This video showed up on my recommended and it felt so cosy to spend time with Reckful again. I wish he could know how much everyone misses him. RIP Reckful
@E S The pathetic thing is the irony of you not realizing the real beta is you. You already know this, though. Thats why you hide behind this tough guy facade because you can't handle the reality. You wouldn't even have the balls to off yourself. Look in the mirror. The real beta is you.
E S he still did more with his life than you will ever do with yours. Even if you were given 5 chances at life, you’d still not be as successful as Byron. You clearly know nothing of him or what he did for others around him. Suffering with manic depression and having suicidal parents after the loss of his brother.. id love to see you do half as much as him during the circumstances
2023 and sometimes I come back to thsee videos, Reckful was the man. Still cant believe hes gone, this is a lesson for everyone out there if you know someone is struggling like Byron, reach out to them. You never know if it can save their life.
I love watching this video to hear him talk about playing with all these other guys. RIP Byron. You are an inspiration to us all. Your skill at video games was unparalleled. You were a one of a kind streamer. You are greatly missed. :(
that ending was great. i really thought it was gonna be some priest gear like he said. i hope how happy that made byron motivates him to push 120 and play wow for a good while. it's awesome seeing him back!
I've never played WoW or even at all understand anything about the game, but for some reason it was very interesting listening to Byron talk about the best players and whatnot.
v e L omfg same here. I watch him first in Soddapopin reacts to Why he (reckful) quit WoW. And I like it cause hes good Talker. And now I'm here Subscribe to his channel even though I have zero knowledge about the game. SORRY FOR ENGLISH 😔
zyklon b I am 25 years old but never get attracted to MMORPGs beside a little GW playing - didn't wanna pay monthly for a game and grinding/leveling is not my thing (FPS player here :P)
Still randomly pops up in my recomendations every now and then, I could never miss someone that I didnt know as much as I miss this dude. Always had a childhood dream of hanging out with Byron, cus I felt so alike him as a kid. Still do lol and I'm 30 now. RIP Legend, very missed.
Ngl I got teary eyed at the end... I loved this entire video and listening to you tell your stories. I never even like playing arena, but I thoroughly enjoyed and loved how passionate you were about WoW and your genuine enthusiasm for the game. R.I.P sweetheart. 😢
Bro when he gets the warglaive at the end seeing how visibly happy he gets with zeldas lullaby playing in the background after all this time still gets me emotional. Hope your resting well in a better place Reckful.
I was talking about his last stream in Amsterdam. People were calling him out for taking MDMA ect, but he wasn`t on any drug. He was just manic :) because of his Bipolar disorder. I am not saying he doesn`t do *drugs* like who doesn`t in 2018 lol. Byron is not at the best mental state at the moment so seeing him that happy was pretty nice to watch.
Uh, you do know Byron stepped away for more than a long time after his most recent Japan trip? He legitimately stopped streaming for a couple months. He HAS stepped away but he's not that kinda guy that derives happiness solely from his own well-being, he derives it from pleasing other people from what I've seen. Byron seems like a heavy empathiser in a lot of ways, just not in all the ways possible.
I feel you reckful . I was 2 times rank 1 in 2v2 . I know doesn't mean anything but I did it with my favorite mate . We met randomly and played Rogue / Shadowpriest for years. Good old times.
Reckful is the only person in the world that is actually fully and genuinely in love with World of Warcraft, like not even brown nosing he almost cries every time something exciting happens then you can see it in his eyes as he looks back to how it felt when all his friends were playing and he almost cries.
Reckful always gets very excited about things that others would call small. He genuinely was extremely excited when a guy guessed how old his wallet was from the wear of the leather.
I have been grieving for a long time and this is the first time that one of his videos made me sincerely happy instead of just sad. This right here is the reckful I will always remember. Reminiscing about old times and talking about people that he respected and played with.
