Mad respect to you for getting back on disc to talk to your players that aren't physically there. Way to be a good leader and not letting them be left out of something great.
That is a very mature thing to realize, Max. Valuing the experience your raiders have during the raid over the obsessive drive to win, and knowing that they will perform to the level of the bond the group has is something so many teams regardless of the competition miss out on. Clubhouse/Team atmosphere and everyone feeling relaxed, supported and motivated for each other is a performance enhancing drug in its own right, its just your brain pumping out the endorphins instead of a pill. Its better for the players, fans, competition as a whole and it brought you home the win. Dont lose sight of who you are and what you stand for because of the prize at the end of the road.
I remember my old guild first n’zoth clear it took us so long and after we did it my raid lead went down the roster of everyone in raid and complimented them on something they did great during the encounter. It really is a special feeling when you accomplish a goal
Don't know if this is a hot take or not, but I really enjoy the fast pace, first week clear. It felt like the stakes of every wipe were so much higher.
Lowkey teared up when you guys won earlier. Haven’t been watching long but you guys care about what you do and seeing such a tightly knit group of gamers get together and win something like this is amazing. Good job this tier guys. Time to kick ass for the next one!
@@bigfatdaneBased off your grammar and sentence structure, I don't think anyone can understand what you're saying, let alone should be agreeing with it.
watching thd pull max in for the second hug is big feels. winning must be great but winning with your friends is for sure that much better. fantastic race
This was the most hype race I've watched so far. I woke up for work and turned on the stream, 2 pulls later this happened. What a way to start my day. GG, you guys deserved this one
@@ascatraz you’re over complicating something that shouldn’t be complicated. Sample size = any player on a RWF roster since inception of WOW. FiredUp has consistently topped meters for all styles of bosses since BFA, his intuition and ability to be nimble with decision making is S tier, and rarely makes mistakes. Those alone puts him in an echelon, coupled with his MDI experience.
I will not be able to play anywhere near that well even after 10x as many pulls and with the benefit of being able to copy his timings. The man is a wizard in real life!
This was honestly fun to watch. The whole race and all the time, effort, planning, etc that goes in to it. I think things were well tuned. A week 1 kill by some of the best players on the planet, utilizing all the tactics feasible, is a reasonable outcome. There's casual guilds, there's AOTC guilds, there's Mythic guilds, there's RWF guilds, and then there's you top two/three that even stand apart from the rest. Congrats. Now you can get some sleep!
Echo fan here Big congrats to Liquid and Max, you guys played better and definitely deserved the kill. Thank you for another nail biting race. Next race will be insane
@@Karnalzion both teams have agreed that each of them benefits in a way - Liquid from the earlier start, Echo from being able to see strays and adjust theirs
Even though I am not a Liquid fan, I think this was the most enjoyable race to watch for me that I can remember. It was super tense that you guys kept over taking each other, then it seemed guaranteed that you would win when you got the 2% pull, but suddently Echo started getting sub 10% pulls too. This was an amazing event from everyone involved, thanks for that
This was so awesome to watch you guys down this live and be worlds first. So happy for all of you guys who played and everyone behind the scenes who helped out. GGs Team Liquid.
Im an Echo fan. But this has to be one of the best races. it was so tight and Method being close in the mix made it so much better. Well done Liquid and Max well deserved!
Well done, so well deserved.. better team on the day. While I'm usually impartial between you guys and echo, but this time it just feels good seeing someone beat them to it. Hope this is your time to shine!
Been subscribed to your channel for a long time and I don't think there is a better reason to leave my first comment here: my sincerest congratulations to you and the team.
Congratulations to a group of people who paid to win ? A group of people who sold carried in wow and boosted players for real money and gold? A group who paid people millions of gold to join there groups and funnel gear to them? Yeah...grats
Max and everyone at Liquid, a huge, huge, huge congrats for the win. I've been watching every single race since N'zoth and this was just so incredible to watch. I know it hasn't been in your favor for the last few RWF, but watching you guys come out of the gate blasting and in absolutely perfect form was breathtaking to watch. You guys executed every play so phenomenally. On top of that, it was clear that you guys have found a calm place between the will and desire to win, and the health and wellbeing of your players. As usual, the vibes and energy of a Liquid RWF stream are second to none. Always going to be a fan of you guys, through ups and downs, because wins like this right here are worth it to witness.
I loved the part that Max realized the kill came right when he saw in game message. He was still looking out for mechanics 😆😆😆 I am Echo (EU) fan but good job all. Respect...
