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.
