Surprised how long of a break Midwinter has been taking. Haven't seen them online since I got up some 8-9 hours ago.
I think they did say they were no longer interested in 14-16 hours days, even for the first week (they always slowed down anyway if the race lasted more than that), and ended that in WoD. They gave it a run, but it is obviously just not a thing that U.S. guilds can do (or want to do) anymore, for various reasons.

hell I don't even raid hardcore and even I take off 1-2 weeks when a new expansion comes out I can see these guys doing it too.

I wonder if Midwinter or other US guilds would be able to compete if they had no jobs?
You act like all us world raiders are dudes in their 30's. Most of them are probably college age besides the officers who might be in their 30's. A new crop of raiders show up every tier and replace the old ones. But I agree that the American work system does not allow for someone to stay at this level and still have success in real life(wife kids, good job, friends you actually see) beyond their early to mid 20's. And the fact you have to maintain multiple alts exacerbates that time commitment.
Alright so all the people watching the Prestige Gaming stream now knows why the boss is such a massive roadblock.
Not only must the transition be completely perfect, but in the 2nd Heart phase there's also 8 Deathglare adds (eye tentacles) who all mind flay at the same time and therefor must be interrupted. So if you don't have a perfect transition, get into the heart room ASAP and interrupt most of the adds the raid is just gonna die extremely quickly.
Looks very painful
IRL Progression > WoW Progression
The mythic race thread is working as intended i see.
Full of EU vs NA shit and full of backseat mythic raiders.
It just needs a bit more 'my fav guild is better than your fav guild' and it shall be complete.
lol prestige nearly got the eye down in one phase. dat damage
Things getting interesting on the Prestige front. I wonder if they will trade healers for dps.

Trying to one phase it by cheesing it with less healers, gonna be interesting to see how it works out
