#ludwig - Hry
The best decision youtube ever made since ending rewind in 2018 was getting ludwig and letting him do his thing, love the events
fr! in this twitch vs kick vs whatever competition, Lud has been the pillarstone for YT Livestreaming! putting on these events, getting big numbers.... super cool to see!
Don’t let him see this but true
2018 rewind really sucked ass tho
Other best thing yt did was get otto to make a better chat experience
@@user-nd1nm6mq9fthat's the joke
Too bad Jerma failed the drug test, would have loved to see him compete
he would 100% get eliminated first
@@Bungerfanunless they were playing house flipper
jerma is not even close to the top 100
@@Bungerfan that's obviously false he reaches such inhuman levels of focus that his adrenaline and testosterone levels are off the charts. These mortals wouldn't stand a chance against Jerma.
they should have invited gex
Please Ludwig, make this shit a yearly thing. We need this type of stuff at the top of Esports and with bigger player base and more games and better rules
if this is the top of esports NA is actually doomed
i wouldnt say this is the top of esports, just kinda like a community tournament thingy
@@spamemail485why? It’s hilarious lol
@@Bee-ei5my Because EU will crush it with Asia
@@Bee-ei5myit’s called E-Sports that’s why😑 it’s not supposed to be just for the laughs
Thank you so much for having me and giving me this opportunity! Had so much fun and made so many new friends despite my gaming not going the best 😂❤🎉
@@Frank_Lee_Terribleshe's a loser?
cutting back to you on the first jump was so good
You‘re my spirit animal fr
Look at it this way, you were eliminated out of the BEST gamers in the world, that means you were still in the top of everyone else 😎
you were so cute Nem
I cannot believe how Connor got robbed of qualifying in that fall guys round. Never seen someone fly through finish line and keep going
That's what I'm saying
yeah that looks like bullshit. To the point he kinda should have retroactively qualified.
@@feha92 a lot of people have been saying this
I've been hearing this
18:57
Can we all give a massive shout out to polite for editing 16 hours of footage
that's what i'm saying. Editors are the unsung hero's of CZcams. They rarely get the credit they deserve for the work they put in. :)
@@Soli2deYTthey are paid millions same as streamers. Hardly "unsung"
@@mariomaer4746 You are out of your mind if you think editors are being paid “millions”
@mariomaer4746 lol you crazy if you think they are paid that much, streamers get most of their money from sponsors which editors don't get anything from
Preach! Were they involved in any other stuff I'd know?
I wish I could've seen a Technoblade "cyberbullying gamers to be the greatest gamer"
It would've been so good
oh my god yes
Dude I have still gotten over it. He was .... is a legend 😢
@@niravsuvarna7198you got over it? i still havent gotten over it
I think what's really cool about this is seeing the MASSIVE diversity in talent. Some people truly are walking around with min-maxed technique & talents, and some people are balanced and try everything. There are so many ways to be the best, so many ways to be amazing. Even being "pretty good" or even "just ok" at something is awesome.
"Even being "pretty good" or even "just ok" at something is awesome"
What sort of stupid participation trophy ass take is that lmao
@@chrish4439 You do know there is a huge difference b/w sucking at something and "just ok"? Or did your helicopter mom raise you to only go for #1 or unalive yourself?
I am shocked and pleased Erobb made it so far. Dads everywhere vindicated.
Would've so fucking good if erobb won instead
he even sniffed a chair and still stood his ground in the tourney
E MONEY THE GREAT
I was rooting for him so hard during the stream mannn
He was a sore loser
I’m shocked he managed to cut down the stream to an hour long video. Absolutely incredible content to watch, such a creative and well executed concept 🙌🏼
Its people like Ludwig that just elevate content creation to a new level.
I mean, he “cut it down to an hour” by just cutting out most of the content lol
@@abcdefzhijYeah, it's overedited.
@@abcdefzhijwhat content would you have left in? I watched the whole event and I can't recall anything specific I'd leave in.
Edit: just got to the atari part but that was honestly the most boring part so personally I'm cool with it being cut lol
@@abcdefzhij Do you want the hour of nothing due to the internet
ludwig and qt have revolutionised the streaming world, the events they've created are so amazing and really bring together the community
I know Smant isn't known for most of these games, but he did pretty respectably overall. Hope he comes back for next time.
for real
I don't even know why he was here. His main shtick is pokemon games and those are 0 skill games that only require having the most knowledge about the game.
@@chrish4439hes a mario odyssey speedrunner. Multiple world records in that
@@cold_ramen14 he's also damn good at minecraft and breath of the wild
@@chrish4439Also I'd say his biggest feats for those are in his random races, since that's often pure memory, which is something he's truly amazing at. But also, how is having the most knowledge not a form of skill? Are you in a world where only physical feats count as gaming???
