The time is upon us—Ludwig’s Streamer Games have begun.
The event, spanning both Aug. 17 and 18, sees streamers and content creators from numerous platforms battle it out for points, prizes, and glory. Ludwig himself is participating, with the Games mimicking the Olympics in a way—various track and field events as well as team sports encompass the weekend. However, only one team can be crowned champions.
The event, sponsored by Red Bull and Streamlabs, will be broadcast live on Twitch and YouTube and held on-site at Leuzinger High School, California. Event passes are even available for people to attend in person. Here’s everything you need to know about Ludwig’s Streamer Games.

All teams participating in Ludwig’s Streamer Games
Ludwig’s Streamer Games sees 32 creators from across the streaming universe converge in an all-around set of events to battle for their respective teams and platforms. Each team consists of four creators battling out in each event, with both individual and team events included in the Games.
Some events mimic those seen in last week’s Olympic Games, while others differ slightly, such as the one-meter dash (although who would actually like to see that at the Olympics?). Whichever team has the highest score after the Games on day two is the champion.

All events and results for Ludwig’s Streamer Games
99m + 1m Dash
100 Thieves’ Vinnie Hacker left all others in the dust in the 99m sprint, winning by a clear three lengths over next-best Pointcrow and FaZe’s Adapt. In the arguably less-prestigious 1m “dash” that featured numerous false starts, Team Red Bull’s Lachlan came out ahead to score the points.

Tablecloth Pull
Team Red Bull took out the win narrowly, with referees deciding that iamfallfromgrace’s tablecloth pull was better despite the loss of one item as her candlesticks remained upright.
Tug of War
TBD: Day two.
Tungsten Cube Toss
NiceWigg kept the points rolling for 100 Thieves with a ridiculous 17.5ft cube toss, nearly two feet longer than the next-best competitor. The event was also marred with controversy after referees broke the expert measuring tape, forcing an equipment swap mid-ruling.
Volleyball
Team 100 Thieves took out the volleyball with an 8-5 win over Team Twitch in the final. The volleyball event has been widely regarded as the best and most competitive event so far at the Streamer Games.
Water Bucket Challenge
In a controversial round of competition that saw referees rule out teams for cheating and a far-from-accurate measuring system, Team Podcast and Team Twitch shared the first-place points with 1,003mL of water each, ahead of 100 Thieves and YouTube at 1,002mL.
Final standings and Streamer Games Champion
After day one of Ludwig’s Streamer Games, Team 100 Thieves leads the pack with 28 points with quite a gap to the rest of the pack. Margins narrow with YouTube (19) just ahead of Podcast (17). Only four points separate the second through to fifth teams.
With another full day of action to come, the victory is still up for grabs for all teams in attendance!
