Blizzard recently announced a contest involving Diablo 4, where the first 1000 people to reach level 100 in Hardcore mode (permadeath mode) will get their names etched on a Lilith statue placed in an undisclosed location.

Many have tried and mostly failed, but we now have our first-ever Level 100 Hardcore player right now: streamer Souaib “cArn” Hanaf, a gamer who “used to play StarCraft II and Dota 2 for a living”. He is the world’s first to reach Level 100 in Hardcore mode, with their party comprised of other streamers Zizaran, Cocobear, and Steelmage. cArn’s build is a Whirlwind Barbarian that relied on Battle Shouts and Whirlwind uptime.

Check out the landmark moment below.
