Livestreamer and internet personality Ludwig Ahgren recently announced his latest content creator competition, and he is on the hunt for the best of the best. The self-proclaimed mogul took to Twitter on April 28 to broadcast that he wanted to find the best upcoming streamer within a four-week streaming competition. In that regard, he urged small creators to sign up.

For this competition, Ahgren has partnered with the producers behind Top Gun: Maverick to seek out what he believes to be the next YouTube Maverick. A maverick is an unorthodox-minded individual who stands out from the rest; and the content creator seems set to look for his unique match.

Top Gun: Maverick, featuring Tom Cruise, is set to be released in theaters on May 27.


Fans react to Ludwig's announcement

Content creators and fans alike are geared up and ready to go. Many took to the announcement with good vibes, already heading to the link provided to post their applications.

Others were taken aback by the enforced requirements: Content creators needed to be a resident of the United States or Canada, and had to be 18 or older. It seems like many potential participants were displeased by these rules, especially the location requirement. However, that didn't stop people from showing their worth in the comment section.

Viewers also nominated their own friends and favorites for the competition. There was a general consensus that many appreciated the livestreamer for using his large platform to bring attention to talented content creators who struggle daily to beat the internet algorithm.
