Lazar launched his Twitch channel, summit1g, in 2012. After retiring from professional esports, he focused full-time on his channel, streaming an array of video games including "CS:GO" and "WarZ." Lazar also streams "Escape from Tarkov," "Sea of Thieves," "Grand Theft Auto V," "Foxhole," "Rust," and "Overwatch," among other games. In 2017, he made news by surpassing Tom "Syndicate" Cassell as the most-followed Twitch streamer, and the year after that, he surpassed Riot Games for the most-followed channel on the platform. Lazar went on to sign a multi-year contract with Twitch to provide content and partnership support.

Honors

Lazar has been recognized with some honors for his esports and streaming careers. In 2017, he won the Esports Industry Award for Streamer of the Year, and in 2023 was nominated for a Streamer Award for Best FPS Streamer.

Personal Life

In 2013, Lazar married his longtime girlfriend Desirae, a fellow Twitch streamer. She often appeared on his livestreams. The two eventually split in mid-2015. Many fans speculated that the separation was caused by disagreements over having kids, as Lazar was known to be strictly against having kids while his wife wished to have a family. This theory earned further validity when Desirae had twin daughters with her new partner in 2018. Lazar went on to date another fellow Twitch streamer, Lilchiipmunk, whose real name is Caroline. She hails from Toronto, Canada, and is known for streaming the multiplayer online battle arena video game "League of Legends."
