SwaggerSouls mocks Fitz for falling for ‘career-ending’ Alt F4 troll Twitter/SwaggerSouls and Twitch/FitzMinecraft streamer Fitz fell for what may be the oldest trick in the book during a September 23 Twitch broadcast of Cube World. The 23-year-old tried out the new game Cube World with fellow streamer SwaggerSouls, a game the two had been looking forward to for a long time. The Minecraft-styled adventure had been in development since 2013. In it, players take control of a character in one of several classes such as mage or warrior and are dropped into the world to go on quests and explore. While the stream was going well, Fitz didn’t know how to open the command console. One cold-blooded viewer kept spamming instructions to help the popular entertainer out. “Open up the command console with Alt F2. If that doesn’t work, try Alt F3. If that doesn’t work, Alt F4,” Fitz said as he performed the instructions, unaware that pressing alt and F4 will close the window. When the game closed Fitz’s face told the whole story. He knew he’d been had and after a brief moment of silence where he could hardly believe his own misfortune, the streamer shouted “I’m fucking so dumb!” Telling someone to press alt and F4 is one of the oldest tricks in the book when it comes to online gaming. The website Know Your Meme defines the Alt + F4 as “a bait and switch trolling technique used against users who lack knowledge of operating system shortcuts and features.” Of course, Alt + F4 really is the Windows shortcut to close the active program. This meme is so ubiquitous that some gaming keyboards actually have the function to disable the shortcut. “Are you fucking kidding me?” Swagger laughed while Fitz kept repeating ‘I’m so dumb’. “Are you autistic? Did you really just Alt F4?” The Alt-F4 trick is widely recognized and certainly something that a streamer as experienced as Fitz shouldn’t have fallen for. “You wanted to take an edible before this stream,” Swagger went on, suggesting that Fitz made such a brutal error without even being high. “I might as well have, dude,” Fitz sulked. “I can’t believe I just fell for that,” he went on. “It was like the fifth time he spammed it. I was like alright Bill listen I’m gonna try. Oh my God. This it it bro. This is the end of my career.” With Twitchcon coming up on September 27 there’s no doubt the streamer will have some explaining to do when questioned by fans and other broadcasters about this epic fail.

Susu slams Twitch “stalker boogeymen” concerns as reply to thirsty fan goes viral – Dexerto
Susu slams Twitch “stalker boogeymen” concerns as reply to thirsty fan goes viral Twitter/Susu_jpgTwitch streamer Susu’s viral response to a fan wanting to “smash” has resulted in some concerned viewers worrying about potential stalkers. Earlier in November, Susu was streaming on Twitch when a fan asked her if he could “smash,” resulting in the streamer going off on him and his commitment to engaging in relations with her. “What are you going to do? Shove your d**k through the computer screen?” she asked before pondering if he was even willing to fly over to her or book her a plane ticket to his place. The response spread like wildfire across Twitter, Reddit, and other websites. However, it also prompted some fans to voice concerns for the steamer’s wellbeing for seemingly welcoming such an interaction. ‘You aren’t committed to the smash’ – @Susu_jpghttps://t.co/PKBwtObrbH — Dexerto (@Dexerto) November 17, 2021 Susu dismisses stalker worries from concerned fans Taking to Twitter, the gothic cosplayer and knife collector noted how after she had made the joke in response to the thirsty fan, some viewers said a man could start stalking her over it. “I made a joke about a silly thirst comment in my Twitch chat and it went viral with concern police saying a man would stalk me because of it,” she explained. Furthermore, Susu stated she won’t live in fear, because she has nothing to be afraid of saying, “I refuse to be conditioned to live in fear of men and be told I can’t say certain things. Most men aren’t predators. Stop it.” https://twitter.com/Susu_jpg/status/1463202864420040714 In response, many on social media agreed with Susu and remarked how there was an element of “victim blaming” going on despite the fact that nothing had even happened. “These people are legit making up stalker boogeymen that I should apparently be scared of. It’s nuts,” she said, noting how no one had made her feel unsafe in the slightest. What’s crazy to me is no one even made me feel unsafe. I joked, the chat laughed, we all had fun. These people are legit making up stalker boogeymen that I should apparently be scared of. it’s nuts. — susu🔪 (@Susu_jpg) November 23, 2021 It’s good to see that Susu isn’t concerned after making the comments and hopefully this will ease concerns over her wellbeing.

Swagg & Nuke Squad starstruck after interviewing James Bond actor Daniel Craig – Dexerto
Swagg & Nuke Squad starstruck after interviewing James Bond actor Daniel Craig Twitch: SwaggIn one of the more bizarre collaborations you’re going to see on Twitch for some time, FaZe Clan’s Nuke Squad — Swagg, Booya, Santana and JSmooth — had the chance to interview James Bond actor Daniel Craig. No Time to Die is the latest James Bond film and Craig’s final in the series, after first being cast for the 2006 release of Casino Royale. For that reason, as becomes clear, the Nuke Squad boys have grown up with James Bond and Daniel Craig almost being one and the same — and they were seriously impressed. Including a surprise guest appearance from Billie Eilish, the Nuke Squad got suited and booted to chat with Craig. The crossover you didn’t know you needed @NukeSquad x @007 x @billieeilish pic.twitter.com/e1GQGPAFQ7 — FaZe Clan (@FaZeClan) October 6, 2021 While the call itself was only around 15-20 minutes, the unlikely quintet discussed gaming, Call of Duty, acting, and more with the legendary actor. The Nuke Squad were clearly mesmerized and wanted to get all the information they could out of Craig, perhaps besides Booya, who struggled to come up with a question, much to the amusement of everyone else in the call. To make things even more surreal for them, Craig even said that he’d been watching them before and was amazed at how quick they are and how good they are at Warzone. While Billie Eilish wasn’t active on the call, she did pop up to say goodbye to Craig, with the actor even exclaiming how “cool” it was that she came over and hugged him to say goodbye. Needless to say, the Nuke Squad loved having the opportunity to speak with Daniel Craig, and Swagg even said No Time to Die is one of his top 10 films of all time. Not only that, but Craig seemed to enjoy it a lot too.

Suspicious YouTube channel is gaining more subscribers than PewDiePie or T-Series – Dexerto
Suspicious YouTube channel is gaining more subscribers than PewDiePie or T-Series When you think of the fastest growing YouTube channels, your mind is likely taken to T-Series and Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg’s epic battle for subscriber supremacy. However, a strange channel has soared up the most subscribed charts in the last 30 days, and it seems extremely suspicious. Social media stats-keepers Social Blade keep track of a number of different leaderboards for YouTube, including most viewers in a 30 day period, and most subscribers over a one month span. It’s the current leader for most subscribers of the last 30 days that is raising suspicions though, with what appears to be an Indian health and beauty channel flying up the ranks to claim a controversial top spot. Who is leading the most subscribers count? Interestingly, while it’s an Indian channel who tops the charts for the most subscribers in the last 30 days, it isn’t Bollywood juggernaut T-Series leading the charge, but rather a channel called DARK SECRETS, which proclaims to give out “Beauty, health and life secrets” to viewers. Read More: Novaruu “disgusted” by fellow Twitch streamer’s “arrogant” outburst about revealing clothing – The channel, which was created back in June 2017, has over 564 million total views, and has 7.5 million subscribers on April 30. The entire channel is in Hindi, with titles and videos all created in this language, with a number of videos appearing to talk about weight loss, masturbation and skincare, alongside a wide range of interesting videos, including the one found below which seems to discuss the “top five reasons why men are alone.” Read More: Top 20 most subscribed YouTube channels – The channel description states that the channel is a place for things like: “beauty tips and care, health tips, D.I.Y, love & life problems tips and much more.” Why is the channel raising suspicions? A number of different things have cast doubt on the legitimacy of the channel’s growth, with DARK SECRETS accruing all 7.5 million of their current subscribers in the past month, with the channel acquiring an eyebrow-raising 7.3 million subscribers in a 24 hour period back on April 13. This isn’t the first time the channel has seen huge subscriber numbers either, as Social Blade shows that the channel previously sat at six million subs back in October 2018, but they all mysteriously disappeared, leaving the channel with none until earlier this month. The views that their videos have received since the return of their subscribers also don’t add up, with most sitting with around 100,000 views, apart from a couple which have garnered a few million. While it’s impossible to know for sure whether these new subscribers are fake or not, it seems extremely likely that they are, as it’s almost impossible to see a channel gain 7 million subscribers in 24 hours. It’s probable that YouTube will carry out a routine sweep of the site for fake accounts at some point in the future, so it’s likely that a large number of DARK SECRETS subscribers will mysteriously vanish once again if this does take place.

Survey reveals TikTok stars won’t be switching to Instagram Reels – Dexerto
Survey reveals TikTok stars won’t be switching to Instagram Reels Instagram Reels/TikTokTikTok creators are wary of jumping ship to Instagram Reels, an informal survey of influencers by one talent agency indicates. A snap survey of talent managed by UK-based generation Z agency Fanbytes, carried out days after Instagram launched its TikTok competitor, indicated 75% wouldn’t be moving from TikTok to Instagram Reels. Reels was launched worldwide on August 5 by Instagram, whose parent company is Facebook. The app shares many similarities with TikTok though includes different editing tools including AR effects and tools that help align different takes for a finished video. The maximum video length allowed on Reels is also shorter – 15 seconds, compared to TikTok’s maximum of 60 seconds. The app has been criticized by some for being a carbon copy of TikTok, an allegation Instagram’s product director, Robby Stein, denied. “At the end of the day, no two products are exactly alike, and ours are not either,” he told The Verge. Despite those similarities and the imminent risk of a ban in the United States, following India outlawing TikTok at the end of June, a high proportion of TikTok creators appear to be remaining with the app as their primary place to post new content. Big TikTok creators such as Josh Richards, who has 21 million followers on the app, have continued posting on TikTok – despite Richards signing up as an investor and head of strategy for TikTok competitor Triller in late July. The massive audiences creators have built on TikTok is one reason for them to stick with the app despite its controversies – while loyalty appears to be a decision for others. “Social media was crying out for a new video platform for years when TikTok first launched – especially one not owned by the same one person,” said Stevie Yessaian, a comedy creator with 1.1 million followers on TikTok. Another creator with 2.3 million fans said: “TikTok is home for me, a place where me and my weirdo internet friends hang out.” Creators are smart, however, and know that it makes sense to expand their audience beyond a single platform, particularly one threatened with a ban in multiple countries. One in five of the 46 Fanbytes creators surveyed did say that they’d be including Instagram Reels in their social strategy to the extent that it would impact their content creation on TikTok. The majority of those who said they would be dialing down the number of videos they produce on TikTok in favor of most posts on Instagram Reels were people who had originally made their name on Instagram, and had more recently migrated over to TikTok in order to build their audience. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDn5D0Qnnap/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet “I’m not surprised about the influencer reaction,” said Timothy Armoo, founder of Fanbytes, who surveyed the talent he oversees. “One of the interesting things is that TikTok as a platform has its own culture, and a whole generation of people have grown up as the platform has.” Opposition to Instagram’s strategy also plays a part, explained Armoo. “They objectively see Instagram almost as a copycat to what they’ve always known,” he said. “I think this only applies to people who have grown up on TikTok though.” Influencers who have less of a history on TikTok are more willing to make a move – and more accepting of the arrival of Reels on the scene. “Reels provides them with the similar functionality, though I think the culture is missing,” Armoo said.

Surprising amount of tickets left for KSI vs Logan Paul boxing rematch – Dexerto
Surprising amount of tickets left for KSI vs Logan Paul boxing rematch With only a few days to go until KSI and Logan Paul square off in their highly-anticipated YouTube boxing rematch, there is a surprising amount of tickets still available. Ever since the KSI and Logan Paul rematch was announced, fans on both sides have been gearing up to get behind their favorite content creator as they prepare to step back in between the ropes and into the ring. They’ve made their feelings known on social media, in the YouTube comments section, and even at the two pre-fight press conferences. Just how many of those fans will shell out for the pay-per-view stream remains to be seen, but as of now, they may be better considering heading to witness it in person – provided they live pretty close of course. That’s because, as of writing, there are still thousands of tickets left – well over 6,000, actually – including a healthy portion of the cheapest tickets, which are priced at $41 before additional fees from the ticketing websites. Some sections, in fact, are pretty much completely available, including one of the floor sections behind the media, where only a handful of tickets have been sold at the going rate of $517. A few resale tickets, which are spread across the arena, are also available on these sites, suggesting that either people can’t attend or the secondary market hasn’t quite seen the demand that they may have been expecting. However, that’s not to say that tickets won’t be sold before November 9. Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn explained on the True Geordie podcast that American fans typically buy late in the day, compared to UK fans who jump on tickets as soon as possible. Yet, detractors of a full sell-out show have remained since the start, as the promoter of the first bout – Stuart Jones – told the Happy Hour podcast that he wasn’t sure if the Staples Centre was the correct venue for both ticket sales and pay-per-view buys from the get-go. Hearn had previously revealed to IFL TV that 7,000 tickets had been sold at the start of October. That would be a third of the arena’s capacity, but it’s also unknown how it will be configured for the fight, and if all section have, indeed, been up for sale. We won’t have long to wait, though, considering the YouTube pair will square off in less than a week’s time.

Supermarket staff tries to snatch shopper’s phone after accusing her of stealing – Dexerto
Supermarket staff tries to snatch shopper’s phone after accusing her of stealing TikTok/annemarieherridge3An employee at a Tesco supermarket has the internet raging after she was filmed trying to grab a customer’s phone during a heated confrontation. The last thing anyone wants to do when they’re done shopping is be stuck waiting to leave, but that’s exactly what happened in a viral TikTok clip when a woman tried to leave the store with some food for her and her dogs. According to Anne Marie, who goes by ‘@Annemarieherridge3’ on TikTok, after paying over $100 in groceries through self-checkout, she was stopped by an employee who said she had to search through her cart. The Daily Star reports that Marie was being accused of stealing and was confused when a non-uniform store detective showed up and didn’t show his ID. That’s when the confrontation went from bad to worse. Tesco employee filmed trying to snatch customer’s phone in viral confrontation As Anne Marie discussed the situation with the two employees, things got heated when the detective started going through her items without even checking the receipt. “Can I have your name, please?” she asked. “Since you’re going through my shopping and you’re saying you’re a store detective, but you’ve got no ID and you’ve shown me no ID.” This seemed to anger the other employee who took an issue with being filmed, asking her coworker to call the police. “I’ve paid for my items so I’m entitled to record you!” she exclaimed. A few moments later without warning, the employee tried to grab Anne’s phone, but she held on, refusing to give it up that easily and stood her ground, continuing to argue and plead her case. Unfortunately, that’s where the video ends, but the woman claims she’s been banned from the store and Metro reports that Tesco is investigating the incident. In the comments, users were heavily in favor of the shopper. “It’s the fact he’s looking through your shopping without the receipt,” one user mocked. “Is she daft or something? Doesn’t like the lady recording her but is fine with being recorded by the security cameras all over the store,” another chimed in. This isn’t the only bizarre shopping experience to go viral recently. Earlier this year, a Walmart customer was “arrested” for purchasing $0.03 in clothing.

Super Nintendo World proposal TikTok goes viral after Luigi ignores couple – Dexerto
Super Nintendo World proposal TikTok goes viral after Luigi ignores couple Wikimedia Commons / NintendoA proposal TikTok at Nintendo’s Super Nintendo World theme park has gone viral after a Luigi mascot appeared oblivious to the happy couple. The Super Nintendo World theme park at Universal Studios in California finally opened to the public at the start of 2023 — two years after the first Super Mario World opened in Japan. Since then, Nintendo fans have flocked to the park to live out their wildest Mushroom Kingdom fantasies and spend the day with Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach. However, one happy couple’s proposal TikTok at Super Nintendo World unexpectedly went viral after viewers noticed that Luigi had seemingly ignored the man proposing right next to him. Super Nintendo World proposal goes viral thanks to Luigi mascot The TikTok came from bellabelli260, who posted the video on August 13, 2023. The 16-second TikTok showed her now-fiancé getting down on one knee with a ring to propose. The romantic moment was perfectly captured on video, with the Mario mascot quickly noticing the interaction and clapping happily while looking surprised. Unfortunately, it seemed the Luigi mascot wasn’t up to speed on what was happening right next to him, as the green plumber stood still and stared straight ahead the entire time. Viewers in the comments section pointed out just how funny Luigi looked before he finally noticed what was happening at the end. “Luigi did NOT care,” said one viewer, while another TikTok user pointed out, “Luigi not noticing till later” is just part of his character. Others pointed out how funny the automated voice lines from the mascots sounded during such a heartfelt moment. “Can you imagine being proposed to and in the background Mario is just blabbing about ‘its Mario time!’” While Luigi may not have been overly invested in the couple’s proposal, it will surely make for a memory they won’t soon forget.

Super Seducer: Meet the man behind the game – Dexerto
Super Seducer: Meet the man behind the game RLR TrainingSuper Seducer is the brainchild of Richard La Ruina, Europe’s self-styled number one dating coach. A controversial figure, Richard’s game has been criticized in some quarters for its portrayal of women, and even banned from release on PlayStation, yet big content creators such as Amouranth, Mizkif, and TmartN have streamed it. In the game, the male character – played by Richard himself – approaches women in bars, cafes, and even stops them in the street. He then proceeds to chat to them, choosing from various lines. The response from the woman will differ depending on the player’s choice. The games do feature some dating advice, with La Ruina giving feedback on the player’s choice. Super Seducer is described on Steam as the world’s most realistic seduction simulator, but La Ruina told Dexerto that it is “very stupid and not to be taken entirely seriously.” Yet Super Seducer 3, the latest game in the series, was rejected by Steam, and whilst La Ruina has submitted a censored version, it hasn’t been approved at the time of writing Whilst Richard waits for a release date to be confirmed, we chatted to him about his career in dating, the rise of Super Seducer, the controversies, and how it found an audience with streamers. Read More: 5 things we know about Far Cry 6 so far – La Ruina admits that he didn’t kiss a woman until he was 21. Looking back, he says he was ‘bad with women’, but after reading some books, changing his fashion style, and doing some public speaking, he gained confidence. He then felt that he was able to take the information he had researched and pass it onto other people who felt they needed help with dating. “I thought ‘I could teach this.’ So I put together a curriculum and started doing courses,” he explained. As a fan of gaming since the days of the Sega Mega Drive, he started considering what he could do with technology and he had the idea of creating ‘a silly app for iPhone.’ However, Super Seducer only came into being when a games publisher approached him with the idea of creating a seducer simulator. According to Richard, it was never meant to be totally realistic. Describing it as ‘very stupid’, he says that players shouldn’t treat it as a dating course even if it does contain some advice and scenarios based on his own experiences. “It’s not serious,” he says. “It’s not Demon’s Souls – it’s just fun.” Whilst it may not have been Richard’s intention to make a realistic dating game, the first game – released in 2018 – did attract negative feedback from critics, and even getting the first and third titles released has been difficult. “The first game had problems because we made it before #MeToo. Then it came out right as that was all spiking. So, there were people, journalists, who hadn’t even played the game that wanted to get it banned,” he continued. Whilst some critics weren’t happy with the content, that didn’t prevent a number of streamers from playing the game. “The first game blew up when Videogamedunkey on YouTube played it,” Richard explained. Them, when Super Seducer 2 quickly followed in 2018, content creators requested some codes. Huge streamers, such as Pokimane have also played it. Richard enjoys watching them play his game. “I watch it with my wife. We sit down, we have iPads and computers, and we load up Twitch on all of them and see who’s playing. I also liked Amouranth, she was really funny.” He also mentioned Mizkif as another of his favorites. He also listened to streamers’ reaction to the sequel – they felt that the game became too memefied and a bit too silly at this point, with even more ridiculous options than the first. The third in the series, when it is eventually released, will feature a couple of cameos from content creators, including NymN. The game, together with his career as a dating coach, has led to Richard being recognized in the street. He recalled one incident that happened whilst out in Cambridge. “There was a guy who recognized me and he had his phone in his top pocket recording, and I didn’t notice. He was asking me advice and tips for women. He tried to get me to talk to women in the street and stuff.” Following the encounter, the guy uploaded the video onto YouTube. Yet, while Super Seducer has given him more recognition, the third game in the series will be the last. Richard told us that they are at the mercy of Steam’s policies when it comes to getting their games released. ‘We wouldn’t want to make it and have Steam change their policies and we lose all our money and time that we invested,” he said. ‘It doesn’t make sense to have a game and rely on a single platform, He would still like to make a Super Seducer VR game, he has doubts that Facebook would ever allow it to be on Oculus. Yet that doesn’t mean that Richard will stop making games entirely. He will just need to change his approach. ‘It would make more sense to me to make a different game and have it on all platforms, because otherwise it’s super risky,” he said. Super Seducer 3 has been submitted to Steam and is awaiting a release date.

Summoning Salt blasts YouTube as Mega Man 2 video age restricted for ‘sexual content’ – Dexerto
Summoning Salt blasts YouTube as Mega Man 2 video age restricted for ‘sexual content’ YouTube/SummoningSaltPopular YouTuber Summoning Salt is fed up with the platform after his video on the history of Mega Man 2 speedrunning world records was age restricted for containing sexual content. Summoning Salt is a big name in the speedrunning community thanks to his documentary-style videos chronicling all sorts of games from Super Mario 64 to Ninja Gaiden. On September 17, he uploaded a video about Mega Man 2 – his longest to date – and everything seemed to be going well. Unfortunately, not long after, he received an email informing him that his video would be restricted. As it turns out, the video had been flagged for containing “sustained use of heavy profanities” – something the YouTuber disputed heavily. Little did he know, however, that his troubles had only just begun. Summoning Salt video hit with multiple restrictions The content creator explained on Twitter that while his video did include a three-second clip of speedrunner Ellonija dropping a few f-bombs, it hardly constituted as “sustained use of heavy profanities.” “Videos with 21x the amount of swearing per capita remain un-restricted. YouTube refuses to explain,” he added on September 21. While the nightmare appeared to be over a day later when YouTube admitted they made a mistake, just over a week after, the Mega Man 2 video was age-restricted once again, this time for violating the platform’s policies on “sex and nudity.” Eventually, YouTube said it was wrong to remove the original age restriction, to begin with, prompting Summoning Salt to make a video addressing the situation, but the restriction would remain in place. “I’ve received no clarification as to why I was ever told that it was flagged for sex and nudity. I guess it’s not too surprising that the same ‘careful reviewers’ that think a 3-second rant is sustained also think that Mega Man 2 somehow has sex/nudity,” he blasted. He also revealed that YouTube offered no reason why the three-second clip of Ellonija swearing would be classified as a sustained rant, further infuriating him. For his part, Summoning Salt is still deciding how to go forward, explaining he might cut the scene from the original video or reupload it, but it seems like the damage had already been done. As YouTuber noted in his video, despite all his criticisms, at the end of the day, he’s still at the mercy of the platform.

