[@Forcer69]

My favorite moment was when Datto got a World’s First, truly a moment of all time.

[@andrew4446]

Your memes keep me sane

[@dova3050]

the footage of Datto getting World's First for every raid is kept classified by the government

[@epicponedge1177]

Copium He'll get it this time.

[@ilsleetli259]

That's wrong. But funny.

[@JungKooksTwin]

kinda fucked up

[@josephpolitano8091]

It would be beautifully poetic if datto got worlds first in the final shape raid, he was there since the beginning and has never won now he’s here at the end and finally won, truly a moment

[@phoenix9531]

He won vault didn't he

[@AKblaze25]

@@phoenix9531 different team from his clan

[@Loonfuzzy]

I've been saying he'll win final shape and istg I will quit destiny if he doesn't

[@UnKnOvvNPeRsOnA]

lol

[@alyoshamikhaylov7651]

Considering the day 1 raid today. Nah The final raid gonna be just as easy as patrol, Salt will finish it under 1 hour, and thats it. Destiny 3 gonna be in mobile game

[@Jeff-so6hy]

Last wish world's first race was a truly golden moment for Bungie history.

[@drewSD463]

Last wish was huge. Seriously made watching the world's first races something to watch from that point on i think

[@CrunchyKieran15]

Professor Bromans team going down the maintenance shafts instead of the Calus room costing them worlds first is iconic

[@owainerskine8454]

Sweat's "Flesh all you buddy" on Queenswalk is synonymous

[@zanthemeximan]

Last Wish will always be such an Epic raid.

[@DarkSkinDoffy]

I love how there were consequences to actually clearing The Last Wish raid and the cutscene after is just salt on the wound; basically Bungie pointing the finger at the World’s First team and going “Yeah, see this curse? This is YOUR fault” 🤣

[@RandomUser7777777]

Riven basically had 3 last stands tbh. The parkour, the dps, and the heart. Then a follow up encounter. That thing is a great raid

[@Spartan-sz7km]

Riven has an entire encounter for her last stand LOL We'll never see a last wish style raid but at least the scale and awe matches with vow and probably root of nightmare this time

[@Bushwhaker]

Forsaken and The Last Wish will always be peak destiny to me

[@burns0100]

We all know Datto is just saving up all his world firsts for the final Destiny 2 Raid. Everyone remembers the first and the last.

[@xTGE]

Gothalions reaction for kings fall will always be the best moment I was able to watch

[@yanebeeter]

THIS IS HIS YEAR. THE GOAT. THE OG. DATTO.

[@Blazer_491]

Personal favourite moment is the King's Fall World's First, as hearing about it was my first exposure to Destiny. After doing some exploring into the game and what it was like, I picked up the legendary edition and an Xbox 360 (feel free to laugh, I don't mind) as soon as I could and the rest was history.

[@ASF77]

Run while you still can XD

[@KeatanDay]

Datto is truly unlucky. 6 minutes in 2nd in Crown of Sorrow and then 3 minutes in 2nd for Vow and also 24:02. Not to mention second place in Vault of Glass in D1.

[@MattTheHuman9]

It would be poetic if he get's world's first in The Final Shape raid

[@jigui2669]

I'm not a big part of the D2 community, I don't play the game but watch it occasionally. My favourite raid moment definitly was Datto's group (Math Lab) clearing Last Wish 2 minute after the time limit. It was surreal seeing them succeed but fail at the same time!

[@fatefulwaffle]

*Math Class. If I recall correctly his team was also Team Brenda of the clan

[@joe.osullivan]

Kings Fall is easily my favorite. Goth's reaction brings so much joy

[@booshwilson8814]

TFue was also the first person to solo Skolas when prison of elders was new. I was in his chat when he did it!

[@KingWizard26]

Screw Elysium and Salt. Hoping for literally anyone but them to win tomorrow.

[@CronaD2]

Cornball comment

[@Banana-Boi]

You got your wish.

[@ericbaek3706]

King fall has the most omgwtf boss moment. But the riven fight is epic.

[@fishnutz5196]

MathClass have to be one of if not the most consistant team though. Being first in VoG back in 2014 then years later in 2021 still coming 2nd at Vow is impressive

[@Occurredxz]

the leviathan was one of my favorite raids

[@CoBrhilot]

Aaaah yes this was a goodie man , fav moments when Leopard got the kill this WH on dead animations on VoD raid haha 😂

[@shotokanrob2487]

I never caught a lot of Day One Raids but my main guy for watching Kings Fall was Gothalion and man, THAT reaction. Rooted for those boys every raid since and I think of “IM GOING TO SPACE-IM IN SPACE!!” All the time 😂😂

[@ZombieBacon13]

I watched him day one as well. I was in high school at the time and faked sick just to play the raid and watch the stream

[@nathanowen8456]

Can't wait for you're legendary campaign playthrough explanation cause I literally finished calus just by throwing my strand grenade that puts up enemies both phases where a joke

[@davidhodge0201]

Can't wait to watch this.

