The CIS region in Heroes of Newerth is one of the emerging forces in the scene today. With a steady flow of content and good teams the CIS region is not only making a push for better performances at the DreamHoN events, but also on upcoming clashes with the international server regions in Thailand and in the SoundBlaster Heroes League.
