Community first - the foundation of the Race to World First

The Race to World First is and has always been extremely close to our hearts at Method, we would not exist without it. Method has been actively participating in the race for 14 years and it is our honour to be able to once again create an event to celebrate the spectacle. The Race to World First has always been a community driven initiative and we at Method want to ensure that this tradition is maintained. We are taking continual steps to involve more top guilds and more of the community in the race.

Scott McMillan, Method Co-owner, Co-founder:

 Through the trials and tribulations of organising the RWF event I couldn’t be more thrilled to announce that we will be working alongside TakeTV, well known for their community events within Blizzard games. We will have a fully customised venue and significantly improved production, offering perspectives never previously possible, which we are very excited to show you guys! Involving other raiding guilds in the event has always been a goal for us and we are happy to be able to take the first steps here while beginning to work on a longer-term concept for the future. Almost half the Method guild will be on location, including most of the MDI EU team. We will have some surprises for you in the next few days regarding the last 3 mystery raid members that will be at the studio! I am overjoyed to welcome back so many of the great casting talent and introduce promising new faces. With the support of the community, I am confident that this will be the biggest and greatest RWF event yet.

Shanna Sarr, Method General Manager:

With the meteoric rise in interest and support for the Race to World First, I was challenged with once again putting together the most dynamic and talented casting desk possible for the Race. Besides tried-and-true raider royalty like Treckie, and class specialist Moofzy, I’m excited to welcome talent outside of the traditional raiding scene. Bringing in experienced professional hosts from other esports like Hearthstone, Fortnite, and the AWC may seem like a surprise to people, but each one of them is a massive World of Warcraft enthusiast and they will be a big asset to the show. I cannot wait for the race to start!

David Kugelmann, TakeTV COO

Broadcasting the progress of Azshara's Eternal Palace from our studio is a match made in heaven: Competitive gaming on the highest level combined with the relaxed atmosphere of our studio is a perfect fit.