All i can say is WoW! What an amazing game and an even more amazing community. I have never witnessed more love in a game then in this video. What it must be like to be a part of a team like that. Good stuff guys, well done!
Love how they ran and then got to a point and like, ok NOoooooo idea where i am running too. Well done guys, great to see this POV and how much it means to you guys.
Watching Liquid and echo its just night and day. Echo is all business and Liquid just are having fun. Its just like a group of friends playing together with liquid. Max and team yall played great this tier. Keep having fun playing wow with your friends. A giant congrats to the guild for winning this tier. Yall deserve it. $
Just because they're not constructing sentences from memes or running around like a kid in a candy store post-race doesn't mean Echo are a business and not having fun. I swear this must be some weird American cultural value thing if you can't see that Echo have a great atmosphere - they aren't the ones that have had major burnout issues over the last few tiers.
I personally much, much prefer a shorter race than a lengthy, potentially close to a 2nd reset race Sepulcher was far too long, lost interest multiple times during that race This race I was locked in, watched for hrs every single day Sure, some bosses could've been tuned tigher (Magmorax, Zskarn?), but I found the bosses interesting to watch, especially Sark A
@@tekillaking89 Simply wasnt true though. They literally were outperforming during Neltharion and Sark. And killed it in 31 less pulls than Echo. When all both of these guilds are just doing raid splits first, its a non factor.
@@knifeuu777 Echo literally killed it in less time. By like 5 hours. Until it’s a world release, this means nothing. It really means nothing anyway. True world first raiding took place when you had a bunch of guys you didn’t recruit from other countries and farmed their own stuff. Liquid and Echo don’t impress me. It’s literally their helpers winning it for them. I don’t see a scroll of all the helpers names after these videos. It just doesn’t feel natural. I’m more impressed with a server first from non paid players than a world first of paid players getting handed loot.
@@Schizim I think it's still impressive, but 💯 agree that it's way different than winning a world first as a guild that's not a pro eSports org, paying money and recruiting players. Competition is higher now, but so are the resources. Peace
Man, Thd and Max; I respect that hug. Just dedication finally paying off. And still trying to critique himself and you showed good leadership. Congrats.
no matter who won this race was a banger to watch! the only thing that could have made it better for all teams would have been a global release to avoid that slingshot effect. But fk yeah I do like all teams and am so happy to see such an intense race. Even method catching up was a banger feeling! Well tuned, awesome played and insane entertainement!
I think this was an awesome raid! At the end of the day people need to remember this is a game designed to be played by millions not just 60ppl. Blizz can only tune and design to a point before professional teams with 3rd party programs and analysts make it trivial. Was also awesome to see Method back in the running.
You guys had such a positive vibe, and Max, I know a genius when I see it and you are one. Big grats to Liquid for a well deserved victory from us Europeans.
i actually enjoyed watching this race the most so far, when its over 2 resets its hard to actually enjoy watching all of it since you are just watching walls for a loooong time. Was nice to always be seeing prog
YES! I may be european but liquid has been my fave guild since day 1. you guys have the most fun vibes and the least toxicity. so happy you got the win!
I'm from EU so was on side of Echo. But this was such a great race with great ending. If there was anything to wish for it's for few more pulls required from earlier bosses so this did end on Tuesday, but clear before the reset actually feels good. It was not to short to end on the weekend but also without Reset Drama, nobody was tired because 2 week push. It was just short and satisfying. Great job! (also, purely by accident on monday I found myself in RtWF Sanctum of Domination t-shirt 0.o)
Man.... I have had the privilege of watching a good amount of world first races.... This one without a doubt was the best performance you guys have ever shown in my opinion. Huge grats on the World First and hopefully the many more to come.
dude. big congratulations!!!! you guys deserve it. btw, that wall poster on the right that says "CHAMPION" at 8:07, is that the dota 2 team with miracle- and matu?
you did it ! after jailer i was heartbroken and the last raid with the last minute patch i was god damn upset i'm happy to see the two guilds i like doing good this tier (method/liquid)
Une question pourquoi quand c'est une guilde française qui réussi le Hf avec pleins de HF 1rst rater par ce que ca deco , ca bug , ca reset , toujours et du coup ont as jamais les 1rst ? C'est pas normale d'avoir autant de deco si proche du but et a chaque foi ce faire baizer

The best takeaway at the end - staying true to the vibe of the Liquid gang. Congrats!

Big congrats to Liquid and Max, you guys played better and definitely deserved the kill. Thank you for another nail biting race. Next race will be insane
