“They have gaming skills” - Ludwig calls out critics of Minecraft players who disrespect their skills

In a 20-second long livestream clip, YouTube Gaming star Ludwig called out the critics of some of the most popular Minecraft players who disrespected the latter's skills. The clip attracted significant attention from the streaming community on Twitter.

The clip shared by Twitter user ;jenn (@xsapnap) featured Ludwig providing his take on how some community members try and categorize content creators like Sapnap and Punz as "Minecrafters", saying:

"Sapnap, who's a pretty decent gamer, like, people call him a 'Minecrafter'? That's a disservice to Sapnap, and I would also lump in Punz in that category."

The YouTube Gaming streamer went on to suggest that Minecraft content creators should be referred to as gamers, as some of them have successfully managed to climb the upper echelons of the ranked ladder for competitive games like League of Legends. He said:

"They're just f***ing gamers. All right? Their gaming skills far surpass Minecraft. He's (Sapnap) really good at League (League of Legends), he's like a Platinum player, probably. Pretty cool."
