Here's some Aggramar clarifications in regards to the Asia 4th kill - Ding Xin beat Libertad to the World 11th punch and 10/11, pushing everyone after Skyline one back, and with Wait for It also recently having downed the penultimate boss that makes us just 1 shy of the top 20!

With the lack of movement on the Aggramar front, let's look at the boss before him. Ego have managed to get past this council boss as US/OC 5th, just minutes before Honestly, who got US/OC 6th. This puts the two at a World rank of #22 and #23 respectively.

A few more guilds have now managed to get up to 9/11, with Memento, Nova, Libertad and Pieces having gotten them down. We also have a few Asian guilds who've killed them, with Skyline being one of them. With the dificulty of tracking the Chinese guilds it's hard to tell exactly who killed Coven first, but it's safe to say that all the above mentioned guilds sit somewhere in the top10-15!

For those counting along, Method downed 10 of the 11 bosses in Antorus "Mythic" in around 20 hours, making Emerald Nightmare seem hard in comparison. Ok, so that's an overstatement since, as always, it's all about the final boss of a raid. But now we're facing another Kil'jaeden-like situation - if he does live up to other endbosses, he has to be incredibly difficult, wich usually means unkillable before x amount of nerfs. Last tier the top guilds weren't too happy with that approach and now it's been extended by a large amount, seeing as how (at least Method) have arrived at him in the first 2 days.

Let's just all hope that Blizzard didn't end up making the probably final tier of Legion a joke, and Argus lives at least half way into the second reset.

While Limit have been rampaging through the upper reaches of Antorus, we've had some more action on the 5/11 scene, as Benched, WHATEVER WERE AWESOME, Strawberry Puppy Kisses and Lethal join the Eonar down club, making it 6 on 5! We also have 4 guilds on 4/11, with Instant Dollars, vodkaz, Encore and Storm getting as far as Portal Keeper Hasabel, and another 5 on 3/11 - Unity, Metempsychosis, Overcoming and Style. We then see 19 guilds on 2/11 and 62 with only the,one boss down.

So, the situation as we head into the wee hours of the night is Limit are still the only guild to have downed Kin'garoth and have reached 7/11, which is about on par with ToS first day clears if they stay there. They're followed by Easy, Big Dumb Guild and Alacrity on 6/11 and we'll probably see some if not all of them arrive at 7/11 today. Midwinter and Fused are on 5/11, followed by Benched on 4 and Instant Dollars on 3. We still only have a couple of guilds on 2/11, with Storm and WHATEVER WERE AWESOME, while 11 guilds have downed Garothi Worldbreaker only.

The maintenance schedule for today's Antorus Mythic opening reset is here, so the probably final race of Legion begins at 6:00 AM PST/3 PM CET! It's time to see just how many bosses go down on the first day, before the EU and Asia guilds get a chance to enter the raid. Tomb of Sargeras saw five bosses going down on US/OC day, with Big Dumb Guild and Easy sharing the honors. Antorus has two more bosses than ToS, so it's possible we see as many as 7 bosses go down today.

The tuning of this presumably final raid of Legion will be very important, as Blizzard don't want the expansion to go out on a low note of too easy to kill bosses, but if we get a ToS-type situation, most top guilds will be raiding into Christmas or be skipping a few days of progress, similar to the situation we had with Chinese guilds during Nighthold progress. Argus has a Mythic only phase no one knows much about, and Kil'jaeden's Mythic version turned out to be a bit controversial on the tuning aspect, so it's going to be very interesting to see how Blizzard handle this one to say the least.

Limit's ban has been lifted just now! Whether those characters can be well geared enough to be of help in Antorus is a bit doubtful, but they will have access to plenty more characters at least.