[@Hungrybird474]

Good timing , great vid 👍

[@odinanhalt7883]

Truthfully all of these were a moment in all time

[@garymclean1679]

really nice vid!!!!!

[@vulkan4058]

My personal favorite moment was when my team was doing eater of worlds and were on the last dps phase, he was just about to wipe us when I popped my thunder crash and hit him saving the run. I’ll never forget that moment

[@xerxes2568]

I remember when SirD did a video doing the last wish where he tried to figure out every mechanic and he randomly guessed all the symbols for the vault encounter on his first try lol sweatcicile was PISSED

[@chime6709]

I love that team that beat the raid

[@skullygaming3873]

Datto deserved vow. I will forever hate elysium for that

[@TitanMcBeardy]

No one talks about how they grabbed a cp but math class didn't even though they were error coded as well and they only "lost by like 3 mins" like bruh they did the whole raid over

[@Tiger69420]

Spire is also where sweaticle became known outside his own (at the time) small group of fans

[@masaomi4417]

Thanks for this video

[@jesuschrist7833]

“If you ain’t first, you’re last”

[@biga55lizard]

Can't wait for tmrw, while competing ima have your stream in the background 🔥🔥

[@Volkx07]

That outro music slaps btw

[@trumpet-titan4122]

Are we not gonna talk about the chaos of the scourge of the past raid race

[@srbunnie]

My favorite dayone moment is when Evan resume everything on a video😅

[@mrsocko316]

My favorite part is "What part of I'm in SPACE do you not understand?!!!"

[@wrenchguy2937]

Kings fall and last wish were two golden age raids. Its something they need to go back to

[@jasonventura449]

The new raid is gonna be completed before I even get home from work lol

[@benarchyuk837]

Watching the community rejoice to Salt *not* getting Worlds first was pure perfection

[@poolpatine]

Absolutely

[@DemiAUS]

F that guy he has a ego so far up his a55 man got divinity nerfed and loads more because he says the game is to easy I saw the man die like 40 times on this new raid and I smirked so hard when I found he lost

[@adamgoesoutside]

rent free

[@ameerr0812]

yup feel good

[@ixodesricinus3001]

Math class finishing last wish 2 mins too late was also a big moment

[@HelloMyNameIsZON3]

The fact that only one team beat last wish in 24 hours is a testament to how good that raid truly is and how epic that moment was!

[@matipedi4507]

2 teams finisher under 24, reedeme 1st elysium 2nd (i think) and datto 3rd a few mints after 24

[@HelloMyNameIsZON3]

@Mati Pedi still 2 teams that is crazy

[@thecasualbean]

@@matipedi4507 the second team was Tier 1

[@blucorsa_]

@@matipedi4507 Elysium didn't exist back then, the 2nd place finish was Gigz and Tier 1

[@fine_ol_chap]

Math class has just had a bunch of bad luck on these world firsts by mere minutes

[@Omniskrub]

I wish all the teams luck but man I want datto and math class to pull through so badly

[@Dr.Giggletouch0352]

Evan has been absolutely smacking posts lately. And im not here to complain

[@1orenzomaion3]

Last Wish will forever be the greatest raid in Destiny

[@bakianimebattles640]

This shall be entertaining

[@superblahman]

Actually that is true... the fact Gladd says "Bungie please dont troll" but killing Riven causes the curse... yeah you got trolled.

[@RockYoMama]

Man, despite all its flaws I absolutely loved Eater of Worlds

[@blakeduncan9936]

It was the first raid/raid lair I ever cleared. It holds a very special place in my heart.

[@tylers6058]

My favorite raid race moment was when you raced away from paying your editors

[@OkiDingo]

I was watching ninji on the last wish raid….the reason they we’re struggling so bad on riven was because they were too under leveled. They couldn’t do enough DPS.

[@ericplank1357]

Loving all the uploads, keep it up!

