Camelot Kings

 is a team participating in the Smite Pro League. The team is owned and operated by Hi-Rez Studios.

History
The Camelot Kings formed ahead of Season 8 of the SPL in February 2021, alongside seven other teams managed directly by Hi-Rez. The initial roster consisted of Variety, CaptainTwig, BigManTingz, Genetics, and Netrioid.

2021 Season
The 2021 Season did not have a good start for the Camelot Kings. The Coronavirus Pandemic, which was still in full force at the time, made the Smite Pro League go from a LAN league into an Online league. The Pandemic made travel very hard if not impossible for some smite players. While not affected as harshly as the Oni Warriors or Valhalla Valkyries, the Camelot Kings were affected. BigManTingz and Genetics would not be able to come to the United States due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. Despite this setback, the Camelot Kings were able to do well in the spring season, coming in at 3rd seed. Unfortunately, they would lose at the Group Stage and would not qualify for the Phase 1 Playoffs Tournament. During the summer season, the Camelot Kings would come in at 1st seed but would come 3-4th place at the Phase 2 Playoffs Tournament. During the Fall season, the team would come in at 3rd seed but 2nd seed at the Phase 3 Playoffs Tournament. In between the end of the Fall season but before the start of the Playoffs Tournament, the team would announce that the group will soon meet up in LAN. BigManTingz and Genetics would leave together for the USA. With the team together, their sights were set on winning the Smite World Championship. Due to their 2nd place victory at the Phase 3 Playoffs Tournament, they were automatically placed at the Semifinals. Their opponent would be the Atlantis Leviathans. Despite losing, the Camelot Kings were the only team who would take a game from the Atlantis Leviathans, ruining their almost perfect Worlds run.

2022 Season
The 2022 season would be a better season for the Camelot Kings. One notable change was that BigManTingz was no longer in America but in Europe. While a reason was never formally announced, Visa issues are most likely the culprit. Regardless, the Camelot Kings were fine with the arrangement because BigManTingz was the least affected by ping out of all the players with ping issues. He played well enough regardless of the high ping and would arrive in time for the Summer Masters tournament. During the spring season, the Camelot Kings would be the 5th seed team. During the Spring Masters Tournament, the Camelot King would end up finishing 2nd. During the Summer season, the Camelot Kings would transition into a very powerful team. Out of the 14 matches the Camelot Kings played, they would only lose 2 matches. This would earn them the first seed. During the Summer Masters Tournament, the team would still look pretty powerful. However, they would once again end up finishing 2nd. Coming into the fall split, the Camelot Kings were still a strong team. However, they had a weakness to the Jade Dragons and the Atlantis Leviathans. Beyond those two teams, the Camelot Kings would have a loss against the Valhalla Valkyries. The team, while performing very well, thought things should change. While many fans thought Captaintwig was underperforming, the Camelot Kings thought that the change they should make was to their ADC. So, on November 16th, the Camelot Kings announced that Netrioid would be dropped from the roster, and Jarcorrr would be picked up. This would shock the community as the Camelot Kings seemed to have meshed well as a team, no one would have expected for them to kick someone so close to the playoffs for World's seeding. Yet, this change would prove to be fruitful. Their next game against the Atlantis Leviathans would result in the Kings stopping the winstreak that the Atlantis Leviathans were on. Their last game against the Tartarus Titans would give the kings a much-needed confidence boost that this was the right decision. While not enough time has passed to confirm whether the Camelot Kings' call to kick Netrioid was correct or not, they are coming into Playoffs as a more confident team.
