We have waited, and waited, and waited some more, but the
Castle Nathria Race to World First (RWF) is finally upon us! Even with the Covid-19 pandemic throwing a damper on many guild’s plans, this is shaping up to be the biggest and most exciting RWF yet. We are especially excited to have partnered with the many guilds and organizations world-wide who are putting on RWF events, to provide them with seamless raid and character data integration.
It is easy to lose track with so many different events going on, so we have compiled a RWF Event Guidebook, complete with all of the details you’ll need to tune in and watch your favourite guilds race for raiding glory. In addition to this Guidebook, everything you need to keep up with the RWF is right here at Raider.IO. Keep that browser tab open for
live global coverage, updates, insights, and more!
Here are the details for all of the events we are partnered with, and more around the world, sorted by world rankings in Ny’alotha.

Boasting almost the entirety of the BFA raiding roster of multi-WF-champions Method, new guild Echo is going to be a force to reckon with!
A powerhouse and long-time staple of the EU raiding scene,
Pieces is set to make a splash in Castle Nathria by hosting their own event!
Coming in World 4th during Ny’alotha, Swedish guild FatSharkYes will not be hosting their own event, but will be providing their streams and PoVs for the
OTK Network RWF Roundtable Event!
The top ranked guild from the China region, Ji Tian Hong finished Ny'alotha at the 5th spot worldwide. They will not be hosting an event, but if you want to watch their progress, here are a couple of stream links of their players:
Coming in at the 6th rank worldwide in Ny'alotha was another Chinese guild: Alpha. We were able to get stream links of a couple of their players for you, as they are opting to not host an event for Castle Nathria.
Rounding out the big-name guilds from the China region is Skyline. This 7th place team from Ny'alotha is looking to make waves in Castle Nathria. We are especially excited to watch their progress, which will take place from an esports specific hotel in Chengdu. Check out
this amazing video from
NasDa of the hotel where the players will be raiding together from!
You can watch their progress from this incredible hotel on these streams:
Russian guild Exorsus is set to wow us once again with their innovative strats while they battle through Castle Nathria in the Race to World First!
German guild Aversion is primed and ready to improve their world rank this tier. They are headed back to the TakeTV Studio while they battle their way through Castle Nathria (following proper covid precautions of course!) to put on a German-language event with a great lineup of casters and talent. Be sure to tune in and wish them viel glück!
Big things are on the horizon for BDGG. Formerly known as Big Dumb Guild, the team got signed on with esports organization
Golden Guardians since Ny'alotha. So far, their event is looking to be one of epic proportions, so be sure to check it out!

One of the longest-running top-end raiding guilds in the NA region, Midwinter has opted to not host an event for Castle Nathria, but will instead also be providing their streams and PoVs to the team over at the
OTK Network RWF Roundtable Event!
Keep your eyes out for Lazarus Imperative! Previously known as Imperative, this NA guild was also signed on with an esports organization since the end of Ny'alotha. Joining forces with
Lazarus Esports to become Lazarus Imperative, this is a guild to watch. Boasting some names that have been a part of the WoW raiding scene for as long as we can remember, and newer ones ready to take their place in the spotlight, we are expecting a great event from the team in pink!

We were thrilled when the formation of the OTK Network was first announced, and even more excited when they revealed they were putting on a variety-type Roundtable Event for the Castle Nathria Race to World First!
