Gaming history:

I have been a long time gamer and an avid esports fan for over a decade and I do not see that stopping no matter how old I get. I first got hooked into gaming when my father purchased me Command and Conquer on one of our date nights and we stayed up all night playing together. Being the competitive person I am, I made it my goal to train and eventually be able to beat not only my Dad but all of my brothers as well. After blowing through many games I finally found one that stuck; Warcraft 3. Warcraft 3 defined not only my childhood but my passion for the game got me to where I am today. I got hooked into DotA the moment I played it and after many months of progressing I eventually began competing and admin-ing leagues.

HoN history:

I have been playing HoN since the very first moment I had access to it in the closed beta. Actually, since I started working at S2 Games I found out that I was the 900 th person to ever play HoN! From the moment I jumped into Newerth I knew that I wanted to play competitively so I grabbed some of my real life buddies and recreated Clan MILK. We had some initial success and won some LAN tournaments but eventually the team took a break. Recently, Clan MILK was reformed as not only a competitive team but also as a tournament hub for amateur players. Within a three month period almost 50,000 users competed in our amateur tournaments and our gold coin prizing turned into cash prizing. In the short time the competitive team was together we competed and placed in multiple tournaments and were ranked the second best team in the World according to the Honcast rankings. With summer coming to an end, the team split up to focus on college while I joined up with S2.

Favorite hero:

Bloodhunter: That's all there is to say.

Least favorite hero:

Bloodhunter: Because no one knows how to play him.

Anything else people might want to know about you:

I am so lucky and excited to be a part of such a wonderful event and can't wait to watch the foundation of HoN esports grow. 96 different teams are placing in tournaments and earning cash prizing every two weeks!? That's crazy!

Gaming history:

I was a casual gamer, then I started playing HoN in late 2024 at the recommendation of a friend.

HoN history:

I've been involved in the organizational part of some clans/project pretty much ever since I've started playing. Helped my friend with his clan when I first started HoN, then searching for some training found a mentoring clan, ended up helping out a lot, and it died 7 months later. Haven't done a lot since then, some tournaments here and there, random paperwork when needed. For about 1 year now I've tried building up my own project (long live lack of resources or good partners), though recently I had some good luck and my ideas finally took some shape. Now I'm also a HoN Tour Admin, which is pretty fun. Game wise - when I started to play, I was thrown in 1700+ environment straight up, and stuck with hard support because farming was boring. Going in and stunning people and giving all the support to your carry is nice. Also in the last 2 years I've met only about 3 warders that would buy all the wards and use them properly. So I just tend to go ward intensive/aggressive hard support in 99% the game as I can't stand lack of vision (10w/game average ftw).

I enjoy competitive play-style and would go versus 1800+ anytime instead of boring 1500-1700, but with my bad computer (it's really bad) often my screen freezes and low FPS, and that kills all the fun, so I usually play for fun, with buddies I get along with, fool around and joke while enjoying a good game.

So I remain a casual player, with skills that need to improve, but that comes only with experience once I start playing more seriously.

How to contact me:

in-game, whisper via /w inklin

Favorite hero:

Any stunners, especially Pollywog, as I can catch up with some farm and push towers easily, instead of being a squishy Glacius whenever I play with buddies/randoms and can't rely on them. I usually just go in there, squishy or not, and initiate on someone with a stun, so I end up feeding a lot (+lack of good positioning/low FPS/screen freeze). Thus I think Accursed fits me for now, if my team picks up some stunners.

Least favorite hero:

Nymphora. Unless I have a team that actually listens/wants to gank, she's boring.

Anything else people might want to know about you:

I tend to play only with people I synergize with so we can coordinate attacks and ganks. I don't boost, I don't get boosted, I don't share accounts - I never let anyone play on mine, and I don't play on other people's accounts. I like to grind and earn my stats fair and square. I sit comfortably at around 1650, whenever I meet a 1700 support he reminds me I should stop slacking. I like to grind going in a duo-queue with a buddy for some days - up to a week, but then I lose it all when buddies ask me to support/ward in TMM and after the losing streak they tell me it was their "I don't care about stats account" (thanks!) Since I'm currently not playing serious enough, I don't stress about my stats as they hover between 1500-1650 depending on whom I support. Currently on break until I get some computer parts.

Gaming history:

My gaming history first started when I gave Counter-Strike a try at a local LAN center and it was the best game that I had ever played at the time. Than I saw this funky game my friend was playing Warcraft 3 and it was called DotA. When I saw him playing it I had to give it a try and I have never looked back. I played DotA for just over 5 years when it was just DotA Allstars, that was back in the old school days. When I saw HoN I knew I was going to make the change over because it looked more clean and crisp than what DotA was at the time. I haven't looked back since.

HoN history:

Well for my HoN history I'm mostly a pubber, I do enjoy a good scrim or two ever so often. I have played HoN since closed beta back when it was really hard to get into the closed beta. The reason I choose to stick with HoN is because I believe the game still has a lot of growing room and will get bigger and better over time.

How to contact me:

You may contact me via in-game with /w chuck64 or leave me a message which would be better.

Favorite hero:

My favorite hero has to be any support hero and there aren't very many of them, but right now my favorite has to be Andromeda. Her swap is so good to catch people off guard. My second favorite hero would have to be Empath. She has so many great skills. Her wall is such a great skill to block people off so your teammates and get in there and do what they do best which is KS!! (jk jk)

Least favorite hero:

My least favorite hero has to be Monkey King. Everyone knows why, I just don't know how to do his combos all too well.

Anything else people might want to know about you:

Well I like to go bowling and my average as of right now is 205 in my league and I'm happy with the way it has been going. I have done that since I was about 10 years old. I am also a poker player which takes a ton of skill when you play for a lot of money at high stakes games.

Gaming history:

Played counter-strike 1.5-1.6, Warcraft 3, Starcraft 2, DOTA, HoN, Dota II.

How to contact me:

In-game via whisper, /w Snoopy

Favorite hero:

Empath, I enjoy supporting as Empath and how Empath can capitalize on positioning mistakes far greater then many heroes.

Least favorite hero:

Rampage, if he is in my games, I will be cursing him the entire time, because he always aims for me, every time.

Anything else people might want to know about you:

I've been involved with the Heroes of Newerth scene since before launch and have worked with sites like GameReplays, Honcast, and NevaTV
