[00:00:00] Nasty overlaps we talked about in the Blacklight Spotlight last night that Max is talking about the visuals on this fight, although they're amazing for us to see.
[00:00:06] Yeah.
[00:00:07] Sometimes they're a little difficult for the players to differentiate between.
[00:00:11] Light Siphon, the color of the Light Siphon almost matches perfectly with the stars themselves of the Dark Constellation, so sometimes it can be hard to see that when you're soaking the Light Siphon.
[00:00:21] Having the mark on your head, that mark covering over your head almost fully covers the Dark Constellation star if it spawns right on top of you.
[00:00:27] So they need to be aware and kind of just check their position,
[00:00:29] check the stars, be very, very aware of that.
[00:00:32] So maybe there's reminders for that going out.
[00:00:34] Maybe there's just some other back end stuff
[00:00:36] that they're optimizing as well.
[00:00:38] Yeah, it's fascinating to look at how much they script this encounter
[00:00:42] across the board, across every single phase really.
[00:00:45] Almost it feels like phase one can have a little bit of option
[00:00:49] for how you move because you don't know exactly the order
[00:00:51] the glaives are going to be in.
[00:00:52] But then you see so many different permutations
[00:00:55] of when I'm this marker and I have to stand at the top right.
[00:00:58] This can get more dangerous for me.
[00:01:00] If I'm standing in the middle, it actually gets a little bit
[00:01:02] safer.
[00:01:03] You have more room to maneuver.
[00:01:04] That alien was for sure.
[00:01:05] Yeah.
[00:01:07] That was going in.
[00:01:08] I was the last second.
[00:01:10] Count it.
[00:01:11] That's going in the dub column.
[00:01:13] Yes, sir.
[00:01:15] All right.
[00:01:15] Another poll here.
[00:01:17] I think that the amount of phase one wipes
[00:01:21] is going to be a critical variable in when this boss dies and whether it dies today.
[00:01:27] I know a lot of us are thinking, oh yeah, boss dies today, but looking at this boss fight,
[00:01:32] it only dies today with absolute perfection. We know these players are capable of it. They've
[00:01:38] done it on some of the hardest bosses in the past, but this one is another step up entirely in
[00:01:43] difficulty. Gotcha, Brown, getting the right order here. Glaive going through the boss can
[00:01:48] can be a little scary, but I think we found the right position here.
[00:01:52] They've really, like, of all the mechanics in the fight, obviously the Death Surge is
[00:01:56] the coolest mechanic, I guess it's the Dark Side of the Unmethic.
[00:01:59] It's iconic.
[00:02:00] It's so cool, but they've figured that out.
[00:02:02] I feel like very few of their wives are coming from that mechanic now.
[00:02:05] Yeah, the Phase 3 version is a little bit sketchier than the Phase 1 version for
[00:02:09] sure, but yeah, both the Phase 1 mechanics that are super lethal and, you know, difficult,
[00:02:14] right?
[00:02:15] the termination matrixes that we just saw there.
[00:02:18] They've been really solved by liquid.
[00:02:20] You know, those are, it's very rare that we see a wipe
[00:02:22] to have missed kick on the termination matrix
[00:02:24] despite the fact that you would need to land 15 interrupts
[00:02:27] in the span of like eight seconds to get rid of them
[00:02:29] as we do have a crystal that fails to die.
[00:02:32] That's another rare wipe.
[00:02:33] We don't see many of those either,
[00:02:35] but maybe the boss damage optimization
[00:02:37] is leading to a little bit less AOE
[00:02:39] being available for those midnight crystals.
[00:02:41] That's the sort of thing where once you realize like,
[00:02:43] Hey, we actually need every single point of damage
[00:02:46] throughout this whole fight.
[00:02:47] That can start to make various, you know,
[00:02:50] hey, just kill these adds, just kill them
[00:02:52] so we can see the fight.
[00:02:53] Well, no, you can't do that anymore.
[00:02:54] You need to be doing full boss damage
[00:02:55] and letting those adds get close to
[00:02:58] but not actually explode.
[00:03:00] And that's one thing that's really underrated
[00:03:01] or under discussed, I think,
[00:03:03] for people who are not as familiar
[00:03:04] with the race to world first.
[00:03:05] Usually you see adds and you say,
[00:03:06] okay, do whatever it takes to kill off the adds.
[00:03:08] We need to do it in order to progress the encounter.
[00:03:10] But as you go into the higher level guilds
[00:03:12] And especially the world first level, you need to have just the necessary damage to kill
[00:03:17] them off before the cast ends and making sure you're not wasting any potential single target
[00:03:22] damage in the process.