Super Mario Bros Plumbing trailer features hidden message from Charlie Day’s Luigi – Dexerto
Super Mario Bros Plumbing trailer features hidden message from Charlie Day’s Luigi Illumination/NintendoThe Super Mario Bros. move is on the horizon and the new Plumbing trailer has a secret message from Luigi, played by Charlie Day, hidden inside of it. Illumination’s Super Mario Bros. film is a star-studded adaptation of the beloved video game franchise and the marketing for the movie is now utilizing Charlie Day’s signature silliness. On February 12, the studio released a trailer that shows the franchise’s iconic leading duo hard at work as plumbers, and just like Stranger Things did before them, the phone number in the trailer is attached to an IRL Easter egg for those curious enough to call. Luigi’s hidden message in the new Super Mario Bros. movie trailer Not only is there a functional phone number with a pre-recorded message (which we won’t spoil), but there is also a functional website setup to represent Super Mario Bros. Plumbing. Anyone interested in hearing what he has to say can call 929-55-MARIO (929-556-2746). SMBPlumbing is a simple site with links to testimonials, contact information, and even a Careers page for those interested in becoming a fictional plumber as well. There’s nothing actually on that part of the site yet, but it does tease that something is coming soon, though that could just be part of the joke. The reviews come from suspiciously familiar usernames. Fiver-star reviewer BrosMom noted that the mustachioed men treated her like family, while SpikeIsCool claimed that there is “no loyalty” from the pair. This is likely in reference to Foreman Spike of Wrecking Crew, which was one of the first titles to feature the Mario Universe characters. In the game, Spike owned the site where both Mario and Luigi worked as demolition men of sorts. Spending some time digging through everything in the trailer and the additional treats will be a nice way for fans to kill time until the Super Mario Bros. movie arrives on April 7.

Summit1g’s war on GTA RP cops continues as they try to end his race – Dexerto
Summit1g’s war on GTA RP cops continues as they try to end his race Twitch: Summit1g / Rockstar GamesJaryd ‘Grand Theft Auto Roleplay, a mode where players take the form of their own specific character, and live out their lives in the city of Los Santos. Summit’s Charles Robinson persona has a long and storied history on the popular NoPixel server, and during his August 26 stream, added another chapter to his ongoing feud with law enforcement in the RP mode when he shot down a police officer who pulled out a taser. During an illegal race around Los Santos, Summit and his teammate pulled into a gas station to fill up their car, only to find a policeman had pulled in behind them, blocking their cars while attempting to arrest the drivers for speeding. Thinking fast, the former CS:GO pro hopped out of the passenger seat and started running around pretending that he was horrified by what was going on, screaming in panic in an attempt to distract the officer from his arrests. The law enforcement agent was steadfast in his job though, telling his suspect to get into the police car, eventually pulling out a taser when they refused – something that Summit1g didn’t appreciate. The streamer quickly dropped his facade, shouting: “Listen, I’m not a big fan officer, put those hands up,” as the officer fired off his electrical weapon before attempting to flee the scene. Summit fired off a few shots with cries of “Are you kidding me,” taking him down and then pumping lead into the tyres of the police car for good measure. “Fuck your car too copper, show some respect,” roared Summit as he sped away from the crime scene. “Motherfucker’s gonna tase me? I’m going to take it like a champ! Let’s go!” The Twitch streamer has had plenty of run-ins with law enforcement on GTA RP in the past, sharing his frustrations at the way they act, and even holding an officer hostage after an attempted bank heist went horribly wrong. Luckily for Summit, there were no other officers in the area, so he was able to make a clean getaway after his stunning assault.

Summit1g’s Sea of Thieves tactic backfires incredibly in hilarious moment – Dexerto
Summit1g’s Sea of Thieves tactic backfires incredibly in hilarious moment Summit1g, TwitchFinally somebody was a step ahead of Jaryd ‘Summit1g‘ Lazar on Sea of Thieves as one of his most trusty hiding tactics backfired in spectacular fashion. The popular streamer, who recently reached the 40,000 Twitch subscriber milestone, looked to be up to his old tricks again as he hopped aboard another crew’s Galleon in search of some more valued loot. However, having presumed that it was only him on the hunt, Summit was left utterly shocked when he noticed what was happening in the background. Initially, he’d thought it was a good idea to lower the anchor of his ship and sneak up on some players they spotted on a nearby island. From there, he decided to swim over to their boat and find a hiding spot. Having figured that there was no loot on board this time, Summit and his teammate shot at some skeletons on the beach before laying down next to one of the cannons, waiting for players to return so they could take them out. Little did he know, though, that it was him that was about to be tricked. “What the fuck? Someone got our boat!” Summit yelled. “Our boat is driving by right now. What the fuck? Hey man, get off our boat.” The player rammed their boat right into the island, causing major damage and it started to sink. After admitting that they had been “bamboozled” and outplayed, Summit set his sights on revenge. He said: “I don’t appreciate you sinking my boat, motherfucker” before eliminating the crafty pirate underwater after the ship had fallen to the depths.

Summit1g’s Step Dad Scares the Life Out of Him While Playing Outlast 2 – Dexerto
Summit1g’s Step Dad Scares the Life Out of Him While Playing Outlast 2 Twitter/@summit1gPlaying jump scare video games isn’t for the faint hearted, but makes for quality entertainment on live stream as Summit1G proves after his step dad set him up for a perfectly timed prank. Outlast 2 is a first person ‘survival-horror’ game, which came out early 2017. It is lauded for being incredibly immersive and frightening in equal measure, with the evil creatures that lurk sneaking up on you at every turn. Upon release, it took over live streaming website Twitch, with many of the most popular streamers broadcasting the game and viewers almost playing along with them. It is easy to see why these kind of games make for such good entertainment to watch as well as actually play yourself, and so summit1g decided to give it another go on a recent stream. Summit1g, real name Jaryd Lazar is in the very upper tiers of Twitch streamers, with over three million followers making him the 5th most followed channel. As a former CS:GO player, he is known for being a skilled player as well as an entertainer, but nothing can prepare you for the trials of Outlast 2 – and certainly not for your step dad creeping up on you in the dark. With the lights off, Summit1g was going for the most immersive experience possible, making a perfect opportunity for his step dad to catch him with his guard down and in a tense moment of the game. Maybe in future summit1g might lock his door before jumping back in to the thriller game, which is known to elicit these kind of reactions all by itself. While he recovered however, his step dad took over and it must be said he wasn’t too shabby a gamer himself – and also wasn’t convinced by how scare it is either. You can watch summit1g stream almost daily via his Twitch Channel, although we wouldn’t count on too many Outlast 2 streams in the future.

Summit1g’s return to CS:GO surprises everyone with insane triple kill – Dexerto
Summit1g’s return to CS:GO surprises everyone with insane triple kill Summit1g / ValveCounter-Strike: Global Offensive on Twitch in recent times, but this incredible triple kill proves that he hasn’t lost a step. The popular streamer, who has over 3.8 million followers on the platform, decided to take a break from GTA RP and return to CS:GO for a few games during a stream on May 16. His return didn’t disappoint viewers, either, after pulling off one of his most impressive plays for quite some time – ripping through three players in the space of about five seconds. The impressive play came just after the streamer noted that the opponents hadn’t already used flashbangs to stop his team from repeatedly going to the same location, but seemed to have spoken too soon as he was flashed out not once, but twice. Just moments later, the team popped a flash at Summit1g, which looked to be causing some problems, but he soon responded with some inch perfect shots. Peaking to the right, behind a wall, the streamer hit two players with his AWP, before peaking to the left and taking out the third player – all with quickscopes. His chat was impressed too, and a smirking Summit1g responded with a cheeky comment of his own. “isn’t this normal? Come on, we always play like this chat. Duh!” he said, as the shocked viewers flooded the chat with messages. In reality, this is quite different from what his viewers have been seeing from Summit in recent times, as he has been rotating between Sea of Thieves, Apex Legends, and Grand Theft Auto RP as his main streaming titles for the last few months. Summit’s CS:GO career was cut short, but made famous by his humiliating molotov fail, where he failed to clutch a round despite killing all enemies, because he walked into the flames of his own molly – and the opposing team brought it back from match point to win the series. Whether or not this will be the last we see of the streamer playing CS:GO for a while remains to be seen, but it’s always nice to see him make a return. Especially, when he’s playing like this.

Summit1g’s return to Halo on PC fails miserably with comedy of errors – Dexerto
Summit1g’s return to Halo on PC fails miserably with comedy of errors Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar decided to finally make his return to Halo: The Master Chief Collection, but it’s fair to say that many things didn’t turn out as planned during the broadcast. The popular Twitch star has been mixing up the games he plays on the platform during the course of 2019, giving the likes of GTA RP, Sea of Thieves, and many other titles some air time, although on December 3 he gave them something a little different. Microsoft’s Master Chief Collection is one of the franchise’s most popular games and the streamer, in some instances, looked like he was taking to it like a duck to water. In others, he had a bit of a nightmare. One of the funniest fails in his broadcast came when he tried to throw a grenade over a wall by bouncing it off another. It was difficult to tell what he was going for when he first threw the grenade, though. The trick could have paid dividends if it was executed correctly, but just like his molotov fail in CS:GO all those years ago it left him a little embarrassed. “I was like, it’s going to go over the wall. We’re fine,” he said after exploding his own character. If you thought that was good then brace yourself for the next clip. Summit appeared to completely forget that there was fall damage on the game and, as you can imagine, things didn’t turn out too well. The former CS:GO player lined up what was always going to be an ambitious stunt to pull off, throwing himself off a structure and intending to land on a small piece of metal. He did land where he wanted, but obviously fell to his death in the process! He couldn’t believe it. “Hey, there’s fall damage,” he said as the ‘you committed suicide’ note appeared on screen. “There’s fall damage. I figured that out now, thank you.” Aside from that comedy of errors, it’s worth noting that Summit1g was particularly successful when he had a sniper in-hand, ripping off shots to take out a number of enemy players in quick succession on a number of occasions – leaving his fans in the chat stunned in the process. Either way, there’s no doubt that next time he plays Halo that he won’t make some of the same mistakes. In the case of eliminating himself with a grenade or something like a Molotov, though, you just can’t write that one off in any game with summit.

Summit1g’s negotiation tactics lead to incredible Sea of Thieves gaffe – Dexerto
Summit1g’s negotiation tactics lead to incredible Sea of Thieves gaffe Summit1G/Sea of ThievesJaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar is quickly becoming known for his highly entertaining Sea of Thieves highlights but every now and again, a fail slips through and provides some hilarious moments for viewers of his stream. While the long-time Twitch streamer may have been critical of the game recently, that hasn’t stopped him from sailing the high seas as he gets involved in hilarious highjinx on the pirate adventure title. While he may dominate the stealth thieving aspect of the game, Lazar also does his best to just brashly rob enemies at gunpoint and terrify them into handing over their loot. But as we’ve seen before, when it doesn’t work, it produces some spectacular fails. During his February 3 stream, after chasing down an enemy, Summit climbed aboard their ship with a Mega Keg in hand and begun threatening to sink their ship – taking his own life in the process. He threatened his enemy with death, shouting at them: “Don’t move, I’ll blow your ship up brother. Don’t move or you’ll die. Trust me, you best turn this bitch around right now motherfucker. Don’t look at me, turn around. Turn the fuck around. If this boat doesn’t start turning, then we’re all going. This is the Mega Bomb, brother.” Read More: Who is Ninja from the Super Bowl commercial? – However, when they didn’t respond, Summit took matters into his own hands. “Alright man, don’t think I didn’t warn your ass. Have fun with that one,” he added, before lighting the bomb and trying to make his escape. Yet, his plan didn’t work out as first thought as the Mega Keg didn’t immediately sink the enemy vessel and left Summit, in the middle of the ocean, damaged without any rewards to show for it. It looks like Lazar is going to have to go back to the drawing board before he attempts a stunt like that again. He’s been incredibly successful with some wild Sea of Thieves highlights – including taking out a Skeleton Ship without firing a single shot – but this mission definitely wasn’t a successful one.

Summit1g’s New Year Sea of Thieves heist goes badly wrong – Dexerto
Summit1g’s New Year Sea of Thieves heist goes badly wrong Summit1g, TwitchJaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar might have made his name as a good shooter in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, but in Sea of Thieves he’s become a master of treasure heists. Or, at least he was in 2018. During one of the streamer’s first heists of the new year, though, it would seem that he may have lost his touch for stealthy treasure theft. Read More: Summit1g pulls off heist of the century in Sea of Thieves, escapes in row boat with crew’s loot – Summit was streaming a heist on January 1 and repeated his tactics of old, hiding in the captain’s quarters of a Galleon, where he suspected that the team would soon leave him alone with their precious loot. But, it never quite worked out like he will have intended. The popular streamer was initially hiding amongst the team’s chests before deciding to return to his usual spot, hidden behind a chair, as he tried to scout out their next move. However, one member of the crew started to walk around the room with their lantern and caught sight of him. “Hey, you all see this fucker?” one said before taking a shot at Summit. “He’s right here. Kill him, fucking kill him!” It wasn’t a success like usual, but a total disaster. He escaped fairly quickly, ate a banana and jumped overboard. “I got caught! I got caught!” Summit told his shocked teammates, before he was shot dead underwater after realizing he had no ammo. It’s shocking to see the streamer come unstuck with what’s usually a very successful play, but we’re sure he’ll bounce back again soon.

Summit1g’s Jigsaw impression terrifies player into leaving Sea of Thieves server – Dexerto
Summit1g’s Jigsaw impression terrifies player into leaving Sea of Thieves server Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar is becoming well known for his funny Sea of Thieves streams, but while his latest comedy clip made many viewers laugh, it appeared to scare one player into fleeing the game altogether. Summit has been entertaining his audience with his Sea Of Thieves exploits in recent weeks, and many other streamers have jumped on board. He has created some classic clips when stealing enemy chests and hiding out in enemy ships, but his latest, created with the help of a voice changer, might just be the best yet. Using a voice changer program to mimic the infamous Jigsaw voice from the SAW movies, Summit called out to an enemy: “I want to play a game. Here on this island, I have hidden your chest – your Seafarers Chest. You have two minutes to find this chest and turn it in. If you don’t, I’ll kill you, I’ll sink your ship and I’ll turn it in. The clock starts now.” While Lazar waited with baited breath, he was to be denied as the player decided to leave the game instead of taking on the streamer, possibly thinking that the chest wasn’t worth the effort. “She left the game,” Summit shouted. “God damn it, dude! I think I scared the shit out of her. I got to start doing that now man – I want to play a game on things I steal!” Yet that didn’t stop the streamer retreating back to the chest he had stolen and cashing it in for some sweet, sweet gold coins.

Summit1g’s hilarious GTA V Roleplay stream included NSFW pushups, police drama and more – Dexerto
Summit1g’s hilarious GTA V Roleplay stream included NSFW pushups, police drama and more Summit1GTwitch streamer Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar has returned to the Grand Theft Auto V roleplay servers – bringing back hilarious highlights to the delight of his fans. GTA V roleplay gives players the ability to become even more immersed in the fictional city of Los Santos – as they take on the form of a normal NPC and take them on a journey of their own through the players ability to improv and role play. So, it’s the perfect playground for someone like Summit who’s natural ability to be funny and entertain his fans with some brilliant interactions is almost unmatched. Summit returned to the GTA V RP servers during his March 10 stream, where he found himself in a number of comedic situations throughout the broadcast that led to both him, and his viewers, cracking up with laughter. During a moment with two players role-playing as news reporters, Summit’s character took a hatchet to the back of the head, that was seemingly meant for a different player – with the streamer even seeing the funny side of things. The accidental attack caused him to begin bleeding out, yet Summit survived after some quick thinking from his earlier attacker to get him to the hospital. After reacquainting himself with the world of GTA RP, Summit then found himself a partner to take on a bank heist with. Following a somewhat successful robbery, the pair attempted to escape the grasp of the police during a car chase. However, things that quite work out as planned as Summit wiped the car out following the lengthy chase. As he was flung from the car, the streamer collided directly with a tree – leading to him being knocked unconscious and delivered straight into the waiting arms of the police who had been on his tail. After being locked up in Jail for the failed robbery attempt, the streamer taunted a fellow player, the cop who had just arrested him, into following his instructions – by joking about the size of his penis. “No wonder you got a small weiner,” Summit said, “you’ve gotta do cock push-ups.” Read More: Top 10 most watched Twitch Clips of all time – Following that brutal barb, the police officer began doing the animation of push-ups, causing Summit’s chat to fall about themselves laughing at the interaction. However, he wasn’t finished there. After receiving praise from Summit, the other player began doing push-ups again – using a different animation where only half of his body was visible. “Wow, that’s impressive,” Summit complimented his fellow player. “Wow, there goes the record right there. Jesus, that’s Guinness [book of world records].” These types of interactions are nothing unusual for Summit – he has scared enemies off in Sea of Thieves just by using the same voice-changer that he does to create his GTA character. With GTA RP seemingly making a comeback on Twitch following its huge jump in popularity in early 2018, Summit’s fans may have even more enjoyable interactions to sit through in the near future.

Summit1g’s hilarious drive-by in GTA RP doesn’t go to plan – Dexerto
Summit1g’s hilarious drive-by in GTA RP doesn’t go to plan Popular GTA V Roleplay – despite it not going completely to plan. Summit, who was known for his time as a top streamer on Twitch, has quickly become one of the faces of GTA V’s roleplaying servers, creating some hilarious highlights for fans to enjoy, such as his epic feud with the police in-game. The former CS:GO star has experienced quite a lot on the popular NoPixel servers and continues to impress fans with his gameplay on GTA RP by consistently looking to pull off highlight plays. During his stream on October 18, Summit1g was driving around with a few other players when they found the perfect opportunity to wipe out some of their in-game enemies parked near a store. After stalking the opponents for a short while, the Twitch star and his crew decided that they would quickly pull up on them and kill them before they would have a chance to react. “Hey, what’s up you stupid motherf**kers?” said one of Summit’s passengers as they pulled up beside them and started firing at the unsuspecting players. However, things did not quite go according to the plan, as the enemy players quickly hopped in their car and began to drive away before summit’s squad could finish the kill. Fortunately for the Twitch star, who started to chase his opponents down, they did not make it very far and ended up crashing directly into a nearby wall, making it easy for them to finish the job. “God damn, nice and clean, in and out, in and out,” Summit said as he began to flee the scene, eager to avoid yet another 20-minute chase from the police as he has experienced in the past during his time on GTA RP. The popular streamer has had numerous run-ins with the police on GTA RP and they often lead to some classic moments such as one of his driving fails shortly after bragging about his chances of escape.

Summit1g’s CSGO team humiliated by insane AWP no-scope 3k – Dexerto
Summit1g’s CSGO team humiliated by insane AWP no-scope 3k Popular Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teammates were destroyed by an insane AWP play, including a no-scope triple, that was being streamed by the other team. While many fans know Summit as a variety streamer who will usually play PUBG, GTA RP, Apex Legends, and Escape From Tarkov, he started out with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The streamer even, infamously, tried his hand at going pro back in 2016 – but that didn’t work out too well as he birthed the 1G meme after dying to the flames of his own Molotov. Yet, he still regularly returns the game while streaming, using it to break his own curse alongside some professionals. Despite being a pretty good player in his own right, though, Summit does run into casual players who can single-handedly ruin his match. During his October 12 stream, Lazar returned to his roots and picked up the AWP for a few games, but it was a smaller streamer – CammeLL – who grabbed the spotlight. Summit was caught completely unaware while watching the Palace position on Mirage as CammeLL nailed him with a headshot. As he watched on, the streamer called out his opponent’s position but his team took no notice, running into consecutive close-range no scopes. “Oh my God, what is even going on right now,” summit called out. “Oh my god, this is not happening! We’re on YouTube!” he said, before putting his head in his hands in disbelief. Of course, one man’s despair is another’s celebration as CammeLL streamed his first-hand account of things. Not only did he embarrass Summit’s squad with three no scopes, but he also caught them completely unaware by hopping right through a well-placed smoke grenade to get behind them. CammeLL seemingly couldn’t believe his own feat as he repeatedly asked viewers to clip the highlight. The moment might just serve as a warning though for anyone like summit’s squad who decide to completely forget what they know – it might just turn into a hilarious highlight that can be watched from multiple angles. It wasn’t all bad for summit though, as at least he managed to avoid dying to any molotovs this time around.

Summit1g’s fire curse strikes again in GTA RP disaster – Dexerto
Summit1g’s fire curse strikes again in GTA RP disaster Steam / Rockstar GamesJaryd ‘CS:GO molotov fail from all those years ago, but some Grand Theft Auto RP fans might well have witnessed something even funnier during his August 14 broadcast. The popular variety streamer has actually been mixing it up between the two games for his viewers on Twitch during the month, with many delighted to see the return of Charles Johnson to the NoPixel server – where the most popular GTA RP is played out. Many of those who have been watching him play the roleplaying mod for quite some time have mocked the player’s driving skills on the odd occasion, with some hilarious crashes taking place during his livestreams, but this fiery fail might be the worst of the lot. While summit is usually the one being chased down by the cops in Los Santos, as his character has made it pretty much routine for this type of thing to happen by now, this time things played out very differently. The police were busy chasing another vehicle, driving alongside the former CS:GO player for a while in their pursuit. Curious about where they were going, he followed them for a few moments – a decision that ultimately proved costly. Just a few moments later, about a half-mile down the same road, the idea of spectating the cops turned out to be a pretty bad idea as summit1g’s vehicle was rammed into and quickly burst into flames. He couldn’t help but laugh. “What the fuck man? Oh shit,” he said before the car exploded into flames, killing everyone nearby. “Why did you do this bro? Lawsuit bro. My bad. I want a lawyer.” This tremendous fail was made even funnier as his character kept bouncing up and down, off of the ground after the explosion. They’ll be hoping that the next time they get involved with the police, it doesn’t end quite so badly, but viewers will have enjoyed every second of it as the whole scene burst into flames.

