Morning party people! We're here once again at the lead camp in Germany. It's the method race to world first
Neuro Bar Palace. I almost forgot the name
I'm joined by the ever-lovely and incredibly buff-looking Lord God. Good morning, sir. How are you doing?
Good morning guys doing great at my food and I was gonna say I'm not good with great names either
I always forget the names of the race. I always name race by and boss a name
it's easier for me so what's what's easier narrow bar palace or queen answer
queen queen queen example I still don't remember the
red name I always forget it so I just say sarcasm
enough he was raised no do you remember the actual name no that's
aborus okay good one yeah as I said I just go by and boss name and that's
That's easier for me, my brain remembers that better, I'm not much into the lore, too many names at this point, with hundreds of raids I think by now so...
Oh that is totally fine, don't worry about it. You got some good sleep?
Yeah, I mean I'm used to sleep 9 hours a day and nowadays I'm doing like 8 and a half, so sometimes I would love to take a nap but time doesn't always allow me.
Oh I'll crash and burn and sleep for like 4 hours directly after the shift, I can probably sleep that way.
You're also gonna sleep?
I do, I had five hours.
How come?
8WC went very long yesterday, I was back at the hotel at 3.30.
Damn, if I was you, I would ask for a replacement shift to get swapped afternoon.
On one hand, I couldn't leave you by yourself here, I wouldn't do that to you.
And also, hey, if I can get an opportunity, you can't with me, you're all taken, you know?
We'll have some fun and also quite honestly, method in the morning is always the most deadly
when it comes to bosses, the last few days the pulse between day start and lunch have been
the best.
Yeah, I agree.
We had some great mornings and hopefully today we killed the boss.
I expect a kill from both us and Echo so we're probably gonna see three kills by
the end of Sunday.
Oh, so it's Monday actually.
It is, man.
Time flies when I'm here, I lose track of time.
Yep, you got two more days for reset.
Yeah.
Two more days until Liquid grabs official World 2nd after the World 1st.
We'll have some fun, we'll hang out, we'll chat about the boss, we'll see how a world
method is doing.
Good morning.
I see a Boundary in chat, Calibungal and John Blaze, Kroosaki, Mopta, Rage.
You know chat, how you doing? I get nine hours to sleep normally because I just love sleeping
For gains eight hours if you sleep clean, you know quality sleep is enough, but I just love sleeping
That's why I sleep nine normally not these days though
Honestly, that's that's super valid. I
I either wake up after like five to six hours or I sleep 14 hours straight. Oh damn
That's like six hours. Yeah
That's usually what my Fridays look like I got to bed at like 2 a.m. On first evening because I don't work Fridays
And I wake up Friday afternoon 5 p.m. Or something those good times
Are you doing chat?
Anyone raiding today anyone got their vault already done for the week actually have done a single thing for my vault dude I
have
My vault kind of decent right now. I mean
Slots enabled, but we'll see what I get on Wednesday last week. It was quite underwhelming, but
Yeah
Yeah, I haven't I haven't done more than three world quests since I got here on last Wednesday, so
I'm gonna need to run some zekvir for those
Level 8 delve vault slots and maybe a key or two
It's exactly the EC-Volt or EC-DEL or what?
The basic question mark difficulty is very quickly done
because it's literally just a boss and you outgear it very very hard if you're like heroic eye level.
So yeah, that's going to be fun but I also want to do the difficult one because that's an achievement
and they nerfed it so it's doable actually you know.
Yeah I tend to wake up always guys once or twice mid-slip if not more times depending on the beat
So when I say in nine hours, it's always waking up twice at least. Mmm
That's the negatives of eating and drinking so much
Yeah, I can imagine
Do wake up I do wake up quite a lot and I actually never know why sometimes it's my phone
Sometimes it's people outside
destroying cars
Oh, what do you leave a balloon?
Is it loud or sometimes?
There's a madman running around sometimes. It's actually quite funny.
Quite honestly though, it's way better than this weird procession of people.
I was living in southern Germany around here, like an hour and a half from here, for the better part of 10 years.
and there was one day in the year I think it was some sort of weird religious holiday
where at 3 a.m. in the morning there would be a procession of people like clad in cloaks
and everything completely dark walk through the streets chanting some weird some weird
versus and that's very creepy they had these these weird you know these these
spinny the like wooden things and if you spin them they make this this
rattling sound I can't I have no idea what they're what they're called but
wretched no that's the that's the tool that you think is it a ratchet yes it's
like it's one of these things that spins and makes a makes a ratcheting sound
it's like they were they were walking through the street chanting and like oh
yeah it's my nespresso crystal it's water yeah but yeah they would walk
through the streets at 3 a.m. chanting and spinning these ratchets every now
So that was like, shut the fuck up, I wanna sleep, sorry.
Yeah, where I live it's quiet kinda, so no problems with that, but unfortunately in Germany
AC is not very common, so kinda forced to sleep with the window open when it's warm.
Mmm, yeah. Yeah, I feel that.
Chad, are we seeing a kill today? What are we thinking?
I think it's possible.
And what people are saying is Echo going home?
Where is this rumour coming from?
Obviously, he's gonna kill the boss first and then go home.
Like three people have been saying it.
Did Echo go home? I don't get it.
Echo didn't kill. Echo is back in the studio today.
Yeah, exactly. They're just gonna kill it when they wake up probably.
Since they were at 1% or something.
So, with fresh sleep, you would really need to draw to not get it down relatively quick.
Do you know how long they went yesterday?
Yeah around I think two so pretty long down
But they were playing for 18 hours at least on or 19. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they they went really hard
I don't I don't think I expect them to start until like 10 11
They value sleep quite a lot
Well, I would say yeah, they would stop at well
They're not in a crazy amount of rush anymore, I guess.
Yeah.
Unless we suddenly get the sub 5% but...
Putting on the pressure, I like it.
Yeah.
So yeah, Raiders are waking up on our end.
We can already see a good chunk of players in the raid.
So I'm pretty sure we're getting started in just a few minutes.
It's past 10.
And that's about a solid point to start at the rate for the day. I think the the
big change for yesterday, at least yesterday, lunchtime roughly was
faithy being subbed in. Yeah. We swapped out the second Warlock and brought in
another hunter. For a more single target DPS. Which is fair I think a second
Warlock doesn't provide much. I don't think many guilds run two Warlocks.
I'm a little bit mistaken, but I think there was only one warlock for Liquid and Echo also using one
So it doesn't make sense if you want to have more single target
especially since the boss is mostly about burning down that
HP before he does she does the circle at the end. Yeah. Yeah, exactly
Do you see that Echo started splitting bloodlust?
Yeah, I saw that
For like three classes they do it on three people and then makes sense
Especially if you have a spy master that you want to have a blowlust not on on pull
So you have it when you have a spy master fully stacked up. Yeah
And you also get to send it during the last really difficult ad phase in the MP3
Yeah, some classes benefit a different point with blowlust
And as I said, for example, Bumkin, if he has Pie Master and then you're very strong on
Cleave, having Bloodlust on that 6 adds part, it's massive.
And yeah, Mino and having it on the opener is not really the best compared to that.
And I bet other classes are the same, you know, some benefit more on the opener, some
later.
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, it allows Echo to push down the boss HP considerably in the first phase.
I was actually talking to Cana in the break about it like two days ago, that it might be a possibility and he didn't outright dismiss it, it was more of a, it would be possible but you'd have to basically delay every poll by an extra like three or four minutes while you wait for the sated buff to start running out so you actually get the bloodlust for the other people in the last phase and it would be tedious as well.
And that's what we're seeing with Echo.
That's because they're committing to the kill right there.
At 1% we have a best pull being 17.
So realistically there needs to be another like at least half a day of progression,
but Echo could kill any pull at this point.
Yeah, now it's definitely worth it sending that much for every single pull.
So not surprised at all.
I don't think it's something Method will fall back to.
I mean with the vents but probably not, we also have a higher high level so that can a bit make up for it.
Do we know what I level liquid was that when we...
625.2 I think.
Method is 625.5 and echo is 0.5 behind us.
Nice. All right.
All right, all right, all right.
Let's see. I think we're moving into the race.
Over the tree.
Ah, there we go. That's the right one.
That's an Alliance friend.
I love Alliance more than Horde.
What?
Yeah, look at the area. It's so beautiful.
It's all right.
It's all right, I guess.
Guilds can't really make a second mythic group.
I mean, you can but that is a different lockout
You're on different logout basically for the entire time so
For the full week and you can't play together then
Yep
Mythic splits definitely not very feasible during the world first race
I mean if you have a class that doesn't get brought and then you want to get up at the very end of the week
And the first bosses are easy, you can maybe do the world first three or something but
It didn't end up happening so
Yeah
definitely an option alright Dan is in the raid I think we have all 20 players
in the raid last few checks last few ready checks and of course any strategy
talk that was adjusted overnight is there usually a lot that gets adjusted
and updated and changed overnight or it's really the dance from the moment
right like right now we have basically one kill and one other kill that is at sub 1% and I mean
also method has had like pretty long pulse so up to 17% so you're at the point where recently much
changing or going on you know you really don't need any changes you just need to execute and play
good and boss will die yeah radars are split in between actually no all the radars are
currently at the venue here there are rooms guys we are the lead camp check it
out there is a commanding chat they have amazing rooms that you can come here
with your friends to do some LAN parties and yeah that's that's where the
raiders are sleeping it's very very nice to not have them go like 30 minutes
walk or needing Uber every day I think only Kina is in the hotel right now
but we have legit like 15 people on site so I didn't go work out because I had
an early shift today so I'll probably go after after the shift I go eat and then
pack and probably go work out because tomorrow I'm going to go back home guys
so this is my last shift the last shift yeah I've been here for two weeks
nice yeah I have to go I mean we're probably ending it today hopefully
thing has crossed but I need to go back home because no one can keep my
girlfriend's dog I guess also my dog now because I'm leaving with her and because
she has a knee problem she like she got a knee surgery and I have to walk him and
stuff her friend has to do something I think she needs to go holiday or
something and yeah you can no longer keep him yeah very nice dog best dog
ever I've never seen a dog that is so polite and never barks never bothers
anyone oh it's well well well we got just got to make sure the boss it dies
before you leave right so we're into the first pull of the day it's Queen
answer egg once again best pull for method yesterday 17.5 of course we
want to make that a much lower number onwards into P1 the first
bounces are out already, where play debate is quite alright, a little bit of dodging going on,
but overall, his first face, very very clean by that point. Very easy as well to be fair. At this
point we've had 400 pulls in phase one and most players have been locked in, I mean obviously
when you play so many hours you're gonna end up making some mistakes here from time to time
and they're pretty deadly you know, a mistake here means you're dead and the rate can
potentially why but yeah.
Morgan Deepchase high train yeah we own the record 20 did you hear yeah?
Level 20 high train. The all-time method the channel record.
That's pretty crazy actually.
Yeah and when it's progression time guys the longer it goes the worse gains get let's say
when I used to play and there were longer tiers especially so something like
Sarkareth again and Torus. Aperus. Aperus oh my god guys I'm not lying when I say
that I forget the red names. It was zero games lost because there was no
Royquik and the lasted like five six days but something like Sepulcher I
lost like two three kilos and then obviously in like two three weeks I
gained it back since Sepulcher was like including a Royquik was like a
a month of progression and playing 16 hours a day.
Yeah, Sapucco was...
Hardest rate ever, I've been from Los Argueras.
Yeah.
I wish I could have rated Alondros, that was good times.
But for now, we're through the first phase,
we're heading into the interim mission
and of course this is the draw-ins
and poison weights that need to be dodged.
For the moment.
That's the point.
That could be better, but okay.
We would love to get the boss down to at least 61% point something, but you can still get
the chunk of HP down after the intermission is over because the shield goes away and then
you have a bit of time to actually DPS her.
Yeah, it's looking good damage wise, at least they were ahead of that white line for a
good chunk there.
They're too damn fortunate, Remy and Fedja, I believe.
they're losing on the race yeah this is unfortunate also we had spam dying early so this is
gonna go over unlucky well quick reset on the boss that's totally fine first pull of the day
they're warming up right so how how is that actually get out of bed get breakfast and
immediately into the raid i mean barely breakfast most of them i don't think are eating much they
they maybe drink coffee and slice of bread and that's it yeah yeah
holy for breakfast I mean it works but you know it's a lot of energy I guess
you can do the hydration drink right yeah yeah so we saw Billy walking past
the door shaking his shaker oh he's just sending it yeah he is absolutely
sending it so very very curious how he's gonna perform today but I mean most
people do coffee like in the morning right so that's fair I mean I just water
or ice tea but yeah we we castles are in a hotel that is not too close but not
too far away either normally we just get ubers or I take electronic scooter I
love riding those but it was raining so I went with the Uber yeah we got on the
Uber and it started raining like crazy. We're like, yeah. Yeah,
logo is definitely not taking the scooter today. Yeah, today
was not the day. This is a this is a pretty nice town. We
were walking back with Mr GM and Liam and crystals
yesterday. And it was very shows and they're a very nice
walk back to the hotel. I don't like this long walk. But
I've done it a few times and I mean gamers obviously
normally are not the most healthy but
The thing is with the race, you know, you don't really have much time to eat either
You get like two breaks to eat and then it's only like snacks and stuff
even for me when I was playing I would keep it healthy, but
It was hard to get my calories and at some point my appetite just goes lower and lower over time
Yeah, I mean it's more like my appetite goes lower because I'm used to eat
4 to 5k calories daily and if I don't move and I don't have time to eat then I end up eating like
3000 or something
Yeah, I feel like I feel like that would actually be the hardest part for me
With the with the entire kind of like workout life
The gym life so to say just getting in the calories because I'm not someone who can eat a lot
Yeah, I don't know, for me through this sibling and getting bigger so that it goes higher, I managed, I was never a big eater let's say, but I ended up being able to do it obviously.
You can also learn ways to get your food down so you find what really digest well or you do foods with higher calories and low density so you don't get too full depending on the video.
video there are ways but obviously eating so much I mean it's a it's a
challenge you know it takes a lot of effort and motivation yeah I can imagine
yeah I used to do mass gainer shakes last few years and previous box I would do
like in my breakfast I would mix fruits, oats, protein powder I would do my
own peanut butter and do like a one thousand calorie shake but these days
my appetite is higher because I mean I don't know I competed in April and my
appetite was so high in that period and now I can still manage to eat without
doing mass shakes maybe towards the end of my bulking face I will use them
again. It sounds like it's a way to do it. There are ways to eat more than you
think you know people are sometimes either lazy or not motivated enough you
know yeah or they just have no idea what the good the right foods are and what
that's what fitness coaches are for guys I'm also a fitness coach so you need
it up log what's your what's your Twitter what's your business I mean
people can find on social media that are all on my twitch but also my fitness
business website you can find it on my
preach as well guys shapeshift fitness
dot com
shapeshift is actually such a good name
dude yeah it fits because I've always
played druid yeah and I mean my friend
came up with his name I'm like damn you
nailed it bro yeah that's really good I
love that that is awesome all right
once again intermission this is a
pretty active part we have a first
death from nurse but yeah I believe we
We have a holy combat dress up.
And two more deaths and it's probably wiping it up.
Hunter plus not having a good day are warlocks and hunters on the first two bullets.
Something feels wrong.
But that's alright.
Take a pull of the day.
We get warmed up slowly but surely.
Usually I'm a big fan of starting to read out copypastas while casting.
I'm also a big memeber, I love copypasta. As a viewer, I see a copypasta, I write it straight away, you know.
Do you know the THG copypasta? You know THG from Liquid?
I do, I do know.
Guys, somebody has it.
There are so many.
And THG did the play that got Liquid over first. I mean, that would win regardless to be fair.
The legit full day.
That was the sick gateway.
Yeah, they're like a day and a half ahead, but since THG did this play, I opened the MacStream,
stream had all these faces being spammed all the the THD the ASCII face
whenever I see it I just start spamming it I'm gonna get timed out for it
often have you seen the variations of it oh no no so there's there's the THD
face and there's THD with a with a skater cap and then there's THD with a
the bird in his head
come on guys once
all the bot time you out
i absolutely love it
no txt for us
it's good times
i mean if people post uh...
discussing stuff then uh... yeah but txt phase
that's a good one there it is
it didn't get timed out i think or
uh...
oh
face mods
face the mods absolutely
THG is a legend, guys.
And I wonder, how did somebody even make that face?
Is that a AI or?
I mean, that requires some talent.
I'm pretty sure there's ASCII,
picture creators online or something.
I have no idea, though.
It's so precise, though.
You can tell it's THG, you know.
Yeah, we're gonna finish the race today,
potentially, I would say,
there's like a 70% chance we kill it today.
And yeah.
Yes, I think it's one good day of Prague that Method needs to kill this.
And that might be today, could be tomorrow, but we're definitely hoping for a kill today.
I mean, TSHG won the Grades for Liquid.
I mean, that's a big statement.
Liquid was so far ahead of the rest, like it wasn't even close.
That would win regardless, but definitely TSHG did some amazing play
on that clutch moment by taking the essence and then saving the radio.
Yeah, I mean, on that pull, on that pull he saved it.
I think generally Liquid would have killed it a few pulls later anyway, if he hadn't.
But even if Liquid went to sleep, they would come back fresh and kill it straight away.
You know, they were just this much better this year.
It was one of those tears that you can see a guild being better from start to end.
Maybe other guilds will catch up, maybe, maybe, but then it never happens.
And that's what we saw this year, right?
Nobody ever could up to Liquid at any moment, basically.
Yeah, I think there was a few polls where Echo pulled ahead, just ever so slightly,
but Liquid took their lead back immediately.
Yeah, I wonder where I sleep, I think,
and then Liquid would happen after like one hour they were in front again.
But if we just look at overall progression, I think Liquid was just really good this year.
Another death, unfortunately, from Monkey going down on a red Paladin.
We do have a rest, yeah, we do have a rest, so...
Yep, every one alive once again.
Everything taken care of, at least for the moment.
Next set of bounces, these are the four bounces.
The last ones off the face before we go into the intermission and burn down the shield.
And the web blade is baited.
So that's a mouthful.
Everything is done nicely, 50m aiming that dream breath away so he has the hot on himself
can use that engulf to top the entire raid and in an instant they have it, big HPS coming
through from the preservation evoker and the first draw in is coming in.
They need to get ahead of this white line and now you can see the damage pumping in
slowly but surely that blue mark moves lower and lower.
The boss is on 62.8, not ideal but also not terrible.
It's in between, you know, you want to get it ideally to like 62.0 at the start of this phase and then you can get it down to 61.5.
Obviously, a simple is going to 61, but that's like really the best, best situation.
You don't really need that, you could see Ligrid had like 5 seconds left on the timer to attack the boss potentially even more so...
Yeah, looking pretty solid.
He's done everyone alive and we're moving to the ends.
Start of P2, remember how this goes because you have a pocket to take care of.
Every now and then someone needs to walk into it, gets a debuff, needs to get dispelled.
Of course, you swap groups, you get teleported to the other side of the room.
Very easy phase to be honest. You just have to go in the portal to not have it explode
when you get a debuff and just dodge orbs. Relatively easy.
I think also this first platform is quite easy, the only thing to look out for is obviously the portal and then the frontal from the head.
Someone heal the DK, please heal the DK.
And obviously the grip, you know, you don't want to stack with other players or you're gonna get most likely killed.
Indeed, but so far it looks very clean at some point.
We did have Bloodlust assigned for the second platform of this phase during progression.
And that by now of course has been changed up if Bloodlust is available in the last phase
where we really need it.
You get a wall or gateway up the bridge so you can get to these adds immediately because
there's some big shields on these and you need to destroy them and kill them off before
the cast finishes otherwise, well, instant wipe.
That's kind of all there is to it.
In between again of course the drawings, you see the portal in the back is already
glowing red.
If you do not grab that portal, the raid blows up as well, so that's just generally whatever
happens if you mess up in this fight, the raid blows up, moving further up the platform
and of course number three, this is a repeat of the first add that kicked us to the first
platform in the first place, lots of firsts and you just need to make sure you kill
that off, dodge the orbs and take care of the portal and then you'll be booted
over to the last platform of the fight where P3 is going to happen. Quite honestly, I feel
like a lot of people have seen that in their own raid on normal and heroic. This is very,
very similar. Yeah, and I feel like this third platform is also pretty easy. Once you get through
this second one with everyone alive, you really need to mess it up badly to get some devs in
that part. So even the first part of phase three, very, very chill, you put the adds on
the edge you put a ring of piece you clip them down and you know bait on the edges very
very simple but then the longer this phase goes the more hectic it gets and yeah it ramps
up very very fast I would say.
It's a really good phase I like it a lot.
I really like it as well it's very intense I love watching it as a viewer but as a
ranged class I don't know how funny it would be because we didn't have much time
to cast any ability.
Yeah, you can see these hatchlings those spawn from the tank the
The tanks will swap once these spawn and of course Nate putting down the ring of peace
The raid absolutely blasting those ads trying to cleave the boss as much as possible the queen now hitting 50 50 percent more health
We need to do in this third phase the first few acolytes come in once again
and once again, of course
You gotta take care of these acolytes. They break the shields, otherwise they keep casting, you can't interrupt them, and it can end up very deadly.
Of course, once those acolytes are dead, they leave their souls behind, you need to pick those up and get them to the portal, and oh my god, there is no way.
Crystallize managed to save that at the cost of his own life, but that was such a clutch move.
You can switch POV to somebody alive.
FTM.
Probably Crystal is gonna get rest as we still have one combat rest.
I believe Fatie also went down, so one less DPS, which is obviously gonna influence the
damage we get on those shields when they spawn the middle adds.
It's gonna be hectic, but I think we can still get through that part and yeah, especially
with Bloodlust, maybe we commit to Bloodlust earlier just to get through that part
and make some better progress.
Maybe the Shackles are coming in as well.
This is one of the biggest hits of damage in this phase.
The healers really need to be on top of their game to keep the raid alive in the situation,
but it's looking good.
Blades storm man is going to town on all the adds and all the AoE that is to be done here.
You can see the Acolytes, they're free casting, there's a mist interrupt, more damage on the raid,
but the healers are keeping them alive too.
Dead at the moment still, actually maybe a third one on top of that as one of the warriors falls.
The hunters really looking rough in the situation as the next set of orbs comes in
You need to grab the souls make sure you carry them into the portal. I don't think that is possible
There it is
Good pull into pay three, but that fell apart very quickly. It wasn't very clean to be honest
We had a couple of deaths in the start of the phase, but feel like
There is some people there are some people for getting essences and not getting picked up
And then you know we could see here crystal had to go save the raid
I'm not sure if it was his essence and he had to just do a clutch play to save the raid towards the end
But I feel like essence management can be a lot better without like panicking and stuff
I mean other kids have had many wipes with so it's not something that you can do perfect straight away
But feel like having 400 pulls in we need to get more consistent on that sub 15% part, right?
Yeah, the positioning of the Essences especially because no player can pick up an Essence twice after going through the portal with it, so you basically need every single person in the raid to take care of one.
And the better you position them the less hectic the fight becomes and I think that is a very very valuable piece of strategic execution to keep that Phase 3 as chill as possible for the raiders.
We can see FTM didn't have a flask on, I think, on this pool and now it's just using it.
That's not a bad thing. Maybe we're gonna go into it more pumped now.
No, the real pool start.
Yeah, Echo already delayed, so they're gonna start late.
I feel like being at 1% once you get enough sleep probably gonna be a very quick kill.
So, just being real, you know, if you're at 1% you get enough sleep, it should be a two shot normally.
Hopefully not, and we can catch and get the world second.
I mean, we would have to play very well for that.
I think we would need to get a sub 10% straight away now and then, you know, make it a race for that second spot.
We'll just kill it.
no we don't need we don't need 10% poles or 5% poles we just go from 17 straight to
that yeah no worries dude no it's gonna be it's gonna be fun so I saw the
question in chat wasn't echo wasn't the method a horde guilt and well yes they
were they are but nowadays thanks to blizzard it doesn't matter anymore you
can be in a guild with players from all factions.
If anything, the original method was Alliance guys, 20 years ago.
Yeah, it was Alliance up until Pandaria they went Horde, yeah, because of the
ratios, but it was Alliance until Dragon Soul and then they went Horde before
Pandaria. So that's actually when I joined guys. I said always I love
alliance more the moment I joined method they swapped to Horde timing that is so
unlucky and you've been raiding for a long time yeah it's been raiding itself
like 14 years I think and method I joined 11 years ago so man some great
moments during the years. I played the troll guys but searching was so peaceful. As Alliance
I was at Worgen. Worgen druid? Yeah. For the double shapeshift I like it. But hey, back
into the poll we go. Do you want, we definitely need to win Max boss damage here a little
bit because... Yeah definitely 1% off what we would want to have but I think when
When you get close to a kill, you get like this inner energy and aura that makes you
push buttons extra hard, it's always happened.
Yeah, for extra big damage, you'd love to see that.
Really pumping?
Yeah, Liquid gave up guys, Streamer is dead, they're just done, you know, we'll just
put the extra number there on the leaderboard and we'll just leave it there, so when
else can kill it for us?
My first war first was Leishan, I didn't do Leishan itself because my connection died
for two days I did the whole progress but I did every single war first in Toronto Thunder
and then I killed Leishan two days again after the actual war first on reset because I had
done the whole progress then yeah it had an internet two days gone and yeah that's
what it is.
I was kind of sad at the time but you know I killed Graden which was also the
other boss afterwards.
You can see I'm on every single turn of thunder video pretty much.
Then I did Blackhand, Blackhawk Foundry, because I agreed for Siege of Alggrimmar.
I didn't play the game back then, I was playing League of Legends.
You and me both buddy, you and me both.
Played League?
Dude I played so much League.
Same, I played it so much for like two years.
I was very hard committed to League from the end of Lich King roughly.
Season one.
Dude, I started League before season one.
Damn.
I officially started.
I was always balanced.
I started in season three and I stopped at the end of season four.
But I did get really high ranked though.
In like a year and a half I was playing a lot.
Then I just played season ten during Corona a bit.
Yeah.
I kept playing long enough, I stopped properly playing like season 7, season 8
when I really like hard committed back to World of Warcraft
because I started mythic raiding with how I set it up.
But basically yeah, I just kept playing it on the side every now and then.
I've done a lot of League casts in the last few years.
Yeah, League is nice, I mean I love it, but it's a very frustrating game.
One of those games that I actually could feel some sort of addiction
Plus it was not good for the mental honestly
Oh no, it wasn't, absolutely not
Ex-linguistics, no, bodybuilders don't stop creating before getting on stage
Unless you need to make a weight cap and you wanna lose that one kilo of water that it gives you
So that's the only case if you're in a category and you can't make the weight cap
Then you might pull it off like a week before
What is creatinine?
It's a supplement basically it adds
intracellular water into your muscle and
it increases your performance and endurance
it's very safe the most researched
supplement for fitness and sports in
general and yeah it helps you know save
other effects you know it's one of those
supplements that I actually feel like
they're not trying to scam you when it
to actual progress because supplements are very good for health you know there
are some that are extremely good for health, longevity you know but when people
say oh this supplement is gonna get you huge I mean no supplement gets you huge
creating those can help you with workouts and stuff. Interesting that's
definitely that's definitely the part about bodybuilding that I understand the
very least like I have a good idea about muscle groups and how working out affects the muscle
and stuff like that right but once it comes to nutrients, supplements and all that other stuff
I'm just checked out I have no clue what's going on. The more advanced the more research and
knowledge it requires to do things proper but obviously for the basics you don't need any
crazy min maxi and clearly you just put it in your protein shake or you know in
your pre-workout and you're not gonna taste anything I mean I do it creating
dry scoop I just put like a scoop and then I just down it with water
same with glutamine okay we got a we got to talk about that one because I
remember phase three by the way yeah yeah we're gonna talk about that one
after phase three because I have no idea what glutamine is so first let's
Let's see the queen 55% already as she comes off her strand and starts fighting the raiders.
First set of adds, Nate has that under control ring of peace, it is beautifully placed and
in comes the late storm man taking care of all the nasty spiders.
No problem whatsoever, beautiful burst here and the queen losing 5% HP in the process.
First set of acolytes, of course you got to burn down the shields here, the first
of cast will come through the healers need to heal through that but that is
totally fine because there's not too much damage coming in on the raid during
this time last to Echolite is up still but will be taking care of you can see
all the damage flying its way while the healers keep everyone alive so far so
good but of course this is the chill the easy phase of the last part of this
fight and after the portal gotta spread out and don't detonate your
group members. Once again we reset the entire thing, bait webblades and after we
go to the side of the platform we get the next spiderlings in just a few
moments. Yeah we can see how efficient the group is at the cleaving down every
ad. We first bring the boss on the edge, spawn the small adds, all the ray
cleaves them down so the mid max boss damage. Then when the ad spawn in the
middle or the shackles we move the boss on top and each time a shield
breaks you move the boss on to the next ad. As we can see now first
at shield breaks, go on to the next and keep cleaving down. We just want to min-max the boss
damage as much as we can. As obviously it's a pretty tight enrage check. You see now the
cleaving down shackles, then going into the next set. That's like standard min-maxing for
warfors skills. Yeah, this is a bit spicy in terms of the rates HP, but the healers have
everything under control. And now that the last few acolytes are falling and the shackles
are dealt with the damage intake decreases dramatically so here the healers have time
to top everyone up just before the next wave the next portals come in the acolytes are down
in few moments you gotta grab the souls otherwise they detonate and you gotta make it over to the
bottle one more soul on the floor here and it through the bottle we go big spread afterwards
everyone running for the hills and everything done nicely one death we do have a better
in 45 seconds we do have the next set of shackles coming through. One of them spawned on the far corner here,
a little spread out not grouped with the other two. I'm not quite sure if that was intentional,
but a method is taking care of it. The next adds are coming in as well, nicely positioned.
The ring of peace is down and the Raiders and the Bladestorm man are once again taking care of it
without too many issues. Webblades are clean and the next set of Acolytes and Logo,
Now it's starting to get spicy.
Yeah, as a Blowlas spring pop.
And get it.
Missing Coulter's damage is Pie Master and Forty Stacks,
and Boomkin being so good on Clip, probably gonna affect this wave.
Oh, two deaths.
Yeah.
We had the...
That's the standard damage from the Asks exploding.
I feel like we're...
Bit falling behind with healing, but...
It's just the detonation from...
Can she get a new best, by the way, guys?
We have a rest up.
As are going down, we have Blowlas.
Definitely potential for a new best, which is nice to see.
One battle res the acolytes are still standing two more need to fall there
They go the portal is coming in in just a second and the question is now
It's gonna be all the essences dealt with can we make it happen?
Come but rest up not being sent and hope we have enough people to take every essence else
We just gonna explode that blades. That's a nasty overlap with the blades and the portal and we detonate
unfortunate but new best pull for method 15.66% beautifully done and you can
really tell once you get past that one detonation that one big you just blast
boss and you're done yeah if we had gone through the portal with essences even
with that people this would have been a sub 10% pull I would say even 8 to 9
potentially then obviously comes down to having a perfectly clean pool which
which is what the boss requires to kill it.
So, yeah, definitely good progress and expect to see a sub 10% in a few hours at most, but ideally next pool.
We think about the last few days in the morning. Quite honestly it always was back to back to back,
really good pulls of not even new personal bests every single time.
So, method definitely one of those skills. They wake up, they game, that's when they're the best.
Yeah, getting a sleep always helps. It also depends from each player's endurance.
I'm kind of person that can play for like 24 hours and I don't lose focus.
But there are people that really struggle when they're tired and asleep.
And that's fine. I mean each person has different bodies, different tolerance to not sleep, different endurance.
And yeah, I mean I can definitely say that the average performance of a raid is always better when you're fresh
and you get some hours of sleep so yeah now I'm definitely I'm definitely one
of those guys that like if I'm having a good day I can blast 14 16 hours straight
without losing too much performance but some other days especially when I
haven't sleep perfect slept perfectly etc. is like four or five hours straight
then I need a break and then I can go for another five you know it's strange
Because I love sleeping and I'm not a morning person either, but
When it comes to like being plain consistent, I don't really have much of a difference between sleeping a lot or not sleeping much
So that's a good quality to have as a world first trader. I think yeah, definitely
Can you speak about the personal defensive rotation is in phase three I
Mean that depends on which person gets which ability and if you need an external or some parts of the fire
But you generally want to always have your personal on the ads that have a shield, you know
The ones that come from the middle because that's a moment where you know
They just keep keep doing away on the raid and very deadly part of the fight
Yeah, the biggest the biggest hits of damage in the last phase are
The shackles by far that's the most damage
I think the portal picking up the soul and going through the portal is a massive amount of damage as well
and especially one of those moments where the healers don't necessarily have the capacity to heal everyone to the fullest potential because they're moving themselves as well.
So that's another good spot for personals I would assume.
But generally, I mean, it's all planned out. It's all assigned. Everyone knows where to pop what because the healer needed at those positions.
There's health pots, there's health stones assigned as well.
And sometimes you can just call an external if something gets out of hand.
Obviously you just need to adapt to the situation because you have always something planned.
But when it comes to being a good raider, it's also adapting to a situation that, you know,
it's unplanned into the raid and you just got to be good at it.
Yeah. So yeah. Solid new best pole 15.6 we shaved off another 2% making moves
396 poles. This post takes a lot of poles actually, you know that I'm thinking about it.
Yeah. I did not expect this to go this long. I mean I think this is the third hardest raid in
recent times. I mean if we look at Tombo Sargeras and Sebuhrker being the first two,
then I think this comes third place. I think this is also harder than Amit Rasil. I can
I can remember that name, I don't have to say...
Nice, nice!
Definitely very, very hard raid, and all the guilds are obviously struggling to finish it,
and for guilds that are not fully hardcore and, you know, they don't play professionally, let's say...
This is gonna be almost impossible.
My guild got to brints as yes, and I was like, damn, this boss is very, very hard, you know?
Yeah.
But it requires a lot of practice, then you get used to abilities and stuff.
You enjoyed it though?
Yeah, Princess, not as much as a blue twister, because I don't know...
As less, as less every year.
Anything anyone thought you on Princess, crazy.
Yeah, it's pretty wild.
Do you think of Crucible of Storms as a mini-tier or do you...
No, Crucible of Storms was a hard boss, but the thing is,
With method we have a very strange situation there
We had MDI happening at the same time so we didn't have five of our main raiders for like a week
Yes, go went on holiday. I said we went to his sister wedding or something
There were other people like going vacations or doing random stuff. We got the boss to like 2%
Like three days before the actual kill then people started trolling when going holiday
We did some comp swaps which were not smart because you don't you don't do comp swaps when you're at 2%
But then even the best rate leaders in the world in that case was scribe they can make mistakes guys scribe
I mean is a legit insane rate leader super smart in same tactician, but I think
We ended up going with like nine warlocks at some point when we had the boss at 2% with five warlocks
And obviously you're gonna have to progress the boss with new people in that case and didn't end up being in the right choice
But you know even the best guys sometimes can
Make a wrong decision when it comes to this stuff. Yeah, and I mean we can see which tribes history is made
Mostly right decisions and yeah
to be fair
Method was running a wild company. It was a nine. Yeah, I'm not all of us. Yes
To be fair, pieces came in with like what, eight elemental shams or something?
Seven elemental, yeah. We had like nine warlocks, two or three elemental, bunking, shadow brist and the H I think for the damage buff.
Rogue was in there as well. That was the tier...
No, I don't think so. Perfecto was playing Olivia, I think, shadow brist. Or maybe there was a rogue.
There was this meme about Olivia because...
You had the race flag that you would plant and shadow step to the entire time?
Yeah, but I don't know why we were playing shadow brits, perfect to shadow brits for a while.
I mean, I remember this because a meme was created during that boss.
He did something like some weird movement and I said, oh, yeah, he used this meme for so long, yeah.
One more for the for the logger meme list, I love it.
Actually yesterday I was watching a Echo Stream at one and they were just saying all the memes that they know from me over the years
one of them was
On a Argus farm. I was getting rank one on logs and then I say please heal me please heal me
And they weren't healing me and then I died and I go like this healer sucks
But and then I said sucks, you know what yeah, and they just kept spamming it on their cons and like 1 30 a.m
400 pulls into the boss and I was like wait what a time to join the stream
So much about echo was really enjoying
Saying all the memes that you know from you over the years. I was like, well, I guess at least I'm making them laugh
You know, that's great. Oh, that's lovely
Definitely something that you need if you're that deep into the day
I mean you have lost and you're playing at 3 a.m.
after 5-6 weeks of playing non-stop like crazy preps you know at some point
just let it go and you know enjoy. Embrace the madness. Embrace the madness
and embrace the memes as well you know. Yeah, must feel good.
And Nia Lothar is another tier where there was a massive gap like this and those are the two that I can really I mean
Sanctum of Domination actually, Echo was as dominant but the tier was easier and the moment
you went into week two you would have such a big powerspike with the gems, do you remember
the gems?
No.
There were like three gems, Shadow, Blood and Frost and second week everyone would
have those Shadow gems and it would be like 5% powerspike on all the raids so it made
the raid a joke basically but Sanctum of Domination...
Unless you were unlucky it didn't get them.
the center of the nation was a massive stomp echo uh... totally dominated the
same extent as uh...
this year it was just an easier rate so you didn't see them the massive gap
jayna was big gap as well
yes i think i think jayna and sovannas are kind of the the best example of
echo or other uh... or uh... back then
pulling out some
crazy crazy performance
like finding the extra 5% damage on Sylvanas and the burn strat on Jaina
those were incredible, quite honestly, and good days man
good days, good days
the first years live streaming the race
I think actually Nia Lothar was the last time we saw each other
could be, yeah, and Nia Lothar
I mean, it's not that here I remember of in a good way because
We lost badly and on top of that, you know, it was the,
I didn't like the raid itself.
I know you guys then chat like an Iolota.
I don't think it was great for me.
But the fact that Liquid came up
with outside raid leader analysts,
it was so new back in the days.
We were like, damn, they really took it one step further,
you know?
And since then it became the meta.
Yeah.
I enjoyed an Iolota.
Had some good bosses.
I actually progressed the entire raid twice, because after finishing the initial proc, I think I finished it like Word Rank 140 or something.
I took a step back and joined the guild that was raiding way less at different times, so I had more time.
And I think we started prog on run. I started prog on run den there with them
Oh, yeah, I just did the last few bosses again, which was really really fun
Quite honestly, so that was actually now that I think of it
Yeah
I think you should mention in unit, but who not was easier than KJ guys as I mentioned earlier
We just had like a messy situation with the guild back then. That's why it didn't die that fast and we use more pools and
Anticipated yeah, but I also think
Unad comes pretty close in terms of difficulty to Kil'jaeden, maybe not initial pre-nerve kill Jaeden, but the actual playable boss.
I mean, it was hard. I would probably put Unad, let me think, hardest bosses. I mean, KJ is at the top for sure.
KJ, Halondros is up there.
I mean Jailer itself is probably harder before the nerfs Alondros was just a massive surprise
because I don't think we've ever seen a boss in the middle of a raid being this hard.
Normally it's like either the last or the penultimate boss but Alondros was like okay
this is the sixth boss of the raid and for seventh and it's taking 300 350 volts
for every guild.
I think the Alondros copypasta is still my favorite.
Which was it?
Can't remember
The big enemy crap with the Chinese in between?
Oh yeah!
I remember
I was so good dude, I love that
I remember I was in studio and casting four pieces
I got to cast pieces, Halondra's first kill
Oh that's nice
That was sick, took like 360 pulls or something
Yeah, even in Aikawa I did it back then
It took like 320 pulls or something, it was crazy
crazy and people thinking that Liquid won and now there is no chance for other
guilds or Echoes to get chopped that's not true I mean they're definitely the
best guild currently but yeah you know there is time like you have like five
six months till next year you have enough time to make adjustments improve
get new players yeah you know and I mean I'm hoping Matt also does the
same obviously to get the rage stronger you need like amazing players
and we do have amazing players but you know I feel like this year this is
In my personal opinion, we really caught up when it comes to tactics, analysts, and overall prep.
We just need to get those two or three extra players to really match up with the level of Liquid.
And I mean, Ekko is still slightly ahead, but...
Yeah.
And also, this is not a new situation. This is not the first time Liquid has won.
It's not the first time Liquid has won this Dominant.
Yeah, it's not the first time. I mean, there's been times Liquid lost, and then they came back.
You know, the race is always in back and forth.
As it should be. This is why the race to world first has become so incredibly entertaining, right?
I think Amirisil was a little bit of a specialty because it was so damn close between Echo and Liquid.
Yeah.
But generally it's just so much fun. It's so much fun nowadays because it's so competitive.
By the way guys, there is one person kind of restocking Scribe, but I can tell you I've been with Scribe for a long time
and you can argue that his vibes are not as enthusiastic as Max, but Scribe is an insane Red Leader
and is a massive reason for previous Metal success and now Echo.
So, you know, if you think he's not a great red leader or he doesn't do an amazing job, you're just clueless.
I mean, he's the resume speaks, right? He's got like 10 words first and pretty much half of the words first in the last, like, six, eight years or whatever in the game.
You don't get to the level if you're not an insane red leader and a smart person, you know?
If you consider that Scribe back in the day was playing as well while rate leading before outside rating became a thing
Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, but the thing is it was common that back then you would play
While rate leading right and I have to say this Scribe. I mean as a real leader leader is also an insane player used to be but
During progression it was one that wouldn't really push much the damage
Unless it was really needed like for example, you remember star ogre
In night hold
The moment we really needed to push damage
It was like, okay somebody has to take over red leading when I do surrender to madness
And then he showed that he was actually matching beacon the shadow piece damage
So I was like, Dan, Scribe actually has it as a player too
But it's just never like a
Prioritizing it unless we actually need the damage, you know
But there was a, did you know Kuznam?
Yeah, Kuzna was one of those that he would be topping the meters from pool 1 to pool number 200 even by rate leading
different approaches, but yeah Kuzna wasn't as smart when it comes to tactics though and
guild management. Yeah, you need a little bit of everything to
introduce different strengths, right? Yeah, exactly different strengths different style and that's completely fine and
and what works for liquid, works for liquid, might not work for Echo.
And exactly the other way around, same for Method.
Method also has its own very specific style and Biff is...
Yeah, Biff is very chill and I really enjoy his rate leading.
As I said, not everyone is going to be like a max level of enthusiastic
when it's rate leading and stuff or big motivator,
but different approaches, guys.
and other approaches have worked just fine so just you do what what works for you
and what your persona you know represents have you done a lot of
raid leading never actually I mean I did it for my viewer raids back in the
days but I didn't really do raid leading myself I I just want to blast and
play my own game you know let's do some music yeah yeah but lately I kind of
stopped playing a lot of music, made the progression rates and stuff
was forbidden basically
wait why?
yeah because there were times I had music too loud and I couldn't hear team speak
need progress
Lawgawk do the mechanic
Lawgawk?
you're just seeing the vibing
yeah but that stopped after Guhun here I think
it's a very fun picture to imagine in my head
Yeah, I was playing like so loud music, yeah.
The old legends are quitting, all quits basically guys.
Isn't there a meme?
Oh no, he has airpods in, he can't hear us.
No, no, I mean they know because...
No, no, no, I mean, no, generally there's,
I think there's a meme like that, that's just perfectly fitting for us.
Oh, but for the guilt it wasn't me, the fact I couldn't hear it
because they know they opened my stream and there is so loud music blasting the ears, right?
