from top guilds, i dont expect any mythic kills on day 1 of raid, but i could be wrong.

[MrLachyG]

I reckon the mythic race will start day 2, day 1 for heroic

[Moi2003]

There will be a couple random guilds that go in and at least kill the for 2 or so on Mythic the first day.

The True RWF: First Alliance Guild to clear Mythic Scalecommander

will Honestly repeat? Will Ethical, vodka, or Vision get it first?

Well, since now we can have ally and horde on same guild, we really going to see the very first world kill of a hybrid guild. Butt to be fair, have to be 50/50 comp

[gobarj]

Going to go and guess Echo will take it home again, though last raid was somewhat close due to the hotfix and unfortunate Christmas timing. Liquid 2nd and Method 3rd, though I would definitely be interested if Method does take the first slot somehow for an upset, but doubtful.

[Relapses]

There are a few pretty major upsets with both RWF rosters so it'll be fun to see how things shake out. Thankfully we're not brushing up against any major holidays this time around so hopefully we don't end up with another unfortunately timed hotfix on the last boss.

Is this even something which can be measured? I don't think it can.

What upsets?

What upsets?

This thread on Reddit does a pretty good job of breaking it down.

Damn, trill and atrocity is a hig loss for loquid, but lorgok and naowh too for echo

[Scyth]

Had no idea both Naowh and Lorgog stopped raiding. Be interesting to see Echo and Liquid's teams this time.
I've also heard Echo might be having issues with getting sponsorship? No idea how true that is though.

[Mysterymask]

Oh boy can't wait till the arguments of we need to redo the entire game for the world first and the complaints of EU/US advantage

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Echo will win

[Jdance]

Oh man I'm already hearing some drama.

Excited for this race.

You missed it looks like the magma hydra don't remember the name.

Here is the layout of the bosses in the raid:

BDG lost their GG sponsorship but may as well add them to the list for more NA representation:

Oh damn, I had no idea. I don't blame any of them either, playing WoW at the world-first level is very taxing for all the prep-work that needs to be done continuously on all your characters. The only motivation I might see is the money that comes with it from streaming for some of these guys, or unless they get paid nicely from their sponsors.

Would be interested to see what happens, but I do think Liquid lost far more for this race and Echo should still be in a good position regardless with the Method joins.

[SinR]

So it begins.

Again.

LETS GO ALLIANCE GUILDS! Metzen promised us a fist pumping moment, I'm still waiting for it.

[bloodwulf]

I doubt any guild that is seriously competing will sit foot in Mythic until the weekend, if they even go this week. The lack of heroic week means it will be split farm of Heroic Raid and M+ for the majority of the week. I know Echo and Liquid were both advertising something like 250k a person for people to join their split raids of heroic this week.
