Day two of the Hi-Rez Expo is finished and dusted. With it, came a whole lot of epic esports actions as we edged ever closer to the conclusion of SMITE and Paladins motion for an additional 12 months. ESI has supplied a temporary recap occasion-by-event of what occurred, including some notable esports announcements.
This yr, the event options 4 esports events - with three world championship titles on the road. There’s two in SMITE, and one in Paladins and a lot of cash and prestige on the road in each titles. You possibly can read more about the overall occasion in our complete preview. The entire motion is going down at DreamHack Atlanta as HRX expands this year. Day two saw the Semifinals across SMITE. Paladins in preparation for the tremendous Sunday Grand Final showdowns. Full day VODS for each SMITE. Paladins will be discovered on the hyperlinks.
Day two noticed two clear sweeps within the semifinals providing us with a really particular Grand Final. NA 2nd seed Splyce had been yet again dominant as they brushed aside EU first seed Dignitas 3-0. On the opposite aspect of the bracket, EU fourth seed Workforce Rival dominated the conquerors of final year’s champions, Trifecta, to make the ultimate. It’s a NA versus European last however it’s removed from the match-up that anybody expected coming into the weekend.
By this time tomorrow, SMITE may have a new champion. It was far from the end result that anyone expected, however that’s what has made this SMITE World Championship simply so epic. Going into the tournament no one would have given either of those teams a chance of successful - but now they’re both just one sport away from creating SMITE history.
Over on SMITE console, we had NA 2nd seed Flash Point eSports take on EU’s last hope Crew Rival. Whereas Group RivaL did their finest to fight Flash Level, it was not to be because the EU side crashed out 2-0, meaning irrespective of who wins between Flash Point and Astral Authority in Sunday’s Grand Last, the title will be heading again to NA and the winner shall be coming from the Xbox community.
Day two noticed Paladins shift over to a finest-of-seven format as the tournament headed into the all-important semifinals. Game one saw Na’Vi take on Fnatic with the current holders Na’vi taking the collection in a fairly convincing 4-1 vogue which means the EU first seed will stand strong in tomorrows ultimate and have the opportunity to defend their Paladins World Championship title. On the opposite side of the bracket, we had a a lot closer collection. NA first seed Team Envy took on Brazilian aspect Spacestation Gaming and it went to the wire, however, the NA side managed to just about edge the series, despite it going the full size (4-3) and thus have set up the predicted ultimate of an EU versus NA top seed contest. Can Natus Vincere retain their title or will Envy handle to snag it?
The Console Wars’ ultimate is certain to be tasty at DreamHack Atlanta, with Elevate taking the second semi-closing the complete distance as they came away 3-2 winners. They have now arrange a Grand Closing matchup with Vexed Gaming to see who wins the 2018 Console Wars on Paladins.
