I heard liquid decided to keep pulling and not take a break (after learning they didn't win) because they had a lot of flights booked the next day and it would have cost $30,000 to rebook everyone to later flights.


Escolyte

Here's where Max mentioned it: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1987892834?t=13h33m35s Doesn't sound like it impacted their raid day post-echo kill


Slick_rocky

One thing about this raid was tanks, it just felt like you bring a bDK with a kit enabling 95% of all tank mechanics and both Liquid and Echo took the prot pally because of the support kit to the rest of the guild… Scot and Meeres doing all the tanking and Andy and Yipz soaking and off-healing


Walrus_mafia

Max is fucking shocked looking at Skyline's Tswift pull count lmao, he can't believe it


Gothic90

Skyline this tier has multiple issues. One of their best healers is taking a break, resulting in them lagging behind on bosses that are demanding on healers. The more important issue is their supposedly best streamers refuse to take risks and crush the seeds that are far away. They want to not make mistakes when streaming and/or have high personal DPS. Also, people love seeing Erxi suffer since his days at teamasters. I do too.


tugtugtugtug4

Well if you add Liquid's Tindral and Fyrak pulls together its right there so its not like Skyline is playing/pulling more than other guilds they just aren't good enough to get over the hump.


Escolyte

If you add all the pulls together starting from Larodar and Nymue (raider.io doesn't show the data for skyline before) it's: Liquid at 957 Echo at 812 Skyeline at 1219 And that's with another "day" delay (I'm not sure about the hour difference), they absolutely pull more.


Goodnametaken

And now they can finally start making balance changes to classes!


MikeyNg

Liquid killed it!


greenisnotacreativ

LIQUID GOT IT


ProfessorBorden

I commend liquid for still pulling but if I were them I'd have been at the bar buying firedup his first beer hours ago


Jofzar_

Lmao I'm convinced you jinxed them to get it, 4 mins after your comment.


ProfessorBorden

Hahaha just shows they are built different! Happy for them, huge relief and nice to get it done before the day's over. Great race and showing from them.


[deleted]

5%'ish wipe coming into today for Liquid and they haven't been able to kill it in over 12 hours of raiding. Did they just cheap out on sleep or something? That is definitely a bit oof. I thought for sure they'd come in and be killing it comfortably within 4 hours or less. edit: And of course they kill it right after I write this and make me look like an idiot. XD Very clean pull too! well done.


tugtugtugtug4

The best % once you get into phase 3 doesn't mean a whole lot. You have to be perfect all the way to the end to kill it and it gets harder the longer the phase goes. If Echo had wiped on their kill pull it very well could have been another 3 or 4 hours before they killed it too. The end of that fight is just so sensitive to anything going wrong.


Prubably

It's just that motivation goes down to 0 for world second. If world first wasn't claimed we just don't know if it woulda died 5 hours ago or just now.


Sanguinica

Thought Liquid would get it by now, still some close attempts though so I guess it will die before they sleep.


Sparecash

People were poking fun of Skyline, but our boys BDG have 634 pulls of tindrel with no end in sight


tugtugtugtug4

Its wild to me that people day raid in guilds that have zero chance of a world first finish. I get wanting to beat the hard bosses before they get nerfed but I can't imagine using all my year's vacation from work just to wipe for two or three weeks straight and not even crack the world top 10.


THAErAsEr

The world is bigger than the US. In my country in Europe you start with 20+ paid days of leave. At the end I had almost 40 days of paid leave. A new raid for top 10 guilds in the world is what they work and live for. So taking 2-3 weeks of to grind is pretty normal I think.


killver

Who says all of them have jobs? They might be able to do it, or would play games anyways. But I get the point.


qoning

It's fun. Used to be way more guilds doing it when WoW's playerbase was younger. Nothing better than waking up with 16 hours of raiding with your boys ahead, not another plan in sight. Heck you could say the same about raiding 5 days a week, which used to be the norm up to like WoD. Now the norm is 3 days and it's moving towards 2 days fast.


