It was recently announced that Milk would become the first salaried team in HoN, with a sponsorship coming from Neva Digital. What information can you give us about the terms of the sponsorship, and do you feel honoured to be the first team to have this type of sponsor?
Milkfat: We are going to be going to every LAN event with fully paid meals, hotels, flights, and entry fees. Our salaries I will not say but they are more than most college kids make working part time so thats always nice. Of course I feel honored to be the first team to have this type of sponsor. I am the best player in the world. I deserve it.
Cakes: I definitely do feel honored, it is quite the privilege to be on this team and make history. Will definitely try my best to represent HoN players worldwide and further the impact of hon as a competitive game.

Milkfat: Shameless? Nah. Legendary? Absolutely. I mean I am good at what I do. It's not hard to get your name out there when you look this and are as good as me. Real talk though as my good friend Kevin Rudolf said, "I don't care for glamor, I don't care for fame, I'm in it for the love of the game." I am just lucky that I got all three.
There has been a little bit of forum beef between some members of T7H and Milk recently. Is it all fun and games as usual with the banter between players, or could we perhaps have the first true hated rivals in HoN?
Milkfat: T7H is easily considered the snakes of the HoN community. They are lead by King Cobra Amingo himself. They constantly steal our strategies, watch our replays every day, and even use the same shampoo and conditioner that I use. Let's just say this guy has been dodging me constantly. 1V1? Dodge! Rap battle? Dodge! Big surprise. Wouldn't be surprised if he drove a viper.
Cakes: You'll have to ask Milkfat for more details on this one, but if there's one thing i know... Milkfat does not take feuds lightly, he will fight them to the death and there can be no resolution. Most likely Amingo's and Milkfat's children will try to kill each other like the capulet's and montague's.
What is your favourite and least favourite part of the current metagame?
Milkfat: All of my fans know how legendary my Morphling is and if that hero was ported we would easily be the number 1 team in the world. My favorite part of the metagame is that I can pick a ricing hero, go afk for 50 minutes, do nothing all game, come out and kill the entire team like a boss and receive all the praises of the community without actually doing anything.
Cakes: Favorite part is ganking for sure, that is one of my primary roles on the team and i love it. Least favorite part of the game would have to the need for turtling and farming as it really just isnt fun for me. Milkfat looooves ricing though haha so we're a pretty good match i guess.
Imagine you could have a dream team of yourself and any 4 other competitive tier HoN players on any team. Who would be on your dream team, what hero would they play, and what would the lanes be? (Assume you’re the Legion Team)
Milkfat: 'Pokedex would solo mid with Pokewog Priest because he's best in world. CaKeS would lane top as CaKeHeMoTh with H4nn1 as V4lkyr1e. Bottom would be the legend himself as Chronos laned with the public player Bdiz as Slither. Madfred and PanMan would be on the other team laning bottom with whatever hero can feed fastest.
Cakes: -Kebap (anything!), bdiz support (ds), milkfat chronos, chu solo mid with chipper/hag
Which hero is the most underrated hero as of patch 1.0.2.?
Milkfat: Most underrated hero would have to be solo electrician. Shoutout to emperor.
Cakes: BEHEMOTH!
Any final words of wisdom, or shoutouts?
Milkfat: I would like to use this opportunity to announce that Emperor is joining our roster. With his experience I can guarantee victory this week at Honcast and NEVA. Also shoutout to my roommates Tabris and madfred for always bringing me monsters and sandwiches while I play. Shoutout to sneakeee my number 1 fangirl. My family, Jr, Zabe, Bloodseeker, my girl Michelle King, Juan Gonzales, Vin Diesel, and Will Smith. And of course, SHOUTOUT TO PANMAN!
Cakes: Remember who you are and dont let haters keep u down. Shoutout to my clan and all my friends, you've supported me since the beginning and i love you all so much! ^_^ Shoutout to my gf Missy too =P
