"About 2 years ago, S2 Games started a beta version of Heroes of Newerth and after collecting new ideas, especially through their very own unique community, they launched a rather interesting game title with great features which today has over 50 thousand registered users with a trend of growing bigger and bigger.
Today, we are proud to announce the addition of a Heroes of Newerth team to the family of SK Gaming. Team fiVe has been around for quite some time now. Our first contact with the team was with their player Bdiz who gave us an extremely professional impression, something we at SK Gaming love and seek. Herewith we wish the team a great start and good luck in all future tournaments with your new clan tag!"

but LoL is funny to play ^^
Angry Testie is one of the best... no doubt...
And I don't see which DotA Team they could hire at the moment ...
but hey if you don't have something useful to say just go ahead and start a bullshit HoN vs. DotA war
And DOTA scene is dead compared to hon right now, You can't even compare the level of players anymore.
the thing with icefrog, well why exactly should they pay him, did he pay his predecessors who actually developed dota? he was mentioned for months on the hon website, thats fair enough. btw i thank god they didn't hire him, he is simply not needed. hon is awesome as it is (and yes it's still work in progress). finally stop the bullshit about "stealing" from dota, dota itself has so many names/heroes/items took from other games/anime series, you are just fooling yourself thinking everything in dota comes from icefrogs beautiful mind..
just stop it dude, you don't like it we get it, don't play it. wait your 2-5 years till valve brings out some steam dotalike bullshit and be happy (but i'm pretty sure you won't, since valve caters to the masses so hon and dota will be like fucking rocket science compared to valves game)
ggnore
LevenT, H4nn1, Loda, Drayich (you can argue on him),Kebap, rexi and trixi, testie (in this team, he's actually very good) and chu.
Who ever says that the first 3 are not good players, he's either noob or brain damaged :)
I played DotA for 7 years and changed over to HoN because it has 0 delay... You can host with their mega good servers... Not that much crashing like in WC3 (and anyway you can reconnect). Competitive scene is uprising. There are a lot of tournaments these days... There are 2 many reasons to go to HoN... I really don't find any good reasons to play DotA anymore...
HoN has his own heroes (Gauntlet, Puppet master, Balphagore, Zephyr and others) and some different items (nome's wisdom). I personally look at HoN as an upgraded version of DotA.
I even have a very crappy PC and HoN still works a lot better than DotA (wc3) regardless on the better graphics on HoN...
I rly don't know what else 2 say :S
Levent and H4nn1 also play WoW and Kebap is a joke himself. Rexi, trixi and testie never were on a top DotA level.
There we go...
Puppet OP, Zephyr OP, basically all new heroes OP ._. So many nerfs on Zephyr so far ._.
As for Rexi, Trixi and Tesie... They liked HoN and choose to stick with it and they're showing that they're very skilled players and there's nothing "pro" DotA players can do what they can't... It's all about the teamwork in both games and the more you practice with your team the better you get teamwise and show more success.
Chu is also a gr8 player. He played HoN for a year it seems and he is still in the team Loaded as you can see on their website... Give a guy a brake, he'll be back to HoN in no time...
And what did you achieve in DotA that Drayich didn't so you can tell that he isn't a good player "for you".
I just loled to that statement :P
just because you played few games in the early beta there is no need to spread your hate on every website you can register for free (yes we know you are dota admin blabla on mym). you guys are just afraid that your great game that never made it to real esports could lose even more players to a better version of it
Btw, nice for HoN to have SK-Gaming among us, high 5 \o
P.S: Yeah i made an account just to insult that romanian twat...had to after reading what he said :x