[00:03:23] Yeah, I mean, for instance, the big damage dealers to the crystals there that have already
[00:03:27] been hunters, both of them are playing short meta so that their void metamorphosis comes
[00:03:30] back up right before that set.
[00:03:33] They're getting two collapsing stars on them.
[00:03:34] They're getting two void rays on them.
[00:03:36] They're getting a few eradicates on them.
[00:03:38] But they're not targeting them a single time.
[00:03:41] They're targeting the boss.
[00:03:42] So if they hit that first collapsing star and one crystal's not gripped on top of the boss,
[00:03:45] that's not getting any of that cleave damage.
[00:03:47] And that can spell a wipe.
[00:03:50] So everyone really has to be right on top of every little global they're doing to make
[00:03:54] sure the efficiency of that set is done properly.
[00:03:57] I mean, that's also the set that's caused them the most problems in the past, the
[00:03:59] second set of crystals, because there's no cooldowns out there.
[00:04:01] It's literally just the demon hunters and like passivating it.
[00:04:04] That's why we swapped from the Blood Death Knight on like the 100 is so that we
[00:04:07] have a mass grip for that one that has fewer DPS cooldowns available.
[00:04:10] Even still it is not a hundred percent consistent. Although it is pretty close. I do want to highlight a point that Jack
[00:04:16] I think you made there of the difference between the race world first guilds and everybody else on this sort of thing as well
[00:04:22] The race world first guilds aren't going to be getting more gear
[00:04:25] Yeah before they kill this boss typically right most guilds in the world when you are first progressing a phase
[00:04:30] You have less gear than when you are going to kill the boss
[00:04:33] Liquid have been progging with basically the same eye level that they've been planning to get this kill all 450 of these
[00:04:37] these poles. So if you're in a regular guild, what you can do is be like, Hey, just
[00:04:41] over commit to this, you know, next week we'll have more gear. We can take stuff off
[00:04:44] of it and we'll make the DPS check and all will be happy. That is just not an
[00:04:48] option for Team Liquid. I mean, of course, there's the possibility that goes
[00:04:51] over the reset, but they are playing to kill it with the gear that they are
[00:04:54] wearing right now. Yeah, I hope we don't have to explore those sort of
[00:04:58] possibilities, but you're not wrong. Anything could happen. As the day
[00:05:02] does go on, we might have to start having the discussion of what a reset
[00:05:06] looks like for this race but for right now let's just focus on the task in
[00:05:10] front of us which was missing that kick and another phase one wipe here a few
[00:05:14] uncharacteristic phase one wipes we've had heavens glaive hitting a dawn crystal
[00:05:17] we've had a couple of these termination matrix kick failures and we've had a
[00:05:21] midnight crystal exploding so these are the sorts of things that they really
[00:05:24] need to clean up otherwise these hours are just gonna start disappearing it's
[00:05:27] funny on that note I had a very interesting morning today I woke up
[00:05:30] checked my phone yeah it's all the boss wasn't dead I was very happy and
[00:05:34] And then I looked at my notifications and my phone was like, would you like to turn on airplane
[00:05:37] mode?
[00:05:38] I'm like, what?
[00:05:39] My original flight was supposed to be at 10.30 this morning at 4.00.
[00:05:42] I'm like, oh yeah, that's right.
[00:05:44] I was supposed to leave today, but the boss didn't die, so I'm still here and happy to
[00:05:48] be here.
[00:05:49] Yeah, that's right.
[00:05:50] Love being here.
[00:05:52] I feel like this is the coolest way for our race to end as well, because, you
[00:05:56] know, I love every day of the race to world first equally, even the mythic splits
[00:06:00] days but I slightly prefer days like the last couple of days we've had of this
[00:06:06] breathtaking mythic progression both guilds working on this boss that's just
[00:06:10] so hard and somehow making the impossible happen bringing it down sub 10
[00:06:15] percent on our Alienware leaderboard which again you got to remember is
[00:06:17] showing total boss health kind of mathed out so don't get too baited by
[00:06:21] that it's the best pulls we had are echo 10 percent P4 liquid 45 percent P4
[00:06:28] But those then we have the Alienware leaderboard converting that using the power of math to total boss health number
[00:06:34] That needs to get dealt. Yeah, Brooklyn come on desk here. I forgot to ask her if
[00:06:39] She refreshed your curse on that. Oh, yeah, well
[00:06:42] A couple hours ago. We had a very strong curse right before we got on okay
[00:06:46] I haven't wiped around 10% with a really clean attempt to the enrage
[00:06:51] So that's the hard part is it wasn't a whole like so echoes 10% white
[00:06:55] It's not like a huge set of things went wrong, there were a couple of straight deaths, but
[00:07:01] they mostly made it to the enrage with most of the entire raid there, and then died, like
[00:07:07] there was a star that went off in the middle of the raid, but it was with 1.5 seconds left
[00:07:10] on the enrage cast, with 10% left on the boss' health, like, yeah, that's the part
[00:07:15] that's starting to worry me, is the damage check in the last phase was something that
[00:07:18] I had kind of assumed was going to be non-existent if you had everybody alive, and now
[00:07:24] Now it looks like it is not only existent, but it's maybe on par with these P1 and P3 damage checks that take so many pulls to optimize.