I love how finals was between 2 people where whoever won it was a good story
Erobb the eveyman vs the guy who had the toughest path to get there
I mean the only difference is Erobb won RPS and skipped Rocket League, which... I'm not sure he loses to anyone, except maybe Loserfruit and that could go either way.
And the CounterStrike pools of course, but that's the short. Everyone under estimated Electronic Roberto.
@@FortuneTheBoldvoid sweeps erobbs cs pool and erobb maybe gets 5 kills total in void’s cs pool
Ludwig is the type of person to cheat during this event and still lose
You aren’t wrong.
Real and true
Overused comment
You’re the type of guy to comment something based on the title without watching the video
@mariokartmatt51 hahaha sooooo trueeee 💀💀
Mad respect to aceu for being so encouraging during his post-match interview on cs, and crazy prediction to say the least!
Would've been nice to have a system where everyone competes on every game and accumulate points for that. And everyone picking or having the game that they are the best at.
I had the same thought, but there’s probably not enough time for that. Maybe they could have multiple games going on at once
If they do it again it also would’ve been great to see halo and age of empires 2, two of the most iconic games of the 2000s
@LaBandaRoja9 I really wish we could have seen Smant in a strategy game.
I love how Zekken fully had the power to eliminate any 1 person he wanted
And he chose super 😭
Same with void in street fighter. The only person in the building that could beat him was sonicfox and he was out.
Void picking Zekken so he wouldn't lose in Tetris was really smart
Looks like he should’ve chosen Void!
@@thunderblaze9997 yeah maybe lol he might've counted void out cause he had to be in aceus group
Rizzo, erobb and Jaiden all came out of nowhere and just popped off in this lmao they all did so much better than pretty much anyone would have guessed
I feel like anyone who was a pro at a game had a decent chance at popping off and rizzo was a rlcs worlds grand-finalist
@@thund3r94 Yeah but Rocket League skill really doesn't transfer to other games and vice versa so the fact he did as well as he did in games like csgo was surprising
Rizzo is such a gem in the space imo, seems like he just brings a lot of charisma to these kinds of events
@@crows8107i think he was a former csgo player too tho 😂, just not good enough to go pro. I think he did case openings with Jon Sandman back in the day but i’d need to fact check that
21:53 "Dormamu, I've come to bargain" had me dying
Really appreciate the editors matching the facecam borders to the team colour for rocket league. With how often the perspective flips around during that section it makes it much easier to follow as someone relatively unfamiliar with the game.
Crazy to think that the two finalists were facing eliminations together both day 1 and day 2
Well every gamer has games they are bad at. It just so happened that they were bad at day 1 games where only 3 people were eliminated so they were lucky. If the days were switched then Erobb and void would’ve lost.
Looks like someone watches a bit of ludwig
@@Deerjason Lol, such cope. Void had to win a 1v1 in CS:GO against a professional Valorant player, and the only specialized game he had was SF6 in day 2.
@@Slurglyvoid is the GOAT, man has crazy technical skill
Been as Ludbud for a minute and I genuinely think this was my favorite event that he's ran. So many different worlds of gaming and content that I've followed for years coming together with A1 production and structure made me glued to the VODs. The DDoS'ings was unfortunate but man it was so fun to watch
Fr this was such a good idea that got pulled off well. I think LAN being an option for this made it so much better too
This event was really fun, I watched the full VODs of both Day 1 and Day 2! I was rooting for SmallAnt and BoxBox, and while they didn’t win it, they still did well! I barely knew any of the players at the start of this and now I feel like I’ve gotten to know so many new and different people!
I’m excited for next year too, and I’m hoping Feinberg will play to represent the competitive Minecraft community!
Yes! Feinberg has to play, totally agree
"Hows mango doing this round?"
*cuts to empty chair*
I almost died laughing at that lmao
this event has the potential to be huge, so many streamers and so many games and if this continues yearly i ccan see this becoming a great event people will be excited for every year
I would love that
I be excited for it
Fr
The World Cup or Olympics of games
Imagine them doing League next year
bro i love the little interviews the Slime does, he brings so much character to the show, never change slime
Got to give it to Lud, nobody else puts on events like this. So good to watch, everyone who was involved killed it
I did love the end where he's humble enough to speak for the voice of the audience with them saying do this, do that, it coulda been better and he's says yes absolutely but this is what it is this year in our first attempt hope you enjoyed.
People who didn't watch the stream please watch the vod literally 14 hours of pure entertainment. The video doesn't do it justice as this is one of the funniest/best streams i've watched in a while!
I remember day 2 when the stream went out lmao funniest shit
ok ludwig
Bro nobody got 16 hours of free time
they didnt even include void absolutely CRUSHING in lego
@@traumahd5233dumb fuck you can save it for later
Honestly so happy to see Jerax make it so far. One of my favorite players of all time.Dude innovated the hell out of DotA, and is one of the GOATS for sure.
rooted for him the whole vid and was so happy he made it to 3rd!!
