This media spot was great as the formatting of the article was good. The word selections were also great. I liked how you listed every single player's stats. The All-VHLM first-team squad you assembled did include the best players in the league. Your writing quality is also at an extremely high level, but you don't need to be at a high reading level to understand it. That is a skill that many great writers lack, and you do not.

This media spot was very well formatted. However, in my opinion, as you got down to the end of the media spot, you should've left space between the lines. It had caused me to lose interest since I couldn't see the separation easily like I could when you stated the people who had made it into the all-star competition. Still, though, I enjoyed reading. I liked how you researched these players very thoroughly. Great work!

1. We have officially crossed the halfway point of this season, S92. Through a half season of play, what are you overall thoughts on our team?
I think we're doing pretty good rn just as long as everyone can keep earning. Tbh I have been getting a little bored so hopefully nobody else does
2. It's Theme Week! This season's theme for Theme Week is "All-Star". What are you planning on doing for Theme Week? Have you already submitted a Media/Graphic/Podcast?
I claimed welfare
3. Weekly tasks sometimes turn into a bore. VHL.com's might not be as interesting as they use to be, or you may get trivia wrong and lose all motivation... If you could choose a new way to earn TPE, what would your task of choice be?
Player cards prob
4. Halfway through the season is usually when players finally feel their groove. Daily games create great routines! What is your routine in order to be ready for each and every single game?
tbh idk ig rest
5. If you had to choose between only winning team awards, or only winning individual awards, which would you choose and why?
If it's a championship by team awards i'd say team awards but anything else tbh individual. Only team award i'm tryna get is a cup.
6. Almost February! One month of 2024 gone already, has anything cool/interesting happened to you in this first month?
Not really ig the lions did briefly good

Houston and San Diego have had a ton of meetings. However, only one side has ever been able to come out on top. And that is... San Diego. Houston, this whole season, hasn't won a SINGLE GAME against San Diego. Today we will analyze a few games and why this is.
Game 125
This is the first matchup we will look at. This was... embarrassing to say the least. The final score was 5-2. San Diego outshot Houston 38-28. To be honest, looking at the transcript play-by-play... I can't tell you why this happened. Through my brief skim, it looks like Houston just missed shot after shot after shot. Houston was also being LIT UP in the hits section. Houston also hadn't taken great shots, considering the .929 save percentage of the San Diego goalie, Samuel Wazinski @samthemancub. The goaltending on Houston's side was weak, with Ondrej Vencko having a .868 save percentage @MuttiHopefully, though, Houston can get back at San Diego finally and win a matchup against them.
Till next time

HOUSTON BULLS PRESSER!
Hello and welcome to this week's Houston Bulls Presser! The Bulls are on a bit of a heater and I am pumped for another week of games to play. Already completing a quarter of the season and continuously signing players, we are cruising through S92! Please answer each question to your best ability.
Answer three questions for 1 capped TPE or six for 2 capped TPE!
For the Week Ending Jan 28th, here are your questions!1. We are on a hot streak, 10-3 in our last 13 games played! What has been the strengths of our recent success? Has any player stood out?
2. Houston is currently 4th seed in the Western Conference battle, 5 points behind the 1st seed Las Vegas Aces. What will be our ranking by the end of this week? Will our success continue or fall apart?
3. What has your player been up to recently? We only see each other so much at the rink, what does your player do in their leisure/free time?
4. We win some and we lose some, centers that is. Tyler Lawson @Nyx, Murray Connolly @Blakemac22, Micah Cederbaum@MicahC, and Bolor Khan @Bolor Khan join the team all so suddenly to fill out our forward core. With 4 full lines, lines seemingly become more competitive for the forward core. What are your thoughts towards sharing ice time fairly and competitively?
5. Lucy Leitner @LucyXpher and Benjamin Abenduct @Schnee continue to dominate on the blueline. Both defenders currently sit equal at 4 points above their own games played. How many points do you think they will finish with by playoffs? I'm hoping one of them can crack the 90 point milestone.
6. Speaking of playoffs, how much TPE do you think your player will have by then? What build are you hoping to achieve by the first round?
To claim TPE:
Go to the portal > Player > Manage > Claim Capped > Type > Press Conference
Thank you to everyone who participates in these pressers, I read all of your answers!Let's Go Bulls!
1. Lucy Leitner has performed great imo. Just all of our defense in general.
2. Our success will continue. I see us being at a higher rank.
3. Artav has been a man of the spa. A majority of his expenses are at the spa
4. I think it's nice to have a full 4 lines. It just feels like my player has dropped significantly in performance since these new players.
5. Like 80.
6. 200. Already close to it so yea

This was an interesting media spot. I like how you tied it in with the fact that you were drafted to Mexico City with the tequila part. I also like how you kept including the friends that you had in previous media spots (Millie and Moxxie). You're pretty much creating a whole lore for your player. I also was kept interested in the story at the start with a ton of detail. I just feel like the story had less quality at the end.