Summit1g uses Sea of Thieves tactic to hilariously toy with Apex Legends player – Dexerto
Summit1g uses Sea of Thieves tactic to hilariously toy with Apex Legends player Summit1g / RespawnPopular streamer Jaryd ‘Sea of Thieves and he’s started using the same tactics in Apex Legends to pick up hilarious kills. The former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player built a reputation across the seven seas of being able to literally hide in plain sight, before picking off his enemies and stealing their loot. He doesn’t seem to have lost that touch, either, as he replicated the same type of disguise in Respawn’s battle royale game. Not only did he steal their loot, though, but the streamer also stole another player’s chance of being crowned the Apex Champion of Kings Canyon. Summit was initially shot from behind after trying to loot another player’s crate – which they leave behind after being eliminated – forcing him to retreat towards some rocks. From there, he sent out a number of decoys which confused his enemy. They had no idea where he’d disappeared to in this hilarious play, despite standing obviously in the corner before picking up the kill. It’s fair to say that the other player was completely bamboozled by the decoy tactic Summit adopted and if his Sea of Thieves plays are anything to go off, we can expect even more of these brilliant moments from the streamer in the future on Apex Legends.

Summit1g wrecked by the most unlikely weapon in Mordhau – “I hate my life” – Dexerto
Summit1g wrecked by the most unlikely weapon in Mordhau – “I hate my life” Triternion / Summit1gSea of Thieves, but that hasn’t stopped him from streaming other games like Mordhau on Twitch. However, one player with a very strange weapon might well have made him reconsider trying other titles. What is Mordhau? The popular streamer, who has over 3.8 million followers on Twitch at the time of writing, decided to try something different during his May 2 broadcast, playing Mordhau for all of his viewers. For those who aren’t aware, Mordhau is a medieval multiplayer combat game which was first released on April 29. Trying his hand in what he thought was a world of swords and other blades, Summit1g couldn’t believe his eyes when an enemy decided to strike him with the most unlikely of items. This encounter didn’t end well for Summit1g Approaching a group of warriors, the former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player couldn’t help but notice that one of the players had switched out his sword for a guitar, A few moments later, they started to attack him with it. “What the fuck?” Summit said, before using his sword to smash the guitar out of their hand. The enemy was adamant, though, waving his sword around for a brief moment to force the streamer backwards, so that they could reclaim the musical instrument. “You’re not going to beat me with this bro,” he added. The player then manoeuvred the guitar to use it as both a shield and a weapon, before striking him down. Will Summit continue playing Mordhau? “I hate my life so fucking much it’s unbelievable,” Summit1g said, laughing at what had just unfolded during his livestream. Whether or not Summit1g will continue to play the game in the future remains to be seen, but surely the guitar won’t scare him off too much. After all, it can also make for some hilarious moments. Just like the instruments in Sea of Thieves, players can play their own songs during combat. Who wouldn’t want to play a game where you’re getting hit by guitars?

Summit1g uses his CSGO skills to win intense 1v3 clutch in VR – Dexerto
Summit1g uses his CSGO skills to win intense 1v3 clutch in VR Star Twitch streamer and former CS:GO pro player Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar turned back the clock with an incredible 1v3 clutch in the virtual reality first-person-shooter Pavlov VR. When it comes to first-person-shooters, CSGO is the cream of the crop when it comes to worldwide popularity, despite the game not having changed too much over its many years of existence. However, that hasn’t stopped fans from modernizing it themselves, such as remaking the iconic Cache map in a virtual reality game called Pavlov VR, which itself is also an FPS. Naturally, summit1g, who competed in and streamed CSGO for several years, had to try out this VR version of Cache for himself, which he did in one of his recent streams. Proving that his FPS skills haven’t deteriorated yet, he wowed his viewers with an expertly-executed 1v3 clutch to win a crucial round. The only one alive on his team up against three enemy players with the bomb planted, summit found himself in a situation that would take a miracle to come out of victorious. He put his hand-eye coordination to good use by gunning down two of the players before rushing over to the bomb site to attempt the defuse. He was able to complete the sequence with just five seconds left and a tick before the final enemy got to the site, completing the incredible clutch. What made the whole thing even more fun to watch was the fact that summit had to actually move his hand around in the air and manually input the defuse code, which was hilarious sight in real life. Released in February of 2017, Pavlov VR is still in early-access mode, as developers Vankrupt Games continue to make improvements to it as virtual reality technology continues to advance. The game is currently available for purchase on Steam and is compatible with several VR devices, including Valve Index, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Windows Mixed Reality.

Summit1g unveils impressive $7500 sim racing rig Popular Twitch streamer Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar has revealed his impressive $7500 sim racing setup just weeks after getting into the genre. Former Counter-Strike pro Summit1g, now known for his variety streaming on Twitch, has just finished building the fundamental parts of his gorgeous sim racing rig. The variety streamer has dabbled across multiple gaming genres but has recently dived headfirst into the world of sim racing. However, despite getting started recently, the popular streamer has already splashed the cash and went all out on his first-ever sim racing setup. For the last two few weeks, Summit’s daily streams have been nonstop 12 hours of iRacing – a popular online simulation racing game. On November 13, the streamer took the day off to build his racing rig, and he absolutely hasn’t cut any corners on the cost. While there are more parts to arrive to complete the full setup, it’ll be approximately worth $7500 once it’s all done. After 13 grueling hours of struggling to build the rig, most of it was finally done and Summit took to Twitter to unveil it to his followers. Summit1g’s sim racing rig While the majority of the setup is done – which has so far cost $4700 – Summit is still waiting for more parts to arrive from realistic sim racing hardware provider Fanatec. Next Level Racing GTtrack Cockpit – $937.00 – Next Level Racing FGT Elite Quad Monitor Stand – $800.00 – Logitech G920 Driving Wheel and Pedals – $300.00 – Elgato Streamdeck – $150.00 – 4x HP X24ih IPS Gaming Monitor – $1020.00 – Sim Racing PC – $1500.00 – The new wheel that’s on the way alone could’ve set the streamer back an extra $2300 depending on which model he opted for. If he also decides to go with new pedals and shifters, it will certainly surpass the $7500 mark by then.

Summit1g uses hilarious tactic to yoink team’s loot on Sea of Thieves – Dexerto
Summit1g uses hilarious tactic to yoink team’s loot on Sea of Thieves Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar has carried some amazingly stealthy heists in his time playing Sea of Thieves, but this one might be the funniest he’s completed so far. The popular streamer had hopped aboard a random crew’s Galleon and decided to lay in his usual spot, behind the chair in the captain’s quarters. But, unlike many other of his loot yoinks in the past where he would hide from the team and swipe their chests while they were distracted, Lazar somehow convinced them to just hand their chests over by pretending to be one of their teammates! After sitting in the hiding spot for a while, Summit started to talk to the team of young Sea of Thieves players and worked out quickly what treasure they had on board. “Listen guys, I’ve been talking the whole time. I’m the guy in the white dress. We need to be slapping down an Athena quest if you want to get gold” he said, trying to convince them that he was part of their crew. “I’m the guy in the white dress, I’ve been your teammate for a while.” When the team started to question his allegiance and ask why he hadn’t been talking, he managed to convince them that he was another teammate who had just hooked up their microphone. Once he convinced them he was part of the team, Summit asked the crew to move their Captain’s Chests to the rowboat – ready for him to complete this incredible heist. The teammate who didn’t have a microphone connected spotted him in the captain’s quarters, took a shot, but Summit quickly fled the ship with the loot on the rowboat. Because they didn’t have a microphone, there was no way of the player letting his team know what was happening right under their noses. “That’s the problem with not having a mic on Sea of Thieves boys, gotta have a microphone or I will pretend to be you!” Summit concluded, as he rowed away with their chests. As he headed to the nearest outpost to cash in his rewards, he was spotted by the team he had just swindled. Summit used some quick thinking and turned on a voice changer, fooling them into thinking he was a different player. Once he cashed in their chest, they realized what was happening and started to fire at him, calling him a “son of a gun.” Unfortunately for the squad, it was too late. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Summit1g under fire for political correctness debate over Scarlett Johansson controversy – Dexerto
Summit1g under fire for political correctness debate over Scarlett Johansson controversy Summit1g – Twitter / Hot OnesTwitch streamer Jaryd ‘Summit1g‘ Lazar upset a lot of fans and fellow streamers on July 14 after ranting about political correctness, a day after actress Scarlett Johansson said she should be able ‘allowed to play any person’ in movies. Summit had a controversial Sunday afternoon on Twitter as he battled with fans all day about how actors should be able to play any role they want. The tweets started with an initial tweet revealing he argued with his girlfriend and her friends over the comments uttered by actress Scarlett Johansson. “Just got done arguing with my girlfriend and her friends over this stupid Scarlett shit,” he tweeted. “I’ll never understand the other side of this argument. I’m blown away.” Several fans and streamers tried their best to explain the other side of the argument, but it’s clear that Summit wasn’t going to have any of it. Just got done arguing w/ my gf and her friends over this stupid Scarlett shit. I’ll never understand the other side of this argument. I’m blown away. — summit1g (@summit1g) July 14, 2019 Twitch partner AnneMunition tried to explain it by giving an analogy of Twitch looking for someone just like Summit, but they hired her instead. “Okay so imagine Twitch has a big sponsored thing they’re doing and they need a guy name Jaryd from Colorado who’s about 30 years old, excels at FPS games and looks good in snapback,” she said. “And you’re like, score. that’s literally me. Now imagine Twitch hires me to do it instead.” okay so imagine Twitch has a big sponsored thing they’re doing and they need a guy named Jaryd from Colorado who’s about 30 years old, excels at FPS games and looks good in a snapback. and you’re like, score, that’s literally me now imagine Twitch hires me to do it instead — Anne Munition (@AnneMunition) July 14, 2019 Streamer FemSteph piggy-backed on that idea by comparing it to if somebody had to play the role of President Obama. “Would it be weird if Matt Damon played the role of Obama in a movie,” she asked. “Based off your argument, he’s a great actor and so it shouldn’t be an issue, right?” Summit responded saying he would be okay with that. “Roles have been (taken) by other races and sex and I’m fine with it.” Lol…roles have been takin by other races and sex and I’m fine with it. — summit1g (@summit1g) July 14, 2019 TriHex tried to explain to Summit that while Johansson is a top-tier actor and has the right to play anything, it is saddening to him when he sees a genuine opportunity for some to play an LGBTQ role, but it goes to a straight male or female. Summit countered by saying it should be about the money they bring in above all else, and said that’s all it boils down to. https://t.co/dgjKN4L2TG I’ll try my best to help: Scarlette Johanson technically has the right to play/depict anything she chooses or has the opportunity to do so. However, this is under the assumption others from various disenfranchised backgrounds would too. They don’t. (1/6) — RIP Etika :pray: (@trihex) July 14, 2019 You don’t get special treatment just cuz. Show why you can make the money for the movie. That’s all it comes down to. — summit1g (@summit1g) July 14, 2019 He ended the discussion on Twitter by saying his agent told him to. “Agent told me to stfu now,” he said. “I’ll end with this. It’s a fucking movie. GGs good talks.” Agent told me to stfu now. I’ll end with this. It’s a fucking movie. GGs good talks. — summit1g (@summit1g) July 14, 2019 This will likely not be the last we hear of the situation so we’ll keep you posted on what develops next.

Summit1g uninstalls Halo saying he’s “done with this sh*t” – Dexerto
Summit1g uninstalls Halo saying he’s “done with this sh*t” Popular Twitch streamer Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar hilariously uninstalled Halo Reach on PC, slamming the game as a failure and claiming it “sucks huge wiener”. Summit1g is one of the most passionate members of the streaming community, never afraid to share his opinion or criticize a game where he thinks necessary. He has already criticized Halo Reach’s re-release on PC, explaining that it has been a failure. December 3 saw Halo Reach transition over to PC, as Microsoft cemented their efforts to reincarnate Bungie’s 2010 title. It was released as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, but has received mixed reviews from the community. On December 20, summit stepped up his criticism of Halo: Reach on PC, ultimately uninstalling the game, much to the amusement of his watching audience. “Listen, I’m done with this sh*t,” Lazar told his watching audience. “It’s over, sh*t sucks. How do you f*cking uninstall this thing? I’m done with it. It’s done-zoed. This game sucks huge wiener. I’m super f*cking over it.” He then uninstalled the game, just over two weeks since it made the unprecedented switch to PC. While uninstalling the game sent a clear message to both Bungie and Microsoft, Lazar expanded on his views, explaining that he wants to play a ‘real game’ instead. “It should never be mouse and keyboard,” he said. “It should f*cking never… I’m gonna be coming back to GTA real soon based on all this sh*t.” Summit has spent much of this holiday period playing Halo and Sea of Thieves, but many fans want to see him make a return to Grand Theft Auto RP, a game in which he has delighted fans regularly. Whether or not the streamer will change his mind about Halo in the near future remains to be seen, but it looks increasingly likely that we’ll see him make a return to GTA RP as Halo has plummeted out of favor with the 32-year-old.

Summit1g trolls Nadeshot after finding his double in GTA RP – Dexerto
Summit1g trolls Nadeshot after finding his double in GTA RP Twitch: Summit1g/100 ThievesTwitch star Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar couldn’t contain himself after running into a double of Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag in GTA RP, with the character even mocking 100 Thieves as ‘100 Nerds’. In GTA RP, streamers and content creators typically create character who are completely different from themselves, as it adds more fun to things. Some go that one step further and make a parody of somebody they know, even themselves, or a popular figure from elsewhere. Well, in NoPixel, someone made a character that looks exactly like 100 Thieves’ Nadeshot and after running into him, Summit1g couldn’t help but laugh at what he was seeing. Yoooooo it was so much fun running into my guy @Nadeshot in NoPixel. Knew you’d love it man. pic.twitter.com/Dvnp2YRNAU — summit1g (@summit1g) June 4, 2021 The hilarious encounter came on June 3 as Summit was playing on his John Charleston character and other streamers were running through a few typical ‘Summit big head’ jokes at his expense. Many of Summit’s fans immediately pointed out that the random character looked like exactly like Nadeshot, which prompted Summit to start laughing uncontrollably. He even got the character to put his hat on and cover up a ridiculous hairstyle, which only further cemented his lookalike status. “He does kind of look like him, right,” Summit said. “Oh s**t, holy s**t! Hold on,” he added, before wheezing with laughter. Different cop characters started surrounding the lookalike, poking fun at themselves for being well known for playing video games, but directing it at Nade. “It’s because I may or may not own a gaming organization called 100 Nerds,” the lookalike said, prompting further jokes from Summit and MOONMOON as they continued to play up to the fun of the random encounter. The real-life Nade might not take the step into joining the popular GTA RP server, but his lookalike will live on, virtually, of course. Aside from the former CoD pro, we’ve also seen Dr Disrespect be hilariously cosplayed in NoPixel, as to who might be next, is anyone’s guess.

Summit1g trolled by DayZ modders invading his game with Christmas trees – Dexerto
Summit1g trolled by DayZ modders invading his game with Christmas trees Twitch: Summit1gDayZ fans got their own back on streaming superstar Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar, after he went on a rant about the abundance of trees – specifically Christmas trees – in the game. Summit has returned to DayZ after a few years away from it, in what started as somewhat of a throwback, but he’s now dived right back in. But, there was no honeymoon phase this time, and it didn’t take long for Lazar to make his feelings known about the game’s current state. And, his opinions sparked some debate on social media. On September 6, he tweeted “DayZ needs to remove 50% of their trees and 80% of the Christmas trees.” DayZ needs to remove 50% of their trees and 80% of the Christmas trees. Never had worse forest battles or tracking ppl in any game. — summit1g (@summit1g) September 6, 2020 There was some controversy around this tweet, mainly because some longtime DayZ players thought it wasn’t right that a part-timer like Summit1g come in and start making demands. Some were also worried that the developers would take Summit’s feedback onboard more than that of ‘dedicated’ players. Seeing all the furor about this, some people thought that the developers were playing a trick on him, by dropping Christmas trees in his lobby. Decided to take a 10 minute break. Right as I did, this happened. DayZ is TROLLIN me about my Xmas tree rant. pic.twitter.com/RxEkJMXj9Q — summit1g (@summit1g) September 9, 2020 Although it would have been great fun, it looks like this wasn’t the responsibility of the devs after all, but instead some pesky modders playing the joke. Think one of the mods I installed for a server may be behind it? — summit1g (@summit1g) September 9, 2020 On his stream, he didn’t even notice all the 1G ornaments at first, until he came back from his ten-minute break. As he sat back down to watch, he was totally confused, at first also believing it must have been the developers playing a trick on him. He has been streaming DayZ almost exclusively for over a week now, and enjoying the return to his old stomping grounds. But, he definitely isn’t afraid to share his thoughts on the game’s current state. On September 8, developers Bohemia rolled out update 1.09, adding new content, including the Desert Eagle and Revolver.

Summit1g trolls Escape from Tarkov camper – “He just sh*t himself” – Dexerto
Summit1g trolls Escape from Tarkov camper – “He just sh*t himself” Twitch: Summit1gTwitch star Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar took time out of his Escape from Tarkov raid exit to troll a fellow player that he just happened to come across. While plenty of summit’s four million followers tune in to his streams to watch him pull off high-level gameplay, others simply tune in for his entertaining and chill vibe. That entertainment can usually come from him messing up, making a funny comment about something in the game he’s playing, or getting back into his dastardly ways of trolling. Summit has already pulled off some classic moments in recent weeks – mainly in Sea of Thieves, helping players to eliminate themselves and drawing some pretty crude images. Thankfully for his viewers, he’s managed to carry it over into the intense gameplay of Escape from Tarkov. During his January 16 broadcast, the popular variety streamer had been on a solo raid when he stumbled across what appeared to be some free loot. While he may have initially assumed it was a fallen foe’s body, it wasn’t – the enemy player was just lying prone on the grass and watching for others. So, summit grabbed the stealthy opportunity with both hands, dropping to the floor himself and crawling right up behind them without making any sound. For a moment, he just lay there, waiting to see if the player would notice and react. After a few moments though, summit took the chance to ruin the enemy player’s day – sliding out from behind them and popping a few bullets into their head. As he realized how dastardly it was, the streamer burst out laughing before one member of his chat joked that the fallen player must have been given a shock. “He just sh*t himself for sure, one hundred percent,” summit said behind his laughing fit. “Hundred percent crapped himself.” With a sneaky kill in his pocket, the streamer quickly moved to loot his fallen enemy – securing a pretty valuable key and some much-needed items as well. He may never get so lucky with a kill while he continues playing Tarkov, but at the very least summit should be scouring the long grass a bit more in the future.

Summit1g thinks Sea of Thieves could kill their game with new Xbox option – Dexerto
Summit1g thinks Sea of Thieves could kill their game with new Xbox option Streamer Jaryd ‘summit1g‘ Lazar, who has become the most popular Sea of Thieves streamer on Twitch at the start of 2019, worries that the developers might kill their own game with their latest decision. It was announced on January 30 that players will have the option to turn off Xbox and PC cross-play, a feature that so far has been turned on by default with no option to switch. The move to allow players to turn off cross-play is due to the arrival of a ‘competitive PvP’ mode, where having a level playing field is perhaps more important. It will mean that controller wielding players won’t have to face off against the more precise keyboard and mouse players, who can also enjoy higher frame rates, unrestricted by the Xbox’s 60 fps cap. But summit1g is concerned that the player base is not large enough to endure such a drastic split of the community, and worries that it could kill the game’s momentum. With a smaller PC population, summit reckons the PC servers could be ’empty’ following the option to turn cross-play off. SOT shooting themselves in the foot by splitting their community. XBOX players next update can opt out of playing w/ PC players. Seas about to be empty on PC. — summit1g (@summit1g) February 2, 2019 Many other popular streamers agreed, shocked to hear that the developers, Rare, were taking this action on cross-play. WAIT WHAT?! – Why would you ever do this? @RareLtd @Xbox — Jack “”CouRage”” Dunlop (@CouRageJD) February 2, 2019 The option to turn off cross-play will not be arriving “right away”, but will be implemented before the new Arena mode is added, Rare stated in their dev update. What concerns players though, is that the option is not limited to Arena, the competitive mode, but “across the entire game”.

Summit1g’s thrilling GTA RP police chase ends in huge disaster – Dexerto
Summit1g’s thrilling GTA RP police chase ends in huge disaster Summit1g / Twitter, TwitchJaryd ‘Sea of Thieves plays in the past, bamboozling other players, but his plan to make a mockery of the Grand Theft Auto RP police force never exactly went to plan. The variety Twitch streamer has rekindled his love for GTA RP in recent weeks which means his popular Charles Johnson character is back on the loose in the NoPixel server. While he’s already been caught up in hilarious botched presentations where a player was killed, and even a failed bank heist, this police chase might be the best thing viewers have seen since his return. Summit was driving away from them at full speed along a bridge near the mountain range before, in typical fashion, he drove his vehicle right off the road and it came crashing down. His fans usually love to see these types of crashes but one police officer was waiting for him at the bottom on a motorbike, forcing the streamer into some improv. After whacking out his taser, the former CS:GO player stunned one of the cops before reinforcements arrived – giving him leverage. “Put your fucking hands up. Give me your fucking keys,” he said before teammates started to fire at him. “Tell your cops to don’t fucking move. Tell your friend to stop fucking shooting.” In what proved to be a very strange interaction with the GTA RP police officers, summit1g later handcuffed the captured player and threatened to kill them if they didn’t let him go. “Don’t fucking shoot bro. I’ll fucking cap him” he shouted in a strange voice. “Please don’t do anything stupid. Just honor the demands alright,” the officer told his team. “I got a daughter.” A few moments later he was handed maybe a better deal than what he was bargaining for, as one officer pulled up in a car and told him it was his. So, he drove away from the situation. Just after they rode away in the car, a helicopter appeared above them and they managed to outpace it in a sedan, which was quite surprising for both viewers and the streamer. However, the whole plan soon fell apart once they started to drive through a tunnel and the vehicle exploded in a devastating crash – leaving summit stunned. “You are kidding me right now, man. Oh my god. This the worst fucking thing ever. Holy shit,” he said, before claiming to sever ties with the driver. “After he’s gone, he’s gone.” If both players were planning on escaping the cops in this amazing chase, it’s fair to say that this wasn’t quite the ending they were expecting.

