Needs more? This game is already in the WCG and now in the ESL Major Serious. There is no "more" :P
why 5000 € for a game which isnt suited for competetive gaming and more aimed towards players between 6-10 years ? why not invest more in real AoS Games like HoN ? esl :)
Maybe because HoN is a so bad game and a bad copy of DotA ?
if S2 pay 5000euro for own game - HoN come to EMS too )))
nice!
fail dota copy is fail
at least if you wanna include a dota clone that it isnt the actual dota do the right thing and add hon...LoL and competitive gaming is like loud-farting-competition in ESL masters.

d
HoN players whine that S2 aren't willing to invest as much as Riot. There is a reason LoL is growing at a far quicker rate and the first reason is that the game is not a straight dota reskin.
i really hope the qualification system will be announced soon :)

and btw stop flaming abount dota > hon > lol > dota... nobody wants to hear it and all you guys with your bad manner really make the community aspect suck... maybe just be glad that the esl offers something like this instead of flaming every game thats not yours ... in the end its all about personal preferences
there's no hon huge prize just because hon has an own competitive circuit.

how wrong is this? wtf do you even know about the hon community? hon has seen much more competetive play than lol has. lans, online tournaments, hon even got shoutcasting. dota is populare for a reason, becasue icefrog knows how to balance and he does it great. If you are going to make a dota clone atleast do it right. lol is just a half failed copy of what used to be a great game (dota). Im not saying hon dosnt have balancing issuses, but hon is 3 times more suited for competetive play than lol will ever be.
how many rounds lol did u play? how many tournaments (yes there where a few)?
kk thx bb

and still stop flaming its just about personal preference

im totally curious how everbody has to bash the other game even if they played it for less than 10 hours. I mean whats the reason behind it tell me RobinEA are you feeling better now?
my favourite champion is SHEN THIS game ROCKS
Nice keep the LoL support coming. Btw to all the HoN fanboys, its not because the game has "cartoonish" graphics that its a kids game, look at WoW .. same graphic style and 12mill subs, cya
WOOT
shame I don't have a team :(
Pretty cool :DDD
hon players are always whining and flaming about lol. lol is a realy good game. hon is good, too. whats the problem? flameing kids.
