"I'm No Longer Inviting Mang0": Ludwig Responds Following Recent Controversy
Image via: YouTube/Ludwig In the wake of a very intense controversy following the last Mogul Moves event, Ludwig Ahgren has announced that from now on, he would not be inviting Super Smash Bros. icon Joseph 'Mang0' Marquez to come to any of his events. The fallout originates from the 21st of June 'Beerio Kart' tournament, an alcohol-soaked Mario Kart competition of famous online personalities. Though the event was meant to be all fun and lighthearted, things turned quite serious once several clips surfaced showing Mang0's behavior while severely intoxicated. Allegations started all over the social media, where many claimed that he acted inappropriately towards fellow streamer Maya Higa. Mang0 Removed After Allegedly Making Multiple Streamers Uncomfortable In a candid livestream on June 22, Ludwig mentioned the situation and said he reached out to everyone who might have felt uneasy during the event. Though he did not name anyone particularly, but Ludwig was clearly very clear about his position on Mang0 attending any future Mogul Moves events: 'You know, I reached out to anyone who I felt might have felt uncomfortable, and talked to them. But also, and I've already told Mang0 this, I'm no longer inviting Mang0 to Mogul Moves events. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Muradnagar: Scholarships You Can Apply For (Start Now) Google Search Search Now Undo Because, like, you know, it's a privilege to go to an event, man. Like, the whole point of an event is, like, fun things to do, have a good-a** time, and if somebody appearing jeopardizes somebody else having a good time, that just can't be a thing. ' Ludwig Responded to the Mango Situation.. Insane Update A Pattern of Problematic Behavior This is not the first time Mang0's antics, often fueled by alcohol, have garnered criticism. Throughout the years, his internet image has been largely tied to alcohol and intoxication-related activities, such as his streams selling the theme of intoxication with events like 'Drunk December.' His behavior led in fact to a few Twitch suspensions for being publicly drunk on stream. The Beerio Kart incident was a change of scenery. Both attendees and viewers observed that Mang0 seemed visibly out of control following his early elimination from the competition. Soon began the transition from funny intoxication to making others uncomfortable, which Maryul describes as "especially concerning" in terms of how he treated some female streamers. Reckoning and Reassessment Going from a Smash community icon for competitive skill and debonair party-boy glamour, Mang0 now finds himself in the spotlight being increasingly called to account by fans and fellow creators. Following the backlash, it is said he is presently "reevaluating" his relationship with alcohol. The one for Ludwig appears quite certain. Community trust cannot be compromised, and Ludwig has assured that the message will be clear that no matter how illustrious the career of any individual, they cannot get a pass for past transgressions when it comes to creating safe and fun events for everyone involved.

'I Was a Drunk Dumba**': Mang0 admits fault and promises to apologize over viral Beerio Kart controversy
(Image via X/@C9Mang0) Smash Bros. legend Mang0 has finally responded to the chaos he caused at Ludwig's Beerio Kart event. In a series of raw and emotional posts on X, the esports star admitted to being "a drunk dumba" and said he plans to privately apologize to the streamers he made uncomfortable. But is it enough? Mang0 Admits Fault After Going Viral for All the Wrong Reasons On June 22, 2025, Joseph 'Mang0' Marquez addressed the storm surrounding his inappropriate behavior at Beerio Kart , an event hosted by Ludwig that featured top content creators like Maya Higa, ExtraEmily, and Valkyrae. After clips of him drunkenly gyrating and making invasive gestures went viral, especially one involving Maya Higa looking visibly disturbed, Mang0 took to X (formerly Twitter) and admitted: 'Hate waking up and seeing i was a drunk dumba**…I will privately apologize to anyone i made uncomfortable and hope im forgiven.' What Actually Happened? Mang0, heavily intoxicated at the event, was seen shirtless, making sexually suggestive movements near streamers Maya Higa and ExtraEmily—moments that made many viewers (and the women involved) visibly uncomfortable. The clips sparked instant backlash, with fans accusing him of crossing serious boundaries, especially