Method needs to pick it up
This won't be an exciting race without method. Paragon only has a couple hours in the raid and look what they've accomplished. They will clearly win this tier unless Method picks it up.
The "3 week lasting race" came from Riggnaros's tweet where he felt that this tier would last into a 3rd reset. He's a knowledgeable person when it comes to the world race so not saying his word is law but his opinion matters.

Method struggling on an easier boss isn't a good sign though.
The hell, Paragon caught up really quick. From 0/13M to 5/13M in the space of 3 hours.
Maiden was a much more difficult boss, it took world first guilds over a day to kill it. Council was killed in an hour by Paragon, 6 hours by Ascension. I wouldn't say it's a hard boss. Not a push over boss and maybe a bit too much for a forth boss but no, I don't consider it a cockblock boss.
Didn't say easy, I said easier and it is an easier boss, any boss that is killed in under a day by world first guilds are the easier bosses.
No new guild killed Archimonde after the hotfix.
What the fuck how undertuned is kilrogg. Paragon killing him in what, a few attempts. Ascension a couple of hours. I really hate seeing 40% of the content cleared in 3 hours. Blizzard is seriously awful at tuning early bosses. Seems council is the only non joke so far but is probably no more difficult than say kromog.
Why are people assuming method is struggling and not clearing hcs? They obviously didn't do all there hc clears before the raid unless they only wanted to do two. I mean ya maybe method are really fucking up but I think it's a more reasonable assumption that they're not. Shit always happens early in the tier method and pargon will more then likely be close together come the final few bosses