[00:07:32] And the thing is, even if it's maybe not as hard of a phase to optimize, every single phase 4 pull has required a perfect P1, 2, and 3 before it.
[00:07:40] That is why they are so rare, is because these other phases are still so hard, they're still impossible to get consistent with this level of gear and with this tuning on the boss encounter.
[00:07:50] This is just the epitome of a brutal race to world first boss with no easy phases, a 10 minute fight, with no breathing room in the entire fight.
[00:08:01] Yeah, and I think this is the one of the most exciting world first bosses we've ever had for that reason, especially coming off the back of a week where they killed the final boss of Voidsfire very quickly.
[00:08:12] And then it was let's go do Mythic splits to see what we have in store for us, just to be as prepared as we possibly can be.
[00:08:19] can do. Now we have simultaneous world first guilds pulling, getting into deep deep into each of the
[00:08:26] encounters and we even thought I was gonna die yesterday and we were wrong about that.
[00:08:32] Yeah I think one thing's for sure. Nearly hit the corner. I don't think people are gonna be talking
[00:08:39] about the four days of mythic splits when it comes to this race. I will be. Well you will be
[00:08:44] because you know it's in your interest to do that but I think the thing that people are
[00:08:47] I don't remember the space for most is going to be this boss. I think the thing that we'll all be talking about is the massive
[00:08:53] Echo favoritism of the heavens glaives nerf, you know if that nerf hadn't come in, it's going to be going over the reset for sure
[00:08:59] Which would have been a huge advantage for liquid
[00:09:02] But it's absolutely brutal there for us K-Vin
[00:09:06] Lip is not confused by your trolls at me right now. He's just leap-matching. I'm not gonna get rage baited
[00:09:13] I'm not gonna get rage baited
[00:09:17] Yeah. Someone get that man in M. Amen. Yeah. It's one micro sleep. Looks like we're having
[00:09:24] a quick little break here. People do, uh, we go to the restroom to drink. Yeah, wouldn't
[00:09:28] be surprised if somebody missed out on grabbing their monsters or something before we got
[00:09:32] started. Not me. Because I know I did. Yeah. I made a mistake. I have an 80% full M in
[00:09:39] my hotel mini fridge as well that I forgot that I had brought home last night. I should
[00:09:43] had on the walk over this morning but I realized half way to the facility that I'd forgotten
[00:09:48] it there. I had to get a fresh one this morning.
[00:09:50] I'll grab one when we get a little bit of a break.
[00:09:52] Yeah.
[00:09:53] What are you going to grab?
[00:09:54] I will get an Ultra Paradise.
[00:09:55] Ooh.
[00:09:56] Because those have been the, I think, titles put me onto them. It's kind of like a Kiwi
[00:10:00] line kind of set up. It's really nice.
[00:10:03] Okay.
[00:10:04] And I expected it to be like more fizzy.
[00:10:05] Way that I think the zero ultras are, but it's like not really at all. It's
[00:10:09] like a tiny hint of it. It's great. Big fan.
[00:10:12] now Raiders getting a quick break in. We've already seen some very deep pulls
[00:10:16] thus far to kind of start off our day. But as you know, many gamers are not the
[00:10:20] morning people and you kind of stayed up until like what two in the morning or
[00:10:23] something like that. I'm not a morning person had had a piece of party. Yeah. And
[00:10:27] then came in at 10 something like that. Yeah. No demons. I've been I've been on
[00:10:33] the morning shift from the past week. You know, I've been making your work.
[00:10:35] But let's just say when I get home, you'll not be catching me awake
[00:10:38] before noon. I'll be reverting to the the gamer hour schedule. I feel that I'm ready to sleep
[00:10:44] for you know two or three days straight until I kind of get all caught back up. It's gonna
[00:10:49] be nice. And the only thing I wake up for early on the weekends is if the old heads
[00:10:54] in my neighborhood want to go you know play some tennis or something at like 8 a.m.
[00:10:58] The old heads? But how old are they though? They're like in their 40s. Oh wow. That
[00:11:06] I was going to the old folks home to play.
