mechanic situation it would be very cool and for dungeons I think they would need to get
a little bit responsibility off the tank because like 80% of the tank the dungeon responsibility
and like routing or pulling and everything right is all on the tank and if something
fails that guy is getting like flint and he's very sad and it's not a good time and you
probably defeat the key so overall that maybe just trying to lift the weight of the tank
a little bit might be the play that but that's way harder to balance than the weighting

Final decision is red card

But today is Unitec...
for now.
Maybe...
Mythic Plus.
No. Unitec for us.
Why?
Let the others do Mythic Plus.
If we start with Mythic Plus,
I'm gonna jump.
I can show you guys my feet, that is legally not allowed so that was a joke for comedic purposes.
That was not a possible for the broadcaster and he will not be showing his feet.
I'll show my feet for a thousand dollars.
I could also be an efficient thing. Killing this guy quicker.
If they are not soaking. Depends on what you need.
I don't think we need to overthink it too much. I just don't die mainly.
The mythic can happen at any time.
So you're always on edge. You're always at this point where it's like...
You keep rushing.
Maybe you're starting to need to keep rushing.
But it's not even keep watching, because I think we're quite entertaining, even when splits are happening.
Yeah.
The whole cast of the team has been very entertaining, but as a caster, you're sitting there like...
It's gonna be it?
I could see it. I could see mythic.
And we could come from here, you know what?
And then bit by bit, it just gets pushed back, and pushed back, and pushed back, and then Roger comes onto the green screen and he's like,
Oh, it's time for mythic, guys. We're gonna go into mythic soon. We just need a couple of helpers.
Just a little bit of help! Just a little bit of help!
And then we're going to mythic soon!
I'll give you gold! I'll give you gold if you help us with your slaves! I'll give you money!
Yeah, I think that's what the problem is. I think that's the general answer. But I think I will together very well.
Let's go!
Hello, I'm Roger Brown, I'm co-CEO and head analyst or strategist for ECHO, I've been
doing it for many years and I've been playing all the work for what is it now, 20 years
or so.
Before the race, we prep a lot for its individual boss.
I would say for myself, I put a lot of emphasis
on the strategies that we're going to use,
any add-ons or v-cores, sadly, that are still in the game,
and try to use those to the best of our abilities.
And just trying to find wherever we can get an edge
over the competition, that would be my main focus.
Yeah, when the rate starts, we have different times,
let's say, where I need to allocate my time differently.
So at the start, I'll try to help us once they
can with the splits and rate leading,
but at the same time, also checking
if other guilds are pulling mythic bosses
and trying to have that prep as much as possible,
see if there's any changes from what we tested on PPR
compared to live.
And once we know the comp we want to run on its boss,
make the assignments, and be fully ready to pull the balls.
Over the years, it's changed a lot, a lot.
So in the past, everyone was playing in the raid,
including myself, believe it or not.
But slowly but steadily, there's been
a chance to have more people from the outside supporting
the team that is inside.
So I've, myself, I stopped rating, basically,
for a couple of years, following in the footsteps of Skype.
And the team on the outside has expanded
to almost double digits right now.
And yeah, just a lot more preparation.
Every time we just one up ourselves from the last year,
we build upon what we've learned,
create more tools to support us,
and just streamline as much as possible the process.
So it has changed quite a lot over the years,
always trying to be more efficient and better.
So I want to have the least amount possible
to do with the splits.
Not always doable, but I at least
try to limit how much I get involved.
So I'll definitely help with regulating them
on the harder bosses, if that is required,
or make some of my famous video guides for the helpers,
so they know what to expect when they join the group.
I would not say that I do as much as others do
in the team, shout out to my boys, Thinth,
and Scribe of course, and there's a lot.
Honestly, the whole outside team gets involved,
but if I had to give it to one guy,
it would be Thinth, he puts the most effort.
Yeah, I think it's just that the performance on the last day,
I think we just need to do what we've done
the last couple of years,
because I think we've proven that we can reach the finish line,
but crossing it over,
that is where we've been struggling a little bit.
So I think just being more mentally prepared for that
and just making sure that our slate is proper
so that when it matters at the very end,
we actually can perform
and have that pool that finishes it,
which sadly has not happened the last couple of times,
but yeah, just, there's no secret technique.
You just gotta do it at the end
and hopefully the team is ready for that.
Quite a bit, I must say, I do miss it.
Now, I will say, if the game ever changes, I have let's scribe know that if we don't
need to have 15 characters each and do a ton of splits, I may make a push to come back
into the fold, but until then it suddenly just takes too much time and spending all
that time to prep all the characters is not very efficient for my position.
I'd rather do all of the things that I said before and prepping and strategizing.
But, in a separate universe where you could just play one character and still be competitive,
then that would free up a lot of time to do the rest of the things that I want to do.
So, I guess cross maybe in the future, but yeah, I do miss it a lot.

It's just keeping people interesting that's true
I mean, I haven't been interested in lore for a few expansions, but now with midnight I'm like, okay. All right
Maybe maybe I'm a lore guy after all
Okay, looks like you could pull so far on uh, oolotech as we are
Okay, spend guys immediately. Yep. Mm-hmm. Everyone's taking a look at the damage here.
Oh, half-jacks went down. Okay, he's gonna hunt to bring himself back up. No, it should be fine. It should be fine.
It's fine, right? Please tell me it's fine. No, it's okay. Oh, never mind. We got three healers at once.
Oh, okay.
I might just go home a couple of days early. Do you think we can strike?
Yeah, you can unionize I'm very happy for a non-peaceful protest
If I win this competition by 20 euros, I will find you production
I'm not trying to aim I was trying to shoot stuff across the
map I go play counter straight well maybe that's why you need this crosshair
week or other big God which is taking up the priority of this I don't want to
crosshair we go I don't want to have to shoot stuff from across the game I
guess I didn't sign up for this you ever played Overwatch I did you seem like a
I am a mercy man.
I am a mercy man.
Yes.
I used to hear him from set in set.bowl.
Set.
Well, a different person because I didn't actually see the image that was applied to Gabriel's lunches.
I don't actually know what that was because hello, this is Diva. This Diva is Rosie.
Rosie would like to see JB Sissy.
JB Sissy?
I like it. Hold on, it's taking me a year, guys.
Yeah.
There's a lovely, I have to say, head-toyer.
We're going for a break.
We'll be back in five minutes.
Don't go anywhere.
They're doing stuff, I'm sure.
Yeah, they're just head right now.
What do they do?
I can give a small spoiler, I will be multi-boxing the upcoming music rates guys.
I am only here to report a crime.
Yep.
An international war crime.
There is a lovely bear who's flying up into the air.
And Himanzawa are gonna, yep, so Himanzawa are gonna connect.
But check out this massive betrayal.
Charge! See ya later!
Baka!
Oh, look at that!
There you go, up into the abyss.
No way!
How could this happen to me?
I'm made by the stare!
Anonymous 500.
The most.
Wow, thank you so much!
That's insane, and I guess we can't do that.
No!
We're doing it!
Let's go!
We can't do that!
Nice!
Hey guys, I'm out of gas.
DT8!
DT8!
Oh my god, we're in the last.
You guys are worse than I thought.
Okay, so, we now have the results, and much like a Mori Povic show, we will find out who
big dog
who is the big dog?
JBL
YAAAAAHHH
let's be serious for a moment
this
of any mugs man
BAAAAAAAAAAA
look at the point
look at the point
so um
ok
oh my god, coming soon
I don't know
let's do a hell of a part
can I predict
god do we shadow step behind the boss
we'll find out
in just a few short moments here, going back to full speed and
gotta get to that ad, he slowed, you might as well get the kick, they are still shadow set
here we go
look for kicks, watch the waves
look for kicks, no missing, no missing, you need to soak three months
rest, take the person
look for kicks, and then look for kicks
what's ever about to take the world first for the first time, here it comes
just about the end, they have done it, Vexel
It must have been defying.
World first goes to Echo.
Let's go!
Who picked up?
Who picked up?
Who picked up?
Who picked up?
Who picked up?
Who?
A world first for Echo taking down six of eight.
Very nice.
Oh!
Talk about this.
Thank you.
Call that one.
Whoop.
and we're gonna go to a short break as we work out what we're gonna do on the
casting couch which is a slightly suggestive name but I think it's been a
slightly suggestive stream so we'll be back in a couple an echo our first place
Let's go big dog
Who bit off?
Hi, I'm Sam. I'm the creative director and head of production at Echo Mutable.
I joined ECHO back in the Sylvanus tier, that was my first race to well first, and I have been running the production department.
So I used to work for a more business oriented production company that used to do things for like Microsoft, JCB, Aston Martin, our university.
And then when COVID hit, that entire industry went to pieces.
pieces unfortunately there was nothing that could be done there and I got
made redundant and right that time Echo put a post up on Twitter looking for
somebody to help with the race to the first and it had been a passion of
something that I've always wanted to do and I applied for a laugh thinking that
I'd never get it and here I am five years later. Yeah so a day in life with
production is really similar to a radar realistically we are up a little bit
before them not massive amounts of time so that we're here to prepare for when
they're on site we have to play we work around the same schedule that they do
obviously because we want to show it to be live when they're playing and we do
our best to follow them and tell the story through the day so like showing
all of the polls making sure that we're sort of like filling the gaps when
they're having meetings and strategy discussions and it's just about sort of
like reacting with the cast of team and making sure that you guys have an
entertaining show to watch. Definitely the sort of grassroots feeling that the Race to
Earth First production still has, like it still feels to this day, even though the scale
of it has become so large that we are a community run production. And what you guys want and
what we want is the same thing. And it's to have fun, show cool, well cool, Rayboss is
dying and if I could read that by the way, which hopefully this time we get.
juggling the needs of all of the sponsor stuff.
You know, there's a lot of people that come in
and really graciously sponsor these events
and we just have to make sure that everybody's happy
and everybody feels like the promotion that we've done
is sort of like good for their brand
and fitting the tones of lots of different brands
all the time is a constant struggle
that us and the team at Echo worked really, really hard on.
Oh man, massively so.
We started in erupts in Switzerland with two screens, three stream decks, and two guys,
and now we are in like a massive studio with like multiple like multi-views and giant audio racks
and equipment that's all ours instead of all rented, like Echo. Over time we've just built out our
own event infrastructure where almost all of the technology that you see is owned and operated
set up by us the team so it's it's gone from two guys renting a load of stuff
in a in a bar in Switzerland though I do not be a team they are heroes add to
this and it's I still can't believe it every day yeah we feel that one person
can do all of the tasks of like there's only ever one one operator sat running
the stream there's three of us there on site operating pretty much every event
So myself, Kailoran and Pinky, who does our highlight videos,
is here for the first time this event.
It kind of gives you that commands and a feel where one person can make sure that everything runs really, really smoothly.
And our casting team is so good that all we have to do is leave room for them to shine.
And they can give them opportunities to do great work. So it's a pleasure.
I would say if you wanted to get into a sort of like live production, go to your local theatres, volunteer.
There are places where you can get really hands-on with cameras and stuff if you're willing to sort of like put some time in like work and look for those opportunities.
And also like run your own tournament for your friends, you know, like if you guys play, wow, run your own little mini MDI between your guild and things like that,
put it on Twitch or put it on YouTube privately in practice.
There are so many guides and so many tools out there
to sort of like learn to do what we do.
The biggest piece of advice is a piece of software
called BitFocus Companion.
That is how everything works.
It's the skeleton that connects everything,
the nervous system, if you will, actually, sorry,
which is just connecting stream decks to stream decks
and you can use them virtually and you can learn
how to set up audio control and all sorts of stuff.
But don't be afraid to start.
It's probably the biggest piece of advice.
do your own things, help out in local communities stuff, and just keep talking to people.

They're getting fucking boosted!
What's does to people, okay? It makes you a little bit unstable.
Things aren't quite working up here any more mentally.
So we're good now.
But yeah.
We have an important announcement.
I hear a curse on you all, only Heroic's mixed until I come back.
Heroic all the time!
It falls into an actual product that everyone can use.
Canis desk is rising because he's so excited. I shouldn't say that.
Ladies and gentlemen, a poll is in place here.
here five four three two one here we go mythic is old chandy altar has been
pulled and here it is ladies and gentlemen to the big okay so
I almost immediately

Music at home.
I just want to scream, life goes on, I'm faded away.
How could this happen to me?
Are you strange, Targling?
No.
Oh my god.
You know I went multiple tiers without hearing like, I think two or three people?
Yeah, like their voice. I don't know what they sound like.
Yeah, exactly.
Two tiers. I've never heard this person.
I have heard it for like many years with Revvers and he said like five words.
And most of the time it was him arguing, it's like Revvers did you pop probably, really?
And it'd be like, I did not want to.
gig a chat I have references the only person that I have heard is like
reference rally reference rally and that was like no
literally the only program and scribe refuse a raid coldout like we just take
it like you did not argue with the sir the sir or just
It's the only teeth my heart you can just do this thing.
Oh, it's just what?
Did I just, did that just bark?
It just swam on the sun.
Yeah, it just barked right?
We got blizzard.
Blizzard, bam.
Blizzard, blizzard.
This game fucking sucks.
Ballizzard detected.
Hello. It's me.
Oh, what an attack!
I'm a snake.
I'm so slithery.
I'm sneaky, because I'm a snake.
Look into my eyes.
I'm a slithery, hypypnotized snake.
And that's it!
Me!
Well, I'm sorry, everyone.
What am I doing?
Guess what?
On Sylvanna's, four boobies were being...
We were bringing four...
Wait...
Four of them kids?
They're in silence.
Never be clipped.
See, I'm a terrible person.
Okay, popping the CDs here.
Link as well.
I've just received a very, very horrible $10 donation.
Oh, what a shame you have to read it.
I hope this donation makes time-up hospital for some kids at least slightly better than the race to world experience that caner has had whilst Alex is casting
I'm not horrible to get it. Why am I horrible to I've never been horrible
I witnessed Alex being so mean to Kana. What I said, eh? You said that
He is bad
And it was really me
circle is arranged out guys moon is made up kick moon kick moon kick moon okay
it's on to it. Okay, keep and serve one next.
Hiya!
Hiya!
So sorry!
Guys, I'm going to do no more than a set amount of time.
Oh my goodness!
What is this?
Oh my goodness!
What is this?
I was part of a special task force of very young looking cops who infiltrated high schools.
How do you do fellow kids?
What?
Do you ever like, it's noticed how the raiders all get up and the fear in their eyes that
they're chosen for the interview?
I make eye contact and say, oh yeah, issue and the level of fear on their face.
Just let me go eat.
I did this to Roger and Roger was like, me?
I'm ready.
I was like, no, Roger is okay.
It's not really you.
And he was like, oh, thank you.
And then he ran.
Thank you, Charlie.
Thank you.
And he was like, oh, not that I would mind having an interview with you.
It's just, I want to eat.
See, I like to strike fear into the rare desires whenever I sit down with Secret Lab.
Yeah, I mean you want to send it wrong. Yes send it wrong. Yeah pocket boys send them
Okay
Stop stop stop
Reset reset reset stop stop stop stop stop stop two three stop stop and so for
last one yeah this is amazing that's how we fucking brave these boys
I'm Scribe, I'm Echo's radio leader as well as their co-CEO.
My responsibilities, of course, the public scene side is the shot calling or whatever
is supposed to be done.
But the thing that's not getting as much streamed, I guess, because we often mute
comms or private meetings, is just the general planning of what we want to do when it is
about strategies for bosses or setups for the bosses, what classes we play, it can be
maybe a software that we need to develop, it could be about loot, it's like generally everything
though I am trying to not become the person that's like assigned to do the job because that would
mean I can't do anything else even though sometimes I am kind of forced to because I
like a specific topic is like I'm already too deep that I could hand it up to
someone else trying to delegate as much as possible but yeah it's like a general
manager type of position of a company I guess oh yeah back then I would delegate
the way less so we didn't have a person like Meris or for splits we didn't have
stint so I would kind of do everything and get like my hands dirty and it was a
lot more stressful I would say. So now there is like instead of that I'm doing more the business side
especially like doing farm. During progress it is definitely more chill compared to like
three four years ago where I had a lot less sleep and it was just not good but me being like
healthy is also good for my rate leading so it's not like I'm working less and you know
It's not good. It's good. Yeah, so when I get the first information, it's like you see the journal on PTR
We'll just read everything by myself first of all then we discuss it within the officers and
See if we have like some initial strats
It depends also what kind of boss it is. All right, like the first boss, we don't really talk about too much
Last boss because there's no PTR test we will need to think a lot more on that
But it goes through iterations, right?
Like we try to find the room map that
got their minds from somewhere, see what things could mean.
We measure the room, how big are things,
in relation to how big the room is,
how much movement might be necessary,
and start thinking about what classes would be good for it.
Then we test it, of course, typically,
and then have a much better idea.
And after that, yeah, refining the strats,
If there is something that we can practice in a way,
we would do that.
But oftentimes, we know too little,
or it is not a realistic way to practice it.
Depends.
Like on Ulitec, for example, we know
there's going to be ads that we will clean, probably,
and there will be a damage AMP phase.
There are very good indications of things.
And also, sometimes, you can data mine things
that are also not in the journal.
But it is also sometimes quite chaotic.
It depends on the fight a bit.
And sometimes it's a bit better, though.
For example, on Jailer, we had really good prep,
even though it never starts to test a bit.
But it was exactly as we thought, honestly.
And we kind of practiced that, as why we were really good
on Jailer.
It overlapped with our thoughts.
So this is a lot of time goes into this, the class research.
And it thinks changing very quickly.
You've got to be up to date, like even just today,
as we're filming this a couple hours ago,
they changed stuff on some items that were,
they're also like a box in the game.
And then they fixed the box, which might be a nerve or a buff
to a class.
But for example, they fixed that items were,
the item buffs from the very first items
or the last ones were stacking in a weird way.
stacking but yeah so basically there's a lot of like in-depth research and because
we're trying to I mean we have the point three percent life on the masses you
know like because we're playing to that level it's anything like a two percent
above-to-a-class two percent nerf to another one might somebody mean yep
we're no longer stacking this we're getting something else in it can very
quickly change so we're permanently like we're doing DPS tests we are figuring
of what the current bugs are, reporting them, seeing if they're fixed, if they're fixed
or adjusting immediately. And on top of that, even if we do the best research we can, there
are things there that will slip and we do the boss and suddenly we're realizing, okay,
this is not as we thought it was in theory, especially on last bosses. It's kind of a
like full RNG thing, what will be really good. And suddenly you need to bring a class that
you have not expected at all. So yeah, you're constantly flexible, doing research. I don't
think very intentional. There are ones where I'm not calm, but like, I would say I'm a
generally calm person. I don't like rage at things that much. The one thing that tilts
me quite a lot is like people, like, intentionally don't focus, like they're just like meaming
around or something too much maybe depending on the moment obviously right that can make me angry
though i think it's also at this age i don't get that angry easily having two kids you know it's
it's fine i don't honestly the playing i don't even think about it that much anymore i think i
think i do miss it in a way although this is also really fun um but you know i can play things as
as well. I don't even remember how it feels anymore, honestly, to play the race. I would
love to do it. Don't get me wrong, but it's okay. Like, this is pretty cool as well.

