Heroes Of Newerth Marathon Sets New World Record

Heroes Of Newerth Marathon Sets New World Record

None

According to a recent press release, Heroes of Newerth has managed to get its name into the Guinness Book of World Records.

Last weekend, pro gamer Sam “Milkfat” Braithwaite finished a seventy-six-hour long play session of HoN. The previous world record for longest time playing a strategy game was fifty-two hours.

“I’ve been training for this for months,” said Braithwaite , “Even at the hardest times, I felt like I had to keep going for the charity and accomplish what I had set out to do.”



Yes, Sam was doing this entire run for a good cause: Doctors Without Borders. He managed to raise over $3,700 for the charity, which S2 games, the creators of Heroes of Newerth, will match. In addition, all the ad revenue from the livestream of his event will go to charity as well. Now, that is a way to truly make a difference with hardcore gaming.

We are fairly certain Sam will be taking a break from HoN for a while. At least long enough to sleep a little, anyway.
