At this moment, everyone is waiting for the HoN Tour.... any little tidbits you can share with us that maybe aren't public yet? Any hints or teases as to what's to come?
Nick 'breakycpk' Caras:
Now I will say I have most certainly had my doubts at times, especially before Phil was brought on into the position he is in now, but I am very confident at this point in time that HoN Tour will finally be coming in the near future and it will be the answer that HoN needs right now to compete amongst the eSports scene.
Also, from a Honcast perspective, I can say to expect some pretty big things concerning our coverage of HoN Tour and how it is going to work.”

“
I get asked this every day and my response is always the same. I am not involved with HoN Tour, that is a big part why Phil was picked up by S2 Games to become the new eSports director with his main focus on HoN Tour.Now I will say I have most certainly had my doubts at times, especially before Phil was brought on into the position he is in now, but I am very confident at this point in time that HoN Tour will finally be coming in the near future and it will be the answer that HoN needs right now to compete amongst the eSports scene.

Something we covered with another prolific caster-- Phil of Honcast-- was that in some ways, HoN casting is becoming a little too professional, and many feel that viewers aren't getting quite the same experience they would when it's a bit more laid back. Which direction are you looking to go at Dreamhack this year? More up close and personal, as it has been in years past, or straight professionalism?
Nick 'breakycpk' Caras:
But again, I do feel at least having the mindset of wanting to be professional is a good thing and I look forward on enhancing such things as our production even more in the future as a result of this.”

Nick 'breakycpk' Caras:
“
Well from what I understand Phil was addressing the DreamHack Event and the difference from the Summer to the Winter one this past year. I actually agree with him, but only a limited amount. I do feel that there was less of that personal feeling and us trying to be something that we clearly aren’t (at least yet) may not have been the best choice. But at the same time, I have always been an advocate of at least attempting to be on a bit of a professional level although I will say my view on what this means has changed a lot as time has gone on. Let’s face it, we are dealing with gamers mainly between the age range of 15-24 years old, and it is just silly to try to act like we some big time television show that needs to be careful.But again, I do feel at least having the mindset of wanting to be professional is a good thing and I look forward on enhancing such things as our production even more in the future as a result of this.”
