Diablo 3: Kripp/Krippi Claim World First Diablo Kill on Hardcore Inferno

Kripp and Krippi are officially the first players to clear Diablo in Hardcore on Inferno difficulty.

Their accomplishment was certified by Blizzard spokesperson Micah "Bashiok" Whipple over Twitter. He had initially denied that they were the first players to finish the game in Hardcore on Inferno, but has since posted an apology to the two players.

"My apologies to Kripp and Krippi," he wrote on Twitter. "Looks like you were 1st HC Inferno clear."

"My spreadsheet deciphering isn't what it used to be! Congrats!"

Brass balls, like the ones Kripp and Krippi have. Hardcore's for closers only. 

Word of Kripp and Krippi's world first spread like wildfire throughout the Internet yesterday, with a post by Boubouille on the DiabloFans fansite confirming their status. Their victory was livestreamed on the duo's Twitch.tv channel.

Congratulations once again to Kripp and Krippi!
