World of Warcraft’s new trivia show got its own question wrong during one of its most recent episodes. This mistake had World of Warcraft fans and lore experts facepalming in embarrassment–especially considering the incorrect answer hasn’t been fixed yet.
Stump Sean is World of Warcraft’s new trivia show that began in early April. The quiz show pits three WoW fans against one another, after which the winner gets the chance to challenge historian supervisor and senior manager of lore Sean Copeland in a World of Warcraft trivia showdown.
However, during the third episode of Stump Sean, World of Warcraft got its own lore wrong. The question at 4:23 during the episode asked what demigod Grommash Hellscream killed on Kalimdor during Warcraft 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 claims World of Warcraft repeatedly 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 of Stump Sean on the World of Warcraft YouTube account still features the incorrectly-answered question, despite claims on plans to fix it soon.
World of Warcraft fans couldn’t believe Stump Sean made such an embarrassing mistake. Grom consuming the corrupted demon blood and slaying Cenarius was an incredibly important arc during Warcraft 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 until his role in Cataclysm and Legion, it still couldn’t have been him.
The first three episodes of Stump Sean are available now, with new episodes airing on Thursdays. It is currently unclear how long World of Warcraft plans on making this game show, but it will at least give players something to do until the release of Embers of Neltharion on May 2. Hopefully, World of Warcraft can correct the error in the previous episode and prevent similar mistakes from popping up in the future.
World of Warcraft is available now for PC.
