Popular YouTube streamer Ludwig Ahgren is set to host his latest venture into competitive Super Smash Bros.<\/em> with the three-day Ludwig Smash Invitational, running from Oct. 21 to 23. Along with featuring top-tier Super Smash Bros. Melee<\/em> competition, Ludwig’s Invitational will also be the streamer’s first Ultimate<\/em> tournament as well.<\/p>
Both games’ invitationals will feature 32-player brackets, 24 automatically slotted into the main event while a last-chance qualifier will determine the remaining spots. One of the largest prize pools of the year for both games, the Melee <\/em>and Ultimate<\/em> tournaments boast $30,000 respective prize pools. The event will be livestreamed across Ludwig, Alpharad, Ludwig VODs, and Mogul Moves’ YouTube channels, showing nearly all matches in the entire event.<\/p>
While this is one of the year’s most exciting Super Smash Bros.<\/em> tournaments for both games, the event faced numerous issues prior to its start. The $60,000 event dealt with a massive flood from an unknown water source and a last-minute sponsorship pull-out. After securing a replacement sponsor from MrBeast and seemingly drying out the venue, the Ludwig Smash Invitational has officially kicked off.<\/p>
Here are all the players, pools, and results for the Ludwig Smash Invitational.<\/p>
