This would, obviously, go on to help to add to Summit1g's net worth in 2022.

In an interview with his sponsor AudioTechnica, Summit1g opened up about his career journey. There, he revealed that the Summit1g moniker had not really come from anything specific or sentimental. In the said interview, he explained that he simply chose the Counter Strike screen name randomly because no one else had used it.

When asked whether he had any advice to aspiring streamer, Lazar told Audio Technica that when it came to building your own brand, it was a matter of resourcefulnees and just enough exposure:

“Start doing it for the fun of it, not with the intention of being a professional streamer. Do it because you love it. Pick one or two main games and stick to them while you’re trying to build your community, as your following is very fragile when you first start. Post on Facebook and Twitter whenever you go live, tell your friends and family to hangout in your channel, make a live-streaming schedule so your viewers will know when you will be on then rinse and repeat.”

Lazar is presently listed as 18th on the list of most-followed channels on Twitch, closely contested by the 17th placer, video game developer Riot Games. At the time this piece was written. Summit1g has gathered 709,000 YouTube subscribers. He also posts many of his play highlights to over 61,000 Instagram and more than a million Twitter followers.
