After the intense events at the HoN Tour Season 2 Grand Finals in Thailand it has become a little quiet in the competitive HoN scene. Players and casters took a well deserved break to recharge their batteries and to prepare for the things to come. Now this slow time has ended and the Off-Season Weekly Cups have been announced, split into three different modes for a change of pace in both play and viewing style.

First we have the 5v5 Cup, made for all the competitive players out there, where teams can play for dominance, Gold Coins, and entry into the King of the Hill events. Then we have the NA Cup for all our American players, who had troubles with getting up early to play with the Europeans before, as it will be played at US friendly times. And for all those who did not find either of these Cups attractive, there is Variety. The Variety Cup, where game modes like Midwars will be played.

For more details about these cups, check out the announcement in our Forums made by HoN Tour Admin Inklin.

As for this week, we will have the first 5v5 Cup right at our hands. The signups are open now and classy teams like [tree]willowkeeper and [YLTP]You Love To Party have already registered, so don't be late to enter your team too! As mentioned before, a large amount of gold on the line and the winners will also gain entry to the next King of the Hill event, so there is a good chance for a less known team to make an impact.

The Cup will start at 12:00 EDT | 18:00 CEST with the first five rounds, one round every hour, and it will be a BO1 with captains pick. On Sunday we will proceed to RO4 and Grand Finals, which will be BO3 and played at the usual HoN Tour times. The event will be covered by community casters Laaash and Skyzorz so make sure not to miss out.