Hey
Mike's actually here
Every time I race for first-rate I cause a great fight rate
It's probably 200 plus pulls absolute torture for the people involved, but I mean that's what we're here
Like it needs to really like
Yeah
Everyone ready to press I believe this is probably like maybe 10 players
Oh, bye, Gubb.
Execute the mages.
What?
Stop following me, OK?
What are you talking about?
F***.
What the hell to Keshi?
LAUGHTER
Keshi's there.
So we held 200,000 kids, and in return,
I almost got a bald guy on the couch
I'm raw for charity, but this isn't a joke
Can we please be careful with the A or W on the bald please?
JK missed you
Okay, get ready to go do your jobs in two, one, go!
Right, because they also... I don't even know a favorite note, but they didn't do the nerf, right?
Oh, no!
Oh, I got a shit, sorry!
Maybe I shouldn't have said it
Boilers
You so was killed it with no nerve. Yeah, I mean the super low attempt it was not enough
They're gonna nerf it when you guys got a bet no, I mean they said they're not nothing yet
So why did they announce the nurse and I mean Alex came over here? It gives a big announcement
Like was he lying? I mean I assume that they never because we're about to kill it. Okay, but I mean
I don't know what they're gonna do overnight now that you sleep
So wait, so you think they announced the nerfs they got the they got the broadcast up as they're going to press the like
Send nerfs button. They're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, look at this
Sub 10%
Hey, hey get away from that. I don't know, but they're not in
Right here heard of your first echo prevented them from nerf it
They had such a good pull they were in the middle of pressing the nerf button and then they're like no
I look at that 3% pull. This is killable. Don't forget those nerfs
I
You know what we should do like the trick where I just disappear like
Okay
Oh, Revison.
What the fuck is he doing to kill a team so quickly?
Oh, no!
And going a long way today.
Oh my goodness!
Oh my god!
What are you doing?
Oh my god!
It's coming home.
It's coming home.
Ooh, a tech's coming home.
It's coming home.
It's coming home.
This was hitting hard or is it just learning the rhythm?
No, there was too many damage points.
If you do want to lock any other tank, it's fall free.
I will lock very soon.
I'll probably get by it, like at one shot and then I'll lock back.
Point to Ratchet.
Oh yeah.
That's all that was to you.
I forgot Militia there.
This is the most dangerous time in a healer's mind, is when a DPS player gets hit by a mechanic
and realizes they can live if the healer heals them, because then the little hamster
wheel starts turning in the head.
They can see a habit.
It's the worst thing in the world of the healer when a DPS thinks a mechanic will one-shot
them, and they play as if the mechanic will one-shot them, and then one time they get hit
by it and they live and you can see the scheme forming in their mind and they're like hold
on if I get hit by this you can heal me through it and I'm like wow I mean they're like mmm
they're squeezing to the right squeezing to the right take a man and squeeze the right
I can't again! I can't again! I can't again!
Ignore this guy, I'm holding you. Let's hack the lefty, okay? We don't need to need to put this guy in still.
I'm sorry, I didn't know you could hear it.
you can hear it. Sorry. It's sorry.
You got me big dog stuff?
Yeah. Who big dog? Who big dog? Who big dog? Who big dog?
You big dog! You big dog!
It's been an absolute pleasure, of course, working with you as always, JD.
Is there any last words of wisdom that you want to give?
Maybe the players or maybe just the viewers at home?
Oh, let's see. Where's the wisdom?
If you're gonna start using hair loss products, it has to be before the hair is gone.
Anybody that's thinking about that, you don't want to wait for that kind of thing.
That's wise.
Sometimes that's enough.
Yeah.
That's beautiful.
Thank you very much, JB.
Big dog.
We're gonna go out on our small thing, because I think that's the right way of doing it.
So thank you, chap.
Have a lovely day.
We'll be back bright and early tomorrow.
And with that...
BALAAAAAAA
Goodbye.
Meow.
is it over at long last no king is forever my son I see
Without its master's commands, the restless scourge will become even greater friends to
control must be maintained there must always be a lick
The weight of such a burden must be mild for there is no other-
Tyrion!
You hold a great destiny in your hands, brother, but it is not your own gain!
The dragon's flame sealed my fates, the world of the living can no longer comfort me.
Place the crown upon my head to hear, forevermore, I will be the jailer of the dark.
No, old friend. I cannot do it to him.
Okay.
Awww.
Tell them all, the Celestine is dead.
It was that frigate.
I did it!
Now, two, leave this place and give him a turn!
Backbats!
Absolutely!
Alright, I think that deserves a nice little howl.
Should we do it together on three?
Wait, what are we doing on three?
A howl, a bark, a wolf.
Are you ready? Alright, on three.
Alright, one, two, three.
What was that?
Was that me?
What was that?
Was that me?
We don't know what people have to listen to.
Describe.
That was only the mythic splits.
I think, uh, didn't we get a list that did something like 400 plus boss kills?
Uh, something stupid.
They did 380 normal boss kills.
380
380
380
380
380
380
383 heroic boss kills and this was all within the first week yeah and in terms
of mythic we just watch out about 38 or something yeah so you know we're getting
close to 100 yeah yeah I'm nearly 800 yeah boss kills in a week stop it get some help
are we bucking I did one solo you did one solo and now we do one as a trio
right Kena? Huh? You do not build up a spice tolerance,
existing where I live, okay? Like people don't eat spicy food.
Right. But I have then, since then been, you know,
trying more stuff and I have gotten on top of the spice and I like spice because
it hurts me and it takes away all the other pain.
That is a joke. I am okay. We're all good. Okay, no need to be sad.
I just like spicy food.
Yep, that's me.
You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.
Donate $20.
Catch up on the teller.
That sounds so random.
I am so sorry.
I have defended many things, and I think a lot of good things are good.
Catch up on the teller?
What?
that's what i was saying yes what was that?
that's hot chocolate break when i hear it's great give me the oh yes one more one more
oh yes
you do not want to have that on your face
i'm gonna move on and the control is looking great no depth as of yet but i hope i'm not
Janks and Gav, and in-coach and big lads.
Oh, I seem that Cana did choose violence with that cast,
a curse, unlucky to echo.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, Perfetto lives.
Oh, hold on with my feet.
World first, phase three, even though it's going to be sculptive.
Stay alive. Come on.
See the boss.
We can see everyone's hanging on.
There we go.
That's the petrifying graph.
There we go.
We're in phase three.
Let's go.
Show me a weakened phase.
We're actually going outside today, me and Joe. Me and Joe, we have to sign it and we'll
type more people along. But after the shift, we're going to take a scooch-scooch, go to
a lake, walk around it, look at the duckies a little bit, absorb some CO2 because it hurts
me and it takes away all the other pain.
So it's been an absolute pleasure man, it's been a pleasure to be hanging out with you
guys over the last two weeks and unfortunately life being like this time I wasn't able to
the whole duration but assuming I'm coming back in the future, then I would... well okay.
Good.
If I'm coming back then it shouldn't be a problem again but yeah life is like this time
but yeah I'm sure you guys will have a lovely time I'll be watching at home along with you
and probably pestering you guys as much as possible.
Please do.
Oh yeah.
That's all from me.
That's all from Mr. Mike.
You guys be lovely to each other.
It's been a fantastic day.
We'll be back tomorrow.
Well these guys will be under me on a plane and we will see you tomorrow for some great
What the fuck? Good night, man.
Bye.
Hey, it's Risa, almost!
Oh, yes.
Oh!
You missed out on some makes.
What?
He's not activated because of the add-on?
Are you kidding me?
There you go.
Let's go to the next one.
It might work out there.
Maybe he doesn't like me.
Aww, who does?
I've had some things for you.
Yeah, yeah.
One day I will get a DM from Mark.
He never actually DMs me, it's really sad.
I'm not sure about it at all actually.
I think you're gonna make me die exactly.
Do you think you're gonna change the comp at some point?
Or because I think you're like gearing in a knock-o-pull out?
Yeah, we've done two spits for a knock-o-pull.
Like...
And you don't know if you want to bring it from here or from the DPS or from the time
Oh yes, you're saying that Biden's out here for a bit?
Yeah
I'm in the way
Yeah, okay, I see
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the race world first
Echo Broadcast, I'm Kena and I'm joined by Jordan
I choose you, you shriek
So anyway
Was it super effective?
I think it was super effective in getting people to run away from the stream.
Wokitch everybody, we are in Split!
Aren't you allowed to flame if you're already old?
Like we are already old.
The guys must be the oldest in the book.
Yeah, I'm literally the youngest player in this grade right now.
I have only one question guys. Have you seen below Nightwish's cap?
Right now, right now, it's your own stream.
I almost convinced Cruella and she's like,
I do not want to be the third wheel in Interrupted Dave.
And I handle being a fucking solo wheel, like it's crazy.
A solo wheel.
Unicycling isn't it?
Ha ha!
Ha ha!
Oh, God.
Oh, man.
I did not make a 6-7, Jerry.
No, but you were doing the 6-7, dude.
I was juggling, yeah, exactly.
I was juggling existed before 6-7.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
I'm pretty sure.
I'll have to check.
I'll have to check.
I'll have to check.
Well, what came first?
The dumbo?
So, the jokes.
No, the jokes.
The jokes.
The jokes.
The jokes.
The jokes.
The jokes.
The jokes.
The jokes.
No, the jugs, they're not the water jugs!
What?
It's correct, call some back shots, fair enough.
And then you see...
What's the bag?
What he calls it?
What's the bag?
Yes.
Oh, no!
Oh, production!
Oh
Echo have had it with these mother flipping snakes on this mother flipping raid can they do it?
Just really trying to spread as the boss does get lower and lower
Unfortunately, some of the gamers are going down as we do have the venomous heart. This is the final pump now for echo
I'm sorry, I didn't get to spend more time with you, honestly, that's the only thing.
Didn't get to spend a lot of time on the couch, um, hopefully you guys enjoyed your time with
me, hopefully you guys enjoyed watching.
I must bid you all farewell, and hopefully maybe we'll see you in the next race, and
good luck, Echo!
Yeah, thank you so much guys.
That'll be Ian, but maybe again, a small break so we can say good bye to you properly.
That makes sense.
Yeah, we'll be quick.
Yeah, it's gonna be longer.
Yeah.
Alright, we'll be back very quickly.
Wait is that...
Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off!
Fuck off, fuck off!
They only make us stronger.
The Shadow of the Fall.
Time you run and no strangers, soon you're gonna join the souls of them you fear to see.
Get back, he's trying to take control!
RISE AGAIN!
I'm Scribe, I'm a coach right here, as well as their co-CEO.
My responsibilities, of course, the public scene side is the shot calling, or whatever
is supposed to be done, but the thing that's not getting as much streamed, I guess, because
we often mute comms or private meetings, is just the general planning of what we want
to do when it is about strategies for bosses or setups for the bosses or classes we play.
It can be maybe a software that we need to develop. It could be about loot. It's like
in generally everything, though I am trying to not become the person that's like assigned
to do the job because that would mean I can't do anything else even though sometimes I am
kind of forced to because I like a specific topic is like I'm already too
deep that I could handle up to someone else. I tried to delegate as much as
possible but yeah it's like a general manager type of position of a company I
guess. Oh yeah back then I would delegate way less so we didn't have a person
like Meris or for splits we didn't have stint so I would kind of do everything
and get like my hands dirty and it was a lot more stressful I would say though now
there is like instead of that I'm doing more the business side especially like
doing farm during progress it is definitely more chill compared to like
three four years ago where I had a lot less sleep and it was just not good but
me being like healthy is also good for my rate leading so it's not like I'm
working less and you know it's not good it's good yeah so when I get the first
information it's like you see the journal on PTR will just read everything
by myself first of all then we discuss it within the officers and see if we have
like some initial strats depends also what kind of boss it is right like the
first boss we don't really talk about too much last boss because there's no
We will need to think a lot more on that.
It goes through iterations, right?
Like, we try to find the room map that
could be a mine from somewhere, see what things could mean,
we measure the room, how big are things,
in relation to how big the room is,
how much movement might be necessary,
and starting what classes would be good for it.
Then we test it, of course, typically,
and then have a much better idea.
And after that, yeah, refining the strats,
if there is something that we can like practice in a way,
we would do that, but oftentimes we know too little
or there is some realistic way to practice it.
Depends, like on Ulitec for example,
it's, I mean, we know there's gonna be ads
that we will cleave probably
and there will be a damage amp phase.
But there are very good indication of things,
And also sometimes you can data mine things that are also not in the journal
but
It is also
sometimes quite chaotic
but it depends on the fight of it and
Sometimes it's a bit better though for example in Jailer we had really good prep even though
like we never tested it
But it was exactly as we thought honestly and we kind of practiced that that's why we were really good on Jailer
it yeah overlap with our thoughts um so we will this is a lot of time goes into
this the class research and it things change very quickly you gotta be up to
date like even just today as we're filming this a couple hours ago they
changed stuff on some items that were but there are also like a box in the game
and then they fixed the box which might mean might be a nerve or a buff to a
class but for example they fixed that the item buffs from the very first items on the last
was we're stacking in a weird way not really stacking but yeah so basically there's like
a lot of like in-depth research and because we're trying to I mean we had that 0.3% life on
the minis you know like yeah because we're playing to that level it's anything like a 2%
buff to a class 2% nerf to another one might suddenly mean yeah we're no longer stacking this
We're getting something else in it can very quickly change so we're permanently like we're doing DPS tests
We are figuring out what the current bugs are
Reporting them seeing if they are fixed if they're fixed or adjusting immediately
And then on top of that even if we do the best research we can there are things there that will slip and
We do the boss and suddenly we're realizing. Okay. This is not as we thought it was in theory
Especially on last bosses, it's kind of like full RNG thing, what will be really good.
And suddenly you need to bring a class that you had not expected at all.
So yeah, you're constantly flexible, doing research.
I don't think very intentional.
There are moments where I'm not calm, but I would say I'm a generally calm person.
I don't like rage at things that much.
The one thing that tilts me quite a lot is people like intentionally don't focus,
like they're just like memeing around or something too much, maybe depending on the moment obviously,
right? That can make me angry, though I think it's also at this age, I don't get that angry
at easily having two kids, you know, it's fine. I don't honestly, the playing, I don't even think
about it that much anymore. I think I do miss it in a way, although this is also really fun.
But, you know, I can play things as well.
I don't even remember how it feels anymore, honestly, to play the race.
I would love to do it, if I don't get me wrong.
But it's okay, like this is pretty cool as well.

So great question from Alex earlier on, do male animals lay eggs, so let's have a look
at the screen.
As you can see, very high quality eggs.
Do male animals lay eggs?
Second slide.
No!
Male seahorses do carry eggs though.
I was thinking about it.
Yeah.
It's a tedious play style and I don't want to do it in a rate.
So I am hoping that Rasterdruid remains unbuffed in both Raid and Mythic Clust because it's
the same medium exists in Mythic Clust.
I hope it stays mediocre, good enough that if you're Rasterdruid main, you don't get
bullied for playing it, but not good enough that anybody wants to bring it to a Rasterdruid
approach because I don't want to play it this turn.
I'm sorry if I yelp, it's just, how much more betrayal can I take?
I mean, you can really launch on these.
So, this is exactly how you have to sit.
We'll hand it back over to the car for dust.
Thank you, Radit. Professional is always...
Professional. This is what I am.
It's in a lot of ways like NASCAR, where it's a bunch of laps,
and if everything goes correct in a NASCAR race,
it is, I think, by most accounts, relatively boring.
boring right okay the cars are just
so destination Alex I would like to hold your hand
three dollars from Ross help us with the check
thank you very much
actions at this point yeah we can talk about how far I said that for a while I'm sure
I'm tired of this grandpa!
That's too damn bad!
There'll be people that will ask in stream occasionally like how do you deal with people
getting mad at you when they die and like I feel so bad and it's like the trick is
those aren't people like you just have to pretend like you're playing with NPCs all
Oh my god, there's not there's not a person with feelings on the other end of that character
That's just that's just a computer guy running around and if they die who cares. What is he taking?
A roast what how about 22 is that how many you need that's how he sees himself
Why can't you hear 20 more? This is the face of a man who robbed his own bike. This is this is quite literally tax evasion Roger
I feel like it's just Perkman
insurance frauds, yeah, maybe
This is a lot of damage
LUPAT
I'm not allowed to eat this on a cruise far, man.
Ever?
Never.
Not everyone is for the man.
Come on.
Did you have a tradition at Christmas? We always had a tradition if you got anything that could be worn you had to wear it on your head.
Because immediately that was like if you got a Christmas present that could be worn it's immediately on your head.
Aren't socks like the standard clothes?
Yeah, but they go on your ears.
Oh, I know too. Is there anything else that I can use to hide my baldness?
Yeah, here you are.
Oh, yeah? Fantastic.
Yep.
Okay, put the bag in.
Thank you.
Look at the mirror.
Nice.
don't get the boss guys you're gonna get knocked afk we're gonna get knocked soon go to the middle
edge to the middle knock back in two one knock he was not stopping hitting but I will actually
find you okay I'm sorry it's just Alex is talking about how he was kicked from a split and then
I just wasn't invited to progress further, that's all.
I'm not washed up.
Fire breath on all the... on the... on the... on the rocks, fire breath.
The malloc, the malloc medic.
The quick-witted, the best malloc noise.
I've heard some other guilds are planning on going in mythical Monday or something
We're not doing that. We're trying to get there like maybe even tomorrow
Okay
I just received a great donation, thank you for everyone who has been donating, 25 dollars
coming in from Grenjal, just now he says willing to donate 100 pounds for every medic death
this split.
Oh no.
Dude, it can make it happen.
100 pounds for every death.
Kids don't deserve the money.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Hi, I'm Julia, I'm the chef here at SK Gaming, and we'll see if we can echo when they come
over.
Okay, so my first race to world first was September 2024. And I sort of been in esports
catering since 2021. I was kind of an accident. It was when the pandemic happened and I was
working in a bar and I'd lost my job. And I was scrolling indeed. And I came across an
advert that said cooking for athletes and I screenshot it and sent it to a friend thinking
was it maybe the Kerna High which is the local hockey team here and we debated we had no idea
and I just sent off an application anyway and then I got a call back and that was kind of it.
Yes, I, yes, I walked into the room there was all these PCs decked down and I was like what,
What are these athletes?
Oh, I guess...
I want to say organization, because Esports is so crazy.
And like leading up to this event, I didn't know how long some of the SK bootcamps were going to last for,
if they would stay indefinitely or leave suddenly, and then trying to plan food around that,
and numbers and things like this.
It's, I've just always got to remain flexible and easygoing.
I mean, I try to also cater to all different like cuisines.
I sometimes get the players to put in requests
and just try to keep people happy,
have a good rapport with them, and learn from them
as much as they learn from me, I guess.
Yeah, it becomes a challenge at times,
but I enjoy doing it.
I enjoy food as anyone does, I guess, and catering to the specific people is something
that I genuinely enjoy doing.
I think it's the potato gratin and the seared chicken with, like, a salad or a roasted
bedside depends on the weather.
Yes, but it's not like, it's more about textures.
Like, I hear quite often no one really likes risotto, or people don't mind risotto, but
yeah, that would be the number one thing I should veto.
I do. It is a crazy time. It's a lot of stress but it's chaotic. I'm ready for the chaos and I genuinely enjoy all the people and everyone. It's a good time for me too.

