Imagine logging onto your guild to prepare for your first hardcore raid, only to find out that your guildmaster spent all his 87 raid buffs on a 1 v 1 duel, with support from another player, and lost.
I would spit on his face ingame, and leave the guild.
@@Whillyy the resistance pot doesnt absorb any damage. He is using the lvl 28 frost resistance potion, and probably has used it many times to roll max amount absorption (2250) to prepare. This potion is also commonly used in naxx during trash and progress runs, also when you got the content on farm to save money.
Imagine trying to lecture people about pots not knowing shit. The definition of the players asmon talks about playing classic right here.
@@Whillyy i don't know what raid buffs are because I could never afford the subscription service to play the game
Now that I think about it, all the gold he used on those consumables and trinkets was probably from guildee dues. I bet he told them he was saving the dues for raid consumables and repairs.
If he was a warrior he could have had a redemption arc but nah this sucks lol
This is by far the best thing to come from hardcore wow, this was like prepping for naxx and wiping on the first trash pull with full world buffs
what a bad example, ziqo cheated and should have the 3 days buff
@@jaden344 check your brainrot, it is a serious medical condition
stop it, get some help! @@jaden344
@@jaden344 He didn't cheat he cleverly used game mechanics to put a loser in their place. The prep just to try and kill a streamer only to be embarrassed like this is hilarious.
@@bakabaka73eh the duel zone should be increased imo
Aftermath: He subsequently waited out the full 72h, then died half a level later in Scarlet Monastery. Ziqo laughed his ass off
No way
Ya frost mage gets mad cuz he doesn't insta win like the class should, and has to resort to cheese to live instead of dying like a man. Frost requires no skill. None. A ferret off the street could play it, and play it well. Stop praising people who play op classes to duel with and actually do what the game design allows. If anyone ever lost to any melee as a frost mage it just means ur trash. Big trash. Also I loved watching his 2 chars die in the arena. Actually realistic gameplay for once.
@@trentongardner2106 True
Really hope this is true
@@trentongardner2106the salt lmao Ziqo did what the game allows.
A Frenchman, vain and full of pride,
Challenged a foe to mortal tide.
With twenty buffs to aid his might,
He sought to prove his martial right.
But when the foe advanced with grace,
The Frenchman's courage left his face.
His buffs, a useless, empty show,
As fear within his heart did grow.
He turned and fled, a coward's flight,
His honor lost, a shameful plight.
The jeers and taunts, a bitter sting,
A haunting mark, a shameful thing.
But worse than shame, a debuff's blight,
Three days of weakness, a mournful plight.
His strength diminished, his spirit low,
A living testament to his foe.
Forever branded as a knave,
His name a byword, a living grave.
The duel's end, a tragic scene,
A Frenchman's cowardice, a shameful stain.

Beautiful poetry

Amazing
Bro cooked up a Mitchelin star meal here holy
that face the guy made the second he realized he got played is fucking priceless. you almost never see a smile wiped off someones face that clearly
😂😂😂
I've watched this 5x just for that one part. The realization, Asmon's reaction, Ziqo's laugh, it's a trifecta of genius.
'...see a smile wiped off someomes face that clearly...'*AND THAT FAST😂*
Yall need to chill, it wasn’t that crazy what Ziqo did. I was expecting ziqo to actually win, *that* would’ve been crazy. It was his fault for accepting a duel against a guy with 40 buffs to begin with.
@@JohnLourd-xj8pohe couldn’t see the buffs until after the duel started.
Wow, Ziqo is an absolute gamer. Never panicked and found the option
Yeah with the duel heart pumping, I would have tunnel-vision'd and not think about that.
* a abuse, not option
@@Warchrist abuse? are u fuckin kidding me? The only abuse user in this duel is the paladin, and HE lost
@@Warchrist was Firestar your GM KEKW
@@Pokechamp653 he's probably the druid HAHAHA
This is one of the best wow videos of all time. Instant classic.
Dunno, the amount of time Ziqo spent saying the same shit over and over instead of just showing the duel is painful. We get it - he went all out with buffs, we understand english...
@@alwynkotze9891 Yeah him trying to explain the situation ruins his perfect play. Id like to see you throw grenades that good or keep up with kiting.
