It is quite a tumultuous start into this Thursday morning with the Heroes of Newerth servers getting the latest update to 3.0 and several HoN Tour Diamond teams changing up their roster.

The saddest news is the disbandment of Domain of Pain, a team that has produced in the latest cycle of the Diamond Division. After falling to the Lower Bracket fairly early on they proved their strength in several matches, eliminating Call It Karma and Mistral Gaming on their way to a single-digit placement. It looked like they would be moving up slowly and living up to the hype and buzz, that surrounded the team from day one.

Now the members Parakletos, AngryTestie and Emperor are left without a team, while CHEESEHELMET and Jeppins are moving to Tt eSports to replace Riser_ and give the roster some depth.

Tt eSports will now act and play with a complete North American roster, because former captain wyt` will take on the substitute role. In a statement on Facebook and on the HoN Forums the fan favorite and long-time member of Tt eSports and Frenetic Array explained, that some real-life stuff won't allow him to play of Monday Mornings - one of the regular playing slots for HoN Tour. His role as captain will be filled by LeonBlack`, another long-time member of Tt eSports who represented the team with success at two DreamHack events.

Tt eSports Roster:

LeonBlack`
Moraivus
Ensoe
CHEESEHELMET
Jeppins
wyt` (Substitute)

Jeppins and CHEESEHELMET already have history with the team, as CHEESEHELMET was always very close to the members of Tt eSports and helped them out when they needed a ringer occasionally. Now he will be tagged as a full-time member of the team. Jeppins also served for the team as a ringer, he took over Riser_'s spot at DreamHack Winter 2012 after Riser_ couldn't travel to Sweden to compete. With Jeppins competing for the team they could reach a second place in the group stage and were able to win the Bronze Medal against Orange eSports.

Leaving Tt eSports is Riser_, who has accepted an offer to be the new fifth of compLexity Gaming. Ever since Chessie moved to Stay Green and was in dispute with his team in terms of contractual obligations, coL was actively looking for a new member to help out the team. The latest HoN Tour cycle they used LezzQQ as a fifth, but now they revealed Riser_ as their permanent solution for that position.

Rumours around that acquisition were flowing around for quite a while now, because of heavy scrimming efforts on compLexity's side with Riser_ as a part of it. Now he is officially tagged up and will be the newest addition to compLexity's roster - looking to become a major factor once again.

The new rosters will be in affect this weekend when the fifth cycle of HoN Tour kicks off. This change will also affect the first Garena Star League qualifier as Domain of Pain was one of the teams qualified for that event. Replacement in that event would be Pikachu on spot 18 in the current standings, as QsQ 777 on position 17 is most likely going to replace Fack You Kurdi.
