The Race to World First in WoW is the competition where top guilds try to clear the newest raid on Mythic difficulty before anyone else, and the “standings” are simply the live progress rankings of those guilds as they work through the raid. Current coverage sources track those standings through progress apps and raid-progress pages rather than one official Blizzard leaderboard.

What the standings mean

  • Guilds are ranked by how far they have progressed in the current raid.
  • A guild’s position can change quickly after every boss kill.
  • The standings usually show boss kills, percentages on bosses, and phase progress.

Where people track it

  • Method’s raid-progress page follows live Mythic RWF standings.
  • RWF.GG is built as a live tracking app for the race.
  • Other guides and news posts explain that the event happens every time a new raid tier opens and is followed as a prestige competition.

Common top guilds

The standings often feature guilds such as Team Liquid, Echo, Method, and other high-end raid teams, with rankings shifting as the race unfolds. In recent coverage, those guilds were still among the main names being tracked.

In plain English

If you’re asking “who’s winning right now?”, the answer depends on the current raid tier and the live progress page you’re checking. The standings are not a permanent all-time ladder; they reset with each new raid race.
