BDGG has a new best of 15.6% after 336 pulls.Method is currently sitting at the best pull of 13.2% after 374 pulls. Method is well aware that it is reset day for the NA. Meaning that 1 of 2 things could happen, 1 being BDGG have their vault loot and extend to go right back to Raszageth or they re-clear mythic and then smash through Raszageth. Are the folks in black and orange, Method, feeling the pressure? From the raid atmosphere over coms everyone seems really relaxed and ready to claim world 3rd.

It's my opinion that we will see a world 3rd kill today.

An incredible day 11 for this Race to World First: Vault of the Incarnates!

We not only saw a world-first kill by Echo after 258 pulls but we all saw Liquid take home the world second after 367 pulls. A huge congratulations to both of these goliath teams.

We now bring our attention to the race for world third!We see Method currently sitting on a best of 64.82% after 140 pulls. They will be returning on the 24th of December with an adjusted schedule to accommodate their raiders who will be celebrating Christmas on this day, which for those that are interested or didn't know they are celebrating the time that Sinterklaas aka Santa Claus, is flying over the earth. The same can be said for BDGG who currently sat on the best pull of 64.72% after 150 pulls. They won't be raiding at all on the 24th of December and only half of the 25th, as of yet we are unsure what Method has planned for that day.

On a more personal note, I hope you have enjoyed these recaps as much as I have enjoyed writing them. For now, I wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas, a Happy Holidays a safe and happy festive period.

And let's not forget, that BDGG and Method are still on! They are literally tied on pull count AND percentage!

Due to crazy climate issues we are not sure if BDGG will be able to raid today, but for now, Method is ready to pull the boss again after a break!

Echo has claimed World First, but Liquid is far from defeated! They literally just halved their best percentage so far in the first pull of the day. They are now sitting at 7.7% after 350 pulls!

What an unbelievable performance from the NA squad, still feeding the flame of this amazing race!

And we are approaching the Holidays already! Maybe we will see Raszageth with a Santa Hat? Let's hope not.

But while we wait to see what will happen, this is the recap of what we have seen:天涯 (Skyline), 佶天鸿 (Jitianhong) and 火锅超界 (Huo Guo Chao Jie) are all showing the power of the Asian guilds! They are all pushing hard on Broodkeeper Diurna and Skyline already reached 66% of the boss HP! And what an impressive performance from 佶天鸿 (Jitianhong)! They really caught up to the front runners and surpassed 火锅超界 (Huo Guo Chao Jie) by just a bit, but still really impressive.

On the EU front, Method got an astonishing performance for the day, and already got all the way down the 67% on Raszageth. And I don't even know how to start with Echo! They not only got multiple days blowing right past the 16 hours of raiding, but they had a crazy pull, playing out of their minds, and pushing the boss to the unseen mark of 19.6%! They really showed why they are the defending champions, and put the pressure entirely on Liquid to match that amazing pull.

Speaking of the NA squad Liquid is also pulling such a performance! They not only dominated the tier in terms of World Firsts kills so far, they are also showing that if Echo wants the World First, they will have to keep up with a whole new level of gameplay. We said here before, but until this point, both squads actually were in a race of their own. But together with Method, BDGG showed both squads that if they slip, only a little bit, there is also amazingly talented squads waiting to get the glory, no questions asked, and I think this is the magic of the RWF, it doesn't matter how far ahead you think got, there's always competition! The Golden squad is currently pushing Raszageth as well, having reached a whopping 67.3% after only 64 pulls in.

Echo just had the best pull we have seen of 19.9% and were in the final phase! However When Raszageth's rings moved in and she was standing in it the boss started to heal again!!

Is this a bug or is this intended? Is this the secret phase?

Let's take a look at the current 4 guilds on Raszageth Echo after 211 pulls have the best pull of 43.09% with Liquid right behind at 45.32% after 294 pulls. Coming in close after we have BDGG at 73.75% after 36 pulls, then here come Method after 22 pulls with 75.7%.

A couple of things to remember here are both BDGG and Method have the benefit of analysing what Liquid and Echo have been doing, so personally, I would be very surprised if we don't see BDGG and Method progress into the second intermission faster then what we saw with Echo and Limit.

We also need to remember that these teams racing from a venue may be racing against time. What I thought maybe 2 races a few days ago could now be back to 1 race between 4 goliath teams. Only time will tell and I am certainly going to be keeping my eyes peeled over the next 24 hours.

Echo are chipping away at Mythic Raszageth, hitting a new best percentage of 50.68% on pull 188, currently on pull 193.

With Liquid going slightly later into the night, they have at least a few more hours before they are going head-to-head.

Meanwhile, BDGG has gotten one pull on Raszageth and are now having a guild meeting and running Mythic+.

The 9th day has ended.

Starting in Asia we have seen 火锅超界 (Huo Guo Chao Jie) have some good progress on Kurog with the best pull of 5.66%. Whereas 天涯 (Skyline) has joined Method and BDGG on Broodkeeper.

In the EU FatSharkYes has been making steady progress on Kurog with their best pull being 45.04% after 33 pulls. Method has been in splits prison most of the day and then went into mythic reclear this evening and called the night after a heartbreaking wipe on mythic Kurog of 10%. Echo has had a promising day after their splits and reclear and now has the best pull of 62.65% after 151 pulls.

