ABOUT HEROES OF NEWERTH:

HoN is a DotA based game built with vast improvements in graphics and gameplay. In Heroes of Newerth, two teams of up to five players each take on the role of special Hero units. With the assistance of AI-controlled armies, each team sets out with the sole objective of destroying the other team’s base. The team-oriented design of HoN coupled with unprecedented in-game Voice-Over-IP controls and Clan Support allow for an incredibly deep, tactical team-based experience. Heroes of Newerth is available for the Windows, MAC and Linux platforms for $30.00 (USD). More information is available at http://www.heroesofnewerth.com.

So if you're in the North American DotA/HoN scene, this is one event you should not miss.
