Warlocks Take First and Second in the $100,000 Forever Open

The $100,000 Forever Open was a level 30 dueling tournament, and Warlockguy won its $50,000 grand prize. Warlocks also secured both first and second place, according to the tournament report.[1]

That top finish did not mean Warlocks led every qualifying measure: 14 Warlocks went undefeated, compared with 15 Paladins. The report describes Warlocks as even against Paladins and in mirror matches, with Mages presenting their toughest challenge.[1]

The report points to a level 30 toolkit built around control and pressure: Fear and Seduction can disrupt opponents, while damage-over-time spells can prevent healing or stealth. It also highlights pet options such as Demonic Sacrifice and Soul Link as sources of flexibility.[1]

Those strengths help explain the tournament results, but the matchup details matter too: Paladins held their own against Warlocks, and Mages were identified as the class that challenged them most. The results point to strong tournament performance, not an effortless sweep of every opponent.[1]