Summit1g explains why fans are going to ruin The Division 2 – Dexerto
Summit1g explains why fans are going to ruin The Division 2 Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazaris has had his say on upcoming game Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, and thinks the developers need to learn from mistakes they made with the first game. The Division 2 is set to release in March, and will see players leave New York and head to Washington D.C. where the capital city is overrun by enemy marauders and mercenaries. However, Lazaris doesn’t appear to be excited at the prospect of the new title, and looked back to the original game to give his thoughts on what Ubisoft have done wrong with the franchise – specifically with the game’s player-vs-player area, the Dark Zone. “You want to know what happened chat?” summit1g told his chat. “They came out with the first Division and it was super popular, and then it started dying out like any game would. “They started listening to the stupid fucking Reddit threads with these fucking crybabies that are complaining that they don’t like going into the Dark Zone because all these guys have really good loot. That’s why there is different sections of the fucking Dark Zone. Ones where noobs hang out, and ones where the top guys hang out. “The top guys roam down there and shit down your throat? Well, sucks to be you bro, you’ve got to gear up. Stop catering to these people. There’s a reason our games are in the state that it’s in, your casual fans don’t know what the game needs,” concluded Lazaris. While summit1g seems unlikely to be picking up The Division 2, the streamer has been grinding Sea of Thieves, on which he has pulled off some incredible and hilarious plays. The streamer has managed to swindle a number of teams into handing over their gold to him, and even made “the greatest play of all time” – according to himself – thanks to the help of a Megladon.

Summit1g takes shots at ‘elitist’ GTA RP players following brother’s ban – Dexerto
Summit1g takes shots at ‘elitist’ GTA RP players following brother’s ban Rockstar Games/Summit1gPopular Twitch streamer Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar isn’t feeling the vibe from the GTA RP server he plays on after his younger brother was struck down with a ban. Grand Theft Auto roleplay, a multiplayer mod for the PC version of GTA V, recently returned to popularity on Twitch, with a number of high profile streamer running around Los Santos as a character of their own. However, after a warm start to life, things have seemingly taken a sour turn after Summit’s younger brother, Jacob ‘Kite61’ Lazar, was temporarily removed from the server. After some lackluster RP encounters, Jacob’s in-game character – Rusty – was reported to the servers mods and struck down with a three-day temporary ban. Summit took issue with that – pointing out that it would have been easier to explain where his brother had gone wrong instead of kicking him to the curb for a couple of days. “It feels very elitist to me,” added Summit later in his stream, as he continued to air his grievances about what had happened. “Like, there comes a time chat in every single video game that you ever play that when somebody gets to a certain skill level, it’s almost like they think they’re a better person than in real-fucking-life, you know what I mean – because he’s so good at this video game. That’s kind of the vibe I’m getting.” It’s not the first issue that Summit has had with the GTA RP servers. On March 21, the streamer made his feelings known about another player in the NoPixel server, Lil Loco, slamming how the controversial character was played in-game. While GTA RP is currently one of the most popular titles on Twitch, it remains to be seen if any of the drama does some damage to the popularity of the mod – with viewers potentially walking away from any toxicity.

Summit1g terrified by non-stop jumpscares in hilarious horror game stream – Dexerto
Summit1g terrified by non-stop jumpscares in hilarious horror game stream Summit1g, Twitch / CrytekJaryd ‘GTA RP during a Twitch stream on September 3, instead jumping into the world of Hunt: Showdown to find just how terrifying the game can be. The popular first-person survival game was released on August 27, and throws a number of different obstacles in front of players including human characters, dead walkers, as well as wild beasts from the woods. Having played it, it’s fair to say that summit now knows just how unpredictable the game is, after providing his viewers with some hilarious jump scares. For the former CS:GO pro player, it didn’t seem to matter if it was night or day in-game, with the streamer utterly terrified at a number of moments throughout the game regardless of the light levels. His first scare came when venturing through a settlement, where he found some chained up animals which could have eaten him alive if let loose. After jumping over a wall to escape the area, it appeared that he was alone in the fields until he heard a huge gunshot whizz past his character’s head. “Wooo! Ooo! I’m hit. I’m hit,” he yelled, before being shot dead. “That was a bad spot to get fucking caught out dude. That was a bad game.” The former CS:GO player wasn’t going to stop there, as he dived back into the bounty hunter game, only to experience another shock just seven minutes later. This time, there was a big difference, though, as it was in complete darkness. As he approached a number of abandoned buildings, and as place appeared to be empty, he set his sights on reaching some high ground. After hopping over a fence, he dropped into a pit with what looked like a zombie. Once he appeared to have escaped that situation and climbed up a ladder, his character was attacked out of nowhere. At this point, he had jumped into a pit with the dead and even been shot dead, but the most unexpected moment had yet to materialize. “Wait, what was that? I don’t know what that noise is,” a nervous summit asked his chat. Soon after, the streamer was given yet another jump scare as he turned around to see a burning zombie sprinting right at him. Luckily, he managed to escape its grasp. There’s no doubt that the streamer enjoyed the break from GTA RP, despite the hilarious and sometimes scary moments, but it’s unknown as to whether or not we’ll see even more Hunt: Showdown on his Twitch channel in the future.

Summit1g shocks Sea of Thieves crew as he flies in and steals loot in amazing play – Dexerto
Summit1g shocks Sea of Thieves crew as he flies in and steals loot in amazing play Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar’s quest to steal Athena Chests from people across the Sea of Thieves map has produced some incredible moments so far, but not many as exciting as this one. The popular streamer, who is a retired professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player, has been making a mockery of teams by taking their loot from right under their noses as of late. We’ve seen him escape without being caught, he’s been chased after teams have found their loot missing and in this video, he swoops in and takes Athena Chests from a group of players who are at their most vulnerable – as they’re just about to cash them in. After spotting a Galleon anchored right next to Golden Sands Outpost, Summit used a cannon to fire himself over to see if he could spot anybody on the island. He quickly worked out that the building in the middle of the island was where players would most likely be if they had Athena Chests with them. But, the coast seemed to be clear, “no-one in here” he said. As he swung out of the room, a player who was oblivious to Summit’s presence came rushing past with a chest in-hand and the streamer quickly took him out, just a few steps away from reaching the point where you can cash in the loot. Read More: Summit1g pulls off heist of the century in Sea of Thieves, escapes in row boat with crew’s loot – To seal the brilliant play from Summit’s crew, another player came rushing around the corner with a second Athena Chest and was also killed. Two Athena’s stolen in the nick of time, just seconds before they were to be cashed in. Summit has been making this type of thing a regular occurrence on Sea of Thieves, but nothing beats his hilarious rowboat tactic. Usually, the streamer will wait in the map room of the crew he is about to loot, sit tight as he works out where they’re going next and as they become pre-occupied with what they’re doing, he swoops all of their loot into a rowboat at the back of their Galleon and takes off. You just can’t stop him.

Summit1g stunned in GTA RP as player dies during botched presentation – Dexerto
Summit1g stunned in GTA RP as player dies during botched presentation Summit1g, TwitchJaryd ‘Grand Theft Auto RP and while many fans might have already expected some exciting gameplay, not many would have expected to see another player killed on screen. The Twitch streamer has been juggling the online roleplaying game and Sea of Thieves during the latter stages of July, with it looking increasingly likely that he will continue to play both of them moving forward. For a few moments during his July 27 broadcast it appeared as if the former CS:GO player was about to witness a game changing new armor be unveiled, but that didn’t last long. Summit and a whole bunch of other GTA RP streamers gathered around as a man with a microphone started to build up the presentation of a new kevlar protective body suit, which he said would allow players to be protected from gunfire like never before. “Mr. Kevlar is going to demonstrate his new tactical armor and he’s going to be giving away over $10,000,” he said, before handing over to the shooter in the demonstration and starting a countdown. “I feel like somebody is going to accidentally shoot him in the face or something,” summit1g said, before the player in armor bounced off three consecutive body shots, but eventually dropped to the ground – seemingly dead. Everybody involved was left shocked by what had happened. At first, it looked like it was working, yet clearly that wasn’t to be the case. One player described it as “exciting” in their post-death analysis. Without any hesitation, though, the presenter of the demonstration moved on proceedings quickly in hilarious fashion, before all of the players went their separate ways. It’s fair to say that this demo never exactly went to plan. Whether or not summit1g will be staying on GTA RP to give his viewers even more of these funny interactions remains to be seen, but some fans will definitely be crossing their fingers.

Summit1g stunned as his ship performs crazy backflip in Sea of Thieves – Dexerto
Summit1g stunned as his ship performs crazy backflip in Sea of Thieves Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar has become well known for his incredible Sea of Thieves heists, but it seems like the game can still surprise the streamer with some interesting gameplay physics. Sea of Thieves has exploded over the past seven days as popular streamers continue to give the pirate adventure game a shot due to increasing frustration surrounding the current state of Fortnite. While many are making the switch to Sea of Thieves now, summit1g has been playing the open world title for months, but even he was shocked by a hilarious moment involving his own ship. Lazar was standing on the rear of his vessel, surveying the high seas around while searching for other pirates, when the ship began to be rocked by huge waves. Summit1g managed to remain on board for a moment, until the ship went speeding out from underneath him, plunging him into the ocean helplessly as his boat sped away from him. As Lazar tried to get above water, he was astounded to see the nose of his ship rise high into the air, performing a backflip and sailing through the sky away from him. “What?” yelled Summit in confusion, watching the situation unfold. “What just happened? It popped a wheelie dude, wheelied into space!” Just as it seemed that his ship had left him behind, the server he was playing on crashed, and when summit1g rejoined, he found himself back on his vessel as if nothing had ever happened. The streamer has seen huge success on Sea of Thieves, and recently hit 37,000 subscribers on the platform, dressing up as Captain Jack Sparrow to celebrate the achievement.

Summit1g stunned after finding his first impostor in GTA RP Summit1g, Shorty Awards / RockstarJaryd ‘summit1g‘ Lazar’s infamous character Charles Johnson has completed some of the biggest crimes ever seen in GTA RP, but even he couldn’t believe his eyes after discovering that his identity had been stolen. Johnson, who has picked up the nickname Chawa over the course of time, has co-ordinated a whole host of bank robberies, shop thefts and more in the NoPixel server, putting a large target on his own head. However, that hasn’t stopped another character from stream sniping his Twitch streams, watching how he designed the character, and creating an exact replica of him. While many players had spoken to summit before about an impostor running around Los Santos, when summit finally came in contact with him, it’s fair to say that things couldn’t have played out much better than they did. The popular Twitch streamer was hanging out with another player inside a car garage as a blacked out car came storming into the area, and it didn’t take long to realize that the person inside looked very familiar. “Oh hell no. You’re not talking to me right now. You got my sweater on. Oh hell no. You not got my pants on either dude?” he said, before taking a closer look. “Let me see those pants. Close. Wait, are they? They are!! Holy shit, it’s me.” Once the player realized that he had been found out, they said: “I’m out of here” before jumping back in the vehicle and speeding away. “People are going to think that that guy is Charles for sure,” summit1g added, laughing at the situation overall as the impostor left. While it’s a funny thing to see in GTA RP and certainly not something you’re going to witness every day during these streams, it could have repercussions for the former CS:GO player later down the line if the impersonator gets into trouble and the police think that it’s him. The last thing Charles Johnson would want is to be involved in another shocking drive-by shooting because of something he didn’t do.

Summit1g stunned after Apex Legends bug ruins his game – Dexerto
Summit1g stunned after Apex Legends bug ruins his game Respawn / Summit1g, TwitchPopular streamer Jaryd ‘Summit1g‘ Lazar has had some crazy moments playing Apex Legends so far, but being killed by a bug might just be the worst yet. The popular battle royale game first launched on February 4 and has enjoyed a pretty smooth ride ever since, attracting not only a number of high profile streamers but over 25 million players overall. However, people are starting to stumble upon some very strange bugs in the game and Summit wasn’t very pleased when it was him affected by it. The former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive streamer was trying to save one of his teammates on Apex Legends, after he had been struck down, but little did he know that he was about to be eliminated from the game. Read More: Dr Disrespect takes aim at shroud ahead of upcoming Apex Legends Twitch Rivals tournament – As he was reviving JoshOG, the pair started to slide towards a nearby wall and were swiftly ejected from the game. “Oh fuck. I died to that,” Summit said, stunned after what had just happened. “We went into the ship as I was trying to res[cue] him. Un-fucking-real. Un-fucking-real.” This is not the first game-changing bug that has been encountered in Apex Legends though – with one player being handed a free win after being trapped in a ship too. Many fans will be hoping that Respawn Entertainment is working on fixes for an upcoming patch. Yet, there has been no official response to these bugs from the developer so far.

Summit1g speechless after insane GTA RP house robbery – Dexerto
Summit1g speechless after insane GTA RP house robbery Background: RockstarGrand Theft Auto RP might bring out the weird and the wonderful from the fictional world of Los Santos, but it’s proving to be a perfect game for Jaryd ‘Summit1G’ Lazar to strengthen his looting skills. The popular streamer, who has been known to ‘yoink’ one or two in-game valuables from other players on Sea of Thieves in the past, showed that he hasn’t lost a step in the looting game during his April 17 stream. Summit quietly snuck around somebody else’s house and started to slowly manoeuvre his way around the building, keeping quiet to avoid waking a guy who was sleeping right in the living room. However, he couldn’t contain his excitement after what happened next. What did Summit1g find? After browsing through cabinets and finding $2,200 in the fridge, Summit decided to try out the coffee table right next to the couch. That’s where he came across the mother lode. “Four hundred dollars… What?” he said, before scrolling through the other items. “A shotgun? Three shotguns! Three shotguns? What?” The shotguns, as well as the other items he found, are worth around $20,000 in total. Summit grabbed the loot and swiftly made his way to the exit, knowing that the shotguns could be worth even more if he used them to steal from stores. Read More: Will Dr Disrespect be switching to GTA RP? – “That’s fucking nuts,” he added. “We have got to get the fuck out of here. If I get found with three shotguns on me… I’m dead. This house is crazy.” What is GTA RP? For those who aren’t aware, GTA RP is a roleplaying modification which turns the Rockstar game into a world of different online characters. In this mode, money isn’t as easy to come by as it might be in GTA Online – where you can simply purchase some from the online store. So, finding three shotguns of this value was obviously a big deal for the streamer.

Summit1g storms off after miserable fail in Escape from Tarkov – Dexerto
Summit1g storms off after miserable fail in Escape from Tarkov Twitch legend Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar stormed away from his streaming setup to cool off after an epic fail on Escape from Tarkov on January 11. Summit1g has been at the top of Twitch for a number of years, to the point where he is considered by many as the best streamer of the last decade. He has never been tied to one title in particular, mixing and matching games based on what he’s enjoying and what his audience wants to watch. This is a trait he has demonstrated recently, playing Battlestate Games’ Escape from Tarkov, as a host of the biggest streamers in the world flock to the tactical first-person shooter. While feedback from streamers about Escape from Tarkov has been overwhelmingly positive – with even notoriously critical Dr Disrespect praising the game – summit was left fuming after a miserable fail on January 11. Noticing an enemy just down the road from him, summit lines up his sights to pick up the kill. However, he misses multiple shots and the enemy simply turns and headshots the streamer in a flash, seeing Lazar’s character instantly killed. In response, Lazar jumps to his feet, takes his headset off and runs out of camera view, seemingly to avoid another iconic ‘summit smash’ moment. For a moment Lazar looks as if he’s going to hit his gaming chair, but he quickly leaves the frame to give himself time to cool down. Returning to his seat shortly after, summit explains what went wrong: “I was shooting to his left,” he said. “I swear that last shot hit. I’m so glad I loaded up for that.” “I hit no shots,” the 32-year-old finished. “I deserved that. He stood completely still for me. Escape from Tarkov is the only game I feel can cr*p on me all day long without letting up.” Despite launching back in the summer of 2016, Escape from Tarkov has found a new lease of life among streamers, after multiple big names joined Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek on the tactical FPS. Summit was one of these big names. Despite his clear anger at the game, he has been loving the title of late and it seems probable we’ll see him playing it again soon.

Summit1g speechless after hilarious Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order fail – Dexerto
Summit1g speechless after hilarious Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order fail Twitch star Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar was left red in the face after falling to a hilarious death in the new Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order game. When it comes to variety streaming on Twitch, summit1g is right up there with some of the platform’s biggest names. The streamer, who has over four million followers on his channel, can be found playing pretty much anything from new releases like Star Wars to Counter-Strike, his first love. While he regularly dominates games with ease, he still endures plenty of gaming moments in which he’d like to have his time back and try again. That seemed to be the case during his November 17 stream when Lazar tried to jumpstart the next part of his Star Wars playthrough, only to fall, literally, flat on his face. It all began when the popular streamer ran into the game’s giant Shyyo bird. As anyone who has played the latest Star Wars release will know, you’ll see some of the game’s most stunning scenery at this point. However, summit had other plans and they didn’t involve admiring the view. After rummaging around for some lightsaber loot, he made his way towards the awaiting bird and tried to hop on its back, calling out: “Let’s roll, bird man!” He let his eagerness to move forwards get the better of him, as the former CS:GO player watched his character fall right through the creature’s body and fly towards the ground. While his chat laughed at his misery, the streamer reset and tried again. The second time around, he didn’t make the same mistake, as he waited for the game to prompt him into hitching a ride. Thankfully, though, even summit could see the funny side of things and he began chuckling to himself as the game’s cutscene started up. The fail gave his loyal viewers yet another highlight clip to laugh at, but it didn’t deter Lazar from marching onwards with his playthrough of Star Wars. It may serve as a warning, however, to perhaps be a little more patient as you never know what the game will want you to do. Surely now, his viewers won’t make the same mistake.

Summit1g slams Escape from Tarkov devs over Scav spawns and poor servers – Dexerto
Summit1g slams Escape from Tarkov devs over Scav spawns and poor servers Twitch: summit1g / BattleState gamesTwitch star Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar let the Escape from Tarkov devs have it after a disappointing game featuring a swarm of Scavs and annoying server issues. Summit1g is a huge fan of Escape from Tarkov and has been playing the game almost non-stop since the start of 2020. However, this doesn’t stop him from occasionally lashing out at the devs over key issues. The American couldn’t help but call BattleState Games out after meeting a relentless wave of Scavs during a run, before being hit with an annoying server issue which stopped him from playing the game. During his usual Tarkov stream on March 3, Jaryd found himself attacked by nothing but Scavs on Interchange – a very popular map that is usually filled with players. After taking out countless NPC enemies, one finally got a hit in and killed summit, causing him to lash out at the game and its devs. “Oh, I’m done boys… f**cking unbelievable, you’re kidding! F**cking what?! Such a load of sh*t.” He began, before diving into the issue. “The game doesn’t show me a single f**cking player for the entire f**king game. Not a single f**king player in that game dude. Scavs everywhere, won’t stop coming, won’t stop spawning, just a continuous circlejerk, like come the f**k on. When a Scav dies can he just die, not spawn a f**king brother on the map?” It was easy to see summit’s frustration building up as he continued his complaints, eventually hitting out at the devs. “How many Scavs do I have to kill to get loot around there? And look, the game doesn’t even know I’m dead, that’s how great your f**king servers are.” The American even went as far as to stop playing the game completely and went on to stream GTA, a game that he’s been getting back into recently. However, fans can likely expect him to return to Tarkov during his next stream as its clear summit1g still loves the game, even if he finds it frustrating at times.

Summit1g slams GTA RP’s “crazy” stream sniping issues – Dexerto
Summit1g slams GTA RP’s “crazy” stream sniping issues Twitch: Summit1g / Rockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto V’s RP mod remains a popular trend on Twitch, but for Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar stream snipers are turning the whole experience sour. Summit1g is one of Twitch’s biggest streamers with almost four million followers, and has dipped in and out of GTA RP since it returned to the forefront of the streaming platform in 2019. Fans of the streamer may have noticed that he hasn’t been role playing just as often in recent weeks, and it appears that issues with stream snipers have been the resounding reason for his breaks away from the multiplayer mod. After robbing a store in the game and attempting to hide from the cops, the 32-year-old’s character Charles Johnson was hunted down by the police, and placed under arrest for his crimes. Summit1g was immediately annoyed by this, discussing how often he was being found by police, hinting that it wasn’t dumb luck that was leading other players to his location. “Is this just a coincidence?” the Twitch streamer asked his chat. “I don’t understand. In the last four days, I’ve escaped the cops probably 10 different times, and I swear I get caught hiding every time. Whether it’s far away or close to the scene.” After finding himself locked in a cell, with his cash taken from by the officers, Lazar launched into a tirade about the issue of stream snipers – an issue that has clearly rattled the streamer. The American fumed: “Listen chat, let me be real with you for one second. I’m not accusing anyone of anything, but let’s not pretend that it isn’t the easiest fucking thing on the planet – especially when it’s an RP server and you turn your camera off. I can have 18 cellphones lined up across my fucking table and tell you where everyone and their fucking mom is, alright?” “Holy shit, it’s been happening crazy amounts dude.” Unfortunately for summit1g, stream snipers are part and parcel of broadcasting your gameplay on Twitch, and while placing a delay on your stream to make it harder for cheaters to watch you in real time, it does cause a disconnect between the creator and their chat.

