Streaming sensation Ludwig Ahgren has made a triumphant return to Twitch, marking his comeback in the wake of the conclusion of his contract with YouTube. Over the past three years, Ludwig has had a remarkable impact on both platforms, showcasing his influence and star power in the streaming realm.
In November 2021, Ludwig shook the streaming community by announcing his transition to YouTube, leaving behind his longtime base on Twitch. This bold move aimed to explore new horizons in content creation and expand his audience. As of November 30, 2024, Ludwig’s YouTube contract has officially expired, granting him free-agent status.
To commemorate this pivotal moment in his career, Ludwig held a special League of Legends event on Twitch, reigniting his presence on the platform where he first found fame. However, it’s essential to acknowledge the substantial success he achieved during his time on YouTube, as illustrated by data from streaming analytics provider, Streams Charts.
Ludwig’s engagement on YouTube was nothing short of phenomenal. His contract, which lasted three years, resulted in a staggering 50 million hours of watch time across 659 broadcasts. Additionally, he gained an impressive 3.6 million new subscribers during this period.
Impressive Milestones During YouTube Tenure
According to Streams Charts, Ludwig’s most notable event was the Mogul Chessboxing showcase in 2021, which achieved a peak of 317,000 live viewers. This wasn’t his only triumph; other major events included a reaction to Dream’s viral face reveal, which attracted 162,000 viewers, and a live airing of his Mogul Money game show, gathering over 146,000 live viewers.
As Ludwig reflects on his next steps in streaming, he expresses uncertainty about his future platform choices. While he considers whether to focus exclusively on Twitch or YouTube—or possibly alternate between them—he has made one thing clear: he will not be venturing to Rumble or Kick, eliminating those platforms from his options.
The streaming landscape is more dynamic than ever this year, with notable accomplishments from other creators as well. For instance, Kai Cenat recently broke records with Mafiathon 2 on Twitch, while IShowSpeed has captivated audiences globally on multiple international tours.
As Ludwig steps back into the spotlight, his journey continuing on Twitch is one to watch, promising exciting developments ahead for his growing fanbase.