So there was always these memes, but yeah generally I always kept it low in the last like five six years
We got a new best a scold on travel day safe travels my friend was good meaning you
Yeah, we improved by two percent
We got to the last ad cent
We we pop the bloodlust and the last set died actually
but then we didn't have people picking up the souls I believe.
We also had three dead because of the Shackle detonation, that's kind of where the pole fell apart,
but until then it looked really, really clean, so honestly,
if I'm not then I'm actually thinking about their new best, I think it dies today.
I think it can die. We need to play well though because obviously still requires
min-maxing and great damage, but I can definitely see it dying and I hope the team performs
good hopefully we pull out the upset and kill it before echo I mean why couldn't
it be possible you know one can dream echo already on 436 volts yeah not a
week yet and not a week yet we got we got some more time I think another hour
before they start so hey yeah potentially one hour I guess it be a big
upset we shall see.
Machivolic is a massive liquid fan I can tell.
He's praising Max so much.
We have a first death from Quep.
Nate almost going down by getting hit by the wave,
but that was close, not the best phase one start.
Obviously the damage is going to be affected by this misplace,
but we're still not at the point where that 1% extra
is going to make the difference, right?
Yeah, exactly.
We might end up below 64% in the next few seconds.
The last set of bounces is coming in now, of course doing this.
The damage on the boss is going to be a little bit lower because of all the movement.
Nice bait on the webblades. You don't want to bait them on top of the detonations
because that just makes the bounces so much more difficult to play properly.
coming through nice dodge on that and we get to 63.43 before the shield sets in
and now of course it's a race against time breaking the shield in time before
the queen drags you in for the last time and gobbles everyone up and for the
moment the damage is looking quite alright it's good damage going out on the
raid but the healers keeping everyone top then now you can see method
really pulling ahead in terms of DPS that shield is melting careful with the
Second and last a drawing off the face. Now. You just got to beat the DPS check. Actually, they're falling behind
This is not looking good. Yeah, get a bit of a pump in here at the very end
It's close. It's close, but I think they have it
Very close coming down
My god
matter of
Millicenters or something, but yeah definitely closed. I wonder why we didn't manage to do it
It's been a while since we didn't kill the shield, but
Yeah, the golden the golden logo golden bro, or whatever it's called
the jeans in
somebody's mentioning maybe top gills in West should get some players from the Asian region, but guys
As far as I know the Asian region has way more money than the Western guilds put into their rating teams
And on top of that they also have different time zones and crazy ping if they were to switch
Not to mention the language barrier
Education for English I don't think is extremely good in Asia but I think the younger people tend to know it a bit
I don't know when I look at league players none of them can speak proper English
That depends really I
Think I think the basic English education is definitely there, but I mean it's also
The like English as a Roman language is so so different from the Asian languages. Yeah
It's I imagine it to be incredibly hard to learn
when you grow up learning an Asian language like Chinese, like Korean, like Japanese.
And I also imagine that the most popular foreign languages are basically the neighboring countries.
So I would assume many of the Asian residents starting to learn Chinese as their second language
or Japanese as their second language.
English is a Germanic language, apparently.
Am I am I confusing the two terms? Yeah, right Germanic. That's that's the one my bad
Why do they need to speak English? I mean ideally when I learned a global language of the world, right?
but I mean I
Think like knowing English is something that true everyone should do
Yeah, I mean technically the most spoken language in the world is
Is it Mandarin or is it Hindu?
I don't know. I mean one of those two but...
We're getting there.
Well, I should really start learning Chinese.
I think it's a really fun language.
It's very hard though.
I can't imagine. I tried.
When I was at university I did a semester of Japanese,
basic language course.
Did you like it?
I enjoyed it, yeah absolutely.
It was a lot easier than I expected it to be.
Like the hardest part, literally was having to relearn the entire system of writing.
Like the entire alphabet.
If you imagine you didn't know the English alphabet, like your ABCs etc.
Learning that entire thing on top of learning the language itself.
I think that's what makes learning Asian languages for you personally say that.
Yeah, it's very hard though. I know people who try to learn it struggle a lot.
It takes longer than some other European languages.
Somebody is saying, why is English the global language?
And who decided that? I mean, obviously it's English guys.
When you go to an airport in any country, what are you going to speak English?
And you're expected to speak English as an employed person, right?
If you go join a company that is based in a different country, you're still expected to know English so that you can work in it
I mean English is the
Like global language or how you want to however you want to call it so we have we have the British Empire to think for that
Yeah
The colonize the majority of the world they spread English everywhere and that kind of lingers a little bit
And somebody asking how is the Shadow Priest currently?
Shadow Priest is not the best, it's definitely not the great class, it's not been used in the race war first.
Definitely best material for top guilds, but if you're a great Shadow Priest and you want to use it,
then it's probably better than you rerolling, so you're still gonna do fine outside of the race war first.
And you're getting buffed?
I did get buffed already.
Twice?
Yeah, they got buffed, I don't think they're getting buffed again.
Or?
I mean, they kinda need it, so...
Yeah, yeah, but...
I mean, they're similar as Boomkin,
but Boomkin provides a bit more utility for the raid in mythic,
and also obviously the druid buff,
and you have always hidden priests in the raid,
so probably don't really need a buff.
Honestly, I do think that the guilds probably would prefer to play
a third Prezivoker over a holy priest,
if they could bring a shadow priest,
But, it's alright, Shadow Priest not good enough to replace the Holy Priest really on the healing side of things.
Especially Symbol of Hope also, one of those big cooldowns that you kinda want to have.
But, yeah, no, this is World First Raiding and for you in your normal Mythic Raiding Guild.
And with that I mean anything like top 30 and lower basically.
I was like, you can play whatever you want.
Yeah, definitely.
Like, people always try to read all the flavor of the month class.
But you want to play the class you enjoy most, the class that you can play best,
and you're going to do just fine unless you're playing in a world first race.
So indeed.
Now it's world second racing.
That's a good point.
Guys, we're not going to cast much the first phase or first intermission
because there really isn't much going on.
So we've seen it 400 times, just boring mechanics, all the radars know what to do and yeah, if
you see something crazy happening or some devs, sure, but rather have some entertainment
by interacting with you guys.
I mean, we could just needlessly go ham on casting this.
Yeah, but would it be fun, please, to get to interact with the new ones this way, right?
We had a on the aversion broadcast back in the day we had a bingo card for one year
Where we just gather up all like fun little memes and stuff like that and one of the
One of the cards was casters do a hype casting for no reason at all
It happened every now and then because someone in chef was like why are these casters not casting?
Yeah, but I mean we are 400 pulls in guys phase one
I mean as soon as we get to like second platform
of a second phase then yeah we go into full casting mode but it's not like PEP
that anything can happen at any point like right now yeah stuff can happen but
you're not gonna kill the boss we've seen the same exact thing for 400 pulls
and it's not really that exciting right I mean it is locally exciting because
we definitely want method to kill the boss we're going into intermission
62.8% solid but could be better yeah yeah I want to see the 61 mark or ideally 62 and then you
get it down to 61 point something when you get down the shield and you can get an extra bit of
percent of the boss. This time around I mean last ball they didn't make the damage check
this time around it looks a lot a lot better the blue bar melting away ever
so steadily like a healer's manner in the arena guys don't want to say it but
best pull is written in two different places you can see the meeting leader
board or on the bottom of the screen there is a best percent so you don't
need to write it in chat yes go you're in it for some phase two casting
Phase 2 casting, we doing the Slogak?
Yeah.
Let's go, alright.
We got the first adds out, you gotta dodge the orbs coming in from these detonations.
Lots of ticking damage on the entire raid that the healers need to deal with and of
course walk over to the portal to get the debuff every now and then because otherwise
the portal blows up and wipes the entire raid and now they add his down, it's
gonna kick you over to our first platform when we start Phase 2 proper.
Very easy phase.
the beam out you get pulled in make sure to not clear with your mates and yeah
get in with the portals get this spell this is the easier platform of the trees
I would say second one is where it gets hectic you have extra heads you need to
break the shield of the boss of the ad sorry and yeah so far so good this is
looking clean you can activate the pilots now Nate rolling up the bridge
grabbing all the little skittlings for himself because you don't want those
hitting your teammates and then drag everything on top of each other. All the
adds clumped up so Bladestorm man can do his damage and the warriors are
absolutely annihilating the adds in this case. The shields are broken, the last few
adds need to be finished off and before the second drag comes in you'll be
able to finish these adds, activate the pylons which actually cancels.
It was dropped to 5% HP, we go straight into last platform. This is easy, just dodge
orbs and going to last phase right it's literally the same ad from the start of
p2 once again the same thing just a little bit of added spiders in there
which is totally fine the ticking damage is quite intense the healers really
are stressing in this phase but I think they got the worst behind themselves the
ad is down to 5% it's going to be killed off momentarily and then we're
kicked up to the last platform we're ending p3 proper this is looking good so far
62% to rest is up
We we can do a great pull here. I can definitely smell a new bass don't want to jinx it
But you know this is looking really really good
And hopefully we don't have any essence not being soaked because I feel like that's big
That's been the main reason for wives in this phase people for getting the essences or not getting it through a portal
I mean, it's it's a pretty complicated mechanic, especially coordinating 20 people to do this kind of
of a soak but I think they got this.
I think so too, lock-in chat, we're going deep on P3, the first set of puddles need to
be dodged, the adds are out, Ring of Peace looking a little bit sketchy there almost
because the adds are bouncing so far into the ring but Bladestorm Man is here to save
the day.
Look at that damage, he's absolutely not even now.
It is glorious, the acolytes are out so break the shields on these and I interrupt
the casts but the shield is going you cannot interrupt them and they're just
gonna keep casting rate wide AoE damage on everyone and now of course you can
see the first set of portals being positioned. The acolytes drop souls you
need to pick those up and bring them through the portals because the queen
is gonna bring in a wave a ring that's closing in from the outside you can
see it spawn in right now that cannot touch those souls. Now down but ego rest we
I think you might have missed it we have a one combat rest being used on
our warrior we go straight into the portals, perfectly executed, soon the
heads are gonna spawn as you can see the boss is gonna get moved towards the edge
we put the heads on the very very far edge of the boss of the room and then we
clip them down. Once again the same rinse and repeat we go to the start of
the phase the spiderlings are gonna spawn in a moment the puddles are
positioned nicely we have the shaman go down, Ankh was used so we're saving
one more battle res for a little bit later and once again the damage is coming in. This is the
shackles, this is the part that really hurts the healers need to be on top of the game. The rogue
down to 5% but the heals are coming through. Everyone topped off immediately. Great reactions here
from the method healers as the web blades are coming through once again. Keep the dodgers
rolling. The next set of acolytes has spawned. You got to kick those shields off of them to
interrupt the cast. The damage is solid that's coming in but it's manageable at
the moment. The last few shields are going. The portals are being spawned and you
just got to finish off the acolytes, got to pick up those souls, not to blow each
other up with the portals obviously. Dodge some orbs and then we're going
through. The ring is spawning in just a second. We need people to pick up
these souls. One, two, three, four, five and through the portal it's so close.
So much damage, but method is playing it clean very well executed
We have a Remy going down and keen as well
But we can rest one and then next rest is gonna be available soon or FTM is also down
Things escalate really fast as soon as one person dies then it's always a chain reaction
We can still do the next wave. We have blood loss up coming up these small ads
Normally not an issue. You just put the ring of peace
cleave them down they're gonna spawn now big adds this is gonna be hard with four
deaths but definitely still potential to see a new best and region rage if you
have enough people doing the essences so yeah 20 seconds on the next battle
race we got two healers down this is gonna be rough but bloodlust is popped
people staying alive no one dying off here in the situation and for the
moment they're staying alive faithy down on the floor everyone pumping as
as much as they can. The Queen is up 20%. Now it was a really, really solid pull into
P3 so far. We're going to go on a little bit longer. We're going to get a little bit
less percent off of the boss.
Yeah, and it has potential for New Best if we manage to get those essences. This
AdWave generally tends to feel easier because you have Spine Master Trinkets. You're
using Blowlass. Every ghoul down from DPSers. And you know, we struggle much
more on the appearance way with everyone alive if you think of it you could see now we had a 15 people
alive but all those cooldowns being used and trinkets not the hardest part to get down those
heads at the end but yeah it's hard getting there with everyone alive and then having enough people
to get those essences yeah it's all about getting the clean entry into the bloodlust phase from there
it's it's not smooth sailing but it's smoother sailing than any of the other parts of the
The moment you use Blowlas, Boss HP goes down really really fast and I mean we could see the pace how quick those adds died
I think it's
Six aquilights at the end if I'm not mistaken
It starts out with three
Five I think it's three four five isn't it? I mean I thought I saw the very end of the fight
I thought the I thought it was three four five two, but I felt like there was six at some point
Okay, okay, then it must be 3 for 5, yeah.
Yeah, because you end up at the end of the fight, you have 12 souls, and you only have 10 people without a debuff that can pick them up and carry them through the portal.
That's where the fight ends, kind of.
We're getting there. We're getting there.
We had the not death until the 6-25 marker which is nice to see because you know getting
there, disfiring to the boss with everyone alive is a good sign for progression.
And then everything escalated the moment people died.
Oh no.
Oh, was the conduit collapse.
The healers went into the portal so late that they didn't make it out of the portal
detonation at the end and it killed two healers. That's tragic. Maybe that's something we need
to clean up a little bit more. We call to run for essences and go through the portal,
get that in a little bit earlier. Maybe some speed boosts that can be assigned there.
We are already using a roar when we want to spread out after getting into a portal.
You have kind of limited the roar so obviously the Caltra is 90% using the cooldown reduction
So you have it every minute then we have a speed told them from nurse
So but definitely those speeds
Abilities are being used very efficiently. Yeah, they have so much value in progression bosses like this
Yeah, you also have stuff like I think time spiral
True with so many evokers definitely
So you definitely have the options
It's just something it's well just one of the pieces that needs to be cleaned up in this last phase
that is method that method is working on right now and quite honestly it's looking better every pull and
We just need to get need to get it cleaned up and suddenly we're gonna sit at
10 5% of this boss almost in kill range
Let's hope hopefully we can get to a 5%
Pull before Echo stars. I don't think they're starting yet. Would be nice
you know just to have them sweat and go
head to head but
Yeah, we just need to keep consistency and I can see it happening
Yeah, absolutely
And yes, there is a girl that has done this before liquid has killed the boss
We're currently racing for EU second
I think the man there was a guild that got work first and were second of the same boss
Oh, yeah, that was on Jaina happened only time it happened. I think in recent years
You killed Tuesday night and for just for shits and giggles you woke up Wednesday
We're like we're doing it again. Yeah, we killed it around Tuesday 6 p.m. I think and then
There was a guild vote
We were like should we just send a rickli are in the morning like full progression mindset and just to shot everything
I actually voted no because I was like I just want to relax after such hectic progression and some of you know
When it's progress you play so much non-stop, but unfortunately the majority voted yes
So liquid if you're listening you lost for a second because my teammates were
Too hungry for that
Was a me though. I wanted to just relax, you know
Well, what can you do if the boys want to blast they want to blast you know
Yeah, I mean when you have a vote you just got to accept what the majority wants, right? Yep
Then again, I can imagine it was kind of fun
It was fun, yeah, but I just wanted to go to the gym, you know, have my relax time.
Makeup for the lost games, yeah.
So, you mentioned during Aberus, it's not that bad in terms like because the tier was so short.
It was like six days and no Iroic week either.
So with no Iroic week and six days, I lost zero gains on the tier.
How many hours a day would you say you need to a lot to keep your routine going to not lose games during play?
If I play 12-13 hours a day I can still fit my training, my sleep and if I have help from my girlfriend with meals I can also keep my diet to 100%.
But when it goes above like 13 hours then it gets more and more impossible.
Yeah.
So obviously you can do mid prep for like 2-3 days, but then if you're like 10 days into
playing 15-16 hours, unless somebody else does mid prep for you then you don't have
time left for it, you know.
Yeah, it's definitely not easy.
Fetcherock, yeah.
Fetcherock actually killed Sylvancourt yesterday.
Yeah.
They were top 5 for a while.
I mean, I can see them getting a top five. Yeah, they're playing insane very very
Great deal with a lot of good players, you know, they're hard core, but
Less hardcore only in the sense that they rate less hours. I still think for the hours fetch out. Yes raids
They're one off with not the best killed in the world. Yeah
Obviously when you have
They normally kill like bosses one recently so you get the extra gear you also have a
tactics from other guilds available, but definitely of the guilds that are actually not playing
World First Race, because you know I would say the World First Race is like top 4 to 5.
Yeah.
For the guilds that are not in the World First Race that try to play like 20 splits and 16
hours a day, then they're definitely the best in the world, yeah.
Yeah.
Big fan of Fletcher I guess.
Definitely, I mean they've been around so long and they've been so consistent
between top 5 and top 10 and yeah I like them they have also good sense of humor you know
oh yeah yeah the the means you you see come out of the camp is pretty good I think I applied
to them once they didn't accept me though I mean if you don't have much experience it's hard to
get into these skills right no absolutely I will I know I also was not good enough definitely
I'm good enough. I'm actually currently very much wondering what my current peak could be
if I really committed once again.
Yeah, I mean it does take a few years to really get to a good enough level to be at the top.
Obviously you also need talent for it, right? Not every player that puts their work, the
hours, is going to end up in a world-first guild. Otherwise you would have many,
many more guilds at this level I believe yeah absolutely we talked about it a few
times already right but the the difference between a top 10 guild and a
world first guild is as big as the difference between a top 10 guild and
a top 100 top 500 guild almost yeah it's it's crazy it is crazy it's all
yeah a little bit of a discussion and chat about like why why do you join a
in the first place and especially like once you go down in world ranking the kind of the motivation of
the players changes massively and becomes a lot more varied there's a lot of players that literally
just rate mythic because they want the loot because they want to push and plus then you have a bunch
of raiders that just want the transmog like me yeah there are players that are also more
hungry than others within the same guild so you often see they say guilds that have massive potential
they're like top 50 and then they end it here and then they're like okay they're like maybe one or
two players that maybe want to take one step further to go in a top 10 or first guild or whatever right
yeah funnily enough writing guild applications is incredibly good practice for real-life job
applications? Oh, I haven't sent an application in 15 years. I mean even when I joined Metal
I got in contact directly with their old leader, Musna, and then I just saw Logs, I sent him some
videos of the first skills of the guild I was part of, it was Apex, like a top six
guild, and he was like yeah you're in, bro. Yeah, nice. He didn't even have to tell
my age actually and I was 16 back then I was so young so it was a scary thing right
nice oh that's cool no I've I've written so many guild applications over the years like
so many and quite honestly it's been really good practice so by now like I have I've
not written a drop application in like three four years but definitely definitely was one of
of those things sitting down, you find the job you want to apply to and you're like how
do I do this? Oh wait, this is actually easy. This is way easier than a guild application
because I don't need to justify my logs. I don't need to make sure there's no logs in
there that just like are completely garbage. I don't need to contact my old guilds to
Unprivate specific logs so I can apply somewhere or vouch for me
I mean, you can just take screenshots sometimes of your parses
But obviously having full access to logs is better because you can see deaths and mistakes
Honestly, like if I was a raid leader and someone just sent me a screenshot of their parses
I would just take that as you don't have logs basically because
I mean, that's the thing though, if you're playing in a guild with private logs then
better sending screenshots than no logs at all, right?
Yeah, exactly. But I honestly, I find myself like I've done I've done some recruiting over the years,
I've done some raid leading. And I've always tended to mostly look at logs, not necessarily the
damage performance, as long as the logs were like somewhere in the high blues purples,
that was good enough for me to consider them. What I was looking for was that they do mechanics,
that they use their abilities, they use defensive health stones, health pot, they pot stuff like that.
One important thing is also to look at first bloods or death rates, that's one of the main things.
Yeah, death rate is is massive especially throughout the night, like is this someone who
pumps like crazy but dies first on every third poll or something along the lines, right?
Sorry, it's also something very interesting to look at if you're reviewing your own performances,
is like, not just what's your damage done throughout the night. Look at your damage taken. Look at how
many mechanics you've failed with that damage taken. I mean, even these days that I didn't do much
research prior to it here, because I didn't play beta, I didn't really try hard. I do, I grade and
then I look at other people's logs to see what I can improve and stuff. Normally, I would be the
the one doing the research so I knew everything beforehand but the first year of an expansion
is when there is so much new information and then you know builds are different it's not
very clear it's so hard to keep up with everything yeah and you know I'm not really investing
much time into a while let's be honest I do raid I enjoy it but I'm not playing like
six seven hours every day right it's a it's a game though but not a job anymore I'm doing
a real gaming you know just enjoying the process playing not try harding like crazy
And, yeah, I mean, I did have like actually the two rank ones on a roic
Like one, but now they dropped already and this last week meeting nuclear was
Was not great guys. Let's just say that I had
Like I was getting crazy. I was in crazy damage and I just died to no heals and then once I died to my own mistake
I think please he'll be please. He'll be yeah
I mean it's only for bosses anyways that you were doing on fire
And then on Grootwister we were using a world first great composition with like 4 DGAs, 3 Warriors
So I 0-dime 2 away now because also the adds got nerfed
Yeah, that's sad
The adds got giga nerfed on reset
And Bumkin is just good at doing away, but Dazaz just dying like 1 second, so...
No parses for Logok, it's unfortunate
I will do some fun parses, like later after progress, you know
I'll try to get my number one old star balance rate.
I haven't had public logs in a long time,
but back in the days,
I would always try to get like a rank one old star and stuff.
Mm.
Charity, Charity.
Yeah.
Just different times now, different priorities, guys.
The last time I progged is DPS
was supposed to playing Assassin's Rogue
on Inzoth, in my loafing channel.
Oh, but that was,
That pier for logs was so scuffed because you needed to spend tens of millions to get corruption gear, right?
Oh yeah, absolutely, but especially towards the end of the expansion with the corruption bender,
where after you could buy stuff, it was a lot easier.
But that was the last year I was actually grinding logs and I think I was top 50
rogues in the world or at least assassination rogues in the world and it's the last time I really
pushed like logs as TPS. Yeah the thing is in Warfare skills the one has
public logs even in farm so yeah kind of he's a fan of it and you just kind of the thing is
in Warfare skills you also do like 10 rates even in farm you like five plays or six and you
rather just be done ASAP rather than just try to squeeze the extra damage min max blasts play
maybe that you might do like if you only do one raid and it's a guild with public locks.
Yeah, because you want to have all the split characters ready for the next tier, right?
Yeah, I just want to be done, to be honest. If you do the splits like eight spades a week or six,
honestly, by the time you're on the fifth of the week, you're like,
please get me out of here, you know? Yeah. Yeah, raiding is fun until you do it too much
and then becomes a chore and that's not great so yeah unless you're as committed as you need to be
for world-first trading it's definitely not a good idea to rate that much unless you really
enjoy it then well then you might as well push the button first you know. I go take a five
minutes break I need to go toilet and I get this neck. Sounds like a plan. We'll see logrock again
in just a few minutes and I'll hold down the fort here with you chat chat we'll do some
some casting together. You're taking over phase 2, alright? I think that sounds like a good plan.
Of course, the shield damage is looking good. A little bit, cutting a little bit close to what's the end here, but
you can definitely tell that method is pumping the boss like crazy 60.09. That is insane damage.
That's the best we've done so far in p1. That's absolutely crazy
So going into p2 now just need to play it clean take care of all the ads and
We might see a really really solid p3 pull
I'm actually getting worried. This is actually like this is crazy. This is liquid level of p1 damage
considering we've just wiped
to shield our lack of shield damage just a few ports ago
That is crazy. Niko was 60.7. Yeah, this is this is crazy good damage. I feel like
they've shuffled some CDs around to min max boss damage in the first phase.
Looking really good. First platform of ads is taking care of. Up the ramp we go.
Grab all the spiderlings and make sure you don't fall through the bridge
once it despawns because that happens very quickly.
Blumtouch gets dispelled very nicely done.
The healers here of course need to be on point, need to take care of their teammates, but this is looking nice.
The draw in gets cancelled out very quickly.
One more point for the evoker tech here.
And with the Yackolites done, we're moving up to the third platform.
Everything quiet all right for the moment.
Do our best not to jinx a chat.
Careful.
Hold.
Hold onto your horses.
The next add.
You can see all the impacts, the orbs spawning.
This is where most of the ticking damage on the raid comes from in this phase.
We got one death, sending the Holy Bell Arrest immediately.
You can see FTM going through the portal, has the debuff.
It doesn't want to dispel this because it's just gonna fade away with this knockback.
this gets dispelled on top of that and we are on to the queen all already sub 60%
no battle res that's a little bit unfortunate of course but we need to
play this clean anyway so might as well just do it like this we'll do it live
we'll do it proper would do it without a battle res moving into third phase
the queen comes down from her strand first part obviously drag the queen
to the side, everyone stack up, bait puddles and make sure you have as much space as possible
in the meantime.
The first set of adds is spawning in, Nate puts down the ring of peace and Bladestorm
Man does his thing, immediately deletes the ad pack, the queen already down to 50%,
we're 5% ahead of where we usually are at this point.
This is absolute incredible damage by a method and of course you have the first set
of acolytes now rolling in. The devastation evokers just popping off with the multi disintegrate.
It is looking incredible and the adds are already done. Big orbs coming in from the
portal spawns. You gotta gather up all the souls and now the first ring comes in once
the souls are picked up through the portal and immediately spread because you all detonate
in a 10-15 yard radius and you don't want to clip each other.
This is looking clean so far, bait the next round of webblades, FTM on the quick feet
here.
And of course the debuffs running out, the souls get dropped, the positioning is good,
everyone stacking up at the edge of the platform.
This is where it starts all over again.
It is a rinse and repeat from here on out with a little bit of added spice.
Of course the spiderlings will need to be cleared out, the webblades baited
Once again, fantastic Dreamflight here from FDM.
I'm just gonna cover all the raid before the next mechanic here.
This is the shackles. This is the one that really hurts.
We gotta take care of the DPS here.
One death through that detonation.
That is unfortunate, but we can keep going.
The wallock down on the floor right now.
We've got a better rest in a minute 30.
We just need to survive.
We need to keep going.
And it is gonna be all right.
have faith in the healers my friends. The acolytes are being taken down the damage is looking solid so far
it's removing in closer to the next portal the next wave that's coming through the pot is a place
you've got to dodge the orbs and now collect all the souls across the platform actually
too dead by now this is going to make this a little bit more difficult one sprinting for
this all he makes it just in time we're going into the next set the next set of
shackles you've got to be careful here personal's will be popped the defensives
are in the rogue gets blasted two more dead on the floor it is falling apart
rapidly but method doing a greater job of holding in there the shackles are
dealt with in record speed the dragon slowly dragging everyone away from the
Puddles ring of peace is good to decay and delay the little spiderlings everything working out nicely so far blade store
Man still doing his best bloodlust is popped the next set of ads
This is five acolytes that need to be dealt with and method is blasting away even with members missing and the next check
down we're looking solid here in p3 where blades are being dodged very well
articulated here by the ray team the battle res is once again up you can
bring someone back from the brink but quite honestly there are so many dead
not even the acolytes are gonna fall the next set of portals at this point you
want to have the eds dead already but it's not quite possible absolutely solid
solid pole
until we got to p3
and it's once again
a death here, a death there, slowly but surely it disintegrates, but 22.6%
what a blast in p1, that is incredible
well, well, well
you love to see it?
give a big round of claps chat, the raiders are pumping like crazy
He does was a fantastic pole going into p3 they deserve some encouragement for that one and
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it
logok is
Back with us in just a few minutes
Give the man a little break. Make sure he can stretch his legs run to the bathroom fill up his drink
Get a snack, you know
It's hard work getting all those calories in
just as it is hard work getting all these boss poles in 399 poles we're
going to the magic 400 next yes hi I'm lethe in case you don't know me I do a
bunch of you wow e-sports casting done races to world first in the past done
some with pieces back in sepulcher and a lot of work on the German side of
things and most recently started casting the AWC as well so you might have
seen you might have not seen me but I'm around somewhere I'll cast whatever
people let me cast and I'm having a lot of fun especially when I'm surrounded by
so many cute people in chat you know it's good fun I'm enjoying this big
shout-out to method by the way for bringing me in after a lot of the
the caster roster kind of came down with the sickness
it'll rough couple of days and uh... they called me up and we're like
did you gotta come in man logos biceps looks so small on the couch
school is just absolutely dominating him you you gotta come in and just make
him look better so
right and uh... i think
i think will uh...
do a little biceps comparison
i think i think uh...
This is gonna make Logo feel a lot better, you know.
We are out of jokes aside.
I'm very happy to be here.
And yeah, dude, AWC yesterday was nutty.
We had some crazy games.
We had some crazy games, especially NA, the grand final.
Jesus, man, that was a nail biter of a series.
I thought we're the first race ports were intense to it, but
That series was that was insane makes me even more hype for the next weekend. I
Had a good. I had a great time. What is a WC? It is what a four crafts arena world
Championship 3v3 PvP the best players in the world
Going against each other both regions you and an a happening currently every weekend
We have the first cup of the season
This weekend, Friday, we start the second one, Wednesday is open bracket in case you want to follow all the players on their own channels and check out all the action.
And of course, after the first four cups, players qualify for the season grand finals later.
And all around, quite honestly, if you enjoy WoW PvP or even if you don't enjoy necessarily playing WoW PvP yourself, it's incredible to watch.
It's a great amount of fun and I want to safely put on a good show, but you are the judge of that
In case of course you have any feedback, always happy to hear it
And in case you have any questions about the race to world first here with method on the couch and in the rate
Toss them in chat, we'll talk about it, we'll see if we can answer
If I can answer, the chat can help you out
We'll have a good time, it's gonna be good fun
And maybe, just maybe, or quite honestly, very likely looking at the pulse so far today, I think this boss dies tonight.
MDI is great to watch. Oh yeah, I'm a big fan of the MDI as well. Very hype, especially the recent years.
It has been more and more competitive and it's been super exciting to watch.
Well, it'd be hard to follow, just go with the caster hype. Very, very valid.
Very valid. I mean, if you're not exactly sure what's going on, pick a team.
You got the health bars left and right, pick a team to cheer for, and, well,
if the health bar is on the enemy team, go down, that's good.
If they don't, that's not good, you know?
And I think that's a good starting point to have some fun with, while Rina, you know?
By way tonight, I mean, hey, why not just kill it now, right now?
Could be just as good, so...
We just gotta get another good pull in.
Let's see how much damage they can do in P1.
60.9 was the best so far.
And I think that's that's a great position to start in
Sometimes I watch to hear Ziko throw nerdy gamer words. It's excitedly
Dude, I love Ziko. Ziko is such a good caster. It's so much fun working with them
Well, Echo went incredibly late yesterday. I think they went in like 3 or 4 a.m
So they're getting a solid amount of sleep because they are fairly confident that they will kill it within a few pulls after waking up
So they're just taking their time and in the meantime hey, we got the opportunity here with methods to catch up a little bit
Maybe even put some pressure on to echo a little p1 reset. Why but log on Q just missed
The best p1 pull so far. You want to hear the scent was it you want to guess?
61 no
60% 60.9
Jesus, that's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy good, right?
point to point to away from liquid
I think they must have shifted some cool notes because that's why it took a break potentially right
It was very close on the shield damage
So I'm pretty sure they've basically shifted every single cool down away from the shields to mid max damage
But it's looking really good once again P3 kind of falling apart due to people dying early, but
We're getting there. We're definitely getting there. Sorry. They took me a bit longer
I opened my bag and I realized that the conflicts
a box you spilled all the conflicts oh no I had the full bag full of conflicts
guys so I had to throw them and yeah clean it up a bit and so on but now it's
good and ready to go again are you good dude 58% I don't think that is true
bro that's a quick shot information how is it saved in the best pool they
was like 60.3 or something I saw it. Yeah it's 58. I mean I'm willing to believe it because
they're staggering blood loss for phase one for a couple dps right that's gonna help but
it is crazy. Well good morning good sir Mr. GM joining us from off-screen for a second.
I hope you got some good sleep my friend. He's shrugging the shoulders that's okay.
Do you always walk to come here or...?
He's getting a risk morning walk. The man is committed.
Alright, Lagerk, you took a little break. Now I'm gonna do the same. I'll be back in two minutes and get some water.
So, chat, be nice to Lagerk. Actually, I promised them I'd make you feel good.
We're gonna shut the games.
No, we gotta do a little flex here next to each other.
Wait, we need to go full speed though.
Over here, which is true we do.
It's close guys, it's close.
I can't even, I can't even height his arm man.
There's nothing here dude.
Yeah, it's close guys.
I think one more month of training and you get to the same level here.
Maybe, maybe, maybe. Gotta get the logo work on plan dude.
Truly.
I think I say this whenever you post some progress on Twitter
But holy your physique is insane. Thank you. And yeah, now I'm bulking. So yeah
Well, I can't wait to actually cut because you know everything will show better when lean
Yeah, I'm looking I'm looking forward to the update on the progress. It's gonna look incredible. Anyway, in the meantime
I'm gonna run for some water and
Back to face one guys
blades happening
For those that don't know it by the way guys, you know there is the ability that roots players
Every Warfare skill is having basically a red composition that you fully ignore it
So every class can cleanse the debuff away or we use freedoms for the few that can't do it
Which basically improves the DPS in phase 1 because otherwise those toms I think they're called
They have like 20 millions HP plus each and not optimal on the screen
Oh nice day it was congratulations guys don't forget there is a still see as
20 anniversary 20 years anniversary bundle that you can get for the workshop edition
Amazing products check it out and code method for 12% discount
Looks like our face one DPS has improved
I believe that's the main reason why we took a break shortly after that 15% pull and yeah
They probably swapped around some cool downs potion
definitely feeling like a deep is much higher right now. 62.5% a bit
better than it used to be but not the best pull in very simple phase. Don't
live with your mates when you get pulled in dodge the waves and damage the
shield mostly healer drop to keep everyone alive because there is a
ticking debuff that you can see on the left of the screen it not only is
It slows you down but also increases the damage that it does to you periodically.
I see a lot of people are kind of risking it with getting a cleave down by their mates
but definitely good play by everyone, everyone still alive dodging the waves and yeah shield
is about to go down we can see the weak aura showing the timer it is pretty tight
but easily done.
face just dodge orbs go into the portal with the debuff so it doesn't explode and
yeah nothing else yeah liquid has been nothing short of amazing eye coach and
guide for supplements and even special supplements everything guys I'm like
super super knowledgeable when it comes to everything fitness diet body
building health related many many years of knowledge research studies also we
We're also commiting Bloodlust 2 phase 1 with some players, I guess.
Beam being cleaved, pretty easy phase as well.
The second platform is normally where we get stuck at times, but at this point I think
we got it down pretty easily.
We can see a nice rescue from Krista, FTM, sorry.
Small heads dying, getting beam cleaved down, beam being baited perfectly on the
side so it doesn't hit anyone.
Those Dispel's debuffs hurt a lot.
they do get sated yes so they're not going to get bloodlust and pull and then they get it back for the last ad phase in the
in the phase 3 when you have 5 acolytes and the idea is that some classes that benefit from
cleave more or from executing more they get bloodlust on the specific point also every ranged class that has
spy master guys you know spy master for those that don't know it is a trinket that for each ability you do you
you have a chance to stack up a debuff that increases your intellect up to 40.
Once you reach 40 stacks the idea is that you use it and it's going to increase your intellect
by like 10 times more each stack than what you originally had so you're going to have
a massive intellect proc and yeah if you combine it with bloodlust and having 5 adds down
to clip them down that's insane value for overall damage.
You turn into...
It is big a brogue in the trinket yeah.
to a little bit of a nuclear missile in the case.
That trick is pretty damn good.
I basically got it and my character went up by 60k DPS, that's just on a single target
so Newey is even better so.
Exactly, so we're into P3, I came back right in time I see which is lovely and of course
once again, perfect base on the edge.
These edges are so easy to handle at this point, you just pull the ring of piece,
them down with the boss the idea is that you keep attacking the boss and then you just clean them
down slowly you know no rush first aquilites going down dodge the blades and look at look at billy's
cam man the he is relaxed thriving moisturized and in his own duty the is pumping i would love to
see why this heart rate while playing because there was crehala which had a heart rate being
tracked on some bosses and you could tell on some abilities it would go up but
while he plays so count like the way he plays is crazy he literally plays press
a button every like half a second he doesn't even like spam them like most
players though and I actually wonder if the face gets hectic if he keeps the
same composure as normal faces right I mean he's a mage main mage mains are
always chill as hell. Just look at Jinji, you know. Jinji is one of those that gets very excited about stuff.
Not that he loses focus, I mean he's an amazing player, but big damage on that explosion, but the healer's got everything under control.
Just got to make sure everyone is top baiting the blades. The adds are dealt with. Bladestorm man does his thing and here come the shackles.
This is the dangerous part. You can see the mass barrier is assigned here for willy. He pops that in.
everyone alive for the moment roped very low, but now the heals are coming through everything done
and dealt with a nicely solid blink into the gap spot here, and the Acolytes will be dealt with
in the meantime. I'm very glad Blizzard nerfed the AoE damage from their cast, otherwise it would
be even more spooky for the healers, but as the Acolytes fall the damage is going to decrease
and completely vanish off, and of course the portals are down, you just got to finish
of the last acolyte, grab the souls and then it's through the portal in a few more seconds.
You can see the timer in the middle of the screen, five seconds until it's into the portal,
but of course any class that can jump over this or blink exactly is going through the hardest part
of the phase with everyone alive, blood loss. If we managed to survive this, this is the part
where methods so far has been struggling a lot. Warrior down to 10 percent, shields are coming
through big engulfs from the evokas the shackles are down and will be deleted instantly will he
gets a bloodlust proc for himself to pump even harder and the bait is clean this is looking
very very solid so far ring of peace is looking good method has cleaned this part up massively
here comes the bloodlust acolytes are spawning in it's five at once the last set of the fight
the next shackles these need to be dealt with perfectly hunter needs a big heal before being
dumped it down by the explosion but everything looks fine very very solid
here but Nate going down the boss goes and three deaths but the better races
are tossed out immediately to Nate falls once again will be takes aggro gets
clobbered it's a disaster it's so unfortunate it looked so clean but
method keeps going Nate is back up and we're still rolling three down but it is
It is manageable. We don't have enough players to play souls. I think the portals are down.
Just need to pick them up. It's a new best already. Is that the Enrage?
No, you can still do this.
It's the last ring before the Enrage. You just got to get through this portal, then drop all the souls and that is it for the boss fight 12.5.
No, it was not the Enrage ring. It was the ring before the Enrage.
I think so, yeah. We had still time but I don't know, I want to take a look at Logs guys and check what happened actually, because
we had the four deaths out of nowhere from the tank and then the other tank died as well, the boom king.
I would love to... Oh, what is it going on here? Let's change POV.
I'm going to take a look at Logs guys, we have a lap copier available to check so I can give you some insight.
I'll keep my microphone here.
head analyst or lord gawk in action
but what they pull another new best also i thought it's max in the chat guys
congratulations for this crazy performance by liquid
very very impressed everyone is impressed you guys owned
good morning max congratulations you have from me as well
you guys played all of their out of your minds absolutely incredible
performance what a well deserved victory
i hope you're enjoying the celebration of all no
They got hit by the webblades, 3 people apparently got hit by the webblades guys
Including the tank, this could have been easily a 5% pull if that hadn't happened guys
That is so sad
I mean I understand that is pressure and obviously the lower you go the more players are panicking
But the timing was just so unfortunate with 3 people dying by the blades
Such low percent pull, that's so sad honestly
Yeah that could have been a 1-2% wipe, I fully agree
Actually, three blades at once, not even one single player.
Yeah, Method has been steamrolled in the early hours.
There was like 30 seconds of just free attacking the boss with nothing going on at the point,
if we had gone through the part.
Yeah, no damage, like after we had this long 10-15 minute break,
half an hour ago, and after that they just started blasting damage.
Yeah, there's lots of cooldowns around for optimizing phase one and stuff.
Yeah, I think we're going into the Shield or rather into P2 with sub 61% by this point.
Yeah, there was a pull with sub 61% but this one pull didn't have the best percent,
I think it was 60 to 0.3 or something but still...
No, it's going very well right now, it's looking very very good for a method.
Crazy pull actually, just those plays, I don't know, I wonder if that hadn't happened.
We could have a crazy race for a second place at the point.
Dude, I'm so excited.
Oh, this is going to be such a good opening.
Imagine Echo woke up and they would see us at like 1-2%
Damn.
Wouldn't that be something, huh?
Yeah?
No, a method would have to pop off, Max, is very much right.
But quite honestly, it's something we've watched over the last few days.
The morning, we think would be good, yeah.
It's insane how well they do the first 4-5 hours.
Definitely, but that's something that's...
You know it's important that you actually manage to keep consistency even towards the later hours
Especially when it's a clutch moments that you require and I think that's something liquid has done amazing you could see they killed
Silicon court towards the end of the rating day. They killed the last boss. I think it was also
When was the killer from leaving the last boss? Oh, yeah towards the end evening. It was in the 9 a.m. U-time
and that's something they've been doing very very well, but
Obviously, experience helps in that case, but also some players have more endurance,
some have less.
But in the morning.
I'm happy to see this morning great pulls.
That's good, yeah.
Another half a day yesterday that we didn't see much happening, but this morning has
been great.
Exactly.
Honestly, just give me the next pull timer.
Just send it.
But of course, I think last phase, a little bit of optimization.
Maybe there's an argument to be made for baiting webblades a little bit better in that last
phase if you can.
The positioning there is so messy already because you've got to be on the air flights and everything.
Why do people get hit from those blades but still obviously so much going on at the
time and your hearts are pumping as well, you're getting so low, you're getting through
the hardest part of the fight with everyone alive.
I hope we get there again with a healthy raid
and maybe this time we get through it, you know?
Yeah.
I'm already happy the web shackles,
the third set that comes in just before the bloodlust set.
That's the one we've been struggling a lot with,
the last few polls, and this one just clean.
Yeah, that's why I said we go through the hardest
because the last ad wave with bloodlust doesn't feel as hard to be fair
like obviously there is a lot going on into the last part of the phase with more essences
but the hardest acolyte phase I feel like is the one without bloodlust
so if you get to the last one with everyone alive, trinkets, cooldowns, bloodlust
that ad wave just melts, you know, those heads just get...
It wasn't like, it's the easiest part of the fight
Yeah, you didn't even feel HP bars dropping because those heads just died straight away, you know
Yeah, I would I would Loki bet that there wasn't more than like one or two acolyte cast came through if at all
They the damage is intense
It's great. Yo, thank you for gifting us up to max Thomas
See the raiders focused waiting for the next poll guys. Let's be real China has been doing an amazing job
But I feel like some of you are overestimating the result
They wouldn't get first even if they were to start ahead or whatever, you know
That would be still like around top three to four. So
Yeah, they're taking I mean, I don't know why they're changing you we're having a ninja break
That's what we call them after a great poll we normally have some ninja break
So just 10-15 minutes of doing nothing, but they're obviously discussing strategy, changing potentially cooldowns, maybe reviewing the fool.
Pull 10 here.
Pull 10. Send it. Get in there.
DM beef and say let's pull bro.
It's good times. Yeah, it's good times. Slams and bosses. That's what we like to do.
