I played HoN for about a year before picking up Starcraft 2 and they both are great and fun games. My only concern is that HoN was not made as an e-sport, but as a DoTA clone. This means that for a spectator it will be pretty hard to understand and parse what is happening in the matches since you have 10 heroes (from a pool of 80+ to choose from) with 4 spells each, that is a combination of 40 spells proc'ing during team fights. Also, my concern is that during the first 10 minutes of the game the laning phase is simple, but can be boring.

Don't get me wrong, I would love for HoN to succeed as e-sport, but I don't know if the complexity of what is happening at once in the screen will let itself to be one. Unless we have casters that speak like auctioneers or race track commentators.

"Promotional" means HoN is paying to be there. That's why.

Well they still refer to themselves as the NASL? Although S just stands for Star, I don't really see how that pertains to HoN in any really significant way. It would be like Starcraft being part of some tournament circuit called NAHL, the North American Heroes League(or something similar, I don't feel like putting that much thought into something that nobody is probably going to see). Which although you could craft some sort of correlation, it wouldn't be all that relevant.