[00:11:09] You guys know how it's like every guilt that rates more than us, they're like super tryhard
[00:11:13] sweaty and every good less than us.
[00:11:15] You know, there's a casual scrubs is the same with age, right?
[00:11:18] That's right.
[00:11:19] Yeah.
[00:11:20] I can't believe those people who are 40 or uncle and then they're all like mid 30s.
[00:11:23] I saw somebody who's like, Oh, all these casters are like early 20s, mid 20s, like
[00:11:27] they were babies when they first started rating.
[00:11:28] I was like, that's a really nice compliment.
[00:11:30] I'm glad they think so.
[00:11:32] But that's the call.
[00:11:33] We're like 33 32 I'm 31. Yeah me too. You're really old Zyro. Yeah
[00:11:40] What is hold is Reynolds? I'm 31. All right. Okay way. No way. Can you tell?
[00:11:47] In which direction? Well, I don't answer it don't answer don't answer me
[00:11:52] I mean, you know the vampire impression, you know, it was almost like the Dr. J
[00:11:55] I'm just like he just looks like forever young. Oh, thank you
[00:11:58] You know, from Zadam to the night, sleeps in a coffin, lives in the ancient castle.
[00:12:03] Because we don't even know where you live. I remember Kalamazie asked you, because you'd mentioned somewhere, you let it slip, you moved.
[00:12:09] Nothing but just Singapore.
[00:12:10] Yeah, yeah. And then Cal was like, oh yeah, like how's your new place?
[00:12:13] You're like, stop asking so many questions, man.
[00:12:15] Get a little personal there. Get a little parasocial there, Kalamazie.
[00:12:19] I'm trying to keep a professional in here.
[00:12:20] Yeah, yeah, come on.
[00:12:21] Work acquaintances, no? Workplace acquaintances.
[00:12:23] Casual, friendly acquaintances.
[00:12:25] Work colleagues.
[00:12:26] Exactly.
[00:12:27] Oh man, I missed what a production had just hit me up with.
[00:12:33] What's going on guys?
[00:12:34] In the meantime, I'll answer.
[00:12:35] Okay.
[00:12:36] They want to let us know about UNICEF.
[00:12:38] We can let you guys know as well, because we have all kinds of amazing donations, thanks
[00:12:42] to you all that have been building up towards more goals.
[00:12:47] At $25,000, we have a special video to be released, and we just recently, I think
[00:12:54] It was yesterday, the days are blurring together on me.
[00:12:57] Had the acoustic graphics package.
[00:12:59] Dude, that was really, really fun.
[00:13:01] We have some artists.
[00:13:02] Oh yeah, we do.
[00:13:04] This artist is actually, I would say.
[00:13:07] I want to take that picture home with me,
[00:13:08] what they had of us just kind of casting.
[00:13:10] But for $12, you can get your name
[00:13:12] under our special thanks in the credits.
[00:13:14] $30, you can submit your pet, your transmog,
[00:13:18] your in-game house.
[00:13:19] Some people have shown up their bookshelves,
[00:13:22] which is my personal favorite
[00:13:23] of all the books you're reading, all kinds of submissions.
[00:13:27] You could probably submit whatever you want for $30.
[00:13:29] We're pretty open to that, within reason.
[00:13:32] So you check it out at tl.gg slash donate.
[00:13:35] All the proceeds are of course contributing
[00:13:38] to our charity partner in UNICEF.
[00:13:41] And we're going to be checking out all your donations
[00:13:44] and thanking you all so much for making it all happen.
[00:13:48] We got a few seconds left on that break timer.
[00:13:51] I see, what is this, like, Atlas on FireDups POV,
[00:13:55] who is, like, sleeping next to a massive mouse?
[00:13:58] Did you see that alien where commercial they did?
[00:13:59] Yeah.
[00:14:00] Where they were all, like, flying with, like,
[00:14:01] the oversized mouse and keyboard?
[00:14:03] That's not the best picture to come from that photo shoot.
[00:14:05] The best one is Max hitting the keyboard.
[00:14:09] What is he, like, pushing down with both hands?
[00:14:12] He's, like, jump pushed the key.
[00:14:13] Oh, that's true.
[00:14:14] And, like, jumping up in the air, pushing down on the key.
[00:14:17] And that's a sticker in the liquid build discord now.
[00:14:19] Yeah.
[00:14:20] It's been there ever since that photo shoot.
[00:14:21] Oh, that's so good.
[00:14:23] I love it.
[00:14:24] All right, I see the Raiders getting back into their seats
[00:14:26] and everything right now.
[00:14:27] They're getting themselves ready.
[00:14:28] They wanted to get a little break.
