Liquid Claim World First!!! Race to World First Recap Day 12

[@deviedownbad]

Dratnos ask for a raise, you're casting + these videos have kept the RWF interesting the entire way through. shout out for the tettles chemistry too

[@Pavton]

But keep paying Tettles in exposure he likes it

[@nonduality8915]

Second this, I pretty much only watch for Dratnos

[@Tengzhichong]

what chemistry 🤣

[@kallathor3863]

Dratnos def deserve

[@ryanpower1291]

Honestly if it wasn't for dratnos and tettles I wouldn't bother tuning in because I wouldn't be kept up with all that's going on

[@Zacsafus]

What a cast from Dratnos also. There's a reason the Liquid stream eclipsed Max's at the end. What a performance from Liquid, but also what a performance from Dratnos and all the casters and admin behind the Liquid stream.

[@fabiusque4266]

Honestly, I would love to see a tier without those casting channels. Except for like the first 10 pulls and maybe the last 5, those channels are getting boring quite fast. I will always stick to Max's channel because that one is where the information is, which pretty much is why i personally watch it in the first place.

[@gustavo7074]

​@@fabiusque4266to be fair is an event really hard to cast and be entertaining. It can be fun only on the very last day. When the pulls are getting closer and closer.

[@Sengyizhe]

Thate because max is annoying as fuck and good luck watching the stream in between all the ads

[@thebigler]

@@fabiusque4266your take is pretty boring 😂. The main comment gets 150+ likes, and you are only one who likes your own comment. 😅

[@PhoTC]

@@fabiusque4266 they literally brought so much hype, watching just max forever is supremely boring. without the other you also don't get multiple povs during the race or any analysis that Max *doesn't* want to share immediately on stream.

I'm an Echo fan but Liquid was very impressive to watch this Tier. I also enjoy their stream more than in the past, also thanks to you two. Great race, great coverage. Now onto Worlds and AWC 🤓

[@Peatopher90]

at the end there, Max was talking about how Dratnos doesn't charge much for his services and made TL a bunch of money so you should march into Max's gamer den and demand a bonus imo

[@seraph...4473]

True

[@deadclicks]

Gotta be one of the best screams in a long time. Max having the time to stand up and scream "KILL IT" might be iconic. THD silently saving the raid was insane too. You guys did an awesome job w/ the recap series njnj

[@gn0stica536]

Thdlock's baller move on that essence near the end. That was crazy. He saved the day.

[@oregonsdank]

It being so late might have saved the world first. They had to sleep within few hours. Echo would have woke with a chance so they woulda been more motivated but I guess also method was on them

[@murmurrrr]

Liquid played so well, Echo below par and Method much better than expected.

[@stefanchiric3691]

Yeah that's probably the best description of the race

[@CatDad312]

I wasn’t surprised by Method, they’ve been proving themselves to be a competent competitor these days and having Preach on their squad says a lot.

[@LPerro_]

Huge W for Liquid all around. Not only the players, but the casters were absolutely great to watch this tier. I had the Liquid Stream playing constantly even though I was watching from central EU.

[@spaRTan3246]

Meeix should be called „The Castress“ from now on. 😬

[@TheSwordOfTheJedi-u2p]

Meeix is meh. She doesn't really bring a lot to the table. She also doesn't understand there are times when you want to talk and times you want the game play to speak for itself. Tettles: He can be incredibly annoying. Jack; Jack can't explain anything without being condescending; every time he opens his mouth to explain a mechanic it's like he thinks he's talking to 5 year olds. And nobody wants to listen to him go into the minutia of healer talk (and I say this as a healer of 20 years). Kalamazi: If I hear him mention Florida, or Floridaman one more time I'm going to lose it. Don't blame your stupidity on where you were born. The man is a buffoon. Xyro: He's forgettable. Eiya: She's a pretty good host. She does sometimes let tangents take over the broadcast for too long. She also has zero game knowledge. Kams: Kams is pretty good, but he's not exactly the most expressive fellow. Dratnos: Dratnos is just great at what he does. He has tons of knowledge, is great at "play by play" explains things in a way that doesn't treat the audience like idiots or like he's the only one who has that knowledge (unlike Jack). Dratnos can also shoot the shit intelligently on random topics. TL was lucky (and so were the viewers) that Dratnos was on duty when the WF kill happened. I will say TL's production is light years better than Echo or Method. And TL clearly has more fun, allows for lightheartedness. Watching Echo or Method is like watching a funeral.

[@ChronicHabit42]

final words, "I look good, damn!" LOL

[@Skwiddd]

Fantastic effort from everyone at liquid, casters and support staff included. This was by far the best viewing experience for a race ever.

[@movntn]

Thanks for all the recap videos! Please bring them back next tier

[@Aethermie]

Shout out to Blizzard for class balancing this tier as well. Besides couple of broken-tier specs (pres evoker ofc) it's the wildest spec diversity we've seen in RWF in a while top-3 guilds used so many different things, most classes were represented by 2-3 specs all evoker-specs, all warlock specs, all rogues specs, all shaman specs, all paladin specs, 3 druid specs (Method had a resto in first bosses tho), 2 DK specs, 2 hunter specs. A really good job IMHO.

[@slandry4664]

Pres evokers doing 100% more healing then any other healer is def great balancing. If this happened on the DPS side you wouldn't be saying great balancing

Liquid looked the best they've ever been. Echo looked... pretty inconsistent and frankly stale compared to the last like 4 YEARS?

Echo should be very nervous cuz with more work Method looks to eclipse them (they could still beat them this race lol its crazy close)

Great race, thanks for going the extra mile every day to put these videos up.

[@needsanameedit4982]

Nice to see an expansion launch raid that isn't riddled with bugs or in need of massive nerfs to make the raid die before a deadline. Tuning was questionable with the one-tank boss but whatever it still died.

[@CatDad312]

That’s kind of what the mythic race is for sadly enough. Blizzard only tests the mechanics on mythic, not that the bosses can mathematically be killed with current gear lol

[@morgenmuffel5747]

@@CatDad312 Oh, please. That contorted logic is so tired. He’s an extremely talented player, but it was an obvious exploit and a form of cheating. He knew it was such, which is why he went to all the trouble of creating a fake ui target frame to deliberately conceal what he was doing. Moreover, when he got caught cheating and publicly called out by multiple people for doing so, he immediately abandoned that hero talent, and deleted his fake ui frame.

[@CatDad312]

@@morgenmuffel5747 You actually have no idea what you’re talking about. Blizzard isn’t going to just hand out bans over something insignificant like minor % damage buff on wipe attempts that didn’t yield boss kills. Broodtwister isn’t a percentage phase fight. The extra damage gained did nothing, they were still hitting the enrage timers regardless. If you think this remotely contributed to their kill at all, you weren’t watching the race. If you think this was ban worthy, Blizzard would have to go back and revoke Echo’s WF Fyrakk kill considering they definitely DID cheat.

@@morgenmuffel5747 He concealed it so Echo wouldn't notice and start doing it themselves lmao. That's what Gingi was mad about, he was just pissed he didn't do it first.
