The end of this video was genuinely sweet and kind. So many UA-camrs and streamers make it big before ever developing themselves as people first… I think that, to a degree, is what sets Ludwig, Stanz, Atrioc, and others apart. They have a life outside of content creation and demonstrate they know the importance of their friends and family first.
That’s why I’m such a fan of northernlion. He’s just a normal ass dad who happens to stream, and he had a whole adult life and real job for years before he hit it big, so he’s still relatable
I started watching Lud mid Ludlocke pre Carson and Schlatt Twitch Jeopardy era and this video kinda reminded me how much his daily uploads meant to me at the time. I was a closer getting home at 12-1am every night and looked forward to his videos the moment I got home. I’m glad to see everything he has, is currently and will accomplish in the future
yeah, i'm happy for lud and everything he's done, but damn do i miss those days. one of my fondest memories on youtube/twitch is staying up until 3 in the morning watching lud atrioc and stanz play monkey ball for hours and hours right around when covid hit and school was closed. this video was really nostalgic for me
that twitch jeopardy showing up in my recommended was how i found him around the second half of the ludlocke, watching those last handful of runs live were some of my favorite memories from the months leading up to covid
@@meatsauce12 saaaame dude, the monkey ball streams were elite, especially since I had just finished monkey ball 2 just before that. the atrioc monkey ball video from 2021 is also insanely funny
I genuinely thought we'd never get something like this cause like half the appeal of the dive videos is that Stanz is the most clueless man on the internet, but this was actually really awesome. Definitely gotta do a QT dive (Maybe even Big A?)
@@cdogthehedgehog6923 I was too actually because they literally jokingly said it in the last deep dive. about sugar pine seven and I watched that yesterday.
Loved this video so much. It’s so cool hearing the story from someone who’s been there since day dot. I think one of the common threads in the Ludwig story is his never-ending commitment to the people that helped him along the way: Stanz, Atrioc, Slime, QT, the Melee scene, etc. Not to be parasocial, but Ludwig the person-not the streaming person-seems to be a genuinely thoughtful and honest guy by all accounts. I hope he influences a new wave of creators to follow his lead.
Thanks for this Stanz! I didn't know any of you existed until pogchamps happened and I saw lud enter the chess world. But definitely happy to watch yall and appreciate getting this bit of insight into his earlier years
I'm genuinely just moved that there's a video that I want watch, from someone who loves and respects Ludwig both personally and professionally, to help fans understand, love and be inspired by Ludwig too. And to learn that in no small way does Ludwig love and respect his friends, it's just awesome all round. Thank you for this Stanz
I think caanths underestimate how much among us ludwig was playing because I was a regular among us watcher and he only played like once or twice a week at least with the popular people, you have to remember this was around the time valkyrae and sykunno were getting close to 100k viewers and the biggest among us star was on facebook
nah that end part was perfect... i saw it was coming to an end and thought man.. this video and stream seemed like something special for stanz to do and make.. but idk something feels off about this just ending with however the stream ended... and then the end bit popped up. proud to say ludwig is my streamer and through that found and watch all the amazinng pepople he calls friend.
I forgot how exactly I came across Ludwig but I used to watch disguised toast and they had that one Minecraft server and I remember watching a clip of idk I think him and mi young and actively going to find his channel cause I was like this guy is hilarious and he almost instantly became my favorite streamer and is still someone I try to watch every day still. Ludbud 4 life
I know alot about Ludwig, but I really only like him as a person. I don't watch alot of his main channel content I like his podcast mainly, I already knew about melee. What Ludwig introduce me to is Stanz and Atrioc, ludwig is a person I like but don't really watch outside of events. It's not that I think he's bad I think he's good but I think he would agree that it's made for different people. I have my tempo with Stanz, Atroic, slime and at times ludwig. I greatly appreciate what he has done, even if am only like 50% in the lud zone.
I remember finding ludwig somewhere before the ludlocke. It's incredible how quickly things went from me having to convince my friends that "this guy on twitch is the funniest dude on the platform and you should check him out" to the subathon levels of notoriety. It was an insane journey. Also you and atrioc have since become my comfort content so... guess I have him to thank for that as well.
