⚔️$100,000 OTK MAK'GORA FINALS⚔️

[@Xaryu]

Man this was AWESOME! Which duel was your favorite???

[@passion215]

World class commentating, hats off.

[@jazzmeltsface]

Bean v Mes

[@james.pereira]

Sonii vs rocket/perp

[@marcelvondermassen3262]

It wasn't THE ONE DUEL. For me it was the mixture of classes that had a shot and how many duels were really really close... and your ruleset ofc, that made it possible to use so many different strats. I never watched such a long tourney and I'm around since WoW Vanilla Beta. Also a great commentary from you, but I also looked into Guzus and Asmons stream.. great event. With 99% perfect, it seems odd to mention something bad, so I frame it as a question to you @Xaryu and the community: Would it been better, if there was an Era-Tournament-Server by Blizzard, because then everyone starts at 0,0... or was it a good thing, that there was support for the (or for some) contestants?

[@N0xYD]

good commenting

[@Niffertysker]

To the editor who split every duel up in chapters, you're awesome.

[@gnotgnelf3738]

ditto

[@Onestroke]

I agree

[@dejv7014]

except 1 chapter which is Ziqo vs Sonii wrongly named as Hydra vs Cordon

[@mediumdoubledouble9012]

Xaryu I have always loved your content. But bro you are hands down the best WoW commentator I could even imagine. As a Canadian hockey fan you legit are like an old school hockey announcer. You made this tournament that much better bro.

[@daddyairc286]

I agree. Xaryu was the best commentator and his knowledge of the game is so thorough. Love xaryu hope he keeps doing great things!

[@tjstevenson2414]

Agreed

[@rjrulz327]

No doubt

[@Kdang05]

Love how he would pick up when he saw the others start to struggle. He made this soooo much better.

[@jonaskarlsson588]

Xaryu did a great job being commentator for this tournument but he does not have good knowledge about classic..@@daddyairc286

[@Satellizer6077]

I don't even play WoW actively, but ooooohhh man, your casting was top-tier, probably above that even, considering it's not your main profession. I would love to see you involved in more OTK or casting related stuff. Much love

[@EyeKahnography]

Yeah I'd watch this regularly if they did an annual/seasonal/whatever. Commentary was great for folks that don't play some of the classes to know what is happening with unfamiliar skills. OTK needs to run their own league doing this more often

[@damienpapson366]

Xaryu, you really took this to the next level by making it very watchable with your commentary

[@SaltyWonton]

He did. Esfand idk what he really did lol

[@Nonentity33]

What TEA tho!?

[@suspectdevice8725]

I’ve never played wow but you made this broadcast easy to understand and actually watchable for me. I hope they have you 50k for the job you did

[@VanDeKar777]

cheers bro !

[@flatbeginner]

he got 50k viewers ye, so he probably got his share :D

dumb comment@@mike8147

[@Cocytus127]

I said it once and I'll say it again. This entire tourny has been more fun to watch than anything pvp-related Blizzard has broadcast for MLG. Ever.

[@justlikeyourfathersaid]

Yeah bc the stakes were high and the game play is supper simple to follow. Every major competitor (ziqo, savix, snutz…) said that the farm was gruesome and had negative impact on them. Was supper fun to watch, to participate was not

[@dannyp9210]

I feel so sorry for Savix going out so early partially due to his DC; it probably threw him off. It's likely he would've won against Cdew if not that for that.@@justlikeyourfathersaid

[@marcelvondermassen3262]

@@justlikeyourfathersaid Yeah, this was the major downside: The grind. Maybe more time would have been better? If you had 2 month to get to BiS?

[@bryanbryan6108]

@@marcelvondermassen3262that would just extend the suffering for a lot of people lol. I do feel bad for people that degen-ed for 12 hours a day and walked away with literally nothing but a fucked up sleep schedule and negatively impacted irl relationships lmao. Oof. Cdew is one that hurt bad to see walk away empty handed.

[@everbard3071]

@@marcelvondermassen3262two months would have been nice. I wanted to participate, even though I knew I had no chance of winning, and had a level 43 playing a few hours a day, but had to quit because it almost ended my marriage.

[@shermstyle180db]

This was one of the most exciting E-sports events I have ever watched, I was glued to your stream. The effort put into production really showed and your play-calling was exceptional, your emotion palpable. Well done! Well done!

[@kylechermak7092]

Shoutout to Sonii and Perp for the duel of the day.

[@Voffsing1]

The greatest pop off too

[@Vincent-tm1mb]

If Perp wins that he may have even beat Ziqo, much better chances than a warr fmage matchup, also a Sonii vs Snutz match would've been fire

[@Puppeteye01]

Xayu's analysis on all these fights was just on fucking point

[@jonaskarlsson588]

I agree Xaryu did a great job commentating but he miss several crucial details in some of the duels :P

[@ElunetheMoonGoddess]

that's okay, he can't follow and comment every tiny detail its not that easy

[@marysakayenn]

if you have no idea what the game is about and whats happening then yeah you may think that

[@jonaskarlsson588]

i have more knowledge then most but there is no point to argue since your one of those ppl that go full hate when some1 dosent think that Xaryu is a god in everything he does, i was just telling the truth and i did agree he did a great job commentating only that he lacks classic knowledge and instantly you go on the offence :P@@marysakayenn

