Nihilum down Twins first

[Oculate]

Being Flamebait friday, lets start...

Despite everything Magtheridon EU has been through, Nihilum got their first worlds first yesterday

Even with the US having their gates opened first (1 day), EU has still taken the lead

Does this mean US raiders suck that much? Or is its because Nihilum have the 'paid incentive' to raid like maniacs?

Discuss!

I have said it in the past and will say it again...

Nihilum WILL clear sunwell first. Those guys are in a league of their own.
Like them or dislike them... they are the best end-game raiding guild out there.

Yup,

My dagger dropped

I'm really glad to see this. Nihilum got shafted in the PTR and they took a lot of flak about not featuring on the first 3 bosses so it's really nice to see them redeem themselves.

After listening to an interview with them I realised that even with their hardcore approach they don't come across as a bunch of douche-bags like the DnT guys do.

Get yourself 2 x dagger of bad mojo if you dont have access to the polearm that I am using now. With enough ignore armour stats, its pretty much the best duel wielding setup you can get till you get access to those sunwell drops.

Every single ZA run I have done, they have dropped... so I think the droprate is pretty good !

 

[Oculate]

Yeah, ive got alot more access to Naj than i do ZA tbh

We're hardly doing ZA anymore

 

[Pornolio]

I dont have the Narjentus polearm anymore...

SK Gaming also got him last night. So Nihilum has some fierce competition in their own league now.

 

[Oculate]

Since wowjutsu hasnt updated...

Score is EU 2 - US 0 ?

EDIT Pornolio... your bow dropped for SK Gaming...lmao to add no hunters present >.<

 

[TheShogun]

SK Gaming have pretty much been Nihilums main competition for most of BC so it's good to see they're still pwning.

 

[virgo_ct]

Haven't they recently split up citing annoying with Blizzard and lack of fun...?

 

[kHayne]

It was an April fools, and elaborate one, but still just a hoax.

Srsly, getting paid to raid in a rather kief game? Who the fk wouldn't want that?

 

[virgo_ct]

Lol well then I was April fooled! These days there is a lot more money in professional gaming than say professional minor sports such as hockey and netball - and the top Counterstrike etc. players are celebrities, especially in the East. Our SA teams often struggle to find sponsorships to even go overseas, but I know of local guys earning big bucks in gaming, and the tournaments are all paid for.
