The transcript for this interview can be found bellow.
[/p][p]Shinkz: Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Insurgency`: I've been playing HoN since beta release. There's not much to tell here but I am sure everyone already knows that I've got 19 inch biceps and I like to banter talk a bit. But yeah there is not much to talk about here.
[/p][p]Shinkz: What about your clan?
Insurgency`: We were Jersey Boyz and I've been with yourself Shinkz since beta release so we've been playing together for quite a while now. We've recently remade into Sublime PC Gear of which is currently number one on CGo and are doing very well on the Fnatic Msi PLAY tournament so hopefully should be good from now on.
[/p][p]Shinkz: What do you think about the Oceanic HoN Scene?
Insurgency`: To be quite honest I don't think it's that big at the moment. There is a lot of 'Manhouses' going on at the moment. But the competitive scene is lacking, there would be TPG, SLx, tSFg as well as WASP. Scrims do not happen often enough in my opinion but if all those teams such as qmX and stuff were to scrim occasionally it would much better.
[/p][p]Shinkz: Do you think that increased Australian Servers would increase the Australian HoN Scene?
Insurgency`: Yes definitely. It's the most annoying thing to spam refresh to try and get the servers and then the people that are playing the 'manhouses' get really annoyed when you steal the servers off them.
[/p][p]Shinkz: What do you think about HoN's progression and what changes would you like to see in the near future?
Insurgency`: Well I'd like to see a lot more competitive DotA heroes ported in. The changes I would like to see would just be definitely getting rid of the tri-lane metagame at the moment. I don't like playing the trilene but competitively we are forced into playing the tri-lane if you want to do well. You could run a 2-2-1 set up but whoever is in the 1 will get completely dominated by the tri-lane and normally they pull out of the 2-2-1 or just completely lose one lane. A potential fix could be the removal of blood chalice but I really don't know how you would go about removing it.
[/p][p]Shinkz: What do you think will happen with Dota/HoN/Lol when DotA 2 comes out?
Insurgency`: I am pretty sure from my own personal option that HoN might die, DotA has a large competitive base and a lot of people feel nostalgic to DotA and they want to go back. I think I will go to DotA but it all depends on what Sublime will be doing.
[/p][p]This has been the first of a few interviews I will be conducting with the best of Australian and Oceanic HoN over the next few months. Keep an eye out![/p][p]Cheers,[/p][p]Shinkz[/p]
