The race for the World First kill of Dimensius in World of Warcraft is over. The winners are once again from the USA.
In the last two weeks, the so-called “World First Race” took place in World of Warcraft. It’s about which guild can defeat the current end boss of the game on the highest difficulty (mythic) first. In the deep Sunday night our time, the American guild Liquid managed to secure the victory. Thus, the race for first place is over – and Dimensius has been defeated.
You can see the cinematic for the next expansion here:
How difficult was the fight? Dimensius was clearly one of the tougher end bosses. This can be seen alone from the number of necessary pulls that were needed to defeat him. Team Liquid had to run against the boss a whopping 384 times to ultimately defeat him. Over 200 attempts alone were spent just to reach the final phase of the fight.
This is also because Dimensius is a boss with extremely many abilities that can lead to defeat on mythic difficulty with even the smallest mistake.
You can see the kill here, starting from 07:50:50 the final phase of the fight begins:
Liquid and Echo in a fierce head-to-head race
How close was the victory? The race was extremely close. The competing guild Echo and Team Liquid regularly outdid each other in progress. Twice, Echo even narrowly missed out on victory, as they were able to bring Dimensius below 1% before ultimately succumbing to the Void Lord.
For the viewers, the race was therefore extremely exciting, even though the fight with 384 pulls repeated several times. Those interested in the progress and the race were offered a lot of excitement – and fans of Team Liquid were ultimately rewarded with their guild’s victory.
Liquid wins the entire expansion: Team Liquid not only succeeded in defeating Dimensius and the Manaforge Omega, but they also secured the overall victory in the entire expansion The War Within. Team Liquid was able to win in all three raid tiers, namely the Palace of Nerub’ar, the Liberation of Lorenhall, and the Manaforge Omega. This is a first for Team Liquid.
Did you follow the race for the World First kill in World of Warcraft? Did you cheer for Team Liquid or watch other guilds like Echo or Method?
As raiding in The War Within comes to an end, fans can already look forward to the new raids in the next expansion Midnight. Because there, the addon starts with 3 raids right away.
