EnVyUs took out COGnitive Gaming to win the 2016 Smite Xbox World Championship earlier today—a month after switching platforms from PC.
The team, consisting of jungler Kurt “Weak3n” Schray, Jarod “CycloneSpin” Nguyen, support Ismael “KikiSoCheeky” Torres, Ryan “Omega” Johnson, and David “Allied” Hance, dominated the competition. They won the best-of-five series in a straight 3-0 sweep, taking home $75,000.
The Smite World Championships is being held at the Cobb Energy Centre in Atlanta, and started on Jan. 7.
The PC grand finals between Enemy and Epsilon is happening right now on the Smite Twitch channel. The total prize pool is $1 million, with the winner taking home $500,000.
Smite was released for Xbox One on Aug. 19 last year—more than a year after being released for PC.
