Career

He initially started his career by playing WarZ but when Counter-Strike: Global Offensive would release, his popularity started to increase exponentially. This was when his current moniker of “1G” had originated. He initially worked as a call representative for Time Warner Cable before he was ready to commit full-time to stream since there was still a level of uncertainty about pursuing it full-time.

But, with a mix of good reasoning and intuition, Lazar decided that it was best that he gave his full-time attention towards it. His amazing competence that was topped by a not so overdone personality helped to breed an instant connection with his fans.

Mitch appreciated this and that it was a big part of him coming back to the platform.

Yet, he has had some controversies in the past. As a player of Sea of Thieves, he was criticized for trolling some of his fellow players and spreading some toxicity. But, he argued that we are all humans and are full of emotions and so in a competitive environment, those emotions can get to you. Even his own fans were not thrilled when he collaborated together with Jake Paul in playing Fortnite together.

He was also among the finalist in  Twitch Streamer of the Year during the 9th Annual Shorty Awards. He is also active on Youtube and has over 600k subscribers as of right now with over 90 million views so far. Streaming has become his life and he mentions how his entire day involves around 8 to 12 hours of streaming. Streamer like Shroud, who is on the rise has even mentioned how he has been the inspiration behind video game streaming as a full-time career.