Over in North America Instant Dollars have been progressing Kurog has a best pull of 23.11% after 35 pulls. BDGG had an agonizing wipe on Broodkeeper at 10.4% after 82 pulls, they had a silly wipe after that best and then went for their evening meal. Liquid after 225 pulls have the best pull of 63.39% and are still progressing nicely and making steady progress with each pull.

Watching these goliath teams pull after pull really makes me wonder what these guys and girls are made of. The real question is, will they be done by Christmas? There is current chatter that Echo is due to leave Switzerland within the next few days, which begs the question, how long does Liquid have? Will they lose players and production team members again as they did in the last tier? Will they have to change hotel? With a few days until Christmas not only is this a race to world first it's a race against time.

Meanwhile, BDGG is pushing hard on Mythic Broodkeeper, after they were done with their reclear. They are still fighting Method for that World 3rd on the boss

As we mentioned before, Echo has been raiding pretty much since the servers went up again, so they decided to call it a day for now, and get some well deserved rest.

They know they still have a long way to go in terms of progression, the same goes for Liquid so it wise from them to take the moment to reset and get back at it tomorrow at full strength!

They have done 165 pulls, and have reached the shield phase quite often in this last few hours, so they left the bar pretty high up for Liquid to try to match.

Echo just had an amazing pull! Having most of the raid alive, they managed to survive the entirety of the shield cast for the first time after 146 attempts!

They couldn't break the shield just yet, but they survived enough for us to see that you can survive if you properly manage the debuffs! The DPS will be the next challenge for them to overcome.

Liquid really is putting some fire in the competition right now!

After 198 pulls, they just had an unprecedented pull, where they managed to get to the shield phase, after killing all 6 adds with 19 players alive! We still got a lot to learn about the P3 mechanics, and it seems they need too, since they pretty much immediately wiped as the AoE from the shield cast started!

Let's see what adaptations they will bring to the table after getting this key information!

Liquid is currently focusing on getting back with consistency. They are having a little bit of trouble to get back at the add platform phase, but rightfully so. As we expected from yesterday speculation, they indeed changed a bit of the composition, bringing an extra Havoc Demon Hunter in the spot previously taken by a Marksmanship Hunter, and they decided to use only 4 healers for the fight.

Echo on the other hand, also brought the Demon Hunter to replace the Hunter, but they kept the 5 healers strategy! Let's see how this difference will play out with more practice from the NA squad as the day progresses.

Posted by Horaddrim on Dec 21, 2022 at 20:02 pm (GMT)

Echo is not willing to let Liquid catch up at all! They are consistently reaching the third phase and giving us more insight in the shield mechanic!

They managed to kill all adds in one of the platforms, but they sadly haven't managed yet to get to the third platform, where Raszageth will cast the shield, without deaths.

It's just a matter of time for us to discover more about P3 on this already epic encounter!

Posted by Horaddrim on Dec 21, 2022 at 19:54 pm (GMT)

1260 eu

What a pull for Echo! They just barely managed to give us a look at the shield phase, and it does look scary!

They still haven't managed to kill all 3 adds in both platforms, but apparently the boss has a fixed timer that you have to beat, and if you fail, the boss goes to the third platform anyway and starts the shield cast and you can't possibly break it without already being there do DPS it down.

Keep in mind that if the shield is not broken, it applies a very powerful damage over time effect that lasts an entire minute and a half, so it's pretty much a wipe.

Posted by Horaddrim on Dec 21, 2022 at 19:37 pm (GMT)

1259 eu na

And we are again in one of those weird situations where tracking boss health until they can get to P3 will be weird since the boss become immune at the end of P1, so I will do my best to keep you posted on the amount of adds left in the platforms, since if they can clear them all, we may finally see the feared shield mechanic in all of its Mythic glory!

So far Echo managed to kill 2 out of 3 big air elemental adds in the platform, but they had almost 2 full parties, about 9 raiders falling on the last pushback or just not been able to withstand the damage spikes.

On Liquid's end, they did only 3 pulls so far, but they have killed only 1 big add, and just barely, but with almost the entire raid dead. With more tries today I am sure they catch up pretty fast, and they have the time on their side, since Echo has been raiding pretty much since around 5 AM in Switzerland, where they are located.

Both Echo and Liquid came back to this fight in an impressive shape! I was expecting a little bit more wipes on P1 back to back due to having to reacquire that muscle memory for all the pushbacks, but by the looks of it, the reclear haven't phased them out of the fight at all!

Both reached P2, the add phase, pretty consistently so far, not short of random deaths in P1, but still very impressive!

Echo are doing Broodkeeper Diurna Heroic splits currently. They have also done some specific boss Mythic splits for new characters (we believe one to be an additional Death Knight DPS).

Liquid are actively pulling Mythic Raszageth, having re-cleared during their day today. They will likely soon be going offline as it's getting late for them.

Method are coming online soon after finishing up Mythic+ vaults yesterday. They will start off the day opening vaults and likely jump into splits before returning to Mythic!

BDGG has cleared Mythic Dathea and are getting ready to pull Kurog Grimtotem in order to get back to Broodkeeper Diurna progression. Liquid is still pulling Broodkeeper.

On the other side of the pond, Echo is currently getting ready for their splits after reset. They are starting bright and early at 6:25am GMT after having a shorter day yesterday.

