The end of my run in the Mak'Gora $100,000 tournament 

it was a legendary moment for the entire WoW community. Thanks to all involved who made this possible.

Dude, you smashed it, you fought so well. A true legend.

Congrats Ziqo, unbelievable how much your channel and your persona has grown in the last couple of months. Well deserved!!! your one of the most non toxic, funny and talented guy streaming! gg

Dying to the legendary warlock Snutz from the old Reckful team must be the best way to go out. RESPECT TO BOTH OF YOU AND REST IN PARADISE RECKFUL 👼🏼

A true legend. You should be proud of how far you got man :)

GG Ziqo! You made us all proud. Flawless performances across the board throughout the entire tournament. Looking forward to the next one!

The people's champion! You did really well mate, had a room full of us over here in the UK cheering you on, such a tough matchup, hold your head high.

Just being in this tourney and making it to quals was so much fun. Huge respect to everyone involved what a great event.

Congratulations man. You did amazing, your performance in all duels are out of this world! Sorry you didn't win, I was rooting for you. But thanks as well, it was super exciting to watch.

Started playing wow about a week ago, aquafps got me into the game but it was an honor to see you guys duke it out in the tournament you guys possess skills that I could never imagine obtaining

You were easily my favourite competitor. Regardless of the result, thank you for providing some of the most captivating WoW content in recent memory! Head up high bro ✊💙 o7

I haven't played wow in so many years, but I've had my eyes on all the classic hardcore clips/vods out there, learned about all the legends including yourself. I've just been watching this journey from start to finish as someone with barely any knowledge, and it's been incredible. From the start of hardcore classic to the end of the tournament, you and every competitor have made some of the best content out there and I hope y'all had so much fun doing so. o7

What. a. run. Man, I am so glad, that I could somewhat be part of it Congrats to a true legend - THE mage of WoW!

SO much respect for how he handled this loss. With dignity and good sportsmanship. He did so well in this tournament.

The amount of outplays Ziqo did through this series was insaaane, what a god.

SL lock is one of the best, if not the best class for 1v1 situations and in the hands of a player like snutz it's even harder to beat. You did well Ziqo!

Congrats Ziqo! I hope that this event and the new resurgence in classic provides all of these creators and fans with new communities, new opportunities, and a lot of fun times! There will be more tournaments Ziqo. You're the man!

I feel for you bro, its a crushing feeling to have got so close, but you faced the toughest class for mage played by the toughest opponent, so you can hold your head high. Youre a fighter who always sends it and it always shows. A real winner in my book. Long live The Black Lizard!

You may have lost the tournament but you won the hearts of the ENTIRE community. Literally everyone, bro

What a spectacular event... What a Herculean effort from you Ziqo. For me you are the winner because you did it all till the end. Also i learned SO MUCH during this event. Hopefully there will be another one, i would like to see class-only awards, not all classes are made equal, but that's just me.

GG ziqo was such a fun journey! Loved seeing the clips of all you guys gearing and stuff and the matches of the last 2 days were wild

I've been a while following u since the good old days with your bald gnome streaming on websites in the pre-Twitch era, like ArenaJunkies, singing 90's and 00's songs, and winning 2x1 skirmishes for fun. Over a decade after all of this, it's amazing to see the path you walked on, how much you have grown, and to see that the whole community loves you, Big Z. You did an amazing job; we are so proud of you! Much love from Brazil

Congrats Ziqo, what a legend! Thanks for all the feels shared during this journey. What a man!

That was an adequate climax for the best community event ever arranged. Thank you so much Ziqo and Snutz, and of course Zack and the whole OTK crew + all participants. I play since korean beta and you guys made me absolutely go nuts and wake up all the other apartment tenants due to my screams of excitement and pleasure. Legendary!

I found your stream because of the legendary a fate worse than death video. I tuned in with character creation on day 1 and it was so awesome watching your journey this past month leading up to an absolute masterful performance in the tournament. 5-0 in the qualifiers and making it all the way to the grand finals, what a run. I already rewatched some of your duels this morning, they were that good. o7

It was big fun watching you work your way through the brackets. You're on another level.

You took it like a champ. Man i love watching you Ziqo. Unfortenly counter match up against the best warlock there is.

Glad to see this content and tourny helping you pop off - great content creator.

That ending interview edit fit too well 🤣 Perfect sync. Also a Great Journey for you, GG!

It’s been fun following along man. You put 100% into this and it showed. I think the biggest prize you take from this is the followership. You videos are chill, you explain things well, and you have a positive attitude. It’s why I like watching guys like you, Savix, etc.

In our heart you won it all Ziqo. Remember that.

It was really REALLY fun to follow your whole OTK journey! Leveling, gearing etc.. You are the best man, NEVER FORGET THAT!

