Riot Games Stole $50,000 From Me 

It’s his sitcom quirk! everyone has a catch phrase, right? Well not Ludwig, his “thing” is absolutely abhorrent business decisions! He really is sticking to the bit, maybe a little too well...

Inverse Warren buffet

@@bread_cat7878 bro got 95's on his English tests

@@bread_cat7878 I need the thing in your pfp I need it now

@@ImWoolly it’s Jinbesan from San-X, the same company that makes Rilakkuma :)

Lud's own savings are a volatile asset somehow

is it robbing when he does it to himself

It was literally just clickbait tho?

Tf do you mean robbed? His dumbass wasted his own $50k.

@@abcdefzhij he paid 50k for seats that were only good for like 5% of the tournament and the rest of the time were some of the worst seats in the building. If that’s not getting scammed I don’t know what is

That's a good business tbh. Get paid to pay someone to do the thing.

exactly they all hate setting stuff up so there's a need for it lol

He knows first hand the shitty parts of the setting up shit.

well yeah, so he's not the one doing it but his company

it funny cause hes the guy sykkuno go to whenever he wants a tournament but doesnt want to do it himself lol

… why is this accurate

He pays he mods much more than he loses LUL

I thought that was his whole thing though lmaoo. Bro is dedicated.....in a wrong way almost. lol

Fr😂😂😂

For lux player

Ahri players lol

Game is free wdym

@@battlebots1 Found the newbie

I think a human soul is worth even more than that

nobody that watches ludwig actually thinks he's going to spend his money on something that makes sense and that's why we love him

His donations go toward his mods anyway.

You think he needs donations to eat... lol

He's a millionaire, anyone who donates that isn't also a millionaire is an actual moron. Yeah it's cool he creates content, but he's already getting paid by his platform via contract. People don't need to donate, he's not a new small streamer lmao

Most poeple donate to streamers for the attention from them. But if anyone is going to donate to a streamer for content. It should go to Jerma.

I started playing in late season 1 and watching competitive League in S3, and this was hands down, not only the best Worlds Final, but the best Worlds in all of League's history.

Up until game 5 where T1 throws it and LOCKS in karma first pick and gives up the most banned champion in the worlds tournament (that's caitlyn for the record)

It is a bit Ironic. 😂

More normal than you would think.

true

That's why he can't say pyosik correctly

A girlfriend that plays league too lol.

and that someone is always him lmao

Anyone have vid names for what thumbnails he showed related to that?

@@vanillaoreo251 he shows the vid names in the video (unless you’re not talking about 4:36)

You say that like Lud got scammed when in reality he just made a dumb financial decision.

@@BananaWasTaken thanks! I was too lazy to rewatch the whole video to find the timestamp

Probably made it back through this video

@@P-7 Not even close

@@P-7 that doesn't change the fact he lost 50 thousand dollars

And then uninvited people he invited

@@leocruz1688ppp😢ppp o😢😢p😢😅pp You 😊😢😊😊😊😊😊

👏 THANK YOU, exactly

@@leocruz1688 I sincerely hope Ludwig knows better than to invite that guy again. He'd be a poor friend to his other friends if he let that behavior slide, because he's risking them getting left out behind his back Again.

I think the assumption was that the booth was gonna be big with a lot of room for a large group. Then they obviously found out it wasn't, so Aidan uninvited all the people which happened to overlap. It was an issue with miscommunication from the arena in the first place, not really an L friend

Please dont give him ideas.

@@indigoimouto3703 please do give him ideas

@@MrComp-bw2rb I second that motion

He would just lose twice as much money?

So he should hire Asmongold? lol

Almost makes it seem like he blows money for the stories in these videos lol

Losers cry.

A fun fact that makes it worse/harder is that he used too play on the opposing team with some of the same players he was up against but ultimately left to have a higher chance of winning.

@@yeonniegiri Oh man that stings. I don't know anything about LoL, but I can definitely bet that one hurts like crazy. Had he just stuck with his OG team he'd have won. Yikes

@@VeryTori Hard to say cause the team he used to play in was a below average team and didn’t perform great throughout the year. The team that he was playing in currently is basically the best league of legends team in the entire world, winning 3 world championships back to back.

especially true with tactical shooters like cs

They seem like 5k seats lol

I was just thinking that! I know nothing about esports, but if they put personal screens in for the very nice expensive up front seats then wouldn't that solve it?

@@georgehernandez2156 50k/12

@@LaggingDuck- literally lmao

It's because the venue is a stadium. It's designed for regular sports and concerts you can see up close and don't need that kind of hardware. They probably could spring for some tablets or some shit, but at a certain point it's almost more insulting.

Wish I could’ve been there.

Yeah Lud’s got an immense talent for storytelling!

English major

Deft was really good for 10 years but never got to a final. It was a really special moment.