After this phase 2, they're gonna be dueling!
They're gonna be swimming in the beach!
I'm an eye-opener and I'm missing a one-year doctor.
Dr. Perpeger and Nako.
Don't, man. Don't know.
I'm sorry, sorry, Nako. Sorry. Okay.
Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture.
They're the same picture.
You can get people with that. It's from Mississippi.
i have no idea where that one's going
Let's do it again.
And we have the boss gonna move again.
Follow the boss.
So, we got $3 from an unemployed priest.
Okay. I'm so sorry, Mike.
Guys, tell Scrape I'm sorry for slapping Roger.
Please let me back in. I have my wife and kids and I need to get away from them. I'm making you.
Oh my god. I have the shittiest grudge, bro. Finally.
I should know you weren't in a group of Malcolm. You touched everybody.
I was in a group of Malcolm for two tears in a row, so I had a break this time.
you
you
you
you
you
you
It's the dog's got wet feet but they drink as well.
It's true, I'm just gonna hold this here for the hell of a minute.
We don't have a tissue around so.
And no, good luck.
No.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
f******g griffley!
I dunno it's a...
ewwww there's a...
the final one with the venomous abyss
is coming in 12.1
and in this boss
it's going to be really hard
because there's an explosive heart
that you have to destroy
to it so hopefully dindy can get the power of infusion and do lots of true shots that
all have marksmen that aim shots at the heart and it would be really powerful if hopefully
a cop can win this time because they have a type of very good time recently so hopefully
they get work first and dindy does some good damage and doesn't kill everyone or something
thank you
Oh, that's hot.
That's hot.
What do you call an elephant in the North Pole?
I don't know.
Lost.
Hello, I'm Meris. I'm a tank man at Echo. I often move the bosses around and do things.
And I'm also an officer doing a lot of the guild management and
organization scheduling around the outside of the race most of the time as well for the guild in general.
Prep in terms of like tanking, everything is completely different from like the officer role.
So it's two different things. One of them is like tanking, obviously the class choices and how the bosses play.
So you need to kind of imagine how the bosses play before we get to see them to see what class you want to pick for the actual testing
And also learn and investigate which classes are good and bad of course
So the normal class research like every other role I would say as well
And then the officer role is obviously very different because it's more about like
Crepping the strats and the overall picture of everyone in the guild who plays what class role who covers what rate bar for
or what combinations of bosses are possible,
and obviously all the strat forming
that happens often as a team,
and then also more in the race, obviously,
from Roger and Scribber, I'm not so involved anymore
because I'm obviously up to play.
Yeah, I mean, I'm the one reaching out to players.
If it's not a healer, if it's not a healer,
I'm reaching out to new tries and speak with them
and give them the initial interview
before they get to the officer team
and then we speak with them,
but also like generally just looking at the roster who could be like improving or who needs feedback also in general a lot of feedback and
Collecting feedback is very big for us, right? Like getting the players
Opinion on basically any topic after the tier is very important
So we can improve for the next tier also improve their situation if they have a personal problem or whatever, right?
So all of that kind of falls under the that department, I guess
I mean that depends I guess
If either the boss is very difficult, like I would say for example, Belorin and Lura were both really really difficult tank fights
where most of the time I help out with like raid leading or doing other things on the side
But both bosses were very difficult and I couldn't really do it too well, sadly
That is one of the things obviously balancing the in-between on both of those roles is very important
And then the other thing is obviously like staying alive and picking the right tanking job to do the best
you can to support the team all blast the most damage depending on what role I guess you take in the fight
I mean, I think back then I was enjoying DPS a lot more
Because I especially in dungeons. I've recently started tanking dungeons right with the MDI
Like coming around that I now played the tank
I have been playing DPS for five years in tournaments and whatever and I do enjoy DPS in dungeons still I think more than tanking
But for Rating it's the reverse. I think at this point I enjoy tanking Rating more than comparison just because I think tanking a lot of other roles and things going on.
And there's a lot of other cool challenges that I make myself that are not necessarily have to do with only playing my class correctly on the fight, which makes it fun.
No tank fights.
No, actually I think what is very interesting, what would make tank more interesting for me in rating is that the tank mechanics are not as boring and more
incorporative in the whole situation like they can still be or taunt after XYZ but
you as a tank should be involved in all the mechanics just like I mean I had to
say it but from friends it does this great where basically tanks still have
to play all mechanics and move around and play all the other things where
often times in the current game you just hit at the boss and you get a time
mechanic and then you turn around that the whole team has some crazy debuff
situation going on and you're like yeah I'm here right so I think if they start
implementing the tanks more in the weight mechanic situation it would be
very cool and for dungeons I think they would need to get a little bit
responsibility off the tank because like 80% of the tank the dungeon
responsibility and like routing or pulling and everything right is all on
tank and if something fails that guy is getting like flamed and he's very sad
and it's not a good time and you probably defeat the key so overall that
maybe just trying to lift the weight of the tank a little bit might be the
player but that's way harder to balance than the rating segment in my opinion.

Oh no!
I'll give this a try.
The monster.
But, if you're wondering what's going on by the way.
You're probably going to get very gone by the way.
Where's the third mage? I don't see it.
It's a rookie bro.
Rookie's not a mage.
Yeah, but you said there's three mages so I'm just going for a mage.
Yeah, but I didn't listen.
What about that? What are you gonna do now?
Would you go nyeh?
Yeah, but...
Nyeh!
You wanna take?
Nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh!

Have you had any moments where you're like, DPS?
Oh my god, please don't.
DPS? I mean, uh...
Yeah? I'm not gonna... I mean...
You don't have to call anyone out, don't call anyone out.
By the way, K28, can you stop editing this?
K28 is being edited and it's like, going weird.
It's you.
Oh, I'm searching for, no, I'm controlling it.
No, I'm not.
I'm sorry.
See, call that, I said in someone's editing, bro.
I guess it'd be clippable if I ate this on stream.
We did just have dinner, so I'm not famished, but I recognize a good opportunity to content when I see one, so...
Well, at least stand at the tree line, okay?
You're also goblin, I assume.
Why have you railroaded me like this?
What are you then? Would you like to describe your character to me?
I'm a League of Legends castler with a bad voice. It's a cast to rock, obviously.
I see. Obviously. I am also a goblin.
I felt very well-moded in the moment, Alex.
I'm sorry, I spoiled the character. I spoiled this ruin.
Why don't you just kill your chicken on it?
Do you not peel your chicken nuggets?
This is gonna be...
I'm gonna tell this story the same way I tell...
No, damn it!
...my wife eating peanuts.
So, do you not peel your chicken nuggets?
I actually do. I actually do peel. Is that not normal?
Final decision is red card.
Woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop.
Party, party, party, party.
It takes minutes, minutes, minutes, minutes, minutes.
Let me across, let me across.
There was, there was.
And she's $90 and 67 cents away.
Got it.
From, uh, Ritching us.
You don't say that.
Oh, she's quick.
The game's just going to quit.
We shouldn't have to problem this.
It's a blind flash by.
If we're having a conversation, you're like, yeah, I really like Tendril.
I take like two full steps backwards.
Isn't that case of like, which version do you mean?
No, no, it's not a case of...
No?
It's a...
I'm pretty sure clinically, it's a way to diagnose brain damage.
That's like one of the tests might be a worm in there is they'll ask you like can you tell me who the current president is?
Can you tell me what year it is? Do you like to do you like tendril? Yeah, and
It might be part of TSA screening in the US actually go back to the border
Yeah, I'm not allowed to get on a flight. You're like, yeah tendril on like sir. I need you to step over here to this
This is the tendril line
No, I am D
No, we don't have the rest item if you risk me with the rest item I can rest someone else
What just happened
or not.
Bok for.
Is accused of abusing a 92 year old woman with dementia whose leg was broken.
Another employee is ordered to turn herself in within the next 24 hours.
Next Xali into Gebel for the bad.
But today is Ulotec.
For now.
Ulotec maybe.
Minute plus.
Minute plus now it looks like for us. Why let the others who met it plus we saw a bit bit plus. I'm gonna jump
Up and down in rage
Alex was trying to do earlier, but I'm gonna show you guys my feet
That is legally not allowed. So we will that was a joke for comedic purposes
That was not at all possible for this broadcast you and he will not be showing his feet
I'll show my feet for a thousand dollars
Okay
That could also be an efficient thing killing this guy quicker if they are not so good
That's what you need. I don't think we need to overthink it too much. Just don't die mainly
The mythic it can happen at any time and so you're always on edge you're always at this point was like
you keep watching maybe this afternoon you keep watching but it's not even keep
watching because I think we're quite entertaining even when splits are happening
the whole cast of team has been very entertaining but as a caster you're
sitting there like it's good I could see it I could see mythic and we could go
from it and then bit by bit it just gets pushed back and pushed back and
push back and then Roger comes on to the green screen he's like it's time for
mythic guys we're gonna go into mythics and we just need a couple more helpers
Just a little bit more help, just a little bit of help, and then we're going to make it soon!
Or if you've got your mythic item, I'll give you gold!
I'll give you gold if you're open to your specs!
I'll give you money!
Yeah, I think that's what the problem is.
I think that's the general message.
But I think I know together very well the stuff.
Oh no!
Hello, I'm Roger Brown and I'm co-CEO and head analyst or strategist for ECHO, I've
doing it for many years and yeah I've been playing World of Warcraft for what is it now
20 years or so. Before the race we prep a lot for its individual boss I would say for myself
I put a lot of emphasis on the strategies that we're going to use any add-ons or recores
sadly that are still in the game and try to use those to the best of our abilities
and yeah just trying to find wherever we can get an edge over the competition
that would be my main focus. Yeah when the raid starts we have different times
let's say where I need to allocate my time differently so at the start I'll
try to help us but second with the splits and raid leading but at the same
time also checking if other guilds are pulling
mythic bosses and trying to have that prep as much as possible, see if there's
any changes from what we tested on PTR compared to live, and once we know the
comp we want to run on its boss, make the assignments and be fully ready to pull
the boss. Over the years it's changed a lot, a lot. So in the past everyone was
playing in the raid, including myself, believe it or not, but slowly but
steadily there's been a trend to have more people from the outside supporting
the team that is inside. So I've myself I've stopped raiding basically for a
couple of years following in the footsteps of strike and the team on the
outside has expanded to almost double digits right now and yeah just a lot
more preparation every time we just one up ourselves from the last year. We build
upon what we've learned, create more tools to support us, and just streamline
as much as possible the process. So it has changed quite a lot over the
years, always trying to be more efficient and better. So I want to have the
the least amount possible to do with splits.
Not always doable, but I at least try
to limit how much I get involved.
So I'll definitely help with rate leading them
on the harder bosses if that is required
or make some of my famous video guides for the helpers
so they know what to expect when they join the group.
But I would not say that I do as much as the others do in the team.
Shout out to my boys, Tim, and Scribe, of course.
And there's a lot, honestly, the whole outside team gets involved.
But if I had to give it to one guy, it would be Stint.
He puts the most effort.
Yeah, I think it's just that the performance on the last day, I think we just
need to do what we've done the last couple of years, because I think we've proven
that we can reach the finish line, but crossing it over,
that is where we've been struggling a little bit.
So I think just being more mentally prepared for that
and just making sure that our slate is proper
so that when it matters at the very end,
we actually can perform and have that pool that finishes it.
Which sadly has not happened the last couple of times,
But yeah, just, there's no secret technique.
You just gotta do it at the end,
and hopefully the team is ready for that.
Quite a bit, I must say, I do miss it.
Now, I will say, if the game ever changes,
I have let's write no.
But if we don't need to have 15 characters each
and do a ton of splits, I may make a push
to come back into the fold.
But until then, it's just takes too much time.
And spending all that time to prep all the characters
is not very efficient for my position.
I'd rather do all of the things that I said before
and prepping and strategizing.
But in a separate universe where you could just
play one character and still be competitive,
then that would free up a lot of time
to do the rest of the things that I want to do.
So, I guess trust maybe in the future, but yeah, I do miss it a lot.

