Amirdrassil Race to World First Day 10 Recap - Fyrakk Nerfs, Phase 3, "Going Dark"
We're close to reaching critical mass in the Race to World First! Throughout the race, Dratnos & Tettles will be providing Daily Recaps of the events of each day — today's video focuses on Fyrakk nerfs, the concept of guilds «Going Dark» during the race, and more.

Today's RWF Recap starts with a quick look at the nerf Fyrakk received earlier today — 12% health taken off of the Phase 2 colossi, which were a massive pain point that were almost impossible to consistently beat, requiring 4 million DPS (between the two targets) to kill before they exploded. Now they «only» require 3.5 million DPS, which is still a massive check but is something that RWF guilds will be able to make a bit more consistent.
Fyrakk's 3rd phase has been reached, technically first by Echo for a few seconds, and then more substantially by Liquid who saw the first overlaps of the phase and helped us learn a bit more about how the phase works.
Echo, after reaching Phase 3, did «go dark» and turn off their streams and hide their progression details, as Liquid had done the day before. Dratnos and Tettles explain how this strategy makes sense for guilds that are in the lead, seeing a new phase, and about to go to bed, as they don't want to provide free information for their competition at a time when they're about to go to sleep and won't be able to make use of it themselves.