The more content I watch about Ludwig the more I'm thoroughly convinced he's just an all around awesome human being. And my friend. We hang out, almost every night! Usually from 9 to midnight eastern, 6 to 9 west coast.
I didn't know Ludwig until he was playing among us with Rae, Sykkuno, Corpse, Jackcepticeye, etc. Then saw recommended videos of him reacting to reddit and he was a funny guy without being annoying or boring Edit: omg also the subathon, forgot about that, ppl kept talking about a subathon and I had no idea why it was a big deal, until I saw funny clips of his timer going up and activities he did was both gaming and irl stuff
You should know Atrioc isn’t good with taxes. 😂 I remember his story with the tax Ninja or something where he went after they were closed on the last day
This is such a cute fucking video. Having found Ludwig through the original wiki races with the 3 of you did, watching the meteoric rise to actual fame has been crazy. Great video!
so funny how stanz regrets not playing more among us at the time but he also didnt play any lethal company. that game was made for good content creators
I think it's pretty crazy Twitch Jeoprady wasn't mentioned here. It's how a found Ludwig (since I mostly come from a more Minecraft-esque background) since he collaborated with many of the large streamers like Schlatt, Connoreatspants, Swaggersouls, etc. Twitch Jeopardy was also obviously the founding block for Mogul Money and Mogul Money Live, with Mogul Money Live being one of the first large-scale events he hosted that have now become more of the norm for his content. I think their impact on his ability reach to communities across UA-cam, as well as his collaboration with OTV, cannot be understated and should be mentioned as a significant aspect of his modern success as a content creator.
I watched Ludwig just randomly play games on youtube once when he was a small creator, and I imidiately thought "This guy is gonna become a massive content creator". Sometimes you can just tell with certain peoples charisma. It was always gonna happen for Ludwig as long as he was willing to put in the work, and clearly he was.
Been looking through my search history to try to figure out when I started watching ludwig but it cuts off March 2020, and I was watching by then. Think it was either unban forms, among us, or his first chess video.
When I first saw ludwig blowing up I thought "isn't that the dude from the reads?" then I kinda started to not like him. I thought he was a sellout and would never mention melee again. Then he played it on stream and that was the instant my opinion changed from unsure to "yeah I love this guy." I mean in a completely non-parasocial way. He was just the right guy at the right time and dude is an insanely hard worker. The fact he has constantly kept melee going the best he can is incredible and I would love to thank him for that but I am shadowbanned in his chat for some reason lol. But its all good I am sure I said something stupid. Anyways this whole video was very sweet.
Ludwig was my introduction into streaming in general. I had a vague idea of what streamers maybe did, until I heard about the streamathon for a month, and how big it was, so I started watching him, and slowly got into other creators too like Will Neff and Hasan (I’ll always be proud of the fact that I watched Will first before Hasan, because Will is always made out to be just Hasan’s buddy who streams too, but Will is so underrated and wildly talented) I’ve been a day one Yard listener, and now I’m here watching Stanz because he’s the goat 😎 I’ve even streamed myself before, and have a pretty small following, but it’s fun as hell! God bless Lud 🫶🏻
random weird thing.. i got recommended this video and i recognize your name and face.. iirc you were working for geng and helped out csgo player bntet from indonesia in the airport when he came to the US to play for geng..
@@ArchiverOfWorlds creatures begins/creatures/creatures ends/ cow chop begins/ cow chop/ cow chop ends. That’s six videos. I’ll do the prep for them all lol
dude i always loved QT I saw her from AustinShows old content and she was always jsut so damn savage on there but was like always right so I had a bunch of respect for her. she also gave off the jsut right amount of crazy where you knew it was a joke XD and I found out about Lud from the Among us era, mostly because of Corpse
God that would be a pretty great rabbit hole. Such a huge and important part of multiple different eras of gaming content creation, and some juicy dramas do dive into
I’m so glad that they give QT her cred
The fact she played a character on rajj and then somehow converted those viewers into watching her when she didnt play a character is very impressive.
lud was known as two things:
slime's friend
qt's boyfriend/roommate
True!!!!!

