Octavian Morosan[1] (born June 30, 1987),[2] better known by his online username Kripparrian, is a Canadian[3] Twitch streamer and video game personality. He is known for his achievements on Diablo III, World of Warcraft and Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, winning the "Favorite Hearthstone Stream" and Most "Engaged" Viewers categories, and coming second in the "Highest Stream View Average" category at the Blizzard Stream Awards in 2014.[4]
Achievements
Diablo III
Kripparrian is notable for completing the Diablo III video game at "Inferno" difficulty (the highest in the game) 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.[3][5]
World of Warcraft
In mid-2010, Kripparrian had the highest damage per second benchmarks for the Hunter class in the game.[6]
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft
Kripparrian is also a Hearthstone streamer, and competed in the Innkeeper's Invitational Hearthstone tournament at BlizzCon 2013.[7] He has also achieved "Legend rank", the highest ranking in the game's ladder system, which he reached in August 2015.[1] 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 towards making Challengestone, a Hearthstone deckbuilding competition.[8] GamesRadar listed Kripparrian's Twitch channel as one players should watch.[9]
AmazHS, Kripparrian, and Frodan commentated the Hearthstone World Championship at Blizzcon 2015.[10]
His streams get around 30,000 viewers on average.[11]
