There is currently a special appeal in World of Warcraft: the hardcore servers are running in WoW Classic. Anyone who dies here loses their character and with it the result of hours of their life. It’s hard to believe, but players even risk duels to the death.

What is the appeal of these duels?

  • In WoW, duels usually have no consequences: whoever loses gets back up and has lost nothing, except perhaps a little pride.
  • However, a duel on a hardcore server ends with the final death of a character. These duels are called mak’gora.
  • Such a duel now took place between the Twitch streamer “Xaryu”, who plays a warrior, and a magician.

    Warriors actually have little chance against magicians

    That was what was special about the duel: Normally a warrior should have little chance against a magician. The magician has every advantage on his side, can blink away, freeze and slow the warrior, and gain additional time with an ice block.

    Both players have clear intentions:

  • The magician wants to be as far away from the warrior as possible and constantly control him in some way, turning him into a sheep, slowing him down, freezing him in place
  • The warrior, on the other hand, just wants to get to the magician, attack him, interrupt his spells and slit his throat

    What is special about the duel? Both players risk their level 57 character here and actually, from the starting position, the warrior from whose perspective we see the duel should have no chance.

    But under the frenetic cheers of fans in the Twitch chat, the streamer actually manages to win and the joy is great.

    In the end he just shouts: “What did I just do? I did it. I defeated a magician.”

    Xaryu belongs to the “Onlyfangs” guild on Ragnaros:
