Dark Sided pick up 'Morton's List' Heroes roster

The Oceanic org has acquired the Heroes team in time to compete in Gamestah Blizzard ANZ HotS Season 3.

Oceanic org Dark Sided took a step in a new direction today as they became one of the first OCE groups in a long time to sign a Heroes of the Storm lineup. The org has picked up the roster formerly known as ‘Morton’s List’, who had already picked up a win over regional behemoth Nomia prior to their signing, ahead of the Gamestah Blizzard ANZ HotS Season 3.

The team is comprised of Jeremy 'Moops' Setio, Hayden 'Sashin' Kang, Josh 'Hacky' Hackett, Ashley ‘DeMiSe' Branson and Joshua 'Vicarrak' Lloyd, and managed by Daniel 'Morton' Morton, a long-term member of the Australian Heroes community. With the aforementioned win over Nomia already under their belts this is a chance for some movement in a scene long dominated by one team, and has been welcomed by fans in the area as a result.

Morton had this to say of the move, and how it could work out for his team. “Having Dark Sided sponsor our former team 'Morton's List' is an exceptional opportunity not only for the team but for the entire ANZ community. The Heroes of the storm scene in Australia/New Zealand is seemingly unrecognisable relative to the main four regions but through the investment and recognition of esports organisations into the ANZ community, Heroes in Australia/New Zealand will soon begin to flourish with support and maybe one day soon compete with the more developed regions on an even playing field.”

Game three of Morton's List vs Nomia

The team got off to a good start, with their first games under the Dark Sided banner taking place today, June 8th, in the third season of Blizzard’s ANZ event. A 2-0 win over City Wok was followed by a victory over No Worries with the same scoreline, meaning they are in prime position to qualify for the ANZ Regional Finals. Hopefully they can also challenge Nomia for their position atop the Oceanic tree, and breath new life into the region as a whole.
