Warlockguy's path to the Forever Open title meant facing Neepzen, getting past Cdewx in the lower final, then meeting Neepzen again for the championship. Xaryu's World of Warcraft tournament coverage gave that return trip a much larger audience than his streams usually draw.

The finals broadcast picked up roughly 564,000 views in its first day, more than thirteen times the usual start for his long videos and live streams. The comment section was unusually busy, too, with viewers singling out Xaryu's play-by-play and thanking the people behind the tournament.

For anyone who wants the duels without the full broadcast's long buildup, Xaryu also posted a separate highlights edit. Its chapters trace the action from early matchups featuring players including Venruki and Sodapoppin through Warlockguy's closing run, ending with the grand final and winner interview. A separate upload, "The Winner Warlockguy," puts the result right in its title.

That is a different scale of occasion from the weapon-sheathing options featured here earlier this month. This time, Xaryu's channel has the full tournament session, a condensed account of the duels and individual moments, including "Xaryu's Favorite Duel Day 2."

2:22:19 That ending is so insane. It was tied 1-1 with the winner advancing to the next round, and both of their HP showed 0.0% at the same time 😮
