Team Liquid takes on the Race to World First: Curse of Ula'tek, on the back of four consecutive wins for North America.
 

SUMMARY

  • Team Liquid is gunning for an unprecedented fifth straight Race to World First title, a feat no team has ever pulled off, this time in World of Warcraft: Midnight Season 2, streamed live from the Alienware Training Facility in Los Angeles. 
  • Team Liquid's owned and operated broadcast of the event drew 22M+ live views earlier this Spring, and this summer Race will likely be even bigger through increased support from sponsors Alienware, AMD, and Blacklyte.

Beginning today, Team Liquid kicks off the Race to World First: Curse of Ula'tek with incredible momentum on their side. Fresh off four consecutive Race to World First (RWF) victories, the Liquid Guild now have their sights on their fifth in a row, cementing this roster amongst the most dominant competitors of all time.

 

With Patch 12.1 introducing Curse of Ula'tek and kicking off Midnight Season 2, guilds around the world are gearing up for the long road ahead. Race becomes a marathon test of endurance, focus, and adaptability as teams spend countless hours exploring strategies, analyzing every pull, and push through setbacks in pursuit of a world-first finish. Success in the Race to World First demands more than skill alone – fans will witness firsthand the dedication and stamina required to dominate at the highest level of World of Warcraft.

At the center of the spotlight is Team Liquid, a team that has helped define the modern Race to World First era. Through years of elite competition, championship-caliber performances, and a commitment to pushing the game to its limits, Team Liquid has become synonymous with the intensity and prestige of the race itself. Whether you're a longtime WoW player, a dedicated TL supporter, or simply someone who loves seeing World of Warcraft hit the front page - this is an event that demands attention.

 

What makes Team Liquid's Race to World First so special for us at Alienware, isn't just what happens inside the raid instance, we get to be a part of the planning and chaos that goes into producing a live gaming event of this magnitude.

 

As one of the largest self-produced team events in gaming, Team Liquid transforms the race into a true facility-wide broadcast experience, combining expert analysis, player cams, roaming interviews, replays and breakdowns, and around-the-clock coverage. The result is a production that gives fans a inside look at every breakthrough, setback, and hard-fought boss kill as Liquid battle for the first clear.
 

Alienware is proud to expand our commitment to Team Liquid and the World of Warcraft community as we become the event's title sponsor. Helping to bring an operation of this scale to life requires more than talent and preparation. It demands technology that can keep pace with the grueling demands of this marathon. From gameplay and footage of the 20+ players chasing world-first kills, to the production teams delivering every frame and caster call to viewers around the globe, delivering the performance and capturing the biggest moments matter.

 

That's why, to exceed Team Liquid's competitive demands and production needs, we armed them with over thirty of our latest Alienware Area-51 desktop towers, powered by AMD Ryzen™ 9 9950X3D processors. Alienware’s flagship desktop equipped with the ultimate gaming CPU helps provide the speed, responsiveness, and reliability needed when the stakes are insanely high, both in-game and IRL behind the cameras.

It will be supported by the technology helping power one of esports' most ambitious self-produced live operations. We can't wait to watch Team Liquid take on Curse of Ula'tek, and we hope you'll join us in chat for every pull along the way.