The quarterfinals where such a great storyline aswell tbh. Deft hadn't won a single quarterfinal for like 6-7 years in a row and it was against his former team (EDG) who are the world champions from last year. And on top of that they played the game on his birthday 🤯. Truly crazy. Needless to say the interview after the match got very emotional. One of the best Lol Esports moments of all time imo.

@@louiskonerding7502 plus drx were down two games and went on to reverse sweep edg to beat deft's quarterfinal curse

@@advitshah8139 inhib respawn on Deft birthday to reverse sweep, script writers really went full anime.

@@advitshah8139 its so anime 😂

I definitely agree. If he’s got the money, then I’d say it was somewhat well spent. Seems like a cool thing to experience if you’re into league.

This year’s Worlds is also considered the best and most hype Worlds ever, so I’d consider it pretty worth for him and his friends

RIP Atrioc though

Yeah I felt bad for him. Imagine leaving a team for them to be better without you and win worlds.

Keria also considered staying with Deft, because they were so close, but Deft told him to seek for greatness in the succesful T1 org like a big brother. The emotions Keria mustve felt after the loss man...

@@catchbreath1143 Damn

Yooo the lore just keeps getting crazier

@@jlk4894 DRX has quite a bit of issue during that year in and out of the game, Deft knew keeping Keria in DRX will just waste his talent.

woah you watch Ludwig?! I used to watch all your best bf plays like 7 years ago

@@sweatypalms9682 yeah, me too lol Such a great surprise to see you here!

goat of cod/bf content

The OG himself watches Ludwig? That’s insane

I used to play and follow league a lot more back then. It was so cool to have Ludwig give such a well put together recap of Worlds, which I totally forgot was happening. The background story for the players and what happened was so interesting. Definitely a great video!

Yeah, I would be so mad. Weird how he brushes it off

That’s near unforgivable dickhead Shit, 50,000k and possibly once in a life time kinda thing for some of those people

No, he thought the box was bigger than it was and invited a bunch of people in a group, inviting some people that lud had already invited. Then upon finding out that the box was too small he told the people he had invited that the box was full, but unfortunately that overlapped with some of the people lud had already invited, some of which were confused and ended up not going.

@@dynamitedan2531 but still, you should ask before inviting more people

@@andy_s3537 not to keep being the aiden defence force but both Ludwig and aiden had assumed, as most do, that the box was similar to that at a baseball game, very large with a bunch of space. To the surprise of both of them it wasn’t.

Also Keria crying did make me cry. I was rooting for DRX but it was still pretty heartbreaking.

The steal was pretty simple Cadrael called it out before it happened. The question is why no one of DRX pressured Gumayusi so he wouldn't be able to steal. They should've known that Varus WQ-damage could be high enough to steal since it's partly % missing health DMG.

@@johanneschristopherstahle3395 But what’s insane is that Guma had zero vision on it since there was a control ward in the pit that blocked out all the blues. He fired that arrow with only his instinct and his hand on the mouse guided by God

@@mcsy98 Really? That may be why then. Him, knowing they aren't stopping him means they're close to beating baron, might have prompted it; While them, knowing he can't see baron, he would be unlikely to hit in time or attempt it so they don't bother stalling him.

@@johanneschristopherstahle3395 backseat gold gamer lol

@@stungun565 na he isn't wrong though, drx should have pressured guma off. Still insanely lucky steal since no vision

quite literally the most unreal worlds to date even as a league fan

I agree, i know nothing about League and when Ludwig said he actually cheered for the other team cause the guy will have his "last dance" i thought it was heart warming, happy that his team won but still sad to see the other team crying. They did amazing too

OMEGALUL. I feel like all his life choices are, I could take the safe and wise choice, or THIS WILL BE A GREAT STORY!!! 🤣

He didn't even do that unintentionally. He uninvited everyone he invited, which unbeknownst to him included 2 people Ludwig had already invited personally, and Ludwig didn't know that until day of. Nobody replaced Ludwig's guests, just two didn't show due to miscommunication.

And in the end they could have come anyway because they all just sat in the lounge😭😭😭

@@neverstoppedme I did not replace Ludwig's guests...

@@quaketh6823 the lounge only had tickets for 16 tho and aiden invited like 10 other people which is pretty trashy do without even asking.

@@frosty7336 I don't think you watched the stream, because ludwig said that it was exactly 12 people who ended up going

it was still a pretty disgusting move if you think about it

I’m pretty sure he meant that Aiden also invited people Lud invited but didn’t know they were actually invited by Lud so he uninvited everyone he himself invited

@Dodo Nom Still a douche move tbh

You know what, that makss alot of sense.

@Dodo Nom im so glad you said thaf cuz i was gonna say thats mad fucked up to uninvite someone on behalf of someone else

lol learn to listen because he explained it pretty well.