Summit1g slams “dipshit” trolls after donator makes vile ‘joke’ – Dexerto
Summit1g slams “dipshit” trolls after donator makes vile ‘joke’ Twitch: Summit1gTwitch streamer Jaryd ‘summit1g‘ Lazar hit out at a troll donator on his June 28 stream, explaining that such individuals, who sit guarded behind their computer screens, can have a deep, negative impact on the internet stars of today. Summit’s comments come only days after the tragic death of YouTuber and streamer Desmond Daniel ‘Etika’ Amofah, who took his own life at the age of 29 on June 19. Months of very public breakdowns and mental health problems prior to his suicide left many asking why more wasn’t done to help, when the signs were clear to see, and, as summit1g argues, there is blame to be placed with the many online trolls who target not only Etika, but all online figures. After a particularly disrespectful donation came in from a user aptly named ‘offensivejoke’, mocking Etika’s passing, summit quickly banned them, before explaining to his viewers why a single comment like that was part of a bigger problem. “I wouldn’t even call that a joke. I would say that you are one of the people who failed him [Etika],” Lazar stated, recommending his viewers read Richard Lewis’ sobering account of how the internet failed Etika. “The internet is a huge, huge reason for this even happening,” the streamer continued, “It’s real sad, that dipshits like you take things for granted behind your fucking computer screen because you think you’re safe, because nobody knows who you are.” “You shit on others who put themselves out there, we’re the ones sitting out here talking, and you just sit there in your dumbass basement,” summit concluded, telling the troll “you are the reason my friend.” As a veteran of streaming, summit1g has undoubtedly experienced more than his fair share of hate, trolls, and negativity from a small minority of ‘fans’. While he has millions of loyal and supportive fans too, it is often the negative minority who are loudest. Although summit is rarely one to complain about ‘haters’, the passing of Etika will have prompted a realization among many popular online figures that it’s important to be wary of negative influences and how they can affect their mental wellbeing. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, or know someone that is, and you would like to talk to someone, please reach out and call the Suicide Prevention Helpline 1-800-273-8255 (USA) or the Samaritans 116-123 (UK).

Summit1G slams EA over Anthem microtransactions – Dexerto
Summit1G slams EA over Anthem microtransactions BioWare/Summit1GTwitch streamer Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar has slammed EA for its reported microtransactions in the upcoming release of Anthem. Anthem is BioWare’s big upcoming release and a step away from what the studio does with Mass Effect but the game has already been roundly criticized from all corners before its release. The recent ‘VIP demo’ weekend suffered a number of problems, streamers like Michael ‘poured cold water over its chances at success and the game has already had its in-game microtransactions menu leaked, showing skins in the game won’t exactly be cheap. Microtransactions are, as ever, a touchy subject but one everyone has an opinion on them – including Summit1g. Responding to a comment in his chat about the ‘leaked’ microtransactions for Anthem, Summit said: “I mean, I don’t know why we expect anything different. You think EA is just one day going to fucking grow a god damn heart or brain? They’re just going to keep doing what they do and make that money, feel me? “They don’t care about their reputation man. Or, at least, whoever is leading the way over there doesn’t care about reputation.” The screenshot leak of the microtransactions was posted to the game’s subreddit on January 25 – showing in-game ‘shards’ costing $1 per hundred and skins for the in-game Javelins at around $20. The backlash from the apparent pricing in the photo prompted a response from BioWare. Senior Systems Designer Chris Schmidt commented on Reddit about the leak: “Hey there! One thing to keep in mind is these don’t represent final, stamped for all of eternity pricing. We are iterating on our economy design and balance almost daily, so you’re seeing a snapshot of one iteration. Read More: Dr Disrespect slams EA in rant about Anthem – “This is why we tend to not discuss things like pricing,” Schmidt explains, “because it’s one of those iterative things that’s sure to change frequently right up until the day you play the game.” BioWare has previously stated that no items for the game will be locked exclusively behind the shards currency and can be earned through in-game progression. How long those unlocks take remains to be seen but with less than a month until players will get their hands on Anthem, BioWare and EA may have to make some significant changes to the planned paid economy of the game.

Summit1g shuts down rumors he’s quitting Twitch after clip goes viral – Dexerto
Summit1g shuts down rumors he’s quitting Twitch after clip goes viral summit1gA viral clip of Twitch streamer Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar had put much of his community on notice, stating he was going to quit streaming to pursue another passion, though he’s now moved to debunk those rumors. Summit is one of the most popular variety streamers on the platform. With over five million followers and a dedicated audience that tune into every stream on his channel, he’s become a household name in the Twitch community. As with any popular streamer, his viewers often like to clip entertaining parts of his stream to replay and share. A clip from one of summit’s latest streams went viral on November 18 as the video showed the streamer stating he was quitting Twitch to make a video game, which was obviously shocking for everybody who follows the former CSGO player. Summit shuts down rumors he is quitting Twitch Twitch clips are a great feature that can be used to capture interesting and exciting moments from a stream. However, the clips themselves can often be taken out of context by wider audiences. That’s exactly what happened when summit decided to make a joke on stream about ending his contract with Twitch. During the viral trimmed video, he says: “I have decided that I am going to end my contract with Twitch and take on the next chapter of my life, which is making a video game. So, I’m out.” The clip is deceptively believable on its own without the context of the stream. Summit maintains a straight face and his body language suggests he’s revealing some huge news to his fanbase. However, the clip ends just before summit lets out a laugh about what he just said. He even goes onto talk about why quitting streaming as a whole would never make sense to him. Despite this, the clip garnered a lot of attention, spreading the rumor that summit was planning on quitting streaming. To clear up any false information, summit took to Twitter to confirm that the clip was being taken “out of context” and that he’s “not stopping anytime soon” if it’s up to him. I’m surprised so many ppl fell for an out of context clip of me quitting streaming. It was a joke, not stopping anytime soon if it’s up to me. Just wanted to clear that up in case ppl come to my twitter worried lol. — summit1g (@summit1g) November 19, 2020 Although this moment itself was a joke, the idea of summit making his own video game appealed to a lot of his fanbase. A number of his fans theorized in the replies to his tweet on what features a game made by summit would include. It’s fair to say that with all the games summit plays, he’d have a good idea of what players would be looking for in a title – having played hundreds of hours of Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Sea of Thieves, and other titles during his Twitch run. Battle royale with building except it has patch notes good updated and half decent servers 🤯 — NoahWPlays (@NoahWPlays) November 19, 2020 Rumors like this show how easy it is for false information to be spread, that’s for sure. It’s important for viewers to check multiple sources before taking the information in a clip as the full story. For now, the good news is that summit isn’t going anywhere – but it’s still a shame we won’t be getting a video game from him anytime soon.

Summit1g slams “bonkers” Lost Ark leveling grind with brutal New World comparison – Dexerto
Summit1g slams “bonkers” Lost Ark leveling grind with brutal New World comparison Smilegate RPGLost Ark is the latest MMO that is garnering a lot of attention from the gaming community, but Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar believes the current grind is even worse than New World. While the Lost Ark servers have only been up for a few days, adventurers like Summit1g have been busy leveling up their characters and taking on the game’s dungeons. While Lost Ark aims to set itself apart from other popular MMOs like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV, there are still plenty of familiar tropes. In fact, those that wish to reach Lost Ark’s end-game content will need to reach level 60. While this is achievable by following the game’s main questline, it can take a number of hours to achieve, especially if you aim to level multiple characters. Popular streamer, Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar, has voiced his concerns over the level grinding is in Lost Ark, noting that it is even worse than New World. Summit1g gives thoughts on Lost Ark leveling While many players have been enjoying their time in Lost Ark, not everyone is enamoured with the new MMO. In fact, Summit1g has been quick to point out just how slow and grindy the current character leveling is. The popular streamer was keen to draw parallels to New World – another MMO that caused issues among players due to its slow progression. “I played for like 11 to 12 hours or something like that, and it was just all the same sh*t. It was just crazy,” explained Summit1g. “Remember when New World got a bunch of shit about its leveling being so much of the same sh*t, right? Like, very repetitive. I just can’t believe no one is saying the same sh*t about [Lost Ark].” New World received a lot of hate from players, which was largely down to the lack of end-game content, and the amount of grinding needed to reach new milestones. While grinding mobs for experience has always been a pivotal feature to any MMO, Summit1g believes this trope is not a valid excuse. “It’s literally the same, I would say. Maybe even worse. When it comes to that specific thing, I’m not saying the game [is bad] in general. Like, the leveling diversity is f*cking bonkers bad. You can’t just blanket that by saying leveling sucks in all MMOs, you know what I’m saying? It’s like, that’s not an excuse to have sh*tty leveling.” Whether Lost Ark will make any adjustments to its leveling system remains to be seen, but for now, players will need to be prepared to put in a number of hours if they wish to max out their stats.

Summit1g shuts down Mixer rumors as he commits to Twitch – Dexerto
Summit1g shuts down Mixer rumors as he commits to Twitch summit1G TwitchJaryd ’summit1g’ Lazar will be staying on Twitch after signing a multiyear deal, putting to bed mounting speculation that he would make the move to Mixer. The streaming wars between industry natives and emerging competitors like Mixer, Facebook Gaming, Dlive, Caffeine and more have resulted in major contracts for the platforms’ biggest stars. While there aren’t specifics on summit’s deal, the streamer will continue his career on Twitch, where he’s become one of the site’s most watched personalities while streaming a variety of titles such as Valorant, Sea of Thieves, GTA RP and more. “Twitch is home, and hopefully always will be home,” summit1G said in a video announcing his deal. “So that being said, I’ll see you guys in the channel, and thanks again for letting me do what I do. I appreciate it very much.” This news comes after speculation that summit would be moving to Mixer or another site. This was especially prevalent in the mind of some fans, since the streamer provided what were cryptic statements at the time about his streaming career’s future – which now sound like messages of reassurance after his Twitch resigning announcement. “I appreciate it, my friend,” Summit said in reply to a fan who asked about him moving to Mixer. “Don’t worry mate, everything will be okay dudes.” At the time, Twitch and summit’s representatives at Loaded were working out the details of the new contract that could not yet be announced. Now that the ink has dried, however, there’s plenty of reason for Twitch to let out a sigh of relief that they’ll be holding onto one of their biggest names. https://twitter.com/summit1g/status/1265326840077414400 The competition in streaming has prompted Twitch to respond by re-signing streamers, themselves. The San Francisco-based platform locked down Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys, Ben ‘DrLupo’ Lupo and Timothy ‘TimTheTatman’ Betar in the months preceding summit’s exclusivity deal. Summit is joined by Brett ‘Dakotaz’ Hoffman and Josh ‘JoshOG’ Beaver, who also signed deals that will keep them on Twitch for years to come. After major moves by Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins and Michael ‘Shroud’ Grzesiek to Mixer, the feeling that no one was untouchable reverberated throughout streaming communities. While this is still true for a lot of the big names that have yet to sign with Twitch, summit and the rest of the new signees will be going live on the platform for the foreseeable future.

Summit1g shocked after learning some top streamers “snipe” for fun – Dexerto
Summit1g shocked after learning some top streamers “snipe” for fun Summit1G, Twitch / FreepikWith the advent of live streaming came the invention of “stream sniping,” a strategy where toxic players watch a streamer’s broadcast to gain the upper hand – but it’s not just viewers who are guilty of the tactic. While many top streamers attribute sniping to random viewers hoping to troll their favorite internet personalities, sometimes, the sniping can come from fellow streamers. Popular CS:GO pro Jaryd League of Legends pro Marus ‘Dyrus’ Hill spoke up. Read More: Police shut down massive FaZe Clan meetup – “I’m not gonna lie, I’ve done that before,” Dyrus laughingly admitted. “…yeah, I stream snipe, too. But no one knows, because I [use] different names. I do it on a lot of games. It’s my favorite offtime hobby.” 600https://www.instagram.com/p/Br3baXNh7SM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkDyrus’s statement was met with laughter and incredulity across the podcast, with Summit calling his hobby “fucked up” while Greek merely giggled at the exchange. “This is a fucked up world we live in!” Summit exclaimed. “He’s like the biggest hypocrite on the planet! You can’t be a streamer and a stream sniper, that’s fucked up!” Stream snipers are a plague to top streamers across the board, with even the likes of Twitch superstar Dr Disrespect being trolled by the tactic. However, rather than being enraged by the offense, Dr Disrespect hits back with some old-fashioned trash talk, as seen in his reaction to one sniper during a broadcast on July 26. “Doctor! Come on, man. I just wanna… Come on, Doctor!” he mocked the sniper. “Doctor! Turn around! I just need an ounce, just a little bit of attention, my mommy and daddy don’t give me any attention.” Despite the popular stereotype, we can bet fans will be second-guessing stream snipers’ true identities in future broadcasts, thanks to Dyrus’ admission of gameplay guilt.

Summit1g shows Twitch viewers how to complete Jump King – Dexerto
Summit1g shows Twitch viewers how to complete Jump King The massively popular Jump King has taken the online gaming community by storm of late, with frustrated streamers falling to their deaths over and over again, but the same can’t be said for Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar. The variety streamer has decided to mix things up once again on his channel, deciding to give the PC game everybody is raving about a try during a broadcast. Viewers on Twitch, YouTube and other streaming platforms have seen some of the biggest personalities explode into rage at the hands of Jump King, although summit is more than certainly not on that list. The former CSGO player might well have dropped a few curse words when falling from some heights, but his emotions never got the best of him as he made it all look rather easy on stream – eventually completing it in a breeze. For those looking into top tips and tricks to help complete Jump King, there’s no doubt that summit1g’s performance could inspire a good few to go on and finish the game themselves. “Let’s go! You guys think I couldn’t do it,” he said after reaching the summit, no pun intended, of the structure. “We didn’t need no special boots, we didn’t need no special sh*t. We just f**king handled it.” Timestamp in the video below at 4:05. He added: “Honestly I didn’t know if I was going to be able to beat this game. I thought it was going to frustrate me to oblivion. Once I saw the castle stuff I was like dude, this is like one chance on each jump all the way up.” Fellow streamer Dr Disrespect appeared to have previously mocked summit with a donation while he was playing the game, too, stating: “Seeing you fail and fail and fail at a Virtua Boy Game Boy game makes me… superior?” After seeing how concentrated he was as he carried out some nervous jumps, some of which were pretty close calls, it would have been a delight for any member of the chat seeing summit1g’s face beam from cheek to cheek with a huge smile at the end of it. Do you think you can pull it off and complete the game? Take on the Jump King challenge.

Summit1g shakes up GTA RP race with hilarious hit-and-run – Dexerto
Summit1g shakes up GTA RP race with hilarious hit-and-run Summit1g, Twitch / RockstarGrand Theft Auto RP run, it’s fair to say that his skills at the wheel aren’t at the same level. The popular streamer, who has over 3.8 million followers on the streaming platform, has joked about quitting the roleplaying multiplayer mod because of his inability to win races and his return to the game hasn’t been exactly been easy where driving is concerned. However, that didn’t stop him from getting into another race against three other drivers. While his fans might not have expected much from the performance they were about to see, they could never have predicted Summit to crash into another vehicle at the speed he did during his May 12 stream. Racing is one of the most popular features of Grand Theft Auto Online. The streamer was pacing down the streets of Los Santos at almost 170mph before he smashed into the back of another player’s vehicle, taking him off the road with just a third of a mile left to race. Summit then hilariously decided to casually pull out his repair kit to fix up his car, right in front of everybody involved in the collision. “Oh, I’m dead…” Summit said, laughing after realizing the damage he had done to both vehicles. The player he was racing against also smashed into the back of a car, too. As both of them repaired their cars, a victim of the accident decided to check up on the pair. “How are we doing gentlemen? We got EMS [Emergency Medical Services] on the way here alright,” they said, before Summit completed the fix, started laughing, and sped away. The collision meant that Summit just narrowly lost the race in the end, but viewers couldn’t help but notice that his vehicle started up slowly after the repair. He later explained that it was a bug. “It was slow because my car wouldn’t start,” he said. “I had to pull my phone out, it’s like that weird glitch. So, it’s like I’ve got to turn on my engine, fuck it didn’t turn on, I press P, press escape, and turn it on again.” Fans will be hoping that his next race will be as eventful, but with Summit1g finishing in first place.

Summit1g shares long list of reasons why PCs are superior to consoles – Dexerto
Summit1g shares long list of reasons why PCs are superior to consoles Twitch: Summit1gTwitch veteran Jaryd ‘Summit1g‘ Lazar has revealed a strong list of reasons why he believes PCs are generally better than consoles. Summit1g is one of the most experienced streamers out there, having broadcast gameplay since the very early days of Twitch. As such, he had discussed a variety of topics with his viewers and one that undoubtedly kept coming up is the PC vs console debate. While it’s unlikely that either side will give way to the other, Summit1g shared his list of reasons why PC is superior, and it’s hard to disagree. The American explained why PC’s are better during his usual Escape From Tarkov stream on January 17, citing quite a few reasons. “The beauty about the PC is that you have everything right there at your fingertips. You wanna watch a little Netflix? Sure. You wanna catch up on your favorite YouTube? Sure. You wanna catch up on some live streams? Sure,” Summit said. His list of reasons didn’t stop there, however, as he continued with even more PC benefits. “Wanna play more video games than your consoles are gonna offer you? F**king sure. You wanna play it more comfortably and more free, with higher frames and better graphics? F**k yeah.” As Summit states, there are a lot of benefits to playing on PC. Although, to be fair to consoles, with most of them it’s possible to watch streams, YouTube, and Netflix and it is pretty freeing to sit on your sofa or bed and play with the controller. Regardless, the never-ending war between PCs and consoles will certainly go on and will probably be one that never ends as both sides are unwilling to yield to the other.

Summit1g roasts xQc’s Splitgate team with hilarious trash talk – Dexerto
Summit1g roasts xQc’s Splitgate team with hilarious trash talk Summit1g, Twitch / xQc, InstagramJaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar and Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel ended up locked into a battle of words while playing Splitgate: Arena Warfare against each other on May 28, as they both went at each other with some hilarious trash talk. The popular Twitch streamers have been trying out the new multiplayer first-person shooter, which was developed by 1047 Games and first released on May 24, and has since been showcased by a number of high profile gamers in their livestreams. However, after xQc’s team came up short in one game by a score of 59-66 to Summit’s, things started to get a bit heated as the latter started to taunt his opponents about the loss. “You guys play like pussies,” Summit1g said, before xQc and his teammates quickly pounced on the bait. “You camp like a fucking rat, are you kidding me? Summit responded: “Were you up in that sniper tower jerking yourself off or what?” before CALVIn moved in for the kill. “Shut the fuck up!” he roared, before saying: “What are you going to do, play Fortnite dude? Play Fortnite?” Former Overwatch pro xQc weighed in with another shot, too. “Take off the voice changer. This isn’t Los Santos, fucking idiot…” he fired back, as Summit1g often uses a voice changer to disguise his identity during his streams, whether that’s playing GTA RP, Sea of Thieves, and clearly Splitgate: Arena Warfare now too. There was one piece of trash talk that brought together both teams for a few laughs, though, and that final blow came from Summit1g – who claimed he hadn’t seen one of the players on the opposition team in the entire game. “You got teabagged so many times. Moxy I didn’t even see your ass in the game that’s how many times I saw you,” he said, before both xQc and CALVIn burst into laughter. Whether or not these streamers will come together and continue playing Splitgate – or any other game for that matter – in the future remains to be seen, but they always pull out some hilarious moments when they cross paths.

Summit1g in hysterics after watching Dr Disrespect’s Splitgate skills – Dexerto
Summit1g in hysterics after watching Dr Disrespect’s Splitgate skills Twitch: Dr DisRespect/summit1gPopular Twitch streamer Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar couldn’t help but laugh after watching Dr DisRespect’s Splitgate gameplay, ahead of the pair’s Halo 1v1. The two streamers have a hilarious public feud going, agreeing that when Halo releases on PC they will have a 1v1 match, with the Doc – as always – overtly confident about his abilities. The 1v1 is garnering some serious hype, with Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek sharing his opinion on it. While streaming on May 25, Summit took a break to evaluate the Doc’s Splitgate: Arena Warfare gameplay, much to his, and his viewers’, amusement. Splitgate: Arena Warfare is a new FPS from 1047 Games, released on May 24. It has drawn a lot of comparisons with the Halo franchise, in both looks and feel. The Doc was streaming it on May 25, and summit checked in just in time to see him struggling, being killed by a player he had just accidentally ignored. “What happened to those two bullets that just went right through him?” the Doc raged. After watching the Doc die, summit was reduced to hysterics. “Out of all the clips to watch,” laughed Lazar. “I can’t believe I came across that one – unless this is happening all the time. He just watched that guy run up and kill him.” The Doc was unimpressed with the situation, and was even more unimpressed with shroud’s input on the pair’s 1v1, after the ex-CS:GO pro said he didn’t think summit has anything to worry about. In his rebuttal, the Doc says that once he’s “done with the little guy [summit]”, shroud’s next. You son of a bitch @shroud. After I’m done with the little guy, you’re next. https://t.co/Gr6FaFU72o — Dr Disrespect (@drdisrespect) May 25, 2019 While the Doc is on Twitter throwing shade at shroud, summit was clearly having fun watching the Doc struggle. Lazar has recently experienced a resurgence in popularity, thanks mainly to his GTA V role play streams. However, he is talented in a number of games, and clearly doesn’t seem too concerned about the Doc’s Halo ability, at least if his Splitgate talents are anything to go by.

Summit1g roasts viewer after being mocked for World of Warcraft streams – Dexerto
Summit1g roasts viewer after being mocked for World of Warcraft streams Steam / Blizzard EntertainmentGTA RP, with some of his latest livestreams having eclipsed the 20 hour mark. However, after logging out of the game and saying that he was about to bring his 11-hour stream to a close on June 13, one cheeky fan decided to fire some shots at summit and it’s fair to say that he didn’t appreciate it. Not one bit. “We just gotta log out here. Do it tomorrow,” he said, before one user called him a “pussy” for not continuing streaming further into the night. After taking note of the their online username, summit went on to roll with the punches and searched for the person who said it on Twitch. “Let’s have a look at your fucking channel real quick, uh?” he said, clearly irritated by what he had been called. “Let’s see how many hours you put into your channel. “Right, videos zero. Last fucking game you played, Roblox. Says a lot. You’re doing great,” he continued. “You would stream more if you weren’t such a pussy, but you know that’s fine. That’s just how it goes with you.” Regular summit viewers will know that reacting in this way to members of the chat is quite out of character for him, but after streaming for so long, clearly he was expecting to be able to end the broadcast without having abuse hurled at him. He went on to thank people for watching, as usual, before going offline.

