Currently, Twitch was the company that dominated the list with the highest number of users to watch videos and livestreams online.
In the latest market analysis, in the livestream market Twitch accounted for 96% of the amount of hours watched on livestreams around the world, and in terms of videos, that number currently stands at 73%.
Considering that Twitch had accepted users to post their videos there just 2 months ago, swallowing 73% of the market was already something completely unbelievable.
Already considering the livestreams, it was not surprising that this number was 96%, since 99.5% of Mojang games livestreams were held on Twitch, and seeing that Mojang games were completely dominating this industry, this did not surprise anyone.
So to see that Streamers on Oasis were already amassing over 500 million people currently watching after the news that Mojang was holding a surprise event was very acceptable to viewers around the world.
At this point, no one was thinking how staggering these numbers were, but were actually looking to see if their favorite Streamer was Online at one of Mojang's stores in Oasis to see if they would be able to watch this event!
On Ned's livestream, there were currently 92 million people around the world. As the language barrier had no difference in Mojang game livestreams because of simultaneous translation, people from different countries were excitedly commenting while speculating what was going to happen.
But they didn't have to wait long.
The lights in all Mojang stores dimmed by 90% so that players could focus on the large screen that appeared floating in the center of the store, right on the boundary between players on the Alliance side and players on the Horde side.
On that screen, a map with two continents divided by a stormy sea appeared.
"Look, this is the map someone posted on the forum!" One player yelled excitedly.
Suddenly, a very graceful and experienced female voice appeared in the video, saying something that made the players shiver!

"Woooah, the book was right!" Another player yelled excitedly.
"I knew that post was right, that book really stood for something important!"
[Although Azeroth was saved, the tenuous pact between the Horde and the Alliance all but evaporated. The drums and thunder of war once more...]
"FOR THE HORDE!"
"FOR THE ALIANCE!"
Players on both sides started screaming excitedly as they heard the narrator's voice saying the name of the group they liked.
When they heard the scream from the other end, players would start screaming even louder, trying to compete over who had the most excited crowd in the store!
Suddenly, the narrator became quiet and the map image disappeared from the screen, making the players grow quiet in anticipation.
In the background it was possible to hear a song being sung by a male choir, this choir was saying words that no one there could understand, but by the drums playing in the background it sounded like something grand!
Snow appeared on the screen, and right after that a dwarf with a shotgun in his hand walking with a bear appeared!
From behind the mountain they were walking on, a grandiose city that entered the mountain appeared, causing Alliance group players to scream.
"The dwarves are part of the alliance! It's an alliance dwarf!!!"
"FOR THE ALIANCE!!!"
The Horde players saw this and got excited, waiting for someone from the Horde to show up next for them to scream too.
Snowflakes covered the vision of the dwarf walking across the mountain and changed to leaves that revealed the figure of a graceful woman with purple skin and pointed ears.
This woman was crouched down while looking at something dead on the ground while leaning on a staff.
Hearing some noise, the woman started running through the forest and the faster she ran, the more the players screamed, until suddenly, when the woman stood in front of a cliff, instead of stopping her running, a purple glow reflected on the moon and she turned into a big black panther!
This black panther fearlessly jumped off the cliff, leaving the camera behind.
"It's a Night Elf!"
"Night Elves are beautiful!"
"She's from the Alliance!"
"FOR THE ALIANCE!"
The Alliance players started jumping up and down excitedly as they screamed and cheered to see a character so beautiful that they had only heard about in the stories in the book, now there, so beautiful and realistic in front of them on that big screen in the middle of the store.
The Horde players felt their blood run hot with excitement, they also wanted to scream just like the Alliance players, but no Horde race showed up.
But to their happiness, as soon as the beautiful Night Elf disappeared, a very ugly foot appeared with the sounds of crows flying and screaming all around.
As soon as the camera lifted, an old man with necrotic skin appeared.
If it was just the appearance of this old man, people would even feel disgust and revulsion, but seeing the green fire behind this man, and mainly, the great stone demon and green lava rising up, most of the men in the room were shocked. how badass this old man looked!
"Woah, that's an Undead!"
"It's an Undead!!!!"
"FOR THE HORDEEE!!!!!"
As soon as the first Horde race emerged, the Horde players were finally able to release the emotion they had been repressing and they screamed from the bottom of their hearts.
The Undead weren't even such a popular-looking race among readers who liked the Horde, but the history of this race was something that people really enjoyed, and seeing the first race of the Horde come into being, these players screamed anyway!
With the scream of the great demon behind the Undead, the screen changed to a beautiful pasture, and in front of the camera, a giant minotaur appeared, with extremely large muscles, but with great grace this giant scattered a glowing dust among the plants that were growing. .
"It's a Tauren!!!!!!""
"OMG, the Tauren is behemoth!"
"FOR THE HORDE!!!!"
But the Horde players didn't even have time to breathe, when the golden dust that the Tauren released changed the image into red flames.
These flames started showing a large destroyed castle, probably the result of a recent invasion.
And right after that, an extremely muscular monster appeared, with very toned muscles and green skin, this monster was hitting a wooden stick on the ground until it attacked the camera before letting out a powerful roar!
"ORC!!!!!!!"
"THE ORC HAS APPEARED!"
"WOOOOAAAHHH!!"
"FOR THE HORDE, FOR THE HORDE!"
When that Orc was engulfed in flames, the song reached a climax.
The camera view changed to a tower, in this tower several fireballs were being thrown around.
As it got closer, it could be seen that the target of the fireballs was the lava giant that the Undead was controlling, and at the top of the tower, the one throwing those fireballs was a human!
Before the players could fully realize how that human was doing it, the human turned to the camera and threw that fireball at it!
"THE HUMAN MAGICIAN!"
"THE MAGICIAN IS RELENTLESS!"
"FOR THE ALIANCE, FOR THE ALIANCE!"
When the fireball hit the camera, the screen went black for 2 seconds, making players anticipate what would come next.
Soon the vision returned to color, and the Dwarf who was walking in the forest earlier, was now pointing his shotgun forward before shooting, the bear who was walking beside the dwarf was now running while roaring towards an enemy.
And the enemy of these two? It was a mighty Tauren that hit the Bear with great force using a gigantic wooden log!
"FOR THE ALIANCE, FOR THE ALIANCE!"
"FOR THE HORDE, FOR THE HORDE!"
The scene showed several lava giants running in some direction, before switching to a scene of a powerful Orc attacking an agile Night Elf.
"FOR THE ALIANCE, FOR THE ALIANCE!"
"FOR THE HORDE, FOR THE HORDE!"
A human mage was controlling the power of ice to freeze the ground, until suddenly, the gigantic Tauren slammed his wooden log into the camera, changing the screen to an all too familiar text.
[The Elder Scrolls: Warcraft!]
"WOOOOAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!"
