A fate worse than Death: UPDATE!

[@takuutv]

this whole story arc is an immediate classic. it's too perfect.

[@chiefbeardo2610]

Best story arc ever.

[@Absurd000]

agreed lmao. so much entertainment from this. i love it so much xD

[@johnthomson3827]

ikr? karma at its finest lmao

Topped Leroy Jenkins story😂

[@crow_buddy]

Firestar may have had the raid boss buffs, but Ziqo has the raid boss laugh.

[@wushiba]

He became a Death Knight.

Ziqo vs Firestar Changed my life

[@turkeyman631]

It really was beautiful

[@pjee3975]

I still have tears in my eyes, so beautiful.

[@Yoroizuka90]

Firestar's cam when he realised whats about to happen was funny af.

[@TH-dg2mm]

Him dying to a disconnect after waiting a week and a half to drop the debuff is too poetic.

[@Hyperyon94]

Man seeing Ziqo crackling like a little goblino when he first found out is hilarious

[@eSSentialplaysYT]

What a conclusion to this story, absolute gold! From Firestar's perspective: Started the stream with 0 viewers, engaged the fight and went up to 11 viewers, waited out the debuff with 67 viewers, died in Scarlet Monastery with 0 viewers. Full circle. RIP my guy, a true legend. xD

[@Smalls989]

Ziqo has that contagious laugh! love to see the paladin got what was coming to him

[@AllenBoguslavsky]

i wanna make that my email notification sound

[@quickcar5255]

That Paladin did nothing wrong in the first place. Ziqo only accepted because he thought it would be an easy counter match up.

[@stephe5085]

@@quickcar5255 I'd agree that all is fair in Mak'Gora, and you must expect that the opponent has everything they could possibly attain. But the paladin did do one thing wrong... He didn't kill Ziqo. And for that, he deserved what he got

[@sercankuralay9989]

holy shit yes, I have never had this before that i actively started laughing because someone else did. But both times when he started his laugh, I couldn't resist to laugh aswell

[@romnesia7729]

Firestar is exactly what you would imagine for a human male ret paladin player: 1) human male toon 2) cringe RP name 3) doesn't train Dispel 4) toxic stream sniper 5) frail little boy IRL 6) tries to send in a ticket and blame others when he's bad at the game 7) is bad at the game

[@DaneDillon]

Man to wait days played just to be able to play again then to die within an hour or two is brutal. lol

[@GI3BO]

He was level 35 when he fought ziqo so he still gained another 8 levels before the buff wore off?

[@clauscinsci5398]

well... he didnt wait, he leveld 8 level in the time of the debuff

[@Van-4321]

The paladin had 4 rows of buffs before and Ziqo just gave him a row of buffs in the after life @4:00. Love what you did there.

[@donovanschoor1473]

Omg what a perfect ending. Got de-buff, waited it out, died immediately to DC. Karma is so, so sweet.

[@BobbyFlay14]

There’s been some unbelievable content because of hardcore. I hope it stays for a while! Man respect to ziqo for even being able to pull this out the bag. Really shows the true skill of a rank 1

[@adamcornell1186]

Ziqo cackling at you has to be the most insulting and demoralizing things of all time 😂.

[@soccergang3169]

This will go down in history/infamy. I will tell this story 20 years from now when hanging with old friends and talking WoW. Ill bring up when HC first came out and there was this paladin......Its gonna be epic!

[@BobbyFlay14]

He’s gonna be in a future mad season show video for sure 😭

This is like a movie. Hahaha dude gets absolutely wrecked recovers physically but somewhat mentally. Hours later only to be destroyed mentally and physically. GG Ziqo

[@keskes1338]

Can't believe how this turned out! Honestly, congrats to you, this is a great story and basically the main reason to play WoW.

[@variegated_stingray]

dude played for like an hour after the debuff ended and got sent back to the desk to buy a ticket with Air Elwynn.

[@JubaKraus]

You gotta hand it to the guy, even the villain in every story has followers. This exposure increased his viewer count, that said it’s hilarious how owned he got and well deserved lol

[@eliotness107]

[@2tonetony319]

Dude. You are now a LEGEND cause of this!

