I reckon odds are good on a Mythic only phase being the last phase and plenty of time to Mythic over 2 seasons (3/4)
Race is just feeling oddly artificial with how Blizzard seem to have adopted a policy of buffing a boss to high heavens so whichever guild gets to it first gets no advantage, then nerfing it to be killable once both are there.Still obviously favors a guild that has had more time on a boss, but it's the WoW equivalent of the F1 abu dhabi title decider.
My Annoyance is the guilds going off stream, they lead us on for days then go and do the last boss of stream, leaving all those who watched and rooted for them, without a finish, its *!@#.
liquid turned their steam off on the last boss, the boss everyones been waiting for.. the one day head start isnt enough they have to turn their stream off too? hard to invest into this when the main competitors pick and choose what they're going to stream or not
Streamers don't owe you anything. They are going to fulfill their contractual obligations for streaming ; the lawyers will make sure of that. But when the while competition is about solving a multi-stage puzzle, it behooves the leader to hide their early stage solutions from the rest of the pack.This isn't a new tactic. Y'all just lookin for a reason to be mad.
The longer the race the better chances are that Echo will win. Shorter races favour Liquid going by past RWFs.
