This is the story about how I accidentally lost a $50,000 Fall Guys Tournament. An event with all the big streamers on Twitch. xQc, Nickmercs, DrLupo, Hasan, Hikaru, Shroud, Mizkif, Tyler1, TimtheTatMan, Lirik and least importantly - Clint Stevens. This is the story of Atri- The Ghost, Stanz, Connor, and my rise and fall.

I’m actually digging the format of this video. I think there’s still room in general for your normal style of cutting down live-stream segments for YT, but I really like this too! I feel like it allows for better editing and adds a sort of “narrative” feel to the video, too- good stuff.

[@nat-rk2zs]

ya his story vids are the best. you should check out the pogostuck one if u haven’t already!!

[@morpheuschrist8022]

It’s a good feel yes, but it doesn’t feel like Ludwig. It feels like a whole other vibe, just my perspective

[@anthonyschwarz4651]

It felt like it was structured similar to a Schlatt video

[@jakejaramillo]

Morpheus Christ he said this in another video but he definitely has a different tone or energy or something when he records solo as opposed to pulling from a stream

[@sirshrooma]

One of Ludwigs strengths is actually his ability to form a narrative when he does segments on his stream, plus it just feels more natural for him with chat around. Its one of the things he talked about with Devin Nash when they talked about his growth as a streamer/ youtuber. So I think the pulls from twitch are fine, because at the end of the day its still a much more put together segment than a miz stream or something..

[@byrontheusurper6505]

Stanz said it many times. Atrioc has zero talent for most games but he's willing to Grind games out more than anyone else. It's really quite something. If he could find a game he loves and put that ammount of effort into it, he'd be a high level speedrunner or near the top of the leaderboard in no time

[@cqrson8079]

Hello Mr. Aghren :), I feel like this is a very good idea to go with for the KZbin. You always ask chat to subscribe, but they have no real reason to if they are in chat and watching the streams anyways. I believe this will help attract a greater portion of your audience to the KZbin, as they will be able to watch content that is exclusive to the KZbin on Twitch- obviously. As a proud KZbin frog, I am proud to be able to have content that the Twitch frogs will not. It's pretty PogU if you ask me. It will take some adjustment to get used to you looking at the camera and not off to the side at another screen, but it's more natural. Overall excited! :)

[@SuperMustache555]

In his video with Devin Nash, he talked about how he gets self conscious recording without stream. He says it feels awkward, like he’s talking to himself, and he needs Twitch chat there to make him feel comfortable. He treats Twitch like a recording session for a video, and I think it works really well

[@sansamman4619]

You get more content on twitch though many hours of good content are not uploaded to youtube

He said in stream that this took him multiple attempts because he feels stupid not having immediate feedback on what he is saying