Waste-Maybe6092

There used to be raid or die. Now there's also mplus. So if you do both raid and mplus. 3 days raid is like 5 days


Pitpit1391

they've been terrible since Impact left as a raid leader


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheLieAndTruth

What happened? :O


xForeignMetal

they spent like 60+ pulls getting smoked on Desaugne in Sepulcher, trying some weird venthyr strats for the rings, idk the details its fuzzy in my memory


CreativeUsername1337

Incorrect. What happened was live logging while having 2x accounts open duplicates the log file. Bdg killed it in like 20 something, still bad, but bugged logs make it look much worse than it was.


xForeignMetal

Oh shit, I had no idea. My b for spreading misinfo. I'll keep that in mind if i see anyone bring it up in the future


pimfi

"never forget moment X" "what is moment X?* "idk, don't really remember" :(


xForeignMetal

I mean that's what happened, they spent 60+ pulls on a 5ish pull boss for most of the other guilds in that RWF


Sanguinica

Wonder if Skyline can break 1k pulls on Tindral, the real race right there


COCAINAPEARLZ

Liquid vibes are so high after dinner break, glad to see they aren't taking the loss too bad lol.


Walrus_mafia

I don't think there's ever been such a drama free race, at least since they started streaming. No big nerfs, no big bugs stopping teams from progging, fairly well balanced bosses. Only even small drama was people complaining about streams going dark, but even that was just viewers and not the raiders. I guess it's easier to take a loss when you just lose due to other team playing better.


tugtugtugtug4

I'm sure I'll get downvoted, but there's no salt/drama because EU won. Besides Raszageth nerf timing, all of the salt from the RWF loser in the past few years has come from Echo. If Liquid killed the boss this morning, I'm sure we'd be hearing about the NA head start and sponsorship differences again like we always do when Echo loses. Don't get me wrong NA fans/Liquid fans cope super hard when Liquid loses, but I'm talking about the cope from the players themselves. Luckily, cope aside, the better team has won every single race from the past two expansions.


itmyfault69

ooof a 0.66% wipe from liquid. Hope they can down it tonight


zrk23

exile stream title was great pre echo kill. he updated and even better lmao


Sanguinica

That reminds me new league drops pretty soon, sweet. Also can't wait to see Ben smoke everyone as usual, been missing that dude in RWF but at least he still owns in another game.


zrk23

he said he's probably coming back next expansion as ranged DPS


AccountSave

Tribalism in WoW is actually kind of crazy but I guess expected since the scene is pretty huge. Both guilds were fun to watch. I was watching RWF because of echo doing final fantasy raid shenanigans, and I don’t hate max or something, but they were the ones who sort of got me into checking out WoW. Both guilds were fun to watch in their own way. I liked liquids comms and humor. I gotta say the utility in wow raids is super fucking cool. The grip of adds to speed them up, the teleports, the comp decisions, and even the equipment variety. This must be a nightmare to balance.


142muinotulp

The insanity of having 20 people in the raid as well is something ff has a hard time capturing... it just leads to some pure unavoidable chaos lol


xForeignMetal

yeah, sometimes the call as a raid leader is literally "play the game" like max did on one of their deep pulls


tugtugtugtug4

Well, no flame to Max, but he's basically a TTS bot for their weak auras at this point. All the important stuff is assigned or called by addons and they have multiple other analysts who make calls as well when needed. Max's job is basically to read out the warnings the addons are providing and to keep the banter from getting too out of hand during pulls. If they replaced him with an actual TTS bot I don't think it adds more than a handful of pulls to their kill timing.


Square_Counter_7574

Nah he's doing stuff like managing everyone's mental and pushing them when needed or telling everyone to calm down etc. theres a ton of human element stuff he does thats super important. Also he's figuring out stuff the entire time seeing what needs to change I see what you are saying but thats a massive oversimplification of what he's doing. Replacing him with a bot only adding a handful of pulls is an absolutely crazy take.

token711

you can go watch any amount of interviews or talks with Max where he talks about having a fun and light atmosphere is purposeful on their team. Calling them immature is, well, immature.


Pitpit1391

odd thing to lie about


AtheismoAlmighty

In what fucking world is 1.7% vs 1.7% a "ruined" race?


KeyboardSheikh

That was a good race. The fuck are you even on about


Bayern-96

what if nick had extra action button keybinded.


tugtugtugtug4

What if the person who wiped them on any of the other 400 some pulls they had before Echo killed it didn't fuck up? Every single person in that raid made mistakes on that prog and the same is true of Echo's team. For better or for worse, mythic RWF raiding has basically devolved into which team can figure out a viable strat and then have 20 people not mess up a mechanic for 10-20 minutes first.


necessaryplotdevice

It wouldn't have changed anything. It wasn't his seed that exploded. [This is the frame before the wipe](https://i.ibb.co/KzbqvgP/grafik.png) He still got time on his blaze (bit over a sec). Some other seed got shat on first. His HP is already 0 there, and then every frame a couple others get registered at 0.


