REVIEW: Nice little draft class for the Helsinki Tits this season! I'd say the graphic is pretty straight forward / minimal, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I like how you color contrasted the bars/text, to give it to some design flare. The straight-on nameplate change of #45 looks reasonable, but the one on #36 is ridiculous. You would want to do 1 and/or 2 things in the situation of 36: 1) Create an individual text layer for EACH letter of the name. This allows for much more customization in terms of placement adjustment and SKEW/PERSPECTIVE transform tool usage. It's more time consuming, but gives a better result. 2) Use the SKEW/PERSPECTIVE tool to "warp" the text layer so it's allignment looks more credible with the way the jersey is alligned. You can youtube a tutorial on photoshop TRANSFORM tool to learn about SKEW and PERSPECTIVE transform. gj 5/10

REVIEW: Don't worry too much hooper. Failing graphics is just as important as making a dope piece in the realms of grinding up your graphic design skill. I like that you used yellow to contrast the green of the jersey as those colors go well together. The text could use a bit of work as it's mostly hidden/unreadable, but I do like the existing text in terms of it's application as a graphic stock. The lens flare is a little heavy handed, I think if you scaled it down a bit and placed it on the helmet where the light hits it in the stock photo (more over the # on the helmet) it would look more natural. Usually shit about jersey logo swap, bad (no) text. Keep working, hooper!! proud of the progress you've made since you started! 6/10

F - Benny Graves D - Tyler Walker @bigAL update ALL the teams picks, not just your own :dead:

1. With the recent hiring of new VHLM GMs, share your thoughts on how this will help the league. Don't pay attention to VHLM affairs, but gm turnover is just a reality in any sim league. Hopefully the commish hired somebody with some sense. 2. Would you be pissed if your player ratings were reset to 40 (you'll still have your tpe)? Nope because I would just finesse my build even better than it is now hehehehe. CUPS PLS. 3. What's one goal in life you want to achieve? It is very adult themed so I cannot post it on such a lovely community like the VHL. Let's just say it involves two beautiful women, a special plant, and an entire afternoon. 4. How has the off-season been for you? Pretty good, it was short and sweet since we had such a nice playoff run in S75. I just chilled and tried to keep my VHL training up to snuff. 5. Chewy or hard chocolate chip cookies? Chewy. I would be scared of anybody who said hard when asked this question, they are some serious gangsters. 6. Quik recently said that we need a new mascot for the team. Do you have any ideas on what our new mascot should be? I personally still love cat on fire, but if we had to choose a new mascot, maybe we could use Charles Barkley, legendary Phoenix Suns basketball hall of famer, on fire.

I'll have some of whatever this guy is smoking.

ferk had a family emergency, pls dont skip him, he will pick as soon as humanly possible

F - Ola Vikingstad D - Randy Marsh @bigAL (you should prob sleep on it before making your next pick)

I thought we had a group of GENTLEMEN, not insta-skippers. I have to work until 1am EST tomorrow, so please do not skip me. It is the only time I should have to ask for a delay in the entire draft, so please have consideration!!!!

Well hello there.

1) Malmo won their first-ever cup yesterday after defeating DC in Game 6. Who were you rooting for in the finals and what were your thoughts on the result? I didn't care too much as I was rooting for Chicago, but I am happy with the result. Good to see Condor Adrienne get a cup to cap off his amazing career, and I'm good pals with hylands who is also on MALMO. Wouldn't have been salty if DCD won (kidding). 2) Now that the offseason has started, there have been a bunch of trades. Do you think there will be more to come? I didn't pay attention but apparently it was a wild off-season for trade. With 16 teams in the VHL, I think it opens up a lot more possibilities for trades, so yeah I'm thinking more are on the way. 3) Speaking of trades, Chicago added Kyl Oferson and Lucas Brandt to the team recently. How do you feel about these acquisitions? Big fan of the moves Jeff made this osseason. Kyl Oferson is a good active to add, who has lots of history with L and R so I think the chemistry will be there. Twists was cool and hopefully his add will give us some good inactive depth. 4) The Season 76 draft is coming up on Friday. We don't have a first round pick (thanks @JeffD), but if we did are there any prospects you'd want us to draft? There was only one or two prospects I was interested in this season, and I think they were mostly 1st round fodder. We should have drafted stevo, I'll tell you that rn. 5) What are your thoughts on the next season? Do you think we can build on our playoff success? I think we are definitely in a good position, and we will be just as, if not more, competitive as we were last season. 6) The world is still chaotic. What's something that you're looking forward to, or something you feel grateful for right now? I'm grateful that the black market supply of marijuana has remained available. Thank you to all the loud growers out there.

Thanks to everybody who helped run this event! Great work everybody.

pfft, I clearly knew, as I wrote: "Two examples come to my mind" before elaborating on just BM's goalie.

DIL had the damn Halifax 21 on his back doe dil if ur reading this, don't leave the VHL -- u gonna bounce back

uhhh, yeah, that's the joke? You got something against gross people? LOL im kidding but I guess I can see your point, I wasn't knocking her down, just making an observation based on historical data, because I really had nothing else to say about the person.

But.... the pronouns/player/render/username are all blatantly feminine so is it REALLY that bad of a thing to comment on, in a public article where the point is to comment on every pick of the first round of the draft?

I'm sorry if you are offended by the gender commentary, I guess it's possible to misconstrue my intention but I assure you malice was not intended. I bust on like 10-15 guys every off-season.

ask Christian Stolzschweiger.
