SK Gaming claimed the 2019 SMITE World Championship with a win over top-seeded Team RivaL at Dreamhack Atlanta 2019.

The road to the SMITE World Championship is very unique, as their placement tournament gives opportunities to teams from the Pro League, from the North American and European minor leagues, and even to console teams.

The top six teams from the Pro League went straight to the main event, meaning Team RivaL, Splyce, Renegades, Dignitas, Pittsburgh Knights, and eUnited had already qualified for Atlanta. Via the Placement tournament, SK Gaming and minor league team Sanguine Esports qualified for the final two spots.

Number one seed Team RivaL snuffed out the hopes of Sanguine and Dignitas with sweeps, while SK Gaming stunned Splyce and Renegades in series that went to maximum games to earn their grand finals spot. SK Gaming defeated RivaL 3-1 to claim the championship hammer.

Here's how the action went down...