Summit1g roasts CouRage and TimTheTatMan in Sea of Thieves return – Dexerto
Summit1g roasts CouRage and TimTheTatMan in Sea of Thieves return Graphics: Rare, Twitch, ShortysJaryd Sea of Thieves, but after being told that he wasn’t all that good at the game by one fan, his response was as savage as they come. The popular Twitch streamer had taken a few months hiatus from the open-world multiplayer title developed by Rare, trying his hand in GTA RP, Splitgate: Arena Warfare, and even World of Warcraft in the meantime. Now, he’s back and ready to search the seven seas for some more of those elusive Athena chests, as he’s done in the past, but also reveal some of the best strategies for playing the game as well. However, after being told that no matter how good he is in the player versus player (PVP) aspect of the game, he could always get “stomped” by players that are just better than him, summit1g fired back with a brutal swipe at the skills of other livestreamers. “That’s kind of how every video game is. Almost how I played with TimTheTatMan and CouRage, and how bad those guys were,” he said during his July 1 stream. The two Twitch streamers, TimTheTatMan and CouRage, had a short stint on Sea of Thieves back in January 2019, playing alongside summit and others as the surged in popularity on the platform for a brief period of time. He continued: “We played and did just fine, got some Athenas [chests], relaxed, got lots of loot, they were all fucking potatoes. I had to carry the shit out of them OK. What are you talking about man?” Summit1g discusses best Sea of Thieves tactics This wasn’t the end of the interaction between fan and streamer, though, as the discussion soon moved to whether treasure hunting or PVP tactics work best. For those who aren’t aware, summit1g’s Sea of Thieves streams in the past have largely consisted of PVP action, not just for the thrill of stealing other teams’ loot from right under the nose, but the entertainment factor as well. A member of the chat claimed that being a pirate – i.e. taking loot from other players – is currently the most effective way to play the game, suggesting that the game’s developers need to incentivize people to do quests. Yet, it didn’t take long for summit1g to shut down their idea. “Uhh ‘if you still gave them a small reward you would keep a part of the community that would want to do the treasure hunting’” he read from the comments. “God dude, we should not be pirates then?” he continued. “Being a pirate is absolutely, not even close, to as profitable as people just going out doing quests.” How long summit will be playing Sea of Thieves, for now, remains to be seen. Fans of his previous pirating streams will be hoping not only that he sticks around for a while, but yoinks as many chests as he can in the process too.

Summit1g roasts Dr Disrespect and TimTheTatman over their Sea of Thieves skill – Dexerto
Summit1g roasts Dr Disrespect and TimTheTatman over their Sea of Thieves skill Popular Twitch streamers got into a hilarious war of words vs each other over Sea of Thieves, after Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar suggested TimTheTatman and Dr Disrespect were too bad to even help. All three are established streamers, on Twitch for many years and still regularly pulling in tens of thousands of viewers for each stream. Summit, an experienced Sea of Thieves player, kicked things off by explaining that he wouldn’t teach TimTheTatman, or Dr Disrespect for that matter, how to get better at the game because they were so bad. TimTheTatman, of course, got wind of this, and hit back, saying: “I will not be made fun of by someone who is half my weight, and has the same size head as me!” Enjoying the back and forth, viewers continued to stoke the flames of this burgeoning roast session, sending Tim’s comments back to Summit1g, who responded to fire with fire. “One, I’m probably one-third of the weight,” Summit retorts, before continuing “and I don’t have a forehead like that. Your forehead is starting to wrap around your head, you’re going to have a forehead on the back of your head!” The pair are no doubt good friends, but that didn’t stop them getting into the pirate spirit during Sea of Thieves and entertaining their audience with a bit of verbal jousting. Summit1g’s stream particularly has enjoyed a boost in popularity to start 2019 thanks to Sea of Thieves, and now more streamers, including TimTheTatman and Dr Disrespect, are giving the game a chance.

Summit1g reveals ‘real’ reason he quit GTA RP during return stream – Dexerto
Summit1g reveals ‘real’ reason he quit GTA RP during return stream Graphics: Rockstar / Shorty AwardsPopular Grand Theft Auto RP and he’s revealed a pretty strange reason for quitting the game in the first place. The former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player had been trying out some different games after first deciding to stop streaming GTA RP on April 24, with brief spells playing Mordhau, Miscreated, and CS:GO. However, after his viewership reportedly declined by almost three quarters since he stopped playing the multiplayer mod, he decided to give it another go on May 9. During his return, Summit1g took a moment to reflect on the reason that he first stopped streaming the game in the first place and it’s probably not the answer that many of his fans would have been expecting. “We’ll see if we can even win a race now, you know what I’m saying, might still be cursed. That’s why I really quit,” he said. While his explanation was almost certainly sarcastic, many of his fans will be wondering about the reason why he returned, not just why he quit. Fellow streamer Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins commented on Summit’s Twitch predicament during his May 7 stream, claiming that he respected him for quitting the game, but outlined some potentially heavy consequences. “I have to give mad respect to Summit, man. To play GTA RP and go from 40-50k viewers to knowing that you’re going to lose half that viewership when you play other games and continue to stick with it, like that’s tough man,” Ninja said during his broadcast. “Streamers actually enjoying what they’re playing and what they’re doing is way more important than numbers.” While Ninja’s comments proved to be somewhat accurate, with Summit1g’s viewership falling from around 40,000 to the 10,000 mark after deciding to hop off the game, it is very unlikely that he would return just for increased viewership, though.

Summit1g reveals why he hasn’t been streaming GTA RP lately – Dexerto
Summit1g reveals why he hasn’t been streaming GTA RP lately GTA / Summit1g – TwitchFans of Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar have noticed that he hasn’t been doing any role-playing on Grand Theft Auto V recently, and the prominent Twitch streamer has now revealed why. Role-play on GTA V has become one of the biggest trends in the online gaming community over the past few months, involving players loading into servers together and playing as if the game was real life. One of the biggest reasons for the growth of GTA RP has been Summit1g, who could regularly be found streaming the game and playing in the highest tier servers. Summit1g explains why he’s not been streaming GTA RP Over the past few days, Summit has been staying away from streaming GTA RP, which has predictably led to more and more fans asking why that has been the case. “So I took a day off, then yesterday I was bored, then today I just decided that I had a good time playing Miscreated,” he replied. Miscreated is an online multiplayer hardcore survival game set in a post-apocalyptic era, and Summit has already found a way to fall victim to a troll in it. Summit1g plays what he wants Following up his direct response to the question, Summit went on to explain that his channel is really focused around what he wants to play, rather than a game that may be popular or trending. “This channel, it’s always going to prioritize what I want to play or what I feel like playing,” he said. “We made this decision when Fortnite took a whole dump on this thing, on my fucking attitude everyday. After that, I was like ‘yeah, we’re just going to play what we want to play.’” The streamer did admit that having high viewership and good streaming numbers is always a positive, but not when it comes at the cost of the enjoyment of streaming. “This is just me sticking to that, whether it’s crazy viewership or not, “he explained. “Obviously it’s super-cool to have a lot of viewers and stuff like that, but I want to play what I want to play. I want to be here and having fun. When this feels like a job, it’s not a job. You don’t want it to feel like a fucking job.” Will Summit1g ever return to streaming GTA RP? While we may never know the answer to this question, it’s more likely to happen than not. Even if he takes a break for a while, Summit’s presence in the GTA RP community is massive enough where he likely could return to the game pretty much any time he wants. However, considering what he said on stream, he may want to stay away from the game for a while until his interest is rekindled to the point where he wants to return to it, rather than feeling like he has to.

Summit1g reveals why he’s finally quitting GTA RP for good – Dexerto
Summit1g reveals why he’s finally quitting GTA RP for good Twitch: Summit1g/Rockstar GamesJaryd ‘GTA RP is “coming to a close” after having one too many bored moments in-game. The popular Twitch streamer has threatened to quit the online mod on more than one occasion – citing a number of different reasons behind his decision. Yet, he has continued to hop into Los Santos as his Charles Johnson character. Even though the streamer had previously explained that he was thinking about becoming a police officer to revive his interest in the mod, it appears as if he might just be done, regardless. During his May 24 stream, Summit had been attempting to wipe out a police car that he found parked at the side of the road by pouring gasoline on top and shooting it. However, the gasoline never quite connected and the streamer was left fighting for his life when a police officer discovered what he was doing. Summit was ultimately gunned down for actions, leading to some frustrations. “I do not want to go through this again, no,” he started, taking his headphones off and walking away from the stream. “I’m done with this. This is my last day on NoPixel – it’s official, it really is. Officially, I’m so stupid that I’m done.” For attempting to blow up a police car, the streamer was sentenced to 40 months in prison, which works out to 40 minutes of real-time. However, he wasn’t going to serve that time during his stream as he hopped right off GTA RP and looked for another game to play. After one of his channel’s moderator told him to chill out and maybe try playing as a cop himself, but Summit explained more thoughts about wrapping up GTA RP. “I gotta find something else. Like, tonight doesn’t matter, what happened today doesn’t matter,” he added. “It’s like, the end of the rope is near – I can already feel it. I have too many bored moments, so I can tell.” The streamer added that he felt his time with the game was “coming to a close” and he needed to search out something to “replace” it. What will Summit stream next? While Summit has spoken about quitting the mod in the past, it’s clear to see that his interest is dwindling and he’s on the search for something new. Some fans may be hoping that he returns to a similar role-playing game like Sea of Thieves, but with plenty of new titles on the horizon, there won’t be a shortage of things for the streamer to try his hand at.

Summit1g reveals insane $100,000 diamond-crusted custom mouse – Dexerto
Summit1g reveals insane $100,000 diamond-crusted custom mouse Twitch: Summit1gJaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar proudly showed fans a diamond-encrusted mouse he received from Finalmouse, and he was surprised to learn it’s estimated to be worth around $100,000. Massive streamers like Summit1g receive gifts from their sponsors from time to time. It’s one of the many perks of the job. But while there’s nothing extraordinary about receiving a new mouse, it’s a big deal when it’s encrusted with $100,000 worth of diamonds. Summit1g shared the news on social media, although he had no idea how much it was worth. As far as he knew, it was a limited edition Finalmouse designed specifically for him, and it was encrusted with diamonds, which he thought was cool. Sorry for being late. Was picking up this bad boy. @finalmouse pic.twitter.com/MbuNqnjyPM — summit1g (@summit1g) April 16, 2021 He showed off the mouse on stream and talked about it with his fans. “I know this is going to sound like a douchebag thing to say, but these are real diamonds,” he said as he proudly held it in front of the camera. At first, he wasn’t sure if the diamonds were real. It wasn’t until Finalmouse told him he needed to “get them steam cleaned at a jeweler every once in a while” that he realized they were the real deal. But even then, he didn’t know how much it was actually worth. Fans started telling him it was worth $100,000, which he didn’t believe. But then he was shocked to learn it was actually true. “Damn,” he said. “This thing is going to be taken and put into a safe every night.” He promised to take good care of it and vowed he wouldn’t use it for regular gaming. Instead, he planned on using other versions of the same mouse without the diamonds. It’s crazy to think a $100,000 mouse exists, let alone for it to be received as a gift. There’s no doubt Summit’s diamond mouse will instantly become one of his most prized possessions.

Summit1g reveals the one thing he wants to do before quitting GTA RP for good – Dexerto
Summit1g reveals the one thing he wants to do before quitting GTA RP for good Shorty Awards / RockstarGrand Theft Auto RP during his May 16 livestream after becoming frustrated with the police, but he’s not entirely done with the game just yet. There’s one more thing he wants to check off on his virtual bucket list. The popular Twitch streamer, who averages between 30 to 40 thousand viewers while streaming the popular GTA online mod, decided to switch the game for CS:GO again during the broadcast, after having his house raided and chased by the cops. After exiting the server, a flood of questions came in from viewers, all concerned about his immediate future on the game. However, it seems as if he’s not done altogether, as there’s something that he would like to do first. The streamer, who has been dabbling with other games such as Mordhau and Miscreated of late, might well have confirmed his incoming departure on stream, but it seems he wants to go out with a bang when he does eventually sail into the sunset. “I’ll be honest man, I think I’ve been taking it pretty chill. I don’t understand how I’m on anyone’s radar, you know” Summit1g said after quitting out of the game, appearing to be burnt out from police chases. “Getting raided was like fuck, now the cops are on me it’s like fuck… I have to shoot somebody before my departure though, for sure.” It wouldn’t be the first time that Summit has turned his back on the world of roleplaying GTA, either, as he first quit the game on April 24 after becoming “bored” playing it. After making his return, seemingly with some unfinished business, on May 9, he revealed that not winning races was one of the main turn-offs for him at the time. Now, with the police on his tail and constantly looking over his shoulder for the cops, he said he will “never get caught” and “doesn’t feel like dealing with it” at the moment. Whether or not Summit has a specific player in mind or not when he was referring to shooting somebody before leaving GTA RP for good is unknown, but plotting to take out a character could set up a grandstand finish for him streaming the game.

Summit1g reveals he’s not going outdoors following a death threat – Dexerto
Summit1g reveals he’s not going outdoors following a death threat Popular Twitch streamer Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar has revealed the lengths he is going to protect himself, after being spooked by a death threat made during his livestream. Summit1g is a veteran of livestreaming on Twitch, and remains one of the most popular to this day, even enjoying a sharp increase in popularity again over late 2018 into 2019. In fact, Summit is reportedly the most subscribed streamer on Twitch as of January 15 2019, according to stat tracking website Twitch Stats. But, with such a large fanbase, there is always unfortunately going to be some bad apples, and Summit1g has reported to his viewers that one internet user has made him fear for his life. During a stream on January 14, Lazar explained to his viewers “Somebody gave me a death threat boys, so I’m just going to make sure I’m staying in doors for the next few days.” “I’ve contacted the police, they’re working with Twitch. that’s all I can really do.” He also states that he will be getting some extra peace of mind with some security outside. Summit1g is not overreacting with these measures either, as it would not be the first time that popular streamers have had their lives endangered. Some of the biggest names on the platform, like Dr Disrespect who had gunfire directed at his home, or Tyler1 who had an individual creeping around outside his window, have felt threatened during a livestream.

Summit1g reveals his GTA RP return will bring big changes – Dexerto
Summit1g reveals his GTA RP return will bring big changes Summit1GTwitch star Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar revealed that he’ll be ending his GTA RP hiatus before long, but he’ll be making some changes to his character when he does. While many of Twitch’s biggest names first dove into GTA RP at the start of 2021, Summit1g has been a longstanding member of the roleplay community. The variety streamer, who dips in and out of games with regularity, has played a massive role in helping put eyes on the GTA RP world thanks to the antics he gets up to with his criminal character, Charles Johnson. Summit has, in the past, dedicated himself to roleplay for a long stretch before taking a break and finding a new passion. That’s happened again recently with iRacing as he hasn’t jumped into the NoPixel GTA RP server on stream for quite some time. Though, that’ll be changing. As he was closing out his November 27 stream, the leader of the 1G squad noted that he’ll be switching things up on stream and not focusing as heavily on iRacing moving forward. Instead, he’ll be mixing in some GTA RP before he starts hitting the track for some hot laps. “We’re actually going to be jumping back into GTA RP pretty soon here as the main shebang for like 4-5 hours of the day and swap over to racing after is what I’m thinking,” Summit said. “We’re not going to be doing the same stuff on GTA, we’re just going to be f**king around and hanging out with the boys, just really doing whatever you know.” Prior to his lengthy break this time around, Summit was doing his usual thing of dominating the racing scene and getting into police chases – though he did voice some complaints about the server as a whole. He might get back into that when he returns to NoPixel, but regardless, plenty of his viewers will be overjoyed to watch Chawa again.

Summit1g reveals biggest issue with Rust stopping him from playing again – Dexerto
Summit1g reveals biggest issue with Rust stopping him from playing again Twitch: Summit1gTwitch streaming star Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar has shared his biggest issue with the popular survival game Rust, as he believes shooting “feels like a chore.” Since he began streaming regularly in 2013, Summit1g has become one of Twitch’s most-popular variety streamers – amassing over 6.1M followers on the Amazon-owned live streaming platform. The streaming star began his career with FPS titles – even competing in Valve’s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for a brief period of time – and mastered pretty much every battle royale as well. However, despite his knowledge and expertise in the genre, he can’t wrap his head around Rust’s finicky shooting and recoil mechanics, even after 200 hours of playtime. During Summit’s March 11 stream, the former FPS competitor hit out at Rust after being informed that the game would be undergoing a bit of an overhaul soon. Specifically, he took shots at the game’s AK47 which he claimed to be a “chore to use.” While complaining about how difficult it is to use guns in Rust, a viewer of the popular streamer argued that Counter-Strike’s AK47 is similar. However, Summit heavily disagreed: “Nah it’s not even close dude. It’s like if you took a CS:GO AK47 and exacerbated it by like five times,” he said. “You exacerbated its statistics of that thing, the recoil of it, the horizontal sway and all of that by five then you have the Rust AK47. ” The conversation continued as another viewer tried to explain Summit’s opinion as a lack of playtime on the popular survival game. “Why does it make sense that the only thing I don’t like about your game is the recoil,” Summit asked. “How’s that a thing that’s okay? Why would you want that to be a deterrent for your game? “The recoil being out of this world does not need to be a thing, in fact like I said it’s a deterrent,” he added. “I’ve played FPS games my whole life, I don’t play Rust because it feels like you’re wrestling a snake when shooting guns. It’s not fun, it feels like a chore. Why the f**k would I play something like that? However, fortunately for Summit, Rust developer Alistair McFarlane has confirmed in a tweet on March 10 there’s a PvP patch on the horizon that will look to improve gunplay and other common complaints. No release date for the new patch has been set, but players like Summit can only hope it arrives soon.

Summit1g returns to Sea of Thieves with incredible boat heist – Dexerto
Summit1g returns to Sea of Thieves with incredible boat heist Jaryd ‘Sea of Thieves on Twitch and he’s already showing absolutely no ring rust when it comes to his infamous heists. The popular variety Twitch streamer led a movement earlier in 2019 that saw thousands of his viewers right at the heart of a game craze, with several fellow streamers eventually deciding to give the game a try – after he proved there was an audience for it. However, after taking some time away from the world of skeleton pirates, playing games such as World of Warcraft, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and GTA RP, he’s finally back and showed no signs of slowing down with his amazing thieving skills during an October 17 broadcast. The former CS:GO player found himself in a PvP situation on the high seas, chasing another Galleon as it stormed right past his ship. Summit quickly snapped into action, firing a series of cannonballs at the enemy crew, before making an unbelievable play. Using a cannon attached to the Sloop he was on board, he managed to fire himself in the same direction as the other boat but much further in front. After waiting for the ship to sail past him while he was in the water, the Twitch streamer hung onto the ladder, pulled himself aboard and wiped out the team with ease – walking away with a brand new ship for his efforts. This type of ship transfer isn’t the only heist that summit has managed to pull off in Sea of Thieves, though, as he used to constantly used a hidden space in the captain’s quarters of other ships to steal loot from other teams. Whether or not he’ll be sticking around on the popular pirate title for much longer remains to be seen, but it’s clear that he enjoys playing it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come back in the first place.

Summit1g returns to Sea of Thieves trolling with hilarious heist – Dexerto
Summit1g returns to Sea of Thieves trolling with hilarious heist Summit1g/TwitchJaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar is back at it again with his brilliant Sea of Thieves clips as he trolls enemy teams to the highest degree. Summit has already provided fans with some hilarious Sea of Thieves highlights. On December 14, the streamer boarded an enemy Galleon, hid pretty much in plain sight and escaped with all of their expensive loot that consisted of chests and skulls on a rowing boat – leaving his foes completely baffled. He took it to another level on December 17 when he dumped all three of another team’s Athena Chests into a rowboat, dropped off that team’s Galleon and set sail in the opposite direction. Now, he’s given fans another brilliant clip. This time, the long-time streamer decided against stealing his enemies loot, instead opting to throw it off their boat and into the vast ocean. Before his enemies could send him to an untimely death, Summit quickly jumped around the side of the ship, hooked onto the ship’s ladder and climbed back aboard. He quickly scaled the central mast and hid in the Crows Nest, laughing at his own devious work. “I’m giving them the jukes boys,” Summit called out before offering up a summary of his heist. Sea of Thieves looks to be the only Pirate-themed game that Summit is going to play for a while. On December 24, the streamer announced that he was finished playing one of the newest releases – Atlas. Summit had already stirred up some controversy with the comments he made towards fellow streamers who were streaming on the game’s category, waiting for the launch despite it being a few hours away. He later apologised for his comments – especially those towards Saqib ‘Lirik’ Zahid.

Summit1g’s return to PUBG featured flying cars and badly time donations – Dexerto
Summit1g’s return to PUBG featured flying cars and badly time donations Jaryd ‘PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has made for some hilarious moments already during his Twitch streams, and the amazing timing of this donation might be the best highlight yet. The popular variety streamer, who had previously hinted towards going back to Grand Theft Auto RP, resisted the temptation and decided to stick around on the battle royale title. Now, anyone who has watched summit will know that his chat does tend to chip in with suggestions every so often – sometimes helpful and other times not so much. However, during his July 11 Twitch broadcast, one fan couldn’t have been more accurate with their timing of a donation, warning the former CS:GO streamer to turn away from the direction he was traveling in. Summit was driving towards the zone in PUBG using a buggy when the donation message was read out for him to hear. “Stop driving this way. It’s a really bad idea,” it said before he responded with: “Too late. We’re committed.” Ignoring the advice turned out to be a disastrous move as Summit was hilariously struck down just seconds later by an M249 headshot, leaving him speechless. At first glance this might seem like the funniest thing to have happened during the livestream, but there was certainly a close contender to rival it. Earlier in the broadcast, what appeared to be a stream sniper came flying past summit1g in a car – in a similar way to that of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, for those who have watched that film. The player cruised around in the sky for a few moments, sending Summit’s chat into delirium. Nobody could have expected that when he kicked off his PUBG stream. Whether or not summit will continue to play this game on Twitch remains to be seen, but there’s no doubt that the streamer has given his fans some hilarious moments since making the switch.

