So I searched but I could not find anything on this.
It looks like NASL will now also feature a Heroes of Newerth competitive tournament with 40K in prizes.
KALAMAZOO, Mich., Sep 06, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Heroes of Newerth (HoN), the session-based, multiplayer, action-RPG developed by independent game developer S2 Games, will join professional eSports League North American Star League (NASL) as a promotional title beginning October 5 for its Season 2 competition.
North American Star League is one of the largest eSports broadcasters in the world. It caters to more than 50 of the world's most elite eSports players, and will now include Heroes of Newerth amongst them.
Any thoughts on why they would do this? Are they trying to become the new MLG?

EDIT: I didn't know if this was a tournament related issue so I posted here. Please move it there if it belongs.

Holy shit that's crazy :O
Still, I hope they swap from hon to dota2 when it comes out.
|
I dont follow the HoN scene but is this the biggest tournament for it now?
|
Wrong section this should be over in the Sports and Games. I think they are getting more money from sponsors from HoN so it's a wise investment.
|
HoN = Ownage.. I am glad they added HoN and not LoL. The title originally made me think it was going to air ads during the thing for HoN though lol.....

"If you go over to the Heroes of Newerth booth ___ will be signing _____"
Is all I remember of HoN and NASL together.
Haha, HasuOrb.
Oh yeah, HoN. Cool.
|
Yep, kinda "old" news. They basically announced this at the finals.
Good for the scene, HoN needs this. Good luck to NASL!
|
HoN > LoL
but seems silly to add this with dota 2 around the corner. I hope they don't have any sort of exclusive contract that is for too long. HoN is going to be wiped off the earth when Dota 2 is released.
|
Well, sorry if it's old news. I could not find anything related to it.
I guess then it's news that this is a CNBC article. This is as mainstream media as it gets.
|
Not really related to SC2 at all. Agree that it should be in Sports and Games. As to thoughts on why they would do this...why not? They want to make more money so they're hosting another game
|
Good, HoN deserves all of the attention that LoL gets, its 10000% a better esport than LoL. I do have a feeling that Dota2 will wipe the floor clean with all of the other moba's though.
|
God, am I the only one who, considering the last season, think that that money is better spend on either travel reimbursing all the players attending the grand finals by 100% and upping the production quality?

NASL or MLG picking up DotA 2 would make me happy.
|
Well, this can only be good for SC2 since people that would watch HoN will now get to see some of our game too and the other way around. More popularity for everyone.

I think there were alot of pointers to HoN beind added to the NASL, so everyone saw it coming.
seems kind of odd to do this instead of Dota2 from a business point of view, HoN is not popular at all(the amount of viewers they get is pretty damn low), I wonder why they don't want to add Dota 2 instead when it comes out.
actually maybe they could, in which case it would be good.
also in before this turns into LoL vs Hon debate, which judging from the comments it is already heading that way.

tought HON was already dead, my bad
(I play LoL relegiously)
|
If they add it, they should change their name lol

I was thinking the same thing. Will they still be NASL? Probably yes for this season since they started filming.
|
Why wouldn't they still be NASL?