@@alwynkotze9891 Asmon was the one pausing the vid, not Ziqo lol
@@alwynkotze9891Found another guildie of Firestar
the french guy doesnt ahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaha@@alwynkotze9891
Perfect example of "you come at the king, you best not miss" 😂
I always knew that the biggest rat in wow history had to be a paladin
Or a hunter
He is a frenchie. What else would you expect from those cowards? Look at WW2
@@UNSCconnor Ah, WW2... Too many american movies for you kid, you better get back to school! And even there, they will still teach you that USA saved the world...and ignore the fact that it was Russia who actually stopped Germany completely, at an insane cost (millions of deaths). America, as the RAT, came by the west when Germany was completely weaken to take the win.
And I won't go into more recent events, when you see americans running like cowards out of Afghanistan after 20 years of useless occupation haha
you have a few mistakes in the word rogue
french paladin*
Remember we got an entire history of frenchies waving their white flag
The fact that he streamed it is just a cherry on top. Giving all of us a frontline view of what its like to get so epicly owned you will never be able to recover.
That's because he didn't do anything wrong, Ziqo couldn't win the duel so he had to flee the makgora by magic dusting a Paladin out of the makgora zone as a MAGE, he's a loser.
@@Carpatouille The loser has the debuff..... Its a fight to the death, both players knew the rules. WTF did the sniper do in following Ziqo out of the duel area? He opened the door & Ziqo took it. He fooked up, its his own fault. He was outplayed & should consider giving up WOW & playing tiddly winks
@@Carpatouilleis that you french sniper failerino?
@@sticktothefacts8905 Blizzard SPECIFICALLY said before the HC servers were out that they wanted to avoid people getting CC'D out of a Makgora. A DUEL TO THE DEATH. Are you guys so dense you can't comprehend that?
Are you guys so much of NPCs blindly following and trust what your your gourous say to the point you ignore what you SAW? Zyqo LOST. He effectively cheesed out and FLED the duel, because he ADMITTED he COULDN'T WIN.
Also, Firestar was the highest rated ret paladin in Cataclysm, a known Gladiator at the time and I think he's better than all of you NPCs combined.
@@sticktothefacts8905 Also, Zyqo ASKED for the makgora. HE'S the one who fucked up. He just used an unintended cheese to avoid the debuff or dying. In a duel to the death, as a Makgora, HE lost.
Ziqo is the new hardcore raid boss 🤣
Until 3 non elites with trash come and own him.
@@kurisu100 well, 1 elite is harder than this paladin
gl next circus Firestar
Bro I’m waiting for his returning day for the revenge 😂
The new spongebob looking guy who has to magic dust people out of duel zones of makgoras, because he can't win. A loser.
Bro came in there with 20 buffs left the duel with a loss and 21 buffs
Well i would call it a debuff
Best comment
debuff*
+1
Ziqo didn't even break a sweat, he was so calm throughout it all. The paladin was so confident with his 500 buffs lmao his face was priceless. Best video ever lol.
Why would ziqo sweat. Frost mage is broken and my dead grandma could beat any melee class as well with frost. Seriously no skill required yall just like the taste of z's nuts I guess.
@@trentongardner2106Hey look its the sniper 😂.
@@trentongardner2106ziqo is a pvp legend, the dude his arguably the best mage player in pvp. The truth is that the pally got what he deserved.
why break sweat when polly existsts?
that one dude who was playing and watching ziqo's stream and whispered him to bait into coward debuff right near the start of the duel was an unsung hero tbh. gave ziqo something to grasp his focus to in such a hard moment when the reality of this raid-buffed duel hit him
LMAOO I was in tears watching your reaction to this Asmon it's like you said, this was like a movie script 🤣🤣🤣 the comments & reacts on this has been an absolute gold mine. Keep up the good work fellas.
you got him good bro instant karma for mr. trash pala 🤣
all these years of experience, you are a machine my friend the way you keep your cool is insane. mad respect.
Absolutely insane gameplay from your part. Legendary
The black lizard 🦎 is the dueling goat 🐐
best mage
the man couldve started his streaming career if he laughed about it afterwards or something but the fact that he took it so serious is what makes it entertaining to us as the viewer
Well its entertaining up to the point you play HC and some rando invites you to a duel and hold and behold its nr1 just wiping a floor with you and if you prepare for the fight like this guy you are only ridiculed, and if you win you would have been made into a villian which is.. kinda sad.
