When will blizzard even the playing fields with global release or even tournament realm
lol echo throwing again didn't even kill the boss when they were ahead on it
Cleanest pull, no deaths and still a few seconds (maybe 8?) out from enrage timer. A cool fight to watch

Ah, the reset, the teleport from being even or little behind to 10h in the lead card.
I always found the event exciting and interesting in the past. But it’s becoming less and less significant, simply because there’s no global release. An ID reset plus gear just makes too much of a difference. And no, I’m not a giga echo fanboy — I was a fan of the event itself and the feeling. At the moment, I really only watch because of the community and I enjoy the atmosphere. But it has little to do with a real world first.
this raid tier's going by fast
Its only 4 Arcane mages, slam another 3% aura buff next week!
In RWF, being the first to start usually doesn't matter. It usually has a few disadvantages, such as reducing the number of attempts on the first few bosses, even if it won't matter in the long run. You can't turn the stream off because the sponsors won't agree to it.The only advantage to being the first to start is if Liquid was already on the last boss and just needed a bit more gear to finish it off., like a centain kill dThe last few times Liquid lost had nothing to do with anything other than Echo being much better at the last boss, like Fyrakk, with fewer tries to kill it.But maybe on a very easy boss like Gallywix? However, it's more likely that Blizzard got the balance wrong for the last boss.The worst thing for RWF is having to do so many split runs for alts with the extra rare and ultra rare loot in the last seasons, yet no one comes here to complain about it.
Glad they had a reset and vault items 1 day „ahead“.
it feels like Liberation of Undermine and Manaforge were not that challenging for these guilds. Nerub-ar Palace was much more fun to watch ngl.
The only way this race will be completely fair is to measure time spent from the first pull on mythic boss 1 to kill of final mythic boss within set raiding windows (12 hours per day). That will remove the need for a global release and will bring a focus back into the time taken on chores vs progress. As it stands now, Liquid has had 8 days of raiding which includes 1 full day on higher gear power. EU is only starting day 8 now and getting that high gear power now. So fair determination of winner would be NA kills 8/8 in hour 10 of raiding day 9 and EU kills 8/8 hour 11 of their day 9, NA wins, but if EU kills hour 5 of day 9, EU wins.Basically, the basic of any race on equal measurement of start, took less time to do the same task/ distance/ goal, etc.
