Its honestly depressing to hear stew shit talk his current org after they basically gave him free reign to setup a good NA team. For all EGs faults, how could they have known stew was gonna throw it all away.
Stewie has to be the perfect example of why a GM for a team returning to CS would be wary of making an NA team. For some people he is the greatest NA player, so just bluntly calling EG moronic for trusting him is insane.
It’s also sad how he shit talks his org even though they decided to keep him on as a content creator to stream both “cs and Val.” I don’t think he’s touched cs yet.
Even after he spat in their face Nicole (EG CEO) graced him with a salary as a content creator...
@@jaythirt2039 if they picked up stew as a pure entry fragger/space creator, i think it may have worked out because you can still see some skill he has left, but his igling and attiude for leadership despite the potential is quite bad, honestly if stew with motivation was on this current eg like instead of hext or something, it may have worked because nealan's cis knowldge can help
@@jaythirt2039 Stewie might be a top NA talent with a tenured career but who tf puts stewie over Elige, NAF, Twistzz, tarik, tim??? I really can’t see a case for Stewie as #1 NA player and I don’t see many people having that opinion anyway

"I dont give a fuck about the company that pays my bills" - Stewie 2022
@@singular9 bro what kind of ridiculous take is this? Stewie and other professional gamers are a massive exception. 99% of us young people work
“I don’t care about EG CS”
Well, they’re doing much better without you.
Ik Stewie is in the wrong here, but are eg really better without him? Haven't seen them at a tier 1 event in months and they bombed out of the challenger stage at the rio major. I guess that is an improvement since they couldn't even make the Antwerp major with Stewie. But its like moving from 5th row to 4th row on an airplane, not really a difference. They were also not present at any of the blast events, and fail to made playoffs at esl pro league season 16.
Well
Crazy how much EG has improved once they got a IGL who actually cares and wants to be there. As someone who as supported Stewie since he came into the scene, he’s gotten hate since he’s came into the scene and turned himself into one of the most successful NA and cs players of all time. But he sabotaged his own career, it’s sad to see. He went out looking out like a dumbass.
So wild that he thinks the issue was the coach having to much power
Yea, he got everything he wanted, he was backed up by his team and effectively caused a mutiny against the coach, then when it failed, somehow it was the coaches fault? Mental
its funny, it show how he is that fucked up in his head, the dude think like an 14 years old kid XDDD
He really stewed over that article
fuckin stewin he was
Get this man a drummer!
Positively STEWIN'
It's good stew. Tastes delicious.
It's stewin' time
It's always funny to see people say " I dont give a sh*t" while getting visibly emotionally angry, that's when you know they give the most sh*t
I wonder if Stewie realizes that Valorant has already been to Iceland twice and Germany three times…
Stewie lost it way before that
never had it :D
@@prawtism he did tho didnt he lol he's not very likable, but has done more in CS than 99.9% of players
@@probablynot879 That's what I meant. Not results or skill, but sanity or common sense. Lost it = went crazy
@@prawtism I get you, egos too strong
He was always like this, lets be honest
30:00 Stewis is basically saying "I dont want to play in a professional sport where the coach decides who plays, I want to get paid to do what I want"
I feel bad. I always liked Stew when he (and I) was younger. It's sad to see whenever people you once looked up to lose their way. For his sake, I hope he realize the bridges he's burned, the friend's that he lost and the path that he chose isn't the right one in the end.
"I don't wanna travel 200+ days a years"
literally the next sentence: "I don't wanna play in the same place / value twice"
Those statements do not work together. If you don't wanna travel all the time fair enough, but then expect to play in the same place every single time with travel being limited to major events / tournaments
I've thought about this a bit and I think it's just poorly phrased frustration at essentially spending hundreds of days at either the one place ESL bothers to send players, or the Liquid training facility. I imagine that was what 2020-21 was like for NA pros, whereas for the beginning years of his career, he had to travel a lot, but to a lot of different places.
i think hes been this way his entire career. he only had the opportunity to show his true colors when things were bad.
NA has a bad history of gatekeeping and washed players staying around too long. But I think there is something to be said about a player like Stewie being given too much too quickly. How would someone not go mad with ego having risen through the ranks of the NA scene as quickly as he did, and so quickly developing an entorage of flatterers and sycophants.
Even early on players like Steel gave him attention publicly reviewing his vods. He's always been a wunderkind.
Strikes me as a player who lead a charmed life ingame and didn't have to deal with teammate's humbling him and putting him in his place early in his career.
