The first Paladins Invitational will be held this January at Hi-Rez Expo in Atlanta, Georgia, when teams will compete for $150,000. Despite comparisons to other character-based shooters Paladins has been a success for Hi-Rez, even sitting as one of Steam's Top 10 games by current players for a bit.

“The Paladins Open Beta had an explosive first weekend with well over 100,000 new accounts created in the first 24 hours”,  said Todd Harris, Hi-Rez Studios co-founder and COO. “We’ve also seen a very strong interest in Paladins from competitive players and esports organizations worldwide and are therefore extending the Paladins Invitational to include more regions and more teams”

8 teams from around the world will compete, and the tournament will be broadcast live. But if you're near Atlanta or plan on traveling for the event you can purchase tickets by visiting the Hi-Rez Expo website.
