Pro gamer and Twitch streamer Tarik Celik has signed with management firm Loaded.
Celik, who has 2 million followers on Twitch, first rose to fame as a competitive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player. In 2018, he led team Cloud9 to victory at the ELEAGUE Major in Boston, and was named MVP.
He is currently one of Twitch’s most-watched Valorant streamers and has collabed with content creators like Pokimane, Ludwig, Nadeshot, and Shroud, Loaded says. During a recent stream, he reached peak concurrent viewership of 117,000 people.

I’m excited to see the new heights that we can reach together.”