Oh, honey, welcome to the era of tech-savvy shenanigans!
AI is like the glitter of the digital age – it gets everywhere! 
Major kudos to our PT head and the unsung heroes, the updaters, for playing AI whack-a-mole! 
You guys are the true guardians of the VHL realm! 
I feel you on the AI invasion, but there's something magical about crafting your own masterpiece, right?
The thrill of hitting that "Publish" button and waiting for the virtual applause – nothing beats it! 
Podcasting is the unsung hero, a sanctuary of spontaneous thoughts in a world gone digital! 
And don't even get me started on that Spotify playlist – it's like a time capsule waiting to be revived!

This was a brilliant read to be honest. I agree with all these as I love seeing what people have to say about my posts, but if it was written by ai it's true emptiness.

In S74 when I joined, there was the massive recruitment drive a couple days after me, and in Miami we ended up with 4 or 5 really active first gens all signing up at basically the same time. As a new member, it was cool to have a lot of people at the same stage of their VHL careers who all wanted to improve and I think that environment helped motivate and push us all to improve together. GM Rice was a big part of it too. I see the same kind of thing happening right now, maybe in a couple of VHLM places, but especially in Houston!
It's nice to hear from a veteran player like you. I feel like that is what's happening in Houston!

Today, we will be doing a deep dive into the top 7 VHLM team's top TPE goalie. It will go in order from the top teams to the bottom teams. Now, let's get into it!
Las Vegas Aces - Hugo Boss
Hugo could have performed better, with a 0.897 save percentage. His goals-against average is 3.28. However, in the wins column, he's been a great goalie with a 10-1-1 record. The person who controls this player is a well-known member of the community (dil) I think he hasn't performed well but managed to have 10 wins due to the team scoring loads of goals. By the end of the season, I think Hugo will be elite.Miami Marauders - Shaunca
Shaunca has performed incredibly with a 1.69 goals-against average and a 0.92 save percentage. He has held the net down well with an 8-1-1 record. He also has one shutout. I'd say this is one of the better goalies here in the VHLM. However, nearing the end of the season, Shaunca will be lagging behind other goalies due to Shaunca only doing welfare and practice each week.Philadelphia Reapers - Jorgen Lovstrom
Jorgen has also performed great, with a 0.924 save percentage and a 2.18 goals-against average. They also have an 8-2-0 record and one shutout. This goalie is capping almost every week with VSN pay. This player started out with 102 base TPE which is very good. I think this goalie at the end of the season will be an elite weapon.So far, I feel like the past two goalies have both been better than Hugo, but haven't received the same weaponry that Las Vegas has.
Ottawa Lynx - Alexander ovieckin jr
This goalie is a big dropoff from previous goalies. Recording a 0.893 save percentage and a 3.43 goals-against average from Russia, this is a big weakness for Ottawa and will continue to be for the whole season. This is a 78 tpe goalie who is only doing practice and welfare each week. His team has been scoring a lot of goals, however, so he has a 7-3-2 record currently.San Diego Marlins - Samuel Wazinski
Samuel Wazinski is an overwhelmingly average goalie, with a 0.912 save percentage and a 2.43 goals-against average. This goalie isn't performing too bad right now due to the high base tpe he started with. At the end of the season, he will be a weakness though due to only claiming welfare and practice each week.Mexico City Kings - Aleksanteri Kaskiniemi-Kekkonen
I like this goalie and in a different media spot, I made talking about each West conference team's strengths and weaknesses I did point Aleksanteri out. This is a great 145 tpe goalie who isn't performing well. To be honest, I don't know why. Their save percentage is 0.902 and goals-against average is 2.8. This is an average statline but this player should be performing much better than they are currently. I think at the end of the season, this player will be one of the top goalies in the VHLM stat-wise.Houston Bulls - Ondrej Vencko
This goalie has been performing badly, but I have faith in Ondrej. Vencko has been capping every week and is a very dedicated first-gen. Ondrej has a 0.87 save percentage and a 3.37 goals-against average. I like this goalie and I am excited for what's to come later in the season.That wraps up today's deep dive into the VHLM's goalies. Thank you for reading, and so long from Jake.
