After being removed from Evil Geniuses' CS:GO roster on July 28 and pivoting to content creation, Stewie2K has been grinding VALORANT nonstop on his stream. In his latest stream on Twitch, Stewie2K revealed he's planning to spend the next months playing VALORANT extensively to master his skills before Riot moves to franchising in 2023. \u201cEvery day I\u2019ll be on stream,\u201d Stewie2K said. \u201cI\u2019ll be grinding ranked. I\u2019ll be trying to get into scrims. LCQ happens, [then] Champions will happen. Off-season comes, [and] franchising comes. Even if I miss franchising, I\u2019m going to keep streaming, watch and be a student of the game, and then get picked up. We\u2019ll try. We\u2019ll see how everything pans out.\u201d Despite his poor results in CS:GO this year with EG, Stewie2K is still one of the most decorated North American players in esports. He was a key part of the Cloud9 roster that won the ELEAGUE Boston Major in 2018\u2014the first and only Major an NA team has won in CS:GO\u2014and helped Team Liquid win multiple S-tier tournaments in 2019, including winning Intel Grand Slam's $1 million prize. It remains to be seen if Stewie2k will make it as a VALORANT pro.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/12060521\/20220411-JoaoFerreira@itsmeERROR_PGL_RMR-Amreicas_2022_A7302904.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654608"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1738"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=654608"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654608\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":654652,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654608\/revisions\/654652"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/572495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=654608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=654608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=654608"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=654608"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=654608"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=654608"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=654608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
