2021 was full of ups and downs for Ludwig and his fans, but his efforts were rewarded with a Streamer of the Year award at today's Streamer Awards. The event, organized and hosted by QTCinderella, was a voting-based awards show, with all the pomp and celebration of an actual Hollywood awards ceremony.

The streamer was one of the four nominees in the category, alongside xQc, Mizkif, and Sykunno. An overjoyed Ludwig took to the stage and graciously accepted his award with the following words:
He thanked the organizer of the Streamer Awards, QTCinderella, before stepping off and also addressing his eventual exit from Twitch. His exit from Twitch means this will be his last time competing in the Streamer Awards and other related award shows in any category.
Other nominees were also present at the venue and congratulated the streamer on his win.
The creator's fans, who had been rooting for him to win, shared in the streamer's joy after his victory was announced.
Fans of the other nominees, xQc in particular, are outraged by the announcement and are out to question the validity of the entire ceremony. Ludwig fans have made a series of arguments in reply to these allegations.
Even some xQc fans admit that it is irrational to call the Streamer Awards "rigged."
While no one from the organizers or either streamer has commented on these allegations, fans from both sides are continuing their arguments even after almost 12 hours of the winners being announced.
