40 Streamers Face Off in Third Annual Ludwig’s Streamer Games

Ludwig Ahgren's Streamer Games returned for a third year, bringing together 40 online content creators for live physical challenges at USC's Allyson Felix Field in Los Angeles on 1–2 August. The event, its biggest yet, reflects the growing scale and international reach of creator-led competitions, with this year's line-up featuring more countries represented than in previous editions. Sponsor Alienware provided gear, prizes and side competitions for attending fans, extending the entertainment beyond the main contest.

Eight teams of five, representing the USA, UK, France, Canada, Mexico and other regions, competed across games including archery, dodgeball, bull riding and a 100-metre dash, with commentary from Peter ("premier two") and Slime. Fans could also compete at an Alienware mouse-clicking booth, where Harry Lu recorded 798 clicks in a minute using butterfly clicking and Terrance Lee set an unofficial single-click record of 788 clicks with just his index finger, both winning laptops. Two selected attendees, Luis Bustamante and Kortney Keys, went head-to-head with Ludwig himself, with Kortney beating him in mechanical bull riding.