Been so impressed with your play for months now. I knew it was going to come down to you and Snutz. You really are the mage champion.

Ziqo, your chill and your charm have been a JOY to watch through this tourney!!! I only just discovered you after my classic guild linked your Firestar vid and I'm no pvper so I don't understand half the things going on in these duels but I loved watching anyway. Great job dude, what a journey. BIG love!!

Man, what a run! Unlucky, but you still get the class bonus $ Not only that you gained so many fans! What a legend!

o7 brother ziqo. You done what you could, you came as close as you possibly could. Closer than literally anyone else. Like you said, if you were going to go down to anyone, it was going to be snutz. Not only is snutz goated, but warlock is such a rough matchup for you as well. It was a pleasure to watch you through this tournament. Absolutely insane. You should definitely be proud of yourself brother!

A few years ago when you competed in the Classic tournaments i thought you wern`t that good. But man you absolutly killed it in this one, Snutz is just not beatable for a mage. Congrats to second Place and the growing of your Channel over the past Months, you really earned it.

you did amazing. thanks for the grind! i really appreciate your stream man. music always on point.

EU repping. Mage repping. Swegyptian repping. The Black Lizard legacy lives on. Snutz brought his A game too, GG lads.

Ur the man ziqo!! I watched every one of your matches was really rooting for you. I was always a mage main on WoW you are the mage I always wanted to be!! Unreal skills, shoutout from Vancouver Canada fam!!

Even if you are not a Ziqo fan, one has to acknowledge the frigging skill and work he put up with this. Such high lvl play in Classic is amazing. Well done Sir!

GGs man! I dont even play WoW but somehow I stumbled upon one of your early leveling vids and became obsessed with following your journey in the tournament! Ill probs never watch wow content again but its been a great tournament and I salute you brother! ✌️

i'm so crushed I was rooting for you the whole time. amazing job dude

Watched your stream from the start of qualifiers.. was rooting for you to take it all! Snutz is nutz, but you played impeccably throughout the whole tournament, gzgz you were the real GOAT Black Lizard!

Very good work ! Was a real adventure to follow you , leveling, gearing and dueling ! Cya soon ! I am sure there will be other tournaments like this

gutted for ya mate. proper got into your content the last few month and was rooting for you. salute

You did great , hope to see more wins in future .

Ziqo, bro I just wanted to say following your streams throughout the month for preparing for the tournament has been an absolute blast! Whenever I had a shit day I always looked forward coming to your stream to chill and lay back. Proud to have been part of this journey with you bro! Much love!

i played a mage in classic during covid, found your channel and watched every video, love your work and was rooting for you. Warlock such a tough match for mages

I really loved watching your side of the event ! you were the one i come too to get updates ! I didnt mind about any other fighters. You did well man ! GG o7

You did excellent and showed true mastery of your class. Congratz on growing so much and making it to the finals! It was a very hard matchup and Snutz played perfectly.

Kind of new to the whole HC Classic genre, but stumbled across this tournament and I have to say not only do I think this was 1000% better than any AWC. But you/snutz and everyone was amazing! TY for showing your skillls. Earned my Sub!

You put up an amazing performance, Ziqo. It’s been such a blast following your stream throughout the tourney. You should be proud, brother

ZIQO Mage game play INSANE priest game play from hydra INSANE. major props to snutz for the w. Tbh tho this win a huge W for the wow community as a whole. Gameplay had me creaming myself. Fkin AMAZING!!

It was never about the win this journey solidified you as a complete badass. Thank you for countless hours or entertainment, explanations, and most importantly excellence. Ggs welll done brother

You were the reason I even started watching the tourney and was pulling for you and glad you got as far as you did. Enjoy your break you all deserve it. Thanks for the content

bro i had your stream on my phone running while being at a halloween party and no joke at the end of the evening everyone knew about "the mage" that had to win. people were sad when you died in the finale but everyone was rooting for you!

Men, really well played! I was a mage main back then, during vanilla/ tbc - i was rooting for you the whole time, feeling nervous af... i can only imagine your feelings during that mage lock final... in the end, they are just THAT hard! mad respect to your prep and to snutz - he did play godly after all! Well played my dude! 🤜🤛

Bro! You may have lost the tournament, but you won in the eyes of all of us! Nobody can say they’ve had the journey that you have had. Bro, this is what Wow has been all about ! We are all thrilled and amazed to have witnessed this journey, standing by your side! It has been an honor, and I’m sure we all can look forward to some future endeavors! Thanks, Ziqo! ❤

Ziqo i started following you on your HC journey, gotta say love your positive attitude and obviously your skill level, keep up the good work, love from Chile

Well , there's so much to say, but I guess this was & is the BEST duel, geared and dedicated players in WoW history! You fought the best you could of! I am proud to give up my "NO Deaths" title on the final duel! POG my man, it was a G8 run!

