Esfand's $100,000 WoW Forever tournament reaches the final duels

The finals broadcast draws an unusually fast audience, while Esfand and Xaryu's shorter coverage follows Sodapoppin's attempt to come back against Ryhaz.

The Forever Open: $100,000 Classic Beta Tournament FINALS! | Esfand Live 10/18/2026

Sodapoppin needs a comeback, and Esfand's tournament coverage gives each duel its own chapter. Alongside the full Forever Open finals broadcast, separate uploads follow his opening loss, his attempt to recover and the deciding encounter with Ryhaz, with Esfand and Xaryu covering the action.

The finals stream has drawn roughly 326,000 views in half a day, already well beyond the usual full-day audience for Esfand's long broadcasts. The beta tournament that filled his channel's preparations earlier this month has become the main attraction itself.

There is also a much shorter way into the event. A Short featuring Payoo and Feorblade, titled "This Duel Was Absolute Cinema...🤯| $100K WoW Forever Dueling Tournament", is drawing an unusually large audience by the channel's Shorts standards. Its description puts Esfand and Xaryu together on commentary, highlighting a different pairing from the finals clips.

For Esfand, the tournament sits comfortably beside the paladin adventures that already define much of his Warcraft library. His most-watched regular upload follows a revenge mission with a crowd of paladins. Here, the focus narrows from a group expedition to individual duels.

The numbers

The finals broadcast is running far ahead of Esfand's usual long-stream start. The Payoo-Feorblade Short is also above its own format's usual pace.