Yep, when a prodigy in any field is given too much preferential treatment and coddled to this degree early on, it’s only natural they develop a massive ego and often times that ego can be their downfall as we can see in this case. It’s even worse when their level of play/proficiency begins to falter earlier than expected because that ego of a prodigy/star will still be there while their level of talent can no longer justify their ego.
@@amaricampbell6996 the difference is prodigies like simple, monesy, donk and so on actually bust their ass and keep improving and don't let their egos get in the way of their improvement. They've actually earned being cocky from hard work and insane talent whereas for example shroud just quit thinking he was on top because his friends gassed him up when he doesn't really have any noteworthy achievements in his cs career.
In b4 in a couple of months after Stewie doesn't get hired by any valorant stream he comes out saying: IT'S ALL RICHARD LEWIS FAULT!!!.
Ye, I'm 100% sure Stewies attitude doesn't have anything to do with it... Talk about deflecting man lol. Great video keep up the good work Richard
He doesn’t realize that other orgs will look at his resume and see past employers. Then go ask those past employers what happened when they see that he was let go from these teams. Almost like he doesn’t think about future opportunities when leaving these orgs, which is just gonna continue to limit his future in any esport whether it be Valorant or CSGO
This RMR was almost perfect for the Stew charade to fall... EG qualified, TL qualified.. if only Grim had qualified too..
As a brazilian fan I was torn in having to choose between Imperial and Grim.
Stewie threw Grim under the bus mutiple times while on the same team... Grim still played great on the RMR and I am happy for him!
Think we all know Complexity is the better team and they should have qualified. They started off 2-0 and looked great but you saw where the fatigue took in. They lost quite a few rounds on Overpass they should have won, especially in OT. Either way, I think Imperial making it is a better story than complexity making it even though I wanted COL To win. Brazilian legends returning home for possibly their last major.
@@larry2281 It was a really unfortunate draw for Col, they only lost to #1 NA, #2 Brazil, and 00nation who IMO are themselves top 3 Brazil but just haven't earned the rank yet since picking up Coldzera and Try.
And of course the current #2 BR and (imo actual #2 or #3 BR) both consist of the SK/Luminosity era players, who were trying to qualify for the first ever Brazil major - something that wouldn't even be happening if not for their accomplishments and legacy. Those four wanted this as much, if not more, than anyone else. FalleN has hinted he's retiring after this. Cold said that he isn't even going to the gym anymore due to how hard he's grinding CS.
I love Taco and I'm so glad he made it, even if at Cols expense. I'm happy for all of them :) and the fans... first Rio Major just wouldn't be the same without them. I agree with you 1000% this is a better storyline, to a such a degree that IMO it would've been a tragedy if either Imperial or 00Nation didn't qualify.
Col got unlucky with a very difficult draw, but WP, they delivered some of the best games of all of the RMRs vs 00Nation and Imperial, both were real nail-biters. They'll be back stronger and continue their upwards momentum :)
“Fuck that, delusional” perfect close, love it.
I think the problem is winning a major, can give you an impression you always know better than some other non-major players who are smarter and individually better than you
Exactly thtas when he changed. Liquid entertained his strats for a while but @Blast he promised to let Fallen call the map of inferno but changed his mind causing the refrezh 1 v 5 clutch
@@Anonassassin its not fair blaming the 1v5 on stewie, they all messed up
@@1ukzje facts
I hadn't heard this narrative that Stewie took the reins from FalleN mid match, if it's true I can imagine it for sure messing with the team chemistry and comms and might even be a "bigger" reason as to why they lost the game than that 1v5... and maybe those effects even facilitated the 1v5 happening (terrible to zero teamplay, bad comms), but that's all strictly speculation
what we can all see objectively in that round is that pretty much every player threw lol. The person I feel bad for his Grim, he played the 1v1 out okay, mollied the bomb and got it down to 10 seconds when refreshz was planting. It was a 50/50 and Grim chose not to peek. He could've played it differently and won, but it wasn't really the "wrong" choice
@@Anonassassin stewie has gone out bad and was a dog shit igl imo but the 1v5 had nothing to do with the igl, 5 level 7s on faceit could win that 1v5 90% of the time , that was a world class throw and I’m a TL fan that saw it live, sometimes wild shit happens in csgo and that was an old fashioned hard throw by 4 people (I think grim was alone on a and maybe had less blame idrk)
Surely he recognises he’s a fluke major winner alongside gambit. All other teams who’ve won the major have had success prior/after.
Really well done video, thanks for the breakdown for people who don't follow NA CS that closely
Tarik, Dazed, Brax, Skadoodle, Hiko, Steel, YaY, S1ck. None of these players had articles written about them. This guy should feel lucky someone actually cared enough about his story and his legacy.
