How Liquid Guild Raids - Answering Some FAQ

Here's answering some FAQ about how we actually raid and what we've learned about health while being under Liquid.

Man, watching this I wish I had Thorne and Heidi taking care of my health full time lol

[@RIVAL89]

id bet the cold hands thing comes from adrenaline more than anything. decent look behind the curtain, good to hear everyone is trying to stay healthy for the race, good luck all.

[@gulagchampxd]

probably bad circulation from poor posture

[@Rob-jb7gb]

I know max has played hockey but I’m shocked at how smooth that shot was.

[@FusePB]

Thorne is fantastic. All vitamins aren’t created equally. Absorption is a huge factor.

[@Pokasquantas]

All I want for Christmas is to Liquid to close out DF #1

[@Expression2.0]

It feels wrong to watch this video after the RWF has just ended and I know the results 😢

[@drew6479]

How did they make the cardboard cutout move?!

[@janfrompolde]

"Treating wins like losses is how you don't get complacent" Echo could learn from this mentality. I feel like every time Liquid wins the next time they'll still give it their all whereas every time Echo wins the next time they have a slightly higher chance of playing worse because they get cocky. At this point every time Echo wins twice in a row it's pretty much guaranteed they'll lose because they wind up playing so poorly. With how evenly matched the two guilds are that is more than enough for Liquid to decimate them. Also wow, the behind the scenes roster at Liquid is stacked!

[@chill9871]

Please give me one example where echo played worse because they got cocky other than "i feel like they got cock"

[@ThaSouthstar]

Always an Excuse, must be living in the USA

[@Jotskyonline]

I know it's a hard and/or too personal of a question to ask, but I would be curious to know what are the real life costs attached to doing this race either as a whole org or a personal point of view.. Just a rough estimate: plane tickets, lodging, food, suppliments, the locaiton that the raid takes place in and all other kinds of extra attached to it.

awesome video !

This is fucking wild. Love it.

[@JTRAP1000]

Which keyboard and mouse do they use?? As a fan I would love to rock that

[@TheFeintNASS]

Liquid is sponsored by Alienware, but I would bet each player has their own gear that they use, so there isn't a universal best. Max used some janky mouse and had said many times he doesn't recommend it for anyone else. Use whatever feels good to you.

Watched the t.swift kill from the current race last night, excellent stuff so far. Liquid is far and away the best collection of WoW players in the planet. Hoping Fyrakk does fast and first for the gang !

Wait how did Max get 10 years younger with him growing a beard?

[@web3wonder]

I met Max at blizzcon and he is super fit/skinny compared to years past, he definitely takes care of himself and I was surprised compared to the average wow gamer how fit he is. Esp considering the avg blizzcon attendee looks like cartman.

[@kylechermak7092]

@@web3wonder he’s also a natural athlete from all the years of really high level travel hockey. That’s a type of strength you need years to atrophy from I feel like.

Max did a throne commercial before the race. Claimed they won. When they lost and ran the commercial. They thought they would win? 🤣

He also said on stream he runs like three times a week and does the bike daily. You gotta remember that’s way more than most gamers

But your 10 second tiktok attention span stopped at hockey and then you criticise it as if it isn't your worthless brain which is the issue.

yea this was really cringe about 3/4s of the way thru. has this stuff you've dosed out to the players even been fda approved. kind of an important thing to disclose since most "supplements" that come otc / off the shelf / from a website usually arent. since the majority of the warcraft audience are under age/mid twenties this might throw up some red flags with blizzard. im just saying might not wanna peddle drugs prescription or otherwise in advertisments that are attactched to corporate I.P

[@ViTIRoXgamingTV]

It‘s just melatonine , theanine and Chamomille extract. And all quite mildly dosed. No prescription drugs or anything the like.

[@billymays9296]

Lil bro was in such a hurry to act smart that he forgot to use his brain. Do you GENUINELY think that Liquid, the organisation, which spans way beyond WoW and isn't even really known for WoW, would approve showcasing these supplements if they weren't legal or were sketchy? Like bro, you genuinely think you're smarter than every single person at Liquid? If the supplements were illegal or sketchy then they would have just never showcased them you absolute mouth-breathing ape.

EU wil always be the best, NA wil always come with an excuse why EU won blahblahblah.... even recruited EU players to be part of NA???.... KEK.... don't pitty people who chose to go for RWF... the get payed and supported thru the game. blahblahblah

[@kind2rethink]

Well eat healthy and drink good stuff that powder is trash also seeing whey protein used for gamers you dont need any protein because you dont work out for mister universe alsi your food has more than enough😂😂😂

[@carrcossa]

no offence attached, but by looking at most of their raiders, assuming their diet is not even close to what their bodies need (burgers + nuggets as mentioned in the clip might not be all they need x) ), a little protein shake could help some of them to prevent losing mustle and body mass during the run xD BUT, I might be wrong x)

[@jaredjamesimages]

Thorne is top tier shit!

[@Icemaynee]

Whey protein is a supplement to help fit protein into your diet. Lets be honest, gamers arent going to have well tuned diets and getting enough nutrients. The average person doesnt get enough protein in their diet. People need protein to prevent muscle atrophy even jf they dont work out. It is always better to eat natural food than drink processed powder but getting enough nutrients is more important.

[@Hunchojk]

I get my creatine from thorne

[@Drew71707]

Everyone should eat protein, yeah gamers aren’t putting on 20 lbs of a muscle a year, but protein is a very valuable part of your diet..if there’s a bunch of guys who’s protein intake has been entirely chicken nuggets their entire life a protein shake isn’t so bad
