Official HoN League Press Release

Announcing HoN League! http://honleague.com

I am proud to announce what will soon be the first established League for Heroes of Newerth. We are proud to be working with S2 Games on the development of their In-house League System which will make HoN the best competitive game since Counter-Strike. The minds behind some of greatest DotA leagues (DXD & IHCS) bring HoN to the next level of competitive play

HoN League consists of two tiers of play, each with their own HoN In-Game League Channels:
* HoN League [HL]
* HoN League Invite [HLi]

Channel HoN League : This is for skilled players who have earned the right to call themselves a competent player. Each HoN League player is required to know all of the heroes in HoN, as well as attain a higher level of skill and teamplay. Getting vouched in HoN League requires a try out game, and being accepted by one of our vouchers.

Channel HoN League Invite : This league is for professionals, and HoN e-Sport recognized players. This channel will consist of many DotA "professionals" in this channel and the vouchers will be top tier HoN Players, as well as, internationally recognized for top tournament placements.

HoN League is not only just the greatest experience for HoN play, it is your source for HoN e-Sport news, articles, coverage, events, tournaments and interviews with your favorite Professional HoN players.

Currently the HoN League Channel is open for support, and questions before the official closing of the channel to invite list only. Feel free to stop by and ask questions.

Awesome news. I wish there was a newb league as well, but more incentive to practice, I guess.

**HunteR_** · 08-10-2009, 05:08 PM

Japan, perhaps you could shoot a link with the staff members. I've been getting a lot of messages about it, and would be nice if they could be helped by other staff.

I hope Lego will hold some test games as well, He is russian.

You're better off asking him, or posting on forums about Russian test game times.

We have large staff and growing so it shouldn't be hard to find one at your play time.

**pedobearpig** · 08-10-2009, 07:04 PM

no backdoor allowed. no thanks.

**[iBEA]DrRisan** · 08-10-2009, 07:28 PM

This is awesome, once I get better I will apply.

**[GaY]WizEye** · 08-10-2009, 07:45 PM

Have you folks ever considered having an average gamer league? It'd be interesting because it could be used as a ramp for average skill players to graduate to the [HL], so it would keep even the terrible among us busy

**Amallama** · 08-10-2009, 07:49 PM

as pedobearpig said. only if backdooring is allowed.

**[NDG]elNiuBi** · 08-10-2009, 07:53 PM

Though we currently have only this active account, me and two other friends have been playing competitive DotA for years and we would love to be a part of HoN league. As soon as I get to invite them to create their own accounts, we will earn the respect that requires an organization of this characteristics