He was so good on csgo...and it is pretty expected
Every dota player plays csgo lol😂😂
I belive that in Northern Europe, if you dont know how to play CS, your parents will just disown you
this event was really fucking cool, its creative and a really fun way to see the best in different games compete
Void’s run was so good. He played every game including the elimination games, and he still came on top. What a legend.
21:52 followed up by the commentator saying “hit him with that “Dormammu I’ve come to bargain””
I was in tears 🤣
Void is such a gamer, he was my pick in the beginning because he learns new games so quickly and gets so good at them. it's crazy
Crazy?
I was crazy once…
They locked me in a room...
A rubber room..
A rubber room with rats...
This is absolute pleasure content, i'm so gratefull for all you guys to contribute and create these kinds of events to convey emotions of excitement and make us remember why we love gaming so much! BIG UPS. (ps: alot of people take it for granted that this content is made, but it is not, hence the extra appreciation!)
Tbh always LOVE seeing creators get together for fun! Even if it’s not their best game it’s all friendly sport and at the end of the day it’s good content for everyone too 😂
Would like for Levy to participate in this, he won against Ludwig in a lot of games, definitely a great gamer.
Honestly, this is my favourite event you've ever made, if this gets a sequel or two it would actually be so dope
this should definetly be a yearly event
If Technoblade was here he'd clean up
I'll say, this was super fun to watch. About 10 minutes left for me but damn what a fun show.
I do think it was a little too loaded on shooter games. Minecraft and Fall Guys, and Rocket League and the racing game are different enough, sure, but Fortnite, CS:GO, xDefiant _and_ Call of Duty? Like do these make "best" gamers, or is this just a little too loaded on shooters? Especially when a lot of those gamers specialized in speedruns, tactical/strategy or variety content? At one point I felt bad for some of them because they just don't play shooter games, and yet 4 of them were in the shooter genre.
We only got strategy games like Tetris towards the end, which was a little unfortunate. I would have loved to see a sports game instead of Call of Duty. Or like, even just Mario Party or Monopoly for the shits and giggles, maybe with a twist. Or a short game that has an easy-to-learn speedrun strategy, best time in an hour. Or an adventure game with a 1-hour timer to see how far people got. Board games would have been a funny little in-between game. "Best player for Shoots n Ladders gets an extra 2 points," or something like that,
2:23 you cut out the funniest part of the joke!
Ludwig: Do it Rizzo!
Rizzo: I can’t!
Rizzo: I DONT WANT HIM TO PICK ME IN STREET FIGHTER!
Sad about the Atari elimination section being skipped since both VoiD and Erobb who managed to survive ended up reaching finals. Nonetheless amazing edit, very engaging and easy to digest
this has been personally the best event thus far its was amazing can't wait for next year!
YOU GOTTA DO A PART 2 THIS WAS ACTUALLY SICK ASF
6:09 Slime holding back the "storming the capital joke"
What a dope event - loved seeing everyone having a great time.
And shout out to my boy Jerax - what a gamer.
So glad smallant made it as far as he did. That man's got some dedication and it showed here today.
Ngl this seems like it would be so much fun, my ego wants it, i love comp settings, and im pretty confident in my all around gaming ability, this was so fun to watch
I've watched dozens of Ludwig events, and this might be my favorite. You could tell everyone working on this had a lot of fun, and I hope there are more events like this in the future. Also S/O Polite for this edit--the best I've seen for a video like this.
> Jaiden going down a waterfall in Minecraft

Gotta love seeing clayster compete in this, one of the goats of comp cod and he immediately starts trash talking round 1 I love him🤣
I love the contrast in the thumbnail and at 0:43 between everyone's real faces, and then there's just *Jaiden* on the left.
53:46 i really love this specific point in the video. every person in the room huddling up together with drinks in their hand and watching a game of pong. they're even putting money on who wins i think idk lol
Casually drops the entire event at 12:00 AM
I feel bad for the EST’s
3am on east coast💀
I lo key think he does this so the video gains traction right now and it’s also 8am-noon in Europe
This was such a fun event, thanks to everyone involved.
This was one of the best events ever held. SO AWESOME LUD!
It was a pleasure working with you to bring Minecraft to life in this exciting tournament 🏆
Truly a wonderful event full of incredible people!
It would’ve been so cool if techno was able to play. I feel like he would have a seriously decent chance in this competition. Nice mc maps btw
What a godlike tournament this was. Hats off to the organisers for getting such a good pool of players, it would've been a worse event if it had been mostly big streamers.
The streams were soo good I got to know new people who I would have never heard about if not for ludwig
This is very interesting, i guess it’s really hard to determine the greatest gamer since you’ll need the current top dogs as representative for each game available and that can be too much for the production, insane concept, enjoyed it, love it!
