Hi-Rez Studios has revealed the teams participating in its restructured SMITE and Paladins professional leagues.

Participating organizations include Natus Vincere, Virtus.pro, SK Gaming, Dignitas, Splyce, and more.

Each team in the Paladins Premier League will be a long-term franchise partner.

Developer Hi-Rez Studios has announced the teams for its revamped SMITE and Paladins professional leagues. Last year, the studio announced it was eliminating its regional leagues for both games, moving each game to a single multi-region league organized by its esports subsidiary Skillshot Media.

The selected teams for each league are as follows:

Paladins Premier League

Natus Vincere

Pittsburgh Knights

Ninjas in Pyjamas

Spacestation Gaming

Renegades

Virtus.pro

Kanga Esports

Team Envy

SMITE Pro League

Splyce

eUnited

Spacestation Gaming

SK Gaming

Trifecta

Pittsburgh Knights

Renegades

Team Rival

Dignitas

Luminosity

Matches in both leagues will take place in-person at the Skillshot Media Studio in Alpharetta, Georgia, with all teams either moving to the area or commuting to the studio. This structure is similar to the current iteration of the Overwatch League, in which all matches are held live at the Blizzard Arena in Los Angeles, California.
