A Twitch streamer has been (unintentionally) fighting for the title of “Worst Player of Sauercrowd” in recent weeks. Now he has a happy ending and the respect from the community.
Which streamer is it? Pummelfee86, whose real name is Lars, comes from Bremen and has his own pub for 11 years. When he is not behind the bar, he plays video games. Since April 2021, he has been sharing his hobby on Twitch with interested viewers. He has accumulated over 47,000 followers by November 2025 (Source: twitchtracker.com).
As is known, in December the Sauercrowd event of the German Twitch scene started. Among those participating was Pummelfee86. However, the streamer did not progress far while leveling up. Level 12, Level 9, Level 12, Level 16 … he had his first four ghost healer visits before New Year’s Eve. On the hardcore servers of WoW Classic, this always means: starting over!
The Grueling Fight at Level 60
How did the event go for Pummelfee86? At the beginning of the new year, things did not look better for the streamer. Up until January 12, 2026, Pummelfee died a total of 13 times. His characters never got beyond Level 26. Only the Sauercrowd participant HACI has died more frequently during the event (16 deaths, most recently on February 7, after a kamikaze pull, Source: Twitch).
Unlike HACI, however, Pummelfee was able to learn from his mistakes and adjust his playstyle. From then on, he often played in a group to hunt for experience points together.
Additionally, luck was on his side. The numerous “Close Calls” clips on sauercrowd.gg demonstrate that Pummelfee’s virtual life in Azeroth was constantly in danger despite the team-building measures.
In the end, however, Pummelfee was rewarded for his perseverance. With the quest “Morganth”, he reached the maximum level 60 with his hardcore warrior. The relief and joy of the streamer were palpable on Twitch: “Awesome thing. […] Crazy, crazy, crazy. This is crazy. […] It’s so cool to hit 60 in Elwynn Forest. This is where it all started. I spent a lot of time here.”
How does the community react to the success? Although only a few other players were present at the time, many viewers congratulated the streamer live in the chat. Additionally, part of the community is celebrating his success on Reddit.
- Sorst writes there: “Haha, I thought he had stopped because no death clips were coming anymore. Much respect for him always getting back in.”
- UseRevolutionary8971 adds: “The way it looked at the beginning, I never expected that. GZ!”
- itzDnns explains: “Here you can see what a learning curve is. With HACI, however, the line always stays the same.”
- koomGER jokes: “Seriously: he can achieve anything, right? If he ever wants to be president or a millionaire, he’ll make it happen.”
- Nimu0815 celebrates: “I am really happy for him. Such perseverance truly deserves respect!”
Currently, Pummelfee’s follower count stands at just over 44,600, which is below his peak of November 2025. This decline is due to a significant drop in numbers in December 2025 by 3,671. However, since January 2026, the figure has been rising again. Other participants are among the clear winners of the event: 10 big winners of Sauercrowd – for these Twitch streamers, the adventure in WoW Classic Hardcore has already been worth it
