Hype Unit announced via their Twitter that they would represent the champions of the Smite Open Circuit’s first phase, Woogy and No Bloogys. The roster consists of Mollusk, MORWolves, Layerssss, GuyJ, and oBoronic, some of whom had already worked with the gaming organization.

The talented lineup has ample Smite experience. MORWolves, Layerssss, and oBoronic were all members of the 2019 Smite Console champion team, while Mollusk made a brief appearance in the Smite Pro League as a member of LG in 2019 in addition to many successes in the Smite Minor League. Their impressive run in the Smite Open Circuit qualifies them to compete in the Phase 1 Circuit Playoffs along with 5 teams from the Smite Challenger Circuit, which will take place online in April of 2020. This is the second team for Hype Unit this season; a previous roster including Uzzy and ElLeon disbanded after a poor beginning to the SOC.

Hype Unit has represented Smite rosters on both PC in the Smite Minor League and in the Console League in addition to maintaining a Paladins team. The choice to include Sanguine Esports instead of Hype Unit in the free Pro League slot was a point of contention for some in the Smite community. Their new roster may yet get them a spot at the World Championships come January.