@@JimmyTheAIjust so you know, it's "lo and behold"
@@TheTuttle99and just so you know it is low
@@noha112 but it isn't... "lo" means "look" in the context of this phrase. This is very easily checked if you look up the meaning and origin of the saying.
Not sure why you wouldn't have done that before attempting to correct somebody lol
this is still just epic
That French guy has the same energy as Influencers boxing old Boxers.
you accept you strap in and go.
Holy shit, this is one of the most iconic things I’ve seen in classic! xD
Little bro was so proud, planning like a fucking psychopath, even decided to stream it so everyone could witness. Even if he had won, he‘d still be clown, but the fact he got put in the dirt, in the most embarrassing kind of way, with his character now having „Coward“ written on his forehead, just makes this fucking perfect. :‘D
I've heard that he died 1-2 days later when he still had that debuff. If it's true, then it gets even better.
@@malbazz Nah even better. :D
He played for the whole duration of the debuff, struggling his way through it and made like 8 levels iirc, just to die the exact same day he lost the debuff. It’s so perfect, it’s almost hard to believe. :‘D
Haha. Serves him right @@JamCie
@@malbazzyall are too far up z's ass. It's a game, and the dude did something fun for a change. Instead of just letting a frost mage frost bolt someone to death, and the mage still didn't die cuz they are a broken class on classic. Maybe it would be better to see this duel in retail where the classes are actually somewhat closer to balanced.
@@trentongardner2106 the mage didn't die because the french guy was so dumb, he left the area and lost lol. I cant stop laughing, its like watching someone drown or die to the elevator boss.
This dude had a ticket ready even before the match ended lol
Wow classic is giving us memories again. Truly a unique game.
WoW Classic was Blizzard's best decision in a Decade.
Useless company shit the bed with wc3 reforge
Something poetic about a Frenchman losing a duel by being a “coward!”
😂
It's in their blood.
Poetic or historically accurate?
That guy deserves a meme. Or several memes, to be remembered forever in the MMORPG genre.
Jeah man
IT must be iconic
It Made Itself.
The Angry Frenchie
These are exactly the kind of stories I was hoping HC would produce. Epic story! Never give up!
Dr. Strange: i saw 14 million futures, you only win in 1
Thats a good callback
Bro can you explain why Ziqo challenged him to duel(or why he accepted the duel) when he didn't know anything about his enemy ? I dont play wow
@@LeorioSusano He got challenged and he accepted, Ziqo is a high skill player theres not that many people who would win as a melee vs a frost mage so no reason to really decline free content
As to "why" its because he's unaware of all buffs the opponent has since you couldn't check that in classic and obviously whatever resources he had in his backpack
@@LeorioSusano Ziqo is one of the best players in the game, he also does it for content so of course will duel. Ziqo had no way of seeing those insane buff before the duel started, Paladin is probably the first person to ever do that countless hours getting the mats to make the potions get the buffs set up a situation where it was impossible to lose all on a mid level char.... that he ended up losing anyway is perhaps the greatest fail in pvp WoW history. All that prep work weeks worth and to just get outplayed out thought out IQed, I have not played wow in near 16 years the level of pathetic the paladin displayed cannot be described.
I was wondering how the paladin was gonna lose that, but didn't account for that ending.
Although seeing this duel pan out like that, i wonder how retri pally ever would win a fair duel to a frost mage, it's most likely impossible?
Sometimes when you can't win, make your opponent lose 😂
Firestar is playing RIGHT NOW and the debuff is STILL UP.
Literal clown. I'd delete that character and create a new if i were him, lmao.
And he insta bans everyone mentioning the buff 😂
and he bans whoever mentions it XD
Confirmed, INSTA ban when mentioning the debuff LMAO
Love how he has like instant knowledge of where exactly you go to open a support ticket
This is pure gold, I praise the guy for the mega preparation he really "went to war" there and went all out guns blazing but even so the gap between Mage and Pala is to big to be covered even with so many buffs, he may have failed the mission but his sneakiness will live on!