Liquid still pushing strong with splits, so sadly the Mythic progression is brought into a halt. But for a good reason, the extra gear that both NA is getting right now, and EU will get shortly after will for sure bring them to face Raszageth way stronger!

BDGG is also pushing for splits, which lead me to believe that they will get back to Mythic by their dinner time.

Again, I strongly believe that they will do a full reclear of all bosses they killed so far, but they still got the option, specially BDGG that is racing for that World 3rd on Broodkeeper Diurna.

And we're back to Splitsville, sadly. Obviously NA guilds are doing all the chores for extra gear in order to get back on Mythic at full speed!

Liquid and BDGG are both focusing on farming some missing tier pieces and the huge trinket from The Primal Council, but the very low drop chance is turning this splits into a huge time sink so far, they still have the last shot, at the Mythic reclear, which would be massive for any raider that gets it.

Method and Aversion are still pushing in the EU front, but as we slowly approaching the server weekly reset, I wonder how far will they go before going to bed to try and wake up by the time the servers are back up.

Liquid is actually taking the full Heroic split strategy backup! They have multiple groups doing runs simultaneously, and by the looks of it, after they are done with specific bosses with helpers, they will reclear up until Heroic Raszageth with alt characters from raiders.

BDGG is doing something similar, so the question is how long will it take them to get back to Mythic, and if there will be any changes in compositions, what would they look like after so much more gear is acquired!

As we are approaching the EU reset, here is the current status:

BDGG is farming Heroic gear, the same goes for Imperative

Liquid is currently getting all the loot from The Great Vault, maybe they will start on Heroic the same way as the other guilds? Or they may go directly into Mythic again

Method and FatSharkYes are still raiding, the same cannot be said about Echo that is aiming to getting up right after the server reset.

Method is on Mythic Broodkeeper, with 12 pulls in, and a best percentage of 65% on the boss HP mark.

FatSharkYes is on Mythic Kurog, having only done 4 pulls, maybe to feel the fight and plan for the reset, but they got his HP bar all the way down the 69.1% mark.

BDGG seems to be doing Heroic only for specific pieces of loot! Since they blasted only 2 bosses and are already back with another group.

My bet would be the huge stat budget of Whispering Incarnate Icon from The Primal Council, but let's see how this strategy plays out

It will be very interesting to see if the loot out of the Great Vault changes something about Liquid and BDGG's composition if they change something for today.

Keep in mind, that I'm pretty sure they will reclear the raid entirely on Mythic before coming back to progression.

Taking a quick look for movement on progress and we can see that whilst US guilds and specifically Liquid still sleep, Echo are still frequently getting to the 65% mark.

With Chao Jie recently taking down Dathea, Skyline will feel the pressure, still ahead on Kurog, having nudged their best attempt down to 44.4% across 32 pulls.

Conspiracy and Aversion are going head-to-head, both having a best of ~55%.

Method has had another painfully close pull on Kurog Grimtotem. Lowering their best attempt from 1.88% to 0.86%.

With so many low attempts, they are making the hard decision to send Vantus Runes on Kurog Grimtotem to maximise Broodkeeper Diurna experience today. With the goal of defeating Diurna on the re-clear.

Looks like with the hotfixes that went in earlier tonight with Mythic Raszageth, Kurog Grimtotem received some nerfs and Broodkeeper Diurna received some fixes.

• Kurog Grimtotem
  • Increased the enrage timer to 10 minutes on Mythic difficulty (was 9 minutes)
  • Decreased the following enemies health by 15% on Mythic difficulty:
    • Frostwrought Dominator
    • Earthwought Smasher
    • Flamewrought eradicator
    • Stormwrought Despoiler
    • Tectonic Crusher
    • Frozen Destroyer
    • Blazing Fiend
    • Thundering Ravager
  • Fixed an issue where Kurog Grimtotem's Earth, Flame, Frost, and Storm Dominance were not interacting correctly with Evoker's ability Rewind (all difficulties)
• Broodkeeper Diurna
  • Fixed an issue which could affect the responsiveness of Primalist Forces on when they become active on all difficulties
  • Fixed an issue which could cause Empowered Greatstaff's Wrath to target a tank-specialization player over other valid targets.

With these changes here's to hoping we see the Method team bring home some kills!

Here is the Blue Post on December 19th Hotfixes

Liquid keep hammering away at Raszageth, their latest best pull is 65% which is within 0.1% of Echo's best pull. Time for the race to start heating up!

Imperative is currently running keys while BDGG are continuing to pull Broodkeeper Diurna. Instant Dollars still have a best pull of 46% on Kurog Grimtotem.

The end of the 6th day

With Dragonflight being out for 3 weeks today we see server stability a lot better than it was then, RIP to Twisting Nether (EU) on release day. But what has been stable is our team's progress today!

Just going to have a look at the top 5 teams for tonight and where they are. Starting with EU as they have finished for the day.

Echo are currently holding world first due to having the best pull on Raszageth after 91 pulls got the boss to the second phase with a % of 64.92 we will see some more progress from them when they wake.