Summit1g returns to CS:GO and proves he’s still got it with impressive clutch – Dexerto
Summit1g returns to CS:GO and proves he’s still got it with impressive clutch Twitch: Summit1GAfter a long hiatus, popular Twitch streamer Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar has returned to streaming Counter-Strike, and the veteran player has proved he’s still one of the best in the game. Summi1g kicked off his career with a brief stint in professional Counter-Strike. However, after playing under organizations such as A51 and Mythic, the player turned to Twitch, where he’d begin streaming regularly from 2013 onwards. Now, Summit is one of the most popular streamers globally and was once even the most-followed creator on Twitch. With over 6.1M followers, he gradually moved away from his roots in playing Counter-Strike. Considered as a variety streamer, you can catch Summit playing all sorts of games nowadays, from Sea of Thieves, to even iRacing. However, he recently returned to the first-person shooter CS:GO and proved he can still compete. Summit recently began playing Counter-Strike again on stream, and in his May 21 broadcast, the former pro player reminded his viewers exactly how good he is. In a short highlight from his May 21 stream, Summit pulled off an incredible 1v4 while defending B site from the attackers on the classic map Dust 2. After swiftly taking down the four attackers, his chat went ecstatic for the popular streamer, and even his in-game teammates hyped him up. While Summit hasn’t played Counter-Strike in a while, he did also recently make his return to Valorant – a similar first-person shooter – where he ended up carrying his team in the first competitive game he played in months. Clearly showing he’s still got it, long-time fans of the streamer will love to see him continue going back to his roots with Counter-Strike.

Summit1g responds to accusations of toxicity in Sea of Thieves with passion-fueled rant – Dexerto
Summit1g responds to accusations of toxicity in Sea of Thieves with passion-fueled rant Rare Limited / Summit1GPopular Twitch streamer Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar gave his response to a compilation video that accused the broadcaster of “extreme toxicity” and highlighted a string of his moments containing harsh comments. Summit has been enjoying a successful run of Sea of Thieves streams, but some in the game’s community believe that the 1G could dial back the disruptive behavior. Summit disagrees. The streamer took time in his broadcast to passionately share thoughts on the state of toxicity in games, suggesting that players need to stop pretending to be “Care Bears at every step of the way” and embrace occasional moments of incivility. Summit further explained his actions are part of his audience’s expectations, and added that there are a few streamers who depend on some levels of aberrant behaviour to keep their streams entertaining. “Why are we acting like that’s ‘extreme toxicity,’” summit said. “1. I’m not telling anyone that I’m effing (sic) their moms; 2. I’m not dropping any sort of racial slurs; 3. I’m not making anyone feel awful about their lives. I’m just talking shit while I’m slaying. That’s complete normal levels of toxicity on any other video game.” The 1G refutes clips shown in the video, saying that the sights and sounds are taken out of context. He says that he was particularly triggered on one of those days while the other day contained, what he sees as, terrific content with all parties just having a great time. “This was one day worth of clips, by the way,” summit said. “Me and the guys were feeling fucking troll-y and having a good time crapping on people. People were talking shit to us, we were talking shit back. Thought that was fun” Although the Seas of Thieves developers have an actual written Pirate’s Code for their community to keep in mind, summit agreed with his chat that the code serves “more like guidelines, anyway.” Summit is in talks with Rare Studios to be a part of a sponsored event, to which the streamer says should still happen at his disclosure.

Summit1g responds to backlash over “innocent until proven guilty” tweet – Dexerto
Summit1g responds to backlash over “innocent until proven guilty” tweet Summit1G/Twitch[jwplayer 91I9RIGm]Popular Twitch streamer ‘summit1g’ is facing backlash on social media over a tweet appearing to criticize how accusations are handled online, following a slew of sexual assault and harassment allegations against well-known content creators and personalities in the gaming industry. The past week has seen a number of allegations made online against prominent figures in the gaming sphere, but the internet’s reaction to the claims has been “backwards” according to a tweet from summit on June 24. “Innocent until proven guilty….” the streamer tweeted. “Unless it’s the internet where we do things backwards.” Summit almost immediately faced pushback on his take from various personalities and Twitter users, including fellow Twitch streamer Asmongold, who suggested that in these cases it’s worth giving both sides the chance to speak. “It’s possible to support and take someone who’s making an allegation seriously while also not immediately cancelling the person who it was made against,” Asmon replied. “It’s important to give people an opportunity to respond and defend themselves.” Esports insider Rod ‘Slasher’ Breslau went a step further and suggested that maybe it would have been better if the streamer had kept his opinion to himself on the matter. “As one of the biggest streamers in all of gaming and on Twitch, if your first comment on social after a week of ~100 women coming forward with stories of special assault, harassment, and misconduct is to say this,” Slasher wrote. “Maybe it’s better you say nothing at all.” Summit hopped on stream shortly after making the tweet and almost immediately addressed the outrage surrounding it after viewers brought it up. “It’s hard to hold myself back sometimes, I’m only human you know? And I have opinions and we’re not all going to share opinions,” summit said on stream. “No matter what you think, no matter what you say, no matter how righteous your cause may be, there’ll always be someone that disagrees.” “I am just simply stating that while people are making very, very clear that sexual assaults and things like it are happening at real-life events and that people are people are getting called out,” he added. “I just also want to make it very, very clear how dangerous it is to run someone’s name through the mud like that if it’s not 100% true.” Despite his on-stream explanation, the broadcasting star continues to face backlash over his post due to the current environment in the gaming and streaming space. Stay tuned to Dexerto for more as this story continues to develop.

Summit1g responds to criticism about his RPing in GTA RP – Dexerto
Summit1g responds to criticism about his RPing in GTA RP Twitch star Jaryd ‘Summit1g‘ Lazar had a response to members of the GTA RP community who heavily criticized his roleplay after he gunned down a police officer in broad daylight. GTA RP, an online mod for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V, sprung to popularity on Twitch at the start of 2019, with streamers from all over the platform flocking to the highly-entertaining game. One of those was summit, who despite a brief hiatus, has since returned to the NoPixel server to continue his Charles Johnson persona. The streamer has faced criticism in the past for his role-play skills – after, perhaps, enjoying the criminal lifestyle a little too much. While he’s overcome them in the past, new critics have reared their heads. Summit’s Charles Johnson persona is one of the less controversial characters, but nobody everybody in GTA RP is a fan. During his August 17 stream, summit and his gang were conducting a number of convenience store robberies when the cops were alerted to their actions and eventually dispatched to hunt them down. In a bid to ‘send a message’, summit and his boys immediately rained down bullets on streamer Stoner_Minded – giving his cop character a fiery demise. “That’s yikes,” he said, clearly frustrated about being used as collateral damage. “That’s just AIDS honestly, that’s just dumb.” The clip and thoughts of the streamer eventually made their way to summit, even though he had since moved on and was focusing on his next piece of roleplay. “When a cop messes up, and I don’t know what’s going on – the cops have been running rampant around the city, well, you’re a clip, you know,” he stated. “We all knew we wanted to mag dump on some cops to send some messages back a little bit, I’m sorry you had to be on the end of it – my bad, my bad. What do you want me to do man? Like I said, you guys kill me fifteen times, I kill one cop and it’s a problem? Come on. I understand the RP is supposed to be there, I get that. Trust me more more than anybody wants that.” Whether or not summit and his fellow criminals will re-evaluate their plans based on the cops’ annoyance remains to be seen. It might be something to consider, however, as frustrations can lead to in-game grudges and an ultimately poor RPing experience for everyone involved.

Summit1g rages at ‘stupidest’ World of Warcraft feature – Dexerto
Summit1g rages at ‘stupidest’ World of Warcraft feature Summit1g, Twitch / Blizzard EntertainmentGrand Theft Auto RP to the curb and try out some different games for his audience to enjoy – one of which has been World of Warcraft Classic, which is currently in beta testing. It’s no secret that the game is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed video game industry has to offer right now, with even Michael ‘ CS:GO player was grinding his way through the game for just short of 23 hours during a lengthy stream on June 5, clocking off soon after failing continuously to enter a dungeon. World of Warcraft dungeons offer longer, more challenging, tasks than quests and after defeating creatures inside, players can collect higher quality loot. “This is the easiest XP I can get and I’m locked out. Oh my god. Fuck, maybe because I’m invisible,” he said on one of his last attempts, before being killed by another player looking to get inside too. He added: “This is so stupid that I even have to be in this fucking area right now, I just want to get in the fucking dungeon.” Summit remained resilient for around an hour, attempting to get inside the dungeon time after time, but once his chat realized just how much it was starting to tick him off, they started to troll him. Well, he didn’t like that. Read More: What is Battalion 1944? Shroud, Dr Disrespect and more switch to Twitch’s latest viral game – “Run inside? Oh my fucking god, chat. The only reason I’m even there is because I can’t get inside,” he said, clearly angered after dying yet again. “Fucking hell. This is the stupidest concept World of Warcraft ever came up with. Fuck man.” For those wondering whether or not Summit1g will be playing any more World of Warcraft in the future, after becoming frustrated, he answered that question himself by restarting his stream around an hour after the 23 hour session came to an end. So, it looks like he’s in it for the long haul.

Summit1G reacts to Ninja believing Fortnite had given him a skin in the game – Dexerto
Summit1G reacts to Ninja believing Fortnite had given him a skin in the game summit1G / NinjaTwitch streamer Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar couldn’t contain his laughter as he watched fellow streamer Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins in shock – believing Fortnite had given summit1G his own skin in the game. Ninja is of course the most popular Fortnite streamer, and has been for much of the game’s popularity over the past 12 months, so was understandably surprised to see that a skin bearing summit1G’s colors and a ‘G’ across the chest had been added. To make matters worse, the skin was called ‘Summit Striker’, and all of this combined left Ninja at a loss for words – even though in reality the skin had nothing to do with his fellow streamer. Epic Games later confirmed that despite the name and G on the chest, this similarities were mere coincidence, meaning Ninja’s state of dismay was all over nothing. Summit1G, who woke up on Wednesday, November 7 to the surprise news that he had apparently been honored in the most popular game in the world, reacted on stream to Ninja’s mistaken shock. Before watching the clip, Summit1G sarcastically responded to his chat “‘Fortnite made you a skin’ – I know dude, they hit me up and were like look, ‘Ninja’s been asking us for a skin, we want to just make him feel like shit, so we’re going to give you a skin. Don’t tell anybody, but it’s low key you.’” He then watched and reacted to Ninja’s hilarious mix up on stream, laughing all the way at the shocked expression on the Fortnite streamers face, as DrLupo points out the likeness to Summit’s logo. After watching Ninja’s reaction, Summit1G complimented the skin, saying that if he ever comes back to Fortnite that will be the one he’s rocking. However, it doesn’t seem like he has any plans to return to the game any time soon, as he quickly hopped in to Call of Duty’s Blackout – but did remind his viewers to use his name in the Support a Creator scheme, so he can get some kick back when they buy Fortnite’s V-Bucks. Although Ninja is still patiently waiting for the day Epic Games finally decides to grant him his own skin in the game, he remains the only streamer to have ever had an item added specifically for them at their request. After he jokingly asked for it, Epic added a ‘Plunja’ pickaxe – a toilet plunger with a Katana through it – in his honor. Although Epic confirmed that the Summit Striker skin has nothing to do with summit1G, they have not ruled out the addition of streamer and YouTuber inspired skins. But, it could throw up issues around bias and favoritism, depending on who was given a skin and who wasn’t, as well as royalties regarding whether the personalities themselves should receive a cut of the revenue.

Summit1g rage quits GTA RP over the new “meta” – Dexerto
Summit1g rage quits GTA RP over the new “meta” Twitch: Summit1G/Rockstar GamesTwitch star Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar hit out at the current GTA RP meta that prompted him to hop off the role-playing mod during his April 4 stream and jump on CS:GO instead. While plenty of other big-name Twitch streamers have stopped playing GTA RP after its second boom in players, Summit1g has returned to his popular Charles Johnson character on a pretty regular basis. As his character falls on the wrong side of the law more often than not, the streaming star can find himself in trouble with the virtual Los Santos Police Department, but their actions prompted him to cut his RP session short during his April 4 stream. As he usually does when playing GTA RP, Summit had been partaking in a race with a few other players when, as he was racing through the Harmony part of the map, his car spun out after a crash with an NPC. With the Twitch star on the side of the road, the police urged him to stop as they tried to shut down the race. Yet, they appeared to get a bit heavy-handed. “That’s not f**king happening, why has he got a rifle?” Summit asked as his armor was ripped to shreds by the shots. Summit was eventually taken down by shots, leaving him confused. “Dude, why man? Why is he using a rifle dude? That’s just… ok,” he added before heading off-stream for a few minutes. Upon his return, though, the streamer was pretty upset with what had happened claimed and he was going to change up the way he walks the streets of Los Santos. “Listen chat, I learned something today. I’m not rolling around with just a pistol anymore,” he added. “We’re rolling round with automatics from now on dude, I’m just going to start fights out with automatics. I mean, I’m not going to be on the s**t end of the stick of that one anymore.” Once the roleplay had finished, and Summit was free to go about his business, he decided to call it quits and change up the game he was playing, heading to CS:GO. “Listen man, if anything I remember from the past, in the RP world at least, once you get salty its time to get the f**k off,” Summit told his viewers. “It seeps real heavily into other people’s channels and s**t, especially coming from this channel, and we don’t want to continue that.” Though he might have thrown in the towel for one night, the veteran variety streamer didn’t say he was done with GTA for good, so he’ll probably make a return. As for a possible change in the meta, that only comes from the people who are playing on the server so it might not be an overnight fix.

Summit1g rages at Jump King developer after crushing fail – Dexerto
Summit1g rages at Jump King developer after crushing fail Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar looked on the brink of exploding into a fit of rage during a Twitch stream on January 1, after failing time after time on Jump King. The popular variety streamer was one of the platform’s biggest trendsetters during 2019, but has actually jumped on the bandwagon of another viral video game in 2020 – and it’s an extremely frustrating one, too. Jump King fails have been doing the rounds on social media after a number of high profile personalities decided to download and play it in front of their fans, usually sparking some hilarious fails. Despite already completing one of Jump King’s missions in a previous stream, summit has been playing it again and this time he’s directed the anger of his falls to the developer behind the game, Nexile. For those who haven’t seen the game already, it tasks players with the mission of jumping their way past different obstacles in order to progress higher. However, while it might feel increasingly rewarding the higher you get, it doesn’t get much worse than missing a step and falling right the way down to the bottom again. The former CSGO player looked to be making some real progress during the broadcast, but after a few consecutive fails, it all got a bit too much for him. He shouted: “Dude, suck my d*ck! God, you’re probably like one guy in your basement that made this fucking video game because it looks like my asshole. Put this f**king game into development. Arghh!” As you would expect, a few fails wasn’t going to stop him from trying again and again – which is one of the reasons why the PC title has become so popular of late. It’s very addictive. It was only a matter of time before he dropped right the way down again, though, leaving him head-in-hands. He added: “F**k! Oh my god bro, I’m going to lose my sh*t right now.” While he certainly lost it with the developers during the stream, he’s already proven that he can get the job done and there’s no doubt that he will go on to reach the summit a few more times before switching to another game. Until then, fans will enjoy the fails.

Summit1g pulls off insane move to escape cops in GTA RP after 20-minute chase – Dexerto
Summit1g pulls off insane move to escape cops in GTA RP after 20-minute chase Typicalgamer/rockstar/summit1gPopularCS:GO streamer and player and veteran of Twitch, has quickly become one of the faces of GTA V’s roleplaying servers on the platform, creating some hilarious highlights in the process, including one of his epic racing fails. 1G has been constantly battling with the cops for months since joining the popular NoPixel server and it seems as if he finally got the better of them once again during his stream on August 30. Summit and his friends had decided to rob a grocery store in-game, which took the streamer longer than he anticipated, leading to him having a confrontation with the cops before attempting to make his escape. The Twitch star realized that they weren’t going to finish the robbery when the cops pulled up and quickly called it off, “I don’t know which one I opened, cops are here bruv, let’s go!” Despite facing off against the officer, summit1g defied his orders and raced away once everyone had made it into the car, saying, “The cops are here, yeah we’re getting in the fucking car copper.” The chase then lasted for over 20 minutes, with summit going through all types of terrain in an attempt to shake the cops, however, nothing seemed to be working and just when many thought he was about to get caught he pulled off an incredible play to escape. Summit decided to slam on the brakes when realizing that the police had caught up to him, which lead to him bumping one of the cop cars and causing it to flip over. The second car was unable to react quickly enough and found itself piling up with the broken vehicle, giving summit a chance to drive away freely. This is not the first time summit has found himself in a war with the police on GTA RP, as he seems to be intent on trying to getting them to chase his as much as possible to make his gameplay more entertaining. Summit continues to keep the story of his character, Charles Robinson, alive while drawing in thousands of viewers on Twitch with some of his hilarious highlight on the popular roleplaying server.su

Summit1g pulls off “greatest play of all time” in Sea of Thieves with help from a Megalodon – Dexerto
Summit1g pulls off “greatest play of all time” in Sea of Thieves with help from a Megalodon Twitch star Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar defied all logic during a recent Sea of Thieves stream, pulling off one of the most ridiculous plays we’ve seen in the game so far. Summit has been putting a lot of stream time into the pirate adventure game in recent weeks, raiding rival crews and stocking up on loot even if it does result in some very unhappy opponents! The 31-year-old has fought off stream snipers and a host of critics in recent weeks as he continues to terrorize the oceans, but even he was amazed when one heist on January 10 took a strange twist. Summit and his crew were closing in an opponent ship when the steamer decided to fly even closer with the use of a cannon. What he didn’t expect, though, was to land on the back of a Megalodon and use it to reach the other ship after he overshot the initial jump! “I went too far. They were turning into us,” he said before suddenly landing on the back of the massive creature. “Woah! I’m on the Meg! What the fu…” The Twitch star couldn’t believe his luck as the Megalodon steered him and gave him the boost required to rectify his position, allowing him to grab hold of the opponent ship’s ladder and sneak on board! “It drove me almost to be able to get onto the ladder. Dude, if I hit this fucking ladder… Oh my god, the greatest play of all time!” he exclaimed. “I landed on the Meg, the Meg drives me just far enough to fucking make it bro! And they don’t know I’m here.” Unfortunately for summit, and luckily for his opponents, he was eventually discovered by the crew. However, there’s no denying the fact that his Magalodon ride was impressive. One of the most powerful creatures in Sea of Thieves, the Megalodon is a giant shar-like creature that can attack players at any time. Or, if you’re feeling brave, you could try to use it as a taxi service like summit!

Summit1g pulls off heist of the century in Sea of Thieves, escapes in row boat with crew’s loot – Dexerto
Summit1g pulls off heist of the century in Sea of Thieves, escapes in row boat with crew’s loot Twitch / summit1gJaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar pulled off one of the most stealthy heists seen on Sea of Thieves as he approached a team’s ship, boarded, hid almost in plain sight and escaped with all of their loot on a rowing boat – bobbling into the distance. Summit, one of Twitch’s most popular streamers, decided to swim his way over to a Galleon he spotted near The Crooked Masts, after he had a hunch that the team might have something of great value on board. He said: “If you go too close, everyone’s on guard. These guys are definitely teaming though, which is perfect because that smells like Athena [Chest] to me.” After boarding the ship without being caught, he sat tight for quite some time. Hidden behind a chair in the map room, Summit counted down the amount of stops left on the crew’s voyage as they got moving, taking quick peaks at what they had to offer. He was right, the Athena Chest was right there in front of him. When the team eventually stopped off, the popular streamer snapped into action and swiftly took their loot piece-by-piece towards the back of their boat. The team fired themselves closer to a nearby island using cannons, completely oblivious to what was happening right under their noses. After stocking up a rowing boat with a shed-load of skulls and his long sought after Athena chest, Summit slipped away totally unnoticed to complete his mission. We can only imagine the team’s reaction when they returned to their Galleon, only to find an empty bed where the loot they collected was once placed.

Summit1g trolled by PokeLawls in hilarious GTA RP insurance scam – Dexerto
Summit1g trolled by PokeLawls in hilarious GTA RP insurance scam Summit1g, Twitter / TwitchVisiting the bank is just one of those ordinary things you have to do in Grand Theft Auto RP, but little did Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar know that he was walking right into an insurance scam after he left the building. Why is Summit playing GTA RP? The popular Twitch streamer has taken a break from streaming both Sea of Thieves and Apex Legends in recent times. Instead, he has been enjoying sights and sounds of the GTA RP multiplayer mod on the popular NoPixel server. Taking on a character in the game might mean planning heists and your own missions with other players, but it also means doing everyday tasks, such as visiting the bank to check his balance. Summit strolls into a scam However, with those daily responsibilities also comes the challenges of escaping insurance scams – and no, we’re not talking about those annoying ‘have you had an accident at work lately’ phone calls or television adverts. Instead, the streamer walked right into a potential scam as fellow streamer PokeLawls, who plays the Boog character in GTA RP, decided to lay down right in front of Summit’s car and waited for him to come out of the building. As seen in the clip below, the streamer must not have spotted the guy crawling near his vehicle before he hopped in, picked a location on the map and fired up the engine. Seconds later, he heard the player. “Ohhh! Call the police,” they screamed. “What the fuck? Is this an insurance scam? What the fuck… Are you OK man,” Summit asked, as the scamster character crawled around in the middle of the road, screaming in pain. Once the streamer worked out that the other character was just trolling him, he drove the car right into the head of the downed player and sped off without a care in the world. Now, while we’re not totally certain that the other player will be pressing charges in this instance, Mors Mutual Insurance will surely sniff out that this was totally a scam.

