Big days for HoN, as the game approaches the second cycle in the HonTour extravaganza, featuring two newly sponsored teams in the Diamond Division. Yesterday Fortune Bakery got picked up by Absolute Legends, today One Trick Pony announced their partnership with the German organization myRevenge.
Ever since the team formed, it was a great addition to the HoN scene, qualifying for the Diamond Division and picking up an upset victory in the first round against Lions eSports. After that, they couldn't pick up another win in the cycle, but it was enough to retain the Diamond Division status. In addition to that they were able to win the first SoundBlaster Heroes League Qualifier, to clinch their spot in the big Finals event for a total prize pool of $40,000 USD. The most recent Honcast Community Rankings had the team in the Top Ten - entering that list for the first time.
“
I feel like we' ve improved a lot lately as a team. Our goal in HoN is definitely to get into the top 5 ranks to start with. The chance to pick up myRevenge as sponsor is huge for us as individuals aswell as a team. The main reason why we picked them is because they were able to offer a very good deal for offline events/boot camps and also gear. Big thanks to myRevenge and our manager Erik for making this possible!” - Znoowy, support player for myRevengeFor myRevenge it is also the first time that the German based organization is entering Heroes of Newerth with a team. At the time Counter-Strike 1.6 was regarded as the most prestigious game in the ESL Pro Series, myRevenge was involved in many seasons. Currently the organization is involved with several teams, including three different League of Legends teams in three different regions.
