He streamed pretty much every game and made some pretty egregious plays but all the chips fell into place anyway. Not even saying he was lucky, it was awesome to watch him get plat.
@@Revion91 i doubted him hard gotta be honest, but he had an amazing run these last 3 days and he deserved it, watched some of it on stream he was so locked in, this game started rough but his mental was amazing and they pulled it back
T1 told Sodapoppin during a coaching session to watch a Lud VOD. That’s probably the biggest possible complement. T1 used Lud as an example for how to improve.
This has been the greatest Ludwig arc of all time. Failing all his 2024 resolutions, no one believed him, down in the silver trenches for so long, climbed nothing from League Week, the doubters seemed like they were thriving, his work schedule and life collapsed in the grind, fell sick, and he fucking soared to Plat on the backs of one of the greatest win streaks ever.
@ Well, he didn’t lose a whole company-Offbrand is still doing pretty well gaming wise, just the production side was a failure. It is a huge L, but it was always going to be a risk, and the creator economy turned out to be too volatile for a business idea like that. And now we get Ludwig the contentmaxxing creator for 2025 :)
@@tighegilmore9202 I just checked and it's top 22.5%, 10% would be emerald Still impressive as hell though considering his skill level at the start was actually iron

Dam I just realized I haven’t seen Lud in so long, and I had no idea how his LoL journey was going and it’s because the moved back to Twitch. It was dope getting a notification and being able to hop on a stream with at most an ad that’s skippable after 5 seconds instead of these forced long ads, then being able to casually rewind the stream to any point I wanted to catch up with anything I may have missed. I’m just not into Twitch like that, bummer because Lud was super entertaining to watch stream.
Him talking about how he's gonna go over the whole journey got me excited, reminded me of his old "how I accidentally won" videos, like that one Pokemon tournament where he met Wolfe Glick. Here's hoping its a banger stream!
@UhOhTheStoveIsOn Oh for sure. I think one of the top comments on it is breaking down how it happened to line up with an anime tournament arc and that elevated it for me. Plus it helped introduce me to Wolfe and I've been watching him for a long time now
@@FFXfever Ludwig put in the work too not just playing. Dude has a spread sheet with match ups and hero info and even while travelling Japan with Connor was watching league in his off time
I feel like lud is the type of dude, once someone challenged him to do something, he would absolutely said "Aight, bet" and actually could done/ accomplished it.
Not going to lie, I lost faith for a while. But my main issue wasn't that I thought he couldn't do it -- but that he'd be too busy to grind enough games. I didn't realize he'd go full League degen mode. Grats! Can't wait to see Tyler1 complimenting you.
I mean he's not. He literally had Challenger coaches over his shoulder the entire time. Even so, his tenacity is impressive. He doesn't give up, and I respect that.
@@Bellany1337 he had challenger coaches over his shoulders for the first 400 games that he was hard stuck lmao he did the last on his own by actually reflecting on his mistakes and not blaming his teams
Honestly was not expecting this, but well done! Also, I was totally expecting Lud's first reaction (after processing the achievement) would be to declare "I'm uninstalling this and never playing this again!" and had a laugh when he literally tried to do exactly that.
But he couldn't. I think he will continue to play in the new season. But it won't be crazy long streaks, unless he eventually decides he wants to hit Diamond. Which would be insane.
I know nothing about league. I’ve watched countless hours of his league streams since this challenge started and I still couldn’t tell you the difference between smite, ult, and Barron. I get the general concept of the game though. With that being said I watched his last 6 games and it was cinema for it all because it felt different this time. I’m so happy for him. Not just because he got plat, but because time and time again, he proves his own subreddit wrong 😅. Seriously though, Lud really is an example of how far determination can get you. But we can never let him know that. We gotta keep our boy humble. He’ll for ever be our lil 🐱boy that gets big for us.
He actually did it. The madman actually pulled through. Props to the believers. As someone who was extremely positive on his improvement these past few months, even I doubted he could make it. Anyone who tries to belittle this at this point is just salty. Getting plat within a season of picking up the game is damn impressive.
