The 6th round of HoNTour has come to a close with Miami powerhouse "Stay Green" emerging from the losers bracket to take victory in the finals over "Complexity Gaming". This marked the second victory in a HoNTour cycle for "Stay Green" but more notably the first since picking up both Chessie and Slickz. This is also the second time that Complexity have fallen just short of a cycle victory, however it has been several cycles since they made a finals match so there is a silver lining.

A more detailed look at the matches will follow shortly.

One Trick Pony have been picked up be German organisation myRevenge eV. So with two new HoN sponsors onto the scene this is a great step forward and we should expect to see a lot more sponsors picking teams up!

Statement from myRevenge;

"We are thrilled to announce myRevenge’s new HoN team: [OTP] One Trick Pony. They placed 7th in their first tournament and have been around for a lot shorter than top other teams, so their future looks very promising.

Their Current lineup is:

ArchiTiger
Streufutter
Znoowy
Xibbe
Fuzi


The team was formed by ArchiTiger and Fuzi, who left their current team at that time; Druidz. They recruited Streufutter whom ArchiTiger had played with before and was without a team at the time. ArchiTiger also knew a former clanmate that he thought would perfect for the team; Znoowy, who, in turn, knew Xibbe, this brought the team to a five people and their first tournament; HonTour was their biggest one so far, with 1024 teams in the starting line-up they managed to place 7th, signifying a great start to this team’s future. We wish them the best of luck in their future and hope for a prosperous relationship."