Well, there's something else that sets atrioc apart... Not many people look up ai porn of the friends!
Edit: *their friends, not the friends!
Change Atrioc to Squeex and I agree 😂
@leahcarnevale7340 considering he said he wasn't looking at shit of his friends, you're just beating a misinformed dead horse.
That’s why I’m such a fan of northernlion. He’s just a normal ass dad who happens to stream, and he had a whole adult life and real job for years before he hit it big, so he’s still relatable

Atrioc not paying his taxes after the whole Ludwig thing is crazy
If we're getting dives with friends, I'm now begging for sequels with QT, CDawg, and the yard boys
We need a schlatt lore video. That man has done it all lmao

Stanz putting Ludwig's stream outro song as the outro of this video was a nice touch.
Thanks for this Stanz! I didn't know any of you existed until pogchamps happened and I saw lud enter the chess world. But definitely happy to watch yall and appreciate getting this bit of insight into his earlier years
Divemas has been my favorite stans segment so far besides possibly task manager
this feels weird... (ok I watched the video and this is just wholesome)
So crazy to know that ludwig was actually stanz's father 😮😮😮
One of his biggest bumps was when he hosted Twitch Jeopardy with Jschlatt and some other crafters
I'm genuinely just moved that there's a video that I want watch, from someone who loves and respects Ludwig both personally and professionally, to help fans understand, love and be inspired by Ludwig too.
And to learn that in no small way does Ludwig love and respect his friends, it's just awesome all round. Thank you for this Stanz
Great from Stanz to shoutout these small streamers!
When Stanz stans his mans

Really neat to see Stanz lead a dive for once, especially on a certified goat
Really enjoying divemas ❤

Please who is the second voice in the video

Caanths keeps talking about the GOAT, but he's clearly embodying it.
This is such a cute fucking video. Having found Ludwig through the original wiki races with the 3 of you did, watching the meteoric rise to actual fame has been crazy. Great video!
lud makes me feel so inadequate for still living with my parents at 24
Stanz and atrioc were pre ludwig? Always seemed like it was the opposite lol
I remember the Melee days and boy the mango fans resented Lud wondering who is this guy trying to be king of melee.
so funny how stanz regrets not playing more among us at the time but he also didnt play any lethal company. that game was made for good content creators

Feels crazy that I've consumed so much content in this sphere that i know almost all of these things
Stanz covering Ludwig Postmortem is great! Long live mogul mail though.
Ludwig is the sweetheart friend we all wish we had. The guy is just wholesome!
I hadn't heard of Ludwig till the 2020 among us boom when I saw him in a valkyrae lobby so this is actually pretty insightful for me lol
Stanz been doing great on YT
As a big ludwig fan who cant exactly remember when i started watching, i hope this video hass my first Lud moment in it
its actually insane that ive been watching him this long now wow
Been looking through my search history to try to figure out when I started watching ludwig but it cuts off March 2020, and I was watching by then.
Think it was either unban forms, among us, or his first chess video.
Been waiting on this one
Bro once i think about it i started watching ludwig in like early high school and now im in college
divemass is so cluch ty stanz ty canths have great holidays
Caanths is our best Christmas present!! 🎄
No way Ludwig talking about his dad dying got interrupted by a White Claw ad
Found him from the offline Minecraft server. Him and Ash being scammers was golden.
didn’t see this coming, but i love it
Honestly, the among us era is how I found literally everyone. I didn't know any streamers before that. At all.
Enjoyed watching this
I am so excited to learn about this ludwig guy
Stanz really this is what I was thinking about doing this for my first video
Oh hey its slime's friend!
Not bringing up the streak is surprising
The Dubbin outro song at the end 🥺🥲
I'm happy to know Stanz is a Succession viewer
i love these deep dives they are great
Does anyone else remember the ludiwg and qt scuffed karaoke? that was one of my favorite videos when it came out
I hope he doesnt get cancelled after this vid goes up
I thought they were friends waay earlier than that for some reason
I watch rhese dices just as mich for the editor as i do stanz
I found Ludwig from the roast of Hugo Gonzalez
this somehow feels like an obituary
ludwig ahgren died in 2011?
I found Ludwig through among us (i know) and the only one i consistently watch. now im more of a yard viewer.
Stanz made ludwig
Surprised that you didn’t mention atrioc being a hater and saying he would never make it.
He’s electric
I didn’t even start watching Lud til 2021 so this is helpful to know.
okay, fine. I forgive ludwig
We know what luddy is going to react to next time 😂
wait... is this all leading up to Stanz doing a deep dive into Stanz??
