Basically close, thought the starcraft 2 wiki on Amon said he was the one, along with his followers, who uplifted the Protoss and Zerg in order to make the hybrid and destroy the infinite cycle. Also Amon turned the zerg on the Xel’naga who came to stop him, so again close. The Xel’naga actually had a rule on not interfering with the development of life, which Amon broke twice.

oh Amon was responsible for both of those? ;D
sounds like him
Tho my point still stands that the Xel’Naga should really know about the celestial beings from other universes if they inhabit the same ‘realm’ sort to speak.

Well ,I guess so.
But then again, I think all of Starcraft takes place on the “Koprulu Sector”, so it’s posible that Azeroth and the Titans are in the same universe, but a different “sector” of space? IDK

You mean the ones that stopped the Burning Legion invasion?
Malfurion and the wisps may have brought the deus ex machina, but outside of novels specific to night elf exploits (ie, before the events of any game,) a lot of the events of warcraft pretty much neglect night elf characters exist. (esp after the draenei were retconned and suit the fellowship of the light better)
The diplomatic ties for the ‘alliance’ pretty much puts all the burden of trade and consequences of disagreement for the night elves to brunt (because of proximity to the horde cities) while the eastern kingdoms otherwise reap the benefits and glory. Night elves get a really raw deal in how the game uses them, and it’s generally not for the “we have 10000 years of experience at hand” sort of trope you’d expect them to fill. They are an afterthought in pretty much every expansion.
If anything, they should have deviated for their own faction and made other allies than a kingdom on another continent that otherwise makes demands they don’t have much reason to follow.
I haven’t played WoW or any expansions, but I do know this…
Without the Night Elves taking down Archimonde on Mount Hyjal, things would have been way different, and possibly not in a good way. IIRC wasn’t it Illidan who “defeated” Sargeras? Just another point to consider.
I mean I know it wasn’t only the Night Elves who had a hand in it but they had quite the importance during the events of WC3. Before and after, well you have good points. They might be useless or unimportant during those times. But they “rewrote the elder scrolls” in their own way during WC3, and that’s why I brought it up.
no.
Illidan was a macguffin in that his body was going to be used as a conduit for Sargeras’ power for the invasion of azeroth, but that plot was thwarted and Illidan maged a portal to Argus, the homeworld of the burning legion, where the player champions managed to free the titan souls’ Sargeras had captured. Then they played their yu-gi-oh trap card to reverse the situation. Illidan just gets pithy quotes and sasses maiev with a “well I’m the jailor now”
Since wisps were the deciding factor for Archimonde, and given how Legion plays out, apparently the most utility the games have for night elves comes from when they are dead.
To reiterate, the issue isn’t that the night elves are “useless” but rather severely underutilized in their realization in WoW to the point they tend to be the vegeta of Azeroth and are scapegoats to show how ‘bad’ the plot/villain gets to be.
Earth exists in the SC universe. It’s just really really far away outside the Koprulu sector.

Isn’t it also like, have no clue over zerg and protoss at all?
No, Earth does in fact know that the zerg and protoss exist, it was one of the reasons they sent the UED fleet to the Koprulu sector in the first place. Of course that was just a expeditionary fleet, they keep the real big guns back home protecting Earth.

I see, it’s really weird how there’s pretty much absolutely very little much mention of it.

the only Realm existing outside the Blizzard Worlds is Overwatch. StarCraft, WarCraft and Diablo exist in the Overwatch Universe as Computer-games (Can be seen in the Overwatch Map Blizzard World). That’s also why D.VA is so exited to meet other StarCraft-Heroes.
The other Worlds can still exist in the same Universe.

Ah I see. I guess those are the perks of actually playing lol. I don’t remember if I read it on the wiki or something but I know I saw it somewhere that he was the one who “defeated” Sargeras, or imprisoned him or whatever but maybe that wasn’t the full truth.
What I was getting at is that the post I initially replied to, said that they were useless. Useless was the word used and from what I know from playing WC3, they’re far from useless during those events.
As for the events before and after WC3, I don’t know because I haven’t read anything about it, or played WoW at all to know the lore well enough.
