The Liquid Guild has secured its fourth consecutive Race to World First<\/a> (RWF) title. The final boss of the World of Warcraft Midnight raid, L’ura, was defeated right after lunchtime yesterday. The race was really close once again, with Echo leading just before Liquid’s final pull.<\/p>\n

L’ura proved to be one of the toughest raid bosses in recent times. The encounter became even harder when the guild, believing they had killed the boss the night before, was met with a Mythic-only secret fourth phase. This hidden stage, not present in the Heroic difficulty, shifted the momentum towards Echo, their European competitors, who began their raid day with the benefit of Liquid\u2019s discovery. This allowed them to strategize for the final phase without the time-consuming trial-and-error pulls.<\/p>\n

They eventually got the boss down to 6.1%; however, the Liquid Guild definitely woke up with a mission. After only an hour of practice and a lunch break, the boys almost immediately pulled it off after what can only be described as a near-perfect pull. In total, it took the guild 474 pulls to get the job done, which is not the most we have ever seen, but it is definitely up there.
