The race for the first kills in WoW is in full swing. Two guilds are currently battling for ultimate victory against the Burning Legion.
In line with Saint Nicholas, the mythic version of Antorus, the Burning Throne was released yesterday on 06.12.2017. The final raid of World of Warcraft: Legion has once again ignited the exciting race for the first kills among the professional guilds.
However, things are not going well for the Legion, as Sargeras probably hoped. After nearly 16 hours, “the 3 great guilds” had already sent 9 of the 11 bosses back to the Nether. The race is mainly between Method, Exorsus, and Limit.
Just a few hours later, Method already achieved the kill of Aggramar, but Exorsus was able to catch up with a slight delay.
A bit behind is the guild Limit, which is currently still stuck on Aggramar and has thus only managed to defeat “only” 9 of the 11 bosses.
Method and Exorsus are in a neck-and-neck race
The current status (at the time of writing, 7.12. 4 PM) is that Method and Exorsus are having fun with Argus, the Unmaker on the mythic difficulty level.
The final fight is considered particularly mysterious, as Argus has two additional phases that only exist on mythic difficulty. How exactly these phases work is still completely unknown. The major guilds will hardly share any information until the first kill to not give the competition an advantage.
So far, it can be said that the mythic difficulty of Antorus does not pose a particularly lengthy challenge for the professional guilds. But until the last boss is defeated, the raid is not considered completed – and end bosses tend to hold out in World of Warcraft for several weeks.
As the mythic bosses were also not tested by players on the PTR, it is quite possible that there are bugs or errors that have led to some bosses being easier than planned and others (like Argus) being too difficult. So far, Blizzard has held back on hotfixes, so everything seems to be in order.
What do you think of Antorus, the difficulty level, and the progress of the professional guilds? Is it all too easy, or is it an impressive achievement how quickly the professionals are plowing through the content?
