Review: Another colorful graphic that stays true to your high standards. I like the vibe this graphic gives off. I love the color gradient and how it blends into the render. The background itself is fun to look at and I feel it is well balanced with the render and not overpowering. I really like the font with this one, it fits the moment. I would only mention the lack of contrast in the render's face. I think some detail would have made this even better. Overall, job well done. I always enjoy your graphics. 9/10

Review: I really like graphics that are highly saturated and full of colors. The star of this show is the background. I have the Adobe stock version of this skyline, you did a lot of work to get it to this point. Very creative with the texture, I am a huge fan of what you did with this one. The render of course looks well placed and you did a good job with blending him into the background. The render matches the rest of the graphic and when you look at it as a whole, it looks very pleasing. Overall, great job. 9/10

Presser for the week ending 3/2 1. Who do you think will be our new GM? 2. Do you plan on staying or open to a trade? 3. It's was a great playoff run, were you ok with the outcome? 4. Anyone can ask questions for a 2 tpe task, did you know that? 5. Nobody really looks at these pressers but the team should be more active, thought? 6. This might be the last time I do a presser for Riga, did I do a good job?

It has been one hell of a ride this season. Riga settled with a wildcard spot after having a strange season where we really didn't get any long win streaks or really even find our rhythm. It all turned out in the end. Had a tough finals against a very “Meta” team that we just could not best. It was still a fun ride and would love to do it again. Riga is waiting for our new GM due to Lemorse stepping down. I kind of saw that coming during the season but was hard to tell as he is a low key GM. I hope he finds his mojo and returns with some jump in his step. It has been a pleasure being a part of his team. This could be the last Riga article for Gunner if a trade ever happens. Gunner needs to find a playoff bound team and try to end his career on a high note. So I am not sure what will happen since the league needs to pick a new GM before any trades will happen. I will just go with the flow and enjoy my last off season. It will be fun earning throughout the season and tweaking my final build without worrying about banking. Life is good. Word count: 215

Da Bears!! Good series

Review: This has got to be one of the most confusing graphic I have seen lately. Don't get take that as a negative, it is very well done. I think the oddity of it all is trying to figure out the theme of this graphic. I think instead of trying to decipher any hidden meaning, I will just focus on the actual elements. I like the render, it is bold and grabs my attention. The taped photo look is kind of cool but not sure what it is taped to, the icy forest? This is just an interesting graphic that is easy to look at. Good job with what you did. 9/10

Review: This is a bright, fun looking graphic the checks most of the boxes. Nice render with a vivid color palette, a background that is bold but not as bold as the render, and some text that is very muted in comparison. The effects, like the particle top layer, seems to help blend the layers to some degree but I think I would have masked it off the render's face. It has some strange spots that don't look normal. Luckily, it doesn't take much away from this fun looking project. I like it overall, really interesting and your skills show through. Great job. 9/10

Presser for the week ending 2/23 Written after our win against Moscow 1. Did you think we would beat Moscow? 2. Would you rather have a short series or a game 7? 3. What do you think makes Riga such a good playoff team? 4. Do you think GM players should stay on the GM's team? 5. It's a sad day to hear our boss Lemorse is stepping down, anything you want to say to him? 6. We are going for another cup. Did you think this was where we would be as we played the season?

This is written before the finals start but I don't think it matters. There has been some talk about the advantage that wildcard teams have against all other teams. While I can see where that theory could be correct, I have been on both sides of that advantage. I have no idea about the stats on the matter but I have been on the losing end being a wildcard team as well as a cup winner being on a wildcard team. If there is something that is unfair, I would want that adjusted out of the league. I am a competitive person. I don't think much about standings or personal stats as much as I used to. It just seems artificial due to half the teams are only playing with the bare minimum player count. It will make a team pile up wins faster than a conference that has more competitive teams. I don't have any answers on the best way to run the league. I would rather have true competition over boosted stats. I think until the league fills out all the rosters, there really won't be a fair competition across the board. I hope the people in charge can pull us out of this low player issue and get back to having solid games against real members. That is my hope, I have no idea how that will be accomplished if it ever is. Let's have a great finals series. Word count: 242

Great series Moscow.

Don't knock it. Moscow was the wildcard that won your cup. I get the point though. Riga won as 3rd seed.
