Stewie2K

Jacky "Jake" Yip (born January 7, 1998), better known as Stewie2K, is an American streamer and a professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike 2 player. As a member of Cloud9, he became the first North American (along with four of his teammates) to win a Valve-sponsored major in CS:GO.

==Early life== Yip was born on January 7, 1998. Raised in San Francisco, California, he picked up Counter-Strike 1.6 from his older brother, Jason. Yip grew up with his brother and sister. His parents were often on business trips in China. Yip described his parents as "stereotypical Asian parents" who disapproved of video games, wanting him to take up a "common" career such as a lawyer or a doctor. His draw towards video games ultimately created a rift between him and his parents, with Yip recalling his mother believing he was going to be a failure. Her disdain for gaming made Yip feel that his mother had failed him and ultimately drove him out of his own home. At the age of 17, Stewie flew to LA to pursue his own interests in gaming.
