RWF VOTI: Chinese Guilds Enter the Race
Chinese guilds have entered the Vault of the Incarnates Race to World First. Curious about the guilds involved and where to watch? This article will get you up to date!
Update since Sepulcher
In the last RWF event, Sepulcher of the First Ones, Skyline claimed World Third. The second Chinese favorite, Aster, disbanded for various reasons. Most ex-Aster raiders have joined different teams to pursue higher ranks.
The Chinese region has a one-day disadvantage on raid releasing, as their reset is on Thursdays. Despite this disadvantage, CN claimed five of the top 10 spots in Sepulcher of the First Ones. They feel more prepared than ever for the first Dragonflight raid, Vault of the Incarnates.
Blizzard leaving China
On November 17th, as all CN guilds are preparing for the new expansion, Activision Blizzard Entertainment and NetEase released official statements announcing that their 14-year-long cooperation was coming to an end.
The CN WoW scene was immediately plunged into the darkest moment. As CN players, that means their WoW life with Azeroth is only likely to last another month. For the guilds participating in the RWF event, this means Vault of the Incarnates is likely to be their “last dance”. We are excited to see what they can pull off.
Skyline
Skyline is ranked World 3rd in Sepulcher of the First Ones, right behind Echo and Method. Their excellent performance has brought them this far, and they are the best guild in CN. There have been few roster changes for Dragonflight, but notable additions are MDI Champion healer 小太阳, and ex-Aster player 二细.
Ji Tian Hong (佶天鸿)
Ji Tian Hong ranked World 6th in Sepulcher of the First Ones. They have had some roster changes going into Dragonflight, mainly picking up a lot of ex-Aster players. For Vault of the Incarnates, they are running an in-house raid and going for top 3 world.
Huo Guo Chao Jie (火锅超界)
Chao Jie (超界) was ranked World 8th in Sepulcher of the First Ones. Since then, they have found a new sponsor, 火锅英雄, and renamed to 火锅超界 (Huo Guo Chao Jie). They have recruited 5 ex-Aster players, and 赵日天 and 非洲鸡 from 金陵世家.

Zhi Xu Qi Huang (秩序七煌)
Zhi Xu Qi Huang ranked World 9th in Sepulcher of the First Ones. They had just broken up with Alpha (阿尔法) and their World 9th rank was better than expected. For Dragonflight, they've recruited healer Fyu from Aster, among other top raiders.
Jue Shi (绝世)
Jue Shi is the World 1st Alliance guild, and 13th overall, in Sepulcher of the First Ones. They are back trying to defend their title as a top alliance guild.
