The regional champions of SMITE’s Oceania League will be awarded the largest cash prize in Aussie Esports history at PAX Aus, taking a share of a $65,000 prize pool and also securing a spot at the World Championships in Atlanta in January.

Four teams will battle it out on the ESL Esports stage 31 October with seeding as follows;

  • Avant Garde (Pro League 1st)
  • Dire Wolves (Pro League 2nd)
  • SYF Gaming (Challenger Cup 1st)

Hi-Rez Studios will also be bringing its new game Paladins to PAX Aus for fans to try.

PAX Aus runs from 30 October to 1 November in Melbourne.