It's just keeping people interested.
That's true. I mean, I haven't been interested in lore for a few expansions,
but now with midnight, I'm like, okay, all right, we'll score here.
I'll get looks like a good pull so far on a little tech as we are
Yeah
Jack's went down again, he's gonna
No, it should be fun should be fun. It's fine. Please tell me it's fine. Oh
I might just go home a couple of days early.
Do you think we can strike?
Yeah.
You can unionise.
I'm very happy for a non-peaceful protest.
What about the riots and we all protest against them?
I'm used to riots.
Yeah.
That's true.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Sorry.
Oh my gosh.
If I win this competition by 20 euros, I will find you production
I don't know. Maybe Snake? Oh, maybe he'll...
I don't know.
Oh, can't go.
Get him to aim.
Unfair. Unfair boss for wild players. Okay.
This is not that kind of game. Where are you going with this?
I'm not trying to aim.
If I was trying to shoot stuff across the map, I'd go play Counter-Strike.
Well, maybe that's why you need this crosshair weak aura that they've got,
which is taking up the entirety of the screen.
We go I don't want to have to shoot stuff from across the game like this. I didn't sign up for this you ever played overwatch
I did you seem like a mercy. I am a mercy
For a different person because I don't I didn't actually see the image that was applied to Gabriel's bunches
I don't actually know that was because hello. This is deep this diva is Rosie Rosie would like to see JB sissy
We're going for a break
Come on, two mil, come on dude, come on we can do this, Maris, don't make us redo this
boss, Maris, Grandmother could have done this amount of damage, Maris, dead last down, come
on dude, kill it please, oh Pugatrick, yeah, we got it, Pug, let's go.
I can give a small spoiler now.
I will be multi-boxing the upcoming music rights.
Come on.
Hi, good morning.
Here through the Porta Crain.
Yep.
An international war crane.
There is a lovely bear who's flying up into the air.
And him and Zerbo are going to connect.
Check out this massive betrayal.
Charge.
See you later.
Bye-bye.
We are going to be in this.
No way.
How could this happen to me?
I'm made by the state.
Anonymous $500.
Whoa, thank you so much.
That's insane.
And guess what?
No!
No!
What are you doing?
Let's go!
You can't do that!
Nice!
Hey, guys.
Right, guys?
Whoa.
That's worse than I thought.
OK, so.
Here we go.
That's worse than I thought.
Okay, so we now have the results and much like a Mori Povic show, we will find out who Big Dog is.
Who is the Big Dog?
Jake.
Yeah!
Let's be serious for a moment.
This is...
I'll bet him up, SPAIN!
What a good point! What a good point!
What a good point! What a good point!
So, um...
Okay.
These jokes coming soon.
Let's slow it down a bit.
Can I predict? God.
Do we shadow step behind the boss?
We'll find out in just a few short moments here.
We're about to full speed and gotta get to that ad.
He slowed, he might just get the kick, but he'll still shadow step.
There we go.
Look for kicks, push the waves.
Look for Kicks, guys. No mistake.
No missing. You need to soak three orbs, rest of you.
There's him.
Look for Kicks.
You need to... And then look for Kicks.
What was Echo about to take the world first for the first time?
Here it comes! Just about the end!
They have done it! Vexo!
Itras have been defined.
World first goes to Echo.
Let's go!
Who big dog?! Who big dog?!
Who big dog?!
A world first for Echo taking down the six of eight!
Very nice.
Oh!
Talk to us.
Ah!
Thank you.
Call that one.
Ah!
Whoop!
And we're going to go to a short break as we work out what we're going to do on the
Casting couch which is a slightly suggestive name, but I think it's been a slightly suggestive stream
So we'll be back in a couple an echo
Hi, I'm Sam. I'm the creative director, head of production at Echo Media Sports. I joined
Echo back in the Sylvanas tier. That was my first race to work first, and I have been
running the production. So I used to work for a more business-oriented production company.
They used to do things for like Microsoft,
JCB, Aston Martin, our university,
and then when COVID hit,
that entire industry went to pieces.
Unfortunately, there was nothing that could be done there,
and I got made redoubled,
and by that time,
Echo went to post up on Twitter,
looking for somebody to help with the race towards first,
and it had been a passion of some that I always wanted to do,
and I applied for a laugh thinking that I'd never get it,
and here I am, flagging is there.
Yeah, so a day in life of production is really similar to a radar, we are up a little bit
before them, not massive amounts of time, so that we're here to prepare for when they're
on site.
We have to play, we work around the same schedules that they do obviously, because we want to
show it to be like when they're playing, and we do our best to follow them and tell the
story through the day. So like showing all of the polls, making sure that we're sort
of like filling the gaps when they're having meetings and especially discussions, and it's
just about sort of like reacting with the cast of team and making sure that you guys
have an entertaining show to watch. Definitely the sort of brass roots feeling that the rest
of what Frost Productions still has, like it still feels to this day, even though the
the scale of it has become so large that we are a community-run production, and what you
guys want and what we want is the same thing, and it's to have fun, show cool world cool
way bosses dying and a fair co-create that.
Which hopefully this time we get more.
Juggling the needs of all of the sponsor stuff.
You know, there's a lot of people that come in and really graciously sponsor these events
And we just have to make sure that everybody's happy,
and everybody feels like the promotion that we've done
is sort of like good for their brand,
and fitting the tones of lots of different brands all the time
is a constant struggle that us and the team
have worked really, really hard on.
Oh man, massively so.
We started in erupts in Switzerland with two screens,
three stream decks, and two guys,
And now we are in a massive studio with multiple multi-views
and giant audio racks and equipment that's all ours
instead of all rented.
Like Echo, over time, we've just built our own event
infrastructure where almost all of the technology you see
is owned and operated and set up by us, the team.
So it's gone from two guys renting a load of stuff
in a bar into which then, though we love the Upteam,
they are heroes to this.
And it's, yeah, I still can't believe it every day.
Yeah, we feel that one person can do all of the tasks.
So like there's only ever one operator
sat running the stream.
There's three of us that are on site
operating pretty much every event.
So myself, Kyloor and Pinky, who does our highlight videos,
is here for the first time this event.
It kind of gives you that command center feel where like you one person can make sure that everything runs really really smoothly
and the art casting team is so good that all we have to do is kind of like leave room for them to shine
and they can give them opportunities to do great work. So it's a pleasure.
I would say if you wanted to get into a sort of like live production
Go to your local theaters
Volunteer there are places where you can get really hands-on with cameras and stuff if you're willing to sort of like put some time in like
Working like and look for those opportunities and also like run your own tournament for your friends
You know like if you play guys play wow run a your own little mini MDI between your guild and into that and put it on
Twitch or put it on YouTube privately and practice. There are so many guides and so
many tools out there to sort of like learn to do what we do. The biggest piece of advice
is there's a piece of software called Bitfocus Companion. That is how everything works. It's
the skeleton that connects everything, the nervous system if you will actually sorry,
which is just connecting stream decks to stream decks and you can use them virtually
and you can learn how to set up audio control and all sorts of stuff. But don't be afraid to start.
is probably the biggest piece of advice do your own things help out in local community stuff uh
and just keep talking to people sign up to trade republic by scanning the qr code to get your exclusive
people okay it makes you a little bit unstable things aren't quite up yeah working up here
anymore mentally so we're good now um but yeah
um oh we have an important announcement
i lay a curse on you all only heroics splits until i come back
heroic all the time
force into an actual product that everyone can use kana's desk is rising because it's
so excited I shouldn't say that
ladies and gentlemen a poll is in place here five four three two one here we go
mythic is all Jan the altar has been pulled and here it is ladies and gentlemen
Oh, I get to see it.
Ah, it's just a joke.
It's a joke.
Ah, it's just a joke.
It's not a joke.
It's not a joke.
It's not a joke.
It's a joke.
Wait, mom can we listen to some music?
Mom, no we have music at home.
Music at home.
I just wanna scream, life goes on, I'm faded away, how could this happen to me?
Ranged, ranged, targeting?
Yeah.
Okay.
You know I went multiple tiers without hearing, like, I think two or three people?
Like, their voice.
I don't know what they sound like.
Yeah, exactly.
Two tiers.
I've never heard this person speak.
I have read it for like many years with Revers, and he said like five words.
And most of the time it was him arguing, it's like, Revers, did you pop Rally?
Really?
And it'd be like, I did not want to.
You get shat
I have, Revers is the only person that I have heard is like Revers really, Revers really, and Revers like, no
Literally, the only person I've heard is...
That's right, refuse a raid cooldown
That's right, we just take it, like, you do not argue with the sir, the sir argues with you
Alright, the only teeth mine, are you going to do this theory?
Oh, it just sort of, it's not just bug
It's just a storm on the surface in here.
Yeah, it's a spark, right?
We got Blizzard.
Blizzard?
Hey.
Blizzard did that.
Look at that, that's what my laptop looks like.
I'm a snake. I'm so sleazy. I'm sleety. Cause I'm a snake.
Look into my eyes. I'm a slithery. I'm hypnotized snake.
And that's it!
Well, I'm sorry everyone.
What can I do?
Guess what on silver as for boobies were being we were bringing
Oh
They're in silence never be clipped the I'm a terrible person
Okay, hoping the city's here
I've just received a very very horrible
From an analysis as I hope this donation makes time up hospital for some kids at least slightly better
in the race world experience that caner has had was alex is casting
I'm not
I said you said that
Let's go, let's go.
He is bad.
And it was really me.
Circle is arranged out, guys.
Moon is made in keep moon, keep moon, keep moon.
I got it, I got it, okay?
It's on to the moon.
Okay, you can start one next.
Bye-ya!
Bye-ya!
Bye-ya!
So long, guys!
I had that going.
The whole time, boy.
It's set amount of time.
Oh my goodness.
What is this?
I was part of a special task force of very young looking cops who infiltrated high schools.
How do you do fellow kids?
What?
Do you ever, like, notice how the braiders all get up and they're, they're fear in their
eyes that they're chosen for the interview?
Yes, I make eye contact and say, oh yeah, it's you, and there's the level of fear on their face.
I did this to Roger, and Roger was like, me? Oh, oh, oh, I'm ready.
I was like, no, Roger is okay, it's not really you.
And he was like, oh, thank you, and then he ran.
Thank you, thank you.
And he was like, oh, not that I would mind having an interview with you, it's just, oh, I want to eat.
Yeah, I like to strike fear into the right desires whenever I sit down with single lads.
Oh yeah.
You want to send it, though?
Yeah.
Send it, though.
Fuck it, boys.
Send them.
Okay.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Last one? Yeah this is amazing.
That's what we fucking made these boys.
I'm Scribe, I'm Echo's raid leader as well as their co-CEO.
responsibilities of course the publicly seen side is the like shot calling or
calling whatever is supposed to be done but the thing that's not getting as
much streamed I guess because we often mute comms or during private meetings is
just the general planning of what we want to do when it is about strategies
for bosses or setups for the bosses, what classes we play, it can be maybe a software
that we need to develop, it could be about loot, it's like generally everything, though
I am trying to not become the person that's assigned to do the job, because that would
mean I can't do anything else, even though sometimes I am kind of forced to, because
I, like a specific topic is like I'm already too deep that I could hand it off to someone
else.
I tried to delegate as much as possible, but yeah, it's like a general manager type of
position of a company, I guess.
Oh yeah, back then I would delegate way less.
So we didn't have a person like Meris or for splits, we didn't have stint.
So I would kind of do everything and get like my hands dirty.
And it was a lot more stressful I would say, though now there is like, instead of that
I'm doing more the business side, especially like during farm, during progress it is definitely
more chill compared to like 34 years ago where I had a lot less sleep and it was just not
good but me being like healthy is also good for my rate leading so it's not like I'm
working less and you know it's not good it's good yeah so when I get the first
information it's like we see the journal on PTR well just read everything by
myself first of all then we discuss it with any officers and see if we have
like some initial strats it depends also what kind of boss it is right like the
first boss we don't really talk about too much last boss because there's no
PTR tests we will need to think a lot more on that. It goes through iterations, right?
Like we try to find the room map that got data mined from somewhere, see what things could mean,
we measure the room, how big are things in relation to how big the room is, how much movement might be
necessary and start thinking about what classes would be good for it. Then we test it of course
typically and then have a much better idea and after that yeah refining the
strat if there is something that we can like practice in a way we would do that
but oftentimes we know too little or it's not like a realistic way to practice it
depends like on Ulitec for example it's I mean we know there's gonna be ads that
we will cleave probably and there will be a damage amp phase like there are
very good indication of things but and also sometimes you can data mine things
that are also not in the journal but it is also sometimes quite chaotic but it
depends on the fight of it and sometimes it's a bit better though for example in
Jailer we had really good prep even though like it never sets the test of it
but it was exactly as we thought honestly and we kind of practiced
that is why we were really good on jailer it yeah overlap with our thoughts
um so we will this is a lot of time goes into this the class research and it
things change very quickly you gotta be up to date like even just today as we're
filming this a couple hours ago they changed stuff on some items that's
where they're also like a box in the game and then they fix the box which might
mean might be a nerf or a buff to a class but for example they fixed it
The item buffs from the very first items on the last ones were stacking in a weird way.
Not really stacking, but yeah.
So basically there's a lot of like in-depth research and because we're trying to...
I mean, we have the 0.3% wipe from the minis, you know.
Because we're playing to that level, it's anything like a 2% bofter class, 2% nerf to another one,
might suddenly mean, yeah, we're no longer stacking this, we're getting something else in.
It can very quickly change.
So we're permanently, like we're doing DPS tests,
we're figuring out what the current bugs are,
reporting them, seeing if they are fixed,
if they are fixed, we're adjusting immediately.
And on top of that, even if we do the best research we can,
there are things there that will slip and we do the boss
and suddenly we're realizing,
okay, this is not as we thought it was in theory,
especially on last bosses,
it's kind of like full RNG thing,
what will be really good.
And suddenly you need to bring a class that you had not expected at all.
So yeah, you're constantly flexible, doing research.
I don't think very intentional.
There are moments where I'm not calm, but like, I would say I'm a generally calm person.
I don't like rage at things that much.
The one thing that tells me quite a lot is people like intentionally don't focus.
Like they're just like me being around or something too much.
maybe depending on the moment obviously right that can make me angry though I
think it's also at this age I don't get that angry at easily having two kids you
know it's fine I don't honestly the playing I don't even think about it
that much anymore I think I think I do miss it in a way although this is also
really fun but you know I can play things as well I don't mean I don't even
remember how it feels anymore honestly to play the race I would love to do it
don't get me wrong but it's okay like this is pretty cool as well

You think so? I don't know. I don't know. No, it's no repression. Maybe it's nope. That's
Come on guys, I said we're good!
I said we're good!
No scrunch, wanna kill?
No, wait, why scrunch?
You can do P1 again without me. I'll make myself.
But we're fucked!
No way!
Oh my god.
Six twenty-two here!
That's...
Mike's actually here?
What?
That was a welcome secret.
How the hell did they hide that?
Every time I race for film, when I call it a great fight, great, it's probably 200 plus points.
Absolutely torture for the people involved.
But I mean, that's what we're here for.
Like, it needs to really, like...
It needs to really fuck you up.
Yeah.
It needs to give you nightmares.
like everyone ready to press I believe this is probably like maybe 10 players
at the same time
OOOOOOOH
my god
ha ha
execute the mages
why?
stop following me okay
what are you talking about?
f***
what the hell to Keshie?
So we have 200,000 kids and in return get a homeless bald guy on the couch.
We're all for charity but this is a joke.
Can we please be careful with the A-O-E on the bald please?
JK missed you.
Get ready to go do your jobs in two, one, go.
I
Because they also I don't even know but they didn't do the north right?
Oh, yeah, oh shit, sorry
You so skilled it with no nerve yeah, I mean then the super low attempt it was not enough and it's they're not
They're gonna nerf it when you guys get a bet no, I mean they said they're not nothing
It's all why did they announce the nurse and Alex came over here gave us a big announcement
Like was he lying? I mean, I assume they didn't ever because we're about to kill it. Okay, but I mean
I don't know what they're gonna do overnight. No, then you sleep
So wait, so you think they announced the nurse they got the they got the broadcast up as they're going to press the like
They're like whoa, whoa, whoa, look at this
10%
Get away from that
the mess of nothing.
Well, you heard it here first.
Echo prevented them from nerfing.
He had such a good pull,
they were in the middle of pressing the nerf button,
and then they're like,
nah, look at that, 3% pull.
This is killable.
Don't, forget those nerfs.
I'm a magician
Reversed.
What the fuck is he doing?
He's looking so bad for us.
Lord!
You're on a long way today.
Oh my goodness!
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
It's coming home.
It's coming home.
It's coming home.
All the tech's coming home.
It's coming home.
It's coming home.
This is was hitting hard or is it just learning the rhythm no
Many damage points for second if you do want to look any other time it's full free
Yeah, I will
This is the most dangerous time in a healer's mind is when a DPS player gets hit by a mechanic and realizes they can live
If the healer heals them because then the little hamster wheel starts turning in the head
You can see it happen
It's the worst thing in the world as a healer when a DPS thinks a mechanic will one-shot them
And they play as if the mechanic will one-shot them and then one time they get hit by it and they live and you can
See the scheme forming in their mind. They're like
they're like hold on if I get hit by this you can heal me through it they're like wow I mean
and they're like hmm we're squeezing to the right squeezing to the right take an egg and
squeeze the right piece guys stop take it stop take it oh yes okay watch the dust now
Look at the boss.
Right.
Left.
Left.
Watch the fail, man.
I'm still gonna come out either way.
Behind.
Behind.
Behind.
I can't again! I can't again! I can't again!
Ignore this guy, roll him down. Let's hack the left here, okay?
We don't need to report this guy instantly.
Okay, we'll put him in.
Yeah, generally speaking, the heart damage is not that important.
But you can see us all moving our way over.
Unlock. Genji, we're able to use...
Oh, don't guess we need more for Genji.
I'm sorry, didn't know you could hear it.
Didn't know you could hear it, sorry, sorry.
You think you could with your big dog stuff?
Yeah.
Who big dog?
Who big dog?
Who big dog?
Who big dog?
Yeah!
Who big dog?
Who big dog?
Yeah!
Of course, but and we'll be as always at JB. Is there any lost words of wisdom that you want to give maybe the players or maybe just the viewers at home?
Oh, let's see you was a wisdom
If you're gonna start using hair loss products, it has to be before the hair is gone. Yep, anybody that's
Maybe that's thinking about that. You don't want to wait
That's why it's um sometimes that's enough. Yeah, that's beautiful. Thank you very much JB big dog
We're gonna go out on a specific because I think that's the right way of doing it
Yeah, so thank you chap. Have a lovely day. We'll be back right and early tomorrow
I
Without its master's commands, the restless scourge will become even greater friends.
Control must be maintained.
There must always be a licking king.
But it is not your own!
There he is!
Wait, oh, that is Farley!
The dragon's flame...
...sealed my fates.
The world of the living can no longer comfort me.
Place the crown upon my head to him.
Forevermore...
I will be the jailer of the town.
No, old friend. I cannot.
You idiot!
Tell them all here that the Lich King is dead.
I think that deserves a nice little howl should we do it together on three
What are we doing on three?
A hawl, a bark, a wolf.
Are you ready?
Alright, on three.
Alright, one, two, three.
Roar!
Wait!
You betrayed me!
What?!
You serious?
What?!
Hawl!
What was that? What was happening?
What people have to listen to?
Describe, that was only the mythic splits. I think uh, didn't we get a list that did something like 400 plus boss kills?
Er, something stupid.
They did 380 normal mode boss kills, 383 heroic boss kills, and this was all within the first week.
Yeah.
And in terms of mythic, we just worked out it was about 38 or something.
Yeah.
So, you know, we're getting close to...
100 or so.
What?
I don't... nearly 800.
Yeah, that's just crazy.
Boss kill has been a week.
Stop it.
Get some help.
Are we bucking?
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
As you can see, I did one solo, you did one solo.
Yeah.
And now we do one as a trio, right, Kena?
Huh?
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
You do not build up a spy solace, accessing where I live, okay?
Like, people don't eat spicy food.
Right.
since then been you know trying more stuff and I have gotten the top of the
spies and I like spies because it hurts me and it takes away all the other
pain that's jokes I am okay we're all good okay no need to be sad I just like
yeah that's me you're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation
Donate twenty dollars. Catch up on the teller.
That sounds horrendous.
I am so sorry.
I have defended many things and I think a lot of good things are good.
Catch up on the teller.
What?
That's all I want to say. Yes.
What was that?
That's hot chocolate.
When I hear Scryke give me the oh yes.
What? One more, one more.
Oh, yes.
You do not you don't have that on your face
I'm gonna move on and the control is looking great no depth as of yet, but I hope I'm not jinxing that and incontipate glass
Oh, it seems that cana did choose violence with that cast a curse. I'm lucky to echo. I'm so sorry
Shit. Oh, perfect. So lips hold hold on with my world first phase three
Even though it's going to be scarred teeth, stay alive, come on, see the boss, we need to see the boys.
Oh, hello, I'm not saying you're done, there we go, that's the petrifying breath from the biker.
We're in the first three, let's go!
Show me a weakened face.
We're actually going outside today.
What?
Me and Joe.
Me and Joe, we have decided, and we'll find more people along.
But after the shift, we're going to take a scoot scoot, go to a lake, walk around it,
Look at the duckies a little bit, absorb some CO2, because it hurts me and it takes away all the other pain.
So it's been an absolute pleasure, man. It's been a pleasure to be hanging out with you guys over the last two weeks.
And unfortunately, life being life this time, I wasn't able to say the whole duration, but assuming I'm coming back in the future,
then I would, well, okay.
Dude.
You can't kill me.
But if I'm coming back, then it shouldn't be a problem again.
But yeah, life is life this time, but I'm sure you guys have a lovely time.
I'll be watching a home along with you and probably pestering you guys as much as possible. Please do. Oh, yeah
That's all from me. That's all from mr. Mike. You guys be lovely to each other
It's been a fantastic day. We'll be back tomorrow
Well, these guys will be under me on a plane and we will see you tomorrow for some great
Bye
Do you think you're going to change your comp at some point or because I think you're like you're giving me a Narko Balak ability?
Yeah, we've done two spits for Narko Balak.
And you don't know if you want to build it from a healer or from a debaser or from a tank.
Oh yeah, so you're saying that Baden's are just here for a buff.
Yeah.
I mean, I mean...
Yeah, okay, I see.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the race world first, I co-broadcast, I'm Cana
and I'm joined by Chorlam, I choose you, you shriek!
So anyway, I think it was super effective for getting people to roll away from the street.
Hello kids everybody, we are in Split 3!
Aren't you allowed to flame if you're already old?
Like we are already old.
I'm telling you, nice rooms must be the oldest in the book.
Yeah, I'm literally the youngest there in this room right now.
I have only one question best. Have you seen below nice rooms cat?
Come on, nice rooms cat.
No!
No!
Right now! Right now!
It's the next time.
She's like, I do not want to be the third wheel and interrupt today.
And I am not being a fucking solo wheel.
Like it's crazy.
Unicycling this way to the left.
call some back shots
Echo have had it, with these mother flipping snakes on this mother flipping raid.
Can they do it?
Oh, just really trying to spread as the boss does get lower and lower.
Unfortunately some of the gamers are going down as we do have the venomous heart.
This is the final pump now for Echo.
Wow, they have done it!
Oh, yes.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
We run out of eggs, and I run out of fire.
Oh, dude!
Oh, man!
He's been great media.
Sorry I didn't get to spend more time with you, honestly.
I didn't get to spend a lot of time on the couch. Hopefully you guys enjoyed your time with me.
Hopefully you guys enjoyed watching. I must bid you well farewell.
Hopefully we'll see you in the next race. Good luck, Echo!
Yeah, thank you so much guys.
We'll be quick.
Yeah, we'll be back very quickly
You're gonna fail, Strangers. Many try before you, but they only make us stronger.
The Shadow gonna fall.
No time to run and no strangers.
Soon you're gonna join the souls of them you failed to save.
I'm Scribe, I'm Echo's radio leader as well as their co-CEO.
My responsibilities of course the publicly seen side is the shot calling or calling whatever
was supposed to be done, but the thing that's not getting as much streamed, I guess, because
we often mute the comms or private meetings, is just the general planning of what we want
to do, when it is about strategies for bosses or setups for the bosses, what classes we
play. It can be maybe a software that we need to develop. It could be about loot. It's like
generally everything, though I am trying to not become the person that's assigned to do the job
because that would mean I can't do anything else even though sometimes I am kind of forced to
because I like a specific topic is like I'm already too deep that I could handle it off to
someone else trying to delegate as much as possible but yeah it's like a general
manager type of position of a company I guess oh yeah back then I would delegate
way less so we didn't have a person like Maris or for splits we didn't have
stint so I would kind of do everything and get like my hands dirty and it was a
lot more stressful I would say though now there is like instead of that I'm
doing more the business side, especially like doing farm.
During progress, it is definitely more chill compared to like three or four years ago where I had a lot less
sleep and it was just not good. But me being like healthy is also good for my
rate leading. So it's not like I'm working less and you know, it's not good. It's good.
Yeah, so when I get the first information, it's like, we see the journal on PTR, we'll
just read everything by myself, first of all, then we discuss it within the officers and
see if we have like some initial strats. It depends also what kind of boss it is, right?
Like the first boss, we don't really talk about too much. Last boss, because there's
no PTR test, we will need to think a lot more on that. It goes through iterations, right?
We try to find the room map that got data
mined from somewhere, see what things could mean.
We measure the room, how big are things,
in relation to how big the room is,
how much movement might be necessary,
and starting with what classes would be good for it.
Then we test it, of course, typically,
and then have a much better idea.
And after that, yeah, if we're finding the strats,
if there is something that we can practice in a way,
We would do that, but sometimes we know too little or there's
not a realistic way to practice it.
Depends.
Like on Ulitec, for example, we know
there's going to be ads that we will cleave, probably,
and there will be a damaged hand phase.
There are very good indications of things.
And also, sometimes you can data mine things that are also
not in the journal.
but it is also sometimes quite chaotic
but it depends on the fight of it.
And sometimes it's a bit better though.
For example, on Jailer, we had really good prep
even though we never tested it,
but it was exactly as we thought, honestly,
and we kind of practiced that.
That's why we were really good on Jailer.
It, yeah, overlap with our thoughts.
So this is a lot of time goes into this, the class research, and things change very quickly.
You've got to be up to date, like even just today as we're filming this a couple hours ago,
they changed stuff on some items that were...
But they're also like a box in the game, and then they fix the box, which might mean,
might be a nerf or a buff to a class, but for example, they fixed the item buffs from the very first items
those were stacking in a weird way.
Not really stacking, but yeah.
So basically, there's a lot of in-depth research.
And because we're trying to, I mean,
we have the 0.3% wipe on the dimensions, you know?
Like, because we're playing to that level,
it's anything like a 2% buffer class,
2% nerf to another one, might something mean,
yeah, we're no longer stacking is
we're getting something else in.
It can very quickly change.
So we're permanently, like, we bring VPS tests,
We are figuring out what the current bugs are,
reporting them, seeing if they are fixed,
if they are fixed or adjusting immediately.
And on top of that, even if we do the best research we can,
there are things there that will slip.
And we do the boss, and suddenly we're realizing, OK,
this is not as we thought it was in theory,
especially on last bosses.
It's kind of like a whole R&G thing,
what will be really good.
And suddenly you need to bring a class
that you had not expected at all.
So yeah, you're constantly flexible doing research.
I don't think very intentional.
There are ones where I'm not calm.
But I would say I'm a generally calm person.
I don't rage at things that much.
The one thing that tells me quite a lot is people
intentionally don't focus.
Like they're just meaning around or something too much,
maybe depending on the moment, obviously, right?
That can make me angry.
I think it's also at this age, I don't get that angry easily having two kids, you know, it's fine.
I don't, honestly, the playing, I don't even think about it that much anymore.
I think I do miss it in a way, although this is also really fun.
But, you know, I can play things as well.
I don't even remember how it feels anymore, honestly, to play the race.
I would love to do it, don't get me wrong.
But it's okay. Like this is pretty cool as well

