The reigning and defending Hon Tour Diamond Division champions Stay Green are the third team that officially gets the invite for the SoundBlaster Heroes League with a total prize pool of $40,000 USD.

Coming off of impressive showings in the latest Hon Tour Diamond Division cycles, Stay Green has made a name for themselves. With two third place finishes and the championship in the third cycle they are at the second place in the Hon Tour rankings and have their eyes set on a direct qualification for the Offline finals in April. On top of that they now join Trademark eSports, compLexity Gaming, N9 Gaming and One Trick Pony in the Champions Bracket of the SoundBlaster Heroes League, which will be played out in the end of February.

The team around captain swindlemelonzz is the fastest rising team ever since it was formed in the DreamHack Destination tournament a couple of month back. Positive results after that included a direct qualification for the DreamHon festivities, a second place finish in the Hon Tour qualifier and the previously mentioned third place finishes in cycle one and two, as well as the championship in the latest cycle. They have had a positive track record against the team of compLexity Gaming in recent cycles, but have not proven themselves against the two-time Hon Tour champion Trademark eSports - yet.