3:34 when choosing between signout or exit he hovered over sign out and couldnt bring himself to click so flicked the exit. bro is hooked. he’ll be back
I 100% doubted i never thought hed make it with the time he had but i have been fully proven wrong. I never thought he'd be able to dedicate enough time to this challenge being the biggest part but holy shit that ending winning streak blew my ass out, he deserves all the glory he proved everyone wrong
Well deserved let’s go!! I was watching for 12 hours for the last days and all the others and Lud was going insanely crazy over the past 3 days he literally completed the whole climb in less days than league week. He improved exponentially and couldn’t be stopped in macro the whole time. THIS MAN IS A GAMER STOP DOWNPLAYING IT LUD WENT CTAZY AND COMPLETED THIS CHALLENGE!!
I went to bed after a L when he was Gold II and figured I'd watch him try and make it today. I wake up and find he'd promptly won his next 8 games and made it already. Respect.
you see how euphoric he got when he made it to his ultimate objective? i got the exact same way when i reached diamond. this game is a fucking drug.. i've been clean for 8 months and this clip made me want to go back
Well love him for beating that when he fell to silver 1 with 4 days remaining, i thought this was over but he came back also this just shows how much ludwig loves his own hair and what lengths will he do to preserve it
Get out friend, it's very possible despite what people might want you to believe. Some examples include: playing even more addictive but at least not tilting team pvp games ie balatro, switching your computer to linux as the new root level anticheat for league can't run on it, making concessions ie only watching content creators and/or esports but never playing etc
Listen this is a huge accomplishment, he even got Tyler1's applause. That being said, watching his gameplay and knowing that I'm still stuck in Gold makes me depressed. Then I remember that I get to dedicate like 2-3 hours a week to this game and he gets paid 5x my salary to play it 12 hours a day. Wait... now I'm even more depressed.
Fell asleep watching the stream last night and I got in trouble earlier today at my federal job because I had his stream playing on my phone and managed to catch him winning live. Very hype
I'll be real, I was never a believer, I thought there was no way he could get to plat, which makes it all the more impressive. Props gamer man, I wasn't familiar with your dedication
This game had a Teemo Support who was flame horizoning him first 10minutes of the game, A Viktor who was tilted, In the 20-30min mark Lucian DC’d and we all thought the run was over but he reconnected seconds later. Game was tense
It’s not …playing amumu in the jungle in low elo now if he wants to go higher we’ll he’s gonna have switch champs up because amumu gets shit on in plat+
Huge respect to Lud, a few years ago I would have expected him to tell us that he somehow scammed his way to plat, but this was way to hard to expect this. Props to him. I'm not sure if I would have the mental facilities to run into soloq every day without any/much progress for as long or as much as he did
You gotta realize the shit tyler1 went through, this guy lived, ate and breathed league like 16 hours a day for months on end when he went for challenger on every role
Ludwig didn't tilt since he didn't have enough energy because of his sickness and this led to him winning way more lmao
He chucked his cat tree at the wall to start off the win streak lmao

Unless he has to evacuate to save his life

Tyler commented that he respected Ludwig and he isn't as bad as he started. That says alot
If we're being honest, his grind to plat has been one of the most T1 things Lud could do. Gotta respect when someone does what you do.
That's 2 complements tho

If anyone couldn't hit plat with all the handholding and coaching lud got, they'd be actually braindead. Guy got ghost-boosted lmao
he also has the money and the time to do sit for 12 hours a day playing a league, the regular person just can't afford that
League week did one good thing, which was convince Lud to stop playing Fiddle and switch back to Amumu.
What a journey.

you can hear the rasp in his voice. thats a dubbin
Ludwig made the right choice one tricking on Jungle. It's the only role and scenario where a hardstuck bronze can climb to it within a year.
Can't wait for Tyler1 to say ' You're still trash'.
HES SICK WITH IT
literally and figuratively
I can't believe he's actually done it after watching this journey
Pretty easy when u can play all day and it’s your job to play, you spam enough games you will hit plat eventually