I come back to this video a couple times a year just to see him drop the glaive after story telling, can't believe its been nearly a year already. Missing you Byron.
I’ve recently been recommended alot of your old vids, Byron. It’s like the algorithm just knew that I needed them. I’ve been in a dark place for a while now, and watching this makes it just a bit easier. I miss you
Is there anyway that some normal viewer can send something to Reckful and have him actually see it and think about it? Listening to the beginning of this video really hit me hard. I've been struggling with this same thing for years and years now. There's just a couple things I want to send to him because I think it'll make him a bit happier knowing there's other people, like me, in his situation. I've been so depressed lately with the same thoughts as he has and since I'm an emotional person like him I just think it would be good for the both of us. Obviously I'm not doing this for anything, fame or even friendship, I'm just in a dark spot at the moment and it seems like he's been through it. Thanks
Don't know if this will be of much help but he reads and replies to tweets once in a while. You could try making a post in his subreddit too - /r/reckful
I feel ya dude, Reckful has been helping me so much thru the years with depression it's unreal and that's the case for many people I bet, but keep in mind that it just isn't humanly possible that he can personally reach out to everyone... I recently broke up with my girlfriend (23 days ago) and still haven't recovered and these days watching his streams distracts me and helps me cope a lot actually.
Can someone tell reckful questing is easier than it used to be. You just read nothing, accept everything, then follow the arrow and when you get to the location you hover your mouse over the area on the map and it tells you what to do in a few words.
i miss you rektfull. you made me more positive and a better person. i never liked wow but i always liked your videos, streams and personality. just when I thought you were getting happier you left us. just goes to show we need to check on our friends. even if they smile and laugh when they see you. the most depressed people hide it very well and act happy around others. please check on your friends.
What are you on about hahah, he was an asshole towards everyone, flamed bunch of times and made other people feel shit (and not just in Wrath but in BfA as well). No one should die but that does not make him a good person at all
@@xxtardelixxable hard agree - definitely deserved to get help but he wasn't a NICE person, a fat chunk of this video is just him egoing other players lmao
I've pretty much played from season 2 up to now and seen most of the top tier NA and EU players. To me, Whaazz is the best rogue ever, and mechanically by far above everyone else. Strategically also top tier. He's got it all.
ElGallo It‘s a bit unfair though, considering the era in which he started. Being the best, according to your words, will always be impressive, but it‘s not fair to compare him to a lot of these players who had quit/were quitting around the MoP period.
Alot of wow players quit cause they lost their touch/got bad. Specially when bgs merged and u started facing all players every day, and didnt have specific isolated bgs. I could name plenty of players who stopped in EU cause they knew they just got much worse. Some quit over other reasons obv
I remember when I was in the hospital for nearly 2 months some years back...and I used to watch you PvP everyday.....literally made the bad times go by quickly...thanks for that...can't wait to see you PvP again. Cheers. Also, really wish I could work for you on your new game...but you're probably all filled with people.
i remember literally all these times, so cool to go down memory lane. By the end of the video i didnt even remember where i was then when it ended i almost forgot hes gone. fuck, rip
Cdew is overrated but pretty good nonetheless. I doubt that one hit wonder team will win any major event in future. Even though I like Cdew as a player and how chill he is.
I feel him, living with remorse is tough cause you change as a person and do not see yourself in those actions anymore. sometimes boredom and curiosity can lead to things that you wouldn't do and that can get you hooked just by the emotions and high it provokes within the body.