[00:14:29] And I think this happens a lot, especially for a team
[00:14:33] like Liquid who has kept the same schedule for two weeks.
[00:14:36] And they probably have said it even further back
[00:14:38] than two weeks as well.
[00:14:39] I don't know if you think about leveling 20 characters
[00:14:42] at the start of the expansion.
[00:14:44] From, was it February 25th?
[00:14:47] Something like that when the expansion dropped
[00:14:48] for early access.
[00:14:50] They have been playing pretty much non-stop.
[00:14:52] They probably got the longest break that they had
[00:14:55] when they flew to the event.
[00:14:59] They've got to be draining,
[00:14:59] especially when they stay up really late for the first time.
[00:15:03] Skips lunch, kind of had a short lunch,
[00:15:07] had a short dinner break.
[00:15:09] Now they're staying up late,
[00:15:10] now they're getting up at a different time.
[00:15:11] It's kind of just waking themselves up.
[00:15:13] I kind of feel that way.
[00:15:14] Yeah, I mean, optimizing that schedule
[00:15:16] when that runs into then wanting to stay up later,
[00:15:21] you know, that clash and resolving it
[00:15:22] in the most harmonious way possible
[00:15:25] is something that they actually do think quite a bit about.
[00:15:27] There have been some races in the past
[00:15:29] where we didn't, right?
[00:15:30] Yeah, where you sort of just blast, you know, the raid
[00:15:33] and then a couple of people are really tired
[00:15:36] and they're sort of complaining a little bit
[00:15:38] and then you go to bed
[00:15:38] and like everybody's now kind of desynced
[00:15:40] on their schedules a little bit
[00:15:41] and some people have already been up for a few hours
[00:15:43] And now you're not lining up your window of wakefulness
[00:15:47] across all your Raiders equally.
[00:15:49] So they've been much more disciplined the past few tiers
[00:15:52] now here at Team Liquid, you know,
[00:15:53] with basically some sports science, right?
[00:15:55] Some sports medicine even like planning out
[00:15:58] how you want to schedule these sleeps.
[00:16:01] And I wonder what kind of analytics they might be using.
[00:16:03] They probably won't tell us behind the scenes,
[00:16:05] but understanding when they're getting
[00:16:07] their best pulls of every day,
[00:16:09] when they're getting their boss kills every day,
[00:16:12] And when they're also just having sort of like a slump period.
[00:16:15] And how to deal with that.
[00:16:16] And that's probably where the break is coming in too, I'd imagine.
[00:16:18] Yeah.
[00:16:19] I mean, they probably had a break for a couple of different reasons.
[00:16:21] Let people go to the restroom, like I said, get some drinks, get ready, wake up a little
[00:16:24] bit, walk around.
[00:16:25] But probably also discussing strategies, re-going over the things that are causing
[00:16:28] them issues.
[00:16:29] Locking in.
[00:16:30] We'll see them pulling just a moment here.
[00:16:32] Looks like everyone's kind of back at their desks now.
[00:16:35] You know, I see someone in chat trying to reason with production.
[00:16:38] Talking about the acoustic graphics package.
[00:16:40] You really can't reason with them when a car is in the shadows.
[00:16:43] You know when they drive home at night, they don't drive home in the car, they don't drive
[00:16:46] home in the van, you know what they drive home in?
[00:16:48] Scooters?
[00:16:49] The Mobile.
[00:16:50] The Mobile.
[00:16:51] The Mobile.
[00:16:52] It's the Mobile.
[00:16:53] Wow.
[00:16:54] Yeah.
[00:16:55] You can't.
[00:16:56] The Clown Mobile?
[00:16:57] No, it's just the Mobile.
[00:16:58] Hmm.
[00:16:59] Is that Kai's skateboard?
[00:17:00] Do you see his liquid skateboard?
[00:17:01] No, I didn't.
[00:17:02] Oh, it's like covered in the liquid, the stickers from Blue, the mascot.
[00:17:08] Speaking of which, oh my gosh.
[00:17:09] I can't believe Liquid didn't do this.
[00:17:10] Why didn't they get blue?
[00:17:12] Their mascot dressed up like the Easter Bunny yesterday.
[00:17:14] Oh, that was good.
[00:17:15] Yeah.
[00:17:16] Oh, hey, look at this.
[00:17:17] There it is.
[00:17:18] Colin Avatar has fallen once more.
[00:17:21] 456 polls for Lura makes it the fourth most pulled boss
[00:17:26] overtaking the fallen Avatar of Sargeras back in Legion,
[00:17:31] back in the Tomb of Sargeras.
[00:17:32] Not even the last boss of that race.
[00:17:34] Yeah.
[00:17:35] That was the second to last boss of that raid.
