Just to clarify something regarding Blackwing Lair. For the Complete Raid rankings (Speed/Execution/DPS/HPS), skipping trash with invis pots etc will not be allowed. For the progression race, anything goes. I validate progression off boss kills, so if you want to invis, you can.— Warcraft Logs (@WarcraftLogs) Feb 10, 2020

22 minutes.For 9 bosses.That is impressive.I Think Nefarian is about to have a very bad day tomorrow.I'm betting he dies within 2 hours of the raid opening.
Not that I ever cared for speedrunning in games... but a bit silly they say: can't use this potion. It is an in-game item, everyone can use it... it's not an exploit. Just let them use all the tools and see what is fastest.
Who cares they only use top dps classes this doesn't really prove much of anything.
Another evidence that how ridiculously easy vanilla was. People back then were dumb, not skilled. Because right now skilled players are making classic a piece of pastry.
Imagine arguing what side of WoW is better. Just enjoy it 4head, its ez.
Tbh is the only way to make these raids a challenge, because they offer none by themselves.
ohh that cool 12 rogue and 14 war that a raid team :))) My guys said " sorry m8 we had alredy 3 rogues bring your mage ( there was 8 ) :))
Nothing stops you from making your own speed running competition website. Odds are the vast majority of the players do want the speed runs to be full clears.

As a dedicated speedrun viewer I can understand why they would put a limit on certain things, even though it's part of the game.It's common practice to separate runs based on what's allowed to do in the game (Like in SMB3, there's a category for glitching the game to skip to the ending and one for not using that specific exploit).Even on the WoW Classic page on speedrun.com they separate the category for with or without invis potions, so I think it's more of a community agreement on what's allowed and what's not.