I agree that Hydra is a bit cocky, but I think Reckful is underestimating him a bit. If they played together on the tournament realm I'm pretty sure Hydra would have been on 200+ ping?
it matters but even long distance ping u could see who was best. my friend was playing from germany on US client and was best mage on US at the time for a couple seasons, 120-200ping from what he was playing
@@ExploitMage once itngkt more competitive the ping would become a factor. It's a fact. The delay would be difference in making a kick or ice block and not.
lol he's naming only americans; when in reality the majority of blizzcons have been won by europeans, let alone the back-to-back wins from the germans boetar and swapxy, those are the REAL best players ever, not all of those names he called. and all the highest rated players ever also are from EU
"highest rating" has always been a bad comparison when the ladders are separated (and ladder rating in general usually didnt mean squat except that you played a good laddercomp), but Boetar and Swapxy cant really be called "best players ever" as theyve both played the game at gladiator ratings forever, until they both got a breakthrough when other players quit and their classes(comps) suddenly became broken. Neither Boetar nor Swapxy have had any luck playing a bad comp, although ill admit Boetar and swapxy have improved since the times when i met them, they arent really near being the "best of their class". Except maybe Swapxy since he plays enhancement shaman, which doesnt really have any competition at all
@@Exata1337 rofl dude.. rekful played his 3k with sp/rog and u talk about op comps like wtf? also us skillcap is way lower than eu skillcap and thats a fact :(
I didnt say OP comps, i said "good laddercomp". Good laddercomps are stuff that does well against everything and either only loses to the top comp, or the joker comps(aka, few of those on the ladder to stop you). SP rogue was BY NO MEANS a bad comp at all during cata. It was actually one of the best laddercomps you could play. It would do well against pretty much everything, and while you would have stressful fights against meleecleaves, the majority of the meleecleavers (specially on the US ladder) were bad players, meaning you ended up having the advantage anyways as it wasnt even a counter when both teams were at a certain skill level. What you said at the end is exactly what im saying myself lol. EU has more people so naturally the players there have always been better (except in a few regards, for example Neilyo as rogue in TBC, and shamans ever since Kollektiv and Cdew played them)
hydenshribby Can’t really say they are the best ever. Swapxy and Boetar had tourney success when the game was severely dumbed down and the overall skill cap for every class is lower.
Dude omg; I once played with Kollectiv just for points and he carried my ass so hard. I haven't played WoW in years, but I totally remember playing with that shaman and him telling me he was one of the best players
i remember abn i vsed him in 2v2 in cataclysm.. he wasnt very good in 2s when i did go against him, like s10 or s11. never vsed him in wotlk he was probably at his best then i imagine
arcane was hard to play well in 2s at the time too which worked into our favor, 99/100 of all the other high rated mage was frost at that time, he was the only arcane mage in cata left at all
vurtne was also the very first player who carried pvp to another level. the kind of movement he invented in classic is the playstyle people use nowadays in pvp
@@ulrikbobo111 marm never played realtime (and afaik when he did play, he played a priest at high glad levels, but not rank 1, except for cata but he played with khuna and raiku back when priests did nothing of value as well, so its safe to say any 2k priest would do at that point). its kind of like saying monkeynews is the best vanilla player of all time, despite nobody having even heard that name until 15 years after vanilla ended.
I was the second highest rated rogue in season 7 in the world and played against reckful on tournament realms playing alongside Athene and jimos, amazing times. RIP reckful
Marm definetly was not a scripter, just check out his youtube, you could see some twitch vods and a fanmade movie, imho the best wotlk player ive ever seen
Too bad he had stopped playing like a year ago, he was by far the most precise and mechanically skilled multiclass player, he barely ever made any mistakes and bad decisions, that's mostly the reason I look up to him. There's still nobody that close to being as good as him on this xpac.
true, flýn has always been really good, especially as mage, but pussied out and started playing hpal (if i'm not mistaking him for another player), on the other hand marm, who had performed on top level on every high skill based class (besides hunter, haven't seen him play that class), kept playing rogue, mage, priest, (lock too but affli doesn't make such plays as the classes mentioned before), and could compete with all of them on the top of the ladder i do sound biased, but i really liked marm's playstyle and decision making
Jakub ofc he was the best on wotlk, he has played the expansion for like 8 years even after it ended. Marm wasnt anywhere near the top DURING the expansion, and thats why its ridicilous to consider his achievements 8 years later; on a private server and with limited competition. Im sure theres somebody out there whos now considered the "god of vanilla wow",or cata, or mop, because theyve played vanilla or the other expansions for 12 years after the expansion ended, however its just dumb to even mention their names, as the question is who was the best player DURING that time.
