The Result: Echo Takes World First

Echo secured the World First Mythic kill of Fyrakk the Blazing on November 26, 2023, at roughly 15:31 Pacific. Team Liquid answered the following day, November 27, to take World Second, and Method rounded out the podium with World Third on November 29. The whole race spanned about 13 days from the first Mythic pulls to Echo's kill, with the last four to five days spent almost entirely on Fyrakk.

The finish is remembered as one of the best in the game's history because of how tight it was. Echo and Liquid both pushed Fyrakk under 2 percent health repeatedly across the final hours, swapping the lead pull for pull, before Echo finally closed it out. Echo needed around 344 pulls on the final boss to Liquid's 463. The race drew more than 400,000 concurrent viewers on Twitch and raised well over 100,000 dollars for charity across the competing guilds.

The Guilds That Competed

Four organizations anchored the race, each with its own broadcast and roster history heading into Amirdrassil.

Echo (Europe)

Echo came in as a proven World First guild and left as the Dragonflight final-tier champions. They had already taken World First in Vault of the Incarnates, the Season 1 raid, and they added Amirdrassil to that record. Echo ran a full on-site broadcast from a studio in Sweden throughout the race.

Team Liquid (North America)

Team Liquid entered as the reigning Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible champions, having won World First in the Season 2 raid. They pushed Echo to the wire on Fyrakk and fell just short, taking World Second by a single day. Liquid ran their usual large on-site production with live progression coverage and community segments.

Method (Europe)

Method, one of the most decorated guilds in the game's competitive history, broadcast their attempts live from the 1337 Camp venue in Germany. They finished World Third, a couple of days behind the Echo and Liquid duel.

Skyline (Asia)

Skyline competed as a leading Chinese guild racing from Taiwanese realms, having relocated after Blizzard's services in mainland China were suspended in early 2023. Rebuilding on fresh accounts in a new region made their run one of the harder logistical stories of the race.

Where Fans Watched the Race

Beyond the guild streams, three community pillars carried the coverage. Wowhead published rolling articles on first kills, group compositions, and strategy shifts as the top guilds hit each encounter, from Gnarlroot through Smolderon, Tindral Sageswift, and Fyrakk. Raider.IO ran the official race tracker with real-time rankings and progression embeds, and Warcraft Logs powered the deeper analytics through its Competition Mode board, updating pull counts and boss progress on a short timer.

Dungeon Dojo, a Blizzard-recognized group-content community, added its own live broadcast for viewers who wanted a second angle on the race. Between the guild productions and the coverage sites, Amirdrassil was one of the most heavily documented raids of the Dragonflight era.
