The first Ludwig Monday's Fortnite event occurred in March, featuring prominent content creators like Imane "Pokimane" Anys, Félix "xQc" Lengyel, Joseph "Mang0" Marquez, and more. 

A second edition took place on 4th April similarly featuring plenty of popular faces in the world of streaming and content creation. Now that there's something other than finding out who throws for content the hardest at stake, Ludwig has made sure the prize money ends up with someone that actually wants to grind for it.