Method had an agonizing wipe on Kurog Grimtotem at 1.99% at pull number 62. I really felt that in my heart when I saw that. They then called if for the day and will kill it early in the morning.Over in NA

Liquid is currently sat as the world second with the best pull on Raszageth the Storm-Eater with the best pull of 68.32% after 70 pulls.BDGG took down Kurog Grimtotem at pull 69 and then jumped into Mythic plus instead of moving onto Broodkeeper Diurna.

Instant Dollars have moved onto Kurog and with 1 pull got the boss to 75.88% hopefully we will see more progress from them shortly.Now the NA reset is looming on us, will they reclear? Will they spend the day in splits jail? I guess only time will tell.

All these teams have been doing amazing and raising so much money for a variety of different charities so a big well done to them. Method hit the 4000$ mark tonight and as a result, MethodGrant got a little hot under the collar.

With Liquid finally pulling the boss again, we can see that both them and Echo found that Time Spiral is the key for surviving the pushbacks without the puddles from Heroic.

It will be interesting to see how the Evoker difference will play out though, because Liquid decided to bring 2 Preservation Evokers and use the Time Spiral from a single Devastation Evoker to fill a ranged DPS spot, while Echo decided to go with 3 Preservation Evokers.

This crazy amount of Evokers is mainly due to the spell, but throughput wise, Evokers are also very powerful, so I'm wondering why Echo didn't want to bring the Devastation. Keep in mind that both can use the massive Kharnalex weapon from Broodkeeper Diurna.

And it seems like Liquid is done hunting gear! They were quick to get in front of Mythic Raszageth once again, and are ready for some more air time.

Jokes aside, they have only 55 pulls, versus the massive 85 for Echo currently, but they are more than ready to catch up in experience, and maybe even crack the puzzle for P2.

Posted by Horaddrim on Dec 19, 2022 at 21:45 pm (GMT)

And speaking of Echo, they decided to call it a day for now, after 85 grueling pulls! For sure a well deserved rest after being raiding for more than 16 hours in the last two days!

They left the mark to be beaten at 65% of Raszageth's HP left, having revealed that the encounter has a very hard DPS check to phase the boss before the 7th cast of the pushback mechanic and left us with a lot of questions around what you are suppose to do about the big Fire Lieutenant on P2.

Liquid is still pushing that extra gear, which makes me wonder if they are waiting for Echo to go get some rest before showing their new strategy.

Yesterday the last pulls they did on Raszageth were with only 18 raiders, so I'm curious to see what they will be bringing to the raid today.

Posted by Horaddrim on Dec 19, 2022 at 21:29 pm (GMT)

Another great pull from Echo on what is turning out to be an insane encounter with Raszageth!

The Mythic only mechanic for the add platform is a Fire Lieutenant that spawns, and has a cast that wipes the raid if not interrupted. The problem that they are having is this cast going through, because this Lieutenant also casts a shield, for a massive 70% of his maximum HP that prevents interrupts.

The question that is left for us, and I guess for them as well, is what is the condition for that add to cast the shield? Or is it just an insanely high damage check? The cast went out roughly 10 seconds after they get to the platform, so if that is the case, we may be in for a long run.

Liquid is not looking that they will come back to Mythic any time soon.

The raiders are focused on acquiring important upgrades, spamming mostly the same Mythic+ keys each.

The question that this strategy raises is, we know that Echo did the most amount of splits of all the major guilds, and Method and BDGG together with Liquid are all behind in terms of raw item level, so will the other EU and NA contenders have to do this as well?

Posted by Horaddrim on Dec 19, 2022 at 20:17 pm (GMT)

Echo did it again! This time, way more healthier, but still instantly wiping at the beginning of the add phase, having reached 64% of the boss HP bar!

The Mythic Raszageth encounter already wiped the EU squad 74 times, but they are progressing steadily, the only question right now is if there will be a Mythic only, often called Secret Phase still waiting for us.

Method got so close! They just lowered Kurog's HP all the way down to 14.9%! They can definitely smell the blood in the water, and once any of the top guilds in the race do, they become unstoppable!

They are only 42 pulls in, 17 pulls less then Liquid still, so were definitely seeing some Mythic Broodkeeper for them today!

The other side of the epic head-to-head going on for the Raszageth glory is just waking up!

Liquid is with an average item level across their main raid composition of 403! That's just below Echo, currently at the 404.5 mark, and maybe for that reason, they are starting the day with some raiders spamming some Mythic+ keys!

It will be interesting to see how the time management for them plays out today, since yesterday they burned a bit of the time advantage they had to gear an extra Evoker for the challenging knockbacks in the encounter ahead of them.

Echo is on fire! After being pushed out of Raszageth's platform for 68 times, they finally got it down to the add phase!

And now we know know for sure that she phases with the same percentage as in Heroic, 65% percent, that's a very important piece of information for Method, BDGG that should be reaching the boss pretty soon, and obviously for Liquid on the head-to-head race!

BDGG continued their progress on Kurog and get a best pull of 43.39%. Will we see these teams on Broodkeeper tonight? Liquid, the current race leaders had a best pull of 70.43% on Raszageth.

In the EU Echo are still offline after a late-night pulling and killing Broodkeeper and moving on to Raszageth. Method is up and pulling Dathea after 84 pulls they have a best pull of 15.3% hopefully we see this boss fall over for them today and they can start catching up with the front runners again.

