    Sorry, but Kungen streaming alone can't save the brand. Basically 9/10 dps play subpar, lots of them are failing on regular normal mode mechanics over and over again ("Don't stand in the fire/whirly thing") and i really can't see how this can be any competetive in the near future.

    But i wonder why you throw out famous names from last expansions, lots of players (in general) transfered or canceled their subscriptions and a guild Y today regulary won't be the same as on their world x-th kill sometime 12+ months ago. Just wait and see, we don't know shit about the difficulties on heroic mode. Either all those 10 man guilds will plow through the content or can't compete at all and those 25 mans will stuck on an enrage timer again (like basically every tier) or overcome group compositions etc due to bigger roster.

    Why can't we all just get along?

    My personal preference is Blood Legion, grown to love em.

    Method are on my 2nd Realm so seeing them getting a World 1st would be nice too.

    Not sure about the rest, KIN would be a nice surprise seeing as they came pretty much out of nowhere last tier to snatch World 1st.

    Judging by Kungens stream, i don't really think they are going anywhere fast. Maybe they will, but from what I've seen, they probably won't be.

    Koreans. They have a crazy work ethic. There are no top euro guilds without Paragon and blood legion is nothing special.

    I vote for Blood Legion for 1st at best, top 3 at worst, 2nd method, 3rd stars.

    3. I am fully aware of Envys history. However Ensidia were a far superior guild to Envy, thats a fact, So basically the guild is Ensidia without Kungen.

    4. I know Nihilum don't have a chance at world first. However it is disrespectful not to give them a mention seeing as they are the best guild of all time in terms of progression and world first kills.
    Paragon have not gone through major roster changes, they simply could not maintain enough people for a solid 25 man roster and therefore went 10. If you look at their 10 man roster you would see that it is entirely made up of some of the oldest and best players.

    Blood Legion have never had a world first, to put them in poll position is hilarious. Im not saying they dont have the dedication but to put them as favourites is a joke.

    Ensidia were a superior guild to Envy, sure. But to say that the guild is basically Ensidia without Kungen is a joke. I am fairly sure that their roster is still very similar to what it was when they wrecked heroic Rag. Ensidia during Cata was not the guild it used to be so I would assume that anyone from Envy would view your comment as an insult.

    Its not disrespectful, its the truth. Only a handful of players returned for Nihilum. You speak about it as if they suddenly had their entire Illidan team back. They do not.

    And as for your final comment of Nihilum being the best guild of all time in terms of progression, Paragon hold that title whether you like it or not.

    OMG they're called Nihilum, that alone is enough to make them great! It doesn't matter if it's not the same players. With that name they will be world class just like Barcelona would still be world class if you replaced everyone except Messi with players from the Scunthorpe United youth team.

    Hmm??
    Envy was nr3 ranked in Firelands before they merged with Ensidia, and 13 in Dragon Soul with the 1 week delay of progress.

    Countering what people say.

    10 > 25

    25 may take lots more people to find but if one-two guys die on 25 man, it's not nearly as bad as 1-2 dying on 10 man which is pretty much over, you don't always have all buffs up, you have much less of everything in the raid comparing to 25, and currently most 10 man are harder than 25.

    So I counter someone else and say 25 is irrelevant, I only look at 10 man raids

    It's not an argument about "10 is harder/easier than 25", it's an argument about which should be counted. They shouldn't be counted on the same ladder, that's the bottom line. Why should they be? 10 and 25 are completely different. Both sizes have pros and cons that make it harder and easier to do, and both sizes will have easier bosses and harder bosses. 10 man might get stuck on the 4th boss, 25man might get stuck on the 6th, and the last boss might be favored for 25man.

    There are thousands of differences between the two sizes, but the greatest and most indisputable difference between the two is this: it is harder to get 25 amazing players together than it is to get 10 amazing players. Even if we had a tier where everything is completely balanced between 10 and 25 difficulty (which is near impossible if not completely impossible, unless you'd be willing to change the sizes of the rooms as well, which they don't) then that bolded difference is still there. And that is why 25man guilds should not be on the same ladder as 10man guilds.

    I really don't understand how people don't get this. Zip up your dick competitions for a second and realize, this isn't about who has the largest cock, this is like putting blacks and Asians against each other. There will always be a notable difference that cannot be ignored. Stop getting defensive every time someone says "10 and 25 aren't equal" because in a computer game where everything is dependent on numbers, it's fucking retarded to say that they are equal. They are not, but that statement is not meant to belittle anyone, just realize that they aren't equal.

    Why am I back here, I don't even play these games anymore

    The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

    It was a shame and inevitable that this became a 10 v 25 fight.

    As much as I admire and respect Paragon, I don't think they can be included in this as they're now 10 man, NOT because 10 man is harder/easier but purely because it's not the same as 25 man, it's not a legitimate comparison. As others have said, 10 and 25 man need to be considered separately.

    I'll go for Stars, Method and Kin Raiders in that order, assuming none of them have also gone 10 man...

    It seems obvious that Paragon should win the 10 man race, but who knows what the mood there is now. Perhaps they've lost heart with losing so much of their roster and the burnout is more widespread than just those that have already stopped. They've been critical of 10 man raiding in the past, so finding themselves stuck doing it must be a bit demoralising. They could have a very lacklustre tier.

    I hope Paragon beats everyone to hell on 10m and that Method gets 25m kills.
    Don't bother to think the 10m and 25m are same race however.

    Doesn't matter who wins the race, I am more interested in their kill videos. Especially the ones from Paragon are always great.

    This is false, Nihilum got World First C'thun,Kel'thuzad 40,Maggy,Gruul,Vashj,Kael'thas,Archimonde and Illidan(only counting "end bosses").

    Paragon got World First H LK,Sinestra,H Nefarian and H Rag.

    I am afraid that your argument is irrelevant and does not counter anything. Would you expect a group that has 2,5 times more people to have 1 battle raise while the 10 man has 1 too?
    I bet if that was the case, you would call it "fair" :P
    As for my opinion, it is at the previous page of this thread.

    There is not one race for the world first.
    There are 2 of them, one for each size.
    The funny thing is that even today, with over 90% of the teams progressing in 10 mode, the amount of people that actually care for this world first race, focus by majority to the 25 people mode.
    It seems that most people know where the top level of teamplay (not individual skill) is.

    Your counting some bosses that are not even comparable to bosses that are named to be the hardest in the game when they were content.

    Firstly, you're*.

    Secondly, you're using flawed logic. When comparing boss difficulty, you can only look backwards, you cannot look to the future. When you couple this with the fact that, as time goes on, Blizzard gains more experience and more knowledge in designing and tuning encounters, thus they are better-able to create challenging content; you should realise that just because Lich King was considered harder than, say, Illidan. Illidan when it was current content was considered beyond ridiculous in difficulty. The same can be applied the previous bosses before Illidan, and thus you should only really be comparing the number of World Firsts as no World First is easy.
    In this respect, Nihilum wins.

    Anyway, OT, hard to look beyond Paragon. 25 mans consider 10 mans easier as they have all the classes and resources that most 10 mans do not. Trimming down a 25-man roster to a 10-man roster means you're left with the best 10 for progression. It's a very strong combination.