Great video Richard! Love the content.
What's the point of keeping him in the org at this point? He says that he doesn't care about your teams and says liquid are so much better at handling things as an org. How can they let him get away with talking like this about his employer on stream?
They have him bang to rights on disparragement, assuming they have the standard clauses you get in most contracts.
His own stream, with their logos on it, would serve as the evidence against him.
I remember stew mentioning at the start of his career that the travel was why he wanted to be a pro cs player.
Dude doesn’t realize that their schedules is no different from professional athletes. Look at baseball, hockey, both footballs, etc. They travel just as much but you don’t see them complaining. They do it because they love it.
Traveling to the same places a lot as well btw haha.
@@larry2281 what I was pointing out was stew upon entering C9 was excited to do a lot of travel. He didn't care about being away from home because he had a rough relationship with his family and thus didn't live at home anyway. Don't know what happened to that guy.
@@trollface9903 egos happened and the rest is history. When you listen to his response, you can tell he can’t think of anything smart to actually says and the stuff he does say just makes him sound dumb.
“I’m tired of going to the same place all the time.”
Imagine if a baseball player said
“I’m tired of going to play at Yankees Stadium all the time. I want something different.” Everyone would think you’re an idiot.
In some fairness, the travel for NA players in the current csgo landscape is brutal. Not really comparable to your typical professional leagues.
@@krzyk101 I know the travel is shitty with the current European bubble. Not denying that, here in NA we used to get 6 events a year. Now we have gotten 1 in the past two years lol. That’s what really killed NA CS.
But their schedules are no different from professional athletes in terms of travel. If you live in NA, you know that it takes 6-8 hours to fly from one coast to the other. If a team from New York travels on the road to play the west. Let’s say it’s 7 hours to fly to California. They play one team. Fly 2-3 hours north to Seattle. Play another team. And then fly another 4 hours to Texas. Play another team. And then fly another 4 hours home to New York. This tends to all be in a span of 9-10 days.
Not a Stewie2k fanboy, but a while ago it did mention having personal issues he had to deal with during the online era (he's not the only one obviously). After Liquid he really didn't have a big range of options on who he could play with and I think he just didn't have the patience/passion to rebuild from the ground up. I would love to see a Richard Lewis interview with Stewie to see them hash things out (seems unlikely, but ya)
If he manages his personal life similar to how he manages his professional life, then no doubt it must be a disaster, so I’m not surprised.
I really hope the discussion with Freakazoid happens! Great video, that whole stream was a gold mine of insight into the scene.
anyone who has played on a team sport knows the term uncoachable i played hockey and their were kids, or my team mates that were known in the community as uncoachable they wouldn't listen to anything a coach would tell them throughout their youth career and its something that is unable to be fixed, some people just aren't built with the ability to be coached or told what to do they believe they know better than the coach or they are told how to play by parents. its a career killer.
Are these clips from a podcast or smth? Would like to have this on while doing some aim prac
the most damning thing for stewie's time in EG is the difference in performance we've seen post-stewie
especially from cerq and brehze
thanks for the content
There is a part of me that wants to believe that the lashing out is because he knows he messed up and let his ego or whatever get in the way of a much longer and more respected end to his career, and i think hes so upset about it. Granted, he is still not completely aware enough to understand that its up to him to not do exactly what he is doing to soil it further. Ive seen this bitterness before in people that squander their life's achievements away. Sometimes it comes out in depression, other times it can break a person mentally, and sometimes its just raw anger and bitterness. Such a sad end to his story.
Started watching your content after the yay interview honestly never watched cs glad i know this now
Need someone like Richard for the chess drama coverage :D
I think what he wanted to say from the comment about his Liquid teammates was that if you asked his Liquid teammates, they would give an overall positive recount of his time in Liquid. He probably thinks his Liquid teammates still think highly of him.
Spot on video from Richard as usual. I remember him always being that arrogant even when he was coming up. When you're winning you get a free pass though.
Stewie2k seems to leave a bad taste in the EG org. I'm really glad Malek was given another opportunity, and I hope stewie is malding over the success EG has just recently had in cs. EG qualified for the major. I'm glad EG is showing success outside of stewie.
Has richard talked about Konfig situation yet?
Stewie is the Antonio Brown of csgo.
Not even close. Brown is a serial sexual assaulter. A better comp would be OBJ pre Rams.
a good comparison
I actually couldn't believe the things he was saying when I was listening these clips. Just sad and unreal.
