The international HoN Tour Grand Finals are still more than three months away, but preparations are already in effect. The Malaysian team Orange eSports has accepted a sponsorship from ADN Gamer, therefore leaving their long-time sponsor and organization ORGE behind.
Orange eSports is now without a HoN Tour team, as MrGhost confirmed today. The Malaysian organization, who had been a stable in the SEA HoN scene is without a team for now, since their former squad got picked up by ADN Gamer. The only reason for that change is not that Orange eSports has no desire to continue working together with a HoN team, but rather the team's need for some more support. ADN Gamer is not only lending it's name and logo to the team, it's also providing a team house to guarantee the optimal practice leading up to the international HoN Tour Grand Finals.
This news comes as no big surprise, as the individual members of the former Orange eSports team have dropped the tag for quite a while now. Shuiyu even played some of the G-League matches and the last playoff match with the new tag - aDnG. The team will finish off the SEA HoN Tour playoffs representing their new team, leaving Orange eSports completely behind.
The cooperation with the established organization lasted for quite a while and was rather successful for both sides. With the Orange name attached, the team visited DreamHack twice, played the Garena Star League, both Sound Blaster Heroes Leagues and dominated the home-league of SEA HoN Tour. Now this ends and both parts going seperate ways - to this point it seems unlikely that Orange eSports is going to pursue a HoN team.
