Ludwig Ahgren is a widely known livestreamer and YouTuber, boasting millions of viewers across his various channels.
Ludwig began dabbling in the realm of streaming in May 2018, however transitioned into a full-time streamer later that year. During his initial time on Twitch, Ludwig amassed a modest yet loyal fanbase primarily playing games such as Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Party, and Dark Souls.
Being a long-time member of the niche Super Smash Bros. Melee esports community, the upcoming streamer often collaborated with veteran and well-known figures such as Mang0, Mew2King, Plup, and more.
In late 2020, both Ludwig’s Twitch and YouTube channels reached over one million followers each and the creator began to experiment with his content. He began hosting game show-style content with fellow streamers like MoistCritikal, first beginning with a show dubbed “Hivemind” which later paved the way for Ludwig’s largest success, “Mogul Money.”
Ludwig’s nearly month-long Twitch subathon, launched in Mar. 2021, gave the streamer the most notoriety he had ever seen. Allowing subscriptions and donations to extend the length of his stream, Ludwig’s subathon ran for 31 days when he only expected the event to last one or two. During this time, Ludwig surpassed Ninja for the most concurrent subscribers ever held by one Twitch channel, reaching over 280,000 subs.
Shortly after his wildly successful subathon and launching a new trend on Twitch, Ludwig signed an exclusive streaming contract with YouTube. One of the first major Twitch creators to make the switch, Ludwig’s transition onto YouTube marked the beginning of a significant exodus of Twitch streamers to YouTube.
In 2022, Ludwig put on his first-ever live show for his Jeopardy-like game show, Mogul Money. In front of a sold-out in-person audience of over 5,000, Ludwig featured the likes of xQc, Pokimane, Fusile, Mizkif, and more on stage.