So great question from Alex earlier, what about the eggs?
Do male animals lay eggs? Let's have a look at the screen. As you can see very high quality presentation
Do male animals lay eggs? Second slide.
No!
Male seahorses do carry eggs though, so that's what we're thinking about.
It's a tedious playstyle and I don't want to do it in Raid.
So I am hoping that the rest of the group remains unbust in both Raid and Mythic Clust, because it's the same tedium exists in Mythic Clust.
mythic quest I hope it stays mediocre you know good enough that like if your
rest of your main you don't get bullied for playing it but not good enough that
anybody wants to bring it to a reasonable price because I don't want to play this
character. I'm sorry for you it's just how much more betrayal can I take?
I mean you can really launch on these. This is exactly how you have to sit.
And we'll hand it back over to the uh the car for dust
Thank you, man. It professional is always
Oh, this is what I did
It's in a lot of ways like um like NASCAR where it's a bunch of a bunch of laps
And if everything goes correct in a NASCAR race, it is I think by most accounts relatively boring
Right, okay. The cars are just
You know, it's like all right, you're driving a circle forever like
for this donation Alex I would like to hold your hand three dollars from Ross
help fire to the butcher thank you very much thank you very much for your
To this point yeah, we can talk about how far I said that for a while. I'm sure
There'll be people that'll ask in in stream occasionally like how do you deal with people getting mad at you?
When they die and like I feel so bad and it's like the trick is those aren't people
Like you just have to pretend like you're playing with NPCs all the time. Oh my god
There's not there's not a person with feelings on the other end of that character. That's just a that's just a computer guy running around
Yeah, if they die who cares what is he taking?
Roast what how much 22 is that how many you need that's how he sees himself wiping here
20 more times. This is the face of a man who's robbed his own
Bind this is this is quite literally tax evasion Roger
It's a tax evasion to rob your own bank?
It's just Birkenbeer though.
It's your insurance fraud?
Yeah, maybe.
I
We always had a tradition if you got anything that could be worn, you had to wear it on your head.
Just immediately. That was like, if you got a Christmas present, it could be worn. It's immediately on your head.
Aren't socks like the standard go-to?
Yeah, but they go on your ears.
Oh, so...
Is there anything else to that that I can use to hide my baldness?
Yeah, here you are.
Oh, yeah.
Fantastic.
Yep.
Can you put the bag in?
Thank you.
Look at them really like, shitting.
Fantastic.
Oh, no worries, no worries.
Fit check, fit check.
Don't hit the bus, guys. We're gonna get knocked.
AFK.
We're gonna get Nox soon, go to the middle, edge to the middle, knock back in two, one, knock.
He was not stopping hitting, but I will actually find you.
Okay, I'm sorry. It's just, Alex was talking about how he was kicked from a split, and then Karate just stood there laughing at-
I wasn't invited to progress further, that's all.
I'm not washed up.
Fire breath on all the... all the malox... all the malox...
New malox, new malox...
Of course we need the best maloc noise.
I've heard some other guilds are planning on going in mythical Monday or something.
We're not doing that.
We're trying to get there, like, maybe even tomorrow.
Sure, sure, yes.
Maybe not tomorrow.
You said it!
Fast in the Monday.
Okay?
Maybe not tomorrow.
You said it!
Fast and handy.
Okay.
If you like to go our way, you can release and do a chit-sign.
He's actually doing chit-sign with Bruce. Can you just jump off?
No!
Okay.
Just a great donation. Thank you for everybody who has been donating.
$25 coming in from Grenjal.
Just now he says, willing to donate £100 for every medic death this split.
Oh, oh, oh no.
Today can make it happen.
£100 for every death.
Kids don't deserve the money.
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
Wow!
Hi, I'm Julia. I'm the chef here at SK Gaming and I'm super ecco when they come over.
Okay, so my first race to work first was...
was September 2024 and I've sort of been in the
east port catering since 2021.
It was kind of an accident.
It was when the pandemic happened and I was working in a bar and I'd lost my job and I
was scrolling indeed and I came across an advert that said cooking for athletes and I
screenshot it and send it to a friend thinking was it maybe the Kerna high which
is the local hockey team here and we debated we had no idea and I just sent
off an application anyway and then I got a call back and that was kind of it yes
I yes I walked into the room there was all these PCs decked out and I was like
what what are these athletes I guess I want to say organizations these
forces are crazy and like leading up to this event I didn't know how long some
of the SK bootcamps were gonna last for if they would stay indefinitely or leave
suddenly and then trying to plan food around that and numbers and things like
this it's I'm just always gonna remain flexible and easy going yeah I mean I
I try to also cater to all different, like,
cuisines.
I sometimes get the players to put in requests
and just try to keep people happy,
have a good rapport with them, and learn from them
as much as they learn from me, I guess.
Yeah, it becomes a challenge at times,
but I enjoy doing it.
I enjoy food as anyone does, I guess, and catering to the specific people is something
that I genuinely enjoy doing.
I think it's the potato gratin and the seared chicken with like a salad or a roasted veg
side depends on the weather.
Yes, but it's not like, it's more about textures.
Like, I hear quite often no one really likes risotto, or people don't mind risotto.
But yeah, that would be the number one thing I should veto.
I do. It is a crazy time. It's a lot of stress, but it's chaotic. I'm ready for the chaos and I genuinely enjoy all the people and everyone. It's a good time for you too.

They're gonna be swimming in the beans.
I'm missing a one-year doctor, Pepega, and Nako.
That's made in heaven.
Sorry, sorry, Nako, sorry, okay.
Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture.
They're the same picture.
You can get people with that. Spell Mississippi.
In my ass, it's on your side.
Mississippi.
Got him!
Can you spell I-cup?

He sees me pee!
I had no idea where that was going!
We won't be crossing swords unfortunately on this broadcast, but...
The Bruceans way, you guys get some...
Oh my god, you're so fucking stupid within.
the boys gonna move again follow the boss
so we got $5 from an unplugged bridge okay I'm so sorry Mike guys tell
I'm sorry for slapping Roger
Please let me back in. I have my wife and kids and I need to get away from them. I'm making you
I had the chillest groups, bro
You know you weren't in a group of not, bro. You dodged everything
I was in a group of Marco, put two tears in a row so I had a break this time
I
May be the best that kill the blizzard editor we have ever created across any of the games
Defend it because you've essentially
As much time as you possibly
to this boss and then them and got nothing out of it you're gonna wipe I mean I don't think so
good but how much can we trust you dude based on history pretty much none at all
you can always try to trust me
So here's the snake head, look at that, that's the snake head, that's the smell, and then
this is where its neck is.
I feel it actually connect to the head, I see how it is.
This one's been a bit my goochie.
And then there's this little shelter.
Oh, ha ha ha!
I can't get rid of it.
I can't get rid of it.
Oh, we did have the Six-Seven donation.
Second!
From Palace Strider.
That means you've unlocked Bok for...
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
I'm going left and still watching the tailshots and the ones from the back after as well and
You need to get into the soaks after as well.
What's the back shot?
Back ones?
And 456?
Shout out.
456 soaking.
I'm gonna learn my lesson.
I eat some more water.
Thank you.
Grinjal, thank you so much for your donation.
You're incredibly kind.
Very generous of you.
I want to stress none of us are making Kuala do this.
That is entirely by choice.
I'm a mealy with a big circle watch feed now feed watch our feed feed feed feed feed feed
I'm going to suck it like a dog would oh here we go
Oh they're backwards song they're about to get a song
The noise is good. Yeah it's a very wet beard
Yeah, it's a very wet beard, but dogs get a wet beard when they drink as well.
It's true, I'm just gonna hold this here for a little while.
Oh, we don't have a tissue around, so...
And, oh, good luck.
No.
Come here, please.
I don't know, it's...
The final one is coming in 12.41 and in this voice, it's going to be really hard because
there's a lot of damage to it, so hopefully Jinji can get the power of infusion and do
lots of true shots that all have marksmen that aim shots at the heart.
And it would be really powerful if hopefully a koken will win this time because they haven't
had a very good time recently, so hopefully they get world first and Jinji does some good
He doesn't kill everyone or something!
Thank you!
Ah, there's that!
There's that!
What do you call an elephant in the morphal?
I don't know.

Hello, I'm Merus, I'm a tank man, a deco, I often move to bosses around and do things,
and I'm also an officer, doing a lot of guild management and organization, scheduling around
the outside of the race most of the time as well for the game in general. Prep in terms
of like tanking everything is completely different from like the officer role so it's two different
things. One of them is like tanking obviously the class choices and how the bosses play
so you need to kind of imagine how the bosses play before we get to see them to see what
class you want to pick for the actual testing and also learn and investigate which classes
are good and bad of course so the normal class research like every other role I would say
as well. And then the officer role is obviously very different because it's more about like
trapping the strats and the overt picture of everyone in the game, who plays what class
role, who covers what rate bar for all odds and what combinations from bosses are possible
and obviously all the strat-forming that happens often as a team. And then also more
like in the race obviously from Roger and Schreiber, I'm not so involved anymore because
I'm obviously up to play.
Yeah, I mean, I'm the one reaching out to players.
If it's not a healer, if it's not a healer,
I'm reaching out to new tries and speak with them
and get them like the initial interview before they
get to the officer team and then we speak with them.
But also like Jenny, just looking at the roster,
who could be like improving or who needs feedback,
also in general, I love feedback.
And collecting feedback is very big for us, right?
Like getting the players' opinion on basically any topic
after a year is very important.
So we can improve for it next year or improve their situation, their personal problem or whatever, right?
So all of that kind of falls under that department, I guess.
I mean, that depends, I guess. If either the boss is very difficult, like I would say, for example,
Belren and Mura were both really, really difficult tank fights, where most of the time I help out with great leading
or doing other things on the side, but both bosses were very difficult and I couldn't really do it too well, sadly.
That is one of the things, obviously, balancing in between on both those roles is very important.
And then the other thing is obviously like staying alive and picking the right tanking job to do the best you can to support the team
or blast the most damage depending on what role I guess you take in the fight.
I mean, I think back then I was a joy to pass a lot more because I especially in dungeons.
I've recently started tanking dungeons right with the MDI, like coming around that I now
played the tank.
I have been playing DPS for five years in tournaments and whatever and I do enjoy DPSing dungeons
still I think more than tanking.
But for rating it's the reverse, I think at this point I enjoy tanking, rating more
than the DPSing just because I think tanking a lot of other roles and things going on and
there's a lot of other cool challenges that I make myself that I don't necessarily have
to do with only playing my class correctly on the fight, which makes it fun, no tank
fights.
No, actually, I think what is very interesting, what would make tank very interesting for
me in rating is that the tank mechanics are not as boring and more incorporated in the
whole situation, like they can still be or taunt after XYZ, but US tank should be involved
in all the mechanics.
Just like I mean, I had to say it, but for a friend, it is great where basically tanks
still have to play all mechanics and move around and play all the other things where
oftentimes in the current game you just hit at the boss and you get a tank mechanic and then
you turn around that the whole team has some crazy debuff situation going on and you're like
yeah I'm here right so I think if they start implementing the tanks more in the rate mechanic
situation it would be very cool and for dungeons I think they would need to get a little bit
responsibility of the tank because like 80% of the tank the dungeon responsibility and like
routing or pulling and everything right is all on the tank and if something fails that guy is
getting like flamed and he's very sad and it's not a good time and you probably deployed the key
so overall that maybe just trying to lift the weight of the tank a little bit might be the
player but that's way harder to balance than the rating segment in my opinion. Sign up to

You don't have to call anyone out, don't call anyone out.
Yeah.
By the way, who's the team K28?
Can you stop editing this?
K28 is being edited and it's like, going weird.
It's you.
It's that for me.
Oh, I'm searching for, I know I'm controlling it.
I guess it'd be clip-able if I ate this on stream. We did just have dinner so I'm not
Not famished, but I recognize a good opportunity for content when I see one, so...
Well, and you stand at the tree-line.
Okay.
You're also goblin, I assume.
Why have you railroaded me like this?
What are you there? Would you like to describe your character to the audience?
League of Legends cast her with a bad voice
cause I cast too much obviously
I see
I am also a goblin
I felt very well moded in the mo medallics
I'm sorry I might spoil the character
I think it's doing well
I'm just ruined
Why don't you just peel your chicken nuggets?
Do you not peel your chicken nuggets?
This is gonna be
I'm gonna tell this story
the same way I tell
Not bad, no, no, no, no!
Stop.
Do you not peel your chicken nugget?
I actually do, I actually do peel it. Is that not normal?
Final decision is red card.
Make a dress! Make a dress!
That was... that was...
No! Please!
The bet is $90.67 away.
Got it.
From, uh, Ritching us...
I don't think you have to say that.
Oh, he's just quit. He's just gonna quit.
We shouldn't have to bother this.
Deploy the flashback.
I if we're having a conversation like yeah, I really like tendril. I take like two full steps backwards
Is it a case of like which version do you know? No, it's not a case of no
It's uh, I'm pretty sure clinically
It's a it's a way to diagnose brain damage
That's like one of the tests might be a worm in there is they'll ask you like can you tell me who the current president is?
Can you tell me what year it is?
Do you like to get you like tendril? Yeah, and it might be part of TSA screening in the US actually
You go back to the border. Yeah, I'm not allowed to get on a flight. They're like, yeah, I'm doing like sir
I need you to step over here to this one. This is the tendril line
Like we don't have the rest item if you rest me with the rest item I can rest someone else
Vot on 7-3.
What, Vot on 7-3?
Vot on 7-3, Vot on 7-3.
Ha ha ha ha, ho!
Ha ha ha ha.
What just happened?
What is going on?
Bakfah is accused of abusing a 92-year-old woman
with dementia whose leg was broken.
Another employee is ordered to turn herself in
within the next 24 hours.
Mm-mmm, mm-mmm, mm-mmm, mm-mmm, mm-mmm, mm-mmm, mm-mmm, mm, mm-mmm, mm, mm, mm-mmm, mm-mmm.
Next Zollie into Gebel, for the back!
Caw!
But today is Ulytec.
Ulytec?
Maybe, Midi-plus.
No, Ulytec for us.
We won't let the others do Midi-plus.
If we start Midi-plus, I'm gonna jump.
Up and down.
Up and down.
Up some stairs.
In rage.
Up and down some stairs.
Oh, Alex was trying to do earlier, but I can show you guys my feet.
That is legally not allowed so that was a joke for comedic purposes.
That was not possible for the sister of Darker, so he won't be showing his feet.
I'll show my feet for a thousand dollars.
That could also be an efficient thing. Killing this guy quicker.
If they are not soaking. That's what you need.
I don't think we need to overthink it too much. Just don't die mainly.
I can't believe it.
The mythic can happen at any time.
And so you're always on edge. You're always at this point.
It's like, you keep watching.
Maybe you stop for me. You keep watching.
But it's not even keep watching because I think we're quite entertaining
even when splits are happening.
The whole cast of the team has been very entertaining.
But as a castor, you're sitting there like,
I could see it. I could see mythic.
We could come from anywhere.
And then bit by bit, they just get pushed back
and pushed back and pushed back.
And then Roger comes onto the green screen
It's time for mythic guys, we're gonna go into mythics and we just need a couple of my helpers
Just a little bit of my helpers, just a little bit of helpers, and they'll go into mythics soon
Or they'll be like, you got your mythic item, I'll give you gold, I'll give you gold
If you help us and you're friends, I'll give you money!
Yeah, I think that's what the problem is, I think that's the general, that's the...
I think I'll gather very well this whole...
Oh no!
Hello, I'm Roger Brown, I'm co-CEO and head analyst or strategist for ECHO.
I've been doing it for many years, and I've been playing World of Warcraft for, what is
it now, 20 years or so?
Before the race we prep a lot for its individual boss.
I would say for myself I put a lot of emphasis on the strategies that we're going to use,
any add-ons or recores, sadly, that are still in the game, and try to use those to the best
of our abilities.
And yeah, just trying to find wherever we can get an edge over the competition.
That would be my main focus.
Yeah, when the raid starts, we have different times, let's say, where I need to allocate
my time differently.
So at the start, I'll try to help as much as I can with the splits and raid leading,
But at the same time also checking if other guilds are pulling mythic bosses and trying
to have that prep as much as possible, see if there's any changes from what we tested
on PTR compared to live.
And once we know the comp we want to run on each boss, make the assignments and be fully
ready to pull the boss.
Over the years it's changed a lot, a lot.
So in the past, everyone was playing in the raid,
including myself, believe it or not.
But slowly but steadily, there's been a trend
to have more people from the outside supporting
the team that is inside.
So I've, myself, I've stopped raiding, basically,
for a couple of years following in the footsteps of strike.
And the team on the outside has expanded
to almost double digits right now.
And yeah, just a lot more preparation.
Every time we just one up ourselves from the last year,
we've built upon what we've learned,
create more tools to support us,
and just streamline as much as possible the process.
So it has changed quite a lot over the years,
always trying to be more efficient and better.
So I want to have the least amount possible to do with Splits.
Not always doable, but I at least try
to limit how much I get involved.
So I'll definitely help with rate leading them
on the harder bosses if that is required
or make some of my famous video guides for the helpers
so they know what to expect when they join the group.
But I would not say that I do as much as others do in the team.
Shout out to my boy, Stintz, and Scribe of course.
And there's a lot, honestly, the whole outside team gets involved.
But if I had to give it to one guy, it would be Stintz.
He puts the most effort.
Yeah, I think it's just that the performance on the last day, I think we just need to do
what we've done the last couple of years.
because I think we've proven that we can reach the finish line,
but crossing it over, that is where we've been struggling a little bit.
So I think just being more mentally prepared for that
and just making sure that our sleep is proper,
so that when it matters at the very end, we actually can perform
and have that pull that finishes it.
Sadly has not happened the last couple of times, but yeah, just there's no secret technique
You just got to do it at the end and hopefully the TV is ready for that
Quite a bit. I must say I do miss it
Now I will say if the game ever changes have let's try to know
But if we don't need to have 15 characters each and do a ton of splits
I may make a push
Come back into the fold, but until then it suddenly is just takes too much time and
Spending all that time to prep all the characters is not very efficient for my position
I'd rather do all the things that I said before and prepping and strategizing
but
In a separate universe where you could just play one character and still be competitive
Then that would free up a lot of time to do the rest of the things that I want to do
So I think it's crossed maybe in the future, but yeah, I do miss it a lot

I mean, I haven't been interested in more for a few expansions, but now with midnight
I'm like, okay, all right, well, let's go right here, south-ast feet.
What's going on here?
Maybe I'm a Lord guy after all.
I'll get looks like you could pull so far on a little tech as we are
Jack's went down. Okay, he's gonna
No, it should be fun should be fun. It's fine. Please tell me it's fine. No, it's okay. Oh
Okay
I might just go home a couple of days earlier.
Do you think you can try?
Yeah, you can unionize.
I'm very happy for a non-peaceful protest.
What about the riots and the old protest against the...
I'm used to riots.
Yeah, riots and riots.
Sorry.
I'm good.
He's so loud!
He's so loud!
He's so loud!
He's so loud!
He's so loud!
He's so loud!
He's so loud!
He's so loud!