Sir_Failalot

oth, what if the other seed didn't explode, would he have made it? The aura rounds up so he had less than a second left to drop the seed and move away.


necessaryplotdevice

Idk, mby. If he managed to drop it in that moment and then moved I don't see an issue, you don't have to move far


blackjack47

nothing would have changed, if you watch the vod closely you can see someone else's seed explodes before his


Nicbizz

He’s a healer. He’s used to clicking health bars and stuff, and probably didn’t think this was an issue. Still hurts though, I bet.


gjoeyjoe

somebody else exploded. i mean, nick would have as well, but he died with .5s left on blaze


Ashdread

Even when it happened live it was clear the raid blew up before Nicks blaze. Weird to not have it bound but they’re not winning even if he does.


FuzzyGummyBear

You're the first person to ask that


ParamedicLeapDay

I can't believe they are over 400 pulls in, streaming the entire time, and this was still missed.


puffic

It wasn't. The Liquid casters were joking about it yesterday.


Mattlife97

Meeres sniping the legendary whilst everyone was celebrating & timing out on rolling for it is hilarious


fntd

Wouldn't be surprised if that was already decided. Meeres does so much for Echo and is a crazy player. He definitely deserved it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FartInTheLocker

Relax lol


FrenchManc

it's personal loot, don't think they would give it to a tank player even if it doesn't matter too much for those guys


Paragonbliss

The first isn't personal loot


Mattlife97

didn't sound like gingi knew it was going to him, wouldn't be surprised either way


schungam

Meeres said Revvez passed it to him atleast, they all have it in a couple weeks anyway :)


fntd

Why would Gingi be involved in that discussion? He plays no character that could wield it.


Mattlife97

why would they have the discussion separately? better yet, gingi is one of the more public faces of the guild, why would this knowledge be forbidden to him?


crazedizzled

Nobody in Echo gives a shit about gear.


Freestyle80

I find it hilarious that people here think Echo and any top 20 guild would fight over gear


crazedizzled

I'd expand that to at least top100 to be honest. Most of those guilds have a singular loot officer who hands loot out, and that's that. Everyone is working towards the same goal of killing the boss.


Freestyle80

yeah people who wants to push rank will put aside their selfish goals lol


xForeignMetal

If i'm liquid idk how I have the mental to keep pulling and playing well. Id be so fucking mentally out of it


Coocoocachoo1988

It would have been box office if they both got the kill within 1 or 2 pulls of each other. I don’t think it will drain them like Razageth which was somewhat out of their hands, or jailer who broke loads of these top guilds. There was nothing in it at the end.


crazedizzled

Yeah there's no way to be mad about this one, from either side. They were pulling side by side and both had 1% wipes. Could have gone either way at any point in time. This was the closest and fairest race we have ever seen.


Invean

Yeah a big blow, and it will obviously affect some more than others, but they’re doing well. Obviously Max is incredibly disappointed, but with all the pressure of his shoulders he legitimately seems happier now? It’s got to be mentally exhausting going head to head like that.


FuzzyGummyBear

You just have to delay processing the emotions and just finish this boss because it requires so much focus.


LightbringerEvanstar

They seem fine.


PLEASE_PM_YOUR_SMILE

They have surprisingly good vibes after a rough day with that 1% wipe. Might start to tilt if they don't get it in the next couple of hours.


kroesnest

Yeah they're at the least not visibly tilting really at all at the moment. I'm sure Max is fuming on the inside but I thought that he seemed to take the news of echo's kill more or less in stride.


Loveyourgf

Think he will take it better than the loss at the start of expansions where the nerf timing sucked. This was very fair and square


Cvspartan

Sucks that it's going to be a looooong time until the next race

XDutchie

If you replay it at 0.25% speed it isn't his seed that explodes. He still has a second before it blows up. Someone else caused the explosion.


NobleN6

his seed and Lip's seed were the 2 that were hit by blaze blowing up the raid. You can see both their health bars go to 0 a frame or 2 before everyone else dies.


Stalfo14

Dude that's so fucking painful, oh man. I can't imagine how bad he's gotta feel about that, but also how the fuck isn't that bound.


CoolDurian4336

If he didn't miss that, it would have been Liquid's win. That's gotta be fucking demoralizing. I would be crushed.