Marm and Mehh were never good players on live, they were good players on wotlk because they played on private servers 8 years after the expansion ended, with limited competition. You cant even bring them into the equation lol
Think the session ure talking about is the start of season 9, when most shit was completely busted. I remember meeting them in a 3s game during that season, and marm didnt play for very long at all from what i remember. Like im not saying they were complete garbage players, they were gladiator material and in some cases rank 1 material, but they were FAR from the best of their class. Marm wasnt exactly the reason the RMP with khuna and raiku went so well, as i can say from personal experience having actually faced them and other RMPs (besides, priests were so shit at this point of the game that Hydra and kalimist was playing 3dps ShadowpriestRMP with better results, so the priests role in that comp was minischule). If marm was ranked nr 1 on the ladder during late s9 or mid s10, or during wotlk, id agree, but i never really saw this guy anywhere until s9, and didnt think of his name much until people started mentioning him when he got good on AT, like 6 years later. Mehh on the other hand would probably be really good if he spent more time on the game, as he was pretty damn good on live realms when he invested time into the game, definitely on par with the better priests out there
I think you misunderstand. Im not saying Marm is a bad player, as by now he is the best wotlk player there is. Im saying that its unfair to bring him into the equation as he was never a relevant player on official live servers. He was just a guy that people heard off because he got good at a game that officially didnt exist anymore, after everybody quit. Its like ive mentioned to some guy earlier here; there is most likely some random guy out there whos the absolute best player at vanilla wow now, because he has played vanilla since it ended roughly 12 years ago. Same goes for cata, mop, wod, legion etc. Its just sort of pointless to mention them, as they werent relevant when the content was live, on official servers.
Not sure how im ignorant, im stating that its ridicilous to bring up a guy as "the best" when he 1. never was heard off until AT (or well, early cataclysm when shit was broken i guess). 2. Was never rank 1 from what i recall (unless it was a backwater bg like i said). Being r1 at the start of cataclysm wouldnt prove much either as the r1 team on eu cyclone during that time was a 2,2k rated turbocleave due to the existing mmr bug and how broken that comp was for the first week. Im not not ill informed at all, but i both played during these times and had a keen interest for the ladder drama that occured every season, and Marm is a name i never heard of until i met him at gladiator range in s9. Either way, bringing up people that play a game after its expiration date is sort of silly, dont you think? Like i said, why arent you mentioning the best players from some vanilla private server? Or a cataclysm private server? Or a wod private server? When people think "whos the best players in wow" its about whom were playing on official servers during the time it lasted, not on a private server 8 years later. I know for sure that the tournament you're talking about took place over a year after wotlk, as there is no way Hydra got to play the amount of games and comps he played in that season on live, while also staying relevant on a private server from a different expansion. I also remember him being extremely rusty when playing it again, so it had to be a while inbetween. Either way, the point was simply that with the logic of bringing private servers, then anybody whom played live and was good at the game at the time, are completely irrelevant, because OBVIOUSLY a player who has played private servers 8 YEARS (or 12 for vanilla wow) AFTER IT ENDED, will be far better than any of those original players ever were? For example in that case, Vurtne was a trash mage back in vanilla because im sure some kids out there playing vanilla on private servers are better than him by this point. Do you see what im getting at?

