Esports organization Echo, known for their dominance in World of Warcraft's world first raid scene, has set their sights on Eorzea. In a recent announcement, Echo revealed their partnership with Neverland, a powerhouse FFXIV raiding team. This powerhouse pairing is poised to make waves in the upcoming FFXIV: Dawntrail world first race.

Neverland isn't new to the world first stage. They've consistently placed highly in past races, even achieving a world first clear in the Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate) raid. Their experience and skill are a perfect match for Echo's strategic prowess and drive for competition.

This collaboration marks a significant moment for FFXIV's competitive raiding scene. Echo's entry brings a well-established esports organization with a proven track record. Their involvement injects a shot of excitement and potentially elevates the profile of FFXIV world races.

Adding another layer of intrigue, Echo plans to stream their entire FFXIV raid progression live – a rarity in the FFXIV world first community. This transparency offers a unique opportunity for viewers to witness the strategies, teamwork, and (undoubtedly) the occasional meltdown that goes into conquering savage content at the bleeding edge.

The stage is set for July 30th, when patch 7.05 drops and the race for world first in the new Arcadian (Savage) raid series commences. With Echo and Neverland united, the competition is sure to be fierce. One thing's for certain – FFXIV fans won't want to miss this!
