that's not the hotpot , it's an exploit where you only consume 1 unit of hot pot and get the buff for as long as you want it to be and they've been using it for a while sadly without anyone understanding how. so they basically won thanks to an exploit and lack of corrupts on low targets from your mages
Yes, the bug became well known to the community maybe a month or so after this fight. Was pretty funny watching kidney's vid "exposing" wicked when in reality he outed every sipper in his alliance. Was a fun fight regardless, have nothing but respect for Abbadon.
