Heroes of Newerth (aka. “HoN”) has been on everyone’s lips since last years’ beta release, and now currently averages 50,000 players at any given time and a total +2.5 million registered users.
So - to make sure that the upcoming launch of HoN is going to be as huge as possible, we teamed up with #1 RTS-community, GosuGamers to bring you the SteelSeries Heroes of Newerth World Cup with a total $40,000 prize pool.
In addition to the tournament itself which will feature 5 regional qualifiers to cover the entire planet, we also announced a mousepad design contest, giving GosuGamers registered members a chance to get their own HoN artwork picked out and printed on the upcoming SteelSeries QcK HoN mousepads.
Finally, any participating team in the Heroes of Newerth World Cup will be asked to pick out the team they believe will take home the FIFA 2010 World Cup gold in South Africa, to enter a raffle for $1,000.
I suggest you check out the announcement over on GosuGamers for more details, as well as the official press release. :-)
