What’s up VHL as the GM of team world I’m proud to announce, the team world roster for the S81 season. I choose these players based of activeness, TPE, and my own player since @lidz decided not to put him as backup. Even though he was the second best TPE goalie. Even though I doubt my player will start any games for team world.

It has been a far more emotional exit from my VHLM team, The Mexico City Kings than I had initially thought. Throughout the course of the season, Mexico City drastically improved and the locker room became an active one, and a fun one to be apart of in S81. For being a team full of waiver wire players, I have to say I’d say we exceeded expectations. @youloser1337and @Vicedid an A+ job running the team and locker room. They made sure all TPE opportunities were known, and always answered questions from our players. I am really glad I chose Mexico City for my first M team. I am going to miss it, and wish nothing but success for the Kings. I am excited for Ronan Lavelle to move onto the E, and to work with @Moon, another fantastic GM in Houston as his AGM to try to help the Bulls thrive.

IXAZALUOH TRAINS IN TORONTO

In our last article, we managed to catch up with the ever-so elusive Cadmael Ixazaluoh, the Guatemalan Defeseman with the bite for blocking shots. He recently made his way to Toronto to begin his work with the Toronto Legion, but not before some off-season formalities, including the potential World Junior Championship selection. Because of his age and experience, Cadmael will be able to qualify for the World Junior Championship for Team World, which he is all but assumed to be chosen for. As usual, we manage to catch up with Cadmael between practices to ask him about his thoughts:
 
Interviewer: "Cadmael! Cadmael!"

Cadmael: "Ah! Buenas! What can I do for you today?"

Interviewer: "Cadmael, we know you're on a tight schedule so we will keep this as brief as we can. Are you going to be selected for Team World?"

Cadmael: "Maybe. I have been in touch with the front office of Team World and I am hoping that I have proven myself to at least be a worthy leading presence if selected."

Interviewer: "Cadmael, you're coming off quite a season in the VHLE, are you expecting the same kind of output in the VHL?"

Cadmael: "You know, I can only hope that I produce as half as well as I did in the E. The VHL is a whole different league and I will need to adapt quickly if I am to overcome this."

Interviewer: "You have been quite active in the Locker Room of Toronto despite not playing a game with them, how has your interactions with the team helped you prepare for the VHL?"

Cadmael: "Well it's good to be able to have some veterans to lean on, especially when you'll be playing with them next season. The quicker I can get to know them, the quicker we can start winning.

Interviewer: "Thanks for your time Cadmael."

Cadmael: "Hasta pronto."
 

Until next time!

He went after my teammates I had no choice! 

Thank buddy

Real hot head @Agito. Way to go pal.
 
haha

Thanks everyone for the nominations! It really means a lot!

It's a good start! I would certainly love to see you use some layers to make somethings in your image pop. The jersey swap is well done, though work with a dark brush on the logo to make it look like it's a part of the jersey fabric itself. I like to just match the existing creases on the players jersey and continue them over the logo. The issue with using the same color on the text with the jersey is that some parts can be harder to read than others, mitigate this with a dark drop shadow of the text. A great foundation piece! Keep it up! 8/10

1. hmm no not really i met some nice people and i hope my team drafts them in the vhle but there really isnt anything
2. i dont really care about all star games i only care for regular and playoffs 
3. pacific 
4. Atlantic 
5. none i starve in russia you eat dirt and gravel
6. fuck em i love my dumb ass fox  

Review:
I think it was effective, definitely can see a lot of work was put into it. I think the Name change is really well done. The jersey colouring seems a bit more purple than I would think would be on the Legion jersey. I do like the idea and the overall look is solid. I like the CN Tower completing the ring of the O in Toronto; shows a lot more creativity and effort than most sigs. Probably could have made this smaller, even if you reduced the height by 1/3rd, might not feel like as much open space. good work! 8/10
 

Very nice graphic! I think the overall effects of the ice texture is very well integrated, I also loved the faded out Legion logo on the left there. I feel that you could have done a bit more with the name font, but to be fair, thats my same issue. I have a hard time figuring out what else to do with the text. Overall though, well done! 8/10

Ixazaluoh Spotted in Toronto

In our last piece, we discussed the quick exit from Cadmael Ixazaluoh after the heartbreaking defeat of the Bratislava Watchmen. It was confirmed to this VHL correspondent that Ixazaluoh has been spotted in Toronto, as was suspected after his sudden departure from Europe. This confirms that he will most likely be called up by the Legion in the coming weeks, expecting to be playing for the pro-team in Season 82.
He was noted to be in higher spirits than when the Watchmen lost, however, the loss seemed to still weigh heavy on him. Our reporter managed to grab his attention for a few questions:
 
Reporter: "Cadmael! Welcome to Toronto! Are you excited to be here?"
Cadmael: "Yes, very. The weather is very cold and it is very nice to be back in a big city! This reminds me of Philadelphia, but much much colder."
Reporter: "Indeed, Cadmael! And Canada is certainly happy to have you here! Are you hoping to have a big impact here?"
Cadmael: "Most certainly. The Legion have been on the precipice of something great and I hope to be that little extra to push them beyond."
Reporter: "You will be joined by a few others as well, seeing the talent in the Toronto pipeline must be very promising for you, among them, your old linemate George Sanderson."
Cadmael: "I am eager to help be a part of a new generation of players in Toronto. You are also correct, I am most excited to be reunited with George."
Reporter: "Before I let you go, Cadmael, you had some people worried after leaving Bratislava so quickly, do you-"
Cadmael: "Yes. I hold myself to a higher standard, and so when I do not perform to my own standard, I tend to take it a bit harsher. I am so grateful to Bratislava for being my home the past season, my only regret was not winning them a cup."
 
With that, he walked off toward the practice arena. Cadmael is certainly maturing quickly, the league tending to do that with these young men and women. Will he see the success he craves in Toronto?

Despite the unfortunate outcome, the graphic is very well done! The layering is very well done and I think the simplicity of it is what makes this such a good graphic. There isn't any specific thing that I would improve or add to, though I would have loved to have seen the league logo integrated somewhere in there, that why it would also look like a graphic a professional social media team would put out. Awesome! 9.5/10

Cadmael Ixazaluoh has been called up by the Toronto Legion.

Review: This is a very nice graphic. From the centering on the tower to the waterline and buildings in the wording and the render itself. Not only did you do a good job swapping the colours on the jersey, you also added a logo on the shoulder that wraps around and looks great, as well as the flag of Guatemala on the helmet. The smoke rising from the bottom helps add a little bit extra and blend into the whole graphic. 9.5/10 I really like it

Since the AGM was chosen, I will instead take the opportunity to congratulate @Shindigs and wish the front office the best! I think his next step should be to hop on IRC and get some sick HTML backgrounds for his profile. (PS Put me in your top 8 😎) I don't think it's my spot to even say. It was a team effort the whole year and unfortunately I don't feel I pulled my fair share. I'm sure it'll ride out just fine. Welp. I would have eaten flan.
