In World of Warcraft, it’s getting exciting again starting today, as the race for the “World First” kill of N’zoth begins. However, corrupted items are causing some awkward moments.
For fans of the toughest challenges in World of Warcraft, exciting days are starting again, as the “World First” race for the mythic kill of N’Zoth begins today. In total, 12 bosses must be defeated in the final raid of Battle for Azeroth. But which guild will be the first to defeat “N’Zoth the Corruptor” in Ny’alotha? This race could be quite crazy this time, as corrupted items provide significant enhancements for players – but is that still fair?
Who are the favorites? As with the last major races in the Eternal Palace and the Battle of Dazar’alor, the two favorites are the US guild Limit (now called “Complexity Limit”) and the European guild Method.
Method has recently achieved all the major victories and is therefore considered the favorite for the First Kill this time as well. But other professionals like Pieces, BigDumbGuild, or the Russian guild Exorsus should also be on the radar, as they often finished just a few hours behind the first kills.
Method starts with a delay: As usual, the players from Europe, including the pro guild Method, have a disadvantage of several hours. This is due to the different time zones and the varying times for maintenance work.
American guilds (like Limit) therefore start nearly half a day earlier than the European competition. In previous races, however, that has not prevented Method from claiming the first place.
Corrupted items could cause problems: This race might be particularly chaotic this time, as corrupted items have an impact that surpasses even the legendary items from Legion. It could be possible that it is not the skill of the players that determines the outcome, but simply the team with the best combination of corrupted items wins.
Here’s how you can watch: If you want to follow the race live, there are once again two major events to choose from.
As in the past, Method will stream the “Race to World First: Ny’alotha” again from Germany, specifically from Krefeld at TaKe TV. Those who are there might get the chance to meet some pros live. The stream will start today afternoon (January 28th) at 3:00 PM on Method’s Twitch channel – and it will run 24 hours a day, with no breaks. Here you can find Method’s stream on Twitch.TV.
Almost simultaneously, the stream from Complexity-Limit will start, which will only stream for “just” 16 hours a day. You can also watch Limit in the livestream on Twitch.TV.
Is this the only race in 2020? The race in Ny’alotha could surprisingly be the only race of 2020. Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth is indeed the last patch of WoW: Battle for Azeroth. A longer dry spell without new content is on the way. The next expansion Shadowlands is expected to be released in 2020, but whether that will happen before December – and if a new raid will be released so early – remains to be seen.
Will you follow the race for the World First kill of N’Zoth in mythic mode? Or does this race leave you completely cold?
