Hiếu Leblanc, full name Thạch Chí Hiếu, despite being new to the profession, this 23-year-old streamer has impressive numbers. With over 2 million followers across all social media platforms, Hiếu is one of the prominent streamers in the League of Legends community, making a mark with his humorous interaction style and remarkable gaming performances. On average, each of Hiếu’s broadcasts attracts tens of thousands of live viewers.
Despite this success, Hiếu Leblanc struggled to find his path before. Coming from a not-so-wealthy family, with his mother selling fish and his father working as a construction worker, to have money to play games, the young streamer took on various odd jobs. He even admitted to occasionally stealing money from his mother to “game”. Hiếu’s parents could not help but feel heartbroken but were powerless as the punishments had not proven effective.
Looking back at his past actions, the young streamer suddenly broke down in tears. He has always known he caused his parents distress, but it is only now that he has the courage to apologize to them. Here, Hiếu shared: “I wouldn’t dare steal from strangers, only from family because I knew they loved me, that’s why I did it.”
After reaching the 12th grade, feeling academically behind his classmates, Hiếu decided to drop out of school and work to support his family. Believing that he had skills comparable to other gamers his age, he began to venture into streaming. Determined to turn what seemed like a pointless gaming hobby into a legitimate career, Hiếu Leblanc gradually found his place in the industry. Earning money from gaming, this modest young man believes his success is due to luck. He emphasizes that pursuing education is still a better choice:
“I know that playing games is something young people really enjoy, but you should consider not neglecting your studies. I want you to know that being a streamer is very tough and challenging. If I could choose again, I would definitely choose to study and become a lawyer.”