Faithy actually just being randomly swapped in half way through, they ripped him off the couch yesterday, we were having a solid chat, we were just sitting here and vibing, and suddenly Kana rolls in and is like, get up, you're back in.
And since then he has been pumping.
Yeah.
He's played both Hunter and Warrior this year or maybe just Hunter.
He was Warrior last year.
He's been a warrior main for forever three weeks ago. They told him he needs to play hunter for this tier and he rewrote
And she's been doing incredible with it. So, yeah
It's been looking pretty good since then was damages. All right the
nasty overlaps cleaned up mostly now. It's really just getting in there and executing
You know, maybe one of the raiders not on site had some sort of emergency and
and uh...
i think uh...
i know everyone is pumped up i mean hopefully if it is an emergency
can't really control anything but
somebody needs to tell the raid that there's also mechs
having the raid up
just gotta send a pull 10 right now and
go for it
if i was in the raid i would just do a slash pull 10
whatever he actually asked i mean
at zero i'm going for an interval to boss and go for it you know
Oh, there it is, there it is, pull 10, pull 10.
We are sending it, we're on board with Faithy, Hunter, POV, and here we go, Queen, once again, get in there.
I mean, it's also true that Liquid normally has the best pacing when it comes to pulling quicker,
which often pays off, other times, you know, an approach with more tactic talks is better, but yeah.
All breaks are bad.
It feels like it's a new approach.
Also no food breaks, stay hungry.
The new approach is just discussing strategies non-stop.
Oh, Max, I love you too.
This is amazing.
Alright, get it.
We are looking for sub-61% ideally,
but at the very least sub-62%.
Max knows it.
When you get close to a kill,
you randomly get 1-2% extra out of nowhere very often.
Just the radius pumping the buttons stronger than ever.
It's happened so many times in the history of the race over first.
I believe it's gonna be the case now too, unless we have deaths obviously.
Which ideally won't happen.
We're maximizing the space in P1 a lot cleaner now as well.
Trying to get the melee more uptime on the boss.
So far it's been looking good.
Webblades dodged nicely.
We're going into the next set of bounces.
Boss is melting 80% already.
That's before the second set of hops.
Of course, from there on out, it is one more, the quadruple set following right after, but for the moment...
This is the blood sacrifice that needs to happen, Lord Glock. This is the good luck charm. This is how we beat the boss.
Hopefully we didn't lose too much boss damage from the death. It's sad to lose a combo rest, but we got to that 15% with everyone alive earlier.
Then everything, oh another death guys, this is it.
We're going next pool, quick wipe.
I don't think this is worth continuing with healer death too.
Yeah, there it is.
Everyone jumping off.
That's unfortunate, quick reset on the boss.
That's all right.
Good pool lands, how about a break?
Break would be good I think.
Next break.
Next break, indeed.
I mean, we had a 12% pool,
but it doesn't show the reality of what was going on.
We were everyone alive at like 16%
and then three people got hit by the blades
and died including a tank.
And then the other tank got aggro because of it
which ended up dying and then people started dying
to also melee attacks and yeah, went down real bad.
Boss is back up.
They should do like pull 30 as soon as the boss resets.
So you have not time to actually relax.
You just send it straight away.
Yeah.
Everyone getting topped off, everyone getting ready.
Some more stretches.
Make sure you are as relaxed and focused as possible.
Yeah, that could have been a kill.
I mean, the damage was crazy.
There was still 30 seconds left.
Hold your horses, my friends.
It was a good pull, but.
No, damage-wise was great, though.
No, absolutely.
Absolutely.
I just want everyone to get over enthusiastic.
True. One mistake and then everything escalates and it's a collateral change reaction, right?
That's also what's happened with some liquid pools, obviously many in Echo.
This boss you have one or two deaths.
Ah there's a 5 minute break travel, let's go!
No, don't wait guys. There is no way.
We actually have an official break time now.
Ah let's go, stretch the legs my friends.
Here we are guys, with 5 minutes to go.
Beautiful, I love that dude.
Get some fresh drinks, get some stretches in, it's lovely.
There is no way guys, in 15 minutes I think Echo is gonna start rating, so...
But yeah, I did not think this morning shift would be this intense dude.
Yeah, I mean progression has been great.
good times it is good times so it's all about p3 in the meantime we can think
about what we have for dinner or lunch I have a lot of food for lunch what did
you order I think I'm just ordering the same last days I get a chicken teriyaki
rice bowl with eggs and then I get also chicken skewers for extra protein so I
I'll go for that 100 grams of proteins per meal.
No tech issue.
Don't tell me it's Crystal again.
Oh no.
It must be something where you are related, I think.
Or something that he installs on his PC, guys.
Crystal was able to break two different PCs
since he's here at the venue.
Damn.
That is unfortunate.
Our pre-sealer, great player.
We have a partnership with a restaurant and they just deliver food every day.
That's good. I got the chicken teriyaki skewers for lunch and I'm grabbing a burger for dinner for the last few days.
Well, I actually didn't get a burger a single time and tomorrow I'm going home so not a burger for me.
I'm trying to give it healthy so.
Check his PC, that's not normally. Jimmy, it's great to see you my friend. I hope you're doing well.
Well, we are...
PCs are provided guys, but they are new.
Check out the leadcamp.
Yeah, leadcamp honestly has been incredibly kind to us.
Really cool location here.
We're having a lot of fun, we're having a good time.
Worst case, we'll give Crystalize the big Bertha.
Oh, true.
Guys, we also have a giveaway for a 3000 euro PC signed by Skor as well.
Crazy.
Indeed, indeed.
I mean, I take that PC home, honestly. It looks good.
I think, in the meantime, quick shout out to our sponsors.
Shout out to Aratsi if you want to pick up a chair for yourself.
15% off with the code method.
12% off of SteelSeries and the 20th anniversary World of Warcraft gear that they are coming out with at the moment.
moment and of course big shout out to raider.io to walkroft logs for the data
and all the Erased World first coverage, Rested XP in case you guys need a
sweet sweet leveling guide. The lead camp as we already mentioned, wonderful
wonderful location that we are at at the moment and last but not least of
course shouting out holy energy drinks, hydration drinks. Drinks it myself, strawberry kiwi, my
favorite flavor, getting that extra energy. Very nice. Also plenty of vitamins in
products guys so there are holds who have benefits to it so and of course very
much a thanks to FATUS and their game Godforge is in beta at the moment I've
been supporting the race to word first for a method for a while now and in
case you want to go check that out exclamation mark Godforge in the chat
and that's the reason why we can be here and have such a good time the
entire two weeks. It's great. So massive thanks to all our partners. Like day check.
I mean I've used the shorts 80% of the sheets I was a part of here. But it's actually getting
colder. Did you notice yesterday I left the venue. I was like, yeah, this is feeling
cold now. It was like six or seven degrees and we started with like 23, 24 since I'm
here.
I actually started wearing the tights I brought in case I wanted to wear a skirt underneath my pants
just because it's not warm enough in here and I would be freezing otherwise it's so nice
actually completely destroyed my favorite pair yesterday accidentally I always use long socks
and I mean when it's cold I don't really use shorts anymore right yeah it's just not ideal
no no no no I'm not wearing a skirt underneath the pants that's not working
guys apparently this break must be extended that's actually cursed we get
such a great pull into PC breaking then again oh I guess crystal dying phase one
because his PC broke earlier so yeah very very possible very possible people
are calling me out for skipping leg day by the way do you skip leg day you
never skip leg day right my my legs was the most talked about topic whenever
I was on the couch for the past two weeks once that I have a long pants
Damn, I mean
Are you are you a fan of leg day or I absolutely hate leg days?
Yeah, luckily I respond good to like training so they get very very big quick
It's rewarding at least that's a positive. Do you do you?
Do you plan your workout based on based on kind of your looks based on?
What kind of groups do you want to train?
Every workout is designed around my strong and weak body parts
because I'm doing this professionally and I don't just train randomly.
Maybe for someone like me who has no idea how to construct a workout plan
based on your physique, how do you approach that?
For a beginner you should just train everything equally.
My level is different because once you have so much training experience
You want to make a routine around your strong and weak body parts, but for someone like you, I would just make a routine that
Heets every body part evenly, right? Yeah, that's probably a good idea
And for you like your level your level of training, right? How do you analyze your weak and your strong body parts?
How do you find out? I mean, I have a lot of knowledge when it comes to this
You know, I also make plans for other people is my job, but
I also have a coach myself, you know, even every like a bodybuilder has a coach and
Currently coached by one of the best of the industry actually, so
Yeah
Yeah, one of the PCs blew up and apparently needs to be replaced or something
They're replacing it right now, but it's gonna be another five to ten minutes probably so quite unfortunate
We're just interacting with Chad right now
Somebody asked me what's my next festival gonna be I do one
In 2025 it will be DEF CON 1 bro.
You're going to DEF CON?
Yeah, I didn't go last year.
I got so many DMs each edition.
People that just want to get a picture,
they're like, bro can I have a picture
so I can show it to my guild mates and stuff.
But this year I didn't go.
I made some people sad I think.
I've never been to any electronic festival.
Yeah, it's a big passion of mine,
but making a living with gym and bodybuilding
as well as gaming obviously implies that parting obviously is not the best but I do keep it balanced
so I do it three times a year and that's it that's cool I haven't been I haven't actually been to a
concert in a while I should go again yeah I've always been a party guy since I was 14 years old
I love parting hmm heck yeah yeah I'm too introverted for that this is a computer guys this is the
computer we are giving out. With the giveaway, exclamation mark, giveaway. If you want to join it,
I think you'll still have a chance, right? Oh absolutely, I mean there's a very nice pinned comment
in chat in case you want to check that out. You can definitely get in for that giveaway.
Or actually to quote Robin, please not, she wants to win it for herself. True. I should
tell my girlfriend to join the giveaway. Maybe I can get it sneakily, you know? Good point,
I'm going to send all message to my wife.
I want PC myself, it's called Signature.
Wait, just go Signature?
Not yours?
No, I'm not famous enough.
What?
No, no.
I wouldn't want your signature on there as well, dude.
I mean, I don't know what happened with the PC,
but I'm kind of fortunate.
Is it fixed?
Guys, I quit rating World First Race
after playing it for like 10 years.
You know, I joined Method in Pandaria, got plenty of work first, Blackrock Foundry,
all legion, then I played with Echo, I actually won three work first together with Echo.
And yeah, then I came back to Method, played two tiers, but then eventually I decided to quit
because my fitness business took over.
I still play casually, I will stream after the race work first, quite a decent amount,
But you know, I simply don't have enough time left for wow this kind of crazy hours, you know the prep
Expansion 20 characters. I mean the amount of prep keeps going up each year. That's a crazy part
Actually actually interesting topic I do see crystallized logging back in so very likely that will fall in a second
It's very good. Everyone is back at the PCs
I don't know how his PC keeps breaking though. He's the only person that had tech issues the whole race
Then they changed his PC and now another PC bro
I wonder what is it? What is it? Maybe it's his overpowering holy priest aura, you know
Or he life-crypt his PC
Actually guys I admit I
Didn't feel like I was missing out on the race to work first or missed it in general
But the moment I saw Liquid's work first kill and like the excitement and stuff the nerd screens
Yeah, that kind of remind me of reminded me of the good days, you know, you know, I've been through a lot
I have ten work first got a flex them
So they were first and bosses so I know I don't like damn
This was this was amazing and these are the things we do it for you know this crazy beautiful moments
And I kind of had some nostalgia and you know form of year of missing out but you know I
Don't think I'm ever coming back
But never say never
Be fit into the venue guys. Maybe we get him at some point
There's something soon. Yeah, ready check guys
It's a neck to neck race
I think from now on echo waking up in a little bit they are doing some crazy shenanigans for their pulse
to mid-max damage, there's bleeding bloodlust for some DPS in P1 and Mima we have Echo waking up and
Method pulling once more. We just came off the back of an absolutely incredible, incredible pull.
Could have easily gone down to 5 if not even less percent, maybe even Bayon a kill, but we
just need to clear up a few more things in that last phase. Pump damage like crazy,
We've adjusted CDs earlier today and from here on out. It's a race to the finish line and any boker get on the floor
Rami goes down first but the rest being used
Hopefully we don't get more depth but going into first intermission with one less combat dress already
Doesn't feel to motivating especially as you lose a lot of damage on the boss, which can have an impact towards the end
It's the necessary blood sacrifice. Don't worry about it. They were just baiting. Okay. Yeah
They're baiting very close to that first puddle, min-maxing the space as much as they can.
Gives the melee a lot more room here to drop those webs because not just do they get rooted,
they also leave a web puddle that is growing slowly but surely, so you want to min-max your space as much as possible here.
And of course then move on, pump the damage queen down to 81% already.
We're moving along steadily, next set of bounces coming in in just a second, and here we go.
So this is the trio, so three hops and three little groups that need to be divided, otherwise
you get too many stacks and basically die.
Dan almost going down there, likely got healed up.
He's just making it interesting for content, you know.
Apparently Liquid didn't use the Blotla stack, by the way, that Egg was been using for a
couple of pulls and I believe we also started using a recently F-10, it was down, contrast
well, might have been F-10, yeah, we go straight into next pull.
I'm gonna keep the focus up because after those 12% pulls, it's a shame this boss, I see
guilds have done amazing progression and then they don't do any progress for like the next
5-6 hours.
Even if liquid is happened I think a few times during, obviously you're gonna swap
some timings, cooldowns and that's gonna make you re-progress the boss but yeah.
P1 is just as easy as it is, as these raiders make it look right, it's really
damn hard.
one of the hardest P1s we've seen in a long while on a raid boss and you just need to
you just need to game you just need to execute and sometimes that just doesn't quite work out but
we'll get right in right back into it you can see the ready check going out already
raid buffs being tossed in as well as the augmentation runes and a little bit of foobuff of
course. Speaking of phase one I mean we're also basically fully ignoring one mechanic which
Which is the tombs that applies a route and then you have to kill it, like 20 millions
on each character.
But we have a rate composition that allows everyone in the raid to get rid of it, through
like shape shifting away or you know, decent gauge and obviously freedoms and so on.
So yeah, it's true.
The progression on this fight isn't your current lowest pull.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is the kind of boss that you know, you could reach 10% and then go straight
to zero.
Just get stuck there for five six hours.
That's because the the end of the fight is so
It's almost it's almost a victory lap once you've made it through that last ad phase and that last ring
It's really just it's all up to you. You need to play menial mechanics
I think one set of web plates and that's it then the boss enrages does the last ring and
You're either she's dead or you're dead and it's just it's just really a position in the fight where?
There's not much more to do you just need to get there with a good with a good amount of damage, and it's dead
And if your best pull was before that 20% and you get there with good good damage
You go from 20 to 0 in no time a single pole and no one's gonna ask where that damage come came from
You're just gonna celebrate and to get there. Well, obviously we need to pull the boss again
So here we go face one good baits here on the poison puddles
Fred getting hit by a paddle almost goes down. It was 10% HP
Suboptimal but luckily still alive
Definitely a close call there, but hey, what for do we have healers? Yeah, something for that money
Nothing much going on in this part of the fight. You just wait for each ability. Next is toxins
Then the Nova I feel like the first few toxin waves are relatively easy until the fourth one
where you have to actually do some sort of proper coordination.
The hard part about this fight is that the moment you have a single death, you're gonna
get the fifth stack on this debuff and then Ray is probably gonna have some deaths or
unnecessary personal usages that you wanna have for a later moment.
Oh damn.
Lots of damage.
Oops, almost goes down as well, but that was close.
We're playing spicy this ball.
I like it.
I like it a lot.
And we are adding into the last set of bounces in just a moment here
So far so good 70% now the damage is good and steady
This is about the point in this poll where the two minutes cool two mid cooldowns are rotating back up
So you get a nice extra bit of blast in just before the bounces and before you go into this intermission
Was down to 65% already and we're not even starting with the bounces yet
So the Queen on a good path away to victory for Method here right now
63.8 the first second third and fourth bounce plate everyone alive and healthy
She jumps away here comes the shield with the intermission and we're on 62.3
That's okay. It was 61 after the shield breaks. So definitely enough damage to get the boss down
But still could have been a bit better. We can see Nate
leaving space for the rest of the radius by going into the green pool.
Being a tank allows you to obviously tank the damage more, dodge the waves, attack the shield.
Seems like we are way ahead on the damage right now as you guys can see.
There is a weak cover in the middle of the screen that tells you how far off we are with the damage on the shield.
It's actually catching up now so it's getting closer but still okay I believe.
Yeah, they've been cutting it a little bit closer after redistributing these CDs to pump more boss damage
But this is looking more than fine. We've had scarier situations and you just got to believe at some point, right?
So we're out of the intermission
Damn, okay, they blasted it. Yeah post shield bar guys
Some Chris must have happened there because the boss is a 61 point 25. Let's kill material kind of percent
So if we play consistent, we can pump it down
Indeed. Phase 2 obviously a little bit spooky sometimes with all the AoE taking damage going
out but the healers just need to be on point and they usually are quite honestly. In the
meantime the first add is done so we get kicked to the next platform where we're expected
by two of the Queen's personal guards that need to be taken out. Of course there is
a portal as well every now and then that one charges up and you need to kind
walk into it, swap platforms and get a debuff that gets dispelled off of you, leaves a little
purple puddle behind, so you want to position that.
We're not going to be down with each other here, because building that ability, also
beating the cleave away makes it much easier for each class to not potentially get knocked
down, but other than that, first platform, nothing much going on.
It's more about the second platform that has the ad with the shield.
Apparently you can mine control a spider in P2 to one shot the boss in P3 and get
banned by Blizzard for it.
Oh, that's amazing. I love those facts.
Some casuals are definitely going to try this now.
You've got to find out which spider though.
In the meantime, we don't have any spiders left on this platform.
Logoq, the next dragon is coming in.
That ad needs to be finished off.
So you can really go down being grass on the other platform, I believe.
One Belarus tossed into the mix, but we're on to the last ad.
We don't need Belarus for the last phase, we're just game.
It's completely fine.
Of course more impacts more orbs that are being sent out
You got to dodge those and the healers need to keep everyone top every now and then play a gateway
Ideally in this face you play two gateways, but it's looking more than fine
They Dan here now taking that portal
The debuff will remain on him for another few seconds until that knockback happens because it runs out about the same time as this
Knockback kicks everyone over so you see him standing a little bit behind the grouped rate and on we are to the Queen
60% lower before she even comes down from her stat.
Great damage, rest available.
We just got a blast now, you know.
Proper base, proper cleave.
Just do your assignment and the boss can die.
We saw it the previous pool.
Not the previous two pools ago.
It is certainly starting to come together here.
Everyone grouped up nicely.
The ranged are in position.
The boss is being dragged over.
The tanks have been doing a great job.
job the first set of adds about to detonate out of nades there we go the ring of bees is in the
hatchlings are taking care of double cap totem to keep them locked down really nice use of this
double totem tech here from our enhancement shaman and the adds are done first set of acolytes
this is the easy one this is only three maybe a cast or two that goes off but it is very very
easily dealt with and so far we've not seen method have any issues with web
blades very very dangerous as we remember from don't don't remind me I'll
have nightmares about that one I think now gotta make sure to pick those
essences up exactly bring them through the portal so they don't explode then
next thing is doing the small as this part is quite chill after getting those
and essence is out yeah dodge the blades dodge orbs very nice take a deep breath chat removing
the boss over this is rinse and repeat of the start of this p3 you can see the eggs
bait the puddles oh my god the ring of peace was well spicy but everything is all right we
we just need to breathe that's unfortunately just cane and the rate frames are too small from
year but I think it was Quep. What? We're sending we're sending a we're sending a Belarus. Quep and
Sting died. We sent we sent the rest on the holy paladin but gonna be hectic with one less person
damage wise. 90 second we just need to pump nonetheless. We can still commit to a new best
if we play really well. The shackles are out as well as the next set of acolytes. This is
four acolytes. This need to be dealt with and of course in between every now and again
the massive hit of damage from the shackles coming through. Next webblades are dodged nicely,
the acolytes are dealt with, you can see the mass of souls in the back there, one next to the queen
here and one south of the raiders that someone is going to pick up in a second. It is probably
one of the majors who can just blink over the ring because the less people you have going through
the portals, the less people need to be healed. Massive damage going out on everyone, the
healers are really scared here for a second. One more death in this situation as the next
Shackles are coming through big hit of damage, but everyone's stabilized the CDs are aligned perfectly here drag the Queen over onto these shackles
So you can aoe everything and min max boss damage with down to 27%
And we'll head into the next set of spiderlings
This is where we pop the time warp the bloodlust and really blast the boss blast the ads and get ready for the next second
A set of acolytes coming through this is gonna be
5 in total. The last set of the fight and you just got to take care of business here. 15 seconds on
the battle res. It's gonna come through in just a moment but the big shackle hit. This is the one
you need to worry about. The healers have everything on control. Method looks so incredibly healthy.
Great blink here from Willdy coming through making sure he is positioned correctly. The last few
are falling the souls are on the floor with a queen on 16 percent. Pick up
those essences. The ports are being placed right and now make sure you're
not in that initial detonation and you dodge these orbs. You can see Vildy
already positioning correctly to pick up this soul. The warriors leaping over
because at this point everyone needs to help with the essences. You cannot
pick up an essence twice in this fight and go through the portal. There
we go the web plates need to be dodged the essences are picked up in this
billy teapot
not quite making it to the ring
webbing that the whole face pretty much we would have the boss to like 7%
definitely we have enough damage to get it down I like the consistency we just
gotta keep it up but definitely showing a very very good things especially on
that second aqua light wave I feel like we have no longer problems on that one
They just die, no problems, no one dying.
It's been a struggle for many bulls, but since...
I think we're in the zone.
Since this morning, yeah, we got in that zone to get through it,
and now just about keeping it consistent and get the boss down.
Man, my heart rate is up.
I'm excited. This is gonna be great.
Yeah, go to ascend the bull quick, guys.
No, time for a break, dude.
No.
Creps PC blew up.
No, it didn't.
It must be a meme, yeah.
I actually turned my head, guys, to look at that.
I'm sorry, dude.
If they know that as a guilt, quite honestly, I think these guys are very aware of how
close they are, of how well they're doing.
Focus faces.
Right.
Also, production, Cam is back showing Dan.
We got Dan on Willys POV, that's of course unfortunate, but we'll get that sorted in just a moment.
I feel like Dan has got a lot of love from production.
They use their POVs so much because he has the most clear rate frame, the Blizzard ones.
For example, Kina is so hard to realize what's going on with these rate frames.
What Kina's rate frames are amazing, dude! They're amazing, I love them.
I like it with having the layout of an external rate frame, so no matter which POV you play,
You can actually see what's going on on that great frame and it's alive and stuff.
It also makes it clear with positioning in the groups, because some people have great things being different from each other,
and some people are on the first slot, then on another great frame it's maybe a different one.
Yeah, true. People saw that either by role, some sort of alphabetical, some by groups.
Everyone has their own system.
Fafi has huge ones as well. There's some great, great things.
I love Faithy, dude. Faithy is great.
So, Ray check went out. Are you ready, Logurg? Ready for a kill?
We're ready to pump. Look at Dan's deepest last pull. It was blasting. Even Melt, I mean, warriors are just so strong on Cleave, and they get to a wee a lot, so obviously their damage goes up.
I feel like warrior has been the top damage on every guild on this boss.
Yeah. I mean, warrior has been incredible the entire year through.
It does help that you have Bladestorm on every single add pack basically and you just do an ungodly amount of damage to it.
But all that is not gonna matter in a few more minutes. Once again we're heading into a poll.
It is poll number 405. A method sending a good morning over to Echo.
That's not what we wanna see guys dying on the very first toxify.
can't even ink because he's in the green pools so we're gonna waste the comb
address straight away on the very first ability probably already jumping down
yeah that's not the kind of put you on have guys first ability one death we'll
just pretend that never happened that didn't happen guys I was actually very
I was actually very happy with that setup and then they wipe it up now it's
yeah what can you do what can you do this is a this often happens so you
have a great pool then the next is like first ability go again as Murphy's law
dude it's just it just happened no Biff Biff sadly doesn't stream no rate
leader he doesn't show his face ever I've never seen beef guys really we're
trying hard to get him to the venue maybe next race but it's obviously
gonna need to have his own room because you know rate leaders are yeah
speaking 24-7 and any quiet places yeah you wouldn't want to have a
a person as loud as me in your room if you're raid-leading you know or me yeah I
was gonna be I was gonna be a riot absolutely pull four or five in sebulcher
me and Jinji were doing arenas with echo to get our rating up and we were so
loud that we were getting flamed by everyone around us imagine me and Jinji
playing bunking convoke doing arenas oh my god that was good times though
I remember one of the aversion races, the casters, there was no wall or separate room for the casters.
Yeah, also Method had the same night a lot I think.
Yeah, but the aversion casters were like four times as loud as the Method casters. Method wasn't in the studio with them.
And at some point the raiders just said, guys, you just need to shut up. You are so damn loud, we cannot play.
not play. But that was more the production mistake to put them in the same room, right?
Well, it wasn't possible because they were remodeling and everything was just one big
giant room, no walls basically. So yeah, it's been some good times in the past. Thank you.
I appreciate Kina's great frames. See, whenever the damage comes in, you see exactly how much
healing needs to be done. We give some love to Kina guys in the early phases then when
it's a later phase I want to get a better overview of what's going to happen because
these things definitely not helping all right I'll let that slide that's okay because we're
blasting the boss 82 percent already halfway through p1 but honestly solid solid pace you know
bringing in the heal's living flame to be targeted on the boss getting a little bit of that healer
damage which is ever so important make sure that your healers are pumping as much as they can
not just on the fps meter but also on the dps. Next bounces three of them this time around
there's one more with every set but i don't think i've seen a bounce wipe in quite a while
could have said like 150 200 pulse rate. Very bad bait unfortunately immediately sending that
holy battle res
once done
the next set of roots kina just uh... sitting in that one for just a second
getting the deep breath the dodge
school lean executed
very well positioned their symbol of hope coming through restoring the
cool down on personal cool downs here
defensive
soft the radar
one of the big reasons why you actually want the holy priest on the
here roster
not just
the stamina buff
And the last set of bounces were on 65% for the boss were absolutely blasting her logo.
Yeah, despite having one death, looks like damage is getting better and better with each pull, at least the average amount.
I mean, look, 62%, I don't know, this could be potentially a 60 point something.
Definitely, this is one of the best pulls we've had so far with damage despite having quelled dead.
So definitely this is like the time where you can feel the heal and you always keep getting higher percentages pulls
Players just blasting and pressing the buttons harder. Yeah
You're you get into the zone you get into the flow state and everything just works
You just got to play clean now pulling happening dodge waves
Everything is clean they're ahead of the shield just ever so slightly
Got to inch out a little bit more damage because that is a very very close call here on the DPS check
But they're gonna make it there
Great, it's gonna be completely fine and we can shape off another full percent of this boss
60.97 incredible damage here from method in P1 and now heading into P2
This is where the healers need to shine. They need to radiate
HPS and glory and for the moment it's working out quite nicely
The head is gonna die everyone's gonna get bounced over to the next platform and we get to fight more spiders
Off we go. Got the two guards and a portal to deal with every now and then of course go through the portal grab your debuff and
deal with it
One at down
half everything taken care of to make sure it doesn't explode. Indeed. Perfect
diesel on the edges. We have another set from Rami unfortunately but combat
rest coming up in seven seconds. We're not gonna lose boss damage by resting him
in this phase but definitely gonna be a bit more tight damage wise. So gonna
make sure that he gets rest and we keep on going. Indeed the next drag in
comes through. Gotta be careful with that position correctly and of course
got a kill of these adds before they detonate which honestly has been looking very very clean so far for method today and
It's continuing to do so one more acolyte
You can see the casters are on top of that and before the next draw and it's gonna come through
We'll have these pillars freed up and activated all the portal
Well, they're missing some add damage. They're very close call, but it's everything
The portal disappears
As someone on the internet once said no sweat on forehead
Oh, that's a good one. I mean, I was wetting there to be very was quite close
I was I was very worried. Yeah, absolutely
But this part of the fight looking actually very very clean that elast ad is down just reposition correctly for the knockback
Everything looking nicely. Actually. No, we lost the portal. We lost the portal debuff
There is another death and I think we're yeah, that's a lot of media
You don't want to see any toxicity in the chat. All the raiders are amazing and they're doing their best
It's been a very long tier with the crazy amount of expansion prep, you know, and we're still battling there for a second spot
So yeah, you guys should be supportive if anything
Exactly these guys are all playing out of their mind every single
Misstep no matter how small is gonna lead to a death here and there is not much they can do in many of these
situation where that's happened. Yeah Florgok you guys can flame me because I'm
one of those that if I get trolled and flamed I have absolutely zero like
emotion because I mean if I'm playing in the war first guild I'm there for a
reason right and yeah the one thing though is a miracle there is this
Florgok guy that used to whisper me since like a Goohun race were first
which was the first live base and whenever I died it would come to whisper me at least once a day
and it up until the very last race were first and I did the last expansion it was one hell of a
fanboy one legend I never got tilted even sent a melee in-game once guys Gorgog's the legend
if you're here shout out to you you made me laugh many times that's incredible that's the
the thing I take this you know in a positive way you know I never got offended
for this kind of memes and stuff but obviously not everybody is like me you
know if you make jokes such as the floor X or some other kind you know some
players can get it personal or can get offended so be nice to players guys
exactly and you know don't blame also me though no I don't blame logok and
And definitely, definitely do not bully me, I am warning you, I will cry.
But of course, we got another poll on our hands.
You can see the bounce is very spread out because you want the Malleys to have as much uptime as possible.
While they are playing this mechanic, the Rangers of course, they are a little bit less bothered by their positioning compared to the boss.
So they are standing quite nicely.
The follow-up explosions are dealt with as well.
The waves dodged nicely.
And from here on out it is a big pump all the way through down to that 61% mark.
Chackles or other the Silicon Tombs dealt with expertly, they've basically assigned freedoms
and root breaks for every single raider in this comp.
So very well executed and just coordinated strat that method is running here.
see Crystallize popping in the apotheosis, getting in the big wings and massive cooldown reduction on his holy words.
He's gonna be spamming out those big heals. Halo is ready and available and exactly as the bounces go off,
he is sending that massive AoE heal, that Archon hero talent, visually, just one of the
funnest things healers have gotten recently and it just also just works.
It just works. Crystallize doing a great job with...
Yeah, Crystall was doing some very close dodges there on the waves, but he made it work, so...
Playing it clean, checking him with spin as well.
The last remaining wallock in this comp, pumping his chaos balls into the boss, so far so good.
Down to 70%, we got one more set of bounces to deal with Logok, and this is once again the point in time
where the two-minute cooldowns rotate back up and we get some solid solid pumping on the boss.
Four toxins happening, tombs always dispelled by everyone in the raid, as we mentioned many times
this mechanic is fully ignored on mythic thanks to our raid compositions, dodge blades, go to soak
and let's see how far we go into the percent. Yep, but you're doing a great job detonating
that at just the right moment Queen jumps into the middle it's gonna be about 63%
We didn't have the blood sacrifice on Paul, we didn't have someone die on the first thing.
We also can shave off like roughly another half percent percent after the shield.
You can see the damage on the shield is also quite tight here, but that's fine, I mean
that's how you want to do it if you want to truly be maxed, you've got to make sure
to not cleave with your maize here otherwise you might just die dodge waves get the shield down
but looks like we're quite behind on damage i can feel the raid is not as pumped knowing the boss
is a 63 percent yeah let's see if we can manage 70 millions left oh no yeah they got it closer but
we get it down just at the end they're tanking in a bunch of damage and another percent shaved
off of the boss 62.4 that's okay yeah that's no that's very okay so at face
dodge orbs and get kicked see on the top left here of Spence UI tracking the
HP of the mobs yeah definitely the percent is based on the procs and
with RNG in general guys you know there are pulls you can do like 200k extra
just simply on RNG so it's simply how the game has always worked some some
classes rely more on RNG some less but this was not the perfect base as it was
going towards the raid at the same time as the pull-in but many everyone
managed to dodge it luckily so else you just get knocked off the platform
another creep but that gets cancelled as the platform was finished going
straight into the second platform, small heads being pointed, killed the shield, hopefully they
have it down as they've been doing it very well the last couple of pulls. Yeah, the tanks positioning
things nicely, all the adds getting blasted, you can see the acolytes in the back, those need to
be killed off, it's the same acolytes that you find in P3, so those casts need to be interrupted
if you're not killing them off fast enough, they're just going to spam cast and do massive
of AoE damage. This time around, no scary situations, no scary seconds with the portals taking very
long or the last ad not falling over when expected. We're moving to the third platform,
one minute to kill, putting AoE to be dealt with by the healers and we're into P3 or 2
battle res is available. But hey, honestly, Logoq, we're not gonna need them in P3 anyway,
I think we can do it without, I mean the boss percent as I mentioned earlier was not the best but still far from
Impossible to kill, you know, we can definitely kill the boss even with 62% starting this phase
Exactly nice a little use of the defensive stance here from Dan as well getting bounced over making sure to
Relief the pressure from the healers as much as possible
Now of course blasting the Queen
56% is probably the marker when she jumps off of her strand.
Raid getting in position for those bays, put the adds on the edge, clip them down,
pretty simple part of this fight.
You can see the bar in the middle saying when the bait happens and move.
Ring of peace going down.
You can see Blades the law, no!
Blades properly by Nate and unfortunately the raid goes down.
as went into the boss and uh... yeah
not so lucky these mistakes happen but
you know just gotta keep on going and uh...
exactly head up safe august
go again poltan
just raise it up
no worries whatsoever
i'm gonna do a very quick bathroom run so i don't have to go again yet when
we're killing when you're back out of the war we
we change
yeah liquid did uh... face to last uh...
I mean, as I mentioned earlier, I can see a massive value for classes that, you know, have more single target damage on the start, like, I mean, I think Echo is using a DH Phase 1 Bloodlust, but definitely for classes like Boomkin guys, or a ranged Aspie master.
I think Blondlas at the last part with multiple adds being up and being able to
clip them down it's so much better than having it on pull and obviously you
needed Blondlas to get those five aqualights down so and guys thank you
for the massive support it's nice to see there is still like a race going on
you know for second place and obviously third and fourth yeah any pull can be
a kill from both guilds obviously Echo is a bit closer but it doesn't mean
that we can't pull it off and I like seeing that we are going straight into another pool you know
sometimes you just take longer than we want but now I feel like the raiders know that boss can
die any pool and they're just going straight for it. Leafy's coming back soon yeah he's having
quick toilet break. I often have my like I have different meals during the day I have a
massive breakfast then I take like a break during my casting shift to have another one
and then you know I eat bigger lunches bigger dinners than everyone else but I had zero problems
getting my calories during this race to work first being a caster I can do it being a player
it's impossible I mean the analyst desk snack segment has been pretty popular I think
true you want let's go did I miss did I miss the obligatory mini wipe no
actually quite clean nice love to see that okay last yeah guys you can check
my Twitter for my fitness business website so check Largox Twitter and
then there all the information available or my Instagram but Twitter is
better for gamers so I eat 4.5k so everything looks clean here you know
toxins happening this third wave three toxin wave I meant yeah there are three
in total right first two then three and then four or exactly the three I got
mixed up mixed up dodge waves yep three sets increasing difficulty just like
Just like a morning workout, everything quite all right.
Like said, of webs, certain tombs will be played in an instant.
With all the root breaks the method squad has available to themselves.
Where blade baits, these are a little bit nasty, but everyone on point with the dodges
here.
Queen down to 69% already, very nice, and we're moving closer and closer to the
next and last set of poison bombs. Position them as Marcus down Dan once
again swapping to death stance for just a moment here to minimize the damage
taken where blades are being baited. Very nice position and the first jump over to
the Queen. Looks like most percent is insane this pool if I'm not mistaken
but yeah definitely pumping much more than previous pool. Looking very good.
Not insane, I take it back, but it was definitely better than previous poll, we're gonna get it down to like 61 point something, which is still good enough.
Yep.
First draw in coming through, DPS are gonna pump this shield like crazy, yes they have some catching up to do,
but that should be more than doable, you can already see the decays, Breath of Syndra, Gosa,
definitely one of the harder specs of Mellis to play to its maximum potential in this game,
but Queb is doing absolutely excellent.
You can see with the DK Defensives,
you can also ignore at least one of the drawings.
It's gonna be completely fine.
Keep that breath rolling, keep the DPS pumping.
You need a little bit more to inch out at the very end here.
Method wants to make it through this B1 once again.
They are ahead, it is totally fine.
And of course, get in those last few points of damage.
61.91 solid, solid first phase.
As we're grabbing the adds,
and we're getting kicked to the platforms.
Yeah, we missed having one death from Monkey, a red Paladin,
but that's fine, we send the Holy Combat Dress.
Lots of damage going into the raid here,
Dorf being dodged, Quack playing it really close
to those Orbs, but very, very nice movement.
Asard down, we go straight into phase two
with a healthy raid, everyone alive,
and another combat dress coming up soon, so.
Yeah.
Repp is just a clutch player.
Getting in the next round of CDs,
getting in some good damage. You can see him hovering always high on those runic power
on the runic power cap. It's assigned to do the portals here. It's going to grab the
portal, get dispelled on the other side. Pylons activated. First platform cleared and we're
moving up the ramp. But your shield adds here to be dealt with as per usual. Nothing
too difficult for the method squad and we're on board with crystallize checking
out the healer POV here. You can tell he really needs a pump. Yeah. This spell coming in straight
away the portal done and dealt with the grab is fine. Of course popping in that holy circle
every now and then for a little bit of extra heals. Good chunk of procs here on the
holy priest as well that deliver an extra amount of throughput for the team and the
Bounding halo it going in and out. I'm having so much fun watching the holy priest on our con man
It's such a cool hero talent and of course it does a good chunk of feelings
So with that last ad dealt with in just a few more moments the last few orbs being dodged the pulsing damage being healed off
method transitioning into
P3 everyone I see the combat rest up. Just gonna get knocked into the next platform now
Hopefully the portal doesn't explode. Okay. I thought he was falling off
of the camera angle guys I got scared for a moment I'm sorry that was a 360
yeah that was a weird camera angle just blast the boss now this part is pretty
simple bait those swirlies on the edge obviously we need to place the ring of
peace probably this time else we wipe like the previous pull but I believe he's
got it down now so bait small as being cleaved down and yeah this part is
just nothing going on. 55% as the boss jumps down onto the platform this is
almost equal with that best pull we've had earlier. Ring of Peace is out, nade,
clutch and clean with it and of course these ads getting blight stormed. Dan is
popping off on the meter. Both of the Warriors are actually
on the corner with the Acolytes. Boss already on 50% this is a really good
kind of tracker on the health to mechanics timeline for us here at the
And of course you're gonna blast the acolytes the first portals are gonna be placed you gotta dodge the web blades everything looking clean
So far of course the rings are gonna come in in just a second
No, they're complete. I think they're completely fine. You got to keep in mind they detonate afterwards
And it needs to be handled
You want to position them a little spicy because they leave these massive puddles behind yeah
And after that get in position to drop your essence as you can see the timer in the middle of crystallize the screen
He drops that perfectly in row with everyone else and we're on to the bait position
Once again reset on the mechanics here
So to say ring of peace is down the hatchlings are dealt with in no time next web blades need to be dodged
And then the first shackles come through the big mechanics
mechanic here in p3 the hard part where the healers really need to be careful
everyone is topped off and still they get bounded down to 20% everything
going well so far Nate positioning the boss nicely on top of the acolytes just
dragging her along but a better res available immediately picked up
and everything stabilized of course one of those dangerous moments where things
can go wrong but the healers have everything under control the recovery
is in. Keep in mind this is the hard way because we don't have bloodlust and despite the next one
having five adds with bloodlust and spymasters that is going to go down very fast. We got the
wallop down. We can still do it, you know the damage doesn't seem to be an issue right now so
as long as we can pick up all those essences we're not going to have many problems with it.
Exactly. Spread out. The essences are through the portals. Now the big shackles coming in
next those are placed on the outside the damage tick not too bad the positioning is good Nate immediately
running over the next set of spiderlings will be coming in in just a moment but until then
the shackles are already dealt with so much good cleave damage here from method the next ads are
in the ring of peace is on point bell the stuns that come through the place needs to be dodged
Good job here from the melee staying alive keeping it rolling bloodlust popped here. We go lock-in shad
We are going deep on this pull 15 seconds on the Belarus
We can get the wall up back up the last set of acolytes needs to be dealt with but so far
This has been very clean today. It's not the part of the fight anymore
That's super super difficult
But you cannot allow yourself
Too many mistakes the last few acolytes will fall in just a moment
The portals are being placed as we speak and we just got it late
They're perfectly not this time
The last few souls will be picked up and it will be picked up by people that can jump over the portal that don't need to
Bother with that extra damage taken. It's gonna be the majors. It's gonna be the warriors
It's gonna be any one that can do something 12% on the queen the last ring the last web blades
The queen is in position the roll comes in the jump over this clean
Everything is working God has spread out the queen on 10%
Method in prime position to really send it home drop all the essences and to bring it in
All the damage CDs every single potion everything you have left in the tank
They are absolutely
sending her one two three down the fourth falls the damage not quite where
you would like it to be but it's such a close call
the ring the walls in 5.3 2 1% method doing damn great today
raise is happening let's go dude what a pole what a pole we're getting high guys
locked in here we have some pox in the chat guys this was crazy we had spam being
dead for like majority of the last phase which would have gotten at at least
another 3% it dies it dies there obviously we had a few deaths towards
the end which is normal to have but this boss is dying soon guys this boss
he's definitely dying soon and I can feel Echo starting to sweat for that second place.
They were not pulling as long as that pull was going on. They were sitting and watching their
second screen. We got a little like a little Echo corner on our overview and they started pulling
immediately when Method wiped. This is a race to the finish. EU first on the line man. Oh this is
I did not expect this to be this high
Yeah, this morning they're playing out of their mind guys
I will be honest, I was slightly disappointed for yesterday's performance
But today we're back on track with War First Class performances
Yeah, I'm making up for it
They are definitely making it up
I mean, we are playing for like three hours, boss was what 18% now 5%
But we had three votes below 15% today guys
guys this is the third pool below 15% within two hours yeah I'm I'm shaking I'm
shaking the adrenaline is there gotta just send the bullcrap guys ready check
is done let's go put it in here I said no I mean echo is pulling at the same
time right echo is also at the point where this boss can die any pull it's
It's really just a nail a biter of a race to the finish here. I wouldn't have it any other way, man
This is so exciting. This is this is what the race to world first is all about for me personally
Yeah, the great thing is that I mean sometimes after the first kill, you know, you normally already have the second
Guild being locked in but this time, you know, it's a big race for second and third place. It's so close. It's so close
Massive massive props to everyone for the your support guys in the chat
we read you all but right now you know we're getting closer to a guild so we're
more focused on the gameplay obviously phase one and first intermission we can
still say some random stuff but you know once it gets to the hectic parts and
the fun stuff you know you want to obviously commentate on the fight yeah
we got our landmarks we want to hit right first end of first phase kind
of boss percentage that's the big thing we're looking for of course we
don't want to have any deaths ideally if we have a blood sacrifice right after
pull that's usually good luck but in a perfect world obviously that
doesn't happen and of course first bounces are done
we're blasting the boss we're chilling we're vibing we're pumping
everything as it should be in the world of walkdraft honestly
on top of the meters obviously off pull demon hunter and the rogue
And another hunter here or there, with trading places with the DKs.
