Fans react to Ludwig's announcement

Content creators and fans alike are geared up and ready to go. Many took to the announcement with good vibes, already heading to the link provided to post their applications.

Others were taken aback by the enforced requirements: Content creators needed to be a resident of the United States or Canada, and had to be 18 or older. It seems like many potential participants were displeased by these rules, especially the location requirement. However, that didn't stop people from showing their worth in the comment section.

Viewers also nominated their own friends and favorites for the competition. There was a general consensus that many appreciated the livestreamer for using his large platform to bring attention to talented content creators who struggle daily to beat the internet algorithm.

The importance of Ludwig Mondays

This is not the first time Ahgren has hosted such a generous competition, either. In fact, he is well known in the community for such content. The internet personality regularly endorses streamer tournaments as a means to shine a light on underrated creators by having them compete for a grand prize cash pool.

Every Monday, the content creator hosts Fortnite tournaments on his channel. One of his most recent Fortnite competitions was designated for small streamers only. It particularly shed light on those who average less than 1,000 viewers and may not have even hit Affiliate status on Twitch.

Epic Games, Fortnite's publishing company, fully endorses Ludwig Mondays and it's pretty clear that his last Fortnite tournament was a success.