Liquid is actually pushing their advantage, using the time gained by defeating the Mythic Broodkeeper encounter so early in their raiding day. They are currently running a Heroic split, funneling gear on some specific characters that they believe will be important for the progression ahead of them on the Mythic Raszageth encounter.

Imperative did some pulls on Mythic Dathea, but ultimately decided to call it a day, and get some well deserved rest.

Liquid is back from their dinner break, and before going back to Mythic Raszageth they will apparently do a quick Normal split, to funnel gear into another Preservation Evoker, which would make sense since earlier in progression they mentioned switching a Priest to an extra Evoker.

The knockback mechanic seems to be the only reason behind the change, since the Evoker only spell Time Spiral gets crazy value by helping them survive.

Liquid apparently got into a very hard wall in the Mythic Raszageth encounter! And funny enough, its not a damage check, or a healing one.

The Mythic version of the encounter removes the puddles that slows you on Heroic and Normal, making the huge knockback from the boss the biggest challenge on P1. They are apparently even considering swapping some low mobility classes since they haven't managed to survive the third cast yet!

Their personal best is still at 70.4% after 32 attempts already, and they got this percentage 8 pulls ago.

And Imperative is trying to get back consistently to P3 on Mythic Sennarth, because they know they can killed it, they just need a clean P3.

BDGG just killed Mythic Dathea and decided to try to squeeze some extra Mythic+ runs before coming back to the raid to face the very hard Mythic Kurog Grimtotem.

Imperative is still pushing Mythic Sennarth, having reached a heartbreaking wipe at 3.8% of the boss HP after 47 attempts.

Instant Dollars is keeping up with their impressive performance from yesterday, having already pushed all the way down the 23.7% mark on Mythic Dathea's HP bar, and with the closest guilds being FatSharkYes and Method, both EU guilds and currently sleeping, they have a big chance here to swoop the World 4th and keep the Dark Horse run alive, and set the stage to massively improve their performance from last tier, where they reached World 10th on Mythic The Jailer, but they still have ground to cover since Method is sitting at 15% as their best percentage already.

At the end of the 5th day at night look to the west.

We have seen one great day in terms of progress. Our friends over in Asia 火锅超界 (Huo Guo Chao Jie) and 天涯 (Skyline), catch up with, Method, FatSharkYes and Instant Dollars on 4 of 8 mythic and both teams making a good start on progressing Dathea with best pulls of 61.56% and 58.13% retrospectively, meaning that on the leaderboard Skyline is ahead of Huo Guo Chao Jie despite the latter killing Sennarth first by about an hour.Over in the west, we start with the team in Black and Orange, Method, had a great start to the day killing both Terros and Sennarth within a few hours of each other. We then proceeded to see them make some great progress on Dathea and after 73 pulls we see a best of 15.34%. Method decided to call it a night at about midnight CET, to allow the team to get a good night's rest before another day of solid progress. Echo killed Broodkeeper after 46 pulls and many chants of “One more pull” fair play to them for going over time tonight to get the kill. FatSharkYes are making steady progress on Dathea with a best of 40.4%

Our North American brothers and sisters had a great start to their day which hasn’t long started. We have seen Liquid defeat Broodkeeper less than an hour ago before they went to lunch and will then see the first mythic pulls on Raszageth, The Storm-Eater, the hype intensifies, but begs the question will world first be claimed before the NA reset or will it tip over? Our friends over in BDGG have now defeated Dathea and move on to Kurog and Instant Dollars are making steady progress on her with the best pull of 36.11%. Imperative are progressing Sennarth, The Cold Breath with a best pull of 4.79% hopefully that will fall down for them soon and we will see them progressing Dathea.

It’s starting to look like we are seeing 2 very different races, one for world first between Liquid and Echo and another for World third between Method, FatSharkYes, BDGG, and Instant Dollars. That being said I know Method is currently doing what's called the #BigBrainStrat which may change everything over the next 24 to 48 hours. If they are doing what I personally think they are doing then this changes everything.

What an unstoppable squad! Even though Echo is raiding for more than 16 hours at this point, after defeating Mythic Broodkeeper they still found strength to do some pulls on Raszageth, already pushing for 91% of the boss HP.

They called a day for now, but this just shows that they are far from defeated, and if anything, they are more motivated to get back at Liquid tomorrow, for a full day on the angry dragon

Liquid is looking to push their lead forward! With the first look of Mythic Raszageth we can already see a major difference!

The zones that usually slows you during the major pushback mechanic are not the same, lets see as they progress how you are suppose to deal with that mechanic instead.

With Bloodlust used on pull, their personal best is already at 90%, but with almost more than half Billion Health Points, there's still a lot of progression for them

Liquid got another close call a few pulls ago, but they decided to cool it off a bit, after repeating mistakes on P1 and P2.

Meanwhile, Echo already pulling Mythic Broodkeeper again! Can this be the pull?

Echo haven't pulled Mythic Broodkeeper since their last pull, which got them to their current best percentage of 11.9%, maybe they are seeing something that we don't?

They pretty much matched Liquid's best pull with a similar strategy, so maybe its just a matter of refining some rough spots on P3.

Our current status for the front runners is:

Echo and Liquid are head-to-head, with Liquid slightly ahead in the mayhem of the Mythic Broodkeeper Diurna encounter.