Subrog just with crazy, crazy burst and from there on out,
we get the second set of bounces, 77% on the boss right now.
Nice positioning here from the melee, complete and 100% uptime during this mechanic.
The entire time very well positioned by the tanks here.
got a dodge blades
then obviously bates and into next toxic ability
Oh, actually it was uh thoms force, but this ability we've been ignoring it the whole uh progression
So it's almost as if it doesn't exist, right?
dodge blades again
Tilaepis is gonna go get better and better if it's full
You know the the closer we smell the kill the more pump. Yeah, we're gonna get
I mean everyone is
Vibing now everyone's in the zone. You're hyped up like crazy
66% right now the last bounce is coming in once these bounces are done
The Queen is going to transition into the intermission gonna shield herself and be
Unvulnerable until that shield is a broken
63% right now the last few waves will come in now she jumps away
The shield is going to be casted
Predation once that finishes the shield is up and we're at sixty two
Yeah, this is pretty good. It's gonna go sub 62, so I take it.
Guys, keep in mind, I don't think we're bloodlusting for any player in phase 1, so...
Nope, none.
We're sending it all in the last phase, which gives room for us to catch up damage-wise.
Wave being dodged, make sure to not clear with your mates when you have the pull-in ability happening.
You can see the shielding spin in the middle of the screen.
We're on track with the damage. It's getting closer now, obviously with the pull-in,
but normally it should get better again towards this part.
We'll be behind actually.
Yeah, but we usually are, it just happens towards the end.
I'm just gonna have some copium real quick
because it's getting very close out of him.
Oh, okay, that's good.
And I just sent out Trinkets going down
and Boss goes to 61.99%.
I like to see the number one there, so I take that.
Yeah, we've had a lot of worst bolts,
So this is a great position to be in from your knowledge.
These information just so many damage, make sure to dodge your arms, go into the portal
if you get the debuff and that's it.
Normally this is something that we don't really wipe too.
Yeah, I've actually been called on some players in phase 1 guys, that's why they have a bit
higher percent.
Yeah, I don't think we've wiped to that first add in 300 volts or something.
Neither have we on the second platform totally not jinxing things right now because the damage intake is actually still quite spicy
I'm gonna make sure to spread here and not fall off the platform exactly
portal exploding so you want to obviously get the debuff perfect this fell outside and
Switch off the next platform. Yep. The bridge is up tanks are rushing in grabbing all the ads and to the warriors
Immediately onto the shield ads obviously you want to kill these worshipers off as fast as possible because they are casting
cosmic apocalypse which as the name almost suggests is going to wipe your
raid if they finish it which is not necessarily ideal.
She is going down and trying to pop through by the hunter as well with the
portal debuff trying to carry it to the other side just playing it very very safe
next drawn is gonna come through but is gonna be interrupted by the bridge
pillars being activated that finishes off the platform phase and kind of
resets the ongoing mechanics same with the portal that despawns once you
activate the bridge and of course the same the same or add from the start of the face once again once
you kill it it kicks you over to p3 yeah adds going down portals are about to explode but
perfectly done by then by getting dispelled on the other side
easy this third platform to be honest i don't really see many deaths anymore except a few times
If you're a bit too slow with clearing it then the portal might just explode but hasn't been an issue in recent times
This part you just blast the boss way to bait and then the fun part starts exactly. We're burning the boss
She's up 60 percent
55 she was when she jumped down last pole. We're getting very very close to that right now 56 percent
55.8 as we're getting into P3 proper position along the edge. It's gonna be a bait of some
puddles that are spawned and spread by the Queen into of course the first set of spiderlings. The
Ring of Peace is taking a great care of them into the double cap totem recast talent coming
through here from our enhancement shaman and Dan obviously being the Bladestorm man. He is
is meant to be annihilating the meters right now.
Acolytes coming through, burst the shields open so you can interrupt them so the healers
don't get overwhelmed with the pulsing AoE damage and in the meantime, dodge blades position
portals and make sure the boss is in the right position or one of the hunters getting
hit by the blade not quite dying off there, getting a big heal instantly sniped and
you got the first ring coming in.
on the ground need to be dealt with. Anyone that can blink or jump over this ring will
do so because it is a considerable amount of damage coming through if you take that portal
dot to avoid getting blasted. In the meantime, a few scary situations here for the healers,
but they are on point. They are pumping like crazy and healing who they need to heal.
One of the holy battle resists for crystal eyes coming through as he has popped the
angels so much damage right now one more death the other banner as immediately
sent for our pelican this was the last one we have available for the next two
minutes but we're definitely not gonna need any more of those here come the
shackles gotta be careful with the aoe proc here but the damage not enough to
kill anyone often the healers have things under control the evokas
immediately swooping in with an engulf where blades being dodged
everything nice and tightly managed.
Acolytes obviously the next big target here, gotta make sure you interrupt those
casts after you kill off the shields. A little bit of arcane intellect rebuffing
would be appreciated by our healer I think but Willdy is doing a great job
just being in position and blasting whoever he needs to blast. One more death
coming through unfortunate situation but the portals are placed. Now it is all
about the souls that need to be picked up the essences and one is dead on the
floor. Guys the race is happening. I mean I'm watching both guilds
simultaneously because I'm a big fan of the race and this is crazy both guilds
in the last phase. That's amazing. It is crazy guys. This is a real race and we're just
witnessing it live. I can't remember a time where race two worlds second was
this amazing. Not gonna lie. I don't remember anytime. Yeah same because it's
Normally like first kill kills it and then second is right behind yeah, that is especially
Especially because for so long there was no real race to word second right? Yeah method has been trying very hard has been rebuilding over the last four years
But now they're finally at the point where they're competing that method is improving each tier and he's getting better and better
And you know the gap is closing obviously liquid this year performed out of their minds and yeah, we have a race guys and
hopefully ends our way you know yeah I mean the boss dies today there is no way
also not to mention I wanted to mention also Chinese guilds have been doing a
great job this year definitely much improved I mean we'll see but I'm
excited I'm excited guys unfortunately we have a food break in 40 minutes but
I wonder if they're gonna be late just you know because the race is in and
After the boss is dead dude. I think I go eight probably before starting the raid, which would make sense right?
late breakfast, yeah, I
Mean if I was a player guys, I wouldn't want to eat in that case
I would just say we go until we kill or until the other guilt kills it which opposite
Hopefully isn't the case
But you know, this is not the time to eat. Let's be honest
If they need food, they can get a snack or something.
We're not gonna get there.
Logok, you are looking at the preparations for the kill.
This is the last pull.
If they're hungry, we can just bring foods to their desk, right?
True, true.
Give them protein bars, we don't have those.
We just feed them while they're, while they kill the boss, you know?
I quit. I quit four months ago.
You can write the exclamation mark retired to retired to sorry and you can get the reasoning
Basically, Lorgog wants to eat more food and lift more weights. That's that's all there is to it basically
But wasn't it retired to okay if somebody else will mention it brought it there
Is any protein left the menu with logs there? No, actually
those
protein tabs that are
On top of the sink. I don't know. I've been using those a lot
Yeah, I hope they weren't owned by anybody from the venue because
They check how much protein this left there. They're gonna have a bad surprise
To be fair, I also brought my own protein. I have one kilo in my room and I finished that as well. So oh boy
You go through that much protein. Yeah
I eat 30 grams a day and like four schools daily normally, but even five these days because I'm
How much is in one of those tubs?
Those like 400 grams only but I brought one that was one kilo in my room damn wait three other 30 gram
Three 30 grams of proteins daily. I do yes
So you use up to like two to three times in a week? No, but I do it with food mainly
And then I do like three to four scoops only
Well, there you go protein vacuum. Yeah, that sounds that sounds about right
it definitely looks like it. In powder I do like 80 grams or 100 because if you do
four scoops that's normally 20 grams each scoop. No, I thought you were
using 330 grams of powder. Actually at 410 volts method and rages and one
shots the boss. I gotta say the performance by the team today has
been crazy like very very crazy we had so many bulls up 15% like like four or
something within two hours and I think I think it's just you've seen you've seen
the very end of the fight we've seen enrage on sub six percent I mean in
it's in grasping range the 5% pool wasn't even necessarily our best pull
because we had dead people. We had a bull with everyone alive at like 14%
and then we had three deaths from the roots, right?
The blades out of nowhere and then everyone wiped suddenly.
So we had a bull that could have been killed potential. Max was also watching it and was like,
this could have been a kill here.
It was a very, very close call.
Oh, spicy webblade here, but everyone dodging in time.
Very well played here.
The last few bounces.
This is the foreset.
After that, of course, dodged the waves.
Everyone positioned nicely.
You can see the countdown already here.
That's a very great perspective, by the way, guys.
Without using bloodlust in the first phase,
that's crazy percent.
That is really, really good percent.
Big damage to this pool.
We love to see that.
Everyone on method just really in the zone,
absolutely blasting.
and it's been such clean pulls.
They always play good in the morning, but today,
today there's just a different energy in the air.
Everything is working.
It's crazy, we just keep getting on that last phase.
We had a few not so good pulls, but that's fine.
You know, waves, dodge waves.
Look at how far ahead of that damage they are.
It's looking really, really good.
This is an absolute blaster pull.
Just gotta keep it rolling, keep it clean,
and focus up, falling behind it a little bit.
We're fine, we're fine, we're fine.
It's crazy, we were not even close to messing it up and then suddenly stopped the damage.
Maybe people were saving blasts to get the extra percent of the boss, which is probably
the case, right?
They were probably feeling confident, we have the shield damage, save your last pump
to just get the small percent off at the end of the shield.
Yeah, 61.5 is massive, crystallize of course.
into a little bit of an uncomfortable position and support a blow.
Oh no.
Then we just say we haven't wiped to this in like three
I haven't seen a wipe on this part for so long guys.
Ha ha ha.
But yeah, we go again, we go again.
Just send a slash pull 30.
I feel like that's the kind of approach we should have right now.
Everything is written down.
You know the strategy, you know the plan.
Just don't mess up the plan, you know.
Oh man.
They blew up a portal, guys. So basically if you don't go through an exploding portal, you'll get some debuffs on players that get into those portals and deactivate them basically.
You want to go into those with a debuff and then once you're past it, you get dispelled and drop some pools.
That's kind of what it is. Somebody didn't go into those portals and they blew up. That's what happened.
Was the second portal rotation that blew up? So usually we don't even get that.
So definitely some of the pump that went into the boss was missing on the ads.
Yeah, which is that's all right. It happens. Just got to be aware and adjust if that's the case really and just grab the
Portals instead. I do not regret not playing this year. I mean, I mentioned earlier seeing a liquid getting the kill
I was like damn this giving me some
Some emotion, you know reminds me of the old times
But still the amount of prep not just the past five weeks playing all day
But also what would have been prior to it with beta and all the splits and stuff
in still during the previous raid because you wanted to get up your
characters ideally to level up faster so much prep guys and I don't
miss that definitely I mean these moments clutch moments
when you're trying to get the last boss down are amazing and
it's something that I would love to experience again one day but I don't
think that's ever going to happen with all the amount of requirements
there are for it I just have a different
goals right now. But I'm definitely loving casting, I mean I feel like casting made this
experience very very great, so still being part of the workforce race in a different way
feels good and definitely also enjoying the game a lot these days by rating it in a more casual
guild. Do you need a less like a job more like a hobby? Just real gaming you know.
I'm doing the same at the moment, it's very fun.
Playing it when it's always like a job and you have to always do things as efficiently as possible with time, you know, you never have time to relax, that's really not something that is very enjoyable at some point, except the race to the first itself, which is amazing and you're playing mythic, challenging for those kills, that's a great part of it, but everything that comes prior to it, not really fun, right?
Yeah, true. Lots of waves here, some spicy dodgers being played by Crystallize, but no problems whatsoever.
It's generally well known that priests have some good good footwork.
Logos just...
Logos just spotted deep shades rolling in.
Killing the boss any pull now.
We're dragging Fabon the coach I think.
It's gonna be a good finish here.
70% on the boss already.
We're moving into the last set of bounces.
Once those are dealt with, intermission.
We'll see did you convince him or is he I try to get a hub on the casting couch, but
He prefer he prioritizes food first. I mean, that's fair. That's fair. That's so valid dude, but
We will see in later in the
To replace me I think because my my shift ends at 14 30 but actually
After eating my food, maybe I come back for a 30 minute. Just to say hi
theoretically theoretically my shift ends at 2 30 as well
I don't think I'm leaving until this boss is dead dude, I'm telling you.
Actually now that I think of it I have a...
also raid today and I have to go to the gym and pack as well because tomorrow I'm leaving.
There's so much to do today.
Now you can pack in like 10 minutes tonight dude, there's no worries.
I have so many things to pack, but yeah maybe 10 minutes.
So first we'll get through this intermission.
The launch is in, the shield DPS is looking good, boss DPS is alright as well.
It is alright, yeah.
It's sub 63, that's where we want to pick up the enemies.
Waves, no more pulleins happening as when you get the last pullein it's a guaranteed wipe
basically a soft and rage for this phase we're definitely on time with the shield damage
spread out go into your area and I mean I don't want to jinx it but this phase is really easy
I mean after so many bullets all you have to do is dodge some orbs and go into the bottom with a keep up
We just wiped to Glogog, we can't say that right now.
The Orbs are definitely spicy, he crystallized position himself.
And nicely, the knockback is gonna come through, walk in, join the group,
and we're on board with Faithy, some counter-action to clean out these spider guards.
Obviously, we're continuing with the portal.
First debuff is gonna be taken by Faithy, actually, gonna get dispelled on the other side immediately.
Good reactions from the healer here.
Of course the next draw in coming through. The ad's gonna die shortly after we're not gonna get the third Emerald Communion here
popped in as well from one of the evokers just stabilizing everyone very very powerful cooldown.
Dreamflight going up the bridge more than enough HPS to stabilize everyone and now of course the first draw in a
Dispel combined with a bunch of ads you just need to blast off this platform.
We can see a turtle being popped by
Antober dispelling the debuff on the edges so it doesn't cover much of the room. Yep
One more portal that needs to be played.
But it won't happen, I believe because we are going straight into the platform number three with the small heads and
Yeah, this part is I don't want to jinx it again, but this one is locked in I feel like
We're bringing in a special boy deep shade bringing some luck for this fool
We're bringing in the headsets, we're bringing in the casters, Fabo, welcome to the couch, we're going into P3, we came for the killings, and we came for the pull.
I mean it's the last day of Logo, so I have to do some minutes in front of the set. I will come until the food is here, but yeah.
Joining for P3 just in time. We're solid on boss percentage, 61.5 and blasting the queen down.
Usually we hit like 56, 57, 55, somewhere around there when she jumps down,
which is definitely looking plausible this pull and from there on out it's a very simple
roll of mechanics. First off, bait some pools, bait some puddles.
Now what's up everyone? So like our boys and girls are very good today or what?
Yeah, they're playing... literally killing.
We had four pools up, 15% and one that could have been a kill as well, so playing very consistent.
Any pull can be a gill. We see the bait happening on the edge here, so all us happening, ring of peace, as we clean down.
So the 5% try, 3 people just died or what?
Yeah, but there was another pull at 10% where we had everyone alive and 3 people died to the blades, including a tank, and then we just wiped Insta.
That was a giga blast pull.
No, us alive anymore. Nothing happened there.
First set of mechanics is done. Acolytes are in. There's a few casts coming through, but those are okay.
can handle those perfectly fine without any issues.
Pack on wildest POV, proper overview, he does some clutch plays with the essences and blinking
throughs, it's nice to witness dodge orbs.
Sneaking past, I like it face to face, we're in right now where like everyone is so hyped
and knows that you can kill it, that everyone concentrates a lot, log off properly, remember
us from Sylvanas and stuff, we're like everyone is focusing.
Just getting those crazy bulls back to back.
When I came in the venue, I also like no noise, nothing, like it was a complete quiet, only
keyboard sound and like I like exactly that stage of the progress where you know people
are so hyped.
Obviously for Method, there is still a lot going on for like World 2nd, which would be
like a crazy feat because obviously we had yesterday...
You first, that would be a massive achievement.
We had yesterday obviously Echo of the Sub 1% going to like 2 AM or something I saw
in the hotel room and like if Method can actually do the upset, that would be
insane.
That would be insane.
And here we come to one of the first major points, it's the shackles detonating, the damage not quite enough, it's very, very cleaned up by now, the healers are very aware of how top everyone needs to be, and it's plate out clean, the webblades are dodged nicely, the acolytes are the next big target, Nate positioning the boss around perfectly, making sure everyone can cleave off of the acolytes and or rather off the boss onto the acolytes, making sure everything is sorted out nicely, portals are being placed,
Paladin is dropping super low massive shield, coming through keeping him alive.
Actually the wallock popping in dark packed on top of that.
Now combo rest for the F-person, so that doesn't steal the kill.
Two reses, one third in a minute available.
Method looking to play this next ring, you just got to jump over, play those essences clean.
Make a rest as well, so we're stealing it.
Yeah, next shackles coming out, they're placed off to the side,
the queen will be dragged onto them in just a moment.
Yes, this is positioned correctly and nicely.
Here the Warriors of course are gonna go ham.
Look at these shackles just disintegrating in 0.0 seconds.
Nate taking massive damage but the Ring of Pieces out.
The stunts are coming in right after.
Double cap totem, the recast from the enhancement shaman.
Absolutely crucial to locking these adds down.
You can see the potions, the bloodlust, the pump.
Here it goes, method going once more deep.
into P3. You've got to take care of all the acolytes here.
The shackles are the big deal. The healers take care of everything quite
nicely. And for the moment, things are
good and underway. We have one more Belarus in a second, but we have
two dead on the floor. The warrior is up.
The executes are ready. He's bringing the pain. Great
grip from Tristelis to position this portal. Such a clutch play.
Super important to make sure Method can play this face
out finally. 14% the next set of essences will be picked up in just the moment here.
You can see the mages repositioning towards the outside and grabbing anything that needs
to be grabbed. Here comes the ring, here comes the blades. Needs to dodge everything nicely.
The portal is taken spread immediately to not clip each other. Every one in position
and the heals are coming through. One more death but the pump is still there. 10%
The essences are dropped and Method really needs to go.
Willdy a little bit over eager, shaking his head here for a moment.
I don't think this pool is going as far as we would like it to.
But 17% you're pumping as much as you can.
The pools are all over the platform.
Here comes the Enrage ring.
This is where it ends 5.6%
It's so well. It's completely gone.
It's completely gone.
Yeah, the goal was really bad.
It keeps him pulled up 15%.
You know, even with the people dying,
all it takes is a clean pull and the boss is just gonna die.
There's no doubt about it.
And we just gotta keep it up, guys.
We've been so consistent today.
Players just came fully pumped up.
I didn't expect it after yesterday.
Yeah, I don't even wanna go to him for food break, you know?
Yeah, I said no food break.
If I was a player, I wouldn't go for food break.
I would just go for it again, guys.
Yeah, obviously, Logo gave me, yesterday we went both home together and we were like, the consistency really is not there.
We expected like, obviously I could get in the world second, but like honestly, only from that point what I see today, it's a completely different method.
And that's what I meant already the last days. Every other day, method performs on such a good level and then they just have these thinker days, but like today as well.
Like if they keep this up, you see it also immediately like a ready check. There's nothing to talk anymore.
anymore that's what me and fabo kept saying yesterday as you mentioned we've
seen method can perform one day like war first caliber first place but then have
one day that it's really not there like yesterday was the case I mean if we
managed to get every single day to that level then you know we're in it and as
I said if I was a player I wouldn't stand off my desk until the boss was
dead so definitely when I keep pumping no food breaks ideally but we'll see what
they decide to do I mean but yeah I was really not sure like when I go home again
but looking at this I think tomorrow's the day I go home I go home again I
actually get your train yeah of course crazy yeah like I said I was really
surprised seeing you know yesterday echo going to 3m which just means
obviously they wanted to show that not that far behind of liquid but also what
a threat method imposing right because they know they can be beaten and like
now we have like this race not forward first but forward second and third and
like that just shows like how much this team grew over the last few months
especially from expansion to expansion and it's very nice to see I also had
you had a famous guest earlier with liquid max in the truck Max was popping
in saying hi leaving some support here was very nice it's crazy that they
I literally done like no since I don't know like 40 hours or something
It's been a bit yeah, it's quite long actually dead done already
Like but yeah wild honestly. I love to see this consistency though
And this is actually like the part of the world first. It's like I said that I love the most way
you just see the gills have everything figured out and
Yeah, just pump pump pump go try go try
Even if you have like a P1 stinker kind of you just know jump off go again
Nothing to talk about. We just an individual individual mistake. Yeah, we're just vibing. We're just vibing and pumping and it's looking great so far
Obviously back into B1
Late bates are good
And of course we have the obligatory blood sacrifice of the warlock which only makes the rate pump harder
Also, I think red parents to get a damage boost out of it or something. So
I think they removed it I don't know okay now it's entering the room
Now that Kano is here, this is the blessing we needed.
Guys, I just want to mention again, since Chat keeps saying
Aqua's crazy phase 1 damage, they're using Bloodlust on some players in phase 1.
We are not, which means we're gonna catch up and close the gap in the last phase with
having 20 players getting Bloodlust.
So it's different strategies, so don't really compare the first phase percentages,
because it doesn't mean much.
As long as we have the boss around 62 to 61, we're totally fine and on track.
It's also what mech said. Obviously it's nice to min mechs face one damage, but it's not the thing that kills to the boss.
Like, as long as you have a decent percentage and you get a clean phase 3 with everyone alive pumping, then the boss dies.
Like the 0.5, 0.7% won't make the difference on a kill if everything is going perfect, obviously.
So the shenanigans Ekru is doing can be smart. I'm not saying it's stupid to do it, but it's not necessary.
And they are obviously opting not for this method.
So, yeah.
I think everyone with bloodlust on the last Akulite wave
also makes it way easier, yeah.
Yeah, way easier, like the heads are dying.
And if everyone stays alive there,
also because like they're talking a lot of the battle races,
I think it's not even that bad if you battle rest the people.
Very good percent, considering we're gonna get another half a percent
to 1% off after.
So definitely good percent.
But also if like the battle races,
even if you have like used all of them at 10%
There's not much time left even to rest people at six percent so most likely just
Just want to pump the boss at the time and
Hope for the best
It's by zero on the HP the healer is getting the shields ready the next drawing coming in everyone topped off mostly
It's a knockdown. I have to HP. Yeah, they're very ahead of the shield
This this last third always starts off a little bit sketch, but they pull out massively towards the end
We're well done. There should be no problem whatsoever. Touch those last toxic waves. It's so close
The wall ticks down
No
We got one more minute till the better. It's playable. It's playable
Yeah, you're gonna have to do one platform with one less person for the beginning but without the gate for the bridge
But that's doable and you're not gonna lose boss damage from it. So not the worst now
You don't have to realize you can still do it. You can still do it. Yeah
Say you gotta go in the part to get this belt
Oh, yeah, actually managed to do it before and so I didn't have to go just in the nick of time
Obviously the group we're watching are with faith here right now is one player down
Due to the death of the wallock should be fine
And nonetheless faith you the first one to grab the portal is gonna catch a dispel on the other side
I think done nicely next to draw and it's gonna come through you want to play that rest correctly
Pottle in the back is gonna be taken care of as well
And that last this bell coming through just before the bridges get activated kill off the ads the other group
Obviously, it's another moment. Please go for it. That's exactly. Ah, no
You don't need the damage in p2 so you can play through it with one debt that is
Perfectly fine as long as you get through phase two like the damage doesn't change on the boss really
So like this is like maybe point five percent of the boss which is still finished
But yeah, obviously if the second person that it was a yeah, it was a fail try
But but this happens on the boss like this like there's nothing to be said about just go again
You also see spam getting up real quick probably could
Pick tall it big so two minutes and I'm back. That's why he wanted me on the car
So you can make breaky break
I've been I've been holding down the fort. It's it's been a good first shift here. Logan, you know, I had some fun
Yeah, I'm effort playing definitely much more consistent where all I've heard from now is pretty much either I get to kill you cast with you
I get to casting kill with you guys or later my next shift. So like I am up for a good day today
I'm not leaving this couch
There is no way I'm here until it's dead
Yeah, there's also some little fans in a chat
What?
I have guns?
No, I don't believe it.
Definitely. I've practiced now.
I just have to kill exactly.
Right now, it's only individual stuff.
There's nothing to do anymore of tactic or anything.
And yeah, you can scrap up 5% for sure.
We saw it, obviously, with liquid from 10% to 0%
to same evening the same day.
We have the full tactic.
And yeah.
Like I said, also very surprised
that Ekko did opt-in for the 3AM pushing yesterday.
I was surprised.
That was wild. Yeah, because they were they were definitely struggling towards the end.
You can really see how exhausted and tired they were.
How many poles they just sent off the platform in P1.
Really? Yeah.
I had it, I had it open between in between series during ABWC and you could
really see like the downwards progression every now and then.
Of course, like there's a good pole in there.
Yeah, we obviously saw it was sub one percent.
That was a heartbreak.
I thought it was done and dusted there.
But, yeah, you could really tell, like, the later it got, the worse they played, and ultimately I think they over-exerted themselves a little bit, but...
What are these memes?
So, just like Kursus Sturmann, Hans Liebermann is an Olympic shot for that wolf, and like, what the fuck am I getting compared to here?
This fuck...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Are you checking now who Hans...
Where is it? Show me.
I saw something, I didn't like that.
This was an old Hans-Liebermann, probably not the one they're talking about.
Let's go guys, we're on the next pull.
I'm not finding any related images.
I hope the boss man had a good flight today, obviously Skow sadly had to go home today in the morning already.
But I mean if he sees the guys and girls playing like this, I'm pretty sure he's very proud.
Has a how we say in Germany laughing this and wine this out here
Because of the happy and the theory I exactly because of oh there is even
Let's go. Oh, you had the airport still have a good flight boss man. I thought you were at home already
The lights are doing very well in Amsterdam. Oh, yes the layover. It's been he's been popping in every now and then okay
Okay.
Just been cheering them on as much as the rest of chat and we're off to another poll.
Shot Skuggish can I fly back?
The other big man also entering the room again.
You didn't miss anything.
No, no, no, no.
The spin was on bathroom break.
So, despite the poll got a little bit delayed.
Sacrificial land.
The blood sacrifice to bless the poll has been offered.
I think they actually used the Ankh, so we still have that battle rest.
He is more German than every other German.
Watch the waves, no problem whatsoever.
But man, I also like, obviously it's my fault friends and LogoX as well, or like we are still all friends.
But you know how like it has to be going in the other guild, you know, with like the pressure on.
Like maybe even losing the second spot, like that is unfetterable for us like back then.
Like if I mean I can feel that the teams must start rising the words they play like knowing also like scribe and you know all the people there
Because obviously we all know like every get this giga competitive back then, you know always it was like this if liquid wins
Do we prove the thing with like killing in time?
So who's the real world first within like the
60 18 hours or whatever which was already a topic, but like there was never a question do we get well third and
That is not a question and I know like mentally. Yeah, because I would be the same
I don't want to like speak from above. I would be the same as them right now
That is a crazy feeling like you have to you have to show up now
And if you don't do the tilt is like crazy
I fully know how it is yeah, that's gonna be a big challenge to bounce back
But first, you gotta get there. First method has got to get there, because Ekko is pulling at the same time.
It's a race to the finish, a neck on neck.
Shield damage is great, dodge waves, make sure to be spreading, it's part of the...
For me, things like this is just so funny, because of the mental aspect you have like...
Oh, and death?
That's why we rest them. Because it's like you have our guys that are more motivated than ever by like hype,
and the other guys are like more motivated than ever by pressure.
like it's too completely different
yeah but i mean they're professional love let's be real but it's just
interesting like this dynamic in the mentality between pressure and hype
like it's two completely different ways how you see it
61.5% very good for us that is a good percentage
very solid
sorry uh world first and so okay come on guys keep it please in English
still even though i'm the most german german ever
It's crazy how much accent different you have, I mean it's German but his accent is almost non-existent.
100%. I spent too much time with the Americans.
And I think also because you do the casting a bit more professional you probably also adjusted like how you want to talk to some accent.
You get used more, yeah, probably.
You practice.
Exactly. And I'm with the boys on the couch having a good time just talking, you know?
But yeah.
Pablo is a part-time.
But you have a very heavy German accent, but you don't speak very fluent.
My girlfriend also has a German accent, like him, but they both speak fluent.
It's like for me the important thing is just the vocabulary that everyone understands
what you're saying.
And the funny thing is I feel like it's only Germans usually that comment on me
being very German because all the English speakers understand me and they don't care
at all.
I mean, it's the typical German...
Ah, you also have an accent.
I do, I also have to say, since I'm not like in an English Guild anymore,
I was a little bit scared going to the event because I didn't speak for so long English,
like on a regular basis, you know, like speaking a lot of it.
And I was a bit...
I have it the other way around with my wife because we mostly exclusively speak English at home.
Isn't she German?
She is German as well, yeah, but we just prefer talking English to each other.
So every now and then it's like,
All right, these people don't speak English.
Gotta speak German.
One more bottle.
Oh, spicy, spicy place here from Dan with the orb dodging.
But he clutches it out.
Absolutely a legendary warrior gamer.
And he charges back in 60.6% as we are sending the queen.
We're targeting 56, 55, jumping off of that strand.
Percent is definitely on point.
We also have a combat setup.
I feel like the players are very pumped up as well, you know, they can feel the kill is getting closer and closer.
This for seconds here right now feels so good as a defense to pump and like see the percentage burning down.
First time I saw phase 3, I was like, there's nothing going on here.
And then, yeah, it ramps up quite fast, yeah. Definitely very hectic phase, one of the hardest last phases I've seen of the end bosses,
but this is what we want to see guys, big challenges.
First Mollets wave going up, Ling of Peace being placed perfectly. Everyone cleaning them down.
Nothing going on until the first Aqualights and now the Blades.
But the fingers this fight is very repetitive, just always like a notch up.
Exactly, always like one at more essences to pick up.
More Blades also.
Massive, massive compliments to the Blizzard and Counter Designers for this tier.
here absolutely incredible work on these bosses and we're reaping the benefits of
it. It's just so much fun. Yeah. Like to make these, I'm sorry I didn't want to
interrupt you. Don't worry. But like that they still find ways to make these kind of
interesting bosses with mechanics that we obviously have seen in some form. Yeah.
But like not that exact way and like crazy. This year in particular has been
a tier where a lot of the newer encounter designers really got to hammer
it in. One death here at the moment though immediately picked up with
Holy Belarus at least it's ready waiting for the other one to come in. Oh
We keep one dead on the floor. That's unfortunate. I made us down. No better. That is
Next again
Yeah
That's okay. We lost like to see this last phase post. Oh, yeah
No, you know they have to get the extra practicing
I mean at this point it's all about execution because they have enough practice
But still rather wiping last phase because it shows
those promising things, you know, that you're playing well and you have a kill nearby instead
of just wiping in phase one for silly mistakes, that's not what you want to see on such a
tight race, between second and third.
I would love though that we go into phase three of all battle races, to be fair.
I think like the phase one, even though I'm not as negative as the chat, I'm like
wipe it, wipe it.
I don't think it would be nice to actually have the two battle races going into phase
with the third one coming up because it has the sense of like exactly of someone dying and I feel like phase one is
Easy enough that you can't survive you just need like to maybe like skip a global or whatever
But yeah, but I like it. We are in a very very good rhythm immediately ready check again
Everyone with the food getting their health so it's not fully a for night and then we just go again
honestly, we are sending it and yeah, it's I
didn't expect the race to be shaping up that exciting after liquid killed it, but
It's a very very nice also a long one honestly. I mean this is a very hard
day. Monday and the second week. They're 12 or they're 13 now.
13. My Buddhist race has 3rd hardest in recent times.
Yes it is. After Tomb of Sargeras and Sebulka this is the third hardest in
my opinion. And to be completely fair also Tomb of Sargeras of nowadays
standards of like tactics and stuff yeah I'm just saying this rate
Difficulty wise, up there.
Shebulker still takes the crown for me, though.
Yeah, yeah, for me, I'd say.
Shebulker, guys, that raid.
But I mean, Tomov Sargeras for the time being was very, very hard.
And I mean, we remember without the quick hot fixes from Blizzard,
who would have smashed the head on a wall, basically.
And I think it's crazy to see that, even though in such an incredibly hard raid,
first of all, Liquid played out of their minds,
and Method also did such a big step up.
because that's not the method that played Amir Drasil.
That's also the method that played Arboros.
That is a completely different face of method and that's what I like.
And if we get into the next tier even more consistency,
it will be just crazy in the future honestly.
The race is shaping up to be better with every single passing tier.
It's such a joy to watch. It's such a joy to cast.
It's just an incredible experience.
There is nothing like it in eSports.
it's the wow race to world first we all love it dearly and we're seeing one of the most
exciting ones in recent time at least for well second very much the case here first
two soaks are done and dusted very cleanly played and golf coming through here at land
was FDM just completely slamming the meters.
Yeah, Alondra's, Alondra's like a very hard boss.
And yeah, like the silkencord push on Chuster,
actually getting it down after the reset, phenomenal.
Took him a few days to recover from it from that.
Yeah, it may be that more harm than actually anything else,
but it will always be a memorable moment.
Absolutely.
And I mean, if it ultimately ends up with a world second,
with a EU first who cares if it went south for a few days ultimately it worked out just as wanted
Asians obviously also doing great of course guys who go hero and zbox but they're obviously one
day delayed to like other europeans so that it's always even spicier but they are doing phenomenal
yep deep shits the kill definitely is coming 100% we will see
the blood is sacrificed to the blood gods to the gopole gods it's going to be
fine we toss in the Belarus we get them back up we lose another and we're jumping
off no we don't want to see this phase one wise but it happens you know phase one
is honestly very punishing so definitely one phase that can get you some extra
wipes here and there just gotta keep it focused and go again pull 30 straight
away while being dead. I mean every year you will have realistic
clip like this. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah, both method and
Echo are so close. It's my excitement and first race.
Play on the desk and uh yeah guys that officially from Kena
players are not gonna go for food because they believe in the
kill. They wanna get it down before Echo and uh yeah they
maybe get some of their food on the desk but they're just
gonna keep blasting. Keep the focus up and uh you know
Especially, you know it's the last race day, you know there's a realistic chance for
European first, you can skip the food, like I mean I don't look like I would skip the food, but even I would skip the food
Even I would skip it in that situation, you know
This is the moment I wouldn't want to eat
You can you can eat enough after you have secured that goal
And yeah, it's actually funny that like it's now method versus echo instead of like method versus bdg like one and a half years ago
so yeah
No food for players, more blasting, blast more burst guys, exactly like this.
They do get food in-game though, because you want that food buff.
The vlog is so much muscle missing, a melee might burn away.
You have a good point.
Also glad that everyone is obviously tuning in guys and so many people are rooting for method.
Obviously it wasn't an easy time for Skor rebuilding in the second time, getting the guilt to such a level.
It's still a long road ahead to be realistic, but it's still very nice what K-NASco and the guild has done over the last years.
And it's even more fulfilling of course if you see all the support in the chat. So, thank you everyone.
And yeah, up into the next pull.
Let's go big pump.
Ideally without a blood sacrifice, queb with the breath of Cintraco Serger sending the queen right now.
Third on the meter second end the meters actually just behind the sub-broke absolutely a blasting it off the pole
we're moving into
The next set of bounces in just a moment very cool phase one honestly the more I the more I see of it
The more I appreciate it
It's a very well-designed I would say every ability has its own role
let's say and I like how the room gets filled up and then how much it gets
filled up is also going to influence the information so very good design for sure
what I still need to get used to is the evoker bombardment procs because every
now and then you see a dragon flying through your screen you're like oh my
god he's going off the platform in this progress as a whole I thought wait
this is a vocalist going off the platform yeah we can stop to healer
let's go but yeah I thought the same really didn't someone just fall off
And I checked the rate, everyone was alive and I was like what?
It's the Barbarian Proc, the squadron flying through.
Anyway, really surprising how good devastation was this year as well.
Yeah, it was a big understanding of the game by Liquid by the way, because no other guild expected devastation to be this good.
And then other guilds adapted to it. Everybody was planning to go Augmentation, so props to Liquid for really understanding a rate composition.
the best out of everyone you can say because they've been running like three
devastations it's all part of it's all part of the planning it's one of the
reasons why they've dominated so considerably this tier all a little bit
miscommunication here with the with this poison bombs but sorted out in the
nick of time good reactions here but I think the big thing is also of
devastation that's like a horrible mastery for majority of the cases of
like doing more damage on a high HP target yeah but like especially on
and Zurich when like the Echolites have the shield and stuff like 100% like I think even you mentioned it and stuff like this
So they have very niche cases obviously it's also just a raw output that they can do right now
And someone even mentioned they can even speck into more damage on shields
So like devastation just really fits well the current design
They obviously also this very niche with like mid-range class stuff like this, but yeah nice to see and obviously liquid set
augmentation to
Implemented into like your comp. It's so much work. It's very hard to get it done to the highest level
Especially on even harder bosses to time that perfectly with so much movement and stuff
So devastation really was the MVP of this progression in that regard. Yeah
FGM needs to be careful here for just a moment with the waves and next drag in is planned
But never executed as the queen is out of the intermission
61.7
That's what we want to see.
That's okay, that's okay.
We've had better, we've had a lot worse,
but we're gonna be fine.
We're on board with Vildi now.
Checking out the mage POV.
Lots of ticking damage from these orb impacts
that is going out on the entire raid.
The healers have everything under control quite nicely.
It's down, knockback coming in.
And of course that sends us to the next platform.
Say hello to the spider guards.
I am not playing for method guys.
I'm just commentating.
I'm a freelancer nowadays.
Freelance, Farbo!
Well, there you go.
You can book me for your events.
I can commentate World of Orchid Phrases.
I can introduce the new pasta brand that you want.
I commentate a lot if you want.
Farbo in for children's birthdays.
Or even on a wedding, you know?
If you want me to say some good words about you,
or like even do the thing with you,
you can kiss the bride now and stuff like this.
Just invite him, give him some food, he's gonna be fine.
I keep reading chat that gets confused on why Ekko always faces the boss better.
They actually think our DPS is this much worse, but they don't know that Ekko guys is popping Bloodlust on four players in phase one.
We are using Bloodlust for all the raid in the last phase.
Ekko is min-maxing a little bit more in P1. They have this different approach.
they are convinced they can play that last phase completely clean without the bloodlust on those three DPS and quite honestly
It's a very valid strat
Yeah, it works either way
It's very much a kind of preference thing
It does cost you a lot more time to get each pole going if you are going for this
This delayed bloodlust because you have to let the sated buff on the raiders tick down before you can actually pull
So it's like after vibe guys the people that get the bloodlust at the start of the fight don't release
Everyone else gets bloodlust popped you wait two minutes because you pop bloodlust so late into this fight
So like if there's eight minutes left on satan the other people rest and then you go for a pull
They get bluster bloodlust in the pool while the others have still CDs
And yes, I know I can't just be like a wedding guy and like do do like kiss the fight
It was just a joke I said you don't need to take everything literally from me
that was a bit too against it to be a priest I think but who knows who knows
so fair enough I mean
and the answer when Shaman I remember the night of days
the bay shades action let's go but Boson 53 percent after these first dodges of puddles
and that's a solid solid health percent mark the ads are being taken care of
Blades storm a man is going to town and of course the first acolytes coming
through. The interrupt rotation already marked on that nameplate really is more
than ready for his first interrupt here but first the shields need to be taken
out. The devastation evokers obviously having a field day with that and we're
swapping on board to Dan who is cleaving off of Queen Ansarang making sure
those acolytes get damaged as much as the Queen does. Orbs need to be dodged
the bottles are placed and of course now with the acolytes down
Everyone needs to pick up one of those acolyte souls and skip over the ring
You either do it by a blink a jump or anything remotely similar or you go through the portal
Which also gives you a massive dot and you will detonate after so a quick spread after the portal jump is invaluable
Yeah, we have a very very good attempt over at the other good as well
But our guys are doing insane right now
Oh, okay, 40% for the devastation was kept alive.
The healer is sniping that just in time, Bladestorm man taking care of business once again.
Here come the Shekels. This is the first really spooky part of P3.
The AMZs are down, hunters going down to 5%, but immediately picked back up.
If this unfortunately overlaps with an Acolyte cast, there's an easy one shot on like two or three players in this raid.
in this raid, but Method has everything sorted out quite nicely in this very moment.
The acolytes are melting slowly, but surely one after one they fall the Queen down to
34%.
And as we're hearing Echo taking the boss down, Method hot on their tail, it's all
about these souls right now.
They can't know what the wild, they are going to be crazy.
Make sure you jump over the ring, you play this clean, no detonations, baitheels on the hunter.
Just in the nick of time.
And the next set of shackles carried towards the side of the room, dodged those orbs, then
barely scooting by.
But the damage not quite enough to kill any one of the shackles.
They are going to be deleted in just a moment here.
And the next set of adds coming through as well.
One of the shackles still up, the damage is taking a little while but made with
a solid, solid ring of peace once again.
The setup is a good one.
The end of the DK is down.
Petal res available and the next one in 20 seconds.
We're more than set, but we need to kill off those last few spiderlings.
The tank is moving the boss away from the adds.
Another set of shackles needs to be positioned.
Top of everyone.
One of the mages is low.
The Hunter low as well gets deleted by the shackle proc,
but we got the Petal res in five seconds.
Bloodlust is rolling second pots and everything Method has to give.
Boss on 18.7%.
We just got to make sure everything gets targeted nicely.
They're very careful with this battle res.
They're holding onto it for another moment.
They might need it in another second or two.
But the pots are spawned.
The orbs are dodged.
And you just got to make sure you pick up these souls in time.
The battle res goes out.
You got to pick up the essences.
We got Dan down on the floor,
Faithy trying to do everything he can,
But we're lacking crucial execute damage. The ring is coming through. The pole is falling apart.
One more, two more, three more die. Method is wiping this up as good of a pole as it was.
The boss on 10%. That's a solid, solid HP mark, but not quite enough.
Yeah, this is gonna be 9% again. We're getting some way, some 10% mostly, or some things.
Either way, congratulations to Echo.
We had such an amazing day and you know we made it fun for you guys which is
obviously a very nice thing. Next year will be exciting you know to challenge
these two amazing teams again and hopefully with an improved method even
better than this year because I feel like the team stepped it up you know on
paper we're gonna kill this boss one day behind Liquid but last time the
kill was actually two days behind and the difficulty was about the same
Which means the gill is definitely improving big time and you know just a matter of time
Solid solid performance. Absolutely
Yeah, China is an isn't even close guys. They
They're doing very very good, but you know 25% is probably another full day of progression
If not the day and a half I would say yeah, exactly, but I like that said of course
Congratulations over to echo go getting the European first which was initially obviously also expected going into the race
Especially after last night going at 0.98%.
It's great what kind of run we have made today, how close it got.
It could have gone either way.
So I'm still very proud of our team.
I'm pretty sure we are also killing it in the very next hour or something.
And there was a phenomenal race.
I think especially European guilds have a lot of stuff to do.
Catching up back to Liquid again will be interesting.
