Chance of winning over $1 million in the SMITE World Championship Prize Pool.
It's becoming more intense. Smite was released from beta seven months back, and the first World Championships have a prize pool exceeding a million dollars. Only four gaming series have reached that amount; it makes sense that the third-largest MOBA is among them. Smite is indeed a MOBA, but it differs from traditional ones like DOTA—it originated as a mod of Hi-Rez Studio's Third Person Shooter Global Agenda. This setup gives it a more dynamic feel, with greater action and control, making it more approachable for many players. In Smite, every hero or champion is referred to as a god. That’s because you embody the deities of ancient myths. As the link mentions: "The Smite World Championships (SWC) prize pool just surpassed $1 million after community members contributed over $400,000. This level of tournament scale and support highlights how far Hi-Rez Studios has developed the third-person MOBA since its launch." I’ve played Smite extensively now, and I genuinely enjoy every part of it.
That's quite a lot for the game. Interesting, right? Probably a nice surprise.
I'm just starting to hear about it. Even based on your dp, I don't think you're surprised by this comment.
No, Dota wasn't a mod for StarCraft. It was a separate game developed by Valve Corporation.
