Stewie2K to grind back to achieve the highest level

He will continue his streaming and will push for more, as grinding in Valorant helped him a lot and now aims to compete in general. He also commented on being away from CS, according to him he never closed the doors and if the ideal time comes then he will get back on it. Grinding CS was his favourite thing and to grind back again, he is ready to do so to compete at the highest level.
A look at Stewie2K’s career
Stewie2K had a great career when it comes to the American CS:GO scenario. He was an absolute force in that region, played for some notable organisations and won the CS:GO Major. In 2019, Stewie2K outperformed while being with Team Liquid but his time with Evil Geniuses was not so good and he failed to get back to his previous form. Soon after releasing he changed his focus on streaming and stepped down from competitive CS:GO. Later, he found his liking in Valorant and began to play the game.
Conclusion
Now with all the focus on streaming, Stewie2K plans on coming back to a competitive scenario as he is a free agent now. Finding a team remains a serious concern now and it is not sure what the player thinks apart from being a streamer. With Counter-Strike 2 on board, many professionals are heading back and the possibility of Stewie2K’s comeback also seems clear.
