Ludwig Ahgren made waves in the streaming world after dramatically smashing his controller during a Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 segment of the AT&T Annihilator Cup. The well-known content creator, visibly frustrated with his performance, destroyed the controller on camera before announcing he would switch to mouse and keyboard for the rest of the tournament.
This all went down during last Thursday’s installment of the month-long competition, which features teams of streamers and pro gamers taking on different game titles each week. Ludwig’s controller mishap quickly became a viral moment, spreading all over social media platforms within hours.
“Using Mouse in a game with overpowered aim assist is hindering him more than movement,” noted one viewer, pointing out how unusual Ludwig’s choice was. “Unless you have Shroud level aim, not using a controller is just heavily handicapping yourself.”
Viewers who stuck around for the stream later found out Ludwig actually smashed a “decoy” controller he keeps on hand specifically for dramatic moments.
The AT&T Annihilator Cup keeps things interesting for participants, since they have to switch games every week. This setup often pushes streamers beyond their usual routines, making for impressive and entertaining moments—perfect for keeping viewers hooked.
