Apologies for the re-upload. KZread's content ID system and DMCA as a whole continues to be the bane of my existence, deciding not to do its content match while it was private and waiting until the video was already out for 30 minutes to trigger demonetisation :). Anyway Mike thought that this race to world first was so epic, so close, the players on Echo and Liquid were playing their absolute best, he felt he just had to document the amazing journey.

As Star Augur Etraeus says within the Nighthold Raid: "The stars align! Fear their portents" I was watching Echo stream on the kill pull, and oh my lord, what a moment ❤️

Incredible journey. Great work from both teams, and congratulations to Echo for the victory this time 👏

The best recap of the raid I have seen so far. gave me a lump in my throat just watching this. The music and story telling on point as always our lord preach.

this was an awesome race, so lucky to b watchin u guys live when it went down! thanks preach and both liquid n echo! really great stuff

Incredible epic video. Masterfully done by Preach and Team. Thanks for reliving it 😊

I quit during the Shadowlands and moved on to diffrent things, but nothing will ever fill me with that much joy, pride and awe as raids and the eruption of screams when ever a boss is killed will always give me goosebumps, even if I'm just watching

Even as a mediocre raider in Vanilla and BC (pushing for server firsts but never quite getting one), the screams of joy over voice chat as we downed a boss we'd been working on for ages were just amazing. Definitely the fondest moments of my gaming history, the peak of excitement and camaraderie - decades later I can still feel it.

I root for Liquid just because I'm here in NA and catch their streams the most, but I loved watching both the different streams! The caster teams for both races were so good how could you not enjoy yourself. I really appreciated how much less "NA vs EU" weird toxic stuff was going on in both channels. They were both quick to snuff it out and it made for a much more enjoyable race. Great content all around.

Wish they could stream the race together, would love to see Preach and Jak commentate together.

It was an amazing race indeed. Loved it and loved the casters on both teams.

I’m a Liquid fan, but there’s no denying how amazing this race was. Had drama in the best way, Blizzard manager to not fuck everyone over, and it came down to a 0.07% diff nailbiter. Couldn’t ask for more

Great video. I watched nearly the entire race from 7th boss onwards and was cheering for Echo the whole way - really glad they got over the line first! Also, Clickz walking across the screen is very pleasing at 16:22. :D

I watched it live and can only say - you did a REALLY good job bringing the story to life again!

Great summary video probably one of the coolest videos I’ve seen on the channel in recent years

As someone who watched most of the race from Liquid's stream- this was an awesome way to catch some of the Echo perspective. Such a great race!

Man watching the reactions to the kill from casters, players and production never fails to put a smile on my face.

Undoubtedly the most awesome raid we've had! Great recap and great vid Mike & team ❤

1) Preach just makes absolutely outstanding videos. Editing, narrating, everything. Thank you for these. 2) Seeing everyone in Echo just explode with excitment on winning. It just makes me so happy. I love seeing that. Congrats again and on to the next one.

This man can tell a story, I mean from start to finish I was excited, I’m not a die hard world of Warcraft player, I’ve played casually since 2006. I haven’t played at all this expansion. But listening to Preach tell this story of world first I was excited and wanted to go back and watch the race myself. The voice the knowledge the research amazing keep it up

Loved this tier, I was tuned in for the Thandral and Fyrakk kills and it was incredibly hype both times!

Nice recap! And thanks for casting an awesome raid - that caster team is awesome! Especially you and Alex

I love Scripes reaction to the kill banging on that table to then slam hes headset down completely destroying it. Later he posted a pic on how he hade taped the thing back together again before he could get a new pair.

such a great video had my attention the entire video

Thanks for the recap that was cool

Just finished watching this video. Epic Raid tier this time around

Thank you for this masterpiece of recap to this epic race.!

Some of your best content, Mike

Really well done video

This was a legendary race to witness. Whoever made the high-risk decision to say: lets push on for 23 hours has got some balls.

I love your commentary that day. Thanks.

thats a fresh haircut preach. looking great! i always love your videos.

This is an amazing new series!!

Only thing missing from this is a transcript of your rumbling on the kill! Great work recapping the story.

Great video Preach. Gingi's reaction to the Tindral kill says it all 🤣

even tho o toke a big break from wow after the release of this expantion. i am glade i came back before this raid. watching this in twitch was a treat. and even more this 30 min preach video like the old days. what a great come back to wow for the last 4 months.

I used to love watching stuff like this. Now it just reminds me of my guild and what I thought was my friend group fall apart. Thanks for letting me live in the nostalgia for a bit there Mike.

Great video Mr preach

So jeathe stares at clears even when hes not playing, interesting. lol.

25:46 love the "inner" celebration by jeath

Havent watched your vids in a while but i got to say first thing i noticed was you look very healthy and good my man ! Also Awesome video, excellent Storytelling, even though i dont play wow anymore i enjoyed watching and listening :)

Loved it. More of this.

God tier narration on this video. What a ride.

It's really good to see a good raid come out of the end of the expansion.

Jeath and his legendary reactions 😐

great video buddy

I still can't tell how many times i've died in this race. It was outstanding, amazing, beyond everything ever seen in 20 years of WoW. It will be hard to match something like this again.

