Meet the Players: NoobG
Care to introduce yourself to those who aren’t as familiar as we are with you?
My name is Lasse Jacobsen – I’m 19, live in Denmark, and I’ve taken this year off following my high school graduation.
Can you tell us a brief history of yourself as a player?
I’ve played in a lot of mid tier clans, but my real competitive debut was with fpbs. Most recently I played in sGty, but I had to leave because I couldn’t attend Dreamhack.
What role do you play?
Hard carry with ghost marchers.
What makes Trademark eSports better than the other teams out there?
I think the magnitude of your success as a team is limited especially by how good you are individually not only are we excellent individual players, but we all have extensive competitive experience to accompany this.
When have you started playing MOBA games, namely DOTA/ HoN?
I never really marked the date of my first HoN game, but I believe it must’ve been ~6 months after beta release if I am to believe my friends (shoutout to xyvh for recommending the game to me). I never played DOTA.
Did you think you’d be where you are today?
I’ve always been on the top of the ladder in games I’ve played long term – to me it was more a question of how long it would take!
Did you look up to any players, or were there people you played with in the beginning?
I really didn’t care too much about the competitive scene before I entered it myself – so no.
Many people have switched to DOTA 2 with good reason. Why are you staying here?
I think HoN has the better gameplay experience, and I don’t really have any foothold in the DOTA 2 competitive scene.
Who are your favorite three heroes to play?
The Dark Lady, Soulstealer, Flint Beastwood – in that order.
What three heroes do you hate going against?
Tremble, Ophelia, Tempest – in that order.
Fun Questions:
Blonde or brunnette?
Blonde
Superpower?
Immortality
Favorite drink?
Cola, although I don’t drink a lot of soft drinks
Favorite hobby outside of video games?
I’ve spent a lot of time on currency trading and poker. My next project will probably be some programming/web design. Off the computer I love tennis and soccer, but I don’t get to play those very often anymore.
If you had to room with another gamer, who would it be and why?
Insania; I like to keep my enemies close (I suspect he’s a terrorist).
League of Legends, or DotA 2?
Dota 2
Favorite TV show?
Game of Thrones – boring answer, I know .
Anything else you’d like to say?
To my fans, sponsors, Trademark eSports, and le boots du yolo.

Care to introduce yourself to those who aren’t as familiar as we are with you?
My name is Linus Blomdin, I am 17 years old and I live in Sweden. Ingame I am more known for my nickname Limmp where I play competetive HoN with Trademark Esports.
Can you tell us a brief history of yourself as a player?
I haven’t really had any big success before this team. I started in a team called from Pubstars [fpbs] where I learned how to play competetive HoN and from there i’ve been in teams like HoNPortal [PORT] and TiG [Team It's Gosu].
What role do you play?
I mostly play on the mid lane as a ganker or soloing another lane.
What makes Trademark eSports better than the other teams out there?
We have a good drafter/leader and a good playstyle.
When have you started playing MOBA games, namely DOTA/ HoN?
HoN was the first MOBA game I played and I started playing it in late beta.
Did you think you’d be where you are today?
Not at all, I didn’t really play it more than for fun til I started playing with a team but even then I didn’t think I would be in a team as good as this.
Did you look up to any players, or were there people you played with in the beginning?
I thought Testie and chu were really awesome because they always bought Portal Key.
Many people have switched to DOTA 2 with good reason. Why are you staying here?
I simply don’t enjoy playing DOTA 2 because of how “laggy” it feels when u come from HoN and I haven’t gotten bored of playing this game yet so I see no reason to switch.

Zephyr, Scout and Bubbles

Ophelia, Devourer and Succubus.

Read MoreMeet the Player: iNsania
Care to introduce yourself to those who aren’t as familiar as we are with you?
Hey, I’m Aydin, more commonly known as iNsania.
Can you tell us a brief history of yourself as a player?
I’ve played for competitively quite some time, but have had most my success in BxF and iG. Before that I used to play for DmSn.
What role do you play?
I play all the “supportish” roles, junglers, secondary support or primary/hard support.
What makes Trademark eSports better than the other teams out there?
Trademark has some of the strongest individual players in the game and under great leadership from a captain that’s been around for a long time and has vast knowledge about the game. All of this united with a great team atmosphere just gives us an edge over the other teams around.
You have been moving teams lately after the disbanding of Blackfade. How’s that been in terms of your in-game performance?
It’s never fun to disband a team or be forced to leave one due to various reasons. Blackfade was great in terms of atmosphere and synergy, but with LezzQQ leaving for the army KheZu and Smackdonald fighting, it felt like we had no other choice. Psychologically it’s draining not to know that you have a stable team and it affects your game play in the sense that you need to learn to adapt to your fellow teammates and sometimes change your style a bit. In the end, it teaches you to be more versatile though, so personally I do believe it’s helped me grow.
When have you started playing MOBA games, namely DOTA/ HoN?
Hard question, I played Dota on Battlenet with my real life friends maybe 5-6 years ago? I started playing HoN during the closed beta, however I quit for SC2 for about 2-3 months, with the exception from that, I’ve been around for the entire history of HoN.
Did you think you’d be where you are today?
Well, the goal was always to become one of the best when you start playing competitively and it’s been a tough road, but yeah, I do believe I did expect to be here, to a certain extent at least.
Did you look up to any players, or were there people you played with in the beginning?
I’ve always looked up to NoVa and fnatic, they’ve always had their own way and it’s usually been them that everyone has “copied” and their styles that have been dominating the game. Nova helped me out a lot in order to grow and become the player I am today, so for that I am very thankful.
Many people have switched to DOTA 2 with good reason. Why are you staying here?
I like playing HoN and I think S2 have been doing a great job of trying to please us, especially Phil the thrill, and making sure they got a constant stream of communication with us. For m, there simply hasn’t been a reason to switch, I enjoy HON more and s2 are trying to improve and better themselves where they have previously failed.
Who are your favorite three heroes to play?
Tempest, Andromeda, and Legionaire.
What three heroes do you hate going against?
Pharaoh, Devourer and Fayde.
