The Eternal Palace 1st Night – 6/8 HC Down

What a night!

As is Gordian Knot tradition, we celebrated the release of The Eternal Palace with one of our legendary all-nighters!

What’s an All-Nighter?

For those unfamiliar with the term, it’s simple:
We gather the team, stock up on energy drinks and snacks, start at our usual raid time, and go until the last one standing.

In other words, we raid hard and have a great time doing it.

How It Went

Last night’s all-nighter? A total blast!
Not one, not two, but eight amazing hours full of banter, laughter, and, of course, boss kills.

As a result, we reached 6/8 Heroic on the first night and earned a shiny Realm Rank 31—an incredible start!

Team Effort

This achievement was only possible because everyone gave their all.
From Athlios and the Officers to our long-time Raiders and new Trials—every single person contributed.

Each fight brought something unique. With fun and challenging mechanics, everyone stayed focused and pushed hard.

Therefore, the progress we made truly reflects our teamwork.

Big Thanks to the Backup Crew

A special shoutout goes to those who stayed on backup or were rotated in and out during fights.
Even though they didn’t get to participate in every pull, their support made a huge difference.

In addition, sacrificing the thrill of the first night for the good of the team shows true dedication—and we truly appreciate it.

Blizzard Deserves Some Credit

Also, credit where it’s due:
Blizzard did a great job keeping the fights interesting and challenging, but not overwhelming.

What’s Next?

The race is just getting started!

Next up: Za’qul, and of course Queen Azshara.
We’re aiming to get Ahead of the Curve this week—and then we charge into Mythic next week!

Watch Us Live

Za’qul (or Za’qul the Cool, as Illy calls him ) is on the menu tonight!

Meanwhile, you can join us live on Ath’s Twitch stream at 20:00 and dive into the Gordian Knot experience with us.

Well Done, Team!

Everyone—you were amazing.
Well done, and thank you!

Much love,
