I have so far sighted at least "Levent" and "Chu1" on the first page:

actually, you'll see a lot.

in the $500 dollar tournament we have the old guys from Team Pandemic:
JohnnyUtah (EG.Remstar), AMXZaku, XSK_Samurai, and others

Also, the old check 6 gaming that won CAL-i some years ago: x6.Zujio (Zujio (http://honleague.com/member.php?u=896)), x6.Suncrusher-, etc...

There's also the old dota team FFS (FreshFriFly (http://honleague.com/member.php?u=1106) and Levent), as well as an appearance by Loda in one of they many euro teams.

Emporer's team from Domain of Pain, and his teammates

Hell even Lego (http://honleague.com/member.php?u=7) from IHCS, and d0t4bunny (http://honleague.com/member.php?u=991) the MYM DotA tourmnament admin, (both admins of HoN League)

HoN is the future, plain and simple. Expect to see a lot of dota pros expanding to a game that keeps their skills on board, and has a potential to be the next biggest e-sport since Counterstrike.

dotabunny is the former MYM tourny admin, and I love when people (AKA Rinoa) say that way more professional players enjoy LoL over HoN. Every single one, including fnatic, DoP, PokerStars, and many many old IHL players play HoN, and few of them play LoL. I completely agree with Hunter on this, HoN is the future. What I like to think of it as is like Counter Strike. Dota is CS 1.6, HoN would be CS:S, and then LoL is Team Fotress 2. Similar concept, but looks like it was designed for pre-teens....

HoN, on the other hand, is the first generation of a stand alone game based on a million player plus community.

It's like a custom map that was a hit on a 7 year old gaming engine, to become it's own game and have monetary support from a company and have market potential.

Think of how big DotA is. Think of how big of how big a game with unlimited potential and a standalone marketable product will do.

I know many e-sports organizations that have hopped on board, as well as my own organization Check 6 Gaming who secretly has a team that will rename unannounced :)

Hunter, I'm not discrediting HoN at all, I'm just trying to provide a very basic analogy. Nothing more. I love hon and I would play it far more often if i had a team, and didn't have to play pubs with idiots. So hurry up with the HoN League, need actually non-retarded people to play with.

[FFS] isn't an old dota team. Only 2 or so of us knew each other prior.

Freshfry is old school dota, whether u guys new each other prior in dota as a team is not an issue.

On another note, I didn't mention the others that didn't know each other, and I'm pretty sure FFS just won a HoN tournament, so it further confirms my beliefs

Lol, the question is do people play HON competitively :)

There are a ton of tourneys for Dota, and how many for HoN? :) After all, it's still in beta.

Please don't compare HoN to Source. As a competitive 1.6 player it makes me cringe to compare source to HoN :p. Luckily HoN is actually built to be played competitively unlike source.

You have to remember this is still in closed beta as well.

Except that's a terrible analogy because TF2 isn't based off of CS 1.6 at all it's based off TFC.

Not to mention TF2 cartoony was an awesome stylistic art direction choice whereas LoL cartoony looks like it should be a learning game for 4 year olds because it looks so cutesy. :p

Not sure if remstar and pokerstars is "as active" they've actually just been picked up by pokeridol as an officially sponsored dota team, they'll be back in full force though. They're squeezing out all they can from dota first i'm guessing, good for them. They deserve it, they've played countless years for dota trying to make something out of it

Team Fortress 2 on a competitive level is very involved. Why do people make analogies using stuff they know nothing about?

QuC's Angel is American. MYM Angel is from Denmark.

Not to mention the skill difference...

Well PokerIdols matches in SMM this past weekend were probably some of the best matches of the whole tournament. Most of the asian matches were so boring to watch, but Pokeridols? Go 5man gank and get 3kills before the rune even spawns, that's fun to watch ^^. Hopefully they'll come back on HoN though, need more ganking oriented teams in HoN, makes the best shoutcasts/replays.

Agreed, Pokerstars are a fun team to watch. That said, the best 3 teams (WHP, 5 and FFS) are all nice to watch.

ROFL ... cant believe someone actually said yes to that question..

Watch them play both for 1.3 seconds and youll notice they are not the same.

(Ill reserve my opinion on who is the better player...)

ROFL **** NO martin 999999x player then jared is.

Whenever I addressed Angel on these forums I addressed him as Glorify as referring to him as Angel is an insult to the actual Angel from MYM.