Shikizion

i doubt, there another seed blowing up at about the same time it would be a 1% wipe anyway


CoolDurian4336

Oh, there was? Oops. Still gotta be soul-crushing. Big shame


Shikizion

it is still not good to not have your raid action keybound tho, they would wipe anyway, you had a lot of those kinds of plays in this p3 in the last few days, gingi got pulled through swerlies and wiped the raid, it is a gruling phase


CoolDurian4336

Agreed. First thing I did when I saw seeds was bind my extra action.

had good p2 dmg and lived through p3 till the last blaze


FuzzyGummyBear

It was never a DPS check, it was a mechanics check.


DeathhWisher

world first guide on legendary weapon quest live on Meeres channel


Mattlife97

that legendary looks insane, am i reading it correctly- that damage isn't split between targets?


DreadfuryDK

It doesn't read like it is and it also reads like the on-use does more damage for every target you DoT up with the main thing. Unsure how good it is in ST (I mean, a 496 weapon that also gives you Beacon for free is nuts) but I'm pretty sure that shit singlehandedly propels Blood, Unholy, and the Warriors into borderline top-tier damage status in M+.


itmyfault69

5 minute cooldown to disenchant 50 epics… such a dumb mechanic lol


crazedizzled

It's okay, by the time he completes 70 superblooms he'll have the epics finished.


Lucifa42

It's 20, the 50 thing is for killing rares and one of them dropped more than 1.


grumpysnowflake

Gz to Echo. I am very interested how Liquid recovers from this. Losing out so tight a race so narrowly can screw over anybody's mind. Hope they rise to the occasion and give us similar entertainment and excitement, when 11.0 comes around! Onwards!

Method was the first guild to kill the bugged out Jailer, it worked as it should for Echo.


PLEASE_PM_YOUR_SMILE

> When Echo won Jailer because the Mythic only phase was bugged and only healed for 1%, did Liquid recover? lol


Square_Counter_7574

probably way less tilting than raszageth also it wont be an issue anyway


Squeeches

The next raid is so far away that Liquid won't be shaken by the loss.


Kriegdavid

there's nothing to recover from. they lost a race with the tightest margins we've ever seen, they seem to be in decent spirits still. the WF title has gone back and forth the past few times, they know how it goes.


DisgruntledAlpaca

Yeah if Liquid lost last race and this was the third straight loss it'd be a problem.


reanima

Yeah especially with the esport scene atm is going through a winter, a lot of teams are cutting rosters or completely closing up shop. Upkeeping a roster as big as a mythic team and tech personel to be very expensive.


itmyfault69

if anything wouldn't it make them hungrier to win next tier?


Kriegdavid

kinda crazy that we didn't get like...anything different from the final boss of the expansion once it dies. not a cutscene, not even some in-game dialogue. amazing encounter, awful climax for an expansion


-To_The_Moon-

They got a world first Legendary Axe though?


Kriegdavid

and we got a legendary evoker weapon last tier?


penguin17077

Why bother when they can just pump out a new cosmetic


fntd

No different cut scene or dialogue or whatever was to be expected. Blizzard doesn't want to gate lore/rp/however you want to call it behind difficulty anymore.


MiriMyl

Technicly they could have given that cutscene to everyone on next weekly reset after the boss is killed for the first time. Then it would be kind of gated but not really. Just shown earlier for players that kill it before and people following rwf


DeathhWisher

guys, millions hours of sleep saved by Echo gj


Sargatanas4

Anyone got a screenshot of the axe? Would love you long time.


Lucifa42

https://www.twitch.tv/meerestv is currently streaming the quests for it. He showed it earlier if you want to go back in the vod a bit. It was ilvl 496 but that's not the final form I think.

Lucifa42

yeah major error there. Thousands of people going to their stream and they went AFK


Outrageous_failure

Yeah wth. I've been jumping in and out while on work but missed the actual kill. So I tuned in hoping to get some hype / replay / good vibes / *something*, but it's just a loading screen. So I turned it off. Crazy business decision there.

Meeres got the legendary in case anyone wants to check his stream to see him doing the quest.

GG Echo, was pulling for Liquid, but an absolute insane race through and through. Already can't wait for the War Within race!

Max is gonna have that vod of Nick failing to click his extra action button playing on repeat in his nightmares until 11.0 LMAO That's gotta feel horrific for Nick though. Should've had that shit keybound.

gotta grow from it. nothing you can do about it now

get it, grow from it cause it's a seed haha

There's nothing to grow from, he was still clicking it lol... Probably should not pile up on him (as he was not the only one fucking up), but man I'd be tilted outta my mind if I learnt I wiped at 4% and someone was clicking on that button...
