There can only be one “GOAT” of video games, and Ludwig is hosting a tournament to crown one king of Esports. Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming event.

Ludwig’s passion for esports has resulted in a few ambitious projects with varying success. In 2022, the YouTuber hosted one of the biggest Smash & Melee tournaments with a $1 million prize pool. However, MrBeast’s sponsorship wasn’t enough to turn a profit from the event. Ludwig revealed he lost over $200k on the Smash tournament.

That didn’t dissuade Ludwig from jumping right back into the scene. A few months later, the YouTuber hosted a chessboxing event with contestants facing off in a mix of boxing, chess, and Super Smash Bros Melee. It became the most-watched Smash tournament ever, surpassing even EVO 2019 in views.

Going away from his usual bread and butter of Smash, Ludwig announced a new event to crown the “GOAT” of video games.
