Mortality eSports SMITE Team had a busy  week in the Hirez Studios' SMITE Pro League (SPL).

The SWC crowd-funding campaigns have already been successful in reaching the $1,000,000 mark while the overall prize pool increases daily. For more information on the recent reach of the $1,000,000 goals, check out our sister company, SMITECentral's article.