This may be a hot take, but all I see is a man who really lives the sentence: "If you take a shot at the king, don't miss." He knew his target was a Rank 1 Glad who loves killing people in Mak'gora... so he decided he's going to make him regret his life choices... and so he spent more time prepping for this than Batman would to fight Superman. He then got help to scout and bait a perfect trap and Ziqo fell into it hook, line and sinker. Insane props to Ziqo, of course, as he proved to everyone why he's #1 because he found a way to win in a borderline unwinnable situation. All in all, amazing PvP event happened - one for the ages - and it took both sides to make it happen
EDIT: Just saw to the end where the dude asked his guild to mass report Ziqo. N/M, he's a little whiny bitch boy - can respect the way this all went down, but should have taken his L like a man.
I agree, great prep from the pala, even greater gameplay from Ziqo.
Also, Blizzard answered Firestar's ticket, and confirmed it indeed is a bug, and that they planned to fix it as they overseen magic dust CC for the rule of not being able to get CC'd out of a Makgora like he was. People misinterpretation because of Asmongold's retardation in this case is probably why they didn't remove the buff, even though Blizzard pretended they couldn't remove it. But the debuff is almost over, and the guild is going stronger than ever.
Personal opinion, Zyqo is the one who should have taken the L like a man as you say. Dude admitted himself he couldn't win, so in a duel to the death, he either deserved death or coward debuff, especially as a mage playing against as paladin, and challenging Makgora unprepared.
@@Carpatouille firestar is a pathetic weasel and so is anyone in his guild if they watched this incident. He cheated and 100% deserved the coward debuff.
@@Carpatouillenah firestare stream sniped like a true rat
@@Carpatouille delusional
the most hilarious thing is that he would've got away with it if he laughed about it and said a friendly gg to Ziqo xD
So Ziqo is the good guy here trying to kill off random ppl in hardcore that has no idea who are they about to fight?...
@@JimmyTheAI oh he would definetly be a bastard if he randomly attacked players by surprise. But those are "Duels to the death", you know what you risk, and you can expect the player who callenged you to be good. they were free to get away, but if they accept and loose, i don't see what makes him a bad guy. they played they lost.
@@someboredguy972 iam saing you can hate on one and praise the other, one goes around trying to bait players to die.. because they werent prepared for what came.. and then he ridicules a guy that comes prepared becasue he comes prepared, pretty narcistic behaviour
Duel is not a bait at all. He challenges ppl, and if they accept, they also accept the risks of facing someone way stronger that them.
And as for that guy, he's not mocked because he was overprepared, sure he spent countless ressources, got every single buff in the game, got every useful items, spec'd for Ziqo in particular, basically made sure to leave no single chance to Ziqo, and still lost, but if that was just it, he wouldn't have been mocked, ppl would've just praised Ziqo and move on.
No, he's mocked because he was arrogant, wanted to snipe Ziqo, was certain he could defeat him, came fully prepared, and when he lost, he raged and tried to have Ziqo mass-reported, this is all of these combined that have him mocked.
@@someboredguy972 problem is that uts what ziqo says, no? For all i know he could have been killed before went after him and got baited and lost, the ticket was unnecessary but you know, he spent time and got marked a runner when he didnt ran. Also many times they commented on how he is focused and smirks he really didnt not that it changes anything.
The druid was doing more than watching. He was staying close enough to give him the survival of the fittest buff also
Forcing a frenchman to surrender in WOW is quite possibly the best thing ive ever seen.
Man powered up like Goku on Namek, only instead of golden hair he got a clown wig.
He has the smug look of satisfaction that I imagine every Reddit contrarian has when they think they zinged you because you didn't cover 1000% of your bases when making a point.
Not only that, but the contrarian is WRONG when making the point too but he doesn't know that and too many idiots agree with him, so he's literally drowning in smug.
Why in the world are you arguing with obnoxious redditors? Watch paint dry instead.
This may be one of the most legendary duels ever. That ending was better than I could have ever imagined. 3 days in-game. LOL.
Yea so legendary spaming sheep over and over again 😂
@@RichyRich2607 is it as legendary as using raid buffs and getting your friends to buff you before "1v1"ing someone?
@@BlackfeatherMain This only further supports my statement...there was nothing legendary about it.
@@RichyRich2607 I'd call the mage actually thinking ahead enough to plan out the sleep powder use on the pally mid fight a pretty amazing outplay.
I'm not surprised he is french. And not surprised either he got the coward debuff, nothing new for a french man tbh, history has proven it right.
Making a ticket as well. And trying to massively report him. Again, not surprised. This guy did the most french stuff a french man can do.
