Method has made some great progress today. I still think Limit will just beat them to 2nd but they look nailed on for at worst 3rd.

looks like limit changed p2 strat to have no downtime now. boss will probably die today for them
Mmmm, I would be VERY surprised if so many guilds got the jailer down next reset, unless it gets heavily nerfed, it seems an insanely high number.
As for liquid taking a couple of days off, I also think it was necessary for them because they weren't making any progress, gonna be interesting what happens in the battle for 2nd place now, indeed impressive recovery by method.
Method definitely has enough momentum to kill the boss but it's starting to get late and they'll be winding down where Liquid is just now getting back in the swing. I wouldn't dismiss a kill by Liquid before the reset though it's also entirely possible Method kills it tomorrow in the cursed zone right around the reset.
Method already said some of their members have work from now on, and will not raid during early day most likely from now on.
Liquid needed that break, they just weren't going anywhere and any further attempts would have just grinded them down further.
It was a necessary stop to give them time to recover mentally, get back home, get comfortable and finish the race.
Method just smelled blood and went for it while they still can.
Ex-Mod. Technically retired, they just won't let me quit.
I don't think Liquid is killing this boss like.... ever. They're trying to copy Echo's strat literally step by step and they're nowhere near any kind of progress in the last 150 pulls.
World 3rd for Limit would be kinda funny. Method is going to get it tomorrow.
They'll get it eventually but if I'm honest I don't think they're in it for the competitive aspect any longer. They're so completely detached from the race that they could finish in the Top 10 and the only thing it'd mean for them is relief. They made mistakes in this race and yeah, they do kind of suck at this boss. It'll be interesting to see what this means for the guild/organization moving into next tier because it seems like there's a clear separation between what the audience (fans) want and what the guild wants from the game.
Liquid failing to see p4 all day after being "fresh", goes to show how much a day head start makes it seem like they are in the same realm as Echo.
Can't help but feel if roles were reversed Liquid would be competing with Method and Pieces for 2nd before the race even begins.
The observed behavior is functionally the same thing as nationalism. EU people just want to be pedantic and insist that the EU isn't technically a nation so it doesn't fit. (Technically NA isn't a nation either; though I doubt Canadians are too annoyed by getting grouped in with America.)
