TO CROWN THE BEST OF THE BEST

Race to World First is an annual World of Warcraft (WoW) tournament, which sees top guilds from around the world compete against each other to become the first group to complete each new expansion of the game. Waveform was hired to broadcast the ComplexityLimit Guild’s attempt at being ‘World First’ to complete the new end of game raid in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.
