Ludwig talks about losses incurred after hosting a Super Smash Bros. Invitational

The Super Smash Bros. Invitational concluded on October 25, 2022. As the tournament's Grand Finals were wrapping up, Ahgren got together with Aiden and Slime to bid farewell.

At the 09:43 minute mark of the stream, Ludwig claimed that Aiden "only lost $100,000." The latter slyly corrected the former, saying that the actual loss they incurred was around $200,000.

The Los Angeles-based content creator was shocked to hear the statement and loudly exclaimed:

"What the f**k?! You lost $200,000? You piece of s**t! Are you f***ing kidding?! Do you know how many Mogul Mails I'd have to do? Do you know?! Twitch drama's over! Twitch drama is over, you piece of s**t! We're going to lose it all! Buy my f***ing bidets, please! See you later. You f***ing idiot!"

Three days later, the YouTube Gaming sensation provided additional details about the event, saying that he lost $150,000 instead of $200,000. He said:

"'Did you actually lose $200k on the (Super) Smash (Bros.) event?' No, that was a lie. I did not lose. A lot of people thought that was true. They thought I lost $200k. I did not lose $200k in the Smash event. I lost $150k."

The 27-year-old content creator sarcastically clapped after making the revelation and continued the conversation by saying:

"They said it couldn't be done! They said it couldn't be done! I'm not f***ing dumb! All right? I'm not out here losing $200k. I'm not a f***ing idiot! I know how to run a godd*mn event. Come hell or high water."

The short discussion concluded with Ludwig claiming that he "for sure lost a lot."
