Contrary to some rumors, The Oracle League is in full swing preparing for the launch of Heroes 5.

With some exciting tournament ideas for the new Duel Mode feature in addition to as-yet unreleased formats for the classic gameplay, The Oracle League is positioning itself to charge into the Heroes 5 tournament scene with engines full throttle.

A slew of updates today signaled a flurry of activity that will continue even after the release of the game. Starting with the Heroes 5 Open and Main Tournaments, the Oracle League will also be hosting a Duel Mode ladder with separate rankings and statistics, also with an Open and Main format, as well as the Daemon Cave format - a king-of-the-hill type where you challenge other players for the ultimate title of "Lord" of a certain preset. This formats main strength is the removal of non-balanced presets, because each opponent will be using the same preset.
