Vault of the Incarnates Race to World First

[Shiekyerbooty]

Most Liquid raiders have pornhub open on their second monitor, so obviously when they do a room wide shot they have to cover that in order not to get banned by twitch.

There was a reason given, forgot the exact explanation, but it had to do with releasing the stress that comes with the world first (also the reason why they take 5 minutes breaks and mute the coms).

Can confirm, when things get rough they rub one out in honor of Eiya

This is the Liquid I was hoping would show up a bit sooner. Six pulls in a row to intermission 2. If they'd played like this yesterday this would be a much closer race. If they keep it up and Echo has a bad day tomorrow and SOMEHOW doesn't kill the boss, they might have a chance.

[marulol]

Well that was quite some progress. Going about how I expected, would have been very shocked if Echo didn't see phase 3 tonight. They just need to get the consistency on intermission 2 down, figure out all of p3 and then maximize for damage. I've been thinking since Tuesday that this boss was going to die on Friday and it seems like there's a pretty good likelihood of that happening. Liquid's only chance is if Echo somehow doesn't kill it tomorrow before going to bed and the boss hp gets nerfed or something later in the evening. Even then, don't really think that's gonna happen. Liquid seem to be about 8-10 hours behind in progression (in terms of consistency, not just boss % or farthest they've seen) and I don't think that they can close a gap that large.

That's something I noticed watching echo right away. They are way more consistent when it comes to playing perfectly. Limit has a lot of goof off players who just don't really seem to take it that seriously. If you look it's usually the same players dying in p1. Still after 300 pulls there shouldn't be as many wipes in p1 as they're seeing now. Idk how echo does it. Must be that elx elixir gingi drinks.

Liquid down to 20.49% now

Yeaaah... this boss has too much HP for them to burst down nearly 20% with that limited space and people dying almost guaranteed. I don't see them gaining much more damage in P2 either.

Now the question is how Blizzard intends to make this killable, but not nerf it when the other guild is sleeping. Though good to see Liquid stepped up and is getting consistency in there, I'd say both guilds are playing equally well at this point.

So either they kill it in the what, ~3h they have left on the day, or Echo kills it before they wake up.

Seems like a fair race either way. Not really any gross distortions on the outcome.

They hit under 20 and it did start healing but not sure if that was because it was evade bugging or if it's something new

Neither is killing it if the healing is intended unless it's something really dumb like it heals to full then gets npced

No one is killing it if it's intended to die at 0%, the DPS requirement is too high.

There are little tornadoes that creep toward the boss. If they reach her it heals her. They have to be intercepted by a player.

As I heard them talking about dinner in a few pulls, someone said "be careful about how much you eat so you don't get sleepy" and I was thinking normally after a break or a food break people get sloppy since the pattern is broken.

yeah no worries, I just happened to be watching that stream and hoped they'd beat Echo's best just for the sake of morale.

[MrPaladinGuy]

They got him even lower and that's after the food break, so that's impressive since usually those break the repetition focus after you return.

phase starts with 241.9M hp
things get hectic after 120 seconds, Liquid survived for about 165 seconds.

you do the math, but at peak 1.33M dps it is not enough, you start getting deaths after 3rd charge which happens after 120 seconds.
