Ludwig announces all his subs from subathon\u2019s final day will go to charity Twitter, @LudwigAhgren \/ TwitchAs Ludwig\u2019s record-breaking Twitch subathon stream continues, the streamer has announced that for the final day of the historic event, every single sub will be donated to charity. Ludwig Ahgren\u2019s gaming legacy may be centered on his work commentating Super Smash Bros. Melee, but his streaming legacy will indubitably revolve around his Twitch subathon. Starting on May 14, Ludwig began a so-called subathon, in which viewer subscriptions and bit donations all force him to extend how long he remains live on the platform. Around four weeks after starting, Ludwig\u2019s fans have kept the string alive. Whether awake, asleep, or taking a toilet break, the streamer\u2019s channel has remained on 24 hours a day, seven days per week since its May 14 debut. Now, though, the subathon is reaching its end. Ludwig has announced that the stream will finally be ending on Tuesday, April 13 and that every single sub donated on that day will not contribute to a time extension. Instead, all subs on the final day will be donated to charity. On the end date of April 13, before his broadcast had even ended, the streamer managed to beat Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins\u2019 record for most Twitch subscribers in a feat so impressive, even Ninja himself gave him some words of congratulations. \u201cApril 13th, from noon pacific to nine \u2014 the end of the subathon \u2014 subs will not add to the timer, but every single sub, I\u2019ll donate $5 to charity. Straight up.\u201d As Ludwig explained on stream, when the subathon reaches its conclusion, it will be a generous one. As for how those payments will work, the streamer humorously painted the picture of philanthropy for an eager Twitch chat: \u201cYour sub is literally just going to charity through the vehicle known as me, Jeff Bezos\u2019 wallet, and taxes.com. I\u2019ll be losing a f**kton, but at this point, it\u2019s not about the money \u2014 it\u2019s about the record.\u201d THE LAST DAY OF THE SUBATHON WILL BE TUESDAY APRIL 13 AT 9 PM PST FOR EVERY SUB I GET THAT DAY I WILL DONATE $5 TO CHARITY RAISING MONEY FOR @HumaneSociety AND @StJude pic.twitter.com\/Ve2aL3NLLr \u2014 ludwig (@LudwigAhgren) April 11, 2021 While Ludwig reminded his chat that eyes remain steadfast on the prize, breaking Ninja\u2019s record, he also tweeted about the charitable causes at hand. In a Twitter announcement of the final day, he explained that all donations will be made to the Humane Society and St. Jude Children\u2019s Hospital. It seems like a good thing that Ludwig\u2019s subathon was saved after a scare when it hit 1 second left on April 10. With all subs going to nonprofits on the final day, the streaming world will be watching closely to see if Ninja\u2019s record can be broken by an act of charity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