I think Stewie is leaving behind strong legacy how these young professional players who had zero guidance end their careers because no one guided them at all. People just throw big dollars at young players and they end up being spoiled prats who never become anything.
People clearly tried to help him, inc makes, but his attitude and his narcissism deflected any help.
So he doesn't want to travel as a pro, but get the highest available clout and money still? Someone definitely lost the plot. He should take at least 6 months off the internet and put his life and priorities back together. He seems like the avatar of burnout right now.
Stewie says no tragedy has happened in his career. Bro nobody telling you that you suck as an IGL was a tragedy of its own
Same guy who complained about having to wake up at 10AM to play a videogame, while being paid to do so. The level of delusion and lack of self awareness is off the charts. Dude already began burning bridges and lowering his stock value even *before* joining a Valorant team. 😂
There's a reason you don't go scorched earth on your former employers when you leave a position. It shows your future employers how you are most likely to react in that same situation. Stewie needs to take a break and get his head on straight. It is sad to see the person he has become.
TL;DR
basically stew was self reporting himself on his own stream.
Stewie doesn't want to go to the same place twice? Must be why he never made another major grand final.
Why does NA have such a huge problem with ego? I'm on a team and we had to drop our best player because he was just so incredibly toxic that it was unbearable. And even still there's some toxicity and squabbling over stupid shit. One of the things I hate about America is this "my way or the highway" mentality so many people have.
Perhaps because America is a lot more individualist than some other countries?
@@seungjae7462 Ya I know, and too much individualism leads to narcissism
@@seungjae7462 But you'd think out of the 330 million people in the US you could find 5 good CS players that don't have an ego, apparently it isn't possible.
More like Spewey2k
HES SPEWING!!
Win a major and then a few tournaments with TL and you turn into the Mean Guy, Criminal.
When hes complaining about travel and being in the same venues twice, he sounds like a 12 year old throwing a tantrum hahahah
WON'T BE MISSED
Stewie10am
The most saddening thing about Stewie. Is that is attitude and ego made him exactly like those that tried to keep him out the scene. Unfortunately that has always been an issue with NA esports. Hopefully it changes. But idk
Take a shot every time Stewie says "idungivashit"
3:10 - I hate how easily reddit comments are influenced by the first few people to get there. It's especially obvious on the CSGO sub whenever anything Richard or Thorin have created is posted. If the haters get there first then all the hate comments are upvoted and it's just a really toxic thread in general, if reasonable people get there first then some actual discussion can take place. Reddit is so broken man.
How is it even possible to not travel and not going to the same place twice or more
Coming from a similar background as Stewie, I can understand the mentality. He's told his story about strict parents who condoned videogaming, because at the time, being a videogame pro was just not common and first generational parents will probably want you to get a corporate job. Not having parents that support you and validate what you do has probably made him fully reliant on himself. After winning a major AND a Grand Slam, how could anyone ever tell him what he did was wrong? The ego was on top of the world. Nobody to correct his behaviour.
And now the world has caught up to his mechanical skills, plenty of IGLs that do it way better than him, so what he does isn't so unique anymore and all that's left is his ego to watch his career go down. It will be a good test to see how much he actually cares to improve as a person. If there's any hunger left. Or he will just be another Twitch streamer trying to leech off others while vaping his future away.
Dan M was right about Stewie
This was honestly a good synopsis of all of this shit. I've got a unrelated question though for someone to chime in and answer. Where does a lot of the hate for RL and Thorin come from? Is there a timeline of how shit went down the shitter? Or is it just because they'll occasionally say shit that is more or less against the grain?
Because of previous dramas with those 2 at the centre of all of the fire and drama, they’re journalists so you gotta imagine they’re hearing stories and instantly validating them to write articles to get a bag, which then players started to dislike things that were said and same with orgs, eventually leaving a bad name for both of them, The other guy Thorin has said some absolutely ridiculous things on public mention, purely to be the centre of attention, people called him out for it many times before, like the UA-camr who came through called DAN M who used to call out pro players for cheating, these 2 ganged up on him and slandered him off the internet with their positions.. after Dan M was castrated from the internet at least 15 diff pro cheating scandals have happened including the coach stream sniping drama… DAN M was a bit much but he didn’t deserve what happened to him because of these 2 guys, and that’s not the only career they have been at the forefront of ruining, but it’s purely because of journalism.
