HoN Tour is Here!
HoN Tour functionality has been added to the game client. The HoN Tour tournament platform is completely automated to make your HoN Tour experience as streamlined as possible.
As a registered HoN Tour competitor, you'll notice a few new features in the Game Client. When a scheduled HoN Tour match is available, the "Play Now" button will be replaced by a "HoN Tour" button. Click this button to join the pre-game lobby with your team and meet your competitor. Once all five members of each team have joined the lobby, the system will allow you to start the match and let the competition begin. Statistical data from each match is automatically sent to the system and uploaded to hontour.com.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN with the HoN Tour qualifiers, starting October 20th!
