SMITE World Championships Nearing, New Cinematic Trailer Released
Set to start on January 9th, the SMITE World Championships (SWC) are just days away. The top 8 teams will square off over a 3 day competition with the winner taking home over $1.2 million of the total $2.5 million prize pool. This prize pool continues to grow with each Odyssey purchase made by players, and eclipses League of Legends' 2014 World Championship prize pool.
To get players into the SWC action, Hi-Rez Studios has released a brand new cinematic trailer and will even be giving away free gems. Here's the requirements if you're looking to cash in on some free gems:
Retweets must be genuine from unique Twitter accounts. Multiple RTs from the same account do not count.
That type of money makes me really wish I had ANY MOBA talent at all. Good luck to all the teams competing!