But it's nice to see how much method has grown and I'm sure, like I said, our guys are killing it very soon themselves and like also Skorot, it was way closer than expected which is...
Did he ride it now?
Yeah, he just rode it in the chat like a half a minute ago.
Yeah, I think everyone should be proud of the team, they've done an amazing job and the goal is obviously worth first, which is why I believe the team will take every step to improve towards that.
But still, improvements were made and now hopefully we kill it in the next half an hour at most, and that would be nice.
And also make a statement, you know?
100%. I think any kill today is still like phenomenal. This boss is on a crazy level. I mean, look at it.
We've seen like a boss that took like on the world first 404 attempts, even on the world second 4 Echo 449.
Yo, Occidental Trey, dude, it's so good to see you.
Thank you so much for the kind words.
I hope you're doing well, my friend.
I hope you are doing well.
Yeah, he was here yesterday.
We talked a lot with him yesterday.
Yeah, guys, it was also very unfortunate
to raise the method, by the way.
Wait, Trey was here?
Like not here, here, but he was in a check.
And like, he was talking with us for like an hour.
Let's not forget method had the whole raid
getting banned.
There was Corona, which obviously made things worse
at the venue.
Also, we had some tech issues with Chris.
When what, method got banned?
Yes.
So it was definitely not the mod, oh that's an early death.
I mean they definitely did throw everything towards the skill this year.
But maybe next year will be the lucky one with everything on our side.
But it was actually crazy, spontaneous vacation, it's so cold but it's like everything.
It was a spicy race, honestly.
No, no, food break.
No, short break time, I guess they're just getting their food to their desk, I don't know.
still guys we are all proud of the team amazing job
now let's secure the work third
and uh... come back stronger again next year
so what's this supposed to be three or thirty minutes
i think they're just picking up their food or maybe quick toilet break
well i get a glass of water
i need to feed my butt
when you have all these muscle friends you will
Maybe in another life you will know what it means.
I don't want this money, Robert.
Yeah, the fire and kill was wild.
The fire and kill was really, really wild.
Oh man.
What's up?
I am, I am exhausted.
I'm exhausted.
I'm excited.
I am very happy.
Actually, even as a class, that gets exhausting after some time, but how did your adventure
go yesterday?
I guess we can talk about the AWC rather, since it's all related.
We talked about it earlier.
Yeah, did you?
I was in bed at 3.30 a.m.
Who won?
Echo won EU, they actually got judged quite heavily in the Grand Finals, and A was...
wild dude and they was absolutely wild so I'm not sure if you remember dragon
prev yeah of course so they they retired a while ago and now came back and
basically their team welcome to welcome to the genre they picked up one of the
best healers from dragonfly last season a young bay high and he was he was
It was definitely handled as one of the most impressive up-and-coming stars of the region.
So they grabbed him, made a team, and they were kind of coined as the super team,
and they won every single map this weekend until the grand finals.
Then they went up, it's best of seven, obviously, they went up 3-0 on match point,
and the other team swoops in, power toads, dude.
They got 3-0'd in the upper bracket finals by them.
went down to the lower bracket, barely made it out back into the Grand Finals,
had no idea what they should play in the first three maps in the Grand Final and lost convincingly.
And then they just lock in Arcane Mage, Feral Druid and the Holy Paladin.
Arcane Mage is okay, is okay, but not as good as the other Frostmage or an Affliction Warlock,
which we would have expected to see, right?
And on the other side, obviously, Drake and Prem playing Asa Rogue, Affliction Lock,
and just completely sending them with a discrease, right?
But they turned it around, dude.
The arcane dream for game, our reverse sweep, absolutely nuts series yesterday.
It was so worth staying up for and yelling my heart out until the very end,
but man, that was a good series.
And that was only the first cup of the season, dude.
We're getting we're getting more next weekend
Alrighty, so yeah in case you needed more convincing
That you should watch AWC next weekend on a twitch.tv slash walk rift starting Friday
Well, I don't know what else to say honestly
well
But I guess since we do have a long break now I live for this 15 minutes
Because then I do my stuff and then I'm in the next trip anyway
Not get to kill
You brought some luck, not enough, but...
Bye, Farbo, thanks for joining us.
So, Chad, if I...
Yeah, okay, this is my headset.
Christian was like, mute the damn headsets when you get up.
And since we have two headsets, there's two buttons and I still have no idea which one is which, you know.
I think one is the one closer to you.
This is one. I just realized, because I muted myself.
yeah it's gonna be it's gonna be good times do you know who's up next no let
me check the schedule why is the whole one guys pay the usual game yeah team
Horde is Horde. Heck yeah dude I am. I'm Alliance guys. Do you actually prefer Horde or?
Mostly I'm not really I'm not really faction bound at this point anymore honestly. I love
Alliance I don't know I've always loved Alliance since the one time I played it in Cataclysm
but unfortunately I mean Druid has always been a troll then sometimes Night Elf then
and obviously horde deals all the time unless you are pp'ing
so until like two or three years back i was a diehard horde player
exclusively horde player at this point i'm
i'm very kind of mellow on it i don't really care too much my warrior is
night elf for example i'm a big fan of void elves
actually i'm very i'm very tempted to just
zero all my blood elves to void elf at some point but
yeah no i i'm very interesting yeah no it is
it is. My shaman is actually a duck iron. I like the waft shamans, they're cool.
Well such a great race though, we have to now finish it within a few hours so
we show that we had a great day and we finish in full strength. Exactly. Because you could see that
Echo got like a 1% pull and then they wiped another like 3-4 hours.
This is the kind of bosses that, you know, you can wipe a lot to unnecessary stuff.
And every small mistake is a massive wipe, so...
Indeed. It's just a tough boss. A really good boss, a really tough boss.
I really enjoyed it though. I think it was a great fight.
At least as a viewer, I would have to ask players if they enjoyed this place.
And I mean, I will eventually get there as well myself, right?
Yeah.
I mean, I'll never miss an opportunity to talk about my love for encounter design, you know,
but so far looking at this tier, like, usually there's a boss or two where I'm like,
okay, maybe he could have done something more interesting with it, or this is low-key annoying
and it didn't quite work out as intended with the design and stuff, but this tier?
I definitely think
Princess was a bit too overtuned though. They should have probably made it a bit easier. I mean, of course, yeah
I mean you could see that in week one you relied on having Bantho's room because then you could see that in week two without Bantho's room
Gears struggle to retain as hard. Yeah, so definitely think princess could have been like 3% less HP or something and then
Make some abilities. Maybe slightly less deadly like the charge
The tuning is definitely a kind of always I think the biggest
Not necessarily over the top, but to the biggest point of discussion right because tuning is one of the most important things
But it's also incredibly easy to
Miss the tuning in specific areas, right? I think yes, Nick's princess was only slightly like ever so slightly too hard
like tune it down a bit it's like 50 60 volts less I think it's a perfect boss
like legit perfect boss 50 to 100 250 yeah yeah 200 to 250 yeah I think it's
okay if the like if in an eight boss tier if the third the second to last
boss the third to last boss is really tough in its own in its own way as a
patchwork damage check fired right but I do think root twister was a bit too
hard for being the fifth boss.
It was a big surprise as well.
I don't think many predicted Brutwister to be challenging.
I was very worried about Brutwister having to seen it on Heroic that it would be boring
and uninteresting on Mythic, but it actually turned out to be a really good boss.
Just maybe slightly too tough.
To be honest on Heroic, it was quite hard as well.
I feel like.
First week was spicy.
It was punishing.
You meet an egg and you could potentially wipe.
But I like that.
Yeah.
I like that.
I like it if Heroic Week is not just free farm pushover, you know, because that gives your guilds, especially the more casual guilds, a good time, really, basically.
Yeah, when I did a Heroic, I actually expected Brutri said to be a challenge on Mythic.
Beforehand, when I saw the boss design through Vigis, I was like, not so much, but when a Heroic actually started thinking, this could end up being a pretty hard boss, you know.
Indeed, yeah, absolutely.
But I also think that Roshanon was way too easy.
Yeah, I think also the third boss was a disappointment.
You could have missed the decimate and have like three copies explode and you would still be fine with surviving.
Really?
Yeah, if you use the thefties.
I understand if one you can outplay it or maybe even...
If you missed one you can outplay it with good healing, two you really need to use everything.
use everything exactly it was like belly did my like tree you get dropped to
like half HP and it's still fine you know and that's kind of bad design or
200 tune right yeah exactly not it's it's a it's definitely a discussion to
be had because it's it's only the third boss mythic right and blizzard
definitely has shifted more towards an approach of we want the early mythic
bosses to be approachable, even for more casual mythic guilds.
Maybe it was a bit too much though, I think, yeah.
I'm not sure. If you pump up Russian on a little bit more as kind of the proper challenge,
you have a really nice trio of somewhat easy bosses.
Because I also think that Bloodbound Horror for a second boss is actually a lot harder for your average casual mythic guild.
Yeah, because you need to do the adds and stuff.
exactly like it requires some actual coordination some solid damage when it matters and I feel
like if you have a second boss like that it's it's okay to have the three the third
boss be like a little bit of a victory lap kind of give you a little bit of a reward
for beating the second boss were you around during art of fear in Pandaria I was giga
casual guys do you remember the first boss in art of fear mythic I can't remember
the name some imperial or something the heralds the high-high visor one with like
the solar circles going on and you had to like dodge that was crazy hardest the
first boss of all times I would say that one was so I remember Gears took
like a hundred pulse and that's the first boss right I read it I read it
the rest of the raid was a joke Imperial Visor yeah yeah that was Imperial Visor
Then I remember right I was damn. I was casually
Rating and normal with with like a small 10 man guild back in the day
I was like I was super casual my first year in like pop gild. I was in a
World 7 gild were six apex nice
That's after that year. I joined method because I was really into it and yeah wanted to take it one step further
Yeah, I deal portal count one five ten twenty forty eighty hundred sixty thirty
some bosses yeah yeah I can agree on the like the first three four I think that's
that's a good target but the other thing is obviously we need to talk about for
which player level this is targeted right because if you if you make bosses if
you make bosses there are five ten twenty ports for world first guilds in
week one. That takes like three days for a casual mythic guild. Yeah absolutely and I don't think
that's a good thing to have for like the first three bosses. Past that fourth boss you can talk
about a fifth boss, the latest point should be somewhat challenging for the world first
guilds. Yeah and also guys you will mention a pool count. I guess you're thinking of
pool count for world first guilds because a boss with 320 builds for normal guilds
It needs to get nerfed like six times before you actually can kill it with normal people, you know?
Yeah, I mean, take Ugurax this tier, first boss.
Oh yeah, actually, he's not the easiest first boss, though.
No, he wasn't the easiest first boss.
Yes, he was a one-shot for all the world's first guilds.
But my guild, for example, I think we took like nine, ten poles.
Yeah, we wiped one for something.
But definitely a boss that you really needed to know what to do,
because I myself went into it underestimating the pushing and I died because I admit I didn't do much
perhaps for the first boss you know what and I was like okay this and then I just died because I
thought the dashing would have been enough but you get pulled faster yeah yeah yeah it's a gateway
or you know solid it's definitely solid I I would almost go as far and say buff up olgrax a
a little bit and swap him with Sikron. Make him the third boss, make the third boss first
boss and you have really nice difficulty curve for this tier.
But I mean I like hard raids also for the race to work first viewership and for us
fans I mean it's very nice to see when it's harder right because you see these
work first raiders going through all kind of challenges you know.
This is... This is Lahox. He is a legendary boomy.
Yeah. I don't want to flex it, but I have to.
I'm the boom-king player with the most warfare skills and bosses ever in the game, so...
There you go.
But I'm retired now. I'm more focused on my fitness business and still part of the
race warfare right now as a caster. I'm still playing the game casually, you know,
with a more casual guild. I'm gonna stream much more in October and the next month.
But I had to make a decision, I actually told the beef and bangers that I was going to make
a decision between quitting or not of committing a full time to the beta perhaps and stuff,
then I also talked to my fitness coach, bodybuilding coach, he's not a fitness
coach, because I'm a fitness coach, he's like a top-top of the chain kind of coaches.
And then I was like, yeah, I think I'm just going to commit to this and my own
business too, you know.
And that's how it went. You know I miss the race, but I don't miss the prep and
Yeah, there are times that I'm like
Would be nice to read again at this level and put the work
But I like it now that I'm reading like full casual but still at the high level
You know my guild is around the top 30 each top 25
But I'm casual he says top 30 by the way
And we play three days a week of mythic and one day for splits
So really casual and I'm really moon. I admit I'm not doing as much as I would love because being here
Took away some time from like let's say M-plus and things I could have farmed so I don't have my character fully optimized
And I I could have done a bit more research on everything
But you know now I'm back home soon tomorrow and then I have time to blast for the last bosses
For days a weekend splitting is casual. Absolutely. Would you race first if not pet required?
That's a good question
Yes, I think so. If you only had to do... If Mythic is doing a Royquik, then it's also one less week of actual 24-7 gaming.
Two weeks of days I can do it.
I mean, we talked about it earlier, right? The big thing for you is literally just you need the time to train to keep your routine going.
Exactly, right? So, once you eliminate a larger portion of the time factor for the race to world first,
first yeah sounds like a very kind of sounds like it's very doable but then
again I mean guys I don't think that's feasible I don't think the race is gonna
change yeah I mean it is a some I guess a bit more exposure if even that I mean
as a cast that I probably get even more exposure but I don't know it's too much
time and obviously I have some goals in the bodybuilder now for those that
don't know it I want to become a professional bodybuilder in the
biggest federation which would put me in a good position even business-wise and
yeah I mean my goals in WoW I achieved pretty much everything I wanted to
achieve you know was around the top scene for ten years and now I'm focused on
something else yeah I know guys a lot of people keep asking you know the
obviously different viewers we have a command but also this question since
a lot of people have been asking and I mean I can be transparent what
building is not neti guys if you're doing it probably even what even is neti
if you're doing the IFBB pro league which is where all the best people are
which I'm doing as well that doesn't exist neti you know that's just how it is
if anybody says neti in the IFBB pro league they're just straight up lying to
you with you know I don't like lying I don't like calling people you know
Full transparency for me
Don't think that he could perform at pro level probably not another pro level. Okay depends what you mean pro level, you know
She pro level I have BB pro league, which is the Federation with the best of the best then no
I'm not a
45% body probably doesn't have a nutty division friend. Oh, that's a good one
What you maybe have heard of is like other federations that are not really relevant.
I mean as sad as it sounds because obviously you want to promote health but that's how it
is.
That's fair enough, no honestly transparency is very valuable.
I spoke about the race so much guys, about our stories, about but the thing is whenever
I'm streaming or even in the casting couch there are so many like questions about this part
because I mean being a bigger like wow like influencer or how you want to call it you know
people get curious but yeah hey we just we just I just I like to talk about I like to talk about
topics that my co-casters are enthusiastic about um and logoc obviously well duh very
enthusiastic about bodybuilding and it's it's a super interesting topic so three
things that are like part of my life is like music,
gym and gaming obviously like gaming has always been a massive part of my life
since i'm like six years old i've played all kind of games and
even at school i always loved playing against my friends you know
FIFA or what was the first game you ever played
that what was it that got you started like Final Fantasy
Seven Metal Gear one and this kind of stuff. Oh, yeah. Yes one nice
That's cool. Yeah, I was a gamer since the beginning and in Italy you don't really have a
PC gaming match at least back in the days PC gaming wasn't popular
So you would just play console, but I actually shifted to PC gaming
Relatively young. I was one of the first of my age at least mm-hmm
No one ten years old would play PC in Italy at least yeah
Yeah. My dad was a massive gamer, that's why we always had like the nearest console,
he had like a top of the line gaming PC, like once a year he'd upgrade his gaming
PC basically, so I always had some cool stuff.
I mean I had my brother which got me into games and back in the days though I shared
PC with both my brother and sister when I was like six, so he was always fighting
for who's using the PC, he was using the PlayStation, we had both PC and PlayStation.
My brother and me, absolutely, until we at some point discovered fighting games and that
was a timeline where we couldn't play too much video games because we always got into
fights over it.
Yeah, that is a standard guys, getting into fights because of, even with my friends,
either video games or playing football with your friends, I mean that was me like
in my childhood, I would just go play football and then, you know, even with your closest
friends it gets heated you end up you know you end up fighting each other
luckily we matured and now we don't have we don't get into fights for these
reasons anymore exactly but I don't believe there is any people that are
brothers and sisters that never had a fight you know there is no way yeah no
No, I don't think so either.
Well, I think we've had a good time.
We had a great shift, guys. We believed in the worst second. It didn't happen, but there is room for improvement next season.
We are excited to share it with you guys, and hopefully Meta will get back the crown.
Thank you for hanging out with us and cheating. This was my very last shift, so...
You're leaving tomorrow, right?
Leaving tomorrow, yes, my training is at 11.
I'm still gonna be in Germany, because I live here now, but...
Oh, there you go.
Hey, if you ever in Berlin, let me know.
Uh, yeah, I have my drinks together.
Because I have a friend, a close friend there.
I was there like a year and a half ago.
Yeah, awesome, yeah.
I enjoyed it.
Definitely hit me up.
All the most exciting.
Thank you so much, and thank you for this cast.
It was great.
Oh, it was a lot of fun hanging out with you.
It was a pleasure meeting you,
and see you guys.
Have a great day.
Stay tuned because we're not going anywhere. There is a break timer of 10 minutes after that. We're going for the kill.
So we're just changing your shift now. We'll run some ads. We'll do a quick rotation and
we're going to grab some food and then you're going to be joined by Rage darling
and Deep Shades of course. So in the meantime, big shout out to our sponsors. Thanks to
Mr. Rossi Steerseries Holy, Fateless and of course Radar.io
and Warcraft Blocks Rested XP and the Elite Camp here
in a bi-pilling in Germany in this regard.
We've been Lithi and Logoq. We'll see you later. Bye bye.
Three new flavors, coconut, pineapple and sour cherry.
It doesn't make sport easier, but much more bearable.
Give it a try.
With holy hydration, success squirts you right in the base.
Hello, hello everyone.
Welcome back to the race wolf first with a method.
So the raiders have had their food break.
They have a well-fed food buff.
So we're gonna see a kill pretty soon, right?
I hope so.
We're so close. I was talking to Shadow a little bit though, and he said that we need to find around 3% damage from somewhere.
Yeah. We always find damage from somewhere.
We have to. Otherwise it's going to be just the end rage wipe.
But we're so close. We've been playing really, really good this morning.
The whole morning we just got one best after another into the super low percentages.
So nice to see after yesterday evening, yesterday night when it was just not going well.
So I hope for kill I mean I would expect to see a kill in our shift, but she did make me scared
Well, she did scare me because of like the 3% that they are badly missing because I've been told we are doing very great
Even like maximum wasn't in shed and stuff and said like the damage should be fine
So I do hope the guys are hyped and like also a little bit of the pressure gone
Obviously now I was very like the second to third race and stuff
Yeah, so I really hope that we get to see the kid in our shift. Yeah, but
But like I said, I'm a little bit scared because of her.
It's Shelly's fault. He said that.
Biff did say that he thinks we've got enough damage for the kill.
We can for sure find the damage somewhere. We had people there, then things didn't go great.
I was actually watching both our stream and the Echo stream at the same time, two monitors.
And when Ekko killed, I was thinking, holy moly, if we kill in this current pull as well, and it was looking really, really good, that would have been insane.
That would have been the closest back to back race all first kill in the history of the GARD VUF.
We did very well this year.
We did. We played insane. Like, just, there's so many challenges that the team faced as well, and the fact that we've kept up is just incredible.
It's been such an enjoyable race to watch from a viewer point of view as well.
Like I'm sure chat you guys as well with having back-and-forth from us to echo
Especially when we're getting down to like the p2 p3 poles
When both us and echo were both in p3 like multiple times it was it was tight. It was tense
But it's a entertainment and a really amazing performance from the teams
Liquid definitely deserved to win like there's no no question
No discussion about that they killed the boss like so far ahead of anyone else
Like whatever they did this tier, please don't do it next year again.
Yeah, I agree.
Yeah, I do think if we didn't have like every other day like on this boss, like a very bad day,
we could have been already like done with it because like yesterday and like three days ago like was just horrendous.
Yeah, it seems like every other day we had a bad day, but today thankfully is a good day.
Today the team has been pumping, they've been concentrating, they've been consistent as well.
They've been pushing themselves to P3, we've been getting a new best back on back and yeah, I'm extremely confident we're going to see a kill really soon.
So is the team as well. You'd think that maybe like spirits would have dipped a little bit, but general consensus like having lunch with them, they seem fine.
It seemed like, you know, still, no debbie downers still up there, which is what we need.
We don't want the players to get into their heads because historically, when our players have got into their heads,
we've seen, you know, 12 hours of wiping on the... was it silkencore or princess?
When we had that really low, yeah, silkencore.
Yeah, we had that 12 hours of wiping, but we're not going to have that this time.
We're going to see a kill within the next couple of hours.
I'm convinced.
Thank you Stull, that's a really really nice message.
You have this method Chin up,
you're most definitely Stull winners.
You had to overcome so much this race
and you did in spades.
You all should be so proud of yourselves, thank you.
We appreciate it a lot.
The team, yeah, the team have done really really well.
There's been a lot of support towards method this tier,
like even people coming in saying
I am rooting for Echo or Liquid mainly
but you guys are crushing it this time around.
I really hope you kill soon.
That's very amazing to see.
I mean it's obviously every race is very interesting because obviously you have all the three camps of fans, obviously with the three top guilds.
The funny and weird dynamic is also since Liquid and Echo are so direct competitors,
I feel like the Liquid people do favor method a little bit just because of, you know, obviously like demolishing Echo let's say like this.
to pronounce it better and it's like it's crazy like how much liquid to support we have also
gotten over the last few days and obviously like method has been here since like 19 years there's a lot of
very long-lasting fans here still and that is very nice that they go like trophic and fin
like the third rebuild already and like people are still sticking to method and to scores vision
and stuff so it's very nice every race to select how supportive the fans are. Yeah it's
been great like we even like you said we had max in the chat just kind of try to cheer us on and
stuff so was that today in the morning or yeah that was a I think it was about half 11 12 o'clock
um it was he was the one who was saying like pull 10 guys come on no food no breaks go hungry
pull 10 pull 10 so yeah it's been it's been an insane support like credit to you guys you've
been really really well behaved as well really respectful towards us and the team um yeah
you've just been fantastic so well done I think it really does show that the almost 20 year history
of of method building that loyal fan base yeah they're a really good community so thank you
you've been really supportive this raid um and yeah not just with like the the raid itself but
also with like supporting the channel and the the charity as well like yeah massive credits to
race of second and third. They know a lot already what they can do better. There will
be a lot of like improvement over the next few months. Yeah. And it's definitely interesting
to see how they want to try to catch up on Liquid again because right now the roster
looks phenomenal. And I don't think it was just like a one off. They looked already
very close in Amit Rasiel. This time they really bested everyone by a lot. And I
feel like both Echo and Method now there's a lot of room to improvement. And I don't
I think there will be any excuses made because I know Scribe and Roger are more than professional.
Same with the whole analysts and like officer team of method.
So I'm pretty sure the guilds know that there is a lot to improve just by themselves.
Yeah, for sure.
It's been great. Like our whole team has improved so much.
Like going back to Vault, how Vault like was a liquid and echo first and second
and then we had like a sort of a second win with fighting for third and fourth
and then uh and that was really close like between third and fourth, like a first, second,
then a fourth and then after that where we had Averus and that was we we kind of knew we were
taking third because it was the gap was still really big. Going into a meet or so we closed
that gap a little bit more and now in Naru Palace like that gap is smaller than we ever
And that just goes to show how much our team has grown from analysts to the raid lead to the players themselves.
I'm really excited to see what we can pull out the bag next here to hopefully close that gap even more.
If not, completely close the gap and take first and second.
Well, I mean, obviously I like your enthusiasm, but everyone knows that obviously I'm also a little bit biased, of course.
But they woke a beast again. Liquid made Ekko very angry.
I know how it was after we lost Nihilofa and Kassanathria.
I think after what kind of the best Ekko's ever that were out there existed,
or like the best version of the guild.
So while the gap right now is very small, I think like Ekko will be angry next year.
Angry and hungry.
The Club Out of the Venge.
Yeah, they will be very angry.
angry and I think yeah method has to be like on that house like to keep up with
the progression echo will make as well yeah yeah obviously we did improve and
that's what I always say the important thing is going out of every race with
something you know you did better but also with something you you can improve
because I feel like if you have no idea what points you can improve on your
thrust automatically but like I'm pretty sure can and the office that
he knows what's up yeah I just quickly want to point out that we have so much
more damage in phase one now because we're still trying to kill the boss here
sixty point two point sixty point two eight percent yesterday before we stopped
in phase three for a shell we actually faced the boss on like sixty five
percenters so from somewhere we just took almost five percent because that is
I see something going on with that.
Say it, whatever you said.
Repeat.
That's fine.
Oh, it's all gone.
Not all gone, but you had like a distorted revert effect, you know?
That was my voice, it wasn't a microphone.
No, what you were saying was really good.
It's a salad half neck to me.
It's a salad half neck to me.
No, definitely.
The phase 1 damage is phenomenal and obviously scrapping every percentage off in the phase 1 is very, very nice.
And I do hope we can make the damage chicken last place. What are you drinking this time? Is it strawberry or viscous again?
No, it's um grapefruit. Oh
They've never had grapefruit before so that taste was it took me by surprise a little bit, but
Great for it's right. It's great fruit. Yeah
Great food is always like this this greenish tone right this
No, you're mixing in drinks. I mean
nah not great great fruit is like like orange but just bigger and it's like
reddish in the middle yeah the food itself yeah yeah but like I feel like
isn't it like in a juice always a little bit like brighter no that's key
I forgot what I have I oh that's right I have a key be something ah yeah I'm
trying to drink as much of the other flavors as wholly as possible so I know what I want
to kind of maybe take home with me or get because I was never like a, we're going in
P3 nice, I'll quickly finish what I was saying, I was never an energy drink drinker like one
of these shaker ones until we got here and then we were spoiled for choice of like 20
flavors and now I love it, I love that you've got the energy and then the hydrate
They both taste really really good
But one is gonna give you that caffeine boost that you want in like the morning in the afternoon or when you start to slump
And then the hydrate you have just because you want it. Yeah, I like that a lot
Oh, we are in a really good attest guys
So we can see the party frames a little bit clearer. It's looking very good
We have started using the bloodlust on the set of five acolytes, which is very good because it stabilizes the rate a lot there
We just need to pray that no one dies or get one left, but we have a common rest
No, we need to make this a wipe, yeah, we just want to have anyone alive when we reach the bloodlust and then it's just big pump all the numbers.
Yeah, but not the same.
I'm not too sure what happened then, but was it the ads or?
I actually didn't see it.
I think it was adcast going through and also the spiderlings, exactly sure.
But yeah, and guys obviously we're also trying to fill like the talking term of also other funny topics because we have been on the
Sports side as you can see for
417 times so I think
Commodating over every single attempt would be equally as boring. Yeah
But we do have TS comms as well
So every now and then we'll go into TS you guys can hear the polls from start to finish with TS
But for the most part, yeah, we're just gonna yap until we hit that P3 phase
Insta ready check like like they all are ready to go every day yesterday
We went into the steel series listen and in survive
Yeah
Okay, did you wait to press it until you got into P3 or did you do it from like the moment they pulled?
No, no, we always when something happened like in face to be like when it's
Okay, that maybe that's the tactic though
Maybe you need to like give them the still series lesson in from the poll and then you have nothing to do with it
Do you do you want to do it for one poll next poll? Yeah?
Yeah, we can go from the start and we just shut up. Yeah
You guys are gonna be surprised and chat how little they're speaking in the first base and intermission
It's actually just a handful of calls and no yapping no chatting generally like this is so quiet
Yeah, I don't even think
Yeah, sure. I'm not gonna hear it, but you guys, and see how little they are into speaking.
Just close your eyes.
So you're running into oncoming traffic.
Yeah.
If you can't see the blades, the blades can't see you.
That's right.
Dodging blades into first debuffs.
You go side, I guess.
I'm reaching.
I'm reaching at orange.
And move.
Roots next.
And we're dodging blades now.
Dodging Blades again, at the second set of debuffs, which we'll turn and span.
Soaking now, and focused on Dodging now.
Moit Rally, and Personal Moit.
Roots next, Dodging Blades, last set of debuffs into Roots.
Dodging Blades into circles and soaking.
Let's take off to the AoE, next to Stuck.
B in Ritsidies, and damage now.
contact above done rally for the group and three two one push left is there for
some pros on some next group in three two one go left send some light yeah still

Mountain Monkey on the next platform.
Mountain Monkey.
The Tropes, now guys, the Tropes.
Spam out.
I'm going to the left.
Yeah, take a spider of course.
Then it's fine going next.
That's why I'm just tickling.
Fake symbol.
Boss is going to star pillar
and bait, bait, bait.
CC's on the adds.
Blade's coming here.
Careful.
Portals on moon and star pillar.
Blades.
Watch out for the essence.
Watch the balls.
We're getting blades here. We're dropping essences behind the boss, watch the balls.
Don't stand on them, and then bait positions.
Make sure people are topped. Watch my C.
And bait, bait, bait, CCs and blades.
Shackles are going to green, red to orange.
We play same as this. Tom and Rain. Done really.
You got blades here try and get a good bait. Make sure the shackles die.
Open back head.
All tools is one between green and orange and one at green pillar. Mele is getting gripped if you get it.
No mele's.
Get back up on Cresce.
And think about your essences now.
Paradox and crystal.
And him.
Don't go early.
Health pot with essences.
Shackles going to stall, raid behind, we have a res
Don't walk over these essences
Boss on top of the Shackles, raid behind
Ready to bait soon
Grab a shot
Grab
Make sure that Shackle dies, bait
No, but the essence is a million
And CCs
Make sure these adds die
Is it going again?
Shackles going to purple, raid is going to blue with boss
We're lusting and potting
Rally D with darkness to zippers, presence
Blades, be careful with these blades
Portals one is blue purple what is purple pillar?
They don't star melee, they don't star, they don't star melee, they don't star in front of boss, in front of boss.
Verb?
Backup.
Purple pillar the other one? You throw it on top of it?
We have a res?
Now you've got time, you've got seven seconds just dodge balls and think about what you're doing with the essences.
Don't get too close to boss.
When we're away from the portal away from the portal get away move crystal make sure we've got all stuff
Don't go in early fire away spiral
Put them nearly in a ring and do not stand on the essences now
Watch watch them dropping don't stand on them. He lost it. There's I guess and it's gonna be very
Mandate and I need to make sure I can tank get them back essence. Yeah
I get it
You keep on right you keep pumping now
Ready to grab stuff and run through the ring
Like it wasn't even any when you're clean, so we definitely have the damage we are so close to killing this
Maybe we are such a good poll because we didn't comment
Don't say anything. Oh
It was that point where it's like is this gonna be like a another kill on the method account, but but this the first one
We don't say anything like
No way wow
I have the damage for sure definitely a little bit miscalculating
I mean maybe we have changed up because he was spending his whole break figuring out where we can
find some damage, so maybe there was adjustments going on already.
We always find the damage.
How long was the pull? Anyone see a timer?
Chad, did you look at how long it was?
Well, I mean it was pretty much 10 minutes because she put it in the middle and that's the cost.
It's pretty much enraged.
And yet, like, two people dead for, like, fight some time.
Yeah, yeah.
So we do have the damage, but it's a close one.
We're gonna kill that exact game at 100 minutes, I think.
I was just saying what we were what we muted like how intense
It must be for like tank pop to track the boss around like you're responsible for
Bringing the boss to the ads to get that shield down so the ads are kickable
But you also need to make sure that all your melee party is safe like I would not want that
Responsibility that's like that's on another level entirely crazy crazy. Oh
Oh man. Let's get this kill.
Are they gonna get back into a poll straight away or do you think the adrenaline might be too much?
Cause I don't know about you but like my heart was pounding.
Are you going again? Oh thank you Kit and Stad.
Thank you Kit and Stad.
Wow, wow, wow. How incredible.
I think it would have been really really funny if we killed and we didn't come in the whole kill.
That would be so good.
No, no, T-Face tanking alongside Nate as well. The way that the tanks are the tank mechanics have been designed this rate have been one tank usually does a lot of the movement and handles like a higher amount of damage input coming from the boss.
And then the other tank is kind of just there for taunting and like, like picking up.
What is this copy page?
Oh yeah, it's a copy of Fast and Furious and Wildly.
For the blind, he's the vision.
For the hungry, he's the chat.
For the thirsty, he's the water.
What am I really doing?
So thank you for the sub, I sold him.
And someone else subbed earlier in the trial
where we couldn't talk,
so thank you all for the support.
Yeah.
Hashtag Mephashay.
We couldn't talk, he's saying it.
Rager me, we're sitting here saying,
if you speak, you're in trouble.
These two are actually chatting, Matt.
These two are chatting, hello, Matt.
I'm just sitting here, looking at the roster,
and I get it, you did this already and this,
you did this already?
Like that, like seven different topics
in this like 10 minutes.
I was just sitting here like, what the fuck?
Yeah, not gonna lie, yeah,
you just sat there all nice and quiet
while we were talking about shamans and healing
and like setting up interface and mouse over toys.
Yeah, we found a new puzzle toy.
You wanna know what it is?
It looks really really cool.
So it's a, you know the puzzles and delves that you get
that are like webs and you have to untangle them?
There's actually a toy called the Bling Trong Circuit Tutorial
and you can just bring up those puzzles,
those web puzzles on the fly.
And if you complete level 20, you get an achievement,
but level 20 looks insane.
Thank you Freya for two whole years already, thank you.
Oh damn.
What is this?
So Cali Vonga, one of our mods, clipped wildy looking at the camera, deadpan, I love it.
Very good, very good, I like it.
Thank you for clipping as well guys, appreciate it.
We've been hot on the social media recently.
Wait, is it the Legion toy?
Is that you?
People have been typing that.
Oh, really?
let's go team let's go yeah I do miss playing not gonna lie I do miss playing
it's very fun with several German warlocks oh Matze thank you for prime
you love prime subs hmm whoever has the red head looks dope great curses I'm
glad that you're still afraid that you can color oh cheers we should have red
here I can't color anything you can color your beard that's true
It's called Blink Tron's Circuit Design Tutorial and it's about 5K Aliocionals.
LoreGog, Puzzle, Struggle and Nassia Tavros.
Oh, can someone buy this toy and send it per mail to LoreGog in-game?
He's gonna get like probably a hundred of those now, but send it to him and then
Lorgok, you have to pick one of those toys from your mailbox and do it on stream, please.
I can't be there like this.
Yeah, no, we didn't go get the later hose and all the dindal. Very sad about that.
But they're not going for you.
Well, so I, you know, when we got the new best poll, it was like 12% this morning.
I was asleep. And if I had missed the kill, it would have been like,
I've missed every single mythic kill that method has had since being here
somehow so I decided probably it would be best if I didn't go down to town while
they were prog and this boss so the leader hosin and the dundle will have to
wait maybe we do it tomorrow fingers crossed go to sleep what do you mean go
to sleep I did go to sleep I'm I'm all good now I had a really nice sleep I
woke up at like 11 12 o'clock Liam was in my DMs like rage are you awake
yeah
i'm not gonna lie how do you guys feel about like i mean i guess uh
why isn't too far away like you didn't have like the longest travel let's say but uh how is it for you
because i have to say even though we are in germany i do would love to slowly kind of go home again you
know like i for some i i guess also because of being ill and everything like it felt a bit different
like time-wise but i think we had the point in progression like that we had also back in
in Sao Paulo, I'd laugh my normal bed, my normal surroundings, you know, like normal
routines again, because I don't know, I was in the hotel room today and it was not another night, please.
Yeah, no, I get you. I think it feels a little bit different when you stay in the venue though,
because like you're always around people, but I definitely felt like that last year in the
table four when I was in the hotel, because it's like as soon as you leave here, you're
You're kind of on your own and it changes like you feel a little bit like I could, you know, I could go home now and I would feel like a different kind of thing.
Um, I miss my dog, I think if I could, if I could bring my dog, I would be so happy.
And my mom is outside home, Leo, Api.
Oh, I feel like my dog, she would just sit here.
She wouldn't make a sound.
She would just go to sleep and she would be the best little thing ever.
I think we should try and convince them to sponsor like a like a dog or a pet charity
and we have a reason to bring dogs in
and cats
My friend voice talks about writing he really wants to come back to the discord
You know like he's part of my discord crew and I've not really been in there since I'm here
And he's like in German like he really wants to come back
That's a little pet moose. That's a cutie
one of them has a german accent
i do have two german accents
yeah but i think i have the accent accent
no i have the accent accent
i am the german in this room
the thing is i don't even have to talk like this to
talk like this you know like
very foreign germanic cologne
very from the soot gourd
that's why i said the travel is
we live 15 minutes from here
oh wow
What is the smell like?
I think Marios is having popcorn again.
True.
Look at him go.
It smells so good.
It always smells like...
There's like a vanilla protein powder that I have at home.
And you can use it for like baking and stuff.
I put it in my oats.
It smells like that to me.
Salted or sweet?
Like salted.
Really?
I hate sweet popcorn
I think salt, like a thank you, uh,
when it's off for the prime
I honestly think salt popcorn should be illegal
What?
I think legit it's like
I have to agree with that
What?
It's like
Sweet popcorn is the best thing ever
I think
That's not right
Salted popcorn
is like one of the worst thing humanity has created
like, unironically I think it's
horrendous
You are so wrong right now, you piece.
Wait, China is going for mixed popcorn, sweet and salty mixed?
Ah! Sweet, alright, we'll...
Oh, come on, that's...
No, no, check, no.
Yeah, we need a poll.
We need a poll.
We need a poll.
Let's go.
Malds, we need a poll.
Like, I mean, okay, I do look like I like sweet popcorn more than salted.
I admit that.
Because I'm a sweet tooth.
Sweet popcorn?
But I also like, it's the caramelized that you can buy in the store.
Oh, yeah, that's nice.
Oh, that is...
Yeah, toffee popcorn is also very nice.
But, so sweet, I went to the cinema, hey we got a poll up, go on guys you can vote, salt,
sweet, mixed. When me and Nate went to the cinema the other week, we bought a huge bag
of popcorn. I went for sweet because I know he likes sweet and I don't want to be selfish,
so anyway like he's eating it and I'm not eating any of it, it's halfway through the movie and
he's like do you want any? And that's when I had to bring the news to him that I don't
actually like sweet popcorn and I was buying it for him and he was like really
like chat over there at the top of your chat you have a poll going on please click it and say
sweet popcorn so it's ugly as queen I'm sure it's not true so I think we don't see Jeff but I
but I think salt is winning
I can't believe it
is salt winning?
salt is the only option
in my opinion
like sweet it can be okay but
it just doesn't taste as like
powerful as salt
salt can be really overpowering
but I do feel like salt
at least in Germany
like salted and germany isn't as popular like in many other countries like sweet is definitely the
default here really i'm like i agree with you we have sweet popcorn as a default thing uh but i
think if i remember correctly when we went to a cinema in norway there was just no sweet popcorn
i tried to say they just don't have that it's rare that they have it what are you doing
I feel like some of the flavours have their own water to scoop ratio that you need to figure
out.
Like some are too weak, some are too strong.
The first time I had Holy I put two scoops of it in.
No way.
That's overdosed.
Oh no.
So I generally think that for me personally they are a little too sweet like all of
them so I'm doing like half the scoop I think.
First serving, but I do agree that there's some there a little sweeter by default.
Yeah this one is definitely sweet. Have you guys got any f-
Salted one?
Yeah! That's what I'm talking about, see?
Salted is this. Have you guys got any favorite flavor of holly that you guys have tried already that you like?
Because when I go home I'm gonna want to take some holly with me.
I don't know why my friend from the discord is writing, what is your favorite disease, teamshade?
I'm not sure if he mistyped with the mobile phone and autocorrected.
What did he say?
What's your favorite disease?
What?
Yeah, I don't understand either, it's not even an inside or anything.
Plumber granite? I think this one's plumber granite and not grapefruit, actually.
That is true, I'm getting double the value because I'm using half the scoop on me.
I don't have a favorite Vodok spec, whatever, it's okay.
That is true, yeah.
Oh, favorite Warlock is Ease.
He definitely didn't mean that.
I know him too well that he didn't mean that.
My character is a snuff.
Yeah, nice transition out of P1.
On a P2, we're going up the stairs onto the second platform.
The second platform.
I'm not writing some NATO.
What are your mains? Main Warlock, One Trick, OTP, Warlock?
I never thought that was going to happen.
What's your main?
Vengeance, Demon Hunter.
Oh right, I remember.
Tank Cutter.
Incoming Main Digger though.
Yeah, hopefully. Yeah, M+.
I kind of want to push about a little bit.
Actually, anyone in chat who might...
I'll quickly say this so we can focus on the P3.
but anyone in chat who struggles with DPS, like maybe you aren't like hitting the DPS
that you're supposed to and like you want to play because you understand the mechanics
but like DPS just doesn't feel right, try tanking, specifically try Vengeance Demon Hunter
because the rotation is really small and the movement that you get with Vengeance
Demon Hunter is really like liberating and it allows for any kind of movement mistakes
So have a crack at it. It's really really good. I've been playing it now for like three expansions
And now I feel confident enough to like transition to a healer. So yeah, give that a go
They're really good as well
I really thought that you're gonna say if you're struggling with your damage output
And you're not dealing enough damage or the damage you suppose to then check out our raiders because they're offering coaching
Oh, it's true
I'll stop now. I'll stop. We did a really good pull. Good try. I'll stop. Please. I'll stop. I'll stop
It's just like both means stop basically
We do have fun better as we unfortunately just turn already or like I think too even but we don't need them anyway
Because everyone stays alive and we are gonna up the orange
Indeed right we have that transition over to the blue zone and we're gonna spread out
And we have the shackles coming out in a moment, so I believe we want to put these
Forward up the way
We just need to play the same way something over Nate's HP bar
Very scary
Look at this going down down down down to like 10% all the way up again. There's so much damage coming in
Yeah, it's it is very scary. I can imagine it scares the healers even more seeing that or
Maybe they're just so used to it
Alright, so we're gonna bring the boss over to the aculite, burn the aculite shields down
so they become kickable.
The aculites are responsible for doing a lot of damage to us and the blades as well as
they come in.
Is it blades?
Is that what we're calling them?
Webblades.
They also deal damage when they're close together.
You just get hit if you're standing on the line.
And it's a one shot.
So you don't want to get hit.
It's very hard to dodge them when you have the shackles going on at the same time because the shackles are dragging you towards them
It's like you just load and you can dodge a little less
But it's going well so far. I think it's the set of four Echolites that we are going to look at next
Oh no, there was an essence. Not being picked up
Oh by the way, it's a one shot
Indeed indeed
unlucky that essence just hit in the blue zone but it's fine we're getting there
consistently a kill is imminent chat we will see method down in Queen Ansaric
very very soon in the meantime you have us until the next poll that was it was
full full 20 indeed well now it's like race to like the least tries in the top
three right yeah liquid one that one as well it's
the least amount of votes but we're still a little bit below equitable count so we can at least be dead
yeah they really had a surprising high one actually back in my day in wonder
happened like this back in my day
I gotta say that Hot Pot Heroes on 4th place at the moment are doing really good as well.
Yes.