Alot of wow players quit cause they lost their touch/got bad. Specially when bgs merged and u started facing all players every day, and didnt have specific isolated bgs. I could name plenty of players who stopped in EU cause they knew they just got much worse. Some quit over other reasons obv
I remember when I was in the hospital for nearly 2 months some years back...and I used to watch you PvP everyday.....literally made the bad times go by quickly...thanks for that...can't wait to see you PvP again. Cheers. Also, really wish I could work for you on your new game...but you're probably all filled with people.
i remember literally all these times, so cool to go down memory lane. By the end of the video i didnt even remember where i was then when it ended i almost forgot hes gone. fuck, rip
"Cdew was incredible. Maybe he still is."
*Cdew wins Blizzcon 2018*
Cdew is overrated but pretty good nonetheless. I doubt that one hit wonder team will win any major event in future. Even though I like Cdew as a player and how chill he is.
@@kurviskukkunen1276 What tourney did you win that qualify's you to talk about a Blizzcon champion and 4 year finalists skill level? Yeah stfu.
@@kurviskukkunen1276 lol
Love the streams man, keep up the good work.
Years later and I'm still checking out your content, you are greatly missed but will live on in a lot of our memories. RIP to a legend
I watched your videos of your warrior way back when, and I just wanted to say thank you. Whatever happens after life, I hope all is well for you.
I literally almost cried with happiness when he got the warglaives. I love that he's so happy playing wow again my gawd thefeelsman
Hes banned now
Ashton mullins why
@@EB_Seahe died
I cant make it past 10 seconds on his videos. so fucking heartbreaking
I feel him, living with remorse is tough cause you change as a person and do not see yourself in those actions anymore. sometimes boredom and curiosity can lead to things that you wouldn't do and that can get you hooked just by the emotions and high it provokes within the body.
Miss you everyday Reck, forever in our hearts, rest easy, you deserve it ❤️
Damn i was just watching this again after you died, you were so cool, I will miss you so much
I agree that Hydra is a bit cocky, but I think Reckful is underestimating him a bit. If they played together on the tournament realm I'm pretty sure Hydra would have been on 200+ ping?
it matters but even long distance ping u could see who was best. my friend was playing from germany on US client and was best mage on US at the time for a couple seasons, 120-200ping from what he was playing
@@ExploitMage once itngkt more competitive the ping would become a factor. It's a fact. The delay would be difference in making a kick or ice block and not.
I watched this live. crying right now I miss you so much man
The best rogue ever talking about best players, how humble this man was...
lol he's naming only americans; when in reality the majority of blizzcons have been won by europeans, let alone the back-to-back wins from the germans boetar and swapxy, those are the REAL best players ever, not all of those names he called. and all the highest rated players ever also are from EU
"highest rating" has always been a bad comparison when the ladders are separated (and ladder rating in general usually didnt mean squat except that you played a good laddercomp), but Boetar and Swapxy cant really be called "best players ever" as theyve both played the game at gladiator ratings forever, until they both got a breakthrough when other players quit and their classes(comps) suddenly became broken.
Neither Boetar nor Swapxy have had any luck playing a bad comp, although ill admit Boetar and swapxy have improved since the times when i met them, they arent really near being the "best of their class". Except maybe Swapxy since he plays enhancement shaman, which doesnt really have any competition at all
@@Exata1337 rofl dude.. rekful played his 3k with sp/rog and u talk about op comps like wtf? also us skillcap is way lower than eu skillcap and thats a fact :(
I didnt say OP comps, i said "good laddercomp".
Good laddercomps are stuff that does well against everything and either only loses to the top comp, or the joker comps(aka, few of those on the ladder to stop you).
SP rogue was BY NO MEANS a bad comp at all during cata. It was actually one of the best laddercomps you could play. It would do well against pretty much everything, and while you would have stressful fights against meleecleaves, the majority of the meleecleavers (specially on the US ladder) were bad players, meaning you ended up having the advantage anyways as it wasnt even a counter when both teams were at a certain skill level.
What you said at the end is exactly what im saying myself lol. EU has more people so naturally the players there have always been better (except in a few regards, for example Neilyo as rogue in TBC, and shamans ever since Kollektiv and Cdew played them)
hydenshribby Can’t really say they are the best ever. Swapxy and Boetar had tourney success when the game was severely dumbed down and the overall skill cap for every class is lower.
