The North American CSGO scene is at its peak thanks to the great success of Team Liquid. However, in the top 20 highest earning CSGO players, they only have one representative. Jake “stewie2k” Yip needs just under $50,000 more to take Freddy “KRiMZ” Johansson’s #15 spot (according to esportsearnings.com).
The 21-year-old has surpassed Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg, Nathan “NBK” Schmitt, Filip “NEO” Kubski, Ioann “Edward” Sukharev, Jarosław “pashaBiceps” Jarząbkowski and many more. another name in CSGO.
Many of these people have more titles and tournaments, but their careers mostly started before CSGO. The esports bounty started to grow rapidly, which greatly increased the income of stewie2k. However, he is still around $800,000 behind Andreas “Xyp9x” Højsleth, who is currently at the top with $1,470,521.90.
The former Cloud9 member made a lot of money by winning the Major, but still increased by playing strongly with Team Liquid in late 2018 to early 2019. His current teammates: Keith “NAF” Markovic, Nick “nitr0” Cannella, Jonathan “ELiGE” Jablonowski, and Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken are tied at 24, 33, 34, and 42 respectively.
stewie2k will have a chance to close the gap and possibly overtake KRiMZ or Robin “flusha” Rönnquist (14) in a few days at ESL One Cologne. KRiMZ will have a chance to defend their rankings as fnatic will also be in attendance, and flusha has yet to return to play after leaving Cloud9.
Either way, a victory at the Counter-Strike Sanctuary will bring Team Liquid closer to making its name in North American history, as well as a mental elixir for the next Major.
