Smite World Championship is the annual world championship for the multiplayer online battle arena video game Smite.
From January 9–11, 2015 Hi-Rez Studios hosted the first Smite World Championship. Teams from North America, South America, Europe, and China traveled to Atlanta, Georgia for the tournament. The $2.6 million prize pool for the tournament was at the time the third-highest in eSports, behind the third and fourth iterations of Dota 2's The International, and just slightly ahead of the League of Legends World Championships. One of the North American teams, COGnitive Prime, took home the first place prize with a little over $1.3 million.
The 2016 iteration was held from January 7–10, 2016, and featured tournaments for both the PC and Xbox One versions of the game. The event was streamed on twitch.tv on the SMITE Game TV account. The total prize pool for the PC tournament was $1 million USD.