I swear to God, if I win this competition
by 20 euros,
I will find you, Colonel.
Hahahahaha!
Hello?
Oh, maybe it's here.
Oh, there it is.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
You're not gonna get the name, too.
Unfair.
Unfair boss for wild players.
Okay.
This is not that kind of game.
Where are you going with this?
I'm not trying to aim.
Ah.
I was trying to shoot stuff across the map.
I go play Counter-Strike.
Well, maybe that's why you need this Crosshair Recoil that they've got,
which is taking up the entirety of this game.
I don't want a Crosshair Recoil.
I don't want to have to shoot stuff from across the game.
I didn't sign up for this.
You ever played Overwatch?
I did. You seem like a mercy man. I am a mercy man.
I am a mercy man.
Yes.
Things to him from sat and he said dot go, so.
Well, a different person, because I don't, I actually see the image that was applied to Gabriel's bunch, so I don't actually know what that was, because, hello, this is Dave, this is Diva is Rosie, Rosie would like to see JB Sissy.
I can give a small spoiler, I will be multi-boxing the
upcoming mutic raids, yes.
Hi, good morning.
Here to report the crime.
An international war crime.
There is a lovely bear who's flying up into the air.
Oh, see.
And Hymen Zewa are going to connect.
Check out this massive betrayal.
Charge, see you later.
Bye-bye.
There you go.
Into the abyss.
Nowhere.
How can this happen to me I'm made by the state
Anonymous 500 dollars
Wow, thank you so much
That's insane and guess
No, no, what are you doing?
Let's go
You can't do that
Nice
Hey guys, what's up?
Yes
That's worse I want to see that as well
Okay, so we now have the results and
Much like a mori povich show we will find out who big dog
Let's be serious for a moment this
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Let's slow it down.
Can I predict? God.
Do we shadow step behind the boss?
We'll find out in just a few short moments here.
Going back to full speed and gotta get to that ad.
He slowed. He may as well get the kick.
But you're still shadow step.
In the goo.
Look for kicks.
Watch the waves.
Look for kicks, guys. No missing.
You need to soak three or three.
And then look for kicks
About to take the world first for the first time here it comes
Just about the end they have done it Vexel it's brass have been defanged world first goes to echo
Let's go
A world first for echo taking down six of eight very nice. Oh
Oh, talk with me.
Ah!
Thank you.
Call that one.
Ah!
Woo!
And we're going to go to a short break as we work out
what we're going to do on the Casting Couch, which
is a slightly suggestive name, but I think
it's been a slightly suggestive stream.
So we'll be back in a couple.
An echo?
All right, first place.
Let's go, big dog!
Who picked up? Who picked up?
Hi, I'm Sam. I'm the creative director and head of production at Akron.
I joined ECHO back in the Sylvanas tier. That was my first race to the world first and I have been running the production division.
So I used to work for a more business oriented production company.
They used to do things for like Microsoft, JCB, Aston Martin at university.
And then when COVID hit, that entire industry went to pieces.
and unfortunately there was nothing that could be done there and I got made redubbed and right
that time Echo put a post up on putter looking for somebody to help with the race to our first
and it had been a passion of something that I always wanted to do and I applied for a laugh
thinking that I'd never get it and uh there I am five years later uh yeah uh so Day in Life of
production is uh really similar to a radar realistically we are up a little bit before
for them, not a massive amount of time,
so that we're here to prepare for when they're on site.
We have to play.
We work around the same schedule, but they do obviously,
because we want to show it to be live when they're playing.
And we do our best to follow them and tell the story
through the day.
So showing all of the polls, making sure
that we're sort of filling the gaps when they're having
meetings and strategy discussions.
And it's just about sort of like reacting with the cast
team and making sure that you guys have an entertaining show too much.
Definitely the sort of brass roots feeling that the Race to War first
production still has like it still feels to this day even though the scale of it
has become so large that we are a community run production and what you
guys want and what we want is the same thing and it's to have fun show called
the world called Rayboss is dying, and if that can be of that W, which hopefully this
time we get. Juggling the needs of all of the sponsor
stuff, you know, there's a lot of people that come in and really graciously sponsor these
events and we just have to make sure that everybody's happy and everybody feels like
the promotion that we've done is sort of like good for their brand and fitting the
tones of lots of different brands all the time is a constant struggle that us and the
team at Echo worked really, really hard on.
Oh man, massively so.
We started in erupts in Switzerland with two screens,
three stream decks, and two guys.
And now we are in like a massive studio with like multiple,
like multi-views and giant audio racks and equipment
that's all ours instead of all rented.
Like Echo, over time we have just built our own event
infrastructure where almost all of the technology you see
is owned and operated and set up by us, the team.
So it's gone from two guys renting a load of stuff
in a bar in Switzerland, though we love the Europe team.
They are heroes to this.
And I still can't believe it every day.
Yeah, we feel that one person can
to do all of the tasks, so there's only able one operator
sat running the stream.
There's three of us that are on site operating pretty much
every event.
So myself, Kylauren and Pinky, who
does our highlight videos, is here for the first time
this event.
It kind of gives you that commands and a feel
where one person can make sure that everything runs really,
really smoothly.
And the art casting team's so good that all we have to do
kind of like leave room for them to shine and like give them opportunities to do like great work.
So it's a it's a pleasure. I would say if you wanted to get into sort of like live production
go to your local theatres volunteer. There are places where you can get really hands-on with
cameras and stuff if you're willing to sort of like put some time in like working like and look
look for those opportunities and also like run your own tournament for your
friends you know like if you play guys play wow run a your own little mini MBI
between your guild and things about put it on Twitch or put it on YouTube
privately in practice there are so many guides and so many tools out there to
sort of like learn to do what we do the biggest piece of advice is there's a
piece of software called bit focus companion that is how everything works
it's the skeleton that connects everything the nervous system between
Sorry, which is just connecting stream decks to stream decks and you can use them virtually and you can learn how to set up audio control
Don't be afraid to start. It's probably the biggest piece of advice do your own things help out in local community stuff
and

Okay, I'll do it.
Okay, I'll do it.
They're getting fucking boosted!
This is what this bloods does for people, okay?
It makes you a little bit unstable.
Things aren't quite working up here anymore mentally.
We're good. Um, but yeah
Curse on you all only heroics
Into an actual product that everyone can use Kana's desk is rising because he's so excited
a pull is in place here five four three two one here we go
nithic is zoltran the altar has been pulled and here it is ladies and gentlemen so the
big okay so uh excellent call from far far almost immediately
My eye doesn't reach if I don't go further than that.

I just want to scream life goes on I'm faded away how could this happen to me
Ranged, ranged, targeting.
You know I went multiple tiers without hearing like, I think two or three people, like their
voice, I don't know what they sound like.
Yeah, exactly.
Like two tiers, I've never heard this person speak.
I have read this for like many years with Revers and he said like five words.
And most of the time it was him arguing, it's like Revers, did you pop Rally and it'd
be like, I did not want to.
you get you had I have references the only person that I have heard is like
reference really reference really and reference like no
literally the only person that's as quite refuse a raid to cool down right
we just take it like you do not argue with the sir the sir argues with you
only teeth my art you can just do this thing oh it just sort of did I just did
that just part it just it just part right we got the lizard
Ballista did that.
That's what I'm about to tell you.
I think Alex used to read it in a mallop voice.
How do you even make a mallop voice?
I don't... I just...
but the good books at the start let's get consistent
you want skull?
base pond inside
that was fuck this game fucking sucks
but Lizzie did it
hello it's me
oh i'm a snake
i'm so slithery
i'm sneaky because i'm a snake
look into my eyes
I'm a slithery, high-pip-notice snake, and that's it!
Well, I'm sorry, everyone.
What can I do?
Guess what?
On Sylvana's, four boobies were being...
We were bringing four...
Wait.
Four rune-kills.
They're in silence. Never be clipped.
See, I'm a terrible person.
Okay. Popping the CDs here.
Pop that. Link is small.
Look, look, look!
I've just received a very, very horrible $10 donation.
Oh, what a shame you have to read it.
From Anonymous, who says,
I hope this donation makes time at hospital
for some kids at least slightly better
than the race to world experience
that Cana has had whilst Alex is casting.
I'm not horrible to game!
Got it!
Why am I horrible to... I've never been horrible to game.
I've witnessed Alex being so...
so mean to Kana. What I said, eh? You said that he is that. And it was really me.
Circle is arranged out there. Moon is meeting. Kick moon, kick moon, kick moon. I got it.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Tifa's serve one next.
My yuck!
What? My yuck?
That's so good!
Nice! I'm going to be doing so well.
A set amount of time.
Oh my goodness! What is this?
All right.
It's fragrant and perfect or taking so much damage with the heat of the...
everything they can to keep them alive as more...
You made my nest!
What happened there? No?
I was part of a special task force of very young looking cops who infiltrated high schools.
How do you do fellow kids what do you ever like it's noticed how the raiders all get up and the fear in their eyes
Yes, I make eye contact and say oh, yeah issue and then the level of fear on their face
I did this to Roger and Roger was like
I'm ready
Like Roger is okay. It's not really you and he was like well, thank you and then you run
Thank you, Tractor. Thank you.
And he was like, not that I would mind having an interview with you, it's just that I want to eat.
See, I like to strike fear into the ray desires whenever I sit down with Secret Lab.
Oh yeah. I mean, you want to send it, bro?
Yeah, send it, bro.
Yeah, fuck it.
Fuck it, boys. Send them.
Okay, okay.
Stop, stop, stop.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Okay, okay.
And reset reset reset.
So, so, so, stop stop stop stop.
So, so two, three, stop.
Stop.
And so forth.
There you go.
Yeah, that's the last one.
Yeah, this is very easy.
I thought that's how we fuck it right.
We boys.
I'm Scribe, I'm Echo's radio there as well as the Echo CEO.
My responsibilities of course, the public scene side is the short calling or whatever
it's supposed to be done, but the thing that's not getting as much streamed I guess, because
of new comms or private meetings is just a general planning of what we want to do.
When it is about strategies for bosses or setups for the bosses, what classes we play,
it can be maybe a software that we need to develop. It could be about loot. It's like
like generally everything, though I am trying to not become the person that's like assigned
to do the job, because that would mean I can't do anything else, even though sometimes I am
kind of forced to, because like a specific topic is like I'm already too deep that I
could hand it off to someone else.
I'm trying to delegate as much as possible, but yeah, it's like a general manager type
position of a company I guess. Oh yeah, back then I would delegate way less, so we didn't have a person like
Maris or for splits we didn't have stint, so I would kind of do everything and get like my hands dirty
and it was a lot more stressful I would say. Though now there is like instead of that I'm doing more
what a business side, especially like doing farm.
During progress, it is definitely more chill
compared to like three, four years ago
where I had a lot less sleep and it was just not good.
But me being like healthy is also good for my radiating.
So it's not like I'm working less and you know,
it's not good, it's good.
Yeah, so when I get the first information,
It's like we see the journal on PTR.
We'll just read everything by myself, first of all.
Then we discuss it within the officers
and see if we have like some initial strats.
Depends also what kind of boss it is, right?
Like the first boss, we don't really talk about too much.
Last boss, because there's no PTR test,
we will need to think a lot more on that.
It goes through iterations, right?
Like we try to find the room map
got data mined from somewhere, see what things could mean, we measured the room, how big are
things in relation to how big the room is, how much movement might be necessary, and start thinking
about what classes would be good for it, then we test it of course typically and then have a much
better idea. And after that, yeah, refining the strats, if there is something that we can like
practice in a way we would do that but oftentimes we know too little or it's not like a realistic
way to practice it. Depends, like on Ulitec for example it's, I mean we know there's gonna be
ads that we will cleave probably and there will be a damage amp phase, like there are very good
indication of things but and also sometimes you can data mine things that are also not in the journal
but it is also sometimes quite chaotic, it depends on the fight of it and sometimes it's a bit better
though for example on Jailer we had really good prep even though like we never said to test it
but it was exactly as we thought honestly and we kind of practiced that that's why we were really
good on Jailer it yeah overlap with our thoughts um so we will this is a lot of
time goes into this the class research and it things change very quickly you're
gonna be up to date like even just today as we're filming this a couple hours
ago they changed stuff on some items that were but they're also like a box in
the game and then they fixed the box which might mean might be a nerf or a
buff to a class but for example they fixed that the items were the item buffs from the very
most items on the last was were stacking in a weird way already stacking but yeah so basically
a lot of like in-depth research and because we're trying to I mean we had the 0.3% life on
the mentions you know like because we're playing to that level it's anything like a 2% buff to a
class 2% nerf to another one might suddenly mean yep we're no longer stacking this we're getting
something else in it can very quickly change so we're permanently like we're doing dps tests we
are figuring out what the current bugs are reporting them seeing if they are fixed if they're
fixed you're adjusting immediately and on top of that even if we do the best research we can
there are things there that will slip and we do the boss and suddenly we're realizing okay this is
not as we thought it was in theory especially on last bosses it's kind of a like full rng thing
what will be really good and suddenly you need to bring a class that you had not expected at all
so yeah you're constantly flexible doing research and I don't think very intentional there are
moments where I'm not calm but like I would say I'm a generally calm person I don't like
rage at things that much the one thing that tells me quite a lot is that people like intentionally
don't focus like they're just like me meing around or something too much maybe depending on the moment
obviously right that can make me angry though i think it's also at this age i don't get that
angry at easily having two kids you know it's it's fine i don't honestly the playing i don't even
think about it that much anymore I think I think I do miss it in a way although
this is also really fun but you know I can play things as well I don't I don't
even remember how it feels anymore honestly to play the race I would love
to do it don't get me wrong but it's okay like this is pretty cool as well

