Gaming News Elon Musk among the top 20 best Diablo 4 players? So yes, but it’s not nearly as impressive as it sounds
Elon Musk is visible everywhere and especially in video games: according to him, he would be among the 20 best Diablo IV players in the world, exactly that. In truth, the businessman plays with words, but it at least has the advantage that people talk about him speak.
In the top 20, yes, but…
Elon Musk is known for his bold, even controversial statements in many areas, and it turns out that the richest man in the world loves video games. For example, he’s gone out of his way to appear in Cyberpunk 2077, has previously confirmed that he’s a big fan of Quake, and even shares his games and video clips on his second X account with the sober name cyb3rgam3r420. On the current Joe Rogan Experience podcast: The eponymous moderator asked him if he was among the 20 best players in the world of Diablo IV, a game that Elon Musk is currently particularly playing.
Imagine that after a moment of hesitation Musk responded positively: He would be among Blizzard’s top 20 hack ‘n slash players and one of only two Americans in this rankingthe other goes by the pseudonym Resistance and places himself at the top of the podium. In reality, it turns out he’s actually in the top 20, but the top 20 of a very specific challenge and only in the ratings hosted on Helltides. Which changes the situation.
We need to revise the formula
Helltides is an unofficial website that lists player achievements in Diablo IV. However, in order for these to be displayed, you must Players must submit their results themselves. So we are not on an official scoreboard that could automatically count the scores of all players in the world of Diablo IV.
And for now, Elon Musk also speaks of a very specific challenge: that of penetrating the pit as quickly as possiblea particularly difficult challenge reserved for high-level players in which we follow a series of increasingly difficult dungeons. So of course it is a challenge that is accepted and Elon Musk, who appears in 19th place with a time of 2 minutes and 45 seconds at the highest level, has therefore shown a certain skill… but it still has to be done again be reconsidered: Firstly, because there are “only” 697″ points registered for this challenge on Helltides and we are therefore very, very far away from all Diablo IV players who have tried to tame the pit. in question
Over and beyond, because Musk played a Spiritborn, a class currently considered by many to be the most overpowered in the gamealthough the top 400 players in Pit on Helltides also used the same character type. After all, it always seems good to put things into context!
