    HoN:

    Just watched boomstickah's linked finals match the other day ->
    http://honcast.com/2010/02/gamereplays-tournament-3-season-1-finals-x6-vs-5/

    Spoiler for the results
    Was very nice to see a pusher team win rather than the same, very tired lineup of plague/pest/shaman/agi farm. The chu guy was a beast defiler that would make kainen's defiler look like child's play!!! OWNEDD!!!!

    We played two really good games of HoN last night:

    1st one here: http://replays.heroesofnewerth.com/match_replay.php?mid=28363194
    Kainen(funkyd0nker) and I(greentown) harrassed the crap out of plague on their team (4 deaths in under 5 minutes) with a hag + swiftblade combo. The match started getting seriously away from us as their puppet went to farmtown and owned us in team fights (he had 291 ck's at end game..wow). We even jumped them at Kongor and got genocided. Horrible feeling.
    We then started ignoring plague's ult in team fights and Lakren(pinktown) would just blink in and blow up puppet. Once he was down it was cleanup time.

    2nd one here:http://replays.heroesofnewerth.com/match_replay.php?mid=28372456
    Not as exciting as the first. I pretty much got my farm on while they ganked and was buff enough to get a lot of kills towards the end. Our pubby was pretty good so that's always nice.
