With a steady average of 30,000 viewers, Ludwig and the Twitch streamer Myth sat down and hosted this wild event. With the game mode being squads, each team was filled with four different creators.

Ludwig sought out when inviting players to make sure there were no pro-competitive Fortnite players involved. His goal was to have it just be content creators. This not only created a leveled playing field but also allowed for a diverse range of skills amongst all of the teams.

Some of these popular names included creators such as DrLupo, Sapnapalt, xQc, and more. To make the tournament more interesting, Ludwig changed teams around mid-tournament.

The popular creator cycled random players through different teams. This made each team have to learn how to adapt and play as a team. They had to be aware that they could lose and gain a different member at any moment.

Whether or not there is a cash prize pool is unclear. Regardless, this tournament has grabbed the attention of many.