Cheers from Spain 🇪🇸
That's crazy, I had no idea the duel was so intense prior to the epic sleep. Nicely done.
I can't play wow anymore due to eye, but this wow hc series is pure gold and gives me both enjoyment and nostalgia, very entertaining Asmon 👍
whats wrong with your eyes? that sucks!
@@lswallie Blind on one eye (glas eye) then on my remaining eye I had to do surgery to save eyesight, but after that I get pain in eye while playing anything that has lots of effects or movement, so basically all 3d games are off limits for me nowadays. I adapt lol it just is abit sad I can't play all the games I want anymore, but could always be worse (^_^)
@@Zycoreination Damn dude, sorry you have to go through that. I dont know if it's possible but I hope it get's better with time!
I dont know you but I wish you the best broski
@@InZenze Thanks bro 👊 I'll be alright, whatever happens I'll just adapt and keep enjoying what I am able to do (^_^)
@@Zycoreination Wow man, this is heartbreaking. So sorry to hear that. But in my book, you're a total badass for overcoming this adversity. I have eternal respect for you my bro. Keep being a legend.
I don't think he had enough buffs. He came unprepared.
Moments like this are what makes WoW such a great game. This was like watching part 1 Naruto Chunin Exams and using some 3000iq strategy to beat your opponent
Frenchie just got 1000 years of pain'd
The words of a child
A friend and I were doing 2v2 arena in Cata, I was a rogue and had the legendary daggers. I was a reasonably good player and raided with a hardcore guild. Anyway, we enter this arena and soon realise there is a druid, no partner, just sat there like he was AFK. I immediately though this will be a quick win and move on. This druid bear owned us, stunlocked me, killed my buddy in seconds and just went to town on me after. Never, underestimated another player ever again. Sub rogue with those daggers in PVP were pretty OP back then, but get cocky and OP means nothing.
No one asked.
@@Long-Horse sounds like ur a noob that only knew how to dps a target that didnt fight back. you were never a reasonably good player, you just a pve andy.
He wanted his 15 minutes of fame. He got three days :D
A reminder and a cautionary tale.
Being the very best is never just a simple matter of having the best stats and abilities, especially not when you hold the title for so long.
Yea and just make sure to also be playing a broken as fuck class like mage in vanilla. XDDDD
@@MetalStorm909 100% this. The guy had all the buffs, all that advantage, and the mage still held its own. The class literally plays itself.
@@wewuzkangz2505 you also need to be able to play the class really good to be able to pull this off. Lets not pretend that everyone would have survived this just by playing mage
@@razien9941 Indeed, but that goes for any class. It's just that mage is a crutch, it adds +20% to your base skill level on its own, you don't have to think about certain things, and you aren't punished for others.
@@wewuzkangz2505 sounds like you play a melee class. there are plenty of ways to beat mages. Druid outright counters them, warlock beats them, and hunters/shamans are skill matchups, rogue is slightly disadvantaged but can win as well, the other classes are supposed to lose to mage so they will only win if they're much better players than the mage
I need therapy for hating on the druid more than the paladin.
I have never played WoW in my life, and even I understand the level of OWNED that this is. This is worse than losing to your little sister in tekken when all she does is pick the pretty girl and press press Square.
nah, that's just the vanilla mage being OP as always
@chiffa37 don't know anything about wow like I said, but it seems like he won because he outsmarted the guy, not by force.
@@kingjabon people hate mages so much that they justify the rat behaviour its psychopathic
@slof69 I get it. Mages are powerful in gaming. I play pillars of eternity 2, so I know, but I've always liked when people take gaming seriously like this, so I wouldn't call the guy a rat, lol it's always been fun abusing people in games it's just that it failed miserably this time lol
@@slof69 @chiffa37 mage is strong, but he also slept him with an item that anyone can get, in the end any class can dq the guy
Duels to the death should remove all buffs from both players
This is the best example why it doesent matter...
obviously it matters, if ziqo didnt have the magic dust and gigamind IQ he wouldnt have been able to ever kill that paladin@@GarbanzoPlays
why? it's part of the game, anything goes
@@dakineprotoss ok first of all if buffs would be removed, such beautyful scenes wouldnt exist and we had no base to talk. Second thats what i ment: with gigabrain and a small toolbox you can outsmart fools. But needles to say in this discussion i am the mage and you are the pala... have a great day/night
It's fine when you don't deliberately make ally to chase horde and hide your 3+ rows of buffs and pots.
