The Great Push Returns for Dragonflight Season 4!

Live Posted 2024/07/01 at 11:55 AM by Squishei

The Great Push has returned for its second-ever full season in the final season of Dragonflight! Each weekend, six of the world’s top dungeoneers will have five hours to push the assigned dungeons as high as possible.

The Great Push (TGP) is a spinoff of the Mythic Dungeon International (MDI), the premiere Mythic+ speedrunning competition in World of Warcraft. The Great Push pits the top players in the world against one another to test their limits and set records by pushing Mythic+ keystones as high as possible over the span of several weekends. All the action will be streamed live on the Warcraft Twitch and YouTube channels!

Each week of the Groups Stage brings with it six new teams of distinguished dungeoneers vying for a spot in the Global Finals, and six unique sets of dungeons and affixes to be conquered. At the end of each Group weekend, the 3 teams with the fastest runs in the highest dungeons will qualify for a spot in the Global Finals, and earn a shot at earning the lion’s share of the $200,000 prize pool!

Each weekend of The Great Push takes place over the span of 3 days, with a total of 15 hours of Tournament Play. Competitors will have five hours each day (including 20 minutes of required break time) to complete the assigned keystones at the highest level possible.

This season of The Great Push brings with it a series of new changes for competitors:

Group Compositions are now locked, teams are required to have 1 tank, 1 healer, and 3 DPS in each group.
Dungeon Distribution is now spread out to follow a 3/2/1 schedule. Day 1 will introduce 3 dungeons, Day 2 will introduce 2 more dungeons, and Day 3 will introduce the final dungeon.
Team Feeds are now available! Each team is mandated to have at least one competitor stream their gameplay during the Tournament.
The Global Finals will be keeping the competition alive all weekend, as daily eliminations have been removed. All six teams will survive until the last second!

Comment by arison255great, they need to reduce the tanks abilities to self sustain and they won't need to "require" a healer.Comment by WchrIt will be a festival of diversity of team composition. Oh, wait...Comment by CravensI am so hyped about this! MDI is so fun to watch!Comment by GoblinaireI was going to watch this, but it looks like it conflicts with my plans to watch paint dry.Comment by greenmachine1123great, they need to reduce the tanks abilities to self sustain and they won't need to "require" a healer.Comment by PhaelienIt's easy to say that if only healing was balanced they wouldn't need to require a healer, but if only it were that simple.
On my Holy Priest, I'd prefer it if nobody had defencives aside from the tank so that I can control the flow of the fight without worrying about the guy that didn't pop defencives because it hurt their DPS.
On my Hunter, if you take my defencives I'm going to be mad because now I can't adjust for a poor or overworked healer, and my ability to complete solo delves will be massively diminished.

There is no single answer, they're just going to have to tweak things over time and see how it goes.Comment by harulezHow many great pushes do they need to get the poop out?Comment by KerathrasThey really need to change the name for this event… makes it sound like someone is recovering from a severe bout of constipation.Comment by ZenrilSoMlets see, vengeance demon hunter...resto druid...aug...frost mage...shadow priest? did i guess right? what do i winComment by MaskPrepatch July 23, right after this tournament ends?Comment by BiMaBiI was going to watch this, but it looks like it conflicts with my plans to watch paint dry.Comment by WildmuffinLet's all hear what bull&*!@ Tettles is gonna say this time. Can't wait !Comment by ThereckNo one cares. This will have record low viewership. Blizz needs to learn that letting the meta remain stale in a dungeon set we've already done is a recipe for disaster.

Df launch was seriously amazing, but L after L, tier after tier. Yikes.Comment by psz90Lol requiring a healer so dumb blizz healers are for losers you should just make Aug required too you clownsComment by cpuriA great push in the literal last 4 weeks of the xpax really seems like a waste of the prize money. Who cares?

Do it 8 weeks later, so people might learn something for the new dungeons and see what meta the next xpax brings.Comment by Thereckgreat, they need to reduce the tanks abilities to self sustain and they won't need to "require" a healer.Comment by BrimzI still cant believe how streamers dont burn out after 3 weeks into a new season doing absolutely the same dungeons with same people with same key levels with slightly different affixes.
I mean other reason to not burn out than the obvious "I need to stream to get money to pay the bills but nothing to do except m+" reason.
Theyve been doing 19-20-21s, whats the diff doing it on stream vs stream at Great Push?Comment by rockforceLol at the effect they added to Xyro's glassesComment by WeezullAs if teams would do 21s without a healer. The no-healer rule is for MDI, highlighting it for TGP is quite strange.Comment by Certifiedbest funniest thing about TGP so far is the naowh phub ban ngl xD