Vurtne hands down was h
ahead of his time and was an amazing player
Scotty there were alot of mages as good as vurtne or better
@@elmesmohammed name a single one :) in classic no mage was even near his skilllvl
maxilold not all mages made pvp movies. Even if i name them how would u know them?
i would probably know them but there is nobody
maxilold venruki have s1 glad s2 glad s3 glad s4 glad as mage ??
Dude omg; I once played with Kollectiv just for points and he carried my ass so hard. I haven't played WoW in years, but I totally remember playing with that shaman and him telling me he was one of the best players
Does anyone remember Billian (disc priest), Rexsteele (rogue), and Abni (Arcane Mage) back in Wrath? They dominated all 3 brackets back then.
i remember abn i vsed him in 2v2 in cataclysm.. he wasnt very good in 2s when i did go against him, like s10 or s11. never vsed him in wotlk he was probably at his best then i imagine
arcane was hard to play well in 2s at the time too which worked into our favor, 99/100 of all the other high rated mage was frost at that time, he was the only arcane mage in cata left at all
the ending really made me smile... miss you Byron
i mean i know he wasnt rly one of the high end pvp'ers but i rly liked Xmo and Uck back in lich king
Popped up in my feed 5 years later, miss ya Reck.
This is my favourite video to watch to remember the great times man, RIP I wish I had met you.
Did you ever play Vurtne in Vanilla? Was a Mage had some of the best world PvP videos on warcraftmovies that'd I had ever seen.
vurtne was also the very first player who carried pvp to another level. the kind of movement he invented in classic is the playstyle people use nowadays in pvp
@@maxilold vurtne didnt invent strafing you fool
#reckful What about Marm? He deserves a mention aswel.
hes literally the best idgaf what anyone says
@@ulrikbobo111 marm never played realtime (and afaik when he did play, he played a priest at high glad levels, but not rank 1, except for cata but he played with khuna and raiku back when priests did nothing of value as well, so its safe to say any 2k priest would do at that point).
its kind of like saying monkeynews is the best vanilla player of all time, despite nobody having even heard that name until 15 years after vanilla ended.
I fucking miss this man so much...
RIP
He will be remembered as a legend like Tyson and Jordan.
Could we get a brez for my boy... please?
"Drakedog was actually good." Wtf? Thought that guy was a meme warlock. Didn't know he actually competed seriously.
UA-cam, how fucking dare you put ads on Reckful's videos...
I was the second highest rated rogue in season 7 in the world and played against reckful on tournament realms playing alongside Athene and jimos, amazing times. RIP reckful
lmfao @ when people said Kalinda - Best at being overgeared and making heavy metal pvp crit montages maybe
I think Marm was pretty good too and Gameking the chinese mage who invented double Deep Freeze back in Wotlk
Marm definetly was not a scripter, just check out his youtube, you could see some twitch vods and a fanmade movie, imho the best wotlk player ive ever seen
Too bad he had stopped playing like a year ago, he was by far the most precise and mechanically skilled multiclass player, he barely ever made any mistakes and bad decisions, that's mostly the reason I look up to him. There's still nobody that close to being as good as him on this xpac.
Current expansion doesnt take skill
true, flýn has always been really good, especially as mage, but pussied out and started playing hpal (if i'm not mistaking him for another player), on the other hand marm, who had performed on top level on every high skill based class (besides hunter, haven't seen him play that class), kept playing rogue, mage, priest, (lock too but affli doesn't make such plays as the classes mentioned before), and could compete with all of them on the top of the ladder
i do sound biased, but i really liked marm's playstyle and decision making
Jakub
ofc he was the best on wotlk, he has played the expansion for like 8 years even after it ended. Marm wasnt anywhere near the top DURING the expansion, and thats why its ridicilous to consider his achievements 8 years later; on a private server and with limited competition. Im sure theres somebody out there whos now considered the "god of vanilla wow",or cata, or mop, because theyve played vanilla or the other expansions for 12 years after the expansion ended, however its just dumb to even mention their names, as the question is who was the best player DURING that time.
