geschrieben von: „DreamsOfSin“ , 27.06.2011 - 15:42 Uhr
KD-Gaming sent their start Heroes of Newerth team tothe DreamHack Summer 2011 event held in Jonkoping, Sweden.  The team's excitement toward the DHS event can only be described as "indescribable". They have been waiting for this event for a while now and since they got picked up by KD-Gaming they were so enthusiastic about their chances for this particular event.

KD.HoN arrived at DHS 2011 to win it all. The team had been travelling for hours on end and got at their respective hotels. They were determined and full of spirit upon arrival at the Hotel(s) where they could enjoy a small nap before heading over to the DH Arena. Upon arrival, they were to set up and prepare for their first match against Clan Grabbing Pills [GrP] and got an easy victory over the clan they have never met. The second game involved Clan PowerPuffPingLorna [PPP] where this clan has atleast beat their first opponent before facing KD.HoN, there for KD.HoN did not underestimate them, but easily dealt with them in a timely fashion to move on to the Winner's Bracket Semi Final where they will face their most challenging game to that point in the tournament. KD.HoN was facing Clan Online Kingdom [OK], their biggest Nemesis. Things got off to a shaky start with KD.HoN losing the first game to excellent play and drafting from OK. They then went on to the second game where KD.HoN again struggled to find form in the early game stage, making it almost seem as if they would lose the series and be demoted to the losers bracket. But no, they came back in an epic battle where some amazing plays took place and ended up winning the game. They went on to the 3rd Round of the Bo3 series, and clinched it with another immensely important victory, giving them a ton of momentum and confidence to their next game in the Winner's bracket Finals. On the other side of the bracket, Clan Fnatic.MSi made their way through the bracket like a steamtrain on steroids, beating clan Wahl 2-0 in the Semi-Finals and being KD's biggest of the tournament. 

MSI unfortunately went on to win KD.HoN 2-0 in the Winner's Bracket Final, and there for demoted KD to the Loser's Bracket Finals where they were about to face Clan Negative Impulse [Nimp] who just came off an astounding win over OK and knocking them out of DHS 2011 completely. Nimp put up huge resistance and gave KD a fright here and there, but nonetheless KD pulled through and won them 2-0 to move on to the Grand Semi Finals. There the fate of KD will be decided if they would make it through to the Grand Finals, and play live on the huge Dream Arena stage for the first prize of 55 000 SEK. Though it wasnt pretty, KD lost 2-0 to Clan Reason Gaming, who proved too strong for them. Although fatigue was playing a role in KD's Demise, they still stood with their heads held high and walked out with 4th place, after losing the 3rd place playoff against The Source of Gaming [TSOG].

A Statement was given by Era, Team leader of KD.HoN:

Statement from    KD | Era:
Dreamhack was awesome, second time I've been there, but the first time I actually played at a real LAN-event. I liked that it was so many good teams put up in the tournament, but it was rather lame that we had to play like 8-9 hours first evening, to then play again next day 10AM. We didnt get much sleep out of it, myself I had only like 1 hour of sleep, but we did well and it took us to the semifinals.  I'm proud of how far me and my team ended up in the tournament, but we all know that we COULD have done better.  Dreamhack Winter is ours to claim"


The team took a few pictures and we could only find 3/5 players on the photos, TRUENiNJA (now Flora (aka Windcutter Flora)) and Raytoran dodged the camera like bosses. Jerax (Orange shirt black headphones) and Rexi (White shirt and pinkHeadphones) were both caught here whilst enjoying the DreamHack.  The team has grown stronger as a unit and they bonded and formed a friendship, although 4th place wasn't good enough for the team, we at KD-Gaming are proud of our team and their success. A team which has been together for only two months now, they sure gave a good fight against the Seasoned, experienced players of OK, MSI, Rea and TSoG. In the future we wish u guys all the best of luck, play your heart out in each tournament and get yourselves heard and seen! from all of us here at KD-Gaming, congratulations guys on a job well done - now we start preparing for DreamHack Winter 2011!