Faking it through phase 2 is hard, is its own victory in a way.
Even if people are dead, it is important.
Nice.
First kill I think coming.
Don't drop a green.
First kill I think.
You think so? I don't know.
No, it's no refreshing.
Come on guys, that's super good!
That's super good!
What's coming?
You can do P1 again without me, I'll meet myself.
No way!
Oh my gosh.
It's with you here!
Mike's actually here?
What?
That was a well-come-secret.
How the hell did they hide that?
Every time I race for a field race I cause a great fight rate.
It's probably 200 plus pulls, absolute torture for the people involved.
But I mean that's what we're here.
Like, it needs to really, like, really fuck you up.
Yeah.
It needs to give you nightmares.
Like, everyone ready to press.
I believe this is probably like, maybe 10 players.
Yeah.
At the same time.
Ooooooh!
Bye, gobs!
Execute the mages!
I don't know what to do with this.
What?
Stop following me, okay?
What are you talking about?
What the hell, Takeshi?
Takeshi's there!
So we held 200,000 kits and in return,
got a homeless bald guy on the couch.
I'm off a charry place, this is a joke.
Can we please be careful with the A-wee on the ball please?
JK missed you.
Okay, get ready to go do your jobs in two, one, go.
Right, because they also, I don't even know if people know, but they didn't do it enough, right?
Oh, it's alive!
Oh, shit, sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have said it.
Spoilers!
Oh, no!
I thought you guys...
But it was non-nerf.
I mean, it's a wildhead.
So you guys almost killed them with no nerf?
Yeah, I mean, in the Super Low Attempt, there was no nerf.
And it's still not nerfed.
They're not nerfing it.
They're gonna nerf it when you guys go to bed?
No, I mean, they said they're not nerfing it.
So, oh.
Why did they announce the nerf?
I mean, Alex came over here, gave us a big announcement.
Like, was he lying?
I mean, I assumed that the nerfing because we were about to kill it.
Okay.
But, I mean, I don't know what they're gonna do over night.
No, then we sleep.
No, I don't know.
So wait, so you think they announced the nerfs?
They got the broadcast up.
As they're going to press the send nerfs button,
they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, look at this.
No, no, stop 10%, don't press that button.
Get it, hey, hey, hey, get away from that.
I mean, maybe.
I don't know, but there's nothing, there's nothing.
Hey, you heard it, you heard it first.
Echo prevented them from nerfing.
They had such a good pull, they were in the middle
of pressing the nerf button, and then they're like,
nah, look at that, 3% pull, this is killable.
Don't forget those nerfs.
I'm just not there anymore guys, I just disappeared.
You know what we should do?
Let's climb quite that shit.
Ooh!
Reviscid.
Ooh!
What the fuck?
I'm just running junctions.
It's coming home.
I'm doing it a long way today.
Oh my goodness.
Whoa!
What are you doing?
Whoa!
It's coming home.
It's coming home.
It's coming home.
Ooh, it's coming home.
This is boss hitting hard or is it just learning the rhythm?
No, there's also many damage points per second.
If you do want to lock any other time, it's full free air.
I will lock that.
This is the most dangerous time in a healer's mind is when a DPS player gets hit by a mechanic
and realizes they can live if the healer heals them.
Because then the little hamster wheel starts turning in the head.
You can see a habit. It's the worst thing in the world of the healer when a DPS thinks a mechanical one shot them
And they play as if the mechanical one shot them and then one time they get hit by it and they live and you can
See the scheme forming in their mind. They're like, they're like, hold on
If I get hit by this you can heal me through it. No, I'm like, well, I mean
And they're like
we're squeezing to the right, squeeze into the right, take the leg and squeeze to the right
please guys, stop take it, stop take it, take behind you, oh yes, okay watch the
dodge now
look at the balls, right, right, left, go left, watch the tail man
Only Stote in the game out here that way
Ignore this guy, running out. Let's hack the left here, okay? We don't need to...
...need to put this guy in store
Okay, we put it in store
damage is not that important but you can see us all moving our way over unlike
Who big dog? Who big dog? Who big dog?
Yeah!
You big dog! You big dog!
It's been an absolute pleasure, of course, working with you as always, JB.
Is there any last words of wisdom that you want to give?
Maybe the players or maybe just the viewers at home.
Oh, let's see you.
Words of wisdom.
If you're going to start using hair loss products, it has to be before the hair's gone.
on yep for anybody that's anybody that's thinking about that you don't want to wait
for that kind of thing that's wise um sometimes that's enough yeah that's beautiful thank you
very much JB big dog we're gonna go out well that's worth it because I think that's the
right way of doing it yeah so thank you chat have a lovely day we'll be back right and early tomorrow
and with that
goodbye
the
Oh
The phone...
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Without its office command,
the restless scourge will become
even greater friends
to the world.
control must be maintained there must always be a lick game
You're lying for them, his ego, father!
Tyrion!
You hold a grim destiny in your hands, brother!
But it is not your own!
Gator!
But oh, that is high!
The dragon's flame...
...sealed my fate.
The world of the living could no longer comfort me.
Place the ground upon my head, Tyrion. Forevermore, I will be the jailer of the Gown.
No, old friend. I cannot. Do it, Tyrion!
F*** off!
I don't care!!
What is this?
That's bad!
Absolutely!
Alright, I think that deserves a nice little howl.
Should we do it together on three?
Alright, what are we doing on three?
A howl, a bark, a whoop.
Oh, whoop!
Are you ready? Alright, on three.
Alright, one, two, three!
Why are you doing this, but I want...
What?
You betrayed me!
What?
Are you serious?
What?
What?
Nooo!
What?
What was that?
Was that me?
So, I hope you watched all this and then...
Describe that. That was only the mythic splits.
I think, uh, didn't they get a list that did something like 400 plus boss kills?
boss kills. They did 380 normal mode boss kills. 380, 3 heroic boss kills. And this was
all within the first week. And in terms of mythic, we just worked out it was about 38
or something. So, you know, we're getting close to, yeah, nearly 800. Boss kills in
a week. Stop it. Get some help. Are we bucking?
I said I did one solo you did one solo and now we do one as a trio right Kana?
Huh? You do not go to the spice soloments existing where I live, okay?
Like people don't eat spicy food. Right. But I have then since then been you know
trying more stuff and I have gotten to talk to the spice and I like spice
because it hurts me and it takes away all the other pain.
That's a joke, so I am okay?
We're all good? Okay, no one needs to be sad.
I just like...
You want to talk about it?
Yeah, that's me.
You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.
Wow.
That's $20.
Catch up on the tele.
That sounds horrendous.
I am so sorry.
I have defended many things,
and I think a lot of good things are good.
Ketchup on the teller?
Whoops!
That's what I was saying.
Yes.
What was that?
That's hot chocolate.
When I hear Scrike, give me the O yes.
One more, one more, one more.
Oh yes.
Brrr.
You do not, you do not want to have that on your face.
I'm gonna move on.
I'm going to move on.
And the control is looking great.
No depth as of yet, but I hope I'm not jinxing that.
And in console, they glance.
Oh, I think that Cana did choose violence with that
cast, a curse, unlucky to echo.
I'm so sorry.
Shit.
Oh, Perfetto lives.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
One, first, phase three.
Even though it's going to be scouted, it's alive.
Come on.
Sit, boss.
Can you see the breeze?
Oh, hold on.
Hang on.
There we go.
That's the petrifying breath from the Vibro.
We're in phase three!
Let's go!
Show me a weakened face.
We're actually going outside today.
What?
Me and Joe.
Me and Joe, we have decided.
We'll find more people along.
But after the shift, we're going to take a scoot scoot.
Go to a lake, walk around it, look at the duckies a little bit,
absorb some CO2 because it hurts me,
and it takes away all the other fans.
So it's been an absolute pleasure man. It's been a pleasure to be hanging out with you guys over the last two weeks and
Unfortunately life being like this time. I wasn't able to say the whole duration, but assuming I'm coming back in the future
Then I would
If I'm coming back then it shouldn't be a problem again, but yeah life is like this time, but I'm sure you guys have a lovely time
I'll be watching a home along with you and probably pestering you guys as much as possible. Please do. Oh, yeah
That's all from me. That's all from mr. Mike. You guys be lovely to each other
It's been a fantastic day. We'll be back tomorrow. Well, these guys will be I'm gonna be on a plane
And we will see you tomorrow for some great. What come out everyone. Bye
Hello and good morning and welcome to the race to world first, baby!
It's reset almost!
Oh yes.
Oh!
Oh!
I have heard some things but yeah one day I will get a deal from Mike he never
I'm actually DMs me, it's really sad.
I'm not sure about it at all actually, I think you just hate me.
Do you think you're going to change your comp at some point?
Because I think you were like, you're giving Narko Palo, I believe?
Yeah, we've done two spits for Narko Palo.
And you don't know if you want to bring it from a healer, or from a DPSer, or from a tank.
Oh yeah, so you're saying that Paladin's out just here for a buff? Yeah.
I mean, a little bit.
Yeah, okay, I see.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Waze World first.
Echo broadcast.
I'm Cana and I'm joined by Trojan.
I choose you.
You shriek.
So anyway.
Was it super effective?
Yeah, I think it was super effective of getting people to run away from the street.
Let's go!
Wokage everybody, we are in Split 3.
And you're allowed to flame if you're already old.
Like we are already old.
I have only one question guys, have you seen below Nightwish's cap?
I almost confess Cruella and she's like I do not want to be the third wheel an interrupter
Dave and I handle being a fucking solo wheel like it's crazy
I did not make a 670!
No, but you were doing the 670!
I was juggling!
I made juggling existed before 670!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
I'll have to check, I'll have to check.
But, look at first.
The dumbest of the jokes!
No! The jokes!
The dumbest of all the jokes!
What?!
The jokes you're actually saying!
It's quite close in backshots. Fair enough.
Uh, and then you see...
What's the backstory, Colson?
What's the backstory?
HAHAHAHA!
Oh, yes!
Oh, no!
Oh, production!
HAHAHAHA!
Aww...
Yeah, but...
Nice, I got a question.
Do you sleep with a...
Darkness in these organs?
Maybe sleep with a guy, by the way.
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!
Yeah, most of it I watched at the door knocks tonight.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Echo have had it with these mother flipping snakes on this mother flipping raid.
Can they do it?
Oh, just for you trying to spread as the boss does get lower and lower,
unfortunately some of the gamers are going down that as we do have the venomous heart,
this is the final pump now for Echo.
Woah, they have done it.
Oh yes.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
They've run out of eggs, and I've run out of powder.
Oh dude!
Come here!
No!
He's been great meeting you.
I'm sorry I didn't get to spend more time with you.
Honestly, that's the only thing.
Didn't get to spend a lot of time on the couch.
Um, hopefully you guys enjoyed your time with me.
Hopefully you guys enjoyed watching.
Um, I must bid you all farewell.
And hopefully maybe we'll see you in the next race.
And good luck, Echo!
Yeah, thank you so much guys.
We're not alone, they're being...
...a very small break so we can say good-bye to you properly.
That makes sense.
Yeah, we'll be quick.
Yeah, it was really not much longer.
Yep.
Alright, we'll be back very quickly.
Where is that?
You're gonna fail, strangers.
Many try before you, but they won't make us stronger.
The shadow of a fall.
The Shadow of the Four.
Time to run and no strangers.
Soon you're gonna join the swords of them you'll fail to see.
Your existence rations!
Rise, Gulakit! Rise!
I suffer! I burn! Now Gulakit will rise again!
I'm sorry, I'm echo's regular as well as their co-CEO, my responsibility is of course, the probably seen side is the short-calling,
calling whatever is supposed to be done. But the thing that's not getting as much
streamed I guess, because we often mute the columns or in private meetings, is just the
general planning of what we want to do when it is about strategies for bosses or setups for the
bosses, what classes we play, it can be maybe a software that we need to develop, it could
be about loot, it's like generally everything, though I am trying to not become the person
that's like assigned to do the job, because that would mean I can't do anything else,
even though sometimes I am kind of forced to, because I like a specific topic is like
I'm already too deep that I could hand it off to someone else.
Um, try to delegate as much as possible, but yeah, it's like a general manager type
of position of a company, I guess.
Oh yeah.
Back then I would delegate way less.
Uh, so we didn't have a person like Maris or for splits.
We didn't have stint, so I would kind of do everything, uh, and get like my
hands dirty and it was a lot more stressful, I would say.
Though now there is like instead of that I'm doing more the business side
Especially like during farm
Here in progress it is definitely more chill
Compared to like three four years ago where I had a lot less sleep and it was just not good
But but me being like healthy is also good for my rate leading
So it's not like I'm working less and you know, it's not good. It's good
Yeah, so when I get the first information, it's like, you see the journal on PTR, we'll just read everything by myself, first of all, then we discuss it within the officers, and see if we have like some initial strats.
It depends also what kind of boss it is, right, like the first boss, we don't really talk about too much.
Last boss, because there's no PTR test, we will need to think a lot more on that.
it goes through iterations, right? Like we try to find the room map that got
data mined from somewhere, see what things could mean, we measure the room,
how big are things in relation to how big the room is, how much movement might be
necessary and start thinking about what classes would be good for it, then we
test it of course typically and then have a much better idea and after that
Yeah, refining the strat, if there is something that we can like, practice in a way, we would do that, but often times we know too little or there is not like a realistic way to practice it.
Depends, like on Ullatech for example, it's, I mean, we know there's going to be ads that we will cleave, probably, and there will be a damage amp phase.
There are very good indications of things, and also sometimes you can data mine things that are also not in the journal, but it is also sometimes quite chaotic, but it depends on the fight of it, and sometimes it's a bit better though.
For example, on Jailer, we had really good prep, even though we never tested it, but it was exactly as we thought, honestly, and we kind of practiced that.
That's why we were really good on Jailer, it overlapped with our thoughts.
So this is a lot of time goes into this, the class research, and things change very quickly.
You gotta be up to date, like even just today as we're filming this a couple hours ago, they changed stuff on some items that were...
But there are also like bugs in the game, and then they fixed the bugs, which might mean, might be a nerve or a buff to a class.
But for example, they fixed that items were...
The item buffs from the very first items on the last ones were stacking in a weird way.
Not really stacking, but yeah.
So, basically, there's a lot of in-depth research and because we're trying to get the 0.3% vibe from the minces,
you know, like, yeah, because we're playing to that level, it's anything like a 2% Bufter class, 2% Nerf to another one,
might suddenly mean, yeah, we're no longer stacking this, we're getting something else in.
It can very quickly change. So, we're permanently, like, we're doing BPS tests, we're figuring out what the current bugs are,
reporting them, seeing if they're fixed, if they're fixed or adjusting immediately.
And on top of that, even if we do the best research we can, there are things there
that will slip, and we do the boss, and suddenly we're realizing, okay, this is not
as we thought it was in theory, especially on last bosses. It's kind of like full
RNG thing, what will be really good, and suddenly you need to bring a class that
you had not expected at all. So yeah, you're constantly flexible, doing
I don't think very intentional. There are women who are not calm, but I would say I'm a generally
calm person. I don't rage a thing that much. The one thing that tells me quite a lot is people
intentionally don't focus. They're just meaning around or something too much,
maybe depending on the moment, obviously, right? That can make me angry. I think it's also at this age,
I don't get that angry at easily having two kids, you know, it's fine.
I don't honestly, the playing, I don't even think about it that much anymore.
I think I do miss it in a way, although this is also really fun.
But, you know, I can play things as well.
I don't even remember how it feels anymore, honestly, to play the race.
I would love to do it, don't get me wrong, but it's okay.
Like, this is pretty cool as well.

So great question from Alex earlier. Do male animals lay eggs? Let's have a look at the screen.
As you can see, very high quality presentation. Do male animals lay eggs? Second slide.
No!
No!
Male seagulls do carry eggs!
I always think about it.
It's a tedious playstyle and I don't want to do it in Raid.
So I am hoping that RestorGrid remains unbuffed in both Raid and Mythic Plus because it's the same tedium that exists in Mythic Plus.
Uh, I hope it stays mediocre, you know, good enough that like, if you're rest of your main, you don't get bullied for playing it, but not good enough that anybody wants to bring it to a reasonable price, because I don't want to play it this year.
I'm sorry if I yield, okay? It's just... How much more betrayal can I take?
I mean, you can really launch on these?
Ha ha ha ha! This is exactly how you have to sit.
I will hand it back over to the uh, the confidence.
Thank you, man, professionalism is a lie.
Professionalism? This is what I think.
It's in a lot of ways like NASCAR, where it's a bunch of
laps and if everything goes correct in a NASCAR race,
it is, I think, by most accounts, relatively boring.
Right. The cars are just...
You drive that circle forever.
for destination Alex I would like to hold your hand three dollars from Ross help fire
us with a bull check thank you very much
thank you very much for your actions at this point yeah we can talk about how
I said up for lunch
There'll be people that'll ask in in stream occasionally like how do you deal with people getting mad at you?
When they die, yeah, like I feel so bad and it's like the trick is those are people
Like you just have to pretend like this playing you within PCs
oh my god there's not there's not a person with feelings on the other end of
that character that's just a that's just a computer guy running around if they
die who cares what is he taking a roast what how about 22 is that how many you
need that's how he sees himself wiping your 20 this is the face of a man who's
involved in the whole bike this is this is quite literally tax evasion
I don't want to
It's a taxi, but I just won't be running back
I don't want to get hit, I just want to get hit with a heart
Yeah, maybe
I
If you got anything that could be worn you had to wear it on your head
But just immediate that was like if you got a crystal present that could be worn
It's immediately on your head aren't socks like the standard go to yeah, but they go on your ears
Yes, and the thing else of it that I can use to hide my baldness. Yeah, here you are. Oh, yeah
Can't put the bag thank you
Look at the mirror
Don't hit the boss guys we're gonna get knocked afk
We're gonna get knocked soon go to the middle edge to the middle knock back in two one knock
He was not stopping hitting but I will actually find you
Okay, I'm sorry, it's just Alex was talking about how he's kicked from a split and then credit just
I wasn't laughing at all!
I was a kick!
No idea it was a kick!
I just wasn't invited to progress further, that's all.
I'm not washed up!
Firebrass on all the... all the Molochs!
New Molochs! New Molochs Medic!
Get them!
Best Moloch noise!
I've heard some other guilds are planning on going in mythical Monday or something
We're not doing that. We're trying to get there like maybe even tomorrow
He's actually doing crit time as well.
Can you just jump off?
Okay, I just received a great donation.
Thank you for everyone who has been donating.
$25 coming in from Grenjal.
Just now he says,
willing to donate £100 for every medic death this split.
Oh, no.
What do you think might happen?
£100 for every death.
Kids don't deserve the money.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Hi, I'm Julio.
I'm the chef here at Oscar Gaming.
And I'll serve for Ecker when they come over.
Okay, so my first race to world first was September 2024 and I've sort of been in esports catering
since 2021.
I was kind of an accident.
It was when the pandemic happened and I was working in a bar and I'd lost my job and I
was scrolling indeed and I came across an advert that said cooking for athletes and I screen
shot it and sent it to a friend thinking was it maybe the Kerna high which is the local
hockey team here and we debated we had no idea and I just sent off an application anyway
and then I got a call back and that was kind of it. Yes. I walked into the room there was
all these PC's decked out and I was like what what are these athletes oh I guess
I want to say organizations these sports are so crazy and like leading up to
this event I didn't know how long some of the SK boot camps were gonna last for
if they would stay indefinitely or leave suddenly and then trying to plan
feed around that and numbers and things like this it's I just always got a
remain flexible and easygoing. Yeah, I mean I try to also cater to all different like
cuisines. I sometimes get the players to put in requests and just try to keep
people happy, have a good rapport with them and learn from them as much as they
learned from me, I guess. Yeah, it becomes a challenge at times, but it's, I enjoy doing it.
I enjoy food as anyone does, I guess, and catering to the specific people is something that I genuinely
enjoy doing. I think it's the potato gratin and the seared chicken with like a salad or
a roasted bread side depends on the weather. Yes, but it's not like, it's more about textures, like
but I hear quite often no one really likes risotto or people don't mind risotto
but yeah that would be the number one thing I should be so
I do it is a crazy time it's a lot of stress but it's um it's chaotic I'm ready for the chaos
and I genuinely enjoy all the people and everyone so it's a good time for me too

So having a bad joke is actually what the hell is going on.
This is like, oh stop it!
I love you production, this is amazing!
They're climbing the walls! Oh no, they're beating the walls!
Oh, they're going to be nice to touch the beans! They're going to be in the soup!
After this phase two, they're going to be dirty! They're going to be swimming in the beans!
I'm going to help her and I'm missing a one-year-old doctor, Dr. Tepega and Nako.
That's made in heaven.
Sorry, sorry, Nako, sorry. Okay.
Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture.
They're the same picture.
You can get people with that. It's not Mississippi.
In my ass for something.
Is that B.P.?
Got him.
Can you spell I-cup?
I see you.
He sees B.P.
I had no idea where that was going.
We won't be crossing swords unfortunately on this broadcast.
But!
If we see in this way, we gotta get some.
Oh my god, you're so fucking stupid, 15.
Are we supposed to move again?
Follow the dogs.
So, we just heard us from an unplugged bridge.
Okay.
I'm so sorry, Mike.
Guys, tell Scrape I'm sorry for slapping Roger.
Please let me back in.
I have my wife and kids and I need to get away from them.
I'm making you.
I have the shittest grudge problem.
I'm not going to take it like it's lost.
I should know you weren't in the loop of my phone. You touched everything.
I was in the loop of Malcolm, but two tears in a row, so I had a break this time.
This machine goes on fire.
I don't think so, good, I don't think so, but how much can we trust you dude, uh, based
So here's the snake head.
That's the snake head, and I'm doing a little bit of red.
That's the sound, and then this is where it's neck is.
That's nice, you connect to the head. I see how it is.
Alright, alright.
This one's been a bit mad.
And then there's this little shoulder.
Get rid of it! Get rid of what we've done!
Oh
We did have the six seven donation
Strider that means you've unlocked box
I'm going left and still watching the tail shots and the ones from the back after as
well.
And you need to get into the soaps after as well.
Watch the back shot, back ones and 456, shout out, 456 soaking.
Alright, you're allowed my blessing.
Grangile, thank you so much for your donation, you're incredibly kind.
Very generous of you.
I want to stress, none of us are making Kuella do this.
That is entirely by choice.
I'm a melee with a big circle.
Watch feet now, feet, watch your feet, feet, feet, feet, feet.
ritual I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna suck it like a dog would oh okay we go
oh they're backwards song the noise the noise is good yeah it's a very wet
But dogs get wet, when they drink as well.
It's true. I'm just gonna hold this here for a little bit.
We don't have a tissue around, so...
Er, no. Good luck.
No.
F*** it, please.
I don't know, it's...
The final boss with the venomous abyss is coming in 12.1 and in this boss it's going to be really hard because there's an exposed heart that you have to destroy.
There's a lot of damage to it, so hopefully Dindi can get the power of infusion and do lots of true shots that all have marksmen and aim shots at the heart.
It would be really powerful if hopefully a cockro can win this time because they haven't had a very good time recently
So hopefully they get world first and he does some good damage and doesn't kill everyone or something
Thank you
Oh, that's hot that's hot
What do you call an elephant in the North Pole?
I don't know.

