Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 4 is an ongoing Super Smash Bros. Melee online tournament that is being held from January 29th-30th, 2022 by commentator and YouTube streamer Ludwig. It was announced on Ludwig’s Twitter account[1] in response to the postponement of the tournament GENESIS 8, and will be held during its original dates. The tournament is the first open tournament in the series. It has proportionate qualifiers from East Coast and West Coast into the top 64, as more people are playing in East Coast pools than West Coast.[2] 36 players will qualify from East Coast, and 28 players will qualify from West Coast. The tournament has the most entrants for an online Melee tournaments, surpassing that of the largest offline Melee tournament, EVO 2016. It has a $30,001 prize pool, the ninth largest for a Melee tournament and the largest for an online Smash Bros. tournament.

The tournament is part of GenAssist, a fundraiser stream to help the GENESIS 8 crew with the six-figure cost of postponing GENESIS 8. The stream will run from January 27th-29th, 2022 and will stream Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 4 matches on January 29th, with the top 12 taking place on January 30th after the GenAsssist event ends.

Because the tournament is region-locked to North America, Ludwig told his viewers to give subscriptions to Leffen's Twitch so he could fly over from Sweden to attend. He did the same to Sora's Twitch to convince him to stay in the United States to attend the tournament.

Trivia

  • Prior to the second day of the tournament, Zain and Leffen's Sheik had an exhibition match, 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.[4][5]
