Killing Painsmith on the last possible tile in the room actually is kinda a glory in itself.
the race between US & EU is very strange because it's believed that KT and Sylvanas will be killed next reset, basically meaning that US get a head start, going into the final two bosses, also its not as simple to say echo just needs to kill the boss within the time difference, because that difference also includes experience learnt watching Limit go through the bosses, I'm hoping for Echo to win though, that would be hype!
