Blizzard gives heavy hitting Hearthstone a silly name – That’s why a Twitch streamer is now selling mustard

In the Hearthstone card game, Blizzard has incorporated a serious hit, “Spicy Pretzel Mustard” – the most famous Twitch streamer on Hearthstone, Kripparian, used this as an excuse to enter into a deal. But not like many streamers with an energy drink manufacturer, but with a mustard company.

What is this success?

• Blizzard’s card game Hearthstone has had the “Battlegrounds” mode since 2019, in which 8 players play against each other until only one is left.
• One of the hardest achievements you can get in the mode is called “Spicy Pretzel Mustard” – something like “Spicy Pretzel Mustard”: For this you have to be first in the mode and win every round. There is also success without Spicy, for this it is enough to win a game without giving up any rounds.
• As Blizzard revealed in June 2021, only 5.8% of all players have this achievement.

Why is success called that? you don’t know – Blizzard is weird sometimes. Maybe an inside joke.

Twitch streamer is much smaller than 6 years ago, still prefer Hearthstone

Who is the most popular Hearthstone streamer? The streamer Ocatavian “Kripparian” Morosan is a guy in his own right: Where other streamers take every hype with them, moan into microphones or make a monkey of themselves with loud roars, the 34-year-old has been playing Hearthstone since time immemorial. Known for his dry sense of humor and calm, level-headed manner, he’s also very whingy and salty when Hearthstone isn’t going well. That’s just part of the game.

When Hearthstone was a big thing on Twitch — a long, long time ago — Kripparian was the talk of the town.

Hearthstone now only plays a supporting role, but Kripparian is still loyal to Blizzard’s card game: With 1.5 million followers, he has built up a large following.

On average, 4,300 spectators are watching him today. Kripp is now 5 times smaller than in 2016 when he had 21,000 viewers, but Kripparian just loves Hearthstone and can’t help it.

In 2016, Kripparian was such a Hearthstone junkie that he could have crashed the servers with one click, as Ben Brode once revealed.

Hearthstone is a slightly silly offshoot of WoW:

“Kripp may be too salty – This pretzel spread isn’t”

This is his new project now: Kripparian has struck a deal with a mustard maker and is now selling Kripps’s Spicy Pretzel Mustard.

The 8-ounce can retails for $20.

On Amazon we learn: “Kripparian wanted to bring you the taste of victory with a sauce that is an achievement in taste. This horseradish mustard recipe was inducted into the Mustard Hall of Fame in Middleton, Wisconsin. Kripp may be too salty, but this delicious pretzel spread isn’t.”

They also guarantee that the product is vegan-friendly and that the horseradish root is trimmed, chopped and peeled by hand.

In any case, the first customers seem enthusiastic: The product has already received 5-star ratings: “It tastes like Kripp” says one buyer. Well then, bon appetit.

A similarly well-known streamer as Kripp on Hearthstone was Andrey “Reynad” Yanyuk. In the meantime, however, he has become boss himself:
