I told myself this video would be 40 minutes max... how'd that turn out Thank you to everyone who watches this - these videos are a lot of work but I just love sharing smite memories with those who weren't here to see it first time round. Hope you all enjoy it, and I love you all. PEACE

[@lip2190]

You’re awesome man. These were the good days.

[@ManoloElCerdo]

I wasn't into the pro league back then, it's good to know there's a place to find these

[@kviinto]

19:00 official recording of super chronos 64 voice pack

[@BettySmite]

LOL lets be real super chronos 64 is better quality than that

[@damienbacon2019]

Lmfaooo

[@gregwhitlock5182]

Lmao

[@jamesconfrey9117]

My son "Kevin Confrey" made me so proud, when Titan did all the great stuff " they won EU. and number 2 at worlds". I will never forget those games against sk gaming, and cog prime. My god, those memories will never go away. My wife and i , were so happy. Thank you Kev, and thank you Titan. "RIP Allied, you were a great Smite Player, we miss you."

[@BettySmite]

That's awesome to read, even now all these years later titan are still very fondly remembered as one of the greatest cinderella stories, and confrey was a huge part of that.

[@xmelseru]

man i forgot about the aquila vs cloud 9 game, that might be one of the best comebacks of all time in smite pro history, what a game

[@adityarizkyandana7129]

Everyone remember mlc scylla on the final game. But damn mlc was monster the whole tournament, no doubt mvp for him

[@ViolenVaymire]

Right!? I was practically screaming at the screen for that MLC Scylla ban xD Like genuinely blows my mind that it got through as much as it did.

[@Sahken]

seeing allied again, made me sad :( I miss him

[@kmhuey1]

Man that brought back some memories. Stealth was absolutely insane this tourney.

[@grizzlygaming801]

Honestly watching this back.. MLC gets a ton of welldeserved credit but barra wasw fking nuts as well jeeezz D:

[@billygeorge8293]

Awesome content dude. Would love to see a recap of Dreamhack Valencia where the new Dig team won. The grand finals vs Rival was amazing.

[@BettySmite]

yeah that was an excellent lan, will look into it!

[@TheDeathOrange]

that ares solo set? my favourite set i’ve ever watched i would absolutely love this

[@darkredsrevenge6154]

Bart: Incredible commentator and actually paying attention to abilities and active usage Dm: *constant weasel screeching*

[@drewkavi6327]

honestly dm was pretty good, atleast in my opinion, he is shitty human but imo a quality commentator for smite, though not as good as bart i'll grant you that

[@matthewvaughn3467]

Man being in that arena was some of the most exciting shit in my life. That weekend was better than any con I've ever gone too, it's such a shame that things changed up and this doesn't really happen like this anymore. Then again, this was before every skin was in a loot box.

[@ephraim363]

i hugely regret not being there. but i wasn’t even into Smite at the time, so what can u do

[@TheCsquared08]

You continue to outdo yourself on these, man. As for other ideas beyond just chronicling Worlds, what about an analysis of teams of sorts for each season? It doesn't have to be especially in-depth, but I think it'd be a nice way to track player movement as the seasons have gone on.

[@BettySmite]

thanks dude, really appreciate it. will definitely think about something like that!

[@ceykai1357]

That Kali finish at the beginning was absolutely beautiful 🤩

[@aldercyng7287]

Its hard to believe that now only one member of Cog Prime still plays on the SPL.

[@patrickmacasaet3493]

Make that 1 out of both these teams I believe

[@omukssbm]

And now 0 🙁

[@philiphenry68]

1:27:35 that "om nom nom nom nom..." quote from Bart got me laughing so hard!

[@BettySmite]

HERE COMES THE DRAGON

[@Telshor]

Betty I love the content you make for smite and revitalize the nostalgia and bring a new light to it. Thank you for bringing backs these memories. Keep it up

[@BettySmite]

Really appreciate the support. ❤️

[@WillCarter1976]

The coolest part of the first SWC was after the finals when they made the mistake of asking barraccudda what he was going to do with his share of the prize and he happily answered: "buy lots of drugs!" At that moment I knew the SWC and Hi-Rez was never going mainstream, lol.

[@Razinik44]

This was such a great watch. Would love summary videos of any other World Championships or Smite Tournaments. But the first one is quite special, of course.

[@BettySmite]

There's another one on the launch tournament on my channel somewhere! Thanks man, glad you enjoyed :)

[@zekken4515]

This was so good, I kinda wish you would do one for every season, but I know that would be a lot.

[@aaronolson3217]

19:42 Allied using a smash term “John” reminds me of him doing well in smite, and smash Brawl. We miss you Allied! #AlliedStrong #AlliedStrong #AlliedStrong #AlliedStrong

[@Benny3939]

Wow this is such quality content! A literal documentary. Keep up the great work. :)

Fantastic video. I have to pause at around an hour, but very well put together. ty

[@Ceris2]

Nice work. Can't wait to watch this

[@BettySmite]

I went to this, had front row tickets and everything. Was a lot of fun. Ah, the memories.

[@batectazo7880]

What a great great video! Amazing

Awesome vid, reminds me of the good old days when I was young

[@rikb380]

thanks man, took me bloody long enough! glad you enjoyed :)

[@damor7337]

Snoopy was a beast. Great content.

[@IlanAs08]

I hope you do this to other world championships, because i personally don't know any. Really loved it. What did hog used to do ? Because it looks like it's used a lot and on other gods as well.

[@keepitonthedl7058]

Stealth was NASTY with that Scylla

[@Altcor]

wow. GoldenBoy, Dry Bear, Hayden Christiansen and Alli3d as commentators. it will never be the same.

[@heyassbutt7668]

[@keepitonthedl7058]

I'd love to see the best of Yammyn. Allegedly the best Smite player of all time. Unfortunately, I wasn't into Smite early enough to see him play

[@dairtobefalco52]

Glad you meantioned DaGarz’ dominant thor

That's a c9 if I've ever seen one ..

[@RoyDangerous]

Make more of this to the other swc

[@ericsnyder4592]

I'm 30 minutes into a 90 minute video and have been told to go watch a best of 3 smite tournament first? Don't mind if I do, it's not like I have a test tomorrow or anything.

[@TONYchicago1111]

I remember watching this live. 2 reminders this gave me....drybears forehead was ginormous...and omega was such a douchebag

[@Redshirt007]

Does anyone else hear FTL music at 10:19 ?

[@therealPayne]

Titan coming AAAAAAAALL this way, so far...only to lose the final game on the picks and bans screen. Sad.

[@giggusmaximus2167]

Omegatron and Andinster. My two favs of all time. So dominant in their roles that the rest of their team have free reign to do what they wanted. He DOMINATED divios who people were thinking was on his level. My god

[@skatatataatje]

Remember DMBrandon? lol

[@KeelinKidd]

15:07 ?????????

These vids are so amazing but man.. it really brings me back to how terrible dm Brandon really is

[@SN_TH_DRAM]

Dm is a stain on smite history

[@flyingkuma8235]

When smite actually tried to push into the esports seen and failed :'-(

[@BettySmite]

Well they do have a big esports studio now and moved all the players to America so I'd say it's doing OK...

[@flyingkuma8235]

@@BettySmite like I love smite I play that shit everyday dont get me wrong but there production level has fallen quite a bit. I want it to survive but I've accepted that it probably won't exist in 10 years unless they make a smite sequel

[@kristoferhailes4627]

@@flyingkuma8235 depends, if fills a niche so unless something similar comes out (first person MOBA) it should survive comfortably

[@fisharepeopletoo9653]

Man, I know smite has changed so much, but I can't hemp but watch this and think a team of randos today could take any of these teams lol. Everyone was really bad back then, even the best in the world were nowhere near the skill ceiling. Obviously, like I said things have changed and everyone has improved, but it really hurts to watch some of this play lol

[@georgemelissinos9128]

You're right but nothing matches the hype of these early worlds and nationals

[@yieldtome8454]

Honestly watching old pro games is just so cringy. Like the teamwork back then rivals that of today's top amateur teams. It's kinda gross, but good video nonetheless.

[@samotnick]

Best time of smite. In every aspect. Conquest map. Gods lineup. Item balance. Game pacing. No politics involved in skin design and no overprice on them. Pantheons with clear theme... +1 for legacy server!

[@brennanholliday8845]

I heard dmbrandon was a good commentator... I cant say i hate him (as a commentator).

[@clownbaby6882]

DM is such an awful caster ffs
