And in a big way too, with a combined prize pool of $50,000 AUD up for grabs. Plus, the best SMITE and Paladins teams will then travel to Atlanta, Georgia in January 2018 to compete in the world championships at Hi-Rez Expo. Very cool. The PAX Arena will play host to all the action as the top four teams from SMITE and Paladins Oceania leagues battle live in front of an eager crowd.

"We love coming to Australia, and this will be the second time Hi-Rez has been to PAX Australia. We’re excited to bring the finals of the SMITE Oceania Pro League and Paladins Global Series Oceania to the fans, and proud to have our finals in the home of sport in Australia, Melbourne," said Steven “HiRezCooper” Cooper, Hi-Rez Esports Manager.