25% it sounds like a lot and it is a lot but it's close to the point where you want to press bloodlust
and once you press that bloodlust and stabilize the boss is just melting right?
So they're actually really really close as well.
Look at the Triamord already. Unreal.
Yes, they have a lot of pulls already.
I think if Jailer was more difficult than this boss I think Jailer specifically was easier than Queen.
I think the whole tier itself was a long one and very exhausting one, so I would say Sepulchre was harder than Neruba Palace.
But I do think Amsterdam is harder than Jailer.
What was Anduin's pole count for the World First Kettle?
I think Anduin like 150, 160.
Oh wow.
That's not too much.
I don't think it took too long on Anduin.
But also like initially it was bugged right in the last phase with like the stars not silencing, because they were like a little bit elevated.
Oh right.
that was like a big drama back then and I don't want to lie I think lots was like a
hundred hundred fifty like since it was a short time a short fight kind of
Rai Golan I think was like 200 and I think like Jailer 280 or something so
anywhere I can find the polkao do you think I mean method always had I had
like this method rate history website or like on the on the website itself like
this rate history thing then in all the kids is usually like the you know like
we had always back in the plug and with like how many tries already yeah maybe
someone even has it on someone posted it maybe yeah I rate history friendly okay
I'll go and have a dig is it would be cool just to say yeah even only 278
puts on Jella that's not too much for an impulse to be honest I don't
I think Jailor itself was particularly hard.
Wow, okay. Yeah, they have the whole raid history from vanilla release up until now.
They have to break their childhood first.
Actually, unless there's a second raid. Actually.
Ah, there we go. You have to go to the page.
Okay, we're going to cataclysm.
Okay, you have to like scroll to the bottom of the page in order to go to the next expansion.
Isn't that the top, like, the tabs?
I had like 150, I had a 16 in my head.
Hey, Sapolka, right?
Yeah.
That's Mausoleum in Germany.
Mausoleum?
I've never heard that word even before.
Really.
Oh no, Andy, it was another 50 or what?
What was it now?
Shout out to Paul, or did Paul make that website?
Probably, yeah.
Thank you Paul.
Thank you Paul.
I hate to break it to you, but I don't see Polk out I take my thank you away then
but I I have a different idea since there anyone like a small thing you think that a tournament
server for the race world first would be better for all guilds competing I think we've talked
about these kinds of topics a lot already and there's a lot of ideas and we obviously all
I think we know better, but I know I think having a tournament server and maybe like limited time per day
How long you can access that server? Yeah, would be a cool thing
But it surely brings some negatives with it as well that we are just not think
But the hundred was try hundred fifty three for a quick list
300?
153.
I think, I mean Liquid did get it first but I think had a few more pulls, but around that
ballpark, yeah.
And I honestly think, even though it would be wishful thinking for some of the hardcore
raiders, including me back then, a tournament room would do no good for the economy of
the game and for the players.
I think it's not good secluding the players away just for this moment pretty much.
Yeah, I also think this whole like doing split rates and farming gear, it's annoying when you do a whole week of splits, but it's just part of the race as well, because there's a lot more than just executing the splits with this as well.
It's like all the planning that goes into that, you can get advantages from it.
You figure out a good system for loot distribution and all that small things, right?
It's just part of the race as well, even though I could see a world where you don't have that because you've got the tournament server.
It's just all about skill and how good you can execute your strats.
But like I said, I think both have advantages and disadvantages
and there's truly a lot of things we're just not thinking about when you say
just make a tournament or it's that simple, it's fixing all the issues.
I don't think it's fixing everything.
Yeah.
On the other hand, Nerf Ovinax, please, my guild is stuck at 30%.
I actually watched yesterday at Longgog, like 1 try and it wasn't killed it.
We had 3 pulls yesterday, I think, and killed it.
I mean it was still quite tight honestly damage-wise but like the waspite itself looked quite
Forgiving is maybe the wrong word, but I think this is gonna be a wipe
Yeah, yeah, they are leaping to the deaths. It's all right reset good game
You know a couple of early wipes that all deaths we had one from rain and then unfortunately crystal got caught in the
web blades
That's fine. We go again
Yeah guys the global release topic is anyway like, we have this like every race.
There is advantages, there's disadvantages, it's highly specific to the tier we are playing in.
Because like how the bosses are designed, how long are the maintenance, how many bugs do the bosses have, how strategically is the rate, yada yada.
And at the end of the day, a lot of times it has been an advantage, but there was definitely also more
a liquid didn't benefit from it. And like in the end it would just be fair if everyone has the same
start so we also don't have any drama and these kind of discussions. Also yeah there was a good
point in chat with how people can get involved with splits so if you move it to a chat I'm
not sure if this is what you just said in which case ignore me but uh yeah the fan bases
they get involved in splits and they feel like they are a huge part of the progress when it comes to
the race for first. So if you move to a tournament realm, it completely eliminates
everyone who wants to contribute and help. So yeah, I think things like AWC and MDI
tournament realms make sense, but with the race for first, it's so community-cooperated.
It's like a speed run at the end of the day that is elevated by the community as a whole.
doesn't make sense to like separate it into two.
Global launch is great in theory but what the world is in flats of which time zone is
class global.
Well obviously the American because it's getting published which you will also see like in
classic cataclysm launches and stuff that it's usually midnight for Europeans while
it's like the evening for Americans stuff like this.
But like I said it's like a topic we can discuss about ever and ever and always
and always at the end of the day is in Blizzard's hands they have shown already that they have no
interest in doing it in a foreseeable future and the guilds I think accepted it by now and yeah
either like one or the other guild wins either way. We've had some charity donations so while
we're waiting for them to get a pull on I just want to say a huge thank you to Existence
I have these words and
encouragement for number two.
This was for this morning.
Uh, eat clean, try hard to test
your limits. Uh, what's
happening? P. S. Logo. I think
I have you from the legs
department. Fan of log of legs.
Yep. Yep. Thank you for the
Thank you for the $25.
I don't know if it's like yesterday.
I don't think.
$50 donation from Barn Dawn.
This boss is about to die.
Let's go method.
And then $10 from Kitten and Kitten's dad just came in
a couple of minutes ago.
So thank you guys so much.
Appreciate it.
Well, I think we're going into a push
and again the ready check.
In case there is other people that are thinking about
donating, we are donating for the charity, Movember.
i think it's a very important topic it's focused on men's mental health
we've already reached
all our original donation goals
but we do have a new one that's not on this chart yet
that is
then wearing nido hosen and rage dindal rain
in kirch yeah kirch yeah
on... what's the
gulf rat five
five thousand two hundred so we all... yeah we're very very close
And don't worry the dirty dirty by Lorgog, me and Skow will still be done, like the dirty dirty will happen.
Alright, oh alright. And then we have another charity goal, $6000 as well. Absolute Cinema, Skow deeptrades Lorgogs and Fragments, Jimmy is gonna join on that.
We'll do a cinema evening, commentating on Method's most memorable moments.
That would be cool. I think the combo Skull, Fabo, Lorgog and Joey is great. That's wicked.
So yeah guys, donating to an amazing charity, Movenba, so please if you haven't already
consider dropping some cash towards a charity we're fundraising for an amazing company
and charity supporting men's mental health and other health causes. We supported them in the
In the past, my friend and team have actually been in the chat all throughout the race as
well.
There are an amazing bunch of individuals doing some incredible things.
So yeah, throw some dosh their way.
If you have any to spare, of course, I really appreciate it.
This is the kill pool, right?
That's what I heard.
Facy just messaged me in the square and said this pool will be killing.
All my homies like Facy.
I always loved the discussions that randomly erupted in the chat.
Everyone is like so on their own opinion, it's right what I'm thinking.
If we're ever quiet by the way guys, it's because we are reading chat.
That's one of the things I see quite regularly. Every now and then people come in and they're like, wow, Casters actually read chat.
Yeah, we do. This is like one big stream. It's very personable in here compared to Liquid and Echo.
Those guys tend to be quite like professional corporate presentable kind of vibes, but we just chill with the chat
We thankfully have also chatted we can still read I think to be fair to the other cast of course as well
They're just moving a little bit faster
So it's like really hard to pick up on certain comments
But yeah, we have the luxury that we can read pretty much every
Every message so we try to also lay on that
That you won't read this I'm not gonna read it just because you said them
Yeah, like that last thing about global release as well, yeah, like because of time zones and everything, one team is always just going to have the advantage because unless you force NA or EU, whichever one the other favors to wake up in just like ungodly hours, then it's just, it's already just a disadvantage, so.
Plus I can imagine if they did a global release it would very much mess up
Blizzard internally with everything they have to do so yeah someone's asking
for your number. I actually had to check in the camera who's right
off us. Wait what? Asking for your number?
Not giving that one out. Yeah we always read your messages.
The fake habo hotel. Did you guys play habo hotel?
I have no clue what that is.
So it's like this online browser game and you can choose a little avatar. It's like three, it's like a eight bit, 16 bit avatar.
And it's a huge world with other people like servers and you'll go in and you'll just chat to them.
Pretty much like VR chat but like 16 bit, 32 bit, whatever.
But yeah, Habbo wasn't really something that I played, but I do remember going up to a bar tender and saying like, can I have a Coke please?
And then the NPC would give you a Coke and they'd stand there with your cat a Coke.
That was literally my only memory of Habbo Hotel.
But it came back recently actually, like Resurgence came back and a couple of my streamer friends are playing Habbo Hotel on TikTok.
live as well like multi-streaming so it's kind of cute I love it but Haber was
it was not my thing mine was I am VU if anyone chat remembers that yeah I
suppose you guys is like main chat games for like wow right yeah I mean I
Yeah, I did IMVU as well.
Yeah, IMVU is good.
Yeah, it was for the scene, folks.
You had like an in-game shop where you could buy different hairstyles and different outfits
and stuff to customize your avatar to look like you.
And I did a Shakira music video back then to one of her songs.
So I needed a Shakira outfit.
So I needed a Shakira outfit. I needed her outfit. I needed her hair
I was like eight years old and how any money so I did it in all E and I took my mom's
debit card and
I bought Shakira outfits
I did it was really bad
Really bad, but I felt a gang in you kind of like whenever we are casting I did notice like your
gang activity kind of like
It runs through your blood, you see it like from...
What do you mean, though?
Gang activity?
So, because I said I stole my mom's debit card, I have gang activity.
You're a real gang member.
I mean, I think we're like 12 years old married in Fiesta online.
My first ever watered I played properly.
With the pay-safe cards going into the in-game shop,
buying like the wedding ring you know having the ceremony and stuff
speaking of getting married and wedding rings have you guys seen the ring of
binding in game? no
so there's this ring that basically you can choose one person to bind yourself to
and you're essentially getting married so there is like for those of you like
members of minmaxing you do want to bind yourself to someone
pretty good
uh... but
for rp reasons you can get married to someone in game
And if you want to unbind from them, I'm pretty sure it costs gold.
All right. Yeah, let let me figure you are
with an eight and this spiritual connection.
Well, he said that he'd think about it.
Oh, you're not that fired.
Oh, he said he'd think about it
because he said that maybe you'll have to do it with teeth for the race
and that the race comes first.
That was something to unpack for sure.
That was a night on the sofa for him.
I think there's some funky bloodlust business going on now.
Oh yeah?
We do have, if you check Faithy, he has a bloodlust debuff.
A sated debuff so he cannot get bloodlust right now.
The whole raid had it.
And I was thinking why does the whole raid have a bloodlust debuff?
Maybe it's for the mages to have their personal lust on hold.
But maybe we are trying out now to minmax even more boss damage by pressing bloodlust for the whole raid at the start
So mages can use their personal bloodlust on full here without giving anyone else a bloodlust as well
Maybe that was a little bit of the reason why we were getting to like
Have the bloodlust safe with only around eight minutes because that's when we want to press it in the boss fight
I'm not sure I'm just you know
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Exactly, they have it before the pull, but that means that mages can press their own bloodlust
without giving the whole raid bloodlust
and then the sated debuff is gonna run out by the time we actually wanna press it for the whole raid
Right?
Yeah, exactly
Interesting
So it's basically the kind of, in a way, staggering lust to give characters almost two lusts
Yeah, but we only have two mages that get the bloodlust on pull in this case
because the whole raid had to save the team up and also just more to gain like a little
phase one damage yeah it's only on two players I I can imagine that maybe I think
echo did it I'm not sure if liquid had as well as well that more people going in
with the safety debuff not only the majors but apparently working with a
lot more boss than which in phase one yeah they've been transitioning to like
between like 60.8 to 61.
Yeah, what's up?
Everyone's writing dark shades.
Is it like auto-correcting?
Dark shades?
I kind of left the gang stuff behind. I'm not dark shades anymore.
I feel like we do need to get like more suns for next race though.
Yeah.
And now they're like, perfectly already.
We had like, I think what happened was at the start of the race
we had like the World of Warcraft soundtrack
going between the different expansions that was quite nice then we
transition to more of this like more poppy not poppies are like EDME kind of
music and now Marius has written a script so that certain songs play at
certain parts so when we pull we have like a script that plays and when we
die we have a script that plays
More energy, more passion, more passion.
Oh we have really good % sub 60.
Well I would love some Drake here.
Yeah, yeah, Drake would be great.
What's the plan?
Some falling in reverse, would be quite nice as well.
Okay, we'll just go for it when you kill the boss.
That script is being played very soon.
That damage going into phase 2, the intermission is insane.
Hey, yeah, we like to see that
See you were seeing at the start of the shift like we've got to find that 4% from somewhere and you're right
You're right. Yeah, we found that damage. We've always find it from somewhere damage has never
Been a huge issue when it comes to method like even said but so themselves like I heard from Biff
Damage is not an issue. Yeah, like we we find it
from somewhere. They're back pocket, they're just pffft.
The damage there.
Oh, we need more damage. I can press more damage buttons. I don't press half of my buttons.
I can press faster. If it's not Cat Jam for the win, I'm going to riot. Yeah, Jaylasti,
look, I agree with you. If it's not Cat Jam, it's just not going to be a kill, honestly.
Alright, P2, we have some, this is like a super spicy platform out of the three
of them we've had a one person down but a B res has gone out so you can see a
little bit better hair on these frames did Moe it did Moe it just go
insanely low did you guys see that or did he know I couldn't have died because
we didn't have the rest that was clutch healing from the healers there
wow but we did use some beer as it's already we did yeah I think I'm not
sure he went down but yeah someone just went down about 20-30 seconds ago but
that's okay we're gonna transition over to p3 really good percent on the boss now
we just need to stay consistent we need to be concentrating we need our movement
to be perfect we need to get those essences where they need to be and
transfer them across the blue zone and we need to make sure that we see see
those baby spiders. Those are nasty. The baby Spooders need to die and also the big spiders too.
We don't need that Comma Dress because we're just not gonna die and kill the boss. That's what's gonna happen here in this pool right now.
I mean they've done it time and time again. They know how to play this and they know where they need to be.
They know when to pop their CDs and do the CCs, they can do this.
You just need to stay concentrated.
Alright, focusing the Echolites in the middle now.
We really want to break the shields quickly so we can interrupt the cast
that prevents a lot of damage on the raid.
They went down as intended.
We're dropping the portals now while also dodging the weaponates.
dodgy dodgy dropping portals
Kill the last echolite look at how long this echolite is still alive
We're min-maxing damage on the boss here the echolite just died dodging some
Taking the essences with us going through the portal or jump over the line transcendence over it blink over it
Anything spread out right after
Looking good so far
Very good
And we are gonna get the next set of small adds and now don't look at Nate's HP because usually here it's dropping very very little
It's a little more stable this time. Yep
See we were moving we've decided to move the boss a little bit further away from the ads because we were running into those issues where we
Couldn't catch the CC on those ads just sometimes quick enough and they were causing wipes
So we made some fine tunes. We move the boss just a little bit out
Which does reduce cleave damage just a little bit, but
but again damage is not an issue for us as you can see those odds went down now we have
the second set of acolytes up and the shackles shackles are being cleaved perfectly we drag
the boss right on top of them now we're dragging the boss from one acolyte to another think we're
min maxing damage here again look the left the acolyte to the left is still alive we're
just kicking it so it's not dealing damage to the whole raid dodgy dodgy nade is dropping
super super low again. Don't die please. Yeah this is so important. We don't have a
D-Raz for 60 seconds so these guys need to play. Dodgy dodgy ball, pick up your
essences, once again go through the portal or blink over it, whatever you
need to do, spread out right after and I think the next set of acolytes is
gonna be the bloodlust already if I'm not mistaken. We have shackles going
to the side again, that's a lot of damage on the players.
Healers are catching up. He's very quickly. Nate is dragging the boss on top of the shackles to kill them off very quick
While not losing a lot of boss damage. That's next set of smalls booters spawning
Look at all the damage going out there
This is looking really good chat get some method emotes in the chat right now
This is gonna be it bloodlust is going out. We're gonna pump on those acolytes
We need to make sure that we get those down all five of them because the more that they stay up
The more they have the shield they're not interruptible and they are casting an insane amount of damage on the raid
It's looking very stable though. The raid HP is looking super super stable
We do lose one person, but that's okay. We have a battle res available right now, so we're gonna get that mage up
This is looking really good. It's looking really good
And now the hardest part of the boss fight is literally over and I'll just pump the boss
don't die and don't forget your essences dodgy dodgy balls 10% left on
the boss right now all they need to do is make sure they transition
and we're listening in to the steel
listen in
I'm just gonna sit with that other one
Perfect, I'm just gonna sit with that other one
Place them, don't walk over them, watch where they're dropping
It's just free damage on the boss right now
Queen Ansurek is AFK
We just need to get her health down
We're set up 5%
We need to burn that boss down, press all of your buttons that you can
4%
Keep something
3%
Chap, where are you?
Where are you?
We're meant to take Queen Ansurek
Keep melting
We need to survive this wave, and then the boss is gonna
There's no way look at the raiders getting up from their chairs. They cannot believe
This was so close zero point seven eight percent. We're looking at the new best
Insanely well played, but it wasn't enough. We're so freaking close to a kill
This is incredible. We're so close
I was just so happy the future was so enthusiastic because I saw like three people dead, I knew it was like a wife, I was just sitting here like...
Oh, you can see five people dead, I think.
You thought like they can still play the wave but she's already casting like a berserk then.
They were like 1% when she was enraged, I thought like maybe they still had a secret tactic.
I mean, Rave said that you can play a little longer than Enrich, that's why I thought you said...
Yeah, but like she bought it away and she's like channeling the cast that's the over thing and yeah
I can you still burn it down when she's traveling?
But during the channel of course, yes, but like the cast without them
Thing is
We want it so bad
Damage right yeah, yeah, even if one guy just died a little bit later. It would have been already way different
for sure for sure damn 0.7 is it 0.78 that we got that was close yeah well a
few tweaks staying alive a little bit longer from some of the DPS how about
we just find a little more damage in P1 yeah he's the boss in P1 with like 58%
What's would have been there?
How was that Caster Jinx?
What?!
He was him Jinxing!
I was quite!
Exactly!
Why are you always Jinxing?
If we don't cast
a play that close
then
you guys are going to wonder what the hell we're on the couch for
because I mean if Caster's don't cast
then I'm full like that
we might as well just not be here
I really liked our pull where we didn't cast at all and almost killed it as well. Hello, Liffie
Are you feeling?
Yeah, good. Yeah, I've never been on a couch before
No, never been on the couch for a killer. I've been able to speak before because the note
Like because I I'm obviously the newest babies apart from the logops. Obviously. I'm like the newest baby castor
I don't have as much experience as the rest of you. So I've never had an opportunity to actually voice
when we've been so close to a kill, I was like I was literally shaking I want
this so bad for the team like they put so much energy time and effort into this
I I can feel it I feel it I want it so yeah you can tell tell for my for my
energy yeah I mean I think if I if I would have talked like it would be so
much as I'm gonna say it rage in me I've read today right you're
Rating at 7. If we don't see the kill before we are rating, I'm gonna be so disappointed.
Yeah, I'll be so sad.
I'm really... So I really want them to kill it because then I get to go home.
But at the same time they also can wait another few hours because I'm up later.
That's what I told them already.
What time are you at?
I think it's Dan and me from like 8 onwards or something or 7.30.
Well, our shaft goes to like 1830, no?
Uh, half-eight, yeah, yeah.
I think I attack you as your rename.
Uh, wait.
Is it like 1430 to 1830?
I'll check for you, Fabo, don't worry.
Thank you, thank you.
I attack you, you should rename to I compliment you.
Thank you.
This guy really got me hyped even.
Thank you.
I'm not gonna, I'll let you guys in in a little secret.
I have been petrified of sitting on a couch when we've been near a kill.
specifically because we have like kind of hybrid roles this time right so like
host Alice Caster I just kept saying to like Darkmech like I don't know how to
cast a kill like if we do have the opportunity to go to a kill like how do
you what do you say what do you do what do you say so we just let out all
and a lot of shouting but it is what it is so next time it's my turn or what yeah
you're saying now you're saying now what do you mean next time it's my next time
yeah that's I mean like next time we are close to kill like it's my turn to do
the hype man and then it's like
hey guys shakin's the best it's like all right
guys 1% all right guys check in what's it you say all right guys it's 1% but
we have three people dead I just did the math we're not gonna kill them
then as a former radio you're also like trained into that like stay calm
until the boss is dead right and I get like just be quiet just be quiet you
were yeah you're like just stoic like no flame just like pristine the
concentrate all the way
Right, I'm gonna take a quick break after that. I think my
You can't leave mid mid kilpoh
How would you feel if they kill it now and you would get something to drink?
I need the toilet man
Is the toilet more important than the kill?
No
Do you want to see your boyfriend succeed with the team?
But I was like a parent, but I was like a parent
You really want to miss it? Are you sure about that? You know what that's gonna mean?
If you're taking your ice cream now, you're not gonna get thinner today. Are you sure?
I was like just speaking from experience.
That's okay. I can hold it a bit longer. If they can hold out a bit longer and not wipe in P3, then I'm sure...
A lot of nets I've been quite dirty deep.
Dirty deep. Blame the law.
Oh my word.
Oh yeah, I think we had another charity donation actually.
Let me just hit the refresh on that.
Was that, oh yeah, from Kitten and Kitten's Dad, $15.00.
Come on, Method, keep going, you've done an incredible so far, sending love and positive
vibes to you all.
Thank you, Kitten's Dad, we appreciate it so much.
Thank you, Kitten's Dad is here every single race.
And Kit was there as always a massive support.
When they came to my WAM-Lia in the UK a couple of months ago and they rocked up with the method jerseys.
I'm pretty sure. Or was it other jerseys?
But anyway, the point is that they are huge, huge supporters of method. It's really, really nice to see.
For the people also constantly asking if there's a deep shit to come back, I think with me it's more likely them score lower.
James I'll let him know if if you get it in the next five pull the next dog walkies
I'll get Nate's sausage for him sausage roll
basically
We us for we go on like dog walks and we go to a cafe and there's like sausage rolls and coffee and stuff
So we always get a sausage roll and we go for a walkie stay on there. So I'll let him know James. Thanks for that
Hi Kate, I think
Go, go, go, go!
Wait, did you mute? You didn't mute?
It's illegal.
Wait, maybe say something, Pablo.
I think I muted you.
Did I mute, Pablo?
Hello, hello.
I accidentally muted him.
That's the only way how you get to be quiet, yeah?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How was your lunch, Pablo?
It was good.
I devoured my pizza. I devoured it.
But after this race it's like back to full diet time, yeah
You can do it. I look like a golem right now. I'm so sad. Wait, what do you mean right now?
What do you mean?
Did you just diss me that I always look like a golem? Yeah, I think
I do some keys with me and stuff and now there's your golem
I'm on a diet as well. I've already lost 5 kilos. I'm very excited right now that we're so close to a killer.
And I would be really really really sad if we're not killing within the next couple of hours.
And I think the team would be very sad as well.
Have you been in the position like we are right now that, I mean now we would say the race is basically over because first place and second place is gone. I don't think that hotpot heroes are direct competition at the moment.
Have you been in the position and how does it feel to, to basically know you're just ready to get the third that already has your name on it but the actual race is kind of over.
It was every time we got to second right?
Like an ILO for a castle
Because back then like no competition was close enough
Does it do something with the motivation?
Is like the drive is a little bit gone but we're still playing obviously?
I think I'm one of these fiends that you don't like to have in the guild
Like when we lost to world first I could have been also world 100
Like I absolutely don't care at all anymore
Like first or nothing?
Yeah like I think
I don't think we have the same because
I think the goal was just to compete for this time around and we definitely did, but I think
it was not like all liquid kills now, it's kind of whatever, right?
It was still the competition between Echo and Method, but I just wonder if, I don't
think so, but I just wonder if the motivation is a little bit lower now that we know the
second is also an Apograps.
I mean that the race for the second now was surprisingly so tight suddenly that
There was a lot of hype. Unfortunately, we couldn't take that momentum with us and kill the boss, and now they know their third.
And I think it's like this mix of emotions with like, oh, we could have over-performed, so now it's back to our usual position.
And now it's like, whatever, we will get the third anyway, because obviously nothing and the Chinese skills right now, the difference is still quite huge in my opinion.
And like the third place is pretty much safe. So yeah, and also very good to your weight loss very well done
but yeah, I I think it's also a little bit dependent on the person of course, I think I'm always fun like
It sounds also stupid, but like at the time and I was in method I could be best so dominant at times
So like the one was expected so when we got second it was like a horrendous feeling
So I feel like I was also one of these like small losers, you know, I just didn't want to play anymore
But yeah, then we obviously had people like Norge for example that is not working for method again
He was like okay, we should show them though. We can do it in that time frame
But like the head start and like I didn't even care about it as much. So yeah
But I think our our guys and girls are professional after they still want to get it fast done
Obviously still nice to just get it like an hour after echo for example. So yeah, definitely
Greetings from Wiesmar and Rostock. I think we have a lot of Germans in chat. I really like that. That's amazing to see.
Let's go team!
This is the pool, is it?
It's just the overlay. We had like this one point something wipe and now the point seven something wipe.
and it's a good sign it sounds stupid but it's a good sign that we keep
getting to that spot this late into the boss fight dying to the enrage is
better than not getting to the end right so just stay alive it would have
been one more DPS being alive right we had three people that for a while you
said yeah if one more person was alive I think we would have had that zero
point something for them so this time we just don't die and we killed us easy I
also don't think like that our guys will have too many low percent runs I mean
obviously don't want to drink it but we saw it also have like a coin liquid they
both had like one sub one percent and then it was just to kill we actually
did have another donation coming in for our charity move that were it's
too key do you want to read it out because it's for you
of the pizza that's what you get for not giving out your number man.
Thank you so much for the 10 euro donation.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We are only 60 dollars away from our next charity goal as well, so you missed the
GM, it is Leder Hosen and myself in Adendo.
I'm actually surprised how long my shift is going today.
I think Liam did some undercover shopping.
I thought I was up to like half past six, but I think I'm like till half past eight.
You're up to one. Kill me, Shakespeare.
You know straight out of being ill, I get like the long ships there.
Yeah man.
Well we like less and less cast through, so it's longer ships now.
That's true.
I got a message from my friend Kate and James saying that they've had this stream up
since day one I think that's what she said which is yeah every day since that she's got
home and that's um Kate also works for our ghetto as well so yeah and obviously big sponsor
of uh echoes so just saying we have we have big supporters in the chat going back to what
we were saying earlier about how we have really good community from just wow in general
coming over to support us on this channel it just goes to show you guys have been amazing
Thank you so much for the love and support, the messages not just here but also in the individual
Raiders streams as well, exclamation mark team, if you want to go and check them out make sure
you give them a follow because after the race is done these guys are going to be making content on
both YouTube and Twitch and other platforms so if you want to go and support them further
after the race it's a really good time to go hit the follow button on all of their social
channels. There's a nice boss phase there, 60.65%. That's kind of what we're aiming for,
not as low as when we got to that. Yeah, we had a sub 60 earlier already. Yeah, not as
low as that 0.78% best try, but still low. That's where we want it. Still low and we
can still kill. I also have some regarded products at home. Yeah. Yeah, it's good.
this best I don't as a former professional streamer of course I have them the cam a light I
Even have like a branded stream as deemed a stream deck. Oh
Actually, I have a stream deck from them. So I do have mine is branded. What's how's it brought with what my old guild?
How?
Well dead partnership right so they oh
You can't be sad
That's Lush. They do do like faceplates every now and again. I was on that PR list and they sent me out a
Christmas faceplate was green with like Holly on it and stuff
But it was for the standard stream deck and I have like the big chunk of one
So could it use it? I was kind of sad about that, but yeah, their products are pretty cool
Fingers crossed maybe one day. They all consider us for a sponsored video.
It's not like a faceplate, it's on the thing.
Yeah, yours is actually built in, right?
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Kid, kid, kid.
You guys are going off the stairs with two combat dresses.
We'd like that.
Are they going for the kid?
Nah, they're just playing for funsies.
They're now stretching the race a little bit out.
Yeah, why not?
Yeah, I think the raiders just want to stay here
for a little longer because it's free food and free rings.
Yep.
lead camp is amazing so and you can get your washing done for free yeah yeah you're wondering
get your runes cleansed Marius is celebrating over there already says yay lead camp check it out
if you didn't get one three three seven camp in Stuttgart by Plingen but I think Marius also wants
to get rid of us already yeah he says big yes there he wants the race to be over so
So maybe kill.
It's looking very good though.
Like having both the combat rest here is a very good sign.
We know exactly what to do here.
I don't think there was any changes or input in week or us or all that kind of stuff anymore.
Just go again, pull the boss, you know what to do, just execute it properly.
Don't die, keep your hunters alive.
The poor little hunters that are just dying if they don't have any defenses.
We have the battle rest right now.
We do have to battle races right now. It's looking great. The first set of acolytes is coming. That shouldn't be an issue at all.
We are going to min-max damage as much as we can on the boss. So just kill the acolytes as late as possible to have as much damage as possible on the boss here.
Yeah. Looking very, very good.
Going for that last acolyte now. So we're going to finish that off and then we'll transition.
Let's have a little NATE POV, we do lose a warrior there, I think Dan is also an essence
carrier so someone else would have picked that up for him to transition it over to the
blue zone.
But that's okay, we're going to get him back up on his feet, warrior is pumping by the
way, they've been doing insane damage, you can see even with Dan's death he's still
top of the DPS meter followed by Moe, our other warrior, insane.
Yeah, we're gonna see another set of the little baby spirit is being dropped off
We're gonna ring a bell. Let's go on a trip. Let's go. Hey, there we go
All right, so the second set of accolades up now, right
So we're gonna pump them down
Insane damage going out raid wide when they when they get those casts off
we need to make sure that we kill them, bring the shield down, then they become kickable.
But like you said, that last best try we had, you said we were keeping the other one alive to
try and push the boss's health a little bit more? Yeah, I think we're doing the same here,
you see that Nade is also just targeting the boss, if you were targeting it yet,
he has a little more damage on that, but we're just passively cleaving it, like we have
a warlock for example that's just putting dots up on the head, or we have warriors that
They're just passively cleaving a lot of other specs as well. So just having it alive focusing the boss is a lot more boss damage
so
Looking good the next set of echo lights. Ooh, we just lost. It's fine. We got another better. Yeah, red Pali does go down
That's okay. So as someone else decides to have a sleep on the floor will be fine. Next
Have an angel
Fine, you get the rest going up.
27 seconds?
No, 30 seconds actually for the combat rest.
And we have a tank down.
This might not be the one chat.
This might not be, but we're still going to try.
20 seconds until our battle rest becomes available.
We're going to move the whole raid over to the Acolyte
and make sure we get these kicks out
because now it's more important than ever.
We make sure that we don't do extra raid-wide damage.
You see frames dropping really low there quip going to 20% but making it back up
You know, we're surviving we have a battle res available now
It's good timing. Maybe Chris lies can even get the bloodlust still
Because we already did last for the rest of the raid
It's good that we survived, but we're still why we didn't even rest Chris lies. No, we're not
Less here. We need all the damage
Help us and help us on this portal. Make sure we get them all. Do not go in early. Bait the blades.
Fire on please. Baiting blades, baiting blades. Do not go in early.
Stay alive. Don't dump everything on each other, careful.
Watch where they're dropping. Don't walk over them. Don't walk over the essences.
I don't think we have the damage.
come on to the ice castle
slounder
4% left on the boss
3%
pumping out all that damage on the boss
she is afk right now
we just need to send everything we have
into her going into some 1%
he's ad-direct going down
she goes into the middle for that and rage
can we beat that timer
take that
oh you were here
how did we have this damage
I can't believe it!
We did it!
We did it!
We defeated it!
We have been defeated!
Let's fucking go!
Let's go!
I love the fact that
at like 13% both of you
went like full gamer stand.
We don't have to listen in at 10%.
We did it!
At 5% there's three people dead.
Reuben already like, I don't think we can manage it.
Method has cleared world third and that with one healer down, insane performance from the healing team. Insane performance from everyone else. I was here.
You know what, chat asked for that three healer. In the end we got it.
You got it.
You got it.
That was great.
Let's go.
the end of the year. It's
been a really good one. It's
been a really good one method
and insane performance from
start to finish. It has been a
two month progress session
from them. Starting from the
expansion launch going into
that split week. We've been
hit by covid. We've been
hit by a high A us, but it
doesn't stop method from
getting world third so so
close. It's been insane. You
They're just waving, getting a beer!
The crazy thing was, are we?
Can we go say hello to the players?
Yeah, we can take the microphones with us, right?
Oh, we're waiting a second.
The crazy thing was also, actually it was my turn to cast, right?
It was my, it was my try, it was my try.
Alright, we're gonna head over to the other players now and see how they feel.
And get their reactions.
Yeah, we're ready. Let's go.
Let's go. God, they must be feeling amazing. Like, you know what? They must be feeling amazing.
We are going to the Raiders room. There's a lot of yapping going on here.
Our co-casters also here.
You don't want to yapping here, but Cruella is not yapping at the moment. Cruella, we did it.
You were sadly on the bench. How happy are you?
I'm so happy. I feel so relieved. Now it's like vacation time.
Finally going home?
Yeah, I'm looking forward to pet my cats, honestly.
Oh, everyone's just happy to go back to their cats.
Faithy! Faithy that came in as the savior.
Yeah, my savior starts coming in lines and dying.
Did you die at the end?
I didn't die at the end.
Amazing performance. The progress we had the last couple of hours.
of ours, same. Let's see, can we find, can we find crystallize? We need to, we need to
chat to crystallize the healer. Crystallize what happened.
I took the portal late and I panicked walled and I had one second on my wall for the
shackle and I did one shot. Oh no. Amazing performance by the other healers though.
I have to say I didn't I didn't believe guys you did good as well though. Wow
I have nothing to say nothing to say
Are you not disappointed that this man over there? He played good all the prog I think this is the best series played oh
He's in star rewatching his death. That is that is dedication that is commitment. I
I think we are just giving back to the studio, we just leave the raiders, be the raiders and just celebrate their win, just look at stuff in the background here.
We don't want to disturb too much, so let's go back to the studio and I'm sure we're going to get some of the raiders to the couch at the later point.
Do you want to join us, Patey?
All right, I think we're gonna recruit some players over to the couch to get some some more
feedback
Welcome back. Yeah. Well done. Well done. We're joined by big bro and little bro everyone. Yeah guys. Hello. Hello
There you go, so I mean GG that was great
We uh, we honestly didn't think that you guys would have had the damage
we had that enrage coming in like you both you were sub 1% right it was it was
tight did you feel like it was as in intense or with your eyes just focusing
on the boss's health until the boss hit 1% I didn't look at the health oh really
I was too focused on everything else I did not care I'm not gonna lie I mean
we mean already about it and like 5% both then went like really sure if it
would be a kill and like I wasn't sure either because like I feel like you
You guys had better attempts beforehand in terms of percentage related to the time.
I was just like, just go on cast, and I think you were like off like one second off the vibe, right?
Yeah.
It was like on the edge.
Exactly.
And I was actually surprised how much you guys pumped in the end.
Yeah.
But yeah.
I think it was like considering we had like people dead, right?
Yeah, yeah, dead.
Sorry, I mean like.
I don't know, bro.
I gaped that boss.
You look at my damage on that boss, it was unethical.
You guys did amazing. Well done. It was such an insane performance from start to finish.
I said to chat and I'll say again, you guys have come leaps and bounds since the start
of Dragonfly. I mean, you must be so proud of yourselves to get it down, having such
a close race. It's been so enjoyable from start to finish, by the way. All of us
casters and the chat have enjoyed it so much. So, yeah, you better be proud of
yourselves.
Obviously it would have been nice to take the second home but we were hot on their tail to say the least.
It was. I mean we gave them a run for their money at least right.
Like they were stressing at UCD yesterday.
They went to 3M.
Yeah, they literally did, yeah.
They normally got a better 10, yeah.
So no, no, it was like 233A.
There she is. Something like that, yeah.
Ansarac is dead.
See you later, kid.
Yeah, it was an amazing race the world first. Well done guys, like incredible.
Was there any point in that fight where you thought like, you know, good pole gg go again?
I mean, because we saw one of our mages down I believe and then also Crystal went down.
One of our healers. I mean, how did that get pulled off?
Honestly, because it was Tief and Crystal that went down, right?
I teached Sorya.
They battle as Tief, and I almost said don't bother, because there was no
tank swap left it was just the end of the flight but we had only teeth and
crystal data I think so it didn't really matter who got the res crystal didn't
yeah I mean it was the better call like he wasn't really needed at that point yeah
if it was like a DPS third then I would 100% if something had happened you'd
died and we didn't have a backup tank you know I can't kill him.
So...
Just gonna look at all the stuff like the game for Hunts and Hunts.
You're all in Storm for the 50 gifted Serves.
Thank you so much.
That's for you guys.
That is for you guys.
Well done.
Alright, when we had lunch break, Shadow told me...
Is the microphone working?
It is.
No, it's not.
It is working, right?
There you go.
Oh.
It is working.
So you take that.
Shadow said we have to find some damage from somewhere.
You said like around three percent.
Did we change anything or did we just magically find the damage?
I saw we did something with bloodlust on pull so the mages can have personal lust?
No, it was only for verb and for nurse, so they had less on pull.
That was the only change we did?
They don't have like, at least verb doesn't have like...
That's not on.
Hello?
We can't hear it.
I'm not production.
Oh!
Oh it is on.
So I was saying...
Verb doesn't really have insane uptime at the end when we lust, like he's doing a lot of dashing around
so him getting the lust on pull with potion and everything is really nice for him.
But I don't know, we just conjured up some damage right in there.
Hey, we're gonna join us!
Come in!
By FTM, welcome in!
Dan!
Dan!
My second favorite warrior!
You were pumping on those meas at the end by the way.
Yeah, it's curved.
Well done, well done.
Enemy damage done to Gloom Hatchling.
Insane.
Disco dancing through those blades.
Yeah, the warriors were kind of pumping.
It must felt really good being at the top of those ears.
Yeah.
I mean, it's all pad damage.
Like, a lot of it is pad damage anyway.
But I mean, someone's got to do it, you know?
Someone's gonna do it you don't have to put it on
At some point yesterday
When we were trying to find find some boss damage
I believe both evokers decided to go for like more DPS and then they pressed their healing cooldowns and
Then it was just like if they die they die
We uh, that was good time we had quite a lot of comments actually in the chat for you FDM about why is this?
Why is this a voker throwing?
You know, why is he throwing? Why is he turning around and doing healing to no one?
Now that we actually have you on the couch, can you explain to chat what that was?
I want to press consume flame on someone who's in a good position and I just guarantee it on myself and go in a good position.
There you go.
Dream Breath does not heal enough, I would rather consume flame everyone so people are full HP.
Imagine telling Wildeed, hey you have Dream Breath, go in a good position.
I thought it was just his bad aim.
I don't know why I know.
I missed it, I would sometimes rescue you
into good positions.
Ah, we do, yeah.
Give me a minute.
Am I back?
You're back.
We do have a mission for our Raiders here.

VCU would be nice.
I mean, how your keyboard is looking, I mean, I don't want to see your chair.
Wait, what's this keyboard like?
So, when I'm using one of those school keyboards for like 2000,
you know, the HP keyboard she had at school.
Yeah, that's a...
There is no way.
And the man has the other keyboard, he just refuses to...
There we go guys.

Yeah spam the word M-Way play life.
We're giving away a Gigabyte Aorus Gen 5 SSD, a Gigabyte Aorus FQ27Q2 and the method White Jersey.
Which by the way in case you guys didn't know almost didn't make the cut
cut because uh... boss months
jerry's is not best
we proved him wrong
stores everyone
i have some chocolate on my white jersey
i think it was great
oh that was cool
that would be really cool
alright just
he's gone now he ran away but
he has a steel series
Keyboard I believe from our partner, SteelStyle, why isn't he using it?
So FTM is a being of all time and he's Danish, I can say that because I'm also Danish, AOE damage to myself
So yeah, I don't know, he maybe took one from school when he was like 5
And he's just used it ever since, never broke, old school quality you know
FTM was there when it was all created
Yeah, I mean he's like one of the youngest in the guilds of American Elder
the first keyboard HP ever created. It's born in the school library. That's true. Actual lawyer.
Now, here we go. So, what's your guys' plans now that the boss is down, huh? We've got a...
Back in raid 1, 2, we're gone. Back in raid prison, yeah?
We're going back. We were probably already in group final, yeah.
I mean, it's like a split character trash farm.
That's actually a thing guys, you're laughing with us.
Oh, we know.
Manu thinks we're joking about our passion.
That's crazy actually.
I mean, if we throw back to like two tears ago, you guys down the boss and then you were
gone straight back into the race, right, for a re-farm?
Oh, that was an overload spiff decision.
So, do we think that's going to happen again or is he going to let you...
No, there's literally no chance.
Expansion launch is quite taxing, so it's been it's been a long time like we've been going with preparation and everything
It's been like a month and a half a good six weeks of like all day every day
So I think it's time for a break
You and me afraid today
really sad about that. There's going to be a party going on I think.
Maybe my amazing off tank Valdun can step in because he's way more incredibly talented.
A lot of presents to write into a new one.
Yeah do you want to write a roic actually?
Maybe you can do some solo tanking.
Oh amazing. But yeah so I hear from the great vine actually there are going to
be some celebrations for you guys I think Liam is currently working on something right
now I don't know if he's told you but you are going to be rewarded finally you're going
to have some chill time and also you guys in chat have smashed out our charity goal we
do still have two charity goals remaining however we have some fun things for you guys
to do while you've been working away over in the raid we've unlocked some exciting
things for you to do. Fear Pong is one of them so you're going to be playing Bear Pong
instead of well as well as playing Bear Pong.
You guys are going to be doing Truth and Death.
You have to keep Little Bro.
You're going to have to nominate someone to drink for you.
I nominate Little Bro.
Why are you thinking Greg Person again?
You're Little Bro.
No, actually he's Little Bro.
But you can't change it.
But yeah, so the other thing that we have as well is that we have to dress you in all orange.
So I said we should dye your hair orange and put an orange t-shirt in you.
Oh yeah, it got in you!
So basically we had a charity go where we rolled the dice for the raider and the raider
unfortunately we got was you, which was quite funny.
Then we rolled again for the challenge that he'd have to do and it was just
turn that radar as orange as possible and given that he already has dyed hair I was like well we
could just dye it orange. Well cheers to science. He's just accepting his phase right now. Contemplating a little bit.
