How Is EGN Related to SmiteGuru and PaladinsGuru?

Updated

EGN (Evolution Gaming Network) is the umbrella network that lists SmiteGuru, PaladinsGuru, BestServers, Jinxxy, and Cruis among its associated sites. In practice, SmiteGuru and PaladinsGuru are game-specific destinations within that network: SmiteGuru covers SMITE, PaladinsGuru covers Paladins, and EGN is the shared brand name that ties those game sites together. The relationship is a parent-network-and-project one, not a merger of separate companies described on the page.

What the EGN page actually shows

The EGN site identifies itself as "EGN - Evolution Gaming Network" and presents a compact list of linked properties: SmiteGuru, PaladinsGuru, BestServers, Jinxxy, and Cruis, plus a contact address. That list is the clearest evidence of the relationship — the game sites appear as network properties rather than as independent brands.

Name Role in the EGN listing What it suggests
EGN Network name and host Umbrella brand for the listed sites
SmiteGuru Listed property SMITE-focused site in the network
PaladinsGuru Listed property Paladins-focused site in the network
BestServers Listed property Server-related tool or listing
Jinxxy Listed property Separate project under the same network
Cruis Listed property Separate project under the same network

The page does not spell out ownership structure, shared accounts, or data policies, so treat "same network" as a brand and navigation relationship unless a specific site states more.

Why the "Guru" sites sit together

SmiteGuru and PaladinsGuru share a naming pattern and a game-data focus. Both games are team-based titles, and both sites are positioned as player resources within one network. That shared positioning is the practical link: if you are looking for stats, guides, or community tools for SMITE, SmiteGuru is the EGN entry point; for Paladins, PaladinsGuru is the equivalent entry point.

A useful example: a player who wants Paladins match or player information would start at PaladinsGuru rather than at the EGN root page, because the root page functions as a directory of properties, not as a game database itself.

How to use the relationship when choosing a site

  1. Identify your game first. SMITE → SmiteGuru; Paladins → PaladinsGuru. The EGN root is the index, not the destination.
  2. Check the property list on EGN if you are unsure whether a site belongs to the network. The listed names are the reliable signal.
  3. Expect separate site experiences. Each property has its own purpose; the EGN listing does not indicate shared logins, shared data, or identical features.
  4. Verify details on the specific site. The EGN page gives names and links only — feature sets, data coverage, and account requirements should be confirmed on SmiteGuru or PaladinsGuru directly.

Common sticking points

  • Assuming one login works everywhere. The page provides no evidence of unified accounts across the network.
  • Treating EGN as a game tool. It reads as a network hub; the game-specific work happens on the individual sites.
  • Expecting the same features on both Guru sites. They target different games, so coverage and tools can differ.

Bottom line

EGN is the network brand; SmiteGuru and PaladinsGuru are its game-specific sites for SMITE and Paladins, listed alongside BestServers, Jinxxy, and Cruis. Use EGN to see the full set of properties, and go directly to the relevant Guru site for game-specific information.
