The probably most famous WoW player of all time and for a long time the “best warrior of Azeroth” is returning with Classic. Veterans may still remember Kungen.
If you played World of Warcraft 15 years ago and had a bit of knowledge about the raid scene, you also know the great legends and role models. One of them was the warrior Kungen, who was known for many years as “the best tank in the world”. With WoW Classic, he aims to dedicate himself to World of Warcraft once again.
Who exactly is Kungen? Thomas Bengtsson, who was known as Kungen back then, was considered the best warrior tank in the world during Vanilla and even in “The Burning Crusade”. Hundreds tried to emulate him, and hardly anyone delved as deeply into the matter as he did – sometimes he even surprised the developers of WoW.
Kungen wrote many guides and founded the professional guild Nihilum, which managed to claim many of the biggest first kills for many years. This included the first kill of C’Thun and Kel’Thuzad in Classic, but also all end bosses of all raids in “The Burning Crusade” except for Kil’Jaeden.
Famous penalty in Wrath of the Lich King: He was still active in Wrath of the Lich King, after his guild had merged with another one to form Ensidia. Here, many players received a ban during the kill of the Lich King because they completely exploited a game mechanic by using Saronite bombs. According to Blizzard, this was a clear exploitation of an exploit, Ensidia argued that all rogues used Saronite bombs in their rotations.
During the time of Wrath of the Lich King, Kungen was even particularly honored, as he received his own card in the WoW Trading Card Game:
Kungen returns permanently: Kungen has now announced on Twitter that he will return and that his stream will be “active for years” again. Although he has not yet planned what he will do in Classic, he seems to be focused. Whether he will lead a guild again and therefore want to claim the “new first kills” remains to be seen in the coming days.
So if you still have nostalgic feelings for the “heroes of the past” and want to watch an old legend lose itself in Classic again, you should keep an eye on the KungenTV stream on Twitch. Especially players who want to play a warrior in WoW Classic might learn a trick or two there.