[@ChickenJoe-tq6xd]

God I miss playing, I don’t have access to my ps4 account and I don’t go time to grind all the way back up :(

[@Luukfox]

Spire of star is so hard for allot of players still before it got remove people die allot on finall boss

[@crash1108]

I think Ehroar said don't troll while glad was pleading for bungie and then Gladd uttered the words because of it

[@devinrecon9580]

Lmao datto wanted to smack tf outta luke in that interview

[@justb_za5215]

The no. 1 moment in D2 raid history . . . Taniks, no no no 🤣😂

[@majesticeagle2339]

Last no one can comment after me

[@jamessalvucci3445]

Hell yeah

[@Shad0wthr0ne]

I'm surprised this video wasn't just five minutes of Teawrex's Twitch clips. XD

[@xenocyberfwagon]

I don't care if datto wins, I just wanna see saltgreppo loose

[@perfecttaxevasion9696]

Only a few more hours, boys...

[@JoakimBD]

I like the fact that the video-duration is 13:37 🥳

[@Loezz1]

What site are you using to see teams on day 1 raids?

[@platinumclaw]

If Datto ever gets World's First, the world will celebrate

[@kevinspacey3544]

You meat ride redeem so hard lol

[@claritycontrol1530]

He really does, doesn't he? They're a good clan, but whenever I think of Redeem nowadays, I think of Gladd basically being salty that he came in 33rd for DSC

[@Tuner4561]

nice

[@Neon_Detective]

Seeing the ammo for primary oof

[@theguardian308]

My top ten is seeing arrogant Datto lose every single time

[@calebhill78]

Hay even are you going to cover the raid race tomorrow?

[@3ChZer0]

yes yes yes yes

[@Sargatas]

Damn I love those stories of yours about raids and achivements of men.

[@tylerrandall05]

Datto struggled really badly with this raid lol 2nd place dynasty ended at least

[@johndiscon817]

I've never been so early.

[@adambaird8352]

How is Sweatcicle's sandwich not on here

[@topdog69jb]

Redeem the team that always figures out mechanics right after someone else

[@mopish8674]

1:35 more of a sprint rather then a marathon. Marathons are still races 🤓

[@NimbleFPS]

The sad thing is, I don't see datto, or even Sweat/Redeem for that matter, ever getting a worlds first/again bc they just don't grind the game like that anymore. This year should be quite interesting with cruz getting banned (free my boi tho)

[@emberthecatgirl8796]

13:37 time, nice

[@andrewford7243]

I don't care who wins, I just want Elysium to lose

[@Brando2501]

im calling it. there is not gonna be a 4-peat for RON tommorrow. a new crew will take the cake.

[@COREcasual]

A sprint

[@gdreyer]

Let's hope tomorrow's Raid Race goes smoothly... OMG who am I kidding? We all know it's not gonna happen, but let's at least hope it won't be as bad as Vow of the Disciple was... Godspeed to all teams!

[@scarletshivers]

its wild how 2 people of that dynasty were banned for recovs and cheating respectively

[@EmptyPringlesCan000]

sup evan

[@maxawsometheguy2870]

Honestly VOW could have designed around strand

[@johndiscon817]

Wait how is 24:01 not mentioned?

[@skull8665]

Datto’s 2 minutes late is missing

[@fuuuutttuuurrreee]

damn bro pushing out videos like a taco bell/chipotle night

[@jkvosb]

Sweat witt blue hair That were times

[@EclipseHighroller]

So elysium has only won 1 new raid correct?

[@Harrison_Rs]

I havened touched destiny in years and its sad to see the game become what it is now, spire of stars was a awesome raid!

[@darkrabbit7800]

honestly, I don't think we will see another Day 1 like Vow... that day was the most EPIC day in the history of Destiny, how it took a turn now with Root of Nightmares in Day 1 which was finished in 2 hours and something the only interesting encounter in my opinion is Nezarec ... honestly I would be happy if next year they come with a Raid more EPIC than Vow, but I don't think they will work so hard to make such a raid

[@Noname-ol8ef]

I can't wait for saltggrepo to win again

[@devourerofblight]

And then proceed to bitch about how the build he used is busted and needs a nerf😃

[@devourerofblight]

@Ya Mum my problem with it is all the good builds get nerfed while little to no bad builds get buffed. And salt is always going to continue using the best builds and continue to complain how easy the game is.

[@Noname-ol8ef]

​@@devourerofblight Didn't he explain his full defense of his complaints in Twitter and yt posts already?

[@devourerofblight]

@Noname39 1 I think so. But as I said it doesn't matter what the build or weapon if it's used he as a strat he usually ends up saying it needs a nerf. To be frank I don't have a problem with things being nerfed, my problem revolves around the fact that there's usually more nerfs to good things but no buffs to the bad things.

[@starjek4833]

No 24:02 reference :(

[@evanschneider47]

You’ve been on fire lately just sayin
