Shroud said that his girlfriend will attempt to log him into WoW Classic so he doesn\u2019t waste any time with long queues. He then realized how much effort he\u2019s putting into Blizzard\u2019s game, but doesn\u2019t seem to mind it. \u201cGod, this is such a grind,\u201d shroud said. \u201cI can\u2019t believe I\u2019m committing this much into WoW. What the fuck is wrong with me\u2026 I mean, I\u2019m down. I want to hit 60 and I don\u2019t want to be too fucking late.\u201d Shroud\u2019s dedication to WoW Classic is obvious. He did a 25-hour stream after the game\u2019s launch. The stream ended with shroud\u2019s computer getting the blue screen of death, hinting that all of the hours in Azeroth might be taxing his rig. Due to all of the hours that shroud has been putting into leveling his Orc Shaman, players looking to watch some Apex Legends only have two options\u2014watch somebody else or join the WoW movement.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/10121231\/34329692595_1c638b0c8b_k.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165450"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1745"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165450"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165450\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165450"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=165450"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=165450"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=165450"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=165450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
