Jacky "Jake" Yip (born January 7, 1998), better known as Stewie2K, is an American streamer and professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player.
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.
[4] Yip stopped playing Counter-Strike 1.6 for a time in favor of other games such as RuneScape, MapleStory, League of Legends and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
During this time, Yip was falsely accused of cheating by several players, further motivating him to pursue a professional CS:GO career.
Yip played for 2 years with Cloud9 and won several tournaments with the team including ESL Pro League Season 4, DreamHack Open Denver 2017 and iBUYPOWER Masters 2017.
[11] MIBR traded Yip to Team Liquid for Epitácio "TACO" de Melo and head coach Wilton "zews" Prado in December 2018.
[12] In December 2019, Yip became the first North American CS:GO player to earn over $1,000,000 in tournament prize money after finishing runner up to Astralis in the ECS Season 8 Finals.
[17] In July 2022, Yip announced he would be stepping away from competitive Counter-Strike to focus on streaming CS:GO and Valorant for the Evil Geniuses Creator Collective.
