How pro WoW team Mandatory broke the record for fastest dungeon ever during MDI 2023

Mandatory, the runners-up at the WoW Dragonflight 2023 Mythic Dungeon International, pulled off one of the most unfathomable runs of the tournament when they broke the all-time record for the fastest dungeon ever. Their run of the Ruby Life Pools in the lower bracket finals was completed in just eight minutes and 54 seconds, making it the fastest dungeon ever run in MDI history. Here’s how they pulled it off. 

Mandatory came into their run with a time to beat of nine minutes and 16 seconds, which was set by another team, Perplexed, earlier in the weekend. Although the record was an aspiration, winning the match at hand against Legendary was a front-of-mind goal for Mandatory. The two teams came into the dungeon with identical team compositions: Protection Warrior, Discipline Priest, Feral Druid, Fire Mage, and Unholy Death Knight. The affixes for the run were Fortified, Spiteful, Grievous and Thundering, while the keystone level was set to +20.