Honestly, void rlly earned his win on this, got paired with some pretty tough opponents in the cs and carried on the team fps battles, doing well fairly throughout, then having that clean win at the end with pong, GGs void, massive W
bro just spoiled the whole video and didnt even watch it
@@yeeet6129why tf u in the comments of a vid abt a competition and expecting to not get spoiled lmao
@@olc7222 he commented 5 min after the video was posted I wasnt expecting to see who won in comments after clicking on the video 20 min after it was uploaded no
@@yeeet6129bro doesn’t know that a live event was a live event
@@ezrahaskard3527 yuh know thats fair
Dad strength is strong, even in gaming
Love to see Yipes being part of the broadcasting team. He’s my favorite caster by far in any game. He is always entertaining.
It would be cool if Lud does this event again, but on the big stage with an audience!
kind of sad they cut out the Lego 2K part where Void was just casually doing a walkthrough while beating everyone😭
Ludwig the typa guy to drop one of his best videos in several months at midnight and make it an hour long
Try being on the east coast, just finished the video and now it’s 4am
@@danielconnelly4017 I feel ya man, this showed up on my feed at 2:30 am right before I was going to bed and I obviously couldn't say no haha
Dropped at "noon"😊 perfect time!
Well he is catering to his european fans, which matter more.
@@dargus1718 the entire united kingdom is the size of dallas texas never speak again trash
Never thought id ever see aceu smallant and rizzo in the same video, this was awesome to watch throughout, even if youve never played some of the games.
Need one of these every year for sure. Make em defend the belt!
This is honestly very close to my favourite Ludwig production/video ever.Absolutely phenomenal
This event was so much fun, and I would LOVE for this to become an annual thing!
what an all star set of commentators, much love for yipes he always kills it
This needs to be a yearly event it was such a fun watch :)
Lud saying he was gonna quit streaming after 5 years just turned into him becoming the event and esports guy we all love
This was an amazing event, Lud! I hope you do it again every year and keep improving on the brackets and game choices! This was badass!
This was absolutely amazing. I always tend to hate all these events no matter what it is
that is freaking amazing. I don't know how I slept through it when it was streamed live. I was rooting for Jerax and Tenz and was really happy to see them playing other games
amazing event. Lud is really putting work here at CZcams Gaming!
total respect for cutting down the time and if u have free time you should totally check out the full vod cuz the lego race and atari games were super fun imo
This was such an awesome event! I hope this becomes a yearly thing!
What a great event! Loved this, awesome work Lud!
what a great little event, brings the communities together and all in the name of fun, wish i was big enough to get invited on, seams like a really cool social event as well as for gaming
Ludwig always takes his ideas to the extreme, thanks for the entertainment.
This is sick, i hope more people do these events in the future. I love seeing all the steamers and pros in one place.
Would love to see several different events where it’s “best shooting gamer”, “best fighting game player”, etc but anyone can enter. And THEN take the winners of all of those and then make it a “greatest gamer” tournament where it’s a bunch of different games.
Would be waaaay more work with an open bracket but still would be dope.
"Best Gamer ... out of my select group of friends ... in the World"
I feel like something should be included to represent strategy games, roguelikes, and the speedrunning community. Also that was a lot of FPS games.
T1 better be competing next year. The story line is legendary. Erobb's big brother competes to avenge him.
Jaiden vs Sonic Fox in a RL 1v1 was not the crossover I was expecting to see today
Amazing event. I find it hard to focus for 20 minutes sometimes but i watched both days start to finish. Really proud of Jerax and Smant for doing so well and love that Void won. More variety next time would be dope. Maybe Pokemon plus Wolfe?!?
smant is the goat
JERAX is a LEGEND and I am so happy to see him literally anywhere
top 3 placings, jerax, erobb, void. not pros in any of the games featured, still made it top 3. just naturally good gamers. i think thats really cool.
this competion was really fun to watch.
As a high level trackmania player, it was amazing to see how everyone played it especially Rizzo
ludwig is slowly becoming our generations next huge gameshow host
lol. love the addition of jerax..his addition is so random.. hope he teaches ludwig and otv dota
Honestly was betting on Aceu to win, but was entertaining to say the least. Congrats to Void! I would have loved to see Timmy to compete though. Would love to see this become an annual or semi-annual thing.
Man luds events are so enjoyable
This is so damn cool, hope you make this a regular event!!
I loved this event! Great job Ludwig and everyone that contributed. I know next year you will take it even further.Thank you for having my favorite streamer, boxbox!
I hope you do actually end up doing this again next year, it was fun.
if only technoblade was here
One of CZcams's greatest moves since the 2018 rewind was bringing Ludwig on board and letting him shine. Absolutely loving the events!
