So, SEA has been locked out of international HoN and distribution will now be handled by garena. On hearing this news my original plans consisted of:

1) Quit HoN

2) Sneak back into international HoN and purchase it some way.

However, i am very glad that a new option has presented itself.

I have been invited and have accepted a position at Duskbin (home of well known sc players such as f91 and jaystar) to cover HoN. While my full jobscope has not been revealed to me, i am excited to embark on this path.

We are hoping for duskbin.com to become one of the primary platforms for SEA HoN scene coverage. I myself hope for it to not only cover regional HoN news but also for it to become a conduit between SEA HoN and Int HoN. Not so sure how that'll work out though.

Edit : (this part got lost while i copied it over from the first time i posted this. >,<)
-
But because of this, i believe that this may be my final good bye to international HoN and all the great friends i have made there. Hopefully some new means of SEA and int hon connection will arise in the near future. But for now, it is goodbye.

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams beneath your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams...
(W.B.Yeats)

Btw any Int HoN players may have known me as meeps`.

Wow, S2 chose Garena to distribute HoN? Did they even do any background checking? That's really surprising news to me as Garena is nothing more than a platform for pirated games.

Ugh... It's very unfortunate that the majority of our gamers are BM and quitters.

It's the best way to bite into the South Asian DotA community. Not so much for the actual platform but the exposure. Also to speed it up they're providing it for free, if it wasn't, only a tiny fraction of the actual DotA players there would even TRY it (for those that haven't yet).

Garena is South East Asia's hub alright. Dota players in Malaysia use it a lot and im sure for other countries. They conducted Dota live streams and etc in Garena i suppose. Since HoN is so similar to Dota, naturally the market is already there.

HoN is free in SEA. No idea why, unless they believe Garena can crack the code open. Apparently some people are willing to pay for less BM pinoys.

pmed. anyway what marksman said is true. and they do certainly have the resources to carry out the distribution of HoN. in SEA i dont think the problem is so much with Garena as the conduit, but rather the gamers who use it.
