summit1g, real name Jaryd Russell Lazar, is an American streamer and former professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player with 6.4M+ Twitch followers and 305K YouTube subscribers. His profile in our streamers directory covers his competitive background, streaming career and platforms.
Who Is summit1g
Jaryd Russell Lazar, known online as summit1g, was born on April 23, 1987. He is American and is 39 years old as of September 28, 2026, the date of the audience figures used in this profile. His gaming career includes professional CS:GO competition and a streaming history dating back to 2012.
Counter-Strike is part of his professional background, but his streaming catalogue extends beyond that game. His primary games include Sea of Thieves, Grand Theft Auto V, Escape from Tarkov, DayZ, Rust, iRacing and Overwatch, alongside CS:GO. That list spans shooters, survival games, racing and other multiplayer experiences rather than a single-game channel identity.
His Twitch account was created on December 1, 2011. That account creation date is distinct from the 2012 start of his streaming career. Keeping those dates separate distinguishes when the account was established from when he began streaming.
Career Highlights
Before his variety-streaming career, summit1g played CS:GO professionally. His career history includes both competitive Counter-Strike and broadcasting, with streaming beginning in 2012. These are separate parts of his background; the streaming start date should not be treated as a retirement date from professional play.
Two follower milestones mark his Twitch growth. In 2017, he surpassed Syndicate’s follower count. In 2018, he surpassed Riot Games to become the most-followed Twitch channel. The latter is a historical achievement, not a statement that he continues to hold that position today.
His evolution into variety streaming brought games beyond Counter-Strike into his broadcasts. Sea of Thieves and Grand Theft Auto V sit alongside Escape from Tarkov, DayZ and Rust in his primary-game list. iRacing and Overwatch further broaden that selection. These titles describe his wider streaming repertoire, not a promise about what will appear on any particular broadcast.

How Much Does summit1g Earn
The supplied sources do not establish summit1g’s earnings, so this profile does not give an income estimate, salary or net-worth figure. His follower count and YouTube subscriber total do not provide enough information to calculate how much he earns.
Typical revenue streams for top-tier streamers include paid subscriptions, advertising, viewer donations and sponsorships. These describe general ways a streaming business can generate revenue; they do not confirm summit1g’s individual arrangements, payment rates or revenue split.
A Twitch follow is not the same as a paid subscription, and a YouTube subscriber total is not a revenue statement. Without verified financial information, assigning monthly or annual earnings would require speculation. No such calculation is included here.
