HoN Tour Season 4 Cycle 6 is starting this Saturday evening and as it is the last Cycle before (and during) Christmas as well as the last Cycle in this calendar year, it will surely be a brilliant Cycle. Eight teams once more stand ready to play and another Gold veteran is making a debut this Cycle. So expect some fireworks when compLexity Gaming is trying to win their fourth Cycle while everyone else seeks to prevent exactly that. Here are the matchups for the weekend:


Saturday

[coL]compLexity Gaming versus [ECx]Evil Corporation
[Mint]Fresh versus [Hex]Polymorph

Starting at 12:00 EST | 18:00 CET, these two matches will give us a good preview of what to expect for the whole Cycle. compLexity has to fend off Evil Corporation, who will seek to redeem themselves after a bad last Cycle and Fresh has to play against the big unknown of the Cycle, the team that finally made it to Diamond Division after a long, long time in Gold Division and Relegation: Polymorph.

[ECx]Evil Corporation versus [NiK]Nightmare Knights

At 14:00 EST | 20:00 CET we will witness the current Champions take on Fresh, who also need some redemption for last Cycle. Looking at how they have their high and lows, this Cycle might actually be a Fresh-Cycle once more, so compLexity better be extra careful here. And Evil Corporation need to do the same against Nightmare Knights. The Knights did not perform very well last Cycle, but now that the Relegation is won, they might be in high spirits and come through with some of their unusual strategies.

[2ero]TwoZero versus [NiK]Nightmare Knights

The two busiest teams of the day will face off against each other at the end of the matchday at 16:00 EST | 22:00 CET. At the same time, [2ero]TwoZero will have the first chance to gain some points against Nightmare Knights to get into the Playoffs again if things go right for them. On the other hand, Nightmare Knights will want and need every possible point, so this match will be a tough one.

Sunday

[BMG]BadMonkeyGaming versus [2ero]TwoZero
[ECx]Evil Corporation versus [Hex]Polymorph

The next day at 12:00 EST | 18:00 CET BadMonkeyGaming will become active in this Cycle, facing the surprise team of Cycle 4. BMG had a good last Cycle which ended a bit abrupt, so they might be keen on getting points quickly and secure a Playoff spot as soon as possible. And there will be little rest for Evil Corporation this weekend, as they are scheduled to play their fourth match of the Cycle, this time against the newcomers of Polymorph.

[2ero]TwoZero versus [Hex]Polymorph

The 14:00 EST | 20:00 CET spot will host two rather interesting matches. First we have compLexity going against BMG, which will most likely turn out to be an excellent, high level match and then we have the two most "exotic" of the Diamond teams playing against each other, both only recently joined the ranks of the Honcast featured teams and both with no real big names (yet).

[coL]compLexity Gaming versus [Hex]Polymorph

Finally at 16:00 EST | 22:00 CET we will conclude the weekend matches with Evil Corporation playing their fifth match, this time against TwoZero, followed by compLexity Gaming and their fourth match, which will be against Polymorph, which is also their fourth match. These matches might be pretty important, as all of the teams who play here will have more than half their matches finished then and this means that they better have plenty of points by then, not many more to get in this Cycle. This is especially true for Evil Corporation, who already experienced a situation where they did not get enough points early and finished all their matches at the beginning of the Cycle, thus having to watch their opponents pass by them in rank and kick them from the Playoff spots.


And there we go, 12 big matches set up for the weekend and the best is still to come! Honcast will cover these matches live, so be sure to tune in on time, it's going to be great! Good Luck and Have Fun to all teams playing!
