classic instead. However, his computer only allowed him to access sniping mode, which is how he slowly developed his sniping skills during the two-hour gaming sessions per day that his parents restricted him to.
After a while, his dad realized that gaming wasn’t negatively affecting his grades, and so decided to buy him a real computer that was powerful enough to support CS. Prior to streaming, he worked as a Call Representative.
summit1G continued gaming as a hobby after work and started streaming CS for fun. He switched to The War Z when it came out and slowly gained followers, until he was eventually given the opportunity to stream full-time with Owned in 2012. He had around 350 viewers at the time, so decided to take the risk, as he hated his job anyway. fortunately for him, almost every game that he chose to stream turned out to be the next popular game on Twitch, so his channel just kept growing. That’s why he attributes much of his personal success to luck over anything he specifically did towards building his channel. He soon started streaming on Twitch as well. He attributes his success to moving on to streaming other games such as The War Z, rather than simply sticking with CS, although remains his favorite game.

‘It’s my opinion that there’s three qualities that make you successful on Twitch. 1) You’re either extremely good at a video game that make people want to watch you because you’re extremely good at it, b) you’re extremely funny and they have a good time watching you because you make them laugh a lot or you’re extremely interactive and you talk with people a bunch and have a community and have conversations and that kind of thing…. First have one of those qualities and when you first get started, don’t think about too much, just have a good time streaming.’