This is so good. I see many people complaining about the buffs in makgora but imo it is exactly how it should be, precisely for moments like this to exist. Everything goes.
It's like no one watched Baki
Buffs are fine, if you don't deliberately try to hide them by making an Alliance character and then running around chasing Horde streamers..
"Everything goes" is the exact opposite of the idea of a mak'gora.
@@pm_me_ur_gluons no it isnt lol, it's basically duel to the death with rules determined by participants, if you don't discuss it beforehand and type "I agree" you agree to using everything the game has to offer. I guess you watched the Warcraft movie? The makgora there is not a defnitive way that it's done in the universe, its a plot device.
@@TheSnHIMshowno one has
Imagine if Ziqo logged off after the dude used all of those items.
And I thought the priest that got lay on hands'd at 1 hp by a paladin to then abandon that said paladin was the most pathetic thing I was gonna see.
Turns out it wasn't, and the worst/best part is that he also recorded it himself because he was so sure it was impossible for him to lose LMAO
I've never felt so much cringe from an unknown person and at the same time felt happy at the outcome
“Know your place” couldn’t of said it better. Love this
If you accept a duel for death, you literally ask for being dead.
Yeah, and instead he got cheesed because Ziqo knew he was dead, so he chose the worst, most dishonorable way to flee the duel. CC'ing someone out of a Makgora.
Which was his only option tbh. The guy was basically handed a toy gun and asked to defeat a Sherman tank.
@@pewthepuny2849 And he asked for it. He deserved either death or coward debuff, but he prefered to chose the most dishonorable way, and in addition, to brag about it and send his army of NPCs harass Firestar's guild for a duel 99% of the guild didn't even know was going to happen.
@Carpatouille are you really so dense as to talk about honor while supporting Firestarter in yhe same breathe? He and his guild are getting what they deserve. That's what happens when you're GM is a rat and a coward, the epitome of dishonor. Leave the guild or deal with the backlash. Poetic justice
@lordcarl3094 Firestarter knew exactly what he was doing but got caught slacking. In a fight to the death, anything goes. Firestarter should've known better not to run outside of the duel zone. But 8n the moment he didn't. He got greedy. And now he's paying for it. Hopefully, Firestarter thinks about the lesson learned while he's leveling his next character.
Do I actually want Firestarter to be clowned on forever, no. I want him to come back, start leveling again, and have fun. But this is the internet, people will clown on you for much less. Takes your licks and move on.
Imagine having all the advantage and still losing 😂
Ret pally's reputation would've suffered either way. It was lose/lose for him from the start.
So much amazing content coming out of hardcore WoW even if you don't play it. Beautiful.
Haven't played wow in a long time, but I'm so glad I played it so I can appreciate content like this.😂
Bro that was probably one of the most satisfying things I've ever seen Asmon. As always you're the man and fuck off 😂. Love to see you still going strong after all these years. I remember watching you years ago spazzing tf out and now look. Good shit man
This is like farming green titanite shards in DS1 for an hour to upgrade your weapon enough to beat 4 kings on a no death run and then getting 2 hit by them on your attempt
Your high-pitched voice when talk/laughing is epic.
"Hes treating Ziqo like hes a raid boss" Welp you are totally right (:
That did not go how I expected. I love it
Imagine only being able to win through a cowardly move LOL
As someone who played WoW a decade ago, and havent touched it since and became a casual dad. I love this new content. So godamn much. Literally jumped after the pally was slept out of bounds 😂😂. Laughed my ass off. Soo.. good.. Maybe ill play again. 😅
I feel like this just shows how ridiculously op mages are in classic.
If anything it shows the endurance you have to have to be a mage.
Paladin should have bopped him many times over with all those buffs
Seriously agree. All those buffs, all that prep, and Ziqo(sp) the mage was able to pull enough Tricks and stunts out of his belt to outlast the pally, live, and pull out a W. On that same note, whatever happened to Diminishing Returns on CC affects? Like, that dude got Sheep'ed, a dozen times or more. What kinda BS is that?