[00:17:38] That was a great boss.
[00:17:39] Absolute disaster of difficulty.
[00:17:42] And it also did fall through the floor.
[00:17:44] It did.
[00:17:44] Yeah.
[00:17:45] The phase one to phase two transition
[00:17:47] was the boss breaking the floor that you were standing on
[00:17:50] and you all falling together onto this little pit of lava.
[00:17:54] Oh, oh, oh, oh, come on.
[00:17:57] Oh, my gosh, it was so close.
[00:17:58] Nearly in the corner there.
[00:17:59] Oh, my gosh, that alien almost made it.
[00:18:02] Yeah, I saw somebody in chat asking
[00:18:03] how Unot had gotten so many pulls.
[00:18:06] It's a combination of factors, like nuclear difficulty boss.
[00:18:09] It was a bit of a weird release timing as well.
[00:18:12] You know, neither at the time method nor limit
[00:18:14] could really commit to fully raiding it.
[00:18:17] Pieces did and they were playing it a lot
[00:18:19] but it was like not being played
[00:18:20] like a regular race to world first in that way.
[00:18:23] And so there was like, it was left in a really hard state
[00:18:26] without a nerf for quite a long time.
[00:18:29] Then it did end up finally catching.
[00:18:30] Oh my god! Oh my god! We got it! It did it! It was on stream!
[00:18:36] Incredible! That was a corner! That was a corner! 100% pick!
[00:18:40] That was a corner! That was a corner!
[00:18:43] Imagine if you had some of the second monitor and you hear that and you think we just killed the boss.
[00:18:47] Yeah! No, no, no, no! The screensaver.
[00:18:50] The alien and the top right guys. The alien bounced directly into the corner.
[00:18:53] Can we get a replay? Can we get a replay?
[00:18:55] Action, we gotta get that back. Absolutely. We gotta get that back.
[00:18:58] That was the world first for sure. This is the day. This is it. That is what we needed. Oh my god
[00:19:04] It's happening again. No way. No way. No way. No way
[00:19:10] All right, I think you can only do it it can't it wouldn't do it multiple times in a row right because like it's
[00:19:16] It's desyncing each time. Otherwise, it was that was that was a one in a million
[00:19:20] You are never gonna see that happen. Yeah, that's a it's like a
[00:19:23] An eclipse, right? It's like you know next one's not for another 27 years
[00:19:28] You know, I can't, I can't.
[00:19:30] Okay, here's the play.
[00:19:31] Oh, replay, replay, replay.
[00:19:32] Okay, what's the luck slow down?
[00:19:33] Watch it, watch it, watch it, watch it.
[00:19:34] He's approaching the top left corner here.
[00:19:36] You gotta lock in here.
[00:19:37] We're on pace.
[00:19:38] I love when we've got the momentum to do it.
[00:19:40] Max doesn't even know.
[00:19:41] Max doesn't even know it's about to happen.
[00:19:43] Hold on.
[00:19:44] Hold, hold, hold, hold.
[00:19:46] Okay, friend by friend.
[00:19:51] Just big...
[00:19:52] Oh!
[00:19:53] Yes!
[00:19:54] Oh my God.
[00:19:56] Oh my God. Perfection.
[00:20:01] Time to be alive. I don't even know...
[00:20:02] Motion Lure, Thanos. I would like to though.
[00:20:06] Yeah. This is an omen of good fortune for a team Liquid today.
[00:20:09] Okay? One of the two main things I was hoping to see today for that boss
[00:20:13] hitting the ground and that screen shaver hitting the corner.
[00:20:17] Oh man. I can't help but feel sorry for all the people who had
[00:20:21] ads with that happen. Yeah.
[00:20:23] Jack is there any weather they can get rid of ads?
[00:20:24] Oh, of course, by using their Twitch Prime subscriptions,
[00:20:27] just go to the bottom of the video player right there
[00:20:29] and see if you have that Prime subscription
[00:20:31] when you hit the resubscribe or subscribe button.
[00:20:33] Scroll all the way down.
[00:20:35] You might just be holding on to a Prime subscription
[00:20:37] that you're already paying for and not getting any value out
[00:20:40] of.
[00:20:41] So go see.
[00:20:41] Look at that.
[00:20:42] We're already getting a couple of people right now sending
[00:20:45] those Prime subs as well.
[00:20:46] And gifted.
[00:20:48] Ceremony, thank you for the gifted as well.
[00:20:50] Let's go.
