The SoundBlaster Heroes League is one of the biggest Heroes of Newerth tournaments besides HonTour with a total prize pool of $40,000 USD. So obviously it is the goal of every competitive team out there to get into the main bracket to fight for all the glory and money. Eight teams will have to go through small qualifying tournaments, while eight chosen teams can just opt in via invite. That honor was already given to compLexity Gaming, now their nemesis Trademark eSports is following as well.

'We feel very honored to be invited to this tournament. We're of course going to do our very best to prove ourselves and hopefully be able to bring the entire thing home.'

The invite for Trademark is no real surprise as the team was the most dominating force in the last three month. In that time frame the team around drafter and captain Johan 'Mynuts' Andersson they secured four major titles - including the DreamHack Winter 2012 Championship and two consecutive HonTour Diamond titles.
They are also in a commanding lead of the HonTour rankings and are the only winner that the HonTour Diamond Division has ever seen. Now they join their arch rival compLexity Gaming and One Trick Pony in the SoundBlaster Heroes League final bracket - waiting for the remaining 13 spots to be filled.