@@anthonychristy9239polymorph also heals you to full, so it's not neccessarily quite the "gotcha" in duels in all situations.. but yes mages were relatively powerful in vanilla if you knew what you were doing... I think the main thing that helped ziqa here is that the streamsniping french loser is bad at the game.. and relying on so much ultimate cheese that he doesn't feel the need to optimise his gameplay or ability use... if he had used his abilities a bit better, ziqa may have failed in kiting him around for long enough to find a solution. Ziqa could've also gotten much more unlucky with resists, given the cheese potions... so there was some luck involved rather than simply the mage class' "strength"
It's not exactly that mages are OP but a paladin is one, if not THE worst class to fight with against mage.
That streamsniper should've taken something like a rogue, hunter, warlock etc.
“He wanted the ad revenue, but he became the ad revenue” 😂😂😂
Epic. This ought to be immortalized somehow (and mentioned again, in the future, or at least at the end of the year!).
Yeah, Ziqo rat of the year, can't win a makgora so he calls the guy a streamsnipper for equipping gear with resists for mage, so he had to flee out of the duel by magic dusting out of duel zone, when Blizzard said they didn't want it to happen. Is it in a MAKGORA spirit to do that stuff? Nope.
uuuu the salt🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 @@Carpatouille
@@Carpatouillewhat do you call it then? The dude stalked him and cheesed the fight for the win…but, he got played back by Ziqo. At least he got to keep his toon.
This should become a title like Jenkins.
@@whataday2624 I don't blame Zyqo for keeping his toon, it's the way he did it and basically unfairly made Firestar look like an asshole, it's the lies and the fact people blindly trust him. Dude tries to makgora people without gear, level up while in a duel to the death because he was about to lose, he exploits every single bug mechanic he can.
Yet when others play the game normally, it's unfair because Zyqo was too dumb to challenge to a Makgora someone who was prepared for it.
Also he didn't stalk, Zyqo asked for challengers so he used his stream to get to him, and Zyqo asked for it.
If Blizzard didn't fuck up, Zyqo would have had the debuff or died, which he was lucky not to seeing how low his health was at times regardless.
And a viewer gave him the magic dust outside of duel idea, and he was so proud of himself for that.
I don't get how anyone but dishonorable scums can see zyqo as a winner here, in a duel to the death where the dude just escaped death, he did not win.
Whole time I kept thinking what kind of person would go through all this trouble and put in the time… then Ziqo mentioned he’s French.
At that moment it all made sense
21:36 and the whole world laughed
Man prepared for armagedon just to be put to sleep
The look on that guy's face during this whole encounter was priceless
yeah, unbalanced games are trash
Dude, this Ziqo guy is a legend. I would be so stressed in his place, no way I saw possibility to cleverly sleep guy outside of duel zone. Even if I had all consumables and grenades. Major kudos.
What's sad is that a paladin has absolutely no chance against a mage even with all those buffs.
Not really. The Frenchman's problem was that he wasted his bubble and trinket on nothing. Aggressive for no reason. He made it personal. Evident by him stream-sniping and preparing all those buffs in the first place. If there was no Mok' Gora and this was regular STV, the pally would have CRAPPED on Ziqo.
@@ravehammer The reality is that even if he didn't waste the trinket and bubble the mage would still find a way to reset because the class has a billion slows, a billion interrupts, and a billion ways to increase distance. You could be half-braindead and still win, I literally have zero respect for anyone who mains a mage.
@@wewuzkangz2505 I hear you man. Thing is That pally resisted half a billions spells and absorbed the other half. Ziqo played perfectly to even survive. Firestarter dude was playing pompous like he knew he had an advantage and was going to win. Should have avoided leaving the duel ring. Shouldn't have popped his cd's on nothing. To your point, I agree frost/ret matchup goes to mage 6 out of 10 times natively
@@ravehammer Ziqo got carried by his class, no ifs and buts about it. If he played anything other than mage, he would've been a corpse on the floor. That's the reality of it. Firestarter was obviously garbage, all he had to do was camp within the duel zone boundary. However, that doesn't change the fact that no other class could've pulled off this duel with such odds stacked against them. Legitimately, if you aren't playing a rogue or druid, never duel a mage, it's a waste of time.
@@wewuzkangz2505 for sure I feel you. Hunter might have had the pally
That guy has 100% face of a corrupt law enforcer. I pitty hos victims if he ever has an once of power over someone
The one who challenged him is like how I image a reddit mod or those who become cops.
