The World of Warcraft Race to World has returned, featuring Nerub-ar Palace for The War Within. Here’s who’s winning the race, who the bosses are, and how to watch the Race to World First Nerub-ar Palace.
The WoW Race to World First Nerub-ar Palace started on Sept. 17 and will run until a team takes down the final boss. Each time a new expansion is released, like The War Within, sponsors and organizations pool efforts to put on the Race to World event.

Guilds from all over the globe are competing in the event, with team guilds like Echo seeking a repeat win. Other guilds to watch are Team Liquid, who have finished in the top three during the past two Race to World events, and Method.