with how he behaved around female streamers. The footage spread fast across Twitch, Reddit's r/LivestreamFail, and X, with thousands weighing in on the behavior many labeled 'gross,' 'predatory,' and 'not excusable—even if drunk.' '99% of My Problems Come From Drinking' In a follow-up post, Mang0 went deeper. He said he felt 'very f**king stupid and embarrassed,' and admitted that almost all of his life issues have stemmed from alcohol. He ended the post by saying he's going to 'reevaluate his relationship with drinking.' For a community that's seen Mang0 both dominate on the Melee stage and spiral at public events, this wasn't exactly surprising—but it was sobering. Ludwig Responds: Mang0 Barred from Future Events While Mang0 reflects on his actions, Ludwig isn't waiting around. He confirmed that Mang0 won't be invited to future Mogul Moves events. The message? Actions have consequences, even for Smash royalty. That's a big deal. Ludwig and Mang0 go way back, but this move signals just how seriously the community is taking the incident. Mang0 says he'll apologize privately. He's vowed to reassess his drinking. But whether or not the community or the streamers involved accept that is a different story. For now, the damage is done. And unless Mang0 makes serious changes, his legacy may be remembered as much for this controversy as for his championship wins. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story.

What did Mang0 do? Super Smash Bros. legend faces backlash for harassing female streamers live on stream
(Image via X/@millirxch) Super Smash Bros legend Joseph "Mang0" Marquez is no stranger to the spotlight. But this time, he's trending for all the wrong reasons. At Ludwig's recent Beerio Kart event, what was supposed to be a chaotic, fun-filled gaming night spiraled into an uncomfortable mess, with Mang0's actions sparking outrage across Twitch, Reddit, and beyond. Here's everything about the viral incident. The Viral Moment That Sparked It All The Beerio Kart event brought together top-tier creators like Valkyrae, Maya Higa, ExtraEmily, Will Neff, and more to drink and game live. Mang0, invited as a guest, quickly turned heads, not for his gameplay, but for his erratic and highly inappropriate behavior. Clearly intoxicated, Mang0 was shirtless and hyperactive throughout the stream. But what crossed the line were his interactions with female streamers, particularly Maya Higa and ExtraEmily. The Viral Clips that Broke the Internet Though many of the original Twitch VODs were pulled, the internet never forgets. Mirror clips have been circulating widely especially on r/LivestreamFail , showing Mang0: Walking up behind Maya Higa mid-stream and placing a leg on her chair while mimicking a humping motion behind her head. Gyrating on a Toad plushie right next to her. Pressuring ExtraEmily to end her stream while repeatedly patting her hair and invading her space. Using a cardboard cutout of himself to simulate more inappropriate movements toward her, even groaning audibly while doing so. Ludwig, who hosted the event, tried to pull Mang0 away multiple times. But Mang0 kept returning, crossing physical boundaries and making everyone visibly uncomfortable. Fans and Fellow Creators Speak Out Fans, Redditors, and even longtime supporters were quick to slam Mang0's behavior. While some brushed it off as 'drunk shenanigans,' others called it out for what it was — inappropriate, uncomfortable, and borderline sexual harassment. The fact that it happened on stream, live, in front of thousands, only intensified the scrutiny. Some viewers argued that Mang0 'crossed a line' and 'should've been kicked out the moment it got weird.' Others questioned why the event lacked clear boundaries or interventions, especially when multiple female creators looked visibly uneasy. xQc Reacts to Super Smash Pro Player "Mang0" Harassing Multiple Females on Stream Why This Matters This isn't just about one chaotic night. It's about the fine line between content and consent, party and professionalism. When someone as influential as Mang0 behaves inappropriately, especially around women creators, it sends a message. And the internet is loud and clear: this kind of behavior isn't okay, no matter how iconic your status is. Mang0's Beerio Kart behavior has sparked major backlash due to repeated inappropriate conduct toward female streamers. Viral clips, fan outrage, and growing concerns over harassment at content creator events have turned a chaotic stream into a serious conversation.