We're lacking the light filter on Nate right now, it's zoomed in, there's literally just space.
But yeah, what else did we unlock? We unlocked quite a lot, Robin, over the last two weeks.
We did extend our charity work and just show it quickly
Yeah, we showed all your baby photos on the screen
Let's go and law got cat to get who was who they did they get any one right?
They guess you straight away me and you they got instant
I think they struggled on you
I think they confused quet with Dan. Oh, what?
minute left on the giveaway, by the way, I'm sorry. Just tell him no. As long as you have
your feet under my table, I'm going to be a warrior. If you saw the melody and answer
like you would assume they are hive mind. We had to be. We had to be or we just died.
There's one set of webplades at the beginning of P3 where you just kind of walk and hope
you don't walk into one. That was my favorite part. That's good. You just kind of walk
forward and hope that there's not one spawning in front of you. Like I said, it's like walking
through oncoming traffic. Hope that you don't get hit. How much adjustment was there actually
for final boss when it comes to the melee party and you Nick? So obviously like you're responsible
for kind of putting them in the right way. Like I had so many minor adjustments were made
all the way up until like late yesterday. Like it's one of the bosses of all time in terms
the tank woman it was definitely a bang a tank boss last phase like I don't know
it's so precise like you need to be so precise like I especially love ring of
piecing and the ads walking oh yeah that was that was a classic congratulations
Zefi you have won the gigabyte bundle the SSD the monitor and the white
jersey one of the mods will get in touch with you there and whisper you
So Tank got a lot of minor adjustments from movement and stuff but what about healers FTM like how was the healing for that boss fight?
Did you guys have to make a lot of adjustments or did we pretty much?
I wish FTM would have.
Oh where is he?
He left like 10 minutes ago.
10 minutes and enough.
Can you answer for FTM instead?
Absolutely.
My favorite part of the healers was them swapping to DPS dance to do more damage than the entire raid dying
The healers took it as a challenge that they weren't doing enough damage
It got to a point where we were like okay guys you want to push damage just just do it right and then
The healers just didn't have enough throughput with the talent swaps to heal mistakes
So
Yeah, Intimation became very spicy. Even the start of the phase, like the first set of bombs, I could never use defensive side of me.
It was the equivalent of like free healing in terms of like throughput. It was rough trying to do that.
Yeah, but they did 280p.
Oh, did they actually?
They did a 100k more today.
That was the buff percent we needed.
I think Crystal ended up swapping for good because it was such a minor and he did way more AoE
I did love Crystal being like six pies on our gloom hatchling damage
Crystal like holy firing the one gloom hatchling that was left behind
I actually want to say that like obviously me and Faithy have been in methods since the rebuild and this is probably the best healing roster we've ever had
Oh, yeah by a country mile. Wow. I don't think it's even remotely close. Like I
I felt so safe. I felt so incredibly safe with these healers and I mean I play hunters. So I have no comment
I didn't I'm a time
I mean never more iconic do and directly on saying watch the hunters. Yeah, that's right. That was my life
I think that the last pull was the only pull in the entire year by like 400
However, when it was why I went into the final area of last phase with health bar and health stone
Yeah, yeah, like and of course Ragnar like
Drain your as a beast when it comes to
God on the shackle set yeah, yeah, yeah, so on the final shackles we have
on the front
You're just like on the final shackles
We have a bunch of healing cooldowns to keep everyone alive and he calls them individually
So we have like five yellow cooldowns at that one point. So he's just like
If you go back and hear our comms you just hear him like M&M rap god
Guys we are being joined by logo. We need at least two people to leave the couch for his face
I'm on the side then guys
People belong on this high level.
But Holland, wasn't it not like a week or anything in place for that part?
Or was it just in case there were so many week hours for you guys?
We've never had.
Really? I don't think we've ever had week hours specifically.
We have reminders.
But in the heat of the moment, people will miss their reminders
and I think it's always easier to react to a voice calling for your stuff
than it is to react to something on the screen.
A lot of people, me included, just listens to Dragneo.
Like you actually just kind of like ignore sometimes,
like the reminders entirely.
And like my voice is just,
by here before Dragneo says something,
it just happens kind of.
It's like the whole reason
for having an external raid lead in the first place.
Yeah, you can have all the information you want
in front of you and on your screen.
But if your eyes have to be going like
in five different places at once, then,
you know, you're gonna miss something.
And it'd be much better for someone to call
what you need to do than to have to react to it.
Huge shout out to both Beth and Dragnea by the way.
Yeah, they're so good.
It seems like your whole, say like external team,
I guess the people who aren't in the raid,
have been incredible this time around.
From your tech, we can show it,
but we can see you guys using your replay tech.
So from that to the WeChorus,
to your calling and everything like that,
It seems like you had a really good team this time supporting you.
We got some really good Noggy and Permock joining the roster has been phenomenal.
Noggy's team is absolutely...
Shelo showed me earlier, he said, look, if you want to see how faithy that, you just click here.
And then there's a clip of faithy like that.
I've felt extreme lines so many times, because usually when something goes wrong,
you have to go to a specific player's VOD and find the moment.
but with the replay tool it's almost like instant it's like so much time you just refresh real quick
and then you know you can find out what went wrong see what went wrong see it like happen
live again you see what pool count it was you see yeah that that is so good yeah so good
it's insane yeah well well done on that honestly it's it's been an insane performance from the
top to the bottom um i saw a question in chat actually about signed method jersey so yeah
Now the race is officially done for method the sign Jersey is going to go to storm warning for the top
Gifter in the chat
207 gifted subs. Oh, we've had an insane hype train by the way
Like the support in this chat has been insane and also top charity donator as well for 1,000
Are you watching right now?
What's the matter?
Robin? Yes!
Da da da
Hey, in the chat right now there's like value and feel
saying that I'm not allowed to be absent in the raid
I'd be tired of seeing you
What a shame you're about to be mysteriously ill
Oh it's okay
I really can't actually
I had like a sweat
What I want to say, I did bring boobs for another booboo.
Also, you'll be having to know that both Kate and James
have been watching the streams and thinking about
from holiday, James says that,
because you've got the boss down today,
the next time we go on a dog walk together,
he's going to buy us a sausage roll.
Hey, let's go.
Yeah.
I didn't see James, like, because obviously we don't
read our chats and I've always had my OBS
minimized for the most part, except like,
I'll check it in between pause sometimes,
if it's like that's illegal that's illegal that's illegal if we're yapping I'm telling you shut up
so I did see his name in chat and it was kind of cute yeah
you guys streamed as well right on your own channels throughout this entire process
did you stream that little bit of Hearthstone that you went on your shoulder
you know it was great we were having uh kids I think you for the gifted
serve as well um in between polls we were tabbing through to see your Hearthstone
progress. I mean, literally, literally went to me like, go on the couch. They want to hear about your
heartstone. Yeah, we did. We did. It was because I was like watching stuff on my other monitor, right?
So it doesn't show. Yeah, you guys like in the, in the middle of the
communist era is actually insane. Oh, like the four day ban into covid vacation,
Willing to go into the into COVID and then all of the like unfortunate
issues that not even people just that the venue of experience but like all
the culture of the storm like on ironically sitting in the middle of the storm
middle of a tornado
his culture is from where sorry
I think it's a bit better with the thing, right. Yeah, but yeah, it's still not you guys. Yeah, like, you guys have gotten through so much COVID took like half your roster out through all of that then always look teppy this
I've never been happy ever.
Like everyone is super sick and it's not going good, you're stuck on like P1 wipes the whole evening, then camera, oh then it's smiling, then it's laughing.
Silkencourt was my time to buy it, it really was, I loved that boss and I was just happy the whole time.
not sure I like to answer it quite as much but me and Dan found a tag yeah to keep
each other happy yeah I have a question simple as that who was the chewing gum
dealer I turned around during like the last hour or so and I went to Dan I was
like you know it's time and he was like he was like no I don't and then he
picked up the pot and there was one left and he's like, here you go, bro.
Oh, that's right.
I popped it.
And easy kill, honestly.
That's right.
I'll half pump.
Wait, you had the chewing gum, the last chewing gum in the tub for the kill?
Oh, yeah.
Damn.
You've had chewing gum like every single race that you've done since being with
Method, you've always chewed gum.
It's so important.
It's kind of like stress reduction for me, honestly.
Yeah?
Sounds like you're like, you stopped smoking or something.
It is like when we had to be like 1% wipe like my hands were shaking. I turned around to Dan
I was like, yo, you got any training on bro? He pops the last one in my mouth and
reaching across
Was it quite so sensual?
We're actually we're actually lady in the trumpet
Oh
Cute also, I just noticed that was poll number four to five for you guys talk about landing on a nice number
Yeah, we would kind of
Yeah, well, yeah, you wanted to watch out the boss. Yeah, I would have been nice
Like oh yeah let's find some weak aura tech here, you know what's the timers?
The boss probably would have died sooner if we used spells linear, I don't know
Yeah that was sadly nerfed after incident right, but I'm not touching that one
I mean I think Liquid played really well this tier
Yeah Liquid did play really good, especially on last boss I think
They played very good on this one
Very impressive performance I think it was very very good
They definitely pulled it out of the bag and answered it.
Oh, yeah, 100%.
They they they just like I thought it was mathematically impossible to kill that boss and suddenly they just found 15% boss damage.
I just want to say from the very beginning, I thought the boss was killable.
I thought it was going to get nerfed, but I thought it was killable.
I'm just saying from the very beginning, I was saying that.
I was like the receipts on my stream just saying I would be really interested to know if liquid at the time that they reached like the end of the fight, if they thought it was killable.
I think they did.
I loved another place order.
I mean, I think maybe when they saw the first time, they were like, hmm, you know,
she did some crazy work when it came to splits, especially she was the main main responsible person.
Is he in the text that she got in the discord channels?
I don't know how she did the next.
And then I set up the splits back in regards to the helpers, but we also had like Turtle
and a couple of others behind Turtle, Tom, and I think a couple of others working on
like the actual splits set up behind the scene.
And I don't know how they did it, especially with our four day vacation, but we came out
very strong from splits, like we, it was very, very good.
It was, I don't know, Turtle and Mr. Biff cooked some crazy stuff off of those splits.
Yeah.
Great job from the analysts.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was a hell Mary all or nothing and they made it work
Yeah, I mean they basically had to make seven days worth of content like happen in four days
Yeah, and they somehow managed to pull it. It wasn't even I had a feeling that it wasn't even super stressful
It was like, oh, we're kind of done with this blitz
We didn't
I mean it was the only way we could make it happen right?
We were definitely done ahead of what we thought we would be and it definitely wasn't as hard
as we thought it might have been given the time that we had.
We also thought we had to PvP way more but it ended up being really really chill.
I did conquest cap on three characters.
I didn't even need it.
Yeah but you should have like me and Koltra, shout out to Koltra my 2v2 partner, flair
gang and the warship players, we figured out like very quickly that oh we just
to win three games because we didn't need any kind of like I didn't I didn't
realize that I didn't need conquest cap but I sent the full conquest cap on the
three characters regardless yeah it was not fun so question for you guys right
holy have you been drinking it throughout the raid it's like squash
but with a lot of caffeine flavors peach I think my granite for this is
I think it's called yeah, so there you go guys favorite flavors from holy if you want to go and check them out each one of these guys and
Royburn all have discount codes as well, so you can get 5% off
I believe using code method 5 emanate 5
Robin 5 I think you can also get 10% off
Which you need to do demands right if you buy it
something that's more expensive than 50 euros you probably want to use the 10% if
you buy something that's lower than 50 you want to use the 5 euros or dollars
so you get 5 pounds off your first order and then 10% so there you go guys if
you want to go check it out feel free to do that but yeah you can support these
guys directly as well and before you guys disappear anywhere although I don't
expect you to disappear anywhere I don't know I just hit need on everything
I know that FTM got the mount, but that's all I know.
You got the mount?
FTM.
Oh, no.
And he doesn't care about it, but he learned it anyway.
What do you mean?
You have to explain.
Oh, no.
You have to prove it.
You have to prove it to me.
That's my hero.
Oh, no.
Oh, that's so sad.
That's my hero.
That's my hero.
That's my hero.
So my question, right, how did you feel about the raid overall with like the first
four bosses being one pull apart from whatever you did on that first boss where you kind of just
blasted the edge, like, honestly.
Right, we had the best take for that first boss and if that had been pulled off properly it
would have been phenomenal. It wouldn't have made a difference since everyone killed it in one
pull, but it would have been sick. And it made for a great moment.
Do you think it just didn't work or did they hotpicks it?
Bro, no, we had a very rarely, very rarely it would happen, but I still think
I think it will, yeah, on Baylake, it will also happen on, no, not always, given everything else that happened, there was like four people who lived, right, so...
Dan will get more of a cut if he uses code, yeah, right, but just to, for more context for the audience, who didn't get to see the first happy birthday, for the first boss, can one of you, not at the same time, but one of you explain what happened with the boss tech for the first one that went wrong?
some people who missed it.
You go, you go.
Me?
Okay, so basically what the tag was, that there's like some corners on the edges of the room,
like a circular room with some triangles that goes out.
And what you could do is that you could bait all of the small adds on top of the boss basically,
if you stood out there.
And it basically made you immune to the charge, because you were actually like outside
of the boss arena.
Yeah.
So we would just stack like outside of the boss arena and you know just bait.
And for some reason it did not work, it worked on the first charge, it worked on the first charge, and then on the second charge it was not so much.
I think Jon might have fixed it mid fight.
I'm still convinced that that's exactly what they did, because we all simultaneously lagged for like a second, a second and a half.
We all got knocked off.
Really, I didn't actually...
I think the raid was actually really good to me.
I think for everyone other than the race world first guilds. It's absolutely terrific and awful
I think once you get past the first four bosses. I think
I don't know what they're gonna have to do some like outback type stuff to fix
Oh, yeah
They're not gonna be recognized
Needing double blood decay on oven oven axe for example needing
Solo tanking
Silken core just as a whole
A lot needs to happen to make this red playable
I mean they are introducing the 5% like aura
I'm not sure how much that will really do though because like it's fine when it's
I mean it won't be enough like the boss needs nerves right but like when eventually
we'll have like five stacks of it right? The problem is when bosses when bosses
have problems that are mechanical not numbers and I think Overnax is a prime
example of a boss that just has mechanical problems and that aren't solved by
just sheer numbers. I mean that one just needs a week order. That one just needs a week order and then I think like you can
literally just bruise for it bruise for it eventually right like if you do a
mistake of care she do 25% more damage and healing a week or someone mentally
ill enough to mark every single egg four times every wave you know there is
someone in you because we've had both twitch and YouTube chat this time around
by the way you to chat have been very like professional talking about
numbers never feel like that's been great great cut like transition not transition
juxtaposition between twitch and YouTube but anyway Patrice in the chat says
preach it man there are 680 through guilds currently progressing overnacks we
haven't seen a wall this bad since gold like gone fielding we've actually been
keeping track of how many guilds have gotten past overnacks and how many
haven't and it is it is absolutely absurd the gap between russian and an overnax and i don't know how
this continues to happen because it's not it's not the first time there's probably not going to be
the last time but like every single tier we hear blizzard say that they want to make raids easier
and less reliant on weak auras and it's just not happening ever i think the thing that was
that's not okay it's fine for the race but for any other guild it's not that you're
tied to a comp, like play overnacks without blood decays, you're not gonna equip all
the adds together, right?
Shout out to our comp on that by the way, that the other guilds copied, just pointing that out right now.
That's actually a good point, it must felt really good to kind of
feel like you're leading the charge for certain comps, like you guys knew going
into that boss what you were gonna do and then over the progress of the
hours where we saw them pulling it, you realised they were kind of...
of an axe was a weird one because I think the other two guilds might have underestimated it a bit
in regards to like what needs to be done to kill it and how tight the dps trek it was so when
when the other two guilds locked up with three tanks just to deal with the spiders I felt like
personally that felt it was to solve a problem that was only there because of lack of preparation
in regards to how to deal with them and like they were also using the vengeance for like grips and
stops and all of that all of that sort of stuff and it was like it did feel very weird that the
other two guilds didn't just walk into that boss with double bad bk from the get go yeah um
i mean i mean they might have had like an idea of how they want to pull it off maybe they
aren't arrested as you said like the amount of mobs or the amount of health on the mobs right
But I think they kind of, you know, try to make it work, you know?
Yeah, like, I mean, they might have caught 100 pulls with their free tank bomb, or whatever it was.
They might have been a little bit of a late call, you know, like to swap their stuff.
I mean, yeah, he is one of these, but they clearly had an idea in mind and went with it, and it just happens to have not been the play.
Baldy has a good question in chat.
in chat if you buff the first boss and swap it with the third so both bloodbath not bloodbound
all gracks with sickran would that have felt like a better difficulty curve for yourselves
depends on how much you buff all gracks really i mean all gracks wouldn't be the boss of both
in my opinion would be sickran i think all gracks is a good like it's a first tier boss
sickran had a lot of potential in my opinion but it just died just fell short they made the
fight easier like to watch the very end with how you could see the circles and
like the distance between players which basically made the fight even on our kill
we messed up yeah we want to go on beta if you clean the trouble with those
images you died oh yeah the whole kill
He hit the floor very early and the guy in the middle is away from his PC.
Any chance of Raiders on the couch will do a replay?
Well, I'm not sure if we can do a replay as such, but...
We're working on it right now. We just found a clip of the first boss that we talked about.
Where is this working on at the moment?
The whole tie a little bit. We're going to try and work on bringing some things back.
things back so you don't actually have replay tech yet but it is something that we're looking to
implement next week. But we do have a clip, you can find the Queen Antrek.
Are you guys ready to see? Let's check out what you did.
Oh bring back memories
So there you are making your way to the very edge
So this was the idea get everything to come and group up on us
So we're back just in the middle of the night.
And the boss wasn't supposed to hear us.
Just like the first one we didn't take damage from.
One of them should have been the exact same.
I see.
We knew where the boss was going to come back out.
So we just wanted to group up all the scarabs to us and just lay them down.
That was the whole idea.
And then just have them next to the boss and just feed them immediately.
Yeah.
Do you guys have any favorite moments from the raid that you can remember?
Maybe we might have clips of them.
We might be able to show them.
Oh, princess re-kill.
I think like our actual friend is killed where I like crit the mando, that was fun.
Oh yeah, I executed the boss with mando.
You did?
You get total crit 14 million, oh something like that, I'm just fucking killing myself.
If there's any chance that we could also get that Marius, that would be really good.
Sorry to...
Marius is working behind the scenes.
Our princess re-kill, if we didn't kill it there that would have been a truly sad
moment honestly.
What was you guys' favourite boss from the raid?
Princess.
But I only played two, so I mean.
Princess, yeah.
Princess 100%.
I think Princess for me is going to go back like down as one of my favourite bosses of
all time.
What about you Dan?
I'm stuck between two.
It's either uh, Overnax or Silkencourt.
That's an LTCH.
But I'm not entirely sure why.
I think Overnax because I feel like I personally played that boss really well.
I went in with an idea of a talent set up to use that the other guild's warriors were not using
Until they then switched to using it
So I feel like I had a really good read on that boss and Silkenclaw was just a vibe
I spent half the time dancing and singing so I
Wish I could have said the same
Also really enjoyed bangers calling out all the bad moats
One sided about it, you know when I was this cool streaming to him and he was calling it from my period for a bit
And then that Mike PC just started crashing. That was great. Oh, yeah
What about you know, what was your favorite boss? I think it's a hard one for me. I
Yeah, I'd either say princess or
Answer I can't say I
I really just like P1 of answer P1 of answer it can go in the bin, but the rest of the boss is great
Yeah, I'm sorry it was pretty good. It looked like you had something to actually do on that boss as opposed to, I mean, Overnax required you guys to take aggro, keep aggro, but...
HONG!
Yeah, 5 o'clock. Where is it?
Maybe if it's not too far, I can come off to my rape at 11. Yeah, I'm sure you're gonna be there soon.
We are just getting DLs on what our celebrations is going to be.
What is your guys' plans tomorrow?
As Biff said, you guys have got to do this, you got to do that, or is it a free day for you?
Existential crisis.
Yeah, I think it's just going to be a vibe day, honestly.
I'm going to maybe a little bit of talk on TeamSpeak everyone.
Reassess mindset.
See what Biff has to say.
He's going to give us the good old pep talk.
the speech and then we're gonna with charity goals as well. Oh yeah we do. Something's going on for
you guys. Yes. Fun charity goals for you guys. I don't know about you too but I get like some
existential crisis off but the tears done. I get the post-waste balloons. I had it after Princess
yeah because I thought I was not in anymore. You spent so long essentially with all you do
from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed like playing and thinking about
the race. And then once the NOS boss is dead, it's like, you're free, but at what cost?
It's like finishing a really good Netflix series, right? You just sit there and like, what now? What's
next? That was my type of personality for a bit, right? I guess I can do M-plus.
Happy for the experience, but empty afterwards. Yeah, it's even worse on an expansion launch,
because like, you know, this for us starts on expansion launch, and then we had three days
early access like we've been doing 14 to 16 hour days for what five weeks I mean
it was so rough first that we took our four-day vacation yeah I think I think a
lot of people would underestimate like those four days because well while a
lot of people might look at it as a chance to like take time off and just
chill we we can't really do that because we're constantly worrying about
how far behind we might be getting and how many hero experts were missing
out on and looking at all the other guilds getting gear and worrying about if we can
catch up like yeah I don't know it's pretty. Now you guys can actually play the game. Yeah
I'm not going to do that. I'm expecting to go back to my PC and see Caltra in Group
Planner. I'm expecting it. And then I'm going to join him. Like Tom was DMing me the
whole of progress like after Answik dies we play a QZM use game. Yeah he kept saying
We all know he's probably in the Los Santos right now.
Shane chat.
Hello Shane.
Hello Shane.
Love you Shane.
Of Beveldure at Connoisseur.
Okay, we sadly don't have a clip from the Nexus Princess Rekill, but we could also look
at my Queen kill.
Yes.
I don't think you guys have rewatched it yet.
Chad is asking about it a lot as well.
Answer it.
Should I marry it?
Answer it.
enter a command and trip
and have a look at that
any time you enter
Park of Wipers happened
you're a fake you pull up
you're free
you sing about it
look at that face
but I have some new characters
probably so
that's true
I mean you're playing organization right now
oh attention
we have been followed
Okay now, thank you, but I think I think we actually found a clip of the curriculum as well. Just a second Marius is working on it.
You made a statement before heading into the raid that you were going to get rank one on blood decay, was it for n plus?
All tank, all tank.
So are you going to be doing that?
Yeah, you're not going to see him actually until the end of the season.
Well, thank you.
So what you do, right?
I'm giving you the tech chat.
OK, listen, if you're a multi-classer,
you want to play your favorite spec,
but you can't seem to get into N plus groups,
here's the tech that you need.
OK, you reroll meta.
Wait, just wait.
I know it's bad already.
But you reroll meta, you find a group,
you convince them to play with you.
You play with them for a while.
You get high IO.
And then you do the switcheroo.
You go to your real spec, and they're too deep into it.
They'll feel bad, they can't kick you, and then you get the IO that way.
So you're abusing your friend?
I'm not right.
Yes.
Okay, I know who I'm believing for my friend.
I'm not using that for them.
I have to kill that one.
I found a problem.
Oh, okay.
Oh.
Okay, there we go.
Me and Andrew are killed.
Let's have one second in the corner.
I have to say, I didn't believe after we had like three people dead and one healer less.
Oh
Wanted to get a zoom like a full
Because my my stuff reset mid-prog
I'm gonna scream I'm dying. I'm dying. I'm dying dodging blades. I'm still dying FTM one hill
Going through the pool. I'm still dying FTM, please
Heal me more
Essence I'm still dying
Thief's HP as well. Thief was like on 5% HP
It's it's fine when a DK does that when a monk does that it's a bit more concerning
I just want to say we almost didn't cast this we didn't believe in a kill because you had so many people dead
And then also one healer down you're like not casting and I'm like
Same right you know the
0.8% wipe that you guys did yeah, I
I like play by play shout casted that and I did it. I feel like I did a good one
I was like answer is melting. She's melting chat. Where are you on the welfare?
Like, you know, I was really worried that I wouldn't I was texting you like, oh
I'm gonna fucking suck. I'm gonna be able to cast it probably. I feel like I did a really good job
But then when we got to the actual kill both me and Royburn were just like this
No, that's not a kill. They don't have the damage
And then it wasn't deep-shaced was like
I think he's just a kill yeah, and then we were like okay
I heard you guys said like oh they gotta rest the healer
I mean we thought that you'd rather want to have a healer than a tank because
there's no more tank swap right?
It's a case of like if the tank dies we all die
Yeah, thanks for the rekill
Is this the rekill yeah?
Yeah it is
Oh so this is where you were last standing right?
I wish I played this boss. I was like me and Chris to an angel form
Dodging I think this isn't the first kill. No, I'm pretty sure didn't I live this?
This looks like the first kill. Yeah, that's good. Thank you. This isn't
And then I touch and I you could have killed it one second early and I would have lived
Do you see both the hodgers dying? That's your fault?
I literally killed him.
I could not touch him.
You did that to me.
That was a rune.
That was a rune.
That's going to go on your death.
So the way Touch of Death works is you can use it with a talent.
You can use it below 15% of HP on the mob and it does 30% of your max HP.
Right.
But that's just a baby touch.
That's like 3 million damage.
We don't like those kind of touches.
Okay.
hold it and use it when the mob or the boss is below your max HP it will do
your max HP and damage so I held my touch this the moment I started seeing
people die for the execute and the moment the boss dropped below I think it was
like 9 mil with my max HP on that fight I touched it for 9 mil damage
is that the kind of level of what goes through your head that you're able to
I've seen you do things like I've seen you at like split second like just dash over to another section like you guys seem to have really insanely quick reactions in the heat of the moment it's just really good forward planning that's kind of it it's
It's understanding what can happen and knowing what to do when it does happen.
I see, I see.
As a little bit of a self-plug, tomorrow I already know what my plan is going to be and
that's to stream and go through all of the kills from Overnax onwards and explain my
thought process.
Oh, that's insane.
I'm stealing that one.
I'm stealing that one.
Exploration mark team in the chat guys, you want to go to the method.gg website
over to the Rossi, you want to check out Dan, go to the stream, give them a follow.
Same for these two as well.
We have, I want to say this is Royburn.
We have Daisy here, we have Nate here, FTM joined us.
Yeah, please go and share some love over to the team
because without these guys, there is no race, honestly.
So go and support them, give them a follow,
drop them a sub, September is still active,
so you get 25% off subs.
And if you give five or more,
Twitch will drop an additional one.
Yeah, so go support these guys.
What was I gonna say?
I forgot what I was gonna say.
That was it. Yeah, no you go. I didn't say I feel bad for teeth after this day because last day
He was mean about the main tank stuff and then this day he gets benched so I can one
It's only a second year he destroyed
He's done a really good job we love teeth
I've heard that you were sitting in the squad a lot together just talking about tank stuff and
figuring out things. During the Nexus princess when I was afflicted with the COVID my brain was
struggling with boss positioning because we originally were two tanking princess and he was
doing a lot of the boss movement and I was just hitting my buttons you know and then when we swapped
to one tanking obviously I had to do all the movement and my brain was not working at first
so I didn't like I couldn't process where the boss needed to be so I jumped in I said to Tiff I was
like let's just go discord and you can just be in my ear oh I'm telling me like where to go I'll
stream to you and discord and you can just tell me exactly where I need to be until like my brain
starts to process exactly that and then you can go to keys or whatever else you need to do
We have actually smashed another charity goal with that a $60 donation from Crystal herself
later hosin for Dan.
Not this Dan, but maybe it's you.
No, that's alright.
Are you sure?
Wait Dan, we do also have a dendle which was originally going to be for me, but you can wear the dendle if you want.
No, that's all right.
I want it's like, you know, the pretty German dresses for women was going to be me and Dan
because it's October first content then.
Brew first.
I want to come join us.
I think you look painer on the couch.
But yeah, I just want to give a quick shout out to everyone who has donated to our charity.
Super, super appreciate five thousand two hundred dollars raised in total for
November which is men's mental health being the leading charity for suicide prevention,
prostate cancer and all of the other stuff as well. Super super important topic and the
November but guys have been in chat cheering you on this entire time. They are incredible
and so are you chat. Thank you all so much for your charitable donations. We appreciate
it. Hello Mr. Cana. Hi. Are you proud of your boys and girls? Of course. I was
I'm proud of the boys and girls.
I mean, particularly this year was about as much as I could have asked for, considering
all the circumstances we had before.
Very happy, very proud.
I'm ready to keep going, I'm ready to keep pumping.
Are you proud of Spagooda?
No, I don't just think so in command.
Spagooda.
Well, hey, fun.
In general, I'm obviously very happy.
I would have loved to snack second, but we gave them an absolute run for it.
We had our own adaptations, we had our own comps, we did things as we wanted to.
We had different comps on pretty much every single boss, maybe not Silkencourt.
We did a shit lot of prep, we felt very prepared.
I can't be more happy, obviously if we snuck the second I would have probably thrown something
through a window, but maybe it's better for the window, it didn't happen, but yeah,
incredibly proud of everyone, happy with everyone.
I was watching the Liquid kill and I had both streams open at the same time
and the time Liquid killed you were in a pull as well, deep into P3
There was a chance, it would have been so insane to have you kill it back to back with Liquid
When we had the 11% pull, it was like we're not having long until someone kills the boss
because the difference between 11% and 1% is actually 0 in reality
it's just how many people actually ended up going through the end if you have everyone alive
it is just death and in our case you didn't even need to heal our life so
I mean we had three people dead
yeah we also had Kina save the pool which was really pleasant to watch
yeah so like he did the thd it's like the ring was about to hit one of the essence
and he just like quickly yeah he did into the door picked up the essence
and based on Gables an extra second of f of dpsing so
he went like uh
oh on the outside yeah
You went like that, like Harvard, like got the essence and you know went through the ring and died.
Yeah, I mean Kena played well. I think in general like a lot of people played really well and I'm
incredibly happy and proud of the roster. Obviously there's still more things to work on which we're
always going to keep doing from the front end and from the back end. But also I'm just very
happy with how the event went, considering that you know people were sick, people had COVID,
we had to fly people here early. It was incredibly good vibes. I enjoyed it a lot,
even though I'm incredibly tired and I am looking forward to going home but not before I take all
these handsome people out for a lovely dinner and spend a lovely week. I'm so sad that I cannot
join the dinner because I have rape. Fuck it! Oh no, you got COVID. Oh no. Oh no.
Sparely saucy on the bathtub. And then tomorrow I just need to kidnap Fener until he joins us.
So, shit, don't send that to Scribe.
Oh, and I need to book your guys' flights in a little bit when you're done with the couch.
Oh, that's a lot going on. When are the raiders gonna go home? Wednesday?
I'll tell you what.
So we have a whole day tomorrow of like charity and fun things.
And tomorrow some charity goals as we have reached, there will be some fun things, some fiving, some streaming, some hanging out, some, I don't know, exploring.
I don't know what people are going to do, we'll figure stuff out and then over the course of the Wednesday people will be going back to their homes, their cats, the wives, their girlfriends.
I think everyone's happy to go back to their cats and dogs then.
You miss dog?
Miss Doggo, miss Doggo?
I miss dog. I miss dog a lot.
Girlfriend has been sending pictures of dog and I miss dog.
You can mention any pictures of dog.
No, those have been for me.
for me I miss dog a lot I think everyone is happy to go back home it was a
little longer than expected did any one of you expect the race to go on for
the 10 day 9 yeah anywhere between 8 to 10 days is why I thought this would
have been what do you say that's also the perfect length of the race like
10 days is perfect length yeah it wants to be a little bit just over the
reset basically okay that was longer race I want 10 to 11 because I think when
you have 7 8 it becomes even harder to beat the little bit earlier reset of a
liquid yeah I generally I would say like if it's like it also depends on the
amount of bosses obviously yeah I think when 8 bus tier like 9 to 10 days is
good I think if you start going to tears that have like 9 to 10 bosses I
just prefer the 10 to 11 because otherwise I think you have too many
bosses that are just floppies. Yes he's just, he's falling, he's falling in his rep, he's
the manager that's playing the game. He's just doing content, he's fighting. I am also
very excited now that I am no longer an analyst, I can get loot. I am almost 6'20 but I want
to be a little bit higher because I saw Tom and he's 6'30 and it does not feel
Okay, I'm 624. I'm 626 get owned
Look at my direction
Chrysler's is doing awakening the machine
There's no weak awakening machine. You're selecting my am I you gotta remember yeah
You actually like I'm not kidding depending how many characters for farm we do hitting 24 rep with all the factions is pretty good
Spencer
It sounds like it's Ben's turn.
It's a Canadian man. It has been a year for like 5 months now or something.
But Ben came the same day, no?
No, he came the day after.
I got here on the 9th.
Yeah, I was here.
I think in the evening of the 7th.
I had a full day ahead of me. I was able to install some PCs and was very happy.
That is actually crazy that we've been here for so long.
In some ways it's kind of a cheap one, you know.
You have a month with pretty much no electricity, no gas bills, no food, no nothing.
So in that case you won't hear me complain.
It's a good month of saving.
Right, I saw a spam.
Thanks, Peter.
You have had hand warmers almost every day. Did I see that right?
Yeah, I mean when we first started it was really really hot in that room and then all of a sudden like
We came back one day and it is just a fridge like it is so cold in there like I had a blanket on for like
Today I had a blanket and hand warmers all the time. It was like I messaged Liam yesterday
I was like can we do something about the fridge we're sitting in like
like it was bad.
Rayners are not very good at giving me like, cause like originally when it became the sauna
I'm like hey guys, we're trying to fix things so it's like you know you open a window, you
put the AC a bit lower, you constantly doing like small adjustments and you're like just
update me on the hour how it goes.
And of course you don't get to hear anything and then suddenly the day after you still
get told like it's still really warm and like okay you know we can work on something
again I guess.
And then suddenly you don't hear anything and then they come back and it's like
do you have hand warmers? I'm like, that's a quick change of pace.
It is very hard because like the way how German temperature works is some days it was like 25 outside and it's just a melting pot.
And in other days, it's like, you know, 5, 10 degrees outside and it's really cold.
Oh, people are signing.
Dan, come back.
Daniel.
Oh, let's go.
I already signed this here in the front.
The front.
I really like that chat. There's a signing going on this PC is part of one of our giveaways
Experienci mark giveaway and chat you have to click on the link that the bot is giving you
It's not like a word to just spam and chat
A three thousand dollar per se that we have here. It's looking beautiful and all the raiders
Maybe even casters. I don't know are gonna sign this PC right now. Boss man's go has already done it
I'm gonna go show them more flights so I will also be Bb.
Alright.
That was art faithy.
There was some art going on there.
Thanks a lot of people still need to sign.
But at least we got some of you out of the way.
It's looking very nice.
You cannot see the answer you know.
I don't think you can.
No Barak we're not dabbing.
I still need to run around and get some some signings as well.
Kina and Kweb, do you guys want to join us?
And you also, before you sit down, you can also sign the PC here for our giveaway.
More signings.
There we go. Did you sign? You did sign.
Kweb did.
All right.
I'm just sitting on the edge here.
How are you guys feeling after this long race?
It's all right.
Are you happy?
I mean, it's just a lot of seep deprivation and just relief honestly because I think, yeah,
we threw away a lot of chances to come second. And I think first we started to reach by a fair
amount just because of like other bosses that we have informed them of. So I think we put on
a good race, which I think is important. And yeah, hope the fans loved it. We actually just
heard that you did an insane play all the way at the end that we've seen from Liquid already,
the THD was like all over you did the same play you saved us you got you got
us another one or two seconds that can be the one or two seconds that are
deciding especially when you have DPS that which we had and we hit it down as
well we have the clip um we do have a kill clip I don't know if you can see it
but I mean we have a keynap here we as well so we can surely like get that
from from somewhere at some point yeah but yeah unfortunately I couldn't get a
a lot of distance because I think we were maybe like two or three globals, we needed two or
three globals to kill the boss and I think me picking up the essence and getting it over
and like when you pick it up and drop it, you get like two seconds grace period and
I think I bought us about two seconds, which is enough to kill the boss.
Insane play right there.
Did anyone notice immediately?
No.
No.
I got flamed for doing less damage than FDM and I'm like I think I'm made up for
it.
You're not eating, no one cares about what other people are doing, right?
We're all just focusing on killing the boss, being in the global to kill the boss.
Yeah, exactly. Everyone's doing their own thing.
Everyone's like so hyper-focused on doing things, so it's like...
Yeah.
Well, it was really helpful. Someone did ping it.
I always wanted to keep my honour, and then someone pinged it,
and then I pinged it again, and I'm like,
Yo, I'm gonna need help here.
Because if I had pot, I would be able to get another half-second over the line.
But yeah, it was...
It's absolutely crazy to think about that these decisions are being made within split seconds, right?
There's not a lot of time to decide, well, I don't have a pot, I'd rather go do this, this buys us more time.
It just happens, right? So, very, very well played there.
Also, as a general thing, I think we can be super proud of us, because even though it's only the third place again,
we killed the last boss in less pulls than Echo, for example. 425.
Then I would have wished it was 425 points less, nice number, but I...
We had a lot of affixes as well.
We had the four-day ban, thanks John.
Vacation, we call it vacation.
We had the three days of splits, I was patient zero with Covid.
That spread to the whole guild basically in the event.
So we had like half of us all affixed with COVID and then cannot other do nothing unholy
You know, yeah, he wasn't quite at least yeah, I actually I actually was cooking a little
bit, but then we were like now. There's no point whatever. Yeah, no, we have the affixes.
We did pretty good. Like it was surprising that we got more average eye level than echo
in all splits, even though we did it in like three days.
Yeah.
Back to that at seven.
I mean, they have people banned as well,
but only like seven of them.
Whereas for us, it was the entire guild, right?
So yeah.
Yeah, big league.
We had 30 people banned for four days.
We got banned for the snake farming in Oshkahet.
So that was the snake farming.
We had people asking guildies, like, what was going on.
Yeah, but what were we doing?
We were disseminating myths and information and we were on an actual side of it.
No.
It was like FTM started it. FTM was like he told his friend, oh yeah we're doing the snake farm.
Everyone was wondering how is our renown so high.
They were like oh yeah we're doing the snake farm and it actually caught on.
And then people that like I got a text from a friend who doesn't even play waw anymore.
He was like oh I heard you guys were abusing the snakes.
There's no snakes in Ashkenhat at all.
I was like, what snakes?
Yeah exactly, yeah.
People were on and on looking for snakes.
There's no way.
What?
It was big.
It actually leaked.
So that was, like, competitive while reddit during that time as well was so good.
It was the best content.
We even had the hopper in the house here.
Yeah.
So at least you had fun while not being on the stage.
It was hilarious.
Yeah, it was great.
Fun's a stretch.
I mean it was...
No, watching the reddit threads was hilarious.
It's a bit threatful to them.
Yeah, absolutely.
It was so funny.
Yeah, it's a real cook.
What would you say was the... if you can pick like one thing, I don't know if that's possible.
What was the thing?
Oh, we see the... oh, Kina, he'll be here.
No way.
A quick interruption in my sentence.
No, I think it's... this seems... no, this is quite early into it.
The boss is still 11%.
But the boss is just melting all the way at the end.
So when you see the boss is low, going into last portals, you know this is the kill.
You have to make this work.
Yeah.
I've got a depot already, so I'm hanging back to make sure I don't bait bad webs near the
portal.
So then we get the baits, we let them go through, and then obviously you go through on your timer.
And then obviously we're just spreading out your doggy balls, trying to keep your teeth
up because he's getting absolutely trucked.
We're dropping essences here, and this is really important.
If you're picking up essences now, you're turbo-griefing, so you're avoiding them
I dropped and now we're just cranking boss and so on pings there's an essence too close to the middle like wave
Yeah, okay. I pinged myself here again like paying you there. Come on
And so on just do something bit and then I decide to do this
Going in
I try to get an extra distance over there with the glide but
Hero play I think honestly it would have been a wipe if you didn't get it's it doesn't look like it's that massive
but you picking it up and dragging it over is it one trots the rate
that was good it was sick
yeah it's real it's real see i mean small things like that like i think it's just everyone in the
raid making small decisions like that it'll be really powerful and i think that's why it's
very difficult to recruit for this because a lot of that's just instinct. I'm not pre-planning this.
You're going to get put into these kinds of situations across multiple tiers and that's why
also like method that the rebuild has been growing and growing and getting codes imposed
each time. Part of that is actually because the competition is like they've had years and years.
So it's like some of the players, I mean me as an example, I didn't start doing this until
like end of Shadowlands. I'm very new to this race to world first thing, in comparison to some
of the others. And it's these kinds of scenarios that you don't really learn how to deal with until
you've actually been in them quite often, a few times and then you kind of get used to it.
There I want to come back to my question that I started asking before. Do you think there's
one thing that you did differently this time that was that one thing that got us closer to echo because this time we were actually competing this time
It wasn't just a compete for third place with the fourth one
Whoever that is did this time it was a we're competing for the second place
Is there something you say this has changed and that was really good
Except snake form because okay this one thing
That man was responsible for that
There's one thing that I think we have been complaining about a lot as casters
That is the sneaky little method breaks in between is love yapping between pulls sometimes
Which I don't know if it's mandatory or needed or helpful
But it's like one thing where I say maybe we can change that in the future
But do you think there was something that has changed that wasn't massive there was the thing that helped us a lot
I think
not going to bum-lick too much but I think noggy joining was pretty big for us like really big
just because he's very experienced smart man and he just knows he knows a lot right and he
he's probably seen these kinds of things like 50 billion times before he's been doing this for a
while right so having that like extra perspective and the extra things on top that really helped
us I think yeah per mock did the great job as well also was joined yes per mock also good
be chorus fantastic really nice yeah um i think and also general i think the
analysts team in general oh we heard that a lot the analysts this time around the
splits were really good i mean the analysts are normally great at totals
absolutely legend yeah is he's doing a great job but
all the analysts tom daner etc like all of the analysts have done a really good
job of organizing the splits and getting timers and helping us out and that
like i think that's one thing that like does separate like a race world
first guild versus like other really high end guilds is that these guilds have like loads
of analysts and loads of external factors, tech people and all sorts, we core developers
and these things are like really crucial so we had a massive buff on the analyst side
as well.
Thank you so much to all the analysts, I'm glad to show some love to the analysts.
I think it's up on the stairs.
My voice is low, Satch.
Oh no wait, maybe you can just have this here, take this.
Yeah, oh okay.
Is Mike better?
He is better, okay so what do I do with this person here?
I don't want to make any noise.
Yeah, okay.
I think it might be, I can't hear you.
I was muted.
I said we also had Kina see a couple of more bosses this time.
You were in the roster for a long time now.
When did you join?