Which is funnier in 2022 to think about Dan M and these guys because he was kind of right in a sense, just not 100% correct, instead of re aligning him and helping him on his journey they both straight up bad mouthed him, slandered him, mugged him out & made him to be a delusional fool, only for exact things he spoke of to end up being investigated 😂😂😂😂
This reminds me of the drama that occured shortly after Cloud9 won the Boston Major in 2018 between m0e and Stewie. M0e basically called out stew for having an inflated ego after his major win. Crazy world we live in when m0e was right for once.
Fucking hell this is painful
Great way to end it
Kid missed out on smacks as a child.
He just sounds so petulant and entitled what a horrible way to end his career
All this video does is make me sad I'm a huge NA CS fan especially during the Stew and Tarik duo days. The disrespect Stew shows to the CS scene and unprofessionalism especially during a time of weakness in the NA scene really is disheartening.
Kinda glad to see him go at this point. I'm hoping Grim keeps growing as a player and can far exceed the low bar Stewie said he had.
'Bro', 'Dude', 'Like', 'I don't give a shit', 'shit' ... Maybe it's just me nitpicking, but are most of these so called streamers incapable of talking without excessively using these words or phrases ?
Great video by the way. The 1st comment on that HLTV article pretty much sums up the thoughts of a lot of people in the CSGO community.
God damn, can EG just offload him already?
great video.
lost his box
Man watching stew go out like this is sad
9:25 RL dropping a little allusion to konfig lmao
I'm trying to imagine what he's like at parties.
All the weed, success and yesmen finally got to stew. His box is just gone.
Did Freakazoid ever come on the stream?
Not yet but he said he will eventually
I don't know what's worse, Stewie being this delusional about all that stuff or EG still keeping him despite all the things he has said!
Up Next.

Stewie2k: Richard Lewis is ********** **** ******. WHY THEY STILL TALKING ABOUT ME.
Maldie
Yay is the best actually not NA bias. The rating of his teammates are 4sure NA bias but yay is acknowledged by everybody i thnk becuz he actually pounds internationally
i honestly thinks he mentally stunted from how much weed he smoked when he was younger. Watch his old streams, you can almost always see hes baked everytime. Him and brax both known for being the smokers in the CS scene.
Its all Richard lewis fault that i play bad and treat everyone around me like crap!
At least EG are looking half decent in the RMR. I guess stewie was the problem! Hope autimatic succeeds.
WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL WRITING STORIES ABOUT ME!
"I don't miss CS."
LMAO, watching this from 2024 where he joined legacy as "stand-in".
Why does he literally sound like a 15 year old kid being angry to his mom during these clips
Even from the start of his career you could tell he had a massive ego problem.
His meteoric rise only inflated it further. I hope it bursts soon, he was undeniably talented, I’d like to see him take things seriously
Yea. The pro players hated Stewie because he played braindead and constantly pushed smokes, and because Stewie has a problem with listening to authority he pushed smokes even more. It work out for him to get on a team as an underdog but now that he is experienced he has complete control of his team but not enough braincells to make it work, and his ego won’t allow himself to listen to someone that is smarter than him.
@@WARnTEA harsh, but I completely agree
Does hight salaries makes you validate yourself?
I think some people do consider the amount of money they earn to be a measurement of success and by extension it ties to self-esteem, so yeah, for some it does.
@@RLewisReports just like shrouds fans.
His comments stink of a guy who read the title and assumed he knew what was in the article
Just like 90% of everyone who comments about things on the internet.
It never fails to astonish me how strongly people feel about things that were never written and only happened inside their own mind.
EG is enabling him unfortunately
This type of personality, only time will teach him unfortunately
Malta style ahahahaha
Dude is the epitome of self-snitching.
guy can barely string a sentence together
He seems like an adult child
This breakdown was amazing to watch! Just him spewing shit and get picked apart like that. It's like catching a kid with a hand in the cookie jar and them denying it....
His tone of voice in those clips, he sounds like a whiny teenager...
God this is just painful to watch Stewie talk like that... Just deflecting and so unaware of how much at fault he is for the damage he's done to EG. EG should just cut their losses and fire that guy. Why they're paying his bills is beyond me.
I think his contract has a clause that says it needs to be paid out entirely, according to what some people have said on shows.
Is Stewie just frustrated that all the girls followed him are now following valorant players?
Keep dreaming
If he was on any “real” sports team he’d be benched and fined sooo hard.
he is currently on the bench. indeed he hasn't been fined for this though
the ego and audacity that stewie had... god... wish that C9 wont Boston, the man ego was inflated like a air baloon
people would kill to get what got
Brilliant content. Just at the end, yay being the best player in the world is not NA bias. The guy is really just insane, it's not close.
