Highlights

Popular streamer Ludwig has canceled his Mogul Chessboxing event for 2023, despite the success of his previous event on YouTube.

The cancellation of the event, due to concerns for the competitors' safety, was a major disappointment for Ludwig. However, his dedicated fanbase swiftly rallied behind him, offering their unwavering support and encouragement, reaffirming his position as a leading content creator, and eagerly looking forward to his upcoming projects.

YouTube streamer Ludwig has made the decision to cancel his highly anticipated event, Mogul Chessboxing, for 2023. Despite the tremendous success of his previous event, which can still be found on YouTube, Ludwig has presented some compelling arguments for its cancellation.

Last year, Ludwig organized the highly acclaimed inaugural Mogul Chessboxing event. The event showcased a group of influential individuals who took to the boxing ring to compete in intense chess matches and rounds of Super Smash Bros. Following these mental and strategic battles, participants then engaged in actual physical boxing matches. In total, there were seven captivating chess matches and two exhilarating rounds of Smashboxing. The Mogul Chessboxing event attracted a massive audience and emerged as the most-watched Super Smash Bros event, with the YouTube replay alone amassing an astounding 3.8 million views and over 154k likes.

Despite the immense popularity of the previous event, Ludwig took to Twitter on September 27 to announce the cancellation of this year's event. He expressed feeling disappointed about having to make this announcement, primarily due to concerns for the safety of the competitors. Ludwig acknowledged that this cancelation was the biggest failure of his entire career, but he also mentioned that it would serve as motivation for him to be the best creator he can be by 2024.

Being one of the most renowned streamers, Ludwig's announcement quickly gained attention from a multitude of people who wasted no time in offering their support and words of encouragement. Fans, colleagues, and friends rallied behind him, with YouTuber and streamer Krinios affirming that Ludwig is still the greatest in his field, guaranteeing that 2024 will be his year. Even the official chess.com page extended its support and echoed the same sentiment.

Ludwig undoubtedly boasts a vast and devoted following within his community. They stand by him not only during favorable moments, such as his Streamer of the Year accolade last year, but also during challenging times like the present.

Ludwig has encountered disheartening news before, having dealt with YouTube channel suspensions and other controversies in the past, such as his decision to depart from Twitch and exclusively stream on YouTube. The cancellation of his event serves as a mere stumble, which, though it may sadden his fans, also stirs anticipation to witness Ludwig's reimagined future.
