Ludwig’s team was eliminated after facing Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng’s team. The loss left Ludwig frustrated with his own performance and the format of influencer gaming events.

However, his team could not get past Doublelift’s side, ending Ludwig’s run in the competition.The loss quickly led to a heated reaction. Ludwig described the event as one of his worst experiences playing League of Legends and blamed the way influencer tournaments bring together players with very different skill levels.“Dude, that was ****ing miserable! That's probably the least fun I've ever had playing the game in my life,” Ludwig said.He also admitted that he had made mistakes during the match. However, his frustration soon turned toward the tournament format, which he believed put less experienced players in a difficult position against stronger competitors.“Holy ****, they're the worst idea known to man!” he exclaimed while criticizing influencer-led gaming events.Ludwig then singled out European League of Legends player Croco, claiming the player had spent around 8,000 hours playing the game. He questioned how someone with that much experience could compete against less experienced participants in an influencer tournament.“I've never ****ing heard of Croco, bro!” Ludwig said before making a personal remark about the player's time spent gaming.Despite his anger, Ludwig ended that part of his rant by acknowledging the invitation. “GG's, though, straight-up, man. Really appreciate the invite by Jynxzi,” he said.The comment showed that his frustration was mainly directed at the competition and his own experience rather than being a complete rejection of Jynxzi's invitation.Ludwig Ahgren Calls Riot Games a “Terrorist Organization” and Threatens to Quit League of LegendsLudwig's rant continued after a viewer asked whether he would return to the game.

He ended the rant by admitting that speaking his mind had helped him calm down.“That actually felt really good. That actually felt awesome, I'm not going to lie!” he added.You use AI every day.
