"who have reached the age of majority in their jurisdictions of residence."

[Thermy]

So... other than TDM who else is NA?

[getviolator]

time for 2-3 teams to compete for the prizes

[siknoz]

Wait wait, is this actual money or goblin coins? Either way early congrats to TDM!

[Mediocre]

You can just give TDM the money already. No point in playing.

Im not even trolling, its the (sad) truth.

[Megabever]

tdM, Clan Milk, Brens Beasty Boys, JAH & Friends, inclement. Lots of good teams in NA. tdM one level above everyone else, though.

[AmunRaRape]

This tournament is open to all players in North America (excluding Quebec)

WHY WHY WHY??????? Dude, HOn competetive scene is like 3 or 4 teams at max globally.And you limit it even further to only tDM? Omfg boring ass tournament, well congrats TDM for free $2k I guess?

[DerRape]

Zfreek is underage afaik, so tdm can't compete either.

bever: Isn't Incl a central american team?

[Thermy]

1) I think zfreek is at least 18

2) Even if he isn't theres nothing preventing him from playing under swindlemelonzz's account and using his information for payment

3) Even if Zfreek doesn't play at all it isn't hard to find a ringer for the tournament

[[TANK]BadaBing]

Even when HoN peaked competitively, it would make no sense to host a NA-only tournament.

[DerRape]

1) I think zfreek is at least 18

2) Even if he isn't theres nothing preventing him from playing under swindlemelonzz's account and using his information for payment

3) Even if Zfreek doesn't play at all it isn't hard to find a ringer for the tournament

Thanks for sharing with us peasants the golden nugget of knowledge, captain obvious...

I'm just taking a jab at the dumb rules.

[RAAWRR]

NORTH AMERICAN ONLY

seriously? what you want to strenghten the north american scene and let the europeans just drop out? since when is this game a national game? inb4 eu and NA servers split

Honestly the HoN scene has grown a lot in the past month in terms of teams just need more tournaments;
Teams:
Tier 1: tdM, Fnatic, Fray, Peterpandam mix, IG (my top 5 in order <3)
Tier 2: Bxf, CM, Jah n Friends, PORT, INCL, Aero, Decerto, Ipel, Vrtl, Bx3
Tier 3: Ogre, Bren n friends, Code, other euro teams/aussie,

I think I listed all the teams if I could not name any off hand sorry.