[@jonaskarlsson588]

your right but i did agree that he did a great job, i mean even if i saw what he missed i wouldnt have been able to do it better :)@@ElunetheMoonGoddess

[@bryanbryan6108]

One thing I really appreciated about Xaryu’s commentary, in addition to his extensive game knowledge and fluency/tone of speech. When the other two or even himself began to sort of favor someone, insert bias, or verge on shit talking or negativity he found a way to catch it and spin it in a more positive direction. I had such a fantastic time watching this on my 2nd monitor while I level my shammy on wrath :)

[@KYgamesxx]

Bro, you did an amazing job as a caster. I hope you get the chance to do more of this kind of gigs. I'm a wow noob but I was so into this content even though I understood 10% of it :D

[@jonathanarcher5356]

The Savix dc was brutal. He had a kill set up, full combo, low hp. He took it so well.

[@charleswinters9567]

I was rooting for him and Soni. If he had lived, he could have defeated Ziqo and saved Soni from that unfair matchup.

[@stealthyturtles]

@@charleswinters9567 ziqo had mostly favorable match ups. I was going Sonii would win just for warriors across the realms. Sonii vs Snutz would’ve been a nail biter, everyone who knows about classic wow knew it was a free match for ziqo and then a free match for snutz

[@Ashgrom]

Having you know the intricate things like CD's on stuff and esp Rogues who have soooo many CD resets with is amazing to watch. Amazing commentary. I was hooked from that Savix vs Cdew one. What a start.

[@gibble7863]

yo i gotta just say this tournament was incredible. Not only because it was hardcore. Not only because of all the ups and downs and drama along the way. Not only because of the incredible casting. Not only because of the insanely stacked tournament with literally some of the greatest players to ever touch this game. Not only because of the insane prize pool for a non-blizzard run event... But because of the lack of rules. Initially i thought the lack of rules was a bit sketch... but you know what ive learned? Its kind of crazy how a lot of these limitations that classes have melt away when all the chips are down and they can use anything they want to get the upper hand over some of their less favoured matchups. The level of skill and micro split-second decision making and consumable management etc etc etc the list goes on has been an absolute joy to watch. This tournament will be forever etched into the annals of WoW history. Everyone involved should be super proud.

[@majorpanek35]

I think we all need to appreciate this even occurring. The fact that we had legends from every era come to participate in what I believe to be the best performances WOW has ever seen. There will never be anything that comes close to topping this.

[@Krazilok]

Not only has this been more pleasant to watch than anything Blizzard ever organized, the fact that the payout was as large as it was was just truly amazing. Great job to OTK and great job Xaryu for the great commentary.

[@moppis_welt6814]

These "on field" interviews are so funny, great production guys 😅

[@travisamazingable]

such a good dual commentary, you guys did so well I LOVE IT

[@zzzzzz-zzz-789]

You absolutely carried this tournament Xar, I am so stoked you were able to shoutcast it. All class. Take some time to enjoy the new addition to the family, much love.

[@desertranger82]

Congratulations for the event, no one has ever done an event of this scale in wow, you guys are literally reviving wow!!

[@Impossibly-Possible]

warlock vs mage wasnt even close for who was going to win, warlock is kinda OP in 1v1

[@samich2220]

This is the best thing to happen to wow in a long time, love the pvp

[@jazzmeltsface]

The dueling, production everything was flawless but Xar, buddy, you were the GOAT. That was the most impressive shit ever. I really hope they paid you a nice little bag for making it watchable for the masses.

[@Wadeinh20]

Great commentary man. If you enjoy it, this is definitely a strong performance to put on a resume.

[@andrecardoso6941]

Man Snutz is so next level. Final duel and he executed this flawlessly. Didn’t make a single mistake and he did this against another legend of the game. Snutz is arguably the GOAT of wow PVP.

[@cheebee9684]

This was the funnest, most exciting, & most watchable PvP tournament I’ve ever seen by FAR… The amazing commentary truly makes all the difference! Xar needs to do this more often! Lol. Great matchups tho, fair play to all the competitors. Overall great gameplay across the board! ⚔️🧙🏼‍♂️

[@hannespi2886]

[@Onestroke]

I'm not crying, you're crying

[@AFX_______]

He was there, his duels were at 11:00 + 4:00 Sadge Miss you Byroni

[@vious999]

he went splat

[@lucaslouch]

1:08:00 2 explainations on the hunter/warrrior duel. he plays without pet to avoid the taunt before scatter/trap. he also wants to kite for 1 minute because thex all start with diamond flask + healing set, that stays for 1 minute so kitting for 1 minute is mandatory, because nobody has the dps to remove the warrior health bar + the healing diamond flask brings. Finally, the ogre suit, which is from the Dire maul north tribute expands your hit box, and reduce to almost nothing the deadzone. Bery useful against rogues and hunters, especially

[@tjayfour]

as a rogue main, I feel so bad for Pshero, Savix, and Perp. All 3 of these have what it takes to win, but didn't get a chance due to unlucky brackets, or dc in the case of Savix. I would love to see any of those 3 go against Ziqo or Snutz.
