How To Watch The SMITE 2 Founder's Series Las Vegas Tournament Finals
SMITE 2 has officially gone free-to-play which marks the biggest step in its journey towards replacing SMITE 1 completely. One key component that has helped SMITE 1 retain its diehard and passionate fan base is its esports scene. SMITE 2 has wasted no time in getting its esports scene started.
The SMITE 2 Founder's Series started all the way back in September when the game was still in a closed alpha and only players who purchased a founder's pack could play the game. It's been a multi-phased competitive experience with open brackets, pool play, and more, which has culminated in its upcoming finals in Las Vegas.