Method, BDGG, FatSharkYes and Skyline are all progressing on Mythic Dathea with different levels of progression, but Method is leading with the lower best percentage, having reached 42.5% on the boss' HP bar after 51 attempts.

An interesting difference between healer compositions for Liquid and Echo is that the NA squad is currently setup with 2 Holy Priests, 1 Discipline Priest, a Holy Paladin and an Evoker closing out the 5th position.

Echo on the other hand is running the same classes, but in different distributions, with 1 Holy and 1 Discipline Priests, the Holy Paladin and 2 Evokers.

It will be interesting to see who is the target for the Power Infusion from the extra Priest that Liquid got going on, and how much of a difference can it make in terms of damage output.

• Imperative turned in for the night

The major change the NA team is bringing right now, is a third tank! They are running double Blood Death Knights and one Protection Warrior, just showing how important the add management is for this encounter.

We haven't been talking much about it, but this is the current Tier Set status:Liquid who is currently pulling Mythic Broodkeeper Diurna, have 17 4-piece bonus active on the raid, and believe or not, their Blood Death Knight is not even with 2-pieces, but still going strong.

Echo who is still working on Mythic Kurog Grimtotem, have the same 17 4-piece count, but everybody else have the 2-piece effect working.

BDGG by the time they defeated Mythic Sennarth had the same 17 4-piece bonuses.

Method is the currently sitting at 18 4-piece bonuses active by the time they defeated Mythic The Primal Council.

And for a point of comparison, Instant Dollars are progressing on Mythic Dathea with 13 4-piece effects working.

And another break for Liquid! They stop for dinner now, but they got pretty good progress in terms of eggs destroyed, but still haven't made to their personal best again.

Another thing that is different from last time is gear wise, their characters got pretty significant upgrades, with some raiders even already committing their Valor points, and this levelled a bit the difference between them and Echo , with now both sitting at an average of 402 item level across the raiders.

Liquid got a shift in strategy in the last pulls, bringing more DPS players to hit only the boss, lowering their best percentage to just above 70%, but they are having problems dealing with actually matters in P1, the eggs.

They haven't matched their personal best of 2 out of 32 eggs destroyed before the soft enrage, so let's see how this new strategy will pay out for them.

Liquid just decided that the damage check in the chaotic Mythic Broodkeeper encounter was a little too much for them right now, and most raiders are already rushing to get some Mythic+ keys done.

This information is vital, because this can mean that Echo and Method's strategy will pay out for them, but the NA squad already got plenty of experience in the first phase of the encounter, and they know exactly what they need to do and what gear pieces to prioritize, something that the EU guilds will have to wait to see for themselves.

Liquid just got an amazing pull on Mythic Broodkeeper, going all the way down to 4 eggs remaining, still 92% remaining of the boss HP.

This pull was important to see when the soft enrage barrier is set, and we learn that you have about 5 minutes and a half to break all 32 eggs and phase the boss. This for sure will be a challenging encounter

Liquid just got a few pulls in, but I think it will be extremely important to mention that to track boss HP for this fight, at least for now, will be deceiving.

The NA squad got their personal best for Mythic Broodkeeper sitting at 93%, but they got all the way down to 14 eggs remaining in the room (out of 32), which is very close to P2 already, so lets keep an eye for when they can reach P2 since this fight is very intensive on the number of add spawns!

And it seems like Method decided not to keep pushing Mythic today. They went instead and got a very high number of Mythic+ keys and if we can learn anything from Echo, is that this gear is very valuable in cutting corners and shaving pull counts so far.

Speaking of Echo, they are making hasty progress on Mythic Kurog, having reached 45.7% on the boss after just 7 pulls.

Liquid, who just defeated Mythic Kurog, got the encounter done after 59 pulls and they decided to take their lunch break, and come back for our first look after the buff on Mythic Broodkeeper Diurna!

Echo have had progressively better pulls in pulls 1 through 3. Based on a clean pull, they certainly have the damage to kill the boss.

Jeathe, a former Echo player and currently casting on Echo's stream, believes that Echo has been bringing a lower geared character they don't want to use for progress to each Mythic boss (for the first 2 bosses at least) to bank loot on. Giving them more flexibility on funneling gear to the best characters.

As for Instant Dollars they got only 12 4 piece effects working, with 5 DPS players only having 2 tier pieces as of the Mythic Terros kill for both.

Let's see how this difference will manifest in their direct competition for Mythic Sennarth!

We haven't been talking much about Tier pieces, but an interesting fact, Liquid got 4 pieces on all their DPS and Healer characters (as of the kill on Mythic Dathea) and only one of the tanks currently don't have the 4 piece bonus active, but have the 2 piece effect.

In a few hours, it will be interesting to see how Echo and Method will distribute theirs, and if that explains the long session of splits today.

Instant Dollars is ready to get some pulls on Mythic Sennarth, bringing the race to an interesting Head-to-Head dispute!

Can BDGG, currently sitting at 9.25% after 37 attempts pull it off, or will Instant Dollars swoop them out of the glory for World 2nd?

In an interesting development for Liquid, they just dropped their personal best for a whopping 7.5%!

In the middle of last pull, after a raid wide freeze we believe a hotfix was pushed, adding an extra add to the main platform, but nerfing the boss HP by about 15%, and by the looks of it, this was a pretty significant nerf, since the NA squad was able to drop their best percentage right away.

