Team SoloMid Acquires Heroes of Newerth

 
 
In what seems to be a hot week for acquisitions, Team SoloMid has announced that they will be welcoming the entirety of Heroes of Newerth to their brand. The press conference was held in an poorly lit basketball gym as an homage to S2’s 2013 HoN Tour Finals, where several top HoN players expressed their excitement that someone is finally paying attention to them.

The seemingly random move appears to be in response to rival team Cloud 9 HyperX’s recent mergers, which include two amateur League of Legends teams, one Smite team, one Dota 2 team, a dakimakura factory, the Oakland Raiders, and a bubble tea shop. Cloud 9 general manager Jack Etienne (praise be unto him*) could not be reached for comment at the time, as he was busy summoning money golems from his floating skyscraper.

Highlights of the leaked TSM-HoN contract include:

 
“It’s been a while since our brand has dominated any single eSport,” said TSM owner Andy “Reginald” Dinh. An anonymous source at TSM HQ has reported Dinh staring out his office window, cackling “Let’s see Jack top this!”