Hello, I'm Merus.
I'm a tankman, a deco.
I often move the bosses around and do things.
an officer doing a lot of the good management and organization scheduling
around the outside of the race most of time as well for the good in general.
Prep in terms of like tanking everything is completely different from like the
officer role so it's two different things one of them is like tanking obviously
the class choices and how the bosses play so you need to kind of imagine how the
bosses play before we get to see them to see what class you want to pick for the
actually testing and also learn and investigate which classes are good than bad of course.
So the normal class research like every other role I would say is where.
And then the officer role is obviously very different because it's more about like prepping
the strats and the overall picture of everyone in the guild who plays what class role, who
covers what rate bar for all it's and what combinations of bosses are possible and obviously
all the strat forming that happens often like as a team and then also more like in
I'm not so involved anymore because I'm obviously able to play.
I'm the one reaching out to players, if it's not a healer.
If it's not a healer, I'm reaching out to new tries and speak with them
and get them the initial interview before they get to the officer team
and then we speak with them.
But also generally just looking at the roster, who could be improving
or who needs feedback, also in general I love feedback.
Collecting feedback is very big for us, like getting the players' opinion
Opinion on basically any topic after the tier is very important so we can improve for the next tier
Also improve their situation of death or personal problem or whatever right?
So all of that kind of falls under the that department I guess
I mean that depends I guess
If I do the boss is very difficult like I would say for example Bellarenne and Lura
We're both really really difficult tank fights and well most of time I help out like raid leading or
or doing other things on the side,
but both poses were very difficult
and I couldn't really do it too well, sadly.
That is one of the things, obviously balancing the in-between
on both of those roles is very important.
And then the other thing is obviously like staying alive
and picking the right tanking job
to do the best you can to support the team
or blast the most damage depending on what role
I guess you take in the fight.
I mean, I think back then I was a joint,
it appears a lot more because I especially in dungeons,
I've recently started tanking dungeons right with the MDI.
Like coming around that I now played the tank,
I have been playing DPS for five years in tournaments
and whatever, and I do enjoy DPSing dungeons still,
I think more than tanking.
But for rating it's the reverse.
I think at this point I enjoy tanking rating more
than DPSing just because I think tanking
other rules and things going on.
And there's a lot of other cool challenges
that I make myself that I not necessarily have to do
with only playing my class correctly on the fight,
which makes it fun.
Oof.
No tank fights.
No, actually, I think what is very interesting about what
would make tank more interesting for me in rating
is that the tank mechanics are not as boring
and more incorporative in the whole situation,
like there can still be or torn after XYZ.
But you as a tank should be involved in all the mechanics,
just like I mean, I had to say it,
but Fran Flanders does this great,
where basically tanks still have to play all the mechanics
and move around and play all the other things
where oftentimes in the current game,
you just hit at the boss and you get a tank mechanic
and then you turn around and the whole team
has some crazy debuff situation going on
and you're like, yeah, I'm here, right?
So I think if they start implementing the tanks
more in the blade mechanic situation,
it would be very cool.
And for dungeons, I think they would need to get
a little bit of responsibility of the tank
because like 80% of the tank with dungeon responsibility
like routing or pulling and everything right is all on the tank and if something
fails that guy is getting like claimed and he's very sad and it's not a good
time and you probably defeat the key so overall that maybe just trying to lift
the weight of the tank a little bit might be the player but that's way harder to
balance than the weight segment in my opinion. Sign up to trade republic by

That is legally not allowed so we will that was a joke for comedic purposes
That was not a call for the broadcast and he will not be showing his feet
I'll show my feet for a thousand dollars
That could also be an efficient thing killing this guy quicker if they are not so good
That's what you need
I don't think we need to overthink it too much, I just don't buy many.
The mythic can happen at any time.
And so you're always on edge, you're always at this point, it's like...
Yeah, keep watching.
Maybe the Sutter name.
Yeah, keep watching.
But if not even keep watching, because I think we're quite entertaining, even when splits are happening.
Yeah.
The whole cast of the team has been very entertaining.
But as a caster, you're sitting there like...
It's a good bit.
I could see it. I could see mythic.
We could come from you know what and then bit by bit it just gets pushed back and pushed back and pushed back and then Roger
Comes onto the green screen. He's like it's time for me. They guys we're gonna go into mythic soon
We just need a couple way out, but it's just a little bit
Just a little bit of help, and then we're going to mythic soon!
Or have you got your mythic item?
I'll give you gold! I'll give you gold!
If you help us with your split, I'll give you money!
Yeah, I think that's what the problem is.
I think that's the general best question.
But I think I've worked together very well this whole time.
Hello, I'm Roger Brown and I'm co-CEO and head analyst or strategist for ECHO, I've
been doing it for many years and I've been playing World of Warcraft for, what is it
now 20 years or so. Before the race we prep a lot for its individual boss. I will say for myself
I put a lot of emphasis on the strategies that we're going to use, any add-ons or recores sadly
that are still in the game and try to use those to the best of our abilities and yeah just trying to
find wherever we can get an edge over the competition, that would be my main focus.
Yeah, when the raid starts, we have different times, let's say, where I need to allocate
my time differently. So at the start, I'll try to help us with the splits and raid leading,
but at the same time also checking if other guilds are pulling mythic bosses and trying to
Have that prepped as much as possible, see if there's any changes from what we tested on PTR compared to live.
And once we know the comp we want to run on its boss, make the assignments and be fully ready to pull the boss.
Over the years it's changed a lot, a lot.
So in the past, everyone was playing in the raid, including myself, believe it or not.
but slowly but steadily there's been a trend to have more people from the
outside supporting the team that is the inside. So I've myself I've stopped
rating basically for a couple of years following in the footsteps of Stripe and
the team on the outside has expanded to almost double digits right now and
yeah just a lot more preparation every time we just one up ourselves from the
last year. We build upon what we've learned, create more tools to support us,
and just streamline as much as possible the process. So it has changed quite a
lot over the years. Always trying to be more efficient and better. So I want to
have the least amount possible to do with splits. Not always doable, but I
I at least try to limit how much I get involved, so I'll definitely help with raid leading them on the Harder Bosses, if that is required, or make some of my famous video guides for the helpers, so they know what to expect when they join the group.
But I would not say that I do as much as others do in the team.
Sada to my boys Thins and Scribe of course.
And there's a lot, honestly the whole outside team gets involved, but if I had to give it
to one guy it would be Thins.
He puts the most effort.
Yeah, I think it's just that the performance on the last day, I think we just need to do
what we've done the last couple of years because I think we've proven that we can reach the
finish line but crossing it over that is where we've been struggling a little bit.
So I think just being more mentally prepared for that and just making sure that our sleep
is proper so that when it matters at the very end we actually can perform and have that
pull that finishes it which sadly has not happened the last couple of times but yeah just
there's no secret technique you just got to do it at the end and hopefully the team is ready for
that. Quite a bit I must say I do miss it. Now I will say if the game ever changes I have let
Scribe know that if we don't need to have 15 characters each and do a ton of splits I may make
a push to come back into the fold but until then it suddenly is just takes too much time
and spending all that time to prep all the characters is not very efficient for my position.
I'd rather do all the things that I said before and prepping and strategizing but
in a separate universe where you could just play one character and still be competitive
then that would free up a lot of time to do the rest of the things that I want to do so
I think it's crossed maybe in the future but yeah I do miss it a lot.

Do you think we can strike?
Yeah, you can unionize.
I'm very happy for a non-peaceful protest.
What about the riots and we all protested against them?
I'm used to riots.
Yeah, riots and red games.

This is not that kind of game.
Where are you going with this?
I'm not trying to aim.
Ahhhh.
If I was trying to shoot stuff across the map, I'd go play Counter-Strike.
Well, maybe that's why you need this crosshair reqora that they've got, which is taking
up the entirety of the screen.
No, I don't want a crosshair reqora.
I don't want to have to shoot stuff from across the game.

that one and we're gonna go to a short break as we work out what we're gonna do
On the casting couch, which is a slightly suggestive name, but I think it's been a slightly suggestive stream
So we'll be back in a couple an echo our first place. Let's go big dog
Hi, I'm Sam. I'm the creative director and head of production at Echo Leadsports. I joined
Echo back in the Sylvanas tier. That was my first race to well first and I have been
joining the production department. So I used to work for a more business oriented production
company. They used to do things for like Microsoft, JCB, Aston
Martin, our university. And then when COVID hit, that entire
industry went to pieces. Unfortunately, there was nothing
that could be done there. And I got made redundant. And right
that time, Echo put a post up on Twitter, looking for somebody
to help with the race towards first. And it had been a
passion of something that I always wanted to do. And I
applied for a laugh thinking that I'd never get it. And here I
I'm five years late. Yeah, so a day in life of production is really similar to a
radar realistically. We are up a little bit before them not massive amounts of
time so that we're here to prepare for when they're on site. We have to play
we work around the same schedule that they do obviously because we want to
show it to be live when they're playing and we do our best to follow
them and tell the story through the day. So like showing all of the polls, making
sure that we're sort of like filling the gaps when they're having meetings and
strategy discussions, and it's just about sort of like reacting with the
cast of team and making sure that you guys have an entertaining show to watch.
Definitely the sort of grassroots feeling that the Race to World First
production still has, like it still feels to this day, even though the scale of it
It has become so large that we are a community run production and what you guys want and
what we want is the same thing and it's to have fun, show cool world, cool Rayboss is
dying and for Echo to get that W, which hopefully this time we get it.
Juggling the needs of all of the sponsor stuff, you know, there's a lot of people that come
in and really graciously sponsor these events and we just have to make sure that everybody's
happy and everybody feels like the promotion that we've done is sort of
like good for their brand and fitting the tones of lots of different brands all
the time is a constant struggle that us and the team at Echo worked really
really hard on. Oh man, massively so. We started in erupt in Switzerland with two
screens, three stream decks and two guys and now we are in like a massive studio
with like multiple like multi-views and giant audio racks and equipment that's
all ours instead of all rented like echo as we over time we have just built out
our own it's been infrastructure where almost all of the technology you see is
owned and operated and set up by us the team so it's it's gone from two guys
rented a load of stuff in a bar and so it's then though as we love the
up to they are heroes at to this and it's yeah I still can't believe it
every day yeah we feel that one person can do all of the tasks that they
there's only ever one one operator sat running a stream there's three of us
that are on site operating pretty much every event so myself Kylauren and
Pinky who does our highlight videos is the head for the first time this event
it kind of gives you that command center feel where like you one person can
make sure that everything runs really really smoothly and our casting team
so good that's all like all we have to do is kind of like leave room for them to
shine and that give them opportunities to do like great work so it's a it's a
pleasure. I would say if you wanted to get into sort of like live production go
Go to your local theatres, volunteer.
There are places where you can get really hands-on with cameras and stuff if you're
willing to sort of like put some time in like working like and look for those opportunities
and also like run your own tournament for your friends, you know, like if you guys play
wow, run your own little mini MDI between your guild and things like that and put it
on Twitch or put it on YouTube privately and practice.
There are so many guides and so many tools out there to sort of like learn to do what
we do the biggest piece of advice is a piece of software called Bitfocus
companion that is how everything works it's the skeleton that connects
everything the nervous system if you will actually sorry which is just
connecting stream decks to stream decks and you can use them virtually and you
can learn how to set up audio control and all sorts of stuff but don't be afraid to
start it's probably the biggest piece of advice do your own things help out in
local community stuff and just keep talking to people.

You know I went multiple tiers without hearing, like, I think two or three people, like,
Yeah, I've like their voice, I don't know what they sound like.
Yeah, exactly.
Two tears.
I've never heard this person.
I have read it for like many years with Revers and he said like five words.
And most of the time I was him arguing, it's like Revers did you pop Raleigh for Raleigh and it'd be like, I did not want to.
You get ya.
Revers is the only person that I have heard that's like Revers Raleigh.
Revers Raleigh and Revers is like, no.
Literally the only person I've ever...
That scriper refused to use a raid cooldown.
Scribe would just take it like you did not argue with the sir.
The sir argues with you.
Right, the only key to my argue is to just...
Oh, it just... it just... it just... it just bugged.
Yeah, it just bugged, right?
It was a blizzard.
It was a blizzard, babe.
A blizzard, did it?
I think Alex needs to read it in a malloc voice how do you even make a malloc voice I don't I just

oh what a shame you have to read it from an analysis says I hope this donation
makes time at hospital for some kids at least slightly better than the race
world experience that Kana has had whilst Alex is casting. I'm not horrible to Kana!
Why am I horrible to Kana? I've witnessed Alex being so mean to Kana.
What have I said? You said that he is bad. And it was really mean.

I'm Skrype, I'm a co-host rate leader as well as their co-CEO.
My responsibilities of course the publicly seen side is the shop calling or calling whatever
But the thing that's not getting as much streamed, I guess, because we often mute comms or private meetings, is just the general planning of what we want to do.
When it is about strategies for bosses or setups for the bosses, what classes we play,
it can be maybe a software that we need to develop, it could be about loot.
It's like generally everything, though I am trying to not become the person that's like assigned to do the job,
because that would mean I can't do anything else, even though sometimes I am kind of forced to,
forced to because I like a specific topic is like I'm already too deep that I
could hand it off to someone else try to delegate as much as possible but yeah
it's like a general manager type of position of a company I guess oh yeah
back then I would delegate way less so we didn't have a person like Maris or
for splits we didn't have stint so I would kind of do everything and get like
my hands dirty and it was a lot more stressful I would say. Though now there
is like instead of that I'm doing more the business side especially like during
farm. During progress it is definitely more chill compared to like three or four
years ago where I had a lot less sleep and it was just not good but me being
like healthy is also good for my rate leading so it's not like I'm working less
and you know it's not good it's good yeah so when I get the first information
it's like we see the journal on PTR we'll just read everything by myself first of
all then we discuss it within the officers and see if we have like some
initial strats depends also what kind of boss it is right like the first boss we
don't really talk about too much last boss because there's no PTR test we will
need to think a lot more on that. It goes through iterations, right? Like we try to find the
room map that could be a mine from somewhere, see what things could mean. We measure the room,
how big are things in relation to how big the room is, how much room it might be necessary,
and start thinking what classes would be good for it. Then we test it, of course, typically,
and then have a much better idea, and after that, yeah, refining the strats, if there is something
that we can like, practice in a way, we would do that, but oftentimes, being out too little or
it's not a realistic way to practice it, depends. Like on Ulitec, for example, it's,
I mean, we know there's gonna be ads that we will cleave, probably, and there will be a damage
There are very good indications of things, and also sometimes you can data mine things
that are also not in the journal, but it is also sometimes quite chaotic, but it depends
on the fight of it.
And sometimes it's a bit better, though, for example, on Jailer, we had really good prep,
even though, like, we never said to test it, but it was exactly as we thought, honestly,
be kind of practiced that is why we were really good on jailer it yeah overlapped
with our thoughts so we will this is a lot of time goes into this the class
research and then things change very quickly you gotta be up to date like
even just today as we're filming this a couple hours ago they changed stuff on
some items that's there also like a box in the game and then they fix the box
which might mean might be a nerf or a buff to a class, but for example, they fixed that item
server, that item buffs from the very first items or the last ones were stacking in a weird way,
not really stacking, but yeah. So basically there's a lot of like in-depth research and because
we're trying to, I mean, get the .3% wipe from the misses, you know, like yeah, because we're playing
to that level. It's anything like a 2% bof to a class, 2% nerf to another one might
suddenly mean yet we're no longer stacking this, we're getting something else in. It can
very quickly change, so we're permanently like we're doing DPS tests, we are figuring out what
the current bugs are, reporting them, seeing if they are fixed, if they're fixed, we're adjusting
immediately. And on top of that, even if we do the best research we can, there are things there
that will slip and be you the boss and suddenly we're realizing okay this is not as we thought
it was in theory especially on last bosses it's kind of a like full rng thing what will be really
good and suddenly you need to bring a class that you had not expected at all so yeah you're constantly
flexible doing research and I don't think very intentional there were there are moments where
I'm not calm but like I would say I'm a generally calm person I don't like rage
things that much the one thing that tells me quite a lot is like people like
intentionally don't focus like they're just like memeing around or something
too much maybe depending on the moment obviously right that can make me angry
though I think it's also at this age I don't get that angry at easily having two
kids you know it's it's fine I don't honestly the playing I don't even think
about it that much anymore I think I think I do miss it in a way although this
is also really fun but you know I can play things as well I don't even I don't
even remember how it feels anymore honestly to play the race I would love
to do it don't get me wrong but it's okay like this is pretty cool as well

We're scum, trying to kill?
No way, we're scum.
You can do P1 again without me.
I'll beat myself.
No way!
It's with you here!
Mike's actually here?
What?
That was welcome. Secret!
How the hell did they hide that?
Every time a race prefer a red, I call it a red fight.
It's probably 200 plus pulls. Absolute torture for the people involved.
But I mean, that's what we're here for.
It needs to really like...
It needs to really fuck you up.
It needs to give you nightmares.
Everyone ready to press.
I believe this is probably like 10 players.
Ooh!

What stop following me, okay? What are you talking about?
What the hell to catch you?
So we held 200,000 kids and in return get a homeless bald guy

They were all for charry, but this is a joke.
Can we please be careful with the A-Wing on the ball, please?
JK missed you.
Okay, get ready to go do your jobs in two, one, go, go.
Right, because they also, I don't even know, but they didn't do the nerf, right?
Oh, what's up, buddy?
Oh, shit, sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have said it.
Spoilers is a buzzer.
Yeah, I thought you guys
It's a wild head
You guys almost killed it with no nerf
Yeah, I mean in the super low attempt there was no nerf
And it's still not nerf, they're not nerfing it
They're gonna nerf it when you guys get a bet
No, I mean they said they're not nerfing it
Oh, why did they announce the nerf?
Alex came over here, gave us a big announcement
Like, was he lying?
I mean, I assumed they didn't nerf it because we were about to kill it
Okay
But I mean, I don't know what they're gonna do overnight
Now that we sleep
you think they announced the nerves they got the they got the broadcast up as
they're going to press the like send their button they're like whoa whoa whoa
whoa look at this hey hey get away from that I don't know but they're
nothing you heard it here first Echo prevented them from
nerfing they had such a good pull they were in the middle of pressing the
nerf button and then they like nah look at that 3% pull this is killable don't
Hmm, forget those nerfs.
You have to hold it.
Look at this passing.
Oh my goodness.
I'm just not there anymore guys.
I'm just here.
You know what we should do?
Like the trick where I just disappear. I like do this and then I just disappear.
Okay, ready?
