Ludwig Breaking His Own YouTube Record With His Chessboxing Event Leaves IShowSpeed Fans Unimpressed

The YouTube streamer Ludwig Ahgren must be on cloud nine as he recently won the ‘Creator of the Year’ title at the Game Awards 2022. But he achieved another great feat, setting a new streaming viewership record with his latest chessboxing event. However, IShowSpeed fans are not happy with the attention Ludwig’s event is amassing.

Ludwig Ahgren started streaming on Twitch, soon becoming one of the biggest stars in Twitch. But in 2020, he transitioned to YouTube on an exclusive contract. His move hasn’t been disappointing for him or the Google-owned platform as his livestream events bring over hundred and thousands of viewerships.

Ludwig breaks his viewership record with the chessboxing event

The 27-year-old YouTuber recently hosted Mogul Chessboxing Championship on December 11 at the Galen Center in Los Angeles. It was a unique competition where many famous creators and streamers like Disguised Toast, Andrea Botrez, and PointCrow competed. In this event, the competitors exchanged punches while playing Super Smash Bros Melee or standard chess in the alternative rounds.

This was one of the grandest events hosted by the Mogul Mail creator. At one point, the five-hour-long stream hit a viewership of over 270,000. It was the most number of views Ludwig has ever got on his livestream. He first set the record of 146,000 plus viewership by simply livestreaming the Minecraft streamer Dream’s face reveal.
