However, during the third episode ofStump Sean,World of Warcraftgot its own lore wrong. The question at 4:23 during the episode asked what demigod Grommash Hellscream killed on KalimdorduringWarcraft 3. Stump Sean gave Malorne, Ysera, Zaetar, and Ursol as answers to the question. None of these are correct; the right answer is Cenarius. The camera briefly cuts to Copeland right when he realizes the mistake, and his face is priceless.
According to his wife April Copeland, Sean called out the mistake to the game show’s writers, who claimed they would fix it in post-production. However, she claimsWorld of Warcraftrepeatedly posted the wrong version of the video on accident, which was made private for a short time to try and fix it. At press time, the version of Episode 3 ofStump Seanon theWorld of WarcraftYouTube account still features the incorrectly-answered question, despite claims on plans to fix it soon.
World of Warcraftfans couldn’t believeStump Seanmade such an embarrassing mistake. Grom consuming the corrupted demon blood and slaying Cenarius was an incredibly important arc duringWarcraft 3, so players were baffled at how such a simple question could be messed up. Even more confusing was the fact that none of the three contestants caught on to this mistake, going so far as to answer incorrectly once before settling on Malorne. As the father of Cenarius, Malorne is the closest to being right, but considering he was dead untilhis role in Cataclysm and Legion, it still couldn’t have been him.
The first three episodes ofStump Seanare available now, with new episodes airing on Thursdays. It is currently unclear how longWorld of Warcraftplans on making this game show, but it will at least give players something to do until therelease ofEmbers of Neltharionon May 2. Hopefully,World of Warcraftcan correct the error in the previous episode and prevent similar mistakes from popping up in the future.
