    Between echo and limit (liquid?) No one else stands a chance. Would like to see more teams get closer to those 2 but can't see it happening with the resources they have.

    I for one am looking forward to the twentieth regurgitation of "16 hour head start" vs "steal strats from stream".

    Ok, this is the most hype WF race due to last three bosses being an unknown to everyone. Of course let's hope they will not be bug ridden.

    Hey man, memes are always par for the course.
    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    Liquid/Echo, rest are a joke. The discussion on time advantage will be even bigger with no testing on the final 3. I wonder if Liquid will chicken out and not stream progress on final 3 similar to what Echo did before.

    The last 3 bosses will be a sh*tshow. Guaranteed. It will be a mix of overtuning, undertuning, moving of goal posts, weird glitches or exploits being patched on the fly...etc. Will likely make for great viewing lol.

    I mean the fact still stands that having a 16 hour time advantage in a race is a huge advantage.

    Which became especially relevant in past years, when NA finally rose to the occasion. Hence more and more complaints.

    This makes no sense. The timezones are evened out for WF. The only advantage is seeing strats before you enter the instance. Times are based on X hours since release.

    NO it is not. It is based solely on who kills the boss first, not fastest.

    That's not true. Whoever is top in wowprogress is the winner. It has always been that way.

    EU gets an extra day (Wednesday) so it's not a 16 hour time advantage really.

    This meme so soon? We usually wait a little later into the race.

    Guessing the first 3 or so bosses will be downed by some literal who NA guild, the middle few will be Limit's to take, and the last few will be a horse race between them and Echo. The WF race has been way too top-heavy for years now, and I don't expect that to change here, or realistically ever again.

    Yeah at this point it is nearly a business. Unless you have the funding and time, there is no way to compete with these mega wf guilds.

    Resources are a bit different now as both of these guilds heavily relied on Gold Run Communities to take out massive loans and then pay back through doing carries throughout the tier. This tier is potentially a toss up to see what's actually going to happen.