Good night day 3

Today we have seen a wide variety of content and kills. We have seen mythic plus, splits, and mythic progress! It has been an exciting day!

We saw Echo finish their splits and then do some mythic plus, I would like to think that they will be starting mythic first thing.

Our guys in black and orange, Method, have been smashing every bit of content they can, heroic splits, mythic plus, crafting gear, and not to forget the real end game… spreadsheet analysis on what gear has dropped for them.

Liquid started later in the day than normal and jumped straight in mythic progress, and solid progress they have been making, with a best pull of 42.1%. Have they got a secret strat of staying up later? Did their raiders just need a good old rest after days of splits? Only progress will give us the answer.

BDGG entered the mythic race today! They knocked down the first 2 bosses with relative ease. Terros proved to be a bit more of a stone wall for them, but they took the boss down after 16 pulls, moving them to 3 out of 8 mythic.

My personal prediction for overnight is that BDGG will catch up with Liquid and join them on Dathea. I think Liquid will either be ready to kill Dathea on their next raid day, or kill it before bed.

The EU Race to World First guilds are starting to wake up and prepare for (hopefully) a day of Mythic progress today. Its quite likely that we see them start with Heroic Raszageth, as there are currently no EU guilds to have defeated the boss on Heroic, so it will be interesting to see the early race strategy for EU compared to US guilds.

Do they clear up to Liquid's progress of 4/8 and return to an easier Heroic Raszageth because of the extra gear, without the downside of showing any strategy they have for a later boss such as Dathea, Ascended of Kurog Grimtotem? Or do they replicate Liquid's approach of doing Heroic Raszageth split runs and fly through the earlier Mythic bosses? We should find out today, so keep an eye on the RWF guilds today!

Speaking of US guilds, the majority have finished for today, or are close to being finished:

• Liquid are still progressing Dathea, Ascended Mythic with a current best of 61.5% with 12 pulls on the encounter.
• Poptart Corndog (Terros 39% best) are finishing their day with Mythic+
• Idiot are progressing Heroic Raszageth

Day 3 Hip Hip Hoorayyy

Wow oh wow, what a day 3 we have had. Brace yourselves we are in for a long one…

We will start with guilds over in Asia, 火锅超界 (Huo Guo Chao Jie). On their opening day they have killed up to, and including Broodkeeper, making them 7/8 and World 19th which is a tremendous achievement considering they are on day 1 of their reset. It has always been my personal opinion that if we had a global release, the Asian guilds would claim world first as they are in a league of their own.

Over in North America, guilds haven’t long started their day, and yet we see 3 NA guilds dominate the top 3 bosses of the world leader board. We have Imperative claiming 3rd place by killing Eranog and Primal council with a best pull of 44.28% on Terros. We have Vesper in 2nd, having also killed Eranog and Primal council. Currently holding the top spot is Liquid, having killed 4 out of 8 bosses. That is some great work from them, well done. At the time of writing this (23:51 GMT), BDGG haven’t entered mythic.

Now, let's turn our attention closer to home with our EU teams. Our top contenders, Echo and Method, haven’t touched mythic yet. Method have called it a day and Echo are still doing splits. Will we see some EU guilds showing up tomorrow? However, we do have some mythic progress here in the EU with Tony Halme Pro Skater , Sabotage, The Next Step and Innominatum achieving 2/8 mythic. So here we have some fresh names getting ahead of last tiers rank first and second. This race is really starting to take flight, and I don't know about you, but I’m roaring with anticipation to see what happens on day 4!

My predictions are that we see Liquid make some great progress over night, but maybe not get another kill due to the fact that they are starting to get to some of the more tricky bosses in Dathea and Kurog. I also think that with Method ending earlier than normal tonight, with Echo still splitting, I would like to think that we see these top contenders start knocking down some bosses first thing. I hope Method are ready, as I know their secret weapon is.

As the first day of raiding ends for the Asia region, Huo Guo Chao Jie (火锅超界) leads the pack having already reached 7/8 heroic. Skyline (天涯) is just behind with 6/8 heroic bosses defeated.

It will be interesting to see how quickly they close the gap to getting into Mythic!

While we continue to live in Splitsville, here is a bit of RWF trivia for you!

During Shadowlands, which DPS spec was the most used on World First kills?

The answer is Boomkin, with 65 included in the first kill of all mythic bosses. This is 15% of all DPS present, both ranged and melee!

Method's break is over, and they continue their Heroic splits, currently pulling Broodkeeper Diurna.

Echo appear to be having a meeting, so we should see their next move shortly.

FatSharkYes players continue to do Mythic+, we assume until their team is ready to return to raiding.

With today being Thursday, realms in Asia have also unlocked with their weekly reset.

The majority of guilds in these regions are following a similar approach that we've seen across the NA and EU regions, normal splits, and then presumably the next step being heroic splits.

EU are starting up their engines for their second day.

Echo are in normal to try and get a few last bits of gear, are they preparing for Mythic? What are our team in Orange and Black doing? Well I think after the beast of a day they had yesterday I would like to think that they are waking up refreshed and getting ready for some pulls. The question is, will they head to Mythic or run more splits? The Method stream is up so tune in to find out.

The majority of the US guilds have headed offline after setting the fire alight on Mythic boss kills today.