I love the content creators but hate the players.

Don't forget about neace coaching

Forgot about CSGO?

that's a great purchase

That’s crazy

Chess boxing? And I feel bad for spending $5/month on personal food😅

@@josephdahdouh2725 What the fuck, how do you even live, eat or survive with spending $5 a month on FOOD?! More like $400 to $500 a month, bruh how do you eat 💀

@@aClownBaby- No no, I spend around $30/month on food overall, but that is because my family and country in general is poor. I never go to restaurants, or do much of anything really. My entertainment is almost fully on RU-vid. I feel like it is selfish to hold such large+expensive events since there is no point in paying that much for seats. I would probably not even go to an event like this even if it where for free since I know how much it costs, and how many people need such money that he basically wasted. To me, I feel like I would have committed a crime for doing such a thing. But, I don't usually get offended by it anymore since most people on RU-vid are selfish, and most commentators are not bugged by it, rather they enjoy it. Once, my family was rich, and they did spend on useless things like building a house(that was not complete due to the poverty state that hit us all, all of a sudden). And since then, I am grateful to all those who value money and don't waste it. Sadly, I got to meet Ludwig and many others on RU-vid, when I was so called "rich." So, he bin there for a while, and although I felt anger towards his expenses, it is not my money to be like Oh, you should have done this or that, and when it was my parent's money, I didn't intervene and tell them what they should have spend it on. When you live in richness, the only thing you really care about is spending it on anything that you can without carrying/rethinking your steps/be considerate of what others are living in(you lack empathy), but when you realize that at some point, you can be/are not that well off, you really realize how bad I was for acting all selfish rather than help those who were like me now, but in the past. I know it sounds to you like nothing, but I would go broke if I spent more than $3000/year

was about to comment this... RIP

Tbh every time he is in a Ludwig story, he always seemingly does something that pisses me off lol

Idek why ppl bring him around lol

Hey Aiden here, that’s not what happened and if it was actually a problem maybe my personal friend wouldn’t have discussed it in a video to an audience of a million+ people! Food for thought!

@@MasterCalvin45 i guess some people still haven't learned that Ludwig is quite the exaggerator

@@MasterCalvin45 Tell em Aiden!! He just wants to imagine that he’d be a better friend to Lud than you are

So ludwig got “scammed” and you actually got scammed

On paper Zeka was better during words, not before though

@@mattia_muggeri no one would have taken Zeka over Chovy, Faker, Yagao, Scout, Showmaker, Knight. Hell some people wouldnt have taken him over Caps or Larssen either. Even with his extraordinary performance up to finals at least 90% of people would have taken Faker over him

gosh it's like edg all over again

??? How much are you getting paid for you to have an annual salary of less than 10k??? That sounds like barely minimum wage at ~30 hours a week.

@@singmeunder not everyone lives in the USA

Yup still interesting after the third time💀

Only the 3rd time? Feels way more then that

It has been 3 minutes, you haven't heard the story

@@keceti9606 Might have watched it pive

@@keceti9606 he doesn't need to. Plenty of proof of lud's story telling skills. Just watch his TikTok reaction videos

@@JustABakedPotatoChilling nope just tryna get a top comment

@@keceti9606 Watched the stream, duh.

Unlike all those stupid sports fans getting tattoos for championships, he'll probably have to remind people what LoL even was, too. That's what separates e-sports for me. The sports within it are games, software which goes out of fashion very quickly. His body and money, though!

@@ericforsyth Sports die off just like video games. Games like CS, LoL, Dota, etc. have been going strong, and even gaining popularity in the case of LoL especially, for decades. Whereas typical sports have actually been getting less viewership. Software can be updated, Dota -> Dota 2. CS 1.6 -> Source -> GO. If anything, it's far more easier to update an e-sport than change an entire physical sport.

@@bradenallen1241: Sports don't need updating, because they don't become outdated as quickly as software. It will be much more difficult for LoL to retain relevance for the next 100 years (or even 10) than for any given physical sport. If they somehow do, kudos to them, but I doubt that tattoo will age well, in more ways than one.

@@ericforsyth Even better, he's got a built in story for life. It's a slightly worse version of getting one for a super niche underground hobby which is infinitely better than any mainline sport where everyone knows the teams

Wish the tattoo didn't look so bad tho.

It's crazy but it's cool to see someone younger that isn't a singer or pro athlete doing so well

postsecondary education in literature / journalism / mass communication

Can't wait for my CLG Fiddlesticks skin when Lud carries those nerds to NAs first worlds in 2025.

I know this is a joke but the Worlds this year is actually insane and the best so far IMO. The hype is unreal and the storyline is almost movie-like. An underdog story with a rich and fleshed out background from both sides. We might never see a run like this for years.
