I had never heard of him before but he’s a pretty douchey guy, no? What does he do to have such a following, I swear he had some of the shittiest takes and cringest moments of being disrespectful. Was one of my favorite non vct events otherwise
Ehh not in my opinion. He is streamer/youtuber mixture, got to known from Smash community IIRC and grew fast because he also did good YouTube content instead of just streaming 24/7. If I'm not wrong he was starting stand-up comedian or at least wanted to be one before content creation. So I think that explains quite a lot. Just confidence mixed with content creator/entertainer brain. But I like him. He has done a lot of cool events and usually seems pretty chill. Its been a meme on Twitch that he is unfunny "pepepains guy" and I can see that his personality isn't for everyone. I don't watch him and I don't find him that entertaining alone, but based on events that he has hosted or where he has been participant he seems like pretty nice guy and enables other content creators around him. Little douchey maybe.
and I think everytime you have streamers etc who actually spend money/find sponsors to do cool events its always nice. For example has hosted some Smash tournaments and thats important because Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about esport etc.
I think thats just his comedy style, the douchey-ness is supposed to be ironic. You can feel however you want about him though, when it comes down to it he's just an enthusiast that wanted to put on a tournament
especially when hes the least knowledgeable person about Valorant in the room and he knows it
Maybe brand recognition in the Valorant scene but I dont think he really makes that much money off of this? And as far as I know, he's doing pretty well financially, theres way easier cash grabs than running a Valorant tournament 💀
plus he plays the game, that makes him more of an enthusiast than 90% of the braindeads on this site
also I dont care about ludwig, if you wanna hate him thats fine. I will forget he exists until the next mogul mail video shows up in my recommendeds
it's fine if you think he's cringe and personally not a content creator for you, but don't say he's a douchey person based off of the single event you've watched him participate in. even though i'm a fan of his, it's really unfair to ANY person to judge their whole personality off of one interaction.
I think alot of his content or jokes are obvious sarcasm or friendly banter. I can see why you think he is douchey based on first impression.
I don't watch him much, but I know a few good things that he did.
There was a streamer that scammed 200k+ by making excuses to borrow money from his loyal followers. The streamer used that money to gamble and lost it all. From what I remember Ludwig ended picking up the tab and paying that community back.
The smash esport was abandoned by its publisher /Nintendo. He ended up promoting and funded a couple tournament.
From what I know of, he doesn't take stream sub/donation but it goes to his mods
Those acts alone makes me think he is better than most top streamers already.
that averagejonas thread is fucking crazy man, people hate on him for no reason when he's just a dude playing games
i don't get the irrational hate for him either, i guess people decide in their brains that he's responsible for every comp game they've lost due to lineups and decide to project their hatred onto his personality
actually braindead take, if you took a second to look at his content besides this event, you'd see all the big events he's put on, all the money and attention he puts into Melee, how he pays his mods, offers talented people full salaried jobs to do what they love, and recently helped pay back all the victims of sliker's scam (~200k). i don't like being parasocial and speaking on a streamer's character, but like Mr. Beast, he gives back to his community so it's fair to say he appears to be a good person.
people can call him cringe or whatever, but he's really fucking smart when it comes to content. any banter done at the event was done in jest, he's just playing into the fact that he knows 10x less about Valorant than any other person there. if you want a better look into his personality, check out his channel called "Mogul Mail", where he reports on news and gives his take on stuff. genuinely good takes from him and even recently he put out a video correcting all the mistakes he's made in his past reports.
he might not be funny or entertaining to everyone, but he at least shows that he's a good person through his actions. that alone is better than 98% of all streamers and content creators.
