The popular “Nerd Screams” during the kill of Fyrakk in World of Warcraft impress once again. You can see how the professionals perform here.
After an exhausting race for the “World First Kill” of Fyrakk in Amidrassil, Hope of the Dream, the guild Echo managed to secure the victory. They were the first to defeat the current final boss in Patch 10.2 of World of Warcraft Dragonflight.
That this is “more than just a game” for everyone involved can clearly be heard in the screams that erupt when the boss is finally taken down.
These so-called “Nerd Screams” are always a popular conclusion to the race. After all, the professionals often play at full concentration for days or weeks, deep into the night, to snag the first place – just like this time.
Fyrakk falls and 25 people go wild
You can watch how the players “escalate” when Fyrakk is finally defeated after over 300 attempts and thus secures the title of “World First” in the “Room Reaction” below:
Generally, this race is likely to go down in the history of World of Warcraft as one of the most exciting. Both Echo and the American competitors from Team Liquid had previously achieved a wipe at 1.7% of the remaining hit points on Fyrakk – just about 15-20 seconds away from the actual kill. Therefore, the victory could have gone to either of the two guilds at any moment.
Not only the active players themselves but also the commentators and the crew in the production room are passionately invested. Here, headsets are ripped off heads, people jump on each other, and they scream uncontrollably – but beware, it’s very loud:
Even though it may remain hard for some to understand how one can get so worked up “over a video game,” it is simply beautiful to see the energy and passion with which all the involved guilds participate in this race.
A highlight was also the legendary axe that was available now – even if it costs over 1,000,000 gold.
