Achievements

World of Warcraft

Kripparrian was a World of Warcraft player before beginning his streaming career, recognized for being the first person to complete the Ironman Challenge, being in a leading US raiding guild, Exodus, as well as being a competitor of top Hunter DPS parses during that time. In mid-2010, Kripparrian had the highest damage per second benchmarks for the Hunter class in the game.

Diablo III

Kripparrian is notable for completing the Diablo III video game at "Inferno" difficulty (the highest in the game at that time) with his friend Krippi, just over a month after it was launched. The achievement was done before patch 1.0.3, which made the game easier, and both players used "Hardcore" characters in the feat, which are lost forever when the characters are killed in the game.

Hearthstone

Kripparrian is the all-time most popular Hearthstone streamer. He competed in the Innkeeper's Invitational Hearthstone tournament at BlizzCon 2013. He has also achieved "Legend rank", the highest ranking in the game's ladder system, which he reached in August 2015. However, Kripparrian is more known as an experienced Arena player, as he is able to achieve high victory streaks despite having drafted poor cards. He is noted for his fun and innovative Hearthstone decks and spearheaded efforts, along with his wife, Rania, towards making Challengestone, a Hearthstone deckbuilding competition. GamesRadar listed Kripparrian's Twitch channel as one players should watch.

Kripparrian, AmazHS, and Frodan commentated the Hearthstone World Championship at Blizzcon 2015.

His streams get around 50,512 viewers on average. In January 2017 and September 2018, he achieved the first place in the first monthly "Top 100" leaderboard for North America players in the "Arena" game mode.

Before his streaming career, Kripparrian worked as a computer technician after dropping out of college, where he was studying physics and mathematics.

He is married to Rania Chatzi Morosan (underflowR), who is also his manager and the editor of his YouTube videos, as well as maintains a YouTube channel with clips from their real life. They were married on October 31, 2014.