[@wushiba]

I actually saw his corpse in Stormwind, next to the innkeeper. I wouldn't be surprised if a GM placed him there for everyone to see. Seeing him there made me look up if he's really dead and that's how I've found this video.

[@jonasdahlnielsen9402]

Does that mean he lvled from lvl 35 to 42-43 with the debuff? the fuck :D

[@michealfisher2887]

That "Unlucky ma boy" will be burned into his memory forever.

[@Mest20]

3:20 u gotta love that laugh! Haha! Hope that shitty pala will see this ^^

this will go down as one of the funniest moment in wow history , no doubt Lmao cheers Ziqo !

This sets the stage for mokgora though now you know what people are willing to pay/endure in order to win. More people will be coming and with more buffs

[@AKTERx2]

3:16 that laugh with music is so iconic now

[@manoob9875]

At the begiinning I thought it was a bit shameful to do a whole video just to laugh at this dude... it was actually hilarious lmao

[@raembes]

72 hours of pain and finally they day came, the debuff runs out. 11 hours and a half level later: dead you can't make this up. If you look in the dictionary for "Karma" there will be a link to this guy lol

[@turkeyman631]

Lmao holy shit Ziqo going in on him. You know bro is beyond furious I think I even feel bad at this point lol. People shouldn’t shit talk the dude too much because having people like him around make this stuff so much more entertaining from the outside lol

[@grilledleeks6514]

Hey man. Props to the pally for not making a new toon and leveling with the debuff. hes a wanker for trying to kill you, but he ate the shit sandwich you made for him with a smile. Respect.

A legendary story my friend. And Your skill made it!

[@KK-sg5gl]

If you swim into a wall that allows your character to bounce up and down (changing your vertical position), the game will not log you out. So he could have done this and got rid of the debuff a lot sooner and easier. Btw you can do this in Ratchet.

[@gostreiver8036]

Ziqo’s IRL Kekw’ing has me laughing every time I see this. It’s the best story of 2023

[@FantasyPiano317]

First he got beaten in the duel to the death and failed his mission to kill Ziqo, then he manages to level up to 43 within the 9 days that took him to get rid of the debuff. Only to then get killed on the same day in scarlet monestary🤣dude…and this guy still manages to keep his arrogant smile…he’s dangerous…

[@Couragethecowarddog]

Ziqo saying this guy used GFPPs which are used for Sapphiron but those potions require lvl 48 and Firestar is 35... The total consumables that the guy used amount to like 4 gold not 50-100g like Ziqo said. Not defending the guy for opening a ticket but at least don't try to bullshit people.

[@Ziqoftw]

PvP trinket alone is 20g plus respec respec, magic dusts (5g each at the time) chilli, frost prot potions, magic res potions, scrolls and all that other crap is easily 50-100g total

[@Couragethecowarddog]

@@Ziqoftw The pvp trinket isn't prep for this duel (not a consumable), that's like saying all the gear you have was prep for this duel so we can remove that from the equation. When this happened I searched magic dust (which you used as well) and it was 33 silver, 5g seems insane when you can go and kill dust devils faster than you can make 5g at that level. Magic res potions were 8 silver. No idea on chili but those for sure were NOT GFPPs because he can't use them at that level, and the normal frost pots are cheap.

[@Ziqoftw]

@@Couragethecowarddog Actually in the paladins own words he said he bought the PvP trinket literally right before he stream sniped me, the "magic dusts" that I used were actually Slumber Sand which is a quest reward from a level 9 quest in brill that every single undead gets. The rest of the consumables + respec easily add up to that, especially at launch so there is nothing misleading about my statement. Also never claimed GFPPs, said they were used in Naxx raids, which they are. You're welcome for the information!

[@Couragethecowarddog]

@@Ziqoftw Yeah and the pvp trinket was gonna last him for the rest of the game/ other duels anyway so my statement still stands. Slumber sand works almost the same as magic dust so yeah it was free for you but it was equal for him in terms of advantage to bring them. And no, nobody uses the normal frost pots in Naxx unless you are griefing, you could also use level 12 healing potions in Naxx if you wished to, doesn't mean people use them. The funniest part is that even if I was generous and gave you the 20g for trinket argument and 6g for respec it still wouldn't even hit 50g.
