Ludwig is hosting a new event called The Streamer Games in August, which will see content creators compete in various athletics sports.
YouTube content creator Ludwig has definitely caught Olympics fever, with plans to commentate on one of its most bizarre sports: chessboxing.
A week later and the YouTuber has announced his own spin on the sporting event, called The Streamer Games.
Ludwig has rounded up streamers and influencers from eight different organisation within the creator sphere, from Twitch to Podcasters, who’ll compete in various athletics sports.
With Red Bull as a sponsor, Ludwig has rented an athletics field at a high school in Los Angeles, where the event will be held August 17 and 18.
During a recent stream, Ludwig said that each of the events will last about six hours, and based on the announcement trailer participants will compete in sports such as hammer throw, ribbon dancing, dodgeball, and long jumping.
It wouldn’t be at all surprising if Ludwig adds a few twists on these traditional Olympic sports, however, to make his show more interesting to fans.
There are eight teams that will compete against each other, which are: YouTube, Twitch, Red Bull, Podcasters, and influencer organisations OTK, 100 Thieves, FaZe Clan, and Offline TV.
Ludwig has yet to confirm which influencers will participate, but has promised to announce two of the teams very soon.
Based on the teams that have been mentioned though, it would make sense if Pokimane and/or Disguised Toast from Offline TV join the games.
OTK have Mizkif, Emiru, and Sodapoppin on its roster, who might take part. While Nadeshot or Valkyrae could compete under the 100 Thieves banner.
Who competes for Twitch, YouTube, Red Bull, and Podcasters is anyone’s guess, but Ludwig will want to get as many stars as possible to join.
How to watch Ludwig’s The Streamer Games
The Streamer Games will be broadcast live on Ludwig’s YouTube channel as well as on his Mogul Moves Twitch stream.
The event starts at 1am UK time on August 17, as mentioned earlier.
