After the removal of Daniel "Skyzoe" Marklund from the team, ex-Lions has decided to take a new direction. They have decided to leave the competitive scene as a team. Below are the further statements regarding the lack of motivation.
The team was one of, if not the strongest HoN team at present. Their notable achievements include a 1st place finish at NASL's first HoN Season, 1st place in the Twitch TV Challenge and 3rd place at DreamHack Winter.
Johan "Mynuts" Andersson's made his statement on the situation:
You can count me out as well. I've been wanting to leave for a while but been convinced to stay for various reasons by friends and fans. But enough is enough, doesn't seem like this SK sponsorship is happening, probably because there's no announcements about anything.......
Adrian "Era" Kryeziu's statement and official word of the team's shift:
I just wanted to thank everyone that have supported us as a team and for those that have supported me as a player. And also leave it clear that EX-LION's is no more.
With the lack of both motivation and tournaments, we've decided to leave the competitive-scene as a team. We are all grateful for all the support you have given us. But this is the end for us.
I suppose we'll try to make the move to DotA 2 and try our luck there. I might be playing as a ringer here and there in HoN if there is anything. Because no matter how much I try to turn it, I do love this game. And it's unfortunate that it has come to this.
Yours highly; Mynuts, Reelo, Fittske and Era. Over and out!