Just here for the good memories, with my favorite gamer
rest in peace legend! man this is toph to watch and not feel sad even 2 year after
We are forgetting the best players.. Marmx, Mehh, and Chrysalid
Marm and Mehh were never good players on live, they were good players on wotlk because they played on private servers 8 years after the expansion ended, with limited competition.
You cant even bring them into the equation lol
Think the session ure talking about is the start of season 9, when most shit was completely busted. I remember meeting them in a 3s game during that season, and marm didnt play for very long at all from what i remember. Like im not saying they were complete garbage players, they were gladiator material and in some cases rank 1 material, but they were FAR from the best of their class. Marm wasnt exactly the reason the RMP with khuna and raiku went so well, as i can say from personal experience having actually faced them and other RMPs (besides, priests were so shit at this point of the game that Hydra and kalimist was playing 3dps ShadowpriestRMP with better results, so the priests role in that comp was minischule). If marm was ranked nr 1 on the ladder during late s9 or mid s10, or during wotlk, id agree, but i never really saw this guy anywhere until s9, and didnt think of his name much until people started mentioning him when he got good on AT, like 6 years later. Mehh on the other hand would probably be really good if he spent more time on the game, as he was pretty damn good on live realms when he invested time into the game, definitely on par with the better priests out there
I think you misunderstand. Im not saying Marm is a bad player, as by now he is the best wotlk player there is.
Im saying that its unfair to bring him into the equation as he was never a relevant player on official live servers. He was just a guy that people heard off because he got good at a game that officially didnt exist anymore, after everybody quit.
Its like ive mentioned to some guy earlier here; there is most likely some random guy out there whos the absolute best player at vanilla wow now, because he has played vanilla
since it ended roughly 12 years ago. Same goes for cata, mop, wod, legion etc. Its just sort of pointless to mention them, as they werent relevant when the content was live, on official servers.
Not sure how im ignorant, im stating that its ridicilous to bring up a guy as "the best" when he 1. never was heard off until AT (or well, early cataclysm when shit was broken i guess).
2. Was never rank 1 from what i recall (unless it was a backwater bg like i said). Being r1 at the start of cataclysm wouldnt prove much either as the r1 team on eu cyclone during that time was a 2,2k rated turbocleave due to the existing mmr bug and how broken that comp was for the first week.
Im not not ill informed at all, but i both played during these times and had a keen interest for the ladder drama that occured every season, and Marm is a name i never heard of until i met him at gladiator range in s9. Either way, bringing up people that play a game after its expiration date is sort of silly, dont you think?
Like i said, why arent you mentioning the best players from some vanilla private server? Or a cataclysm private server? Or a wod private server?
When people think "whos the best players in wow" its about whom were playing on official servers during the time it lasted, not on a private server 8 years later. I know for sure that the tournament you're talking about took place over a year after wotlk, as there is no way Hydra got to play the amount of games and comps he played in that season on live, while also staying relevant on a private server from a different expansion. I also remember him being extremely rusty when playing it again, so it had to be a while inbetween. Either way, the point was simply that with the logic of bringing private servers, then anybody whom played live and was good at the game at the time, are completely irrelevant, because OBVIOUSLY a player who has played private servers 8 YEARS (or 12 for vanilla wow) AFTER IT ENDED, will be far better than any of those original players ever were? For example in that case, Vurtne was a trash mage back in vanilla because im sure some kids out there playing vanilla on private servers are better than him by this point. Do you see what im getting at?
@@Exata1337 mehhx got 2x rank1 now on life. They never played retail back then thats the only reason
