It was announced on Ludwig’s [[Twitter]] account<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LudwigAhgren/status/1483586102879416324?s=20|title=THE LARGEST ONLINE SMASH EVENT IS BACK}}</ref> in response to the postponement of the tournament {{Trn|GENESIS 8}}, and was held during its original dates. The tournament was the first open tournament in the series. It had proportionate qualifiers from East Coast and West Coast into the top 64, as more people were playing in East Coast pools than West Coast.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/aidencalvin/status/1483567834085031938|title=Proportionate progressions}}</ref> 36 players qualified from East Coast, and 28 players qualified from West Coast. The tournament had the most entrants for an online ''Melee'' tournament, surpassing that of the largest offline ''Melee'' tournament, {{Trn|EVO 2016}}. It had a $30,001 prize pool, the ninth largest for a ''Melee'' tournament and the largest for an online ''Smash Bros.'' tournament. | | '''Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 4''' is an upcoming ''[[Super Smash Bros.

| | |
| The tournament was part of {{Trn|GenAssist}}, a fundraiser stream to help the GENESIS 8 crew with the six-figure cost of postponing GENESIS 8. The stream ran from January 27th-29th, 2022 and streamed Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 4 matches on January 29th, with the top 12 taking place on January 30th after the GenAsssist event ended.
| |
| | |
| Because the tournament was region-locked to North America, Ludwig told his viewers to give subscriptions to {{Sm|Leffen}}'s [[Twitch]] so he could fly over from Sweden to attend. He did the same to {{Sm|Sora|p=Australia}}'s Twitch to convince him to stay in the United States to attend the tournament.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Prior to the tournament, {{Sm|Zain}} and {{Sm|Leffen}}'s Sheik had an exhibition match for {{Trn|GenAssist}}, which Leffen won 5-1. The following day, he DQ'd due to food poisoning-induced stomach issues that morning. As Leffen had been staying at Zain's house, this prompted memes that Zain poisoned Leffen's food as retaliation for losing the showmatch.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ZainNaghmi/status/1487514768877441024?cxt=HHwWgMCy0aKz26QpAAAA Zain jokes about food poisoning Leffen.]</ref><ref>[https://imgur.com/t3qabnT.png Meme about the situation.]</ref>
| |
| *{{Sm|Axe}} and {{Sm|Smashdaddy}} both had to DQ due to internet issues.