Thank you Mike!

What a killer video - can’t believe I’m just watching this.

Thank you for your insight ❤ I totally agree 🎉 this was THE BEST RACE EVER 🎉

this is an EXCELLENT video.

22:05 "gave proof through the night that fyrakk was still there..."

this race was amazing, single handedly revived wow races

I don't know the name of the song that was playing during the kill but my god it it was the perfect song for that moment. Goosebumps everytime i watch it

whats the song playing when they defeat fyrakk?

fab as always

Not even playing WoW and it was amazing to follow !

Preach you're looking better and better in terms of physique every new video, keep up the good work man I'm rooting for ya!

The best RWF so far! What a joy it was to watch on both sides.

Wonderful Video my man, awesome Story in this Race! One point here tho, didn't Liquid win in Castla Nathria on the day of the reset for NA or am i misremembering?

So good

nice video boss

Watching these guilds wipe hundreds of times and keep going while my pug breaks down after 1 wipe. Shoutout to this pug

What Is the guild rune thing he talks about @4:40

I could listen to Preach narrate an entire book!

When Preach said THIS IS IT, that was a line out of a movie the way he said it lol

Jeathe's reaction :)) Classic.

I remember I threw a stream on Twitch that day, within 5 mins of turning it on the WF kill came...very funny way to see my axe drop

I watched the whole race, and this was an appropriately dramatic recap. I haven't played WoW in many years, but I still catch every race, and this one was the most exciting I've seen in a long time. I went to bed nervous every night at the end, and I was so happy to see the finish live. Still, I probably wouldn't be half as interested if it wasn't for the entire Echo team. You guys really know how to put on a show.

Make sure you re-like and re-watch because of youtubes DMCA system fucking our boy over.

I lost interest in this game a long time ago, but I will forever come back for these races just to hear the screams after a world first.

I watched both at the same time, Had it up on each monitor. Was voting for Liquid but proud of all of you!

Insane level of gameplay

I think this is going to happen more often as Blizzard continues to hotfix during race to world first. The biggest killers were when bosses were changed massively on reset day, causing easy finishes. Now they can be changed quickly and before either team has progressed too far to one-shot it post-nerf.

Been watching for years preachy, This rtwf was the first I tuned into, mostly thanks to you, hope to meet you some day

I don’t even play wow and I was fixated! Brilliant stuff!

One of your best vids Preach. I loved this race. I am NA but like both teams a lot and majority of players. (some players on each team come off as complete assholes). This was one of if not the best races ive ever seen. I wish there was some way some how we could get this mainstreamed worldwide, and put on espn like ive seen other games do. Compared to other games i can say with confidence that WoW top end players are the best video gamers in the entire world and its not even close. Not any other game can compare to skill and coordination effort and stamina needed to succeed.

Great race!

What a movie! What a race!

I was lucky to be able to watch the kill live, and while I wanted Liquid to win, it was truly a wonderful showing from both teams as well as Blizzard in the tuning and design of the encounter. If this expansion was meant to be the transition from the mess we've been in with the prior expansions into this new era, then this race was the perfect way to close out this expansion.

This is one of you better videos. You even got my wife to pay attention and ask about world first raiding.

450k ppl watching live. Crazy they got the entire wow population to tune in.

Is the Saul he’s talking about the same Shaman Saul that pvps and was just in awc? If so dudes a beast

What a race it was, I watched most of Echo and you and the other casters are also a big reason to why I choose echo to watch. Thanks preach and casters! I had both streams open when echo killed it, what a moment

Great story

top vid sir

This truly was the Best Of Raid All Race Time

Holy shit, his hair looks great!

Although I appreciate RWF. I would like to see Blizz implementing changes to allow for more competition and not only 2 teams from both regions

9:17 Obvious Star Trek reference. Mike is a turbonerd to the bone.

Liquid vs Echo is bigger than the Ryder's Cup!

That dude getting "that ill he cant leave bed" for one day conveniently that day then bein back on wow the next day is weird lol

i haven't raided mythic since pandaria, garrosh was a really fun fight, but now looking at fyrakk and the amount of mechanics that i saw you had to evade and how much crap there was, made me GLAD i am not raiding mythic haha, it's so much cluster of abilities and these abilities have the chance of just wiping you completely, like the seeds, heroic have seeds but it's WAY easier to manage them than in mythic as far as i saw, it does NOT look fun to play mythic, whenever ONE MECHANIC is enough to just one shot you or that you are not able to recover that mistake is just frustrating. (personal opinion of course)

seems like half the budget for RWF has to go to headsets, these fuckers are not gentle with them

Was the entire raid sitting in that room ?

echo win at amirdrassil is my inspiration... that no matter what you dream is with hard work anything is posible

I quit WoW years ago and have recently come back but my goodness Preach, you're looking great! You've clearly lost a lot of weight and your hair has climbed back lol!

Amirdrassil is one of the best gaming experiences I've had in the last few years. T-Swift + Dragonriding is so incredible. I cannot wait to see what the team cooks up for The War Within.

I thought you said you wont cover wow after the nyalotha method josh fiasco.

what happened to Method?