In the lead currently, is Vesper, having taken both World First Eranog and World First The Primal Council. They are the only guild so far to have attempted pulls on Terros, achieving a best of 48.4% after only 5 pulls.

After finishing more Heroic splits, Method and Echo are taking a lunch break. Some of the players taking this as a chance to do a couple of Mythic+ keys.

With splits being almost completed (surely?), I think we can expect to see some EU Mythic action later today!

Liquid just took down Heroic Dathea, joining other guilds in the 6/8 mark.

Meanwhile, Instant Dollars is back at the Vault, progressing on Heroic Dathea while BDGG is deep down the splits rabbit hole.

Day 2 Splits Boogaloo

The second day of the Vault of the Incarnates: Race to World First started a lot earlier than we have seen before with the EU servers coming up at 5am CET and what did our glorious EU contenders do… splits! The Method channel sprung to life with the glory of Kexman and Samtalkz, at the turn of the hour the splits began and Method opted to go for two runs at a time, whereas the current reigning champions, Echo, were running three at time.

Our combatants started with normal splits before going to heroic at the time of writing this, 00:42 GMT, no team has defeated Raszageth on Heroic. What we have seen is that there are now eight teams that have killed Kurog Grimtotem, including our home team Method. Bigger still we saw the heroic progression move forward once more boss as four teams took down Broodkeeper Diurna which saw three EU teams take the first three kills on her, which leaves us with Echo leading the race followed by FatSharkYes and Revolutionist. BDGG were soon to come up behind to take the 4th spot.

As our NA friends start their day we see a combination of approaches, BDGG and Imperative are doing splits and Liquid have been doing Mythic plus keys. At the time of writing this 00:42 GMT Liquid were having a meeting and then some lunch, and judging by what they're menu looks like it's going to be tasty, but not as tasty as what we will wake up to on the morrow from our NA friends.

The question on everyone's lips right now is when will we see some mythic kills? Will it be on Thursday? I personally am hoping so. But what else does Thursday bring, our friends over in Asia entering the race and we know from the past they are like Raszageth’s wind, fierce, deadly and fast. What tremendous performance will we see from them? How long will it take them to catch up? Will we see an Asian guild take world first? I guess you will have to keep an eye on the app and the Method stream for more information.

And Vesper pulled ahead!

Having reached the furthest into the Heroic Raszageth encounter, they are now sitting at 54.5% as their personal best!

While Liquid has been doing Mythic+ runs, Imperative is deep into their reclear, having just reached Heroic Kurog Grimtotem with their alt characters.

BDGG, on the other hand, got their sights set for another 411 item level pieces but Heroic Broodkeeper Diurna is standing between them and the chest.

Speaking of NA, we have Imperative kicking out their raiding day having recleared most of the raid in Heroic, and with a full Normal run already in the bag.

On the other hand, BDGG is pushing more Normal runs, while Liquid is catching up on Heroic progress still, but having defeated Heroic Kurog Grimtotem already they are changing gears to focus on Mythic+ runs.

With Method and Echo closing out the day, we are left with a pretty good situation, both guilds got pretty far into Heroic already, meaning that there is more time tomorrow to hopefully some Mythic action.

We still have FatSharkYes doing some last minute rares and quests, but the ball is currently with NA, to match the progression so far, and maybe already give us some Mythic Eranog pulls?

As were getting closer and closer to the end of Day 1 for EU, we have FatSharkYes back on Heroic Broodkeeper Diurna during their reclear, together with BDGG and Echo.

Method is doing even more Heroic splits and the same goes for Liquid.

Meanwhile, both Vesper for the US, and Revolutionist for the EU are pushing Heroic Raszageth but they are still to beat Echo percentage, with both best pull percentages sitting at 64%, right after phase 2.

Vesper is still pushing Heroic Raszageth, having reached almost the same milestone as Echo, with 64% on the boss' health bar after 7 pulls.

Meanwhile, most other guilds are on various stages of Heroic splits, and the Asia Realms are the next realms to receive their patch, so soon we will be able to compare every region's strategy, and hopefully by then, we can see some Mythic action.

Revolutionist (EU-Ragnaros) were also able to overcome the Heroic Broodkeeper Diurna encounter, becoming the 4th guild to break into the 7/8 mark.

Let's see, if like Vesper they will give a shot at Heroic Raszageth

Looks like Vesper is taking on the challenge, having pulled Heroic Raszageth and currently sitting at 79% as their personal best for boss HP.

Will they be able to overcome the encounter? Living up to her name, this 4 platform fight is loaded with pushing winds and lightning and LOTS of damage, but they are ready to try, and that deserves respect.

With blistering fast progress, Liquid just killed Heroic Kurog Grimtotem, and are now getting ready to face Heroic Dathea.

Will they be able to match Echo and FatSharkYes and get to Heroic Raszageth so early in the raid day?

FatSharkYes just joined Echo having downed Heroic Broodkeeper Diurna in the 7/8 gang!

But they immediately turned around and started a Heroic reclear with alt characters, so no Heroic Raszageth progression for us.

Meanwhile, across the pond in the NA servers, Liquid is finally starting their Heroic splits while BDGG is taking a little break between theirs.

We still have a long day ahead of the NA guilds so, we hopefully may see Heroic Broodkeeper Diurna fall for them today, maybe even a new best on Heroic Raszageth?