Caught this last night. Your rounds were absolutely inspired. That first round of you fighting Flixxy was also a blast to watch. You have so much to be proud of. Congrats on all you accomplished. Just legendary

Congrats on what you've achieved Ziqo!

This might be the peak of world of warcraft moments! A bunch of legends who sweated it out for a whole month met and fought to the death! Big Z is a fucking LEGEND but snutz is an amazing warlock! Hats off! Thanks for the entertainment!

Ziqo... vilken grabb! Du är otrolig, för mig vann du. Du ska vara stolt över dig själv! Du är inte bara den bästa magen du är den bästa snubben också!

I was cheering for you man. I watched on Asmo's channel but I am now a massive fan of yours. I feel like you did as good as you possibly could have done for the whole tournament and the results of the finals were to be expected. Tough matchup. Best WoW/RU-vid/ANY!!!!!!! content I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

This made me find you a month ago and I couldn't be happier to watch your vids

Back in vanilla, there was this debate between me and the other mages in the guild. They kept saying "PoM+Pyro" was the only way to PvP, and called me lucky when I did better then them on my frost mage. Watching you brought back great memories. Thank you for all the hard work you put into getting ready for this tournament, and thank you for some of the best mage PvP I have ever seen.

Was rooting for u, sad you didnt win but it's an uphill battle when youre facing Snutz on his lock. Either way, ggs

I subbed because you are honestly one of the best mages I've ever seen play. You gained a ton of fans and plenty of new people will be flooding into your stream. Way to go man.

It was amazing from the very beginning to the very end!

Just found you and man you have an awesome attitude , especially considering how good you are, WP.

Badass performance! And very honorable after remarks, you da man.

Fantastic work! Thoroughly enjoyed watching you battle your way through. Champ in my eyes. 07 to you Ziqo. Keep up the content!

100% the people's champ. What a performance you put on bro, from start to finish you showed everyone what this game looks like at the absolute highest level. You were and always will be CLEAAANNNN muh boi.

You’re funny AF, have THE BEST attitude, and you’re cold as ice with that Mage. Best content on YT the past 4-6 weeks!

You've been amazing in this tournament and coming up to it! Would be really nice to see analysis of what exactly went wrong and what was going through your mind. Why didn't you use shadow res gear?

Snutz is a great player but warlock just had such an insane kit in classic man.....

i was rooting for you man o7 what an amazing run you had, keep your head up

the death of a glory, the birth of a legend

Legend, enjoyed watching your run and the gearing process! Earnt a subscriber!

Ziqo is a true warrior. Class act in victory and defeat.

Top of the mage class, and top class IRL. Great tournament Ziqo! Thank You for the fun times.

Such a good run. Warlocks so strong though, and shadow resist not working correctly is a feels bad

My whole hardcore guild was rooting for you. You did amazing. Thank you for all the amazing content and specially for your positive and cheerful attitude throughout the entire preparation.

You played so well, enjoyed every duel. Congratulations!

I am so happy you are posting more often. All your content is a great watch. Amazing duels.

What a player, What a gentleman, Congrats to me for discovering you few years ago, you have no idea how lucky i am for watching you and how you bring true profound joy into my heart. What a legend

You did good man, congrats and always a pleasure to watch you play I know Byron is watching down and was doing his own commentary over the fight and hyping up the finale

Massive props!

Awesome to hear Tips actually coming to talk with you first and doing some aftercare what a just-great-guy.

N o o b - d o w n

I just subbed after watching you play. I played a mage through to cata before quitting. I rolled a mage main in wow classic to max lvl. You brought back memories man. Oustanding player.

mad proud of you! warlock is just fundamentally a lamer class mechanics wise, mage is the pinnacle of interactive and big brain strat. dont get me wrong mage is one of it not the most powerful classes and as a warrior main i know the pains of being absolutely gimped, mage was the most fun i ever had along with rogue just because they have so many tools. but shadow priests and warlocks are just so powerful by virtue of bullsh**/ the dots auto win and they have so many stall and tank tactics that no other cloth class is afforded.

Nothing to take away from Snutz, he’s a beast! Mages are just underpowered against Locks in the paper/rock/scissors game in classic. Ziqo is easily the best mage I have ever seen.

Congrats Ziqo, nice job man. I just wish the Classic PvP wasn't rock-paper-scissor. Mage > warrior, warrior > hunter, druid > mage , warrior > warlock (unless the lock is named Snutz) are almost impossible matchups. Ziqo played out of his mind but if he faces a druid in the first round it's over. Same for the finals, beating a highly skilled lock is next to impossible. It was an extremely fun event though.

Fair Play to you Bro. You took it like a champ. GG

gg ziqo, such a legend!

You may not have won but you re the champ with championship mindset, love it.

Great final Ziqo, well played.
