YouTube content creator Ludwig announced a new athletic competition, The Streamer Games, set to take place on August 17 and 18 in Los Angeles. 

The event, sponsored by Red Bull, will feature eight teams of influencers competing in various sports at a high school athletics field.

The teams represent different sectors of the creator economy: YouTube, Twitch, Red Bull, Podcasters, and influencer organizations OTK, 100 Thieves, FaZe Clan, and Offline TV. 

Each day of the event will consist of approximately six hours of competition. 

The announcement trailer reveals that participants will engage in traditional athletic events such as hammer throw and long jumping, and less conventional activities like ribbon dancing and dodgeball.

Ludwig, who recently expressed interest in commentating on the Olympic sport of chessboxing, appears to be capitalizing on the current Olympics fervor. 

While the exact format remains unclear, he hints at potential modifications to traditional Olympic sports to enhance viewer engagement.

Offline TV’s roster includes Pokimane and Disguised Toast, while OTK features Mizkif, Emiru, and Sodapoppin. 100 Thieves could field Nadeshot or Valkyrae.

Ludwig boasts over 3.2 million followers on Twitch and over 6.1 million subscribers on YouTube. 

His record-breaking stream, the Mogul ChessBoxing Championship in December 2022, surpassed 317,000 viewers.
