The TzekHaar Front World's First Race

We have a winner!

Last week we launched a competition to see who would be the first to complete the front on Hard Mode - flawlessly. Hey, we know you all like a serious challenge.

Well congratulations are in order: give a round of applause to the amazing Lady Elisa! Slaying the champion of the Fight Kiln is no mean feat at the best of times, and you did it impeccably. We'll be in touch shortly about your prize.

Thanks to all of you who raced to reach this red-hot milestone. Your combat skills are truly scorching!