[00:20:51] Enjoy those ad-free viewing and thank you for supporting
[00:20:53] race to world first. We have a new statistic as well. This is now the seventh most pulled
[00:20:58] tier of all time. Oh, let's go. Which is remarkable because it has had one boss over 100 pulls
[00:21:06] and then Lura. All of the other bosses is like one, one, three, five, one, right? Like
[00:21:13] crazy low pull counts. Crown of the cosmos 33. And yet despite that with just Lura
[00:21:20] Now approaching that 500 pull count, we are up in 7th overall, I think 1st is probably Sepulcher.
[00:21:26] Oh yeah, he's a bounty.
[00:21:27] Because I don't have the 5 bosses that we're all over in the 100s.
[00:21:30] Surprisingly, Crucible of Torrance is probably up there pretty high, that's gotta be over a thousand or around a thousand.
[00:21:37] 2 vs Sargeras, yep.
[00:21:39] 2 vs Sepulcher, 1 and 2.
[00:21:41] Mm-hmm
[00:21:44] You think about it the
[00:21:46] Cash probably a miracle had a few is what had a lot because yes Mulder on had a hundred or so and then
[00:21:53] Tindall and fire act combined to get it to a thousand dish. Yeah a lot. I
[00:21:57] Mean two was our Harris people people fixate so heavily on fallen avatar and kill Jaden but like made and mr.
[00:22:03] Sassy was the yeah, yeah, the vigilance had a decent amount of pulls to that was a really really tough
[00:22:08] You had to feel such a specific comp for it too.
[00:22:11] Everyone was calling it to soak Garrus.
[00:22:14] Is everyone rare like four or five roads?
[00:22:16] Just to deal with all the mechanics in that raid.
[00:22:18] They decided that there were a lot of soaks required across the board
[00:22:22] and apparently they didn't really get together in the meeting
[00:22:24] and say, what's your main mechanic?
[00:22:26] Oh, they got to soak this thing.
[00:22:28] I think the fights in and of themselves were super fun too.
[00:22:31] They were fun.
[00:22:33] Some of the soaks were different.
[00:22:35] Some of it was fallen avatar, you soak beams,
[00:22:37] And then Kil'Jayden, you were soaking these like artillery fire that was
[00:22:42] raining down the platform.
[00:22:43] The Armageddon, thank you.
[00:22:44] That you had to make sure you soaked.
[00:22:46] And that was, if I remember correctly, that was the first time that they had
[00:22:49] the plumes coming up out of a soaked mechanic like you see out of
[00:22:52] Louris Tears where it says, this has been soaked.
[00:22:56] This has not been soaked.
[00:22:57] Kustio, they gave it like 10 gifted as well.
[00:23:00] Welcome in everybody.
[00:23:01] Thank you so much.
[00:23:02] Remind me, in P2 Fallen Avatar, you also had soaks there too, like group
[00:23:06] So I think they broke the ground as well.
[00:23:11] Yeah, I think the boss like broke the ground and you had to keep on jumping to like whatever.
[00:23:15] Oh, yeah. And they were so excited to remaining safe areas. Yeah. Yeah, that was a good time.
[00:23:20] I remember there were mechanics that you would knock back people around you and some people would pop
[00:23:24] immunities and run out into the fire. Yeah, actually. Yeah, anybody with them.
[00:23:27] Yeah, very overpowered. Then in the next year, they made a bunch of mechanics that pierced
[00:23:32] Yep. But they hadn't yet come up with the tech of making them apply through immunities.
[00:23:38] So on Argus, you pre-immune. You popped an immunity on like half the raid, and if somebody got targeted while they were immune, they just wouldn't get targeted.
[00:23:46] If they popped an immune after being targeted, then they would still cause the raid-wide damage when they popped their chain.
[00:23:52] So you just could pull Argus over and over again until you got lucky and all of your pre-immunes were the targets, and then it was very free.
[00:23:58] That was from there's like the circles that you would soak play with other players in Argus
[00:24:03] Then there was like the squares you'd stay away from people wasn't that what it is?
[00:24:05] No, that was the immune one you're talking about the execution execution sentence
[00:24:09] Yeah, in p3 there were three sets of execution sentences that went on players and you had to pop them
[00:24:14] And it would do a bunch of damage to the ring. Yeah, they're similar to crown cosmos aspect to the end
[00:24:17] Mm-hmm, and that one also interestingly enough is getting immune. Yeah
[00:24:22] Yeah, I remember I was I was a warlock that's here and I brought in my ratty frost mage that
[00:24:28] The best legendary I've had for Frost was the one that you got for free for doing Antorus.
[00:24:33] I forgot what it was called, but it made your like power stronger.
[00:24:36] Oh wow, okay yeah.
[00:24:37] It was really bad, but it was literally just ice block, execution sentences one and three.
[00:24:41] That's all I was in the raid for.
[00:24:42] Yep.
