Apologies for the re-upload. KZitem's content ID system and DMCA as a whole continues to be the bane of my existence, deciding not to do its content match while it was private and waiting until the video was already out for 30 minutes to trigger demonetisation :). Anyway Mike thought that this race to world first was so epic, so close, the players on Echo and Liquid were playing their absolute best, he felt he just had to document the amazing journey.

Even as a mediocre raider in Vanilla and BC (pushing for server firsts but never quite getting one), the screams of joy over voice chat as we downed a boss we'd been working on for ages were just amazing. Definitely the fondest moments of my gaming history, the peak of excitement and camaraderie - decades later I can still feel it.

The caster teams for both races were so good how could you not enjoy yourself. I really appreciated how much less "NA vs EU" weird toxic stuff was going on in both channels. They were both quick to snuff it out and it made for a much more enjoyable race. Great content all around.

You know, listening to this - do you think Blizzard should implement a mandatory 9-hour (ish) lockout period per day during the first few week of a new raid tier being released, to out-right force a pause on the world first race? Just so the players have some time to doing things like eat and sleep and get some amount of exercise? Playing on this level is extremely impressive, but it also cannot be either healthy or even pleasant. 😮💨

I was lucky to be able to watch the kill live, and while I wanted Liquid to win, it was truly a wonderful showing from both teams as well as Blizzard in the tuning and design of the encounter. If this expansion was meant to be the transition from the mess we've been in with the prior expansions into this new era, then this race was the perfect way to close out this expansion.
@lordjaraxxus3864
6 ай бұрын
I think this is going to happen more often as Blizzard continues to hotfix during race to world first. The biggest killers were when bosses were changed massively on reset day, causing easy finishes. Now they can be changed quickly and before either team has progressed too far to one-shot it post-nerf.

Kinda takes me out of it seeing all the behind the scenes prep that goes into this....having out of raid raid leaders, strategy makers, and all the rest takes away the thing that makes it really feel special: Competition. Makes me think that's a big reason why Method is the clear #3 despite having an almost completely new raid team and if that is the secret sauce, I wish more guilds had the ability to do it.

@@Taalanos without loosing income? Most of the players have other jobs and take time off for the race xD Sure if you're a big sreamer like scripe, gingi and so on, that might be your job. But the rest, not so much. They do get paid from the race, but most of the sponsor money for the race is used to pay for the event itself. Location, hotels, travel, pay for casters, food and everything else. No team can afford to fully ay their whole roster from wow stuff alone.

Compared to other games i can say with confidence that WoW top end players are the best video gamers in the entire world and its not even close. Not any other game can compare to skill and coordination effort and stamina needed to succeed.

It's the best finish to the race for sure, but I think the WoW race as a whole is very boring until the last boss or two. It's mostly just splits to get over-geared and then they just steamroll most of the bosses in a couple hours. Blink and you miss it. Then the rest of the time is spent on 2 bosses. I rarely watch the whole thing anymore and just watch the very end.
