The second raid of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight—Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible—is here, which means the game’s best players will be participating in another edition of WoW’s most prominent and prestigious esports event: the Race to World First.
In this raid tier, the top guilds in WoW will buckle up for what’s likely to be a heated battle, with the race being more open for new competitors to slide up the ranks, particularly once you look past the top two teams in the world. Beyond heavyweights Liquid and Echo—the latter of whom are gunning for their fourth-straight RWF title—the field of competitors is more closely stacked than it’s been coming into recent races.