I was here in Legion
for the reform because I was like in a different guild back in warlords and then obviously
the splits and then like itself and then I came in the second reform as well in
Shadowlands I think just before Shadowlands got released so it's been a long trip and this trip specifically has been four years
four years and
Like I know you for a long time now as well because I'm method and connected to it for a couple of years now as well
But for me, I was never really sure what's your role because you were there, but you were not playing a lot of bosses
It was usually with like a background role and like working a lot with Dragnear as well
Yeah, Dragnear did a great job this time as well
We heard a lot of feedback about his calls being insane
Especially like externals and healing stuff and all that. Yeah, so
Was really nice to see you just jump in and do
Insanely good on both the rest of shaman and the preservation worker that you ended up playing. Yeah
It's crazy cuz I kind of low rolled since I was in a vault when preservation
first got released and that was a lot of fun and we were reducing our lifeline and all that
good stuff and that was a lot of fun. But a low roll by, we thought double H bar would
be good and amorous and I had like Skain and I had our reservations and we still went
with it and I kind of low roll and we didn't have our characters ready so when we realized
double H bar was a play, it kind of bend my tear and then I made us all, I was hard
locked in on Invoker and it just didn't work out. We knew Invoker would be like
bit of like a niche pick but we stuck with it because everyone was assigned to a spec and I was
assigned to Boker and flexing a couple of other options like second pre-second HPL but yeah
preservation being really up here again really suits what I'm strong at so I think it's really
fun to jump back into it and honestly since not having like progressed an emboss since vault
Just relearn how to get macro things in order, like movement every fight, just practicing the mental as well, it can be mentally too high, because I think I struggled with that this day, but there's also problem solving as well, especially with Noki's help, that post-wipe analysis from help with Noki is incredible.
And I feel like we solved the healing in a lot of fights before we even got to the stages
where damage mattered and we were kind of waiting for bosses to die and I felt like, again,
the Lancerec crew, we kind of knew what we wanted to do going into p3 and we were just
waiting for everything to line up.
It was really impressive to watch how you guys optimised and just worked through p3
and we went from I think one of the first days on p3 where basically every larger
hit of rate damage just completely wiped you guys to like latest point today. I don't think there was a
single a single shackle pop where anyone died outside of being like taking some extra hit just
before it went off but basically like unavoidable death rate. I mean we kind of we lost a priest healer
at the worst moment in p3 on a kill. Yeah. We turbo-rolled because they didn't get suffered
They didn't get mass barrier and if they died at any other point of the fight
Afterwards they wouldn't find but they died just before a really like important moment
And we still managed to brute force it while he died, but there we go. That's it
Our sacrificial lamb was like that prox as well
I hate frosty K right now they need to change it immediately
RNG spec it's it's it's like 30% variance coins in Sims as a single target
It's a casino spec at the moment.
It's a casino spec, yeah.
Just like in Hansen.
There's too many casino specs.
You need to fix it, Jon.
Fix it now.
It's bad news bears.
We're talking about Jon Blizzard, right?
Jon Blizzard, of course, yeah.
Cool guy, met him once.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think they're big fans of us, but.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
Why don't they want to?
Who could have thought we'd be getting full dedication
for looking into two counts at the same time?
Yeah, it wasn't the chat bit earlier.
So like to explain because nookie already put it in anyway and pissed at me talk about so basically the whole
Snake farm aside. It wasn't actually snake farmers, isn't it? But
Basically how it worked was we noticed. Oh, we're getting double rep because the war-bound system was like new
Bear in mind. We were dual boxing our first campaign. Yeah
So we are dual boxing the campaign so you want to level two characters at once
It's kind of dumb to have already won character because it's just getting inefficient for your time
Yeah, and then we and then we got like loads of renown
Yeah, we got like double the renown we're supposed to get and because of the way that that rep works
it's like there's three generals and
You get a renown per general you rank up. It's not just so technically this yeah, it basically
basically all the questions will give you like all three generals rep, so you got a lot
of bonus rep from the double accounts and then we were like okay so this is a lot of
rep and then we were like right just as clear as the zone then like and yeah that was it
well the reason why the call was made just to kind of juice max yeah zone was being logged
into two accounts it's because you weren't doing anything special yes most of us were already logged
into two accounts at the same time yeah whilst doing normal play like yeah so like we the way we
thought about it was we we didn't really do anything special we literally just we were just playing the
game on two accounts and got the extra rep right yeah and with previous exploits not having
having anything done about it, like, it's basically very recent, recent exploits, another
blizzard has kind of given the warning shot, it's kind of like, okay, from now on, probably
not a great idea to do this anymore.
We were a good example.
But bear in mind, the only reason why it worked in the first place is because leveling
up a general gave you two renown levels.
Yes.
And that you can level up each general, like independently of each other.
Yes.
So that's the reason why it could get turbo-duced.
Most of the campaign quests will give you rep of all three generals.
So if you're logged on on two accounts instead of getting three right now and you get six
right now and there were some like tinfoil hat theories that we made like trial accounts
but we didn't.
There was only a few people as FTM, he was the main one.
Well he was paying four accounts from the get go.
He was paying four accounts.
But he did it all the time.
He didn't go like oh shit I get more so a day before I'm logging into more accounts.
He was just logging into more accounts all the time.
He was leveling four characters at a time on his clown car.
Clown car.
He grinded up the hive mind, like a free expansion, and then he carried all of his characters on the hive mind.
So when we were doing res, you just see this squid pull up and four bots drop out of it.
If he's in war mode, you can do the fly through, four characters would just drop out of it.
It was so good.
The Starcraft 2 now, boys.
Yeah, it is, it was.
Yeah, he was like yeah and so when FTM dinged a renown, he was getting like four.
So when he dinged up one general, he got four levels.
Four levels. So when he dinged, he only had to ding the generals like once and he was already
12 renown basically. Like one, yeah.
And this is through normal play.
And to be fair, a lot of people got hit by that. I have someone in my guild that was
playing on three accounts permanently like FTM played four just because
Yeah, that guy is like a completionist
He was like doing achievements and all that so therefore he just went to the zone
It was like three accounts just doing all the quests and every little thing you need to do for the achievements and he got
He got sent to short vacation as well. Yeah, but he didn't do it on purpose
He just wanted to do this things while he has time off family accounts go here as well
To me that's why I thought that you know you dice rolling here. Yeah, it's so easy to replicate that
Oh, they're just gonna road to a raw back, right? Yeah. Yeah, if you naturally looked into two accounts, why are they gonna like hit you like like
Biff is Biff who's our our leader is very
hot on
Not, you know doing you know some of that but this particular thing was like that
We're just playing the game and we're doing it like this
Regardless of whether there's a bug with the renown, right? Yeah
And then so for us it wasn't the case of that alright guys
We're gonna be like 50 trial accounts
And then we're gonna go
Juice max
Exploiting juice max
All this rap, you know
It wasn't like that
It was just kind of like naturally happened
Alright, it's true
Yo, had this fucking demon a mic
Excuse me
Excuse my French
Sorry, it's FTM
So you did the Hive Mind take
So you just say
I was about to ask
Could you even have fun doing the Hive Mind riddle?
yeah why not anything for the race it was insanely fast during the first two weeks to have a high mind so why not takes a few hours so when there's down time anyways we'll find not to do it
this is the guy that found it in the first place
no no no he didn't find it
we came across it but someone else told us how it worked because we saw how it was working with you
you. No, no one told me it just happened. But the thing is, we got told how it works
by someone else. And then we looked at ftm's renown, I'm like, Oh, this makes a lot of
sense. Because initially, yeah, I remember initially, people were getting achievements
on launch was like, you've reached 25 or now with the assembly of the even though
you have like three renowns, we were like, Okay, this is bugs. And then we saw our
renowned skyrocket was with the on the ask her uh ask her place and then we were like oh it's just
another bug yeah it yeah i just want to like the world first 25 renowned ashka had got question
marked in guild chat yeah yeah i just ripped the question mark world first 25 round and we're like
what what's going to uh messiah a pickup from na was also doing four counts four counts
But when he hit it, we're like, uh, what's this?
What are you doing?
And then we saw a blue post go out, which was like, yeah, we're going to fix the achievement bug.
So we were like, oh, okay.
It's just an achievement bug, no problem.
And then that got fixed and went away.
But we're still like 16 an hour or 25 or an hour or something.
And we were just there like, oh, they just straight up removed the achievements.
I was very sad about because the guilty of my garden.
I was I was in the middle of grinding it.
When the AFK for like 30 minutes came back, the achievement just removed from there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, that's why we went for it because we thought, you know,
that if they're going to roll back, that everyone, so we thought so many people doing this and we
thought everyone knew this as well. Yeah, and we were just like, look, yeah, there's been exploits
that are way worse than this. In the past, like literally one tier ago, it was way worse and
nothing happened. And it was just like, let's, you know, we do it because we're just playing
anyway it's not like we weren't we weren't scroll wheeling seeds we weren't doing any other kind
of janky stuff we were just playing the game on multiple accounts at the same time and then and
then we were just like right sure we're just we're just rip it like to just play the game as we were
going to play it and then we'll probably get rolled back because everything's bugged right now
like launch was a bug fest so many things were broken like just the smallest things just
is not working properly but I mean yeah so yeah well ultimately it kind of worked out after all right
a little vacation a little bit more splitting or more tense splitting you know can you imagine
our estimate but if you have three more days like oh be crazy oh that would be absolutely crazy I
don't see four days were nice no it was a vacation because we had to book our flights
like we booked them right that was annoying but because if we couldn't wait until the sunday
which was the original time we were going to travel, because that takes another day out of our splits.
So we had to fly early, get here for Thursday. I think in the timeline where it wasn't cursed,
I don't think I would have gone COVID.
While traveling. I got a fight with Queb and somehow I wasn't infected.
That's, that's great.
Yeah, you survived. You got some like giga genes or something.
You were sitting in the COVID end as well.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes, you're out.
thing is i i don't know i had a bad sniffle and i asked his dad like yo liam i got a bit of a sniff
and he was like oh uh yeah we fine slash know how you are tomorrow if it gets worse then we'll yeah
okay cool and after that it was too late i was already it was the plague was already out yeah it
popped through the plague every fit everyone got debuff i think i think arrived on the exact
day everyone was negative again. Yeah, I came here ready to get
sick. Yeah, yeah. I mean, we got we got put into the quarantine
room, which was aptly named the gulag. Yeah, the gulag. And the
gulag was like boiling hot. We tried to get the AC to work, but
we're like all a bunch of patients didn't get to work. So but
the gulag we're all stuck in the gulag and yeah, we it was it
was a bit weird, actually, because we were like, when we
playing is her like echo chamber of coughs and then like things and you just get a whole
like circle of coughing I didn't cough though which is good yes big shout out there to especially
Liam and Sarah and the lead came for managing all this obviously it was really it was kind
of possible to not have it go around a little but they immediately acted they they built
the gulag they moved around PCs like 20 times and they they try to handle it as
good as possible with what we have here so yeah the msera and the lead camp
this everything like even like down to we went for lunch and they moved our
PCs up two flights of stairs and we you know put them all into right places
yeah we've been chilling like yeah sure you're coughing up coughing and you
you know being ill but yeah like everything was kind of handled for us so that was like
really big.
Yeah Lee Camp has been really a big one.
Yeah Lee Camp has been here three times now, yeah three times, boys have been good.
For both of you it's the first time here, how do you like it here?
It was super chill.
Was the very first time at the Race 2 World First Life event or?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It never went anywhere before but it's been great.
Yeah.
That's the thing about live events is great, you have to think about food.
That's the best.
think about food was great like I was so tired at the home yeah lunch break you
had to fix food and eat it yeah I eat it by yourself you don't have time to
talk to anyone you just need to speed run food yeah I speed run it yeah
actually just having people to talk to over lunch always being able to talk
about the game is yeah great yeah the cooking we did was eating was it's
really important. I think. Yes, you have the whole healer gang here that didn't. Every
lunch, she would just be them lot in the corner, be me and Dan just sat there. Yeah.
I've seen the corner. Yeah. And then we'd be like, yeah. So I love it. I think we had
a healer meeting on the toilet. Yeah. That was so funny. Like it was like post-wiping
and you see like, you hear like Keena and Dragne or like brawling it out in the
the bathroom. They're in my two cubicles side by side having an argument in the bathroom.
It was so fun. I can't hear that guys.
It was indeed Healer Paradise. The last two times there was no Healers at all and then
we go from zero Healers to four Healers, including the Dragner as the Healing Officer.
Perfect. Thank you Kana for inviting all the Healers here.
It's not bad. Not bad.
Yeah.
German beer?
Yeah, it's pretty good actually. It's on point.
Germany is known for the beer.
You better like it
I like it. I mean, I think this level for me has been like a massive stress test because a lot of us
Are into that's right. So we're not used to being around this many people and
Your ability to recharge is not a system. Yeah, I know you you're a yapper and you love
Larry
Yeah, bless there's no way that guy
Yeah, we should get spent back on
But like I think what really underestimated was like the stress set in the mental because you get a lack of sleep
And then you don't get the time to recharge and then yeah, I think it's go wrong
It's extra embarrassing because you're with the boys
You're writing it down me
And you're with the boys
As a thing is though, you can't like mute and just like
You can't mute and like think the shit out of it
Yeah, you can
Like you gotta be civil
You know what I mean? You can't just like
Mute your mic and screech
You can't do that after a white place
And that's hard
Like a verse of Flosk propped me
Like I didn't desk lamp but I was like
Like why so oh, I saw that if you do more things like that like it surprises you because your ability to just like like
Emotion regulation just kind of disappears when you're stressed sleep deprived and you're trying to just do smacks of boss
You're just yeah, I've been re-learning that because I'm so used to like playing at home
No one around me no talk to so it's been learning. Do you think as first timers in the venue because we obviously
You see it over there. We saw you all the time
We were also like swapping to cameras at times and like everyone in chat to see supermanently
Do you feel like that did influence your performance like knowing people are watching and also?
Yeah, and also you're not at home right even though you bring your mouse and your keyboard
It's still not the same to be in a different room until I answer it pretty much
Oh, really fallen into place and yeah, I actually played like I usually do. Yeah
I think I had a very important performance. Yeah, I picked it back up on answer
Yeah, I think yeah, good to hear
What do you say influenced you dead much as well, you know, I think it's just more I think it's part like it's like a small piece of like whites
For me this time. This be my first event. I think it'd be easy if I'm here next time
but yeah, it's like a long experience because I think as someone who's introverted
You just get used to anything is if you're if you're fucking up. Sorry if you're making mistakes, excuse my French
if you're making a mistake and
You realize, oh you're on camera and then you can see your own tilt as well.
Yeah, I know there's people watching me, I'm like, oh I cannot handle it.
It's even a little stronger of a feeling when you're not used to being a streamer, right?
And I don't think both of you are streaming or not?
Well, I think that's the end game.
I think our streaming as a guild has to be the end game
because I think the content creation side of our guild
has to be stronger for us to be kind of leveling up as a board.
Well that's what the, yeah, that's what all the P's are.
I'm not trying to sound like Sco here, but we got a juice box to stream.
Hey Sco guys here.
All the arts guys.
How about you Quip?
I'll make sure you ride the hype train to the venue next time.
There we go, yeah.
How about you Quip?
I mean you're used to it, it was your third time here.
Do you feel like it's influencing you at all?
Well, I think I'm less tired when I'm here, because the adrenaline of everybody here,
like I don't know it hits diff like it's a different environment it's like it's no issue to get out of
bed in the morning right yeah you feel very switched on um at least i do anyway and and it feels like
you know when you're at home your bed's like at least for me my bed's like right behind me yeah it's
tempting you know you know quick nap like yeah yeah exactly it's like you know post what like your
wipe you get out your chair you just face flat into bed and then you get back up again like
two seconds later. But like, um, no, currently the event is like, I really like it mainly
because one of them think about food to, um, hang out with all the boys. Yeah, it's big.
But also, uh, mainly I would say it's like a massive agenda and boost for me. Um, just
being around everybody and everybody gasses each other up and gets everybody going,
you know,
killing bosses.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, the best part though has been lost is popped everyone's silent and we can hear his keyboards
Best thing like everybody
That's a play no music no game sound just like reminders is the way to put a ward off
I don't even install Spotify for my PC.
Don't play with boss voice lines?
I do.
I think they're useful.
They're very useful.
They're always telegraphing mechanics.
I saw those reminders on PS.
If you need a boss line, I think reminder could be that in place.
That's fair.
So for example, when you're getting knocked up to the platform since NP2, every DPS stops pushing their keyboard and there's just us just still pressing it.
I think there was one poll today where crystal eyes got bumped like the transition from P1
into P2 where you get knocked onto the platform.
You almost got caught on one of the beams and fell or almost fell off.
It was so funny.
It was so funny.
He got stuck there for like half a second then fell down to the right and barely made
it on the platform and immediately like 20 pings.
Yeah.
I mean, that's actually happened from the transition to P2 to P3.
I wanted to move across to be pushed up, but I bounced on that beam.
What the fuck?
You run after that?
Yeah, I don't think that's happened.
I'm gonna continue playing you, Volker.
Yeah, it does happen.
Because I moved up prematurely, I should have been behind people, but then when I realised,
oh, I only have like three seconds to move left, I got bounced on the pillar and then luckily I got rescued back up, but like, it happened.
I think I'm told to re-hit that beam and just fell off.
Yeah, you just hand off keyboard.
Okay, I'm done.
I'm off. Yeah. It's, uh, it's been a good, I think, do you, do you guys like answer it as a boss?
No, I hate it. I hate it.
It looks from the outside in, how does it look?
From the outside, it looks sick to play. Like it looks really damn cool.
Really?
I disagree with that.
Keep it a buck. Yeah, I'm gonna keep it a buck. So P three.
P three is great. Yeah. P three is all right. Yeah.
It's a very technical fight, it's like the Jailer, but what makes the fight shit, right, is B1, right?
Yeah, B1 is a badass, yeah. You have like 50 mechanics, waves and lines where people can
literally grief you for no reason, yeah. They fully grief you, but then like everything warms
shots you for like no fucking reason, right? And then that's such a slog fest, it's like
dragging yourself with glass, yeah, and then you finally get through it, and then you get P2,
which is just full afk you just walk into like a portal and hit some ads and then you get to the good part of the fight
But the problem is that P1 you just get one bang by literally everything and this is coming from a DK
That just presses death advance. Yeah, you're just standing there with yeah, that's the best part of you know prox then it sucks
But yeah, you you are yeah, but like like for DK. I'm not gonna complain about the whole pulling in thing because I was actually like
Payphone vibing
press space bar. Yeah, you know, actually, if you get locked up, you press space bottle early,
you will die. Oh, no way to glide over here. And then the fucking pool in the ice. Yeah,
I will say that during splits on heroic, doing that as a warrior was,
I was clinging on for dear life. Sometimes I really cancel it with charge or something.
Yeah, but it's scary though because you can't sit with charge you charge straight in but then if you don't start pulling back
You'll just get there is really I think there's a glide bug with the yank in so if you got yanked mid glide your momentum
Yeah, I think they fixed it I've I've accidentally glided today, and I didn't die. So
Maybe that was the lag spike
I got yanked yesterday at least.
Yeah, but today felt different for some reason.
But yeah, if...
I realized at some point that once you get yanked off the platform,
like, especially on a rope, you can't try to step back up,
even if the editing on the edge,
because it's an invisible wall, basically.
They haven't done something they haven't done before,
because people usually choose mechanics by jumping off,
and they don't get applied to them.
True, yeah, that happens a lot.
If you jump off and you get looted,
you get teleported back on the platform.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I think it's a fix.
It's like a band they fix to the thing where people jump off and then like
Yeah, the
Trust me the amount of work that goes that has to go into
fixing a mechanic
from being outplayed by killing yourself in game is
Yeah insane on the other side. I I can't even imagine
Hot fixing. Wow. Is it something like some
Turbo turbo old engine, right? Like if you fix one thing suddenly a squirrel is like
the engine the engine is not as bad as it's not as bad no it's it's grown a
lot over the years but they don't have any excuses then I mean so I want to know
if they place us at last phase but they probably have got I think they did I
I think it's so cruel, like blades into running to portals is kind of evil.
Like you know the dev was the seller, yeah that fucking did.
Oh fuck yeah, let's put that in there, I don't fuck with them last year.
Honestly that mechanic is simplified but us not touching it.
Be nowhere near the portal and you're so safe.
What if I make them play webblades?
But then you do get like this, the wannabe like safe lords camp the portals in their bay.
Oh my god.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're camping the portals.
We had one portal where there was like four people on the portals.
I think that's why I didn't like the boss either, because I'm reading myself, I know how it feels.
The boss design I think is good, especially in P3 though, I think there's too many mechanics happening at the same time.
At times it's like all of a sudden you have Acolyte spawning and both to dodge and Webblades to dodge.
And the Shackle spawning, and you need to do kicks on top as well, it's like, why? Why do we have that one spot?
Yeah, and then also defected everything one shots. I'm not a fan. I think that's just
I think P1 was the bad part the rest of the fire. I actually really like P3 like I really like Peter
The P1 it's just like I don't know man like it like there's so many like
It's just the thing is as well. It's really I think it's like it's such an annoying fight because P1 is actually hard
Yeah, it's quite a hard phase. So you got to go through one hard phase and then you go into intermission
You just vaping and then you get to P3 and then it's it's hard as well
But it's more technical so you have a lot more things to iron out and practice
But as P1 is actually just individual fails Sivvy
Because you practice enough but the problem is you need to get there
Oh yeah, okay, yeah for me I think from the outside in I think it's a really well-designed boss like thematically
Yeah, look kind of they're doing a really excellent job on answering but I think playing it like I'm a masochist
So I'm gonna be like a month down the line thinking that was incredible
But right now. I'm just tired and see play it. I'm just very burnt out and I think
You have to play well for 10 plus minutes straight and you're locked in for 10 minutes
I think as a healer as well
I think you're a bit more logged in than average, but I love making this kind of content, but
I think sometimes if you're punished because you low rolled on where something spawned because
yeah, I think that's such an unfun mechanic where you have something that's very scripted
for 10 minutes, but you can just low roll and die.
Like portals?
Sorry?
Which mechanic are you mainly thinking about?
I think telegraphing on the web blades.
Yeah.
You can count the best counterplay to it. It's definitely a get-good angle because you know how it's telegraphed
But I think that web blades is a very unfun mechanic because it's not telegraphed to the nth degree
Like you should see it's it spawns and then the lines disappear and
With that kind of mechanic if this telegraphed from start to finish then it's a get-good angle at every single possible opportunity
But you sleep deprived six weeks in and you're not counting properly and you get unlucky with overlaps
Yeah, you're I mean it does create some good one. Yeah, and the thing is you are if you're if you're counting them when I'm detonating
There's some great clips of you know, I think all of us have dodged overlaps, right?
I mean like it's been great clip
There's probably clips because I like physically moved sometimes like you know
You know you feel like a race car game and you want to dodge up like boss
it's coming in or something yeah like like yeah literally like I had some pulls well I literally
physically
the speed and sport rate of those balls are not fun yeah yeah also they're so hard to see for no
reason at all it's just it's two different colors like two different shades of colors on each other
It's like purple on a purple floor. We actually messed around a lot or at least I did for a bit the particle density settings on this fight
Because a lot of fights like smaller ones a great example
What is it's like 50 times easier to see everything and actually play the fight if you have park density disabled
Right, so I tried that stuff out on answer it because the first thing I noticed was why are there like 50 billion particles on this screen
But why is there like why is every single like, you know during the pulling like the wretch?
everybody's like pulsing and it has like 50 different little particles that go
out of people's I'm like this is clutter it's like you know it's in your face so I
tried it without and it actually was really good for the P1 it's really good
like it makes the waves like just really like plain simple no right yeah
exactly like it's got and then like but the problem is if that made the blades
a lot harder to see the pulling thing the polytelograph thing and then you get
into we get to P2 and the balls are like impossible to see so it was like it's
such a so in the end I ended up going just like fair I think fair park
density and that was like a good decent middle ground we could still see
everything but it wasn't like completely in your face yeah in the grand scheme
of things I think I like when the rates are this difficult and they get
things like this where there's more things you can optimize but how are normal players normal
matic players gonna kill these bosses without like difficulty curve
they kind of missed the ball on a difficulty curve there's no way you go from like four LFR bosses
all the way to like some of the hardest bosses they've made right like first four bosses are
just one shot so then you get to overdact so it's like you need sure we did it in like
like 135 points. You need a very specific calm. How is the average guild gonna get? Yeah,
how is the average girl gonna get the week or is to do it someone that's physically marking
stuff the perfect comp as well that you need like you really like solid comp and most skills
don't have that. Yeah, like, Frost DK was great on that fight because you don't give
up any single target for the cliff right like but most guilds don't have like two two or even three
sometimes even four frosty caves and two bloody caves yeah yeah and the thing is in these guilds
as well people can't bossy close they have like they're good at one thing and then they're just
not as good anyone here is good on other things so it's like it's such a yeah i don't know it's
it is kind of ridiculous like i feel like it's okay i think throughout the last two bosses
to be as hard as they are because it you know like not many guilds are going to get there right
like uh that early on but fights like ovenax and um nexus princess honestly as well like
that's not killable by any normal guild no it's ridiculous yeah like
i i think yeah yeah i think people started two tanking it though i i'm not sure if they
got a kill but i we we progress it yesterday we two tanks because apparently i think instant
dollars to the killer to yeah I think I think you make the fight harder for
you yeah yeah but that's the end also another thing I wanted to say as well
these fights like without Prince of Oka being as disgusting as it is right now
like good luck I think they would have not the tear if presa broken like they
would have not specific things if it wasn't at this day yeah yeah but again
like what guild has what guild has like two or three preservoakers you know I
think it's also very unique class because of the movement I think yeah
if you're new to preservoak a movement I think it's just yeah so easy to make
mistakes yeah it's it's it's it's very hard like I'd say this to you and again
like as well like Russia man was such a dissapointment in terms of the
It's a fourth boss and it flops.
I remember sitting there, I was ready to click when damage came, it never happened.
I didn't press dream flight in time of fight, I was holding rewind for something to happen,
nothing ever happened.
Well, I think the rape buff is going to offset a lot of these things right, like Ovenax
becomes killable with 40% health, damage and healing, Princess gets walked over.
like, bro, at that point, like, like, like the whole like 45%. Yeah, good luck. Now this
is incentivize the skills. Yeah, don't play for four months. And then the thing is, the
thing is, though, with the current tuning, like heroic is decently difficult for the
for the casual guilds in week one and week two, right? You get yeah, I'm rating. I'm
currently rating casual. We're doing like 900 or something. Yeah, we're on the fourth
boss now I think my guild killed third like like earlier this week we have two days it's
super casual and like it's third four fifth week something around that time where these
guilds get to get to brew twister I'm not sure when the buff is gonna start setting
in but I think don't quote me on it because I could be like trying shit but I'm pretty
sure it's the buff starts the quest for the buff that comes in a month after the
tears and I think that makes sense yeah and then like but I still think I don't
know like these big thing yeah big thing is which which I wanted to say is how do
you even design a tier that's challenging for at least a decent amount
of bosses for the world first race build right and I feel like I feel like
Yeah, I the difficulty curve. I totally agree was a bit what a bit was a bit skewed
Don't need to repeat what you said because I think you're very on point
But on the other hand is like I think how how are you gonna?
How are you gonna change this to make this both accessible to the the more?
Let's say let's say the top 150 top 200 guilds
Without making it a push over for the word
I think I think um, yeah, I think aberras would have been perfect if the if the gearing system that came in that patch was not as
Absurd as it was because like we turbo overgeared that raid
That's why it flopped in like three or four days, right?
But the difficulty curve in that raid was actually really good
Like it was actually yeah, like I think that kind of raid tuning wise is like if the gear wasn't so easy to get and
And it was pretty good, I would say.
Like, um, so I could have done a little bit harder maybe, but you got, you got that mid
tier kind of rashach, that was a sick fight.
You know, you got rashach, you got magrax, which is your like kind of patchwork, such fists.
Yeah.
Actual like, uh, yeah.
You had Zascar, which is like your perfect kind of like, um, macro control on ads and movement.
It was it was like it was a really well balanced and Echo of Nelfare and was
Yeah
Yeah, it was good insane boss was a good boss
But I think to be honest I think I really like where the game is that right?
I would be different because even though it's going to be really difficult for these burger guilds to
But that's fine because the rate buff is there to offset that burger guilds. Yeah, and then it's his turn basically
Pukas they are basically like that's a term I can even less so his
Um
Okay, so like max is staying in liquids thing is like more people the more people the delve enjoyers. Yeah
And then you decide keener decides to call them burgers
I don't like apparently it's like send a dude like mcdonald's being a cheap burger or something
But the most important thing is I think
This is like a great state of the play game where like
At the end of the conference cycle people get like 40 health damage and healing and they can see the bosses and actually play them
And I think that's great
we get the difficulty that we want and we and I think these are these bosses enjoyable to watch
at this difficulty level yeah 100% so I think everyone wins with the difficulty level of this
tier being at this level but then the rape buff rather than gusting these bosses they the rape
off offsets any sort of difficulty that these guilds encounter and I think you get to preserve
that initial like the the big question and I know we talked about this a whole bunch on the
on the way to the to the venue like a couple days back right I think the big question really being
if the rate buff is what is supposed to solve this kind of the this split between the top guilds
and the casual guilds coming to it later yeah I think the big question really is
when does this rate buff start setting in and scaling them up because if it's really a tier
that's so crazy difficult for for the casual guilds without the rate buff then you need to
bring in the rape of earlier if it's not as bad it's not as it's not as entertaining and fun to
play for the top kills right yeah it's it's it's a very difficult it's a very difficult like
line to walk for blizzard oh yeah i like that they're doing what they're doing yeah but i also
think they're gonna need a tier or two more until they found the sweet spot the the the
formula that really works for this. I'm very glad they're attempting it in the first place.
Honestly, I can't even imagine. I don't think any of us are really in a big position to tell
Blizzard how to do their job, because it's really hard to do this. You've got to make
these raid fights, and you know for a fact that someone's going to find something broken
as fuck and just abuse it. And then you've got all the class balancing on top of it.
It's so many like moving pieces. It's like it's really hard like so I think give credit where it's due
They did pretty good
Yeah, they nailed the tuning everything was
My main problem is with spy masters existing you lose a mage at minute five you can no longer kill the boss
It is funny because we kind of a own words a bit didn't we like
Because we were like, oh yeah, this boss is undue when we saw liquid get 15%
We're all yeah, this boss is completely undoable. We're gonna it's like it's our cut. Yeah
I'll put it a remiss to tuning Mark. Oh, this is too much and then it turns out no
Shit as pure
Yeah, but that's like that's like sick that Blizzard actually knew like okay, they can do it
They just need to gain, you know
Even with our, like, grievances with this day of the game, I think the Encounter Design team, both both aesthetically and just in general, like, boss design has always been really good and it's only ever been improving.
I don't think we've ever seen a noticeable dip.
I mean, I'm going to be honest, wow, in general, it was really good.
Yeah, that's what I'm playing at.
Like, even like, I mean, Dragonfly, like, was a bit too, like, soy to me.
But like, the story with Turbo Soy, dude, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, but this expansion is like so much better than the story.
Dangerously based.
But like, no, no, no, but like seriously, like the game in general since Dragon Flight, so much better.
Yeah, the world content is so much better.
Like, I honestly, if I was...
I'm still doing world quests, dude.
Yes, good.
I think if we weren't juicing the world content like we were, if I was a burger, I would love the world content.
Honestly if I was like your average Joe cutting off a work half for like a 12 hour shift
Yeah
Yeah, you're five wives you're seven kids
Chilling love me wall quest. Yeah, and I want to go in like, you know like
Go help log ox protein for a sexual thing
Yeah, I want to play some wow this expansion is great
Yeah log on with the boys based on waking the machine slap up some robots
What?
Okay.
When I look at the room and I see Crystal is doing Awakening the Machine.
Wait, Wildy is doing Dungeons already?
Yeah.
Look at him go.
Yeah, he's going dude.
Oh my god.
Okay, can I just say demon.
Okay, Crystal was doing Awakening the Machine.
I think that's worse than doing it, plus.
Like why is he?
It is 100% worse.
Yeah, like why is he in there?
Is he lost?
Yeah.
I think he's, I think he's.
I think it's 20 of them, two weeks in a row.
Yeah.
Honestly, I'm never going back.
Our spreadsheets that we have for all 20 of our characters is the same.
He needs
What do you need
Time please tell me I hope you are
This game in general now like ever since like the dooma days of Shadowlands like wow is so much better
Like yes
But he's back
Like wow is
In such a good state. I mean the only thing I'd say is get rid of ballastones. It's pointless
You've already got to earn the crests already. Just get rid of valestones. Keep it a buck with the boys and we'll be good
Uh, I agree and I disagree. I think there should be no cap on them
I think if you're wasting valestones because you're playing the game and you're capped at 2000
I was that thing. I don't care about that.
Yeah, it's annoying.
Yeah, oh, yeah, I've never been batting out for valestones like fuck. I'm out. Yeah, wait
So what's it's someone questing right now on stream is it I can is it crystal still quest
Chris you don't have parachute right now little bro. What are you I think he likes the game way more than us
Here we are
He's got his bird
If you're doing
What quest of war mode on and you do the
searching well you can actually knock other burgers off there yeah yeah you can
knock them off great I've been doing that I mean I think I think the worst
thing though was like during our like world prep was flying around the balls
and ask a hat remember like for the sorry I didn't make it in
And then next day it's in Ashkair.
Yeah.
And then half an hour for a character.
You're literally just farming, walking,
like flying through these like little balls in the air.
And then it's just like, you have to do that for 20 minutes.
I remember Kana was like, yeah guys, it's chill.
It takes like six minutes.
You're cat.
The Kana time, six minutes.
Actually cat, yeah, it took like 12 minutes.
And that was a good zone.
Yeah, that was it.
I remember four in the morning,
I was like multi-boxing these weathered crests
before the reset.
It was awful. It was so bad.
Do players get to keep the chairs they've been sitting on in case Nate really needs one pad?
It's on his wish list. I mean I'd hope...
I think we're keeping them.
I've asked if I can get one at home.
Yeah, I think we can keep them.
It's called to use. There's a method share design coming.
Yeah, there is a like a pre-sick method share.
Alright, I think...
I've got the keys.
Guys, I think we slowly want to wrap it up because you have a dinner at 8, which is in one and a half hours
Maybe you want to go take a shower because you didn't shower for like two weeks or something
I have rates at the end and I'm a hitter so I cannot say
If we didn't shower for two weeks, the stench
Yeah, can we? Oh, I'd be horrific
So you're rating in a German guild, right? So the rate call time is 6.30
Yeah, and then it was standing in front of us
Can we just turn up with the method squad and kill the boss for them and then we can take Rylin to dinner as well?
Why not?
It's like, easy, easy. What are the princesses?
We're Nexus princesses now.
Oh, thanks a lot.
I got something else to do.
Yeah, totally.
My friend, I'm afraid that's been too big for me.
Do you want to thank him or solo thank him? That's what I want to know actually.
We're playing two tanks.
Okay, we're definitely not.
We're playing eight warriors
and we're rotating died by the storm taunt I am I am experiencing the worst thing ever I was
playing a preservation evoker second preservation evoker for the bosses up to now and then I swapped
to rest to shaman for that boss for the 10% HP and I mean we thought with one tanking is also
down told him going from preservation evoker to rest to shaman is absolutely horrible and you
you lose all your mana and the survivability and you're actually like you get punch
yeah that's the that's the that's the most based healer take I've ever heard I mean
they literally said answer a cooldown personally take like if you kill a boss and
you haven't got ankle cool down your trolling I mean that I literally kill the boss with
like remember the ankle on the aberus? you anked and killed the scone? yeah yeah oh yeah i mean yeah i mean i would like put that in wow analyzer and you'll see ank up time 0% you need to fix that
yeah yeah you're gonna build the floor more okay so you're gonna be licking the floor more a question for the end what was your overall favorite boss in this tier?
Quep
Oh god
Oh
If you are in the Reganotter
You have?
Okay
I would not expect this
But it was actually silk in court
Silk in court?
Okay
The boss I dreaded the most
Became my favourite
I don't know how this happened
I thought it was going to be a nightmare to pro
It was good
Yeah
Somehow
I don't think
It needed to do a bit more damage sometimes
But
It was good
Alright
Like you
Burgerman
Burgerman
It's between Ansarik and Zolkankol and I think that
boss design wise, I think Ansarik's better, but for us, personally, as a guild,
I think we kind of like, the push to kill Zolkankol is probably a peek for us.
That's gonna be a thing that will be remembered, pushing for 4am.
That's something special. I think, I mean, we're bad,
because we're in that place in the fight. Like, if we weren't bad, we would've killed it earlier.
Yeah.
So we're kind of griefing.
Kind of do.
I think it was really special that everyone was there, the servers were down for like 45 minutes
So it's because now people are just like, nah man, we need to win!
Yeah, none of us were at the live end, and we were just sitting at our PC for like 45 minutes
We were lost like 3 people
I went back to my room and I looked in my eyes in the mirror and they were like red
Like full of asthma
I went up to my room and sat in silence
Yeah, just like that
Just sitting in the dark, they called him...
We would have lost Nezra, I think we almost lost Nezra, like he's a sleepy boy.
Yeah, like, it was good.
He left the red, he left, yes, or something.
I want the fucking phone, I was like, text on time, okay.
Yeah, I was like, can we make sure Nezra's actually here when we start?
No, Nezra was, yeah, man, he was like, I don't know, like, I don't know what he was saying.
Um, yeah, my favorite boss, honestly, I, uh,
No, I hate all the nights. No, I wasn't even on that support that one
Now probably I would actually say
Probably caught as well like only because of P1 Queen answer if P1 didn't exist
I love on track. I think it's one of them is a really good fight one of the fights of all time for sure
Yeah, P3 is really good, but yeah P1 just like
Do you reckon P3 would better if there's not a hole in the middle of the place
of an essence and deep breath over the hole. Yeah, it felt great. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, P1 was just
answering the chat. P1 was just like two, so many one shots and ways to grief your own teammates.
And it was really, and it was such a heart, like, because most of the technicalities and
practice you need is in P3. Yeah, but P1 was just so like, Oh, one guy dies. Okay, there's
Another good eyes, Wipe.
I almost wanted to call a Wipe when one guy died in P1.
Yeah, yeah.
Because they're in a region so tight, it's like, okay, can we just like go again?
And it's very easy to die in P1.
It's very easy to just get clipped slightly and that's it.
I mean, I want to enjoy P1, but I think the implications that you're losing someone in P1
and you just want to jump off, it taints the face.
I think if that phase, I think it's good.
I thought it was the blood sacrifice necessary to kill the boss.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm a fan of P1, but it's like it's like masochists. Like I didn't enjoy how it felt
But I think if you like step back and actually look at those I think it's really good
But like again, it's very punishing like minus one person in a soak and you're taking like
Half your health plus extra damage. Yeah, it's the stack difference and
Yeah
In p3 as well like in p3 we were losing people because someone went in point two seconds early and point two seconds late
Yeah, are we back to yet thing about answer it?
Yeah
Yeah, I
Love I think I'm a basket and we love that kind of stuff and that's a good difficulty
It's good to have this kind of difficulty in WoW because I think not all that MMO has to kind of like
PvE experience and the skill expression required to do this. I mean WoW is just the best
I'm sorry, but it is like the combat in WoW. It's just like yeah, like Final Fantasy is really fantastic
I've never played it. Well, I did play it actually to level 70. I did a bit of the story
But I'm not gonna lie. The combat is nobody was nice. No, yeah, I mean the 1.5 second GCD is rough
Yeah, but but then you do have off-globals
You do have like things you weave in but still anyway
Wow
See I've heard final fantasy is like way better story fair enough, but
What was it is actually you yeah, yeah, war vins of magic step. Yeah. Yeah, war vins. Fantastic
Yeah, like I said dragon flight to sleeper
I'm a fan of the nerubian. The nerubian storyline is pretty good.
The nerubian is good. I really like how they fall as well. That zone was just like the best they've made.
You need to see, like sometimes when you enter the zone you have this thingy coming from the roof.
See you later. And I think every 30 minutes it's swapping colours. It's like making the whole zone dark and then bright again.
That's insane. If you haven't seen that yet, you need to...
Every three hours yeah
That is absolutely crazy
Boss man in chat
Alright guys
He's fully chilling out in the jacuzzi and I'm good
Good job guys
People are getting ready for the dinner
So we don't really want to hold you here for much longer
I have one last question
You can yet even more
But one more question
Favorite holy flavour
Okay so
I really liked the
I really like the lemon honey and black tea ice tea.
Ice tea, yeah.
Yeah, that's Wally's favorite as well, I think.
Okay.
So probably that one.
But there's that shark one as well.
It's like a strawberry shark.
Yeah, that one was pretty bad.
That was good, yeah.
I have to say, I mean, anything peach.
Like if it has peach or the label, I'll give it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm saying anything, I, yeah.
I think peach has always been.
Someone find the label.
I'm saying.
I don't remember what it's infused with,
but I just saw peach.
Yeah, I just botched it and botched it.
What's yours, FDM?
I'm going to be honest, I have not tried them.
Oh, you are not leaving this venue without trying.
You are not leaving this venue without trying.
You should definitely have the lemon honey back there.
Apple alligator is my favorite.
I have not time to try things.
Plain water.
Oh, that's not the holy flavor.
No, I've saved this FDM.
I've not gotten around to it yet.
I was so busy yelling my soul out of my body
Oh, yeah. Anyways, thank you guys so so much for joining us on the couch.
Sadly, I cannot join the dinner, but I wish you all the good food and a lot of beer and all that.
We are gonna be, surely you're gonna be here again tomorrow. We have a couple of charity
things and donation goals that we reached that involves you raiders as well. We were
rolling a dice for who is doing what so I don't know if you guys got hit but
maybe
please I beg I don't want to be like reading fiction one was not for any other
so thank God
praise the Lord all right thank you very much guys enjoyed the dinner and see
tomorrow latest and we just put it on a table chat before we are leaving as well
because lethia at least is joining the dinner as well we wanna thank our
amazing sponsors again could have given that away part of a giveaway it
It has been an incredible day, right?
Who would have thought that we're killing the boss
just two hours after Echo?
We were in the race, one hour only?
General Seng.
No, me.
Oh, you would have thought.
I would have thought after that morning shift
that was dead and equal.
We really had a chance to even beat Echo.
Like there was a couple of really, really good pulls
while Echo was stuck on like their sub 1% vibe.
It was an incredible race.
huge shout out to Liquid, they did insanely well, big shout out to Echo as well, and also all the CN guilds
there has been a couple of CN guilds in the top 10 that kinda came out of nowhere, some of them guilds names that we have heard before
yeah, Hotpot Hero, former Skyline that's known as Zbox
I forget the... I forget the one that's all... that's all Shining's characters.
Okay, no, the other one.
J-Jungle, no.
Doesn't matter. I think you all know who I'm talking about.
Yeah, Jichang Hong, thank you.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, they're also awesome.
I mean, we had a bunch of really good guilds in this race, very close together, everything,
but I think the big takeaway, it really is method in a very good spot to compete
in this top three gun for the top two and hey if quite honestly if all the stars
aligned to a perfect tier for method and maybe the other guilds like you have
not all the stars aligned and maybe even not even the world first is out of
reach so very very solid tier method continuing to build every brick on top of
each other tier by tier by tier it's looking better and better so I'm
personally very positively surprised a very very happy with how everything went
has been an absolutely amazing time being here since last Wednesday and yeah
quite honestly nothing else to be said in regards to the race itself from my
side so before we leave it I I also don't want to make you be late for the
dinner I mean I have 90 minutes so it's also you need to go there right I
I don't even know where it is. It's not that far?
It's like right around the corner from the hotel.
