Sodapoppin now realizes where his place is. It’s not in the world of competitive gaming; he’s a dinosaur, so he now plays “The Isle,” where he can roam around as a dinosaur.
“Too old for this shit”
What does he really mean? It’s hard to say how seriously to take this. Sodapoppin is considered someone with dry humor:
- While Sodapoppin says he is 32, according to all information online, he is only 26 years old
- The reference to Boomer is probably not to be taken seriously
- WoW is not known as a game that requires incredibly fast reflexes
It is known that Sodapoppin tried to reach rank 14 in WoW and failed.
However, most WoW players believe that reaching rank 14 in WoW Classic has less to do with skill but rather with endurance and subjugating everything to the grind. You have to play PvP every free minute until you achieve that.
Perhaps as a successful Twitch streamer, one is no longer in the mindset to endure such a grind.

The Twitch streamer Chance “Sodapoppin” Morris loves WoW Classic and has dedicated months of his life and thousands of dollars to the MMORPG, but the realization is settling in: At 26 years old, he is too old to keep up with the kids today. He says he feels like a dinosaur.
What does Sodapoppin have to do with WoW? Sodapoppin is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch. With 2.7 million followers, he is among the top 20.
When the American started with Twitch in 2012, he played and streamed the MMORPG WoW and became one of the most popular streamers of World of Warcraft until he turned to other things, like blackjack.
When it became known that Blizzard was making WoW Classic, Sodapoppin was excited, even saying for the launch he even signed a promotional deal. He grinded for hours upon release, to be one of the first to reach level 60. In August, Sodapoppin took a nap live during a Twitch stream.
Streamer loves WoW Classic so much that he quit Twitch
However, he then said: WoW is boring for the viewers and he wants to fully devote himself to the game. Thus, Sodapoppin decided to take a longer break on Twitch to reach rank 14 in WoW’s PvP:
- In August, Sodapoppin streamed 84 hours of WoW to an average of 35,000 viewers
- In September, it was 111 hours to 29,000 viewers
- In November, he reduced WoW Classic to 29 hours and streamed a variety of other games in between
- In December 2019, Sodapoppin didn’t stream a single minute more on Twitch. In doing so, he likely gave up tens of thousands of dollars.
Sodapoppin gave up the PvP grind for rank 14 in WoW Classic after some time. In January 2019, he was back on air, but no longer with WoW.
This is what Sodapoppin says now: In a stream, he is asked what happened to his plan to achieve rank 14 in WoW Classic.
Sodapoppin says he loves WoW and has invested hundreds of hours in WoW Classic, but he simply couldn’t keep up in PvP:
I played WoW and realized, I’m just not good at the game. I’m 32 years old now, I’m a Boomer in a world of Zoomers, and I just can’t keep up with these kids. Their reaction time is absolutely insane.
