Responding to the question, Guanyu said he’s always up for a game, however, they both play different games on different platforms. “For sure,” Zhou said. “But I think Lewis plays different games to me. I think he’s more into Call of Duty and uses the PlayStation a lot, carrying it around the world. I’m more into computers as a Counter-Strike guy.”

Zhou further reminiscences his appearance during the time as he visited the Perfect World Shanghai Major back in 2024 and even took part in the show match. “After the season finale in Abu Dhabi, I went straight to the biggest Counter-Strike event, playing in the final stages with multiple World Champions,” he said.

“It was a bit like an F1 fan driving a car next to Lewis, that was my feeling! I was very nervous… I wanted to make sure I did well because I love the game – I wasn’t too bad!” he added. Zhou also likes to collect weapon skins in CS2 and has a variety of knives, gloves, and weapon skins in the game.