Bruh yall projecting over random internet guy, u need therapy
The most well played duel i’ve ever seen 😂😂😂
He should have said "gg"
Dude got simply out played.
This is one of the best WOW moments, ever
This was no duel, this was an assassination.
As a Horde you get a sleepdust with 10 charges from a quest in Durotar. Smart people save that for moments like this!
Isn't it from Tirisfal Glades tho?
@@anttihakkarainen1520
In my mind its a quest from Sen'Jin village, but I searched a bit and cannot find it. I think you are correct 😊. Its a reward for a low level quest.
@@eddohan I think Sen'Jin had the 'Really Sticky Glue', which is also amazing + the Life Drain skull 😇
@@anttihakkarainen1520
Yes! Sticky Glue, thats the one I ment! But doesnt have much effect against a ranged player 😁. The sand is more effective, but the glue has more charges. thanks for the correction :)
He's live right now and pulled up a GM response that says the debuff shouldn't have been applied under these circumstances (the sleep dust) and it'a known bug, however they are unable to remove it :D
Tho it's funny af that the debuff actually faded the sencond the duel was about to end 😂
This just shows how fucking broken frost mage is - that you literally have to come prepared for a raid boss to beat one
tbf hes not some random mage hes got countless rank one titles
I‘ll get that. But even then if you are a professional you‘ll use the best tool you have at hand.@@monkeydragonravenking5653
@@monkeydragonravenking5653
Zico became a legend after this ❤❤ true sportsman soul , respect!!😊
or how broken ret pally is? took 0 damage and still lost hahahahhahahhaa
True
I just rewatch this masterpiece in a second time))) I believe that is not last one)
That's why you don't take it so seriously, he looked like he had a personal vendetta against Ziqo. If he lost and laughed it off, and took it in his stride then he might've still won a little, but his response just made him lose in all regards.
This is one of those videos on UA-cam that I discover and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I'll be watching for years to come. Absolutely amazing.
HC sure makes for some fun content. Thank you Ziqo for putting the video together with context so that we can laugh at him together. 😁
the france guy is the reason why we can laugh, so pls be thankful for it, and not be disrespectful as an noname viewr
@@issolol❄️❄️
"He's just resisting everything dude"
Yeah, sounds about right when dueling a paladin
As the GM, I wonder if he used guild funds to help with all the pots, scrolls, and buffs.
Is that even a question? Of course he did.
if your takeaway from this is that the pally is bad, you never dueled a frost mage in classic. i thought frost mages were op; this video showed me just how much i was underestimating them
Dude, huge respect to Ziqo! Unbelievable skills.
The fact that the debuff is called coward is a nice touch considering he was too much of a coward to fight him legit. Beautiful.
this is just like trumps assassination attempt
so...buffs are big deal in vanilla wow?
This is easily one of the best thing's i;ve seen on youtube this year. Just shows how ridiculously OP mages are.
It really depends on what you're up against, but yeah they're damn versatile and hit hard - Tho hunter, lock, shaman or even priest could've killed mage easy
@@anttihakkarainen1520Totally right 👌
@@anttihakkarainen1520 and what do they have in common. They're all ranged.
Mage is just a melee counter lmfao, only maybe rog can onetap mage caught by a surprise, for the rest, it's over
Nah pallies just suck, one stun and weapon swing is all they can do
He wanted to be immortalized. He did indeed.
Holy shit this was better than I expected. I can't believe the sniper fell for that trap.
This French guy, so fucking funny and sad XD
He got SERVED big time!! I don't even have to understand the game, I don't even play WoW and I still understand what's happening
I also never play WOW before but I like pvp game alot, seeing how that mage class can perma CC you (even with resist potion?) is nothing too special.
All in all it don't look that much impressive personally.
@@zeroBRS Thats... ok? I don't know, I'm just embarrasing myself at this point XD
@@zeroBRS It feels like I already responded to this comment. And I say, ok. I don't know what you mean, Firestar is a scum. That's all for me
I love this game man, so much great content even after 20 years of WoW.
I love when there are 2 reactors simultaniously pausing the video over and over again instead of just letting the duel play out...
That was not how I thought this video was going to go. But well played to that mage
The fireclown finally got the attention and fame that he needs. 😂 funny because the mods on his twitch be busy deleting and banning and saying that its normal to be full potion buffs 😂
I love Ziqo even more now
My guy learned that he was not the main character today
