A Mid-Pull Vanish, Caught Live
A Team Liquid DPS vanished from Voidspire mid-pull—not to a mechanic, but to an expired World of Warcraft subscription. During the Midnight expansion’s world first race, Imfiredup froze in place before getting booted to the login screen, all while the team was pushing a boss attempt on stream.
The moment played out in real time on raid leader Maximum’s Twitch channel. “My POV fucked up, I can’t see anything,” he said while trying to steady comms, then cracked up as the cause became clear. “[Imfiredup’s] fucking subscription expired. Keep going, keep going, keep going. You fucking idiot.” The team laughed, then snapped back to the pull like nothing happened.
Chat didn’t recover as quickly. Twitch spam exploded with laughing emojis and LMAOs while the group pushed the attempt as far as it would go. When it became clear they wouldn’t close it out, Maximum called for a reset, still trying not to lose it again on mic.
WoW Tokens And A Very Human Error
After logging back in, Imfiredup owned up to the slip. “I actually bought a WoW token, I forgot to use it,” he said, triggering another round of laughter. For anyone not deep in the weeds, WoW Tokens can be redeemed for 30 days of game time. Buying one and not clicking the redeem button is the digital equivalent of leaving your concert ticket on the kitchen counter.
This isn’t the first time Imfiredup has made headlines in a race setting. He’s the same player who previously courted controversy by risking his account for a tiny damage boost a couple of years ago. Compared to that, forgetting to top up your sub is small potatoes—embarrassing, sure, but hardly a competitive scandal.
