Suggestion: Eventually start up a VHL League in Asia

[Will3 411]

With the VHL's starting a new league in Europe, this is probably a bad time to consider this idea. Still I feel the need to get this thought off my chest. The VHLA would consist of 6 teams. These are the team names for the teams.

Beijing Dragons

Toko Terrors 

Hong Kong Howlers

Soul Tigers

Sidney Singers

Wellington Orcs

This is not a plan for today. This is a crazy dream of what the VHL could look like in the distant future.

The Orcs

Mumbai Monsoons

 

There is an actual interesting lore behind that name. Orcs are a major part of The Lord of the Rings. The Lord of the Rings movies were filmed in New Zealand. Wellington is the capital of New Zealand. Logically it is simular to the Baltimore Ravens of the NFL. Both reference art important to the area.

Wuhan

African league too

 

Congo Crush

Nigeria Heatwave 

Botswana Diamonds

Kenya Long Necks

Tanzania Wild Dogs

Madagascar Stripes

Zimbabwe Rivermen 

 

Actually make it the VHLAA and both will have their own conference.. Battle for the biggest continent!

 

150-300 TPE range!

Another thought.. 14 teams is a lot but it could be mostly bots and teams will have a max of 6-8 players, chance to score some big numbers in a more quiet league 

 

Only kept thinking of this because a lot of teams over there might have a few star players

 

Why not use free agents in place of bots? Is there anything against that??

Wuhan Warriors

 

It is named so because Wuhan sounds close to Wukong. Sun Wukong is a mythological Chinese warrior best known by his Japanese name Sun Goku. The team is named after mythology and I like alteration in team names.

It could operate similarly to the Junior Showcase but in the regular season. Players could play in the VHLAA while waiting for a VHLM contract. Both junior waiting to get noticed and VHLM free agents in between contracts.

Bombay Stars

Brisbane Brawlers

Perth Power

3 Conferences Africa, Asia, and Oceania (Australia and New Zealand) 

Top two teams from each conference plus top two remaining teams compete for the playoffs.

[Will3 411]

Kuala Lumpur Connectors

Singapore Seamen

Those two should lead to having six team in each conference.

Some more great ideas, maybe too many teams. Easy fix though, just do a vote to see what teams the league would like to see! The VHL is already all over the map so we don't want to emulate them.. 3 conferences is different

 

Maybe this could be an alteanative for the minors and also be a place all teams can send down players (since you cant do it in the E with limited teams) but if we cant use the free agents or draftees who go inactive without a contract but still remain on a VHL roster. We want it somewhat active and not full of inactives..

 

Wonder if running it on an alteanate timeline during the dry times would help the site to, kind of like you said it being something like the Junior Showcase

 

Okay I think we are putting way too much work into this idea.. @Will3 you could make an article out of this
