Born on July 6, 1995, in Hollis, New Hampshire, Ludwig Anders Ahgren has evolved from a competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee commentator into one of the most influential figures in digital media. After graduating from Arizona State University with a double major in English Literature and Journalism, Ludwig began streaming part-time in 2018, transitioning to a full-time career in 2019. His meteoric rise was cemented in March 2021 during a record-breaking 31-day subathon that made him the most-subscribed streamer in Twitch history at the time. Later that year, he signed an exclusive deal with YouTube Gaming, signaling a shift toward large-scale production and event hosting. By 2026, Ludwig has solidified his status as a 'media mogul' through his creative agency Offbrand, his ownership stake in the esports organization Shopify Rebellion, and his annual high-production events like the Streamer Games. Known for his wit and community-driven content, he continues to lead the industry by blending traditional entertainment formats with live-streaming innovation, successfully pivoting from a lone creator to a diversified media operator.