Summit1g pulls off biggest Sea of Thieves heist yet after a ridiculously intense wait – Dexerto
Summit1g pulls off biggest Sea of Thieves heist yet after a ridiculously intense wait Summit1g / Rare StudiosTwitch star Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar has once again pulled off an absolutely ridiculous Sea of Thieves heist, stealing three rare Athena chests live on stream from a totally obvious crew. Summit has been putting a lot of stream time into the pirate adventure game recently and spends a good amount of that time raiding rival crews and stocking up on their loot – something that has resulted in some very disgruntled opponents! The 31-year-old has had to fight off stream snipers and a host of critics during his SoT streams but he continues to rule the seas with an iron fist and a level of patience and determination that should probably go down in history. This point was hammered home on January 21 when the streaming sensation managed to sneak onto an enemy ship and hide for two insanely tense hours, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike and steal their Athena chests! “I never thought I’d ever lay my fucking eyes on a Gilded Athena in my LIFE, and it’s here, and I’m tucked and they have no idea,” summit exclaimed after he managed to sneak onto the ship and use his tuck emote to hide from the other crew. The wait was a long one for summit and his crew, but the popular streamer still managed to amass around 70,000 viewers while he waited to strike and steal the valuable loot. When that time came, the opponents didn’t stand a chance and were killed in a short but brutal ambush at the hands of summit and company, all of whom were screaming in excitement as they secured three of the valuable chests. Athena chests are some of the most valuable and difficult to obtain items in Sea of Thieves. Crews will spend hours on a voyage trying to obtain just one, so the loss of three will have been devastating for the other crew. “Lets go dude, went off without a hitch,” summit said after sinking the opponent’s ship and completing the robbery. “The cleanest heist. The fucking cleanest it could be. The perfect execution.”

Summit1g perfectly trolled by undercover cops in GTA RP – Dexerto
Summit1g perfectly trolled by undercover cops in GTA RP Popular Grand Theft Auto’s Roleplay servers, although this time they were undercover. Summit1g has remained one of the most entertaining streamers on Twitch after years on the platform, pulling in thousands of viewers each stream to watch him take part in the likes of NoPixel’s GTA Roleplaying servers. The popular streamer has had countless run-ins with the police during his time roaming the streets of Los Santos and always looks for new ways to get the better of them in his ongoing feud. However, it was the cops who managed to pull one over on summit for a change, perfectly trolling the Twitch star by going undercover to expose his in-game crimes. Summit1g had stopped at a set of traffic lights when a car of players pulled up beside him, complimenting his new vehicle and asking him where he got it. The streamer bragged that he managed to steal the car and began laughing thinking he had gotten away with it, “I f**king stole it.” Unfortunately for the streamer, he chose the wrong moment to come clean as the undercover cops quickly revealed their identity, putting their lights and siren on before asking him to pull over. As many of his fans would come to expect, the 32-year-old did not give up easily and began to speed away in an attempt to shake them. After getting away summit revealed that he was impressed by the cops’ new technique which almost resulted in him being jailed, saying, “Ah they trolled me, that was good, I like it.” This is not the first time that summit1g has the cops try to pull tricks over on other players and has even called out some rogue cops after making a huge discovery in GTA RP servers.

Summit1g overwhelmed with emotion after achieving “dream” for his father – Dexerto
Summit1g overwhelmed with emotion after achieving “dream” for his father Twitch: summit1gDespite Twitch’s flaws, it does provide us with some heartwarming and uplifting moments like how Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar opened up to his audience on stream about finally being able to buy his dad a house. Beginning his streaming career in 2012, Summit has become a household name on Twitch. With nearly 40,000 viewers tuning in for every stream, he has a massive reach on the platform. Summit is known for being very transparent and open with his fanbase. This was displayed in a recent stream where he expressed how happy he was to be able to purchase his dad a new house in the nearby area. The topic made for a heartfelt moment on stream where Summit couldn’t help but get emotional about finally fulfilling his “dream”. Heartwarming moment on Summit’s stream Summit opened his stream on December 28 with a smile on his face, excited to tell his fanbase about a dream he’d finally been able to make come true. “Not all things in life have gone according to plan, but some things do… I’m successfully getting some family members out of California, it’s been a nice little dream of mine for a while,” he said, getting more and more emotional as he went on. As the stream continued, Summit voiced how much respect he had for his dad and how amazing it felt to finally bring him closer. It’s obvious this was a huge achievement for him and a goal he’d been working on for a long time. The fact that he decided to share it with his audience shows how much he values and appreciates them. Not every streamer would opt to tell their fanbase such personal news. “But my dad, that’s a man I respect the most in life… to get him out here, that’s the dream to buy your dad a house,” Summit added, before taking a moment to compose himself after tearing up. No one wants to see anybody get upset, especially when it’s one of your favorite streamers. However, in this case, it was because Summit had achieved something so special that he couldn’t help his emotions. These are the moments on Twitch that make the platform well-worth watching and will never fail to bring a smile to your face.

Summit1g can only laugh as cat ruins final Sea of Thieves cutscene Twitch: Summit1G / Rare LimitedJaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar had his latest Sea of Thieves run hilariously interrupted as his cat crashed the game at the worst possible moment. After an extremely long grind in Sea of Thieves, hunting down one of the rarest vanity items in the game, Summit’s run reached an unbelievable conclusion on May 12. In the midst of the final cutscene, having toppled the Gold Hoarder boss fight, the Twitch streamer’s cat became the center of attention, crashing his game and rebooting his gaming PC at the worst possible time. In hunt of the ‘Shores Of Gold Curse’ – a cosmetic-only Curse that gives players a golden tinge – Summit was nearing the finish line. The time-consuming ‘Seeker of Grand Adventure’ commendation that rewards said item, demands a great deal from wannabe pirates. All he had to do was sit and watch the cutscene upon beating the Gold Hoarder for the fifth time. As the final lines of dialogue came through, however, disaster struck thanks to his cat. “My door’s always open to true Pirate Legends. Until then, farewell, and remember…” the Pirate Lord said. It’s here, however, that Summit’s cat restarted his PC and brought the touching moment to a screeching halt. With his arms outstretched and his mouth wide open in shock, he couldn’t believe the timing. The streamer’s microphone was muted during his initial outburst, but when he finally came back, he simply asked: “How is this possible?” “I actually can’t believe it. I’m so blown away by his timing. I thought we were cool bro. I feed you every day,” Lazar said to his cat. Despite thinking that he would have to replay the final boss fight, Summit was relieved as he loaded back in. The golden cosmetic was there for him, the cutscene had wrapped up, and hours of grinding had finally paid off. “We look f***ing sick bro,” he said, relieved that his cat hadn’t actually ruined his chance at true pirate glory. Though he may never get to hear those final lines from the Pirate Lord.

Summit1g mortified after in-game mic picks up player’s very private moment – Dexerto
Summit1g mortified after in-game mic picks up player’s very private moment Microsoft/Twitch/Summit1gTwitch star Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar was left absolutely speechless during his Sea of Thieves game when a player’s very private moment was picked up over a hot mic. Summit1g is quite well-known for his streams where he sails the oceans of Sea of Thieves and has earned quite an audience in the process, with thousands tuning into his pirate antics. While Summit himself is quite entertaining, his April 4 broadcast was something else entirely thanks to someone in his group who, for whatever reason, forgot to mute their mic. The embarrassing moment didn’t go undetected as Summit and everyone else in his game quickly drew their attention to the awkward audio. Summit1g speechless after Sea of Thieves player’s embarrassing moment As Summit and his crew embarked on their journey, they began hearing someone’s in-game mic make a series of strange noises. It wasn’t long before players recognized the sound as someone having a leak on the toilet and forgetting to mute their microphone. “The guy’s taking a piss right now,” one said, leaving Summit to face-palm in disbelief. “He didn’t even take his f**king headset off,” another commented. Lazar, meanwhile, could hardly contain himself, trying not to try, laugh or show any sort of emotion whatsoever. The whole situation was just incredibly awkward for everyone and it’s unclear if the player breaking the seal even knew if his mic was on. Of course, there are plenty of more embarrassing things that can happen on stream, but hopefully, this serves as a reminder to every gamer out there to mute their mics before using the bathroom.

Summit1g nails perfectly timed-stunt during GTA RP race – Dexerto
Summit1g nails perfectly timed-stunt during GTA RP race Twitch; summit1g / Rockstar GamesThe super-popular Twitch streamer ‘summit1g’ wowed his viewers with his impressive driving skills during a race inside a GTA Online roleplaying server, creating a meme-worthy moment with his excellent timing. Summit1g has had some incredible moments inside GTA roleplaying servers, but this incredible highlight from his recent return to the popular game mode might just be his magnum opus. He’s certainly no stranger to the races in GTA RP, having previously derailed one in the past with a hilarious hit-and-run. He’s also no stranger to having issues with the in-game cops, frequently getting hit by invisible cars, and invoking more “1g” comments coupled with the fire emoji. During his February 28 stream, summit1g was participating in a long race around the entire map of Los Santos against other players, with the first lap taking over 11 minutes to complete. He was only one minute into the second lap when something spectacular and perfectly-timed occurred to prompt an abundance of Pog’s from his Twitch chat. Summit was going so fast that his car lifted off the pavement when the road sloped down heading across a bridge, causing him to rotate and bounce off of a light pole that saved him from flying off an elevated bridge into the ocean. Amazingly, he regained control of his vehicle as the bridge came to an end – and he did all of this while accompanied by his music, which was playing Dave Rogers’ “Deja Vu” from the anime series Initial D, which is fittingly about street racing. The chorus of the song has been used in various memes and videos over the years, and is still popularly used on sites like YouTube and TikTok. That chorus came in at the perfect time as summit1g completed his stunt. Unfortunately, when he lost control of his vehicle again just a minute later as the chorus of the song kicked in again, it wasn’t a deja vu of his first miraculous recovery. Clips and moments like this are great, but don’t expect these in the same frequency as last year. Summit has stated on stream that he won’t be doing GTA RP streams as frequently going forward, and won’t typically do the eight-hour-long ones he has pulled off before. It’s worth pointing out that in the past, he’d said that he was “done” with the mod, but came back to play just months later. For fans of his roleplaying antics and wild car crashes, hopefully limiting the amount of time he plays on average means a longer lifespan in his game library.

Summit1g makes opponent rage quit with epic Sea of Thieves heist – Dexerto
Summit1g makes opponent rage quit with epic Sea of Thieves heist We’ve seen Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar steal Athena Chests before on Sea of Thieves by hiding on the ship of his opponents, but he went a step further with this incredible new heist tactic. Known for his stealthy steals on the action-adventure video game, Summit1g has been terrorizing teams on the pirate game for weeks. But now, with a different trap set for a team docking to sell all of their loot, the retired Counter-Strike: Global Offensive competitive player has taken his ambushing skills to a whole other level. The streamer waited at an outpost for quite a while, with the suspicion that a team was on their way to sell some chests. And, he couldn’t have been more right. A team came storming towards the island Summit was waiting on and once he spotted them, he had one thing on his mind. Maybe he was too focused on the team, though, slipping down a hole before approaching the crew. Not the most elegant of starts, but it gets better. After laying down for some time, scouting out their next move, Summit darted towards the team as they headed for the point where they can sell their chests. He fired one sniper shot, missed, and another pistol shot, missed! He continued to court the player holding the chest, running right past another teammate, fired him down and cashed in the loot to receive 9,207 of the game’s currency to complete yet another incredible heist. “Done baby. Woo! Let’s go! He just disconnected,” Summit said. “It fucking happened dude. I missed those first two shots and I was like no! If I didn’t hit that sniper no-scope bro… Oh!” Summit realized that there might me some more chests on-board the sloop, after seeing flashes of the chests from a distance. And, to make matters worse for the crew, he stepped on board, killed the last member of the team and cashed in everything they probably worked hours to get – ruthless.

Summit1g mind-blown by LIRIK’s “unreal” 1v3 clutch in Escape from Tarkov – Dexerto
Summit1g mind-blown by LIRIK’s “unreal” 1v3 clutch in Escape from Tarkov Summit1g/LIRIKJaryd ‘Summit1g‘ Lazar was blown away watching fellow Twitch streamer Saqib ‘LIRIK‘ Zahid’s insane 3-on-1 play in Escape from Tarkov. On January 13, LIRIK was playing the Battlestate Games hit when he was ambushed by three enemies, shortly after sniping a foe off in the distance. A firefight began with the three exchanging gunfire. LIRIK wisely went for cover behind a tree before ducking into the grass and going prone as the squad approached him. One enemy came charging in guns-a-blazing, but was swiftly dropped by the streaming team, leaving two remaining. The second foe was close by to the left, and took one shot at Zahid before being forced to run for cover himself – but was fragged by the Twitch star, who’d spotted his prone body. “What the f**k?” the shocked LIRIK shouted. “Oh my God, he ran out of f**king ammo.” After healing up, their final enemy came creeping up behind the bushes, but the streamer was ready for him with the two getting hit. LIRIK, needing a big play, promptly switched to his sniper rifle and no-scoped the final adversary to clutch out the 3v1 in style. The whole encounter was so impressive, even fellow streamer Summit1g had to see it for himself. “Dude, PogChamp,” Summit1g said as he watched LIRIK get his second kill on the group. Nothing could prepare the streamer for what was about to come next, though. “Does anything else happen?” he wondered as he continued watching. After seeing LIRIK land the no-scope to end the battle, he was absolutely speechless. “What?!” he screamed in disbelief. “Dude, the ending of that video. Holy sh*t, dude. That is unreal.” For his part, LIRIK has improved and come a long way since he first started playing Tarkov earlier in January – but he may simply be a prodigy. After all, he did score his first kill mere seconds into his first game with his first shot. With Escape from Tarkov dominating Twitch viewership, it will be fun to see how the game develops, especially with big-name streamers frequently playing it.

Summit1g makes emotional plea to Sea of Thieves stream snipers – Dexerto
Summit1g makes emotional plea to Sea of Thieves stream snipers Twitch: Summit1g/Sea of ThievesJaryd ‘Sea of Thieves stream snipers before hilariously imploring them to ‘suck his weiner,’ after they ruined a lengthy portion of the stream for his loyal viewers. The streamer took a break from the pirate adventure title to dive right into the newly released Apex Legends. However, he has made a return and in doing so, his hilarious highlight clips are also back. This time, though, he wasn’t doing his best to steal someone’s loot by tip-toeing around their ship or trolling enemies with a spooky voice changer. Instead, he was the one being trolled. After a number of stream snipers continued to appear during his livestream, Summit decided to snap at them. Beginning his brilliant rant, he said: “Dude, this prick. Guys, come on. Somewhere in your fucking body there is a heart that is not stone fucking cold like the whole rest of your life is. Jesus. “How many times do you need to try to just fuck things up for lots of people, right now?” he asked them. “Suck a fucking cock and go somewhere else. Go to sleep, get a job, do something. It’s un-fucking-believable man.” He wasn’t finished just yet. “We all wanna see the Athena Ship. We’ve all been waiting fucking two hours for this motherfucker and you dumbasses, who suck penis at the video game, are still trying to just get your fucking clout on the stream,” he added. “Suck my weiner and fucking leave already. Jesus.” After getting his rage out of his system, Summit continued with his Sea of Thieves quests – doing what he does best and trolling enemy ships. If the streamer returns to the title for the long-term, it’s probably not best to anger him while he’s sailing the high seas as it could be you whose on the end of his next rant.

Summit1g makes luckiest GTA RP police chase escape ever – Dexerto
Summit1g makes luckiest GTA RP police chase escape ever Twitch: Summit1g/Rockstar GamesTwitch star Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar had yet another hilarious run-in with the GTA RP police and they even gave him a helping hand in his bid to escape. GTA RP has swung back to the top of the Twitch charts, after a brief hiatus, as streamers like summit flood to the Grand Theft Auto V PC multiplayer mod. Taking on the form of an NPC character from the game, players can choose to act out whatever life they like – provided its within the rules, of course. Summit’s Charles Johnson persona is a popular figure on the NoPixel server, despite his constant clashes with the law and some have even moved to criticize his roleplaying skills. That doesn’t matter to fans, though, as his robbery antics are what entertains them. Those criminal capers, however, got him into trouble with the law during his August 19 stream as he held up a convenience store out on the highway. Police, of course, quickly zeroed in on his position and tried to arrest him. So, he led them on a chase. As he pulled out of the car park and towards the highway, cops immediately called for him to stop. Summit put his foot down and rammed into one car – which flipped him over the barrier and into an empty lane as the cops scrambled behind. “That’s one way to do it!” he called out, before questioning his health. “How am I alive? What is happening? Am I in the fucking twilight zone right now bro? My whole car is shattered man!” However, it didn’t take long for the police to pick up his tail and continues their pursuit – with the streamer leading them all across Los Santos. After weaving through traffic on the Great Ocean Highway, Summit led on car towards the northern part of the map before shaking them on a winding road and seeking solace in a nearby vineyard. Considering summit’s regular run-ins with the police, it won’t be too long before he’s leading them on another wild goose chase around the city. Yet, he may never get luckier than the cops helping him out like they did with this one.

Summit1g loses it after Final Fantasy XIV sub expires during boss fight – Dexerto
Summit1g loses it after Final Fantasy XIV sub expires during boss fight Twitch: Summit1g/Square EnixTwitch star Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar had a true livestream fail as he ran out of time on his Final Fantasy XIV sub while midway through a big-time fight. Over the last few weeks, a number of Twitch’s biggest streamers have been sinking their teeth into different MMOs such as New World and Final Fantasy XIV Online, switching away from WoW and others. Final Fantasy XIV Online has really taken off on some channels, with Asmongold seeing a huge boost in viewers after giving the game a try. Summit1g, who is well renowned for his on-stream slip-ups, has also started to give the Square Enix a go on his own stream, and while he seems to be having fun, he made one crucial error during a big-time boss fight. During his July 24 stream, the leader of the 1G Squad dove into Final Fantasy XIV Online and was taking on Shiva in a fight with his party, and they seemed to be having a fair amount of success. Summit and his crew were melting the NPC, but before they could truly take her down, his game appeared to crash. “No way!” Summit yelled as he was greeted by the game’s main menu. However, he quickly figured out what had gone wrong – he’d run out of time for his trial. “Have you ever ran out of time mid-boss fight? Has that ever happened to you chat or is that a world first?” Summit asked as he continued to giggle away at the slip-up. Summit eventually managed to get back in after subbing to the MMO for another 30 days, but the boss fight was long gone. He couldn’t help but laugh at what happened, though, as his stream reminded him of some of his more iconic mistakes. Hopefully, this one won’t go down in folklore like though.

Summit1g slams notorious GTA roleplayer Lil Loco for controversial playstyle – Dexerto
Summit1g slams notorious GTA roleplayer Lil Loco for controversial playstyle Twitch: Jayce/Twitch: Summit1gPopular Twitch streamer Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar has laid down the law about one of the most controversial characters in Grand Theft Auto Roleplay – Lil Loco. The Lil Loco character, played by Twitch streamer Jayce, had drawn criticism for its lack of roleplaying and continually repeating the same actions over and over – usually, killing people quickly after little RP interaction. Some players had even hinted at stream sniping in an attempt to get a leg up on his targets. Many players, and viewers, of the NoPixel server have aired their dislike of the character, including Summit. Ranting about the character during his March 21 stream, Summit said: “This motherfucker, Lil Loco, just keeps robbing and robbing and robbing. I was even hearing people complain about his ass in the apartments yesterday.” “Its like dude, I’m sick of this gang shit,” he added. “Just cause you’re dumbass is wearing yellow doesn’t mean you get to lock down a whole area and have an excuse to rob anybody.” Jayce responded to the abundance of criticism about his character directly on his stream, explaining that he had received threats and hateful messages because of his playstyle from viewers of the game and that all the hate had gotten to him – clearly upsetting the streamer. Jayce doesn’t seem to be fazed by any of the drama surrounding his portrayal of Lil Loco, however, and has continued to stream his GTA V RP sessions using the Lil Loco persona. While GTA RP continues to be one of the most popular watches on Twitch, viewers regularly tune in to watch clever interactions between players in the server, but there is still room for a typical Grand Theft Auto gang character – as long as it’s played in the correct manner. Some fans will have criticized the streamer and others made cases for the character, but clearly, this one got a little out of hand.

Summit1g livid after Blizzard launcher costs him CoD Warzone match – Dexerto
Summit1g livid after Blizzard launcher costs him CoD Warzone match Twitch/summit1g/Infinity WardStar Twitch streamer Jaryd ‘summit1g’ Lazar was left furious and fuming after losing a match in Call of Duty’s new Warzone battle royale thanks to some interference by the Blizzard Launcher. The retired CSGO star had been sent to the gulag during a match on March 10 match after suffering his first death. Normally, when sent to the Gulag, players need to win a 1v1 against another defeated player for a chance to respawn and reclaim glory, but in summit1g’s case, the game let him back in free because he had no one to fight against. Just as the streamer landed after parachuting back to the battleground, his screen went dark for seemingly no reason, causing confusion. “My game just crashed?” he wondered as the game sent him back to his desktop due to an update for the Blizzard launcher. “My game did not crash! The game was like, ‘hey there’s an update, would you like to update?!’” Unfortunately for Lazar, during that brief moment where he had been tabbed out of the game, someone had eliminated him, and because he had already gotten one revive via the Gulag, he had no more respawning opportunities remaining. “Why would you f**king do that, Battlenet?” he groaned. “Why?! What a stupid way to die.” The rage didn’t end there either as the popular Twitch star continued to sound off on the update for kicking him at the worst time possible. “Alt-tabbed out of the game because the application that runs the game decided to let me know there was an update. Suck my d*ck, dude!” he added, flipping off the camera. “Why are you forcing sh*t down my throat for? I don’t give a f**k if there’s an update. Tell me when I’m not in a game.” “Is your program not smart enough to know I’m in a game using the f**king application?” Hopefully, both Activision-Blizzard can figure out solutions to these problems before players start rage-quitting their games for good.