[00:24:44] I heard death knights had to like vary precisely AMS timing so they could do like one, two and four.
[00:24:51] It was like you had to press it like seven seconds early,
[00:24:54] or else it didn't come off cooldown in time.
[00:24:58] Say a couple questions in chat. Are they pulling note there? They're not that we're not dark
[00:25:03] We're also not on a break, but we're also not pulling. Don't ask me what we are doing
[00:25:09] We're yapping. We're doing something called filling. Yeah, that's right. Trust us the rate is out waiting for us
[00:25:15] You know, it's just like in in other tournaments and competition
[00:25:17] They're like off and the castors can like stop talking we can actually get into the game trust us
[00:25:21] We're not we're not holding them up. What aren't we doing? Well, we're not pulling the boss
[00:25:24] I can tell you that there's a POV of fired up just jumping around while they're having their discussion or
[00:25:28] or whatever it is that's going on right now.
[00:25:30] I wouldn't be shocked if there's some kind of damage change
[00:25:33] that they've done behind the scenes
[00:25:35] and now they're trying to make sure they can find a way
[00:25:37] to make it more consistent.
[00:25:39] Because if they're having some concerns
[00:25:41] about midnight crystals going off
[00:25:43] or missing some damage somewhere in phase one,
[00:25:46] just to optimize damage further.
[00:25:48] And it could just be that they're trying to work out
[00:25:50] the best way to sort of optimize their damage once more.
[00:25:54] I feel like that was one of the biggest things
[00:25:56] like Mizzoff, where you're trying to optimize your damage on like tentacles
[00:26:00] that you can kill off the ad and you can get out of the phase more rapidly, that
[00:26:03] I just ate up a ton of the conversation for progression, progressing on the fight
[00:26:07] and I'll never forget because we try to talk about healer stuff for like five
[00:26:10] minutes and then we're like, can you guys stop talking about healing stuff or
[00:26:12] try to talk about stuff that's important. Just keep our HP bars top buddy.
[00:26:17] Yeah. A lot of people in chat are saying a Raider might be sick or feeling a
[00:26:23] little under the weather so that might be the cause for delay here. That'll be
[00:26:25] really unfortunate way for this to go and we do actually see a comp change actually coming out here
[00:26:33] really it looks like wait it's a blood decay for it looks like we might be dropping the the blood
[00:26:39] decay yeah for a bear hmm bear does a lot of damage it does do a lot of damage that's the main
[00:26:45] thing it does i mean we were watching titles progress on crown of the cosmos last night one
[00:26:49] of his main complaints is why am i losing to a bear well it's a common occurrence for titles
[00:26:54] But yeah, Yps has been on the bear on every boss up until this one.
[00:27:00] He swapped off of it, less than 100 pulls in, and has done 400 pulls on Blood Death Knight.
[00:27:06] But it looks like he's saying, you know what, pull number 457,
[00:27:10] that's when the bear is coming back in.
[00:27:11] Yes, you guys have gotten too complacent expecting this mask grip here.
[00:27:16] I'll do a little, we call it a bear mask grip, Ursul's vortex typhoon.
[00:27:21] Yeah. Yeah, make it work with that.
[00:27:23] I think it's a little bit of a mass grip at home.
[00:27:25] Yeah.
[00:27:25] We didn't kind of reveal this, but during Bella and we were kind of told,
[00:27:29] we're not showing Yip's POV, and also don't talk about him,
[00:27:32] but he was doing a ton of damage on that.
[00:27:35] Yeah.
[00:27:35] So that bear can bring a lot of extra boss damage here.
[00:27:38] I have tinfoil for how he was doing that much damage on the egg as well.
[00:27:41] Oh.
[00:27:42] The bear, bears have this apex talent where it's like,
[00:27:45] after you press Incarn,
[00:27:47] your Incarn turns into a button that you can press to make your next couple abilities like,
[00:27:51] Duplicate and do a bunch of extra damage, but you don't have a timer
[00:27:55] It's not like oh for the next 10 seconds you can press this
[00:27:57] So what I bet he was doing was in carning on pole and then saving that wild guardian press for like right before the egg landed
[00:28:04] And then hitting another in car and then pressing another wild guardian and just absolutely nuking the egg
[00:28:10] I don't know for a hundred percent certainty, but that's my guess as to how yeah for anybody who was wondering
[00:28:16] Yipps was a huge part of the reason why that egg was taking so much damage.
[00:28:20] A lot of it was the AUG triangle, stuff like that as well,
[00:28:22] but the Bearger had just a tremendous amount of extra damage.
[00:28:26] Now, Lura doesn't really...
[00:28:46] you
[00:29:16] you
[00:29:46] you
