Changes & Big Cup Win!

[InstantRockstar 1,243]

To use the phrase 'emotional roller-coaster' over the last couple of weeks would be absolutely one way to put how this week has gone for me. I started off my third finals appearance tied 1-1, we then went down 3-1... needless to say, I was quite glum. I felt like I was once again going to toss away a prime opportunity to capture some championship 'gold' for my team and I really struggled to let that fact go. I submitted some new lines and I decided to run with them for the next game, and possibly the next game after that, sure enough, luck would be on my side and we'd win to now be down 3-2, I was still sweating, one game could change my whole 'GMing' career and put me 0/3 in the finals, but then a miracle happened, and another win came across my screen, the series was now tied 3-3. I was having flashbacks to the M, where this had happened to me once before, I won a championship via reverse sweep and now I was focused... game 7 was live simmed and I was there to see the action unfold, a 3-1 win despite being heavily outshot as Boris stood tall in net... and captured the cup for Rome. I couldn't have been any happier in that moment, finally after 2 failed seasons of making it to the finals, a bittersweet moment was shared amongst the whole team... we brought it home. 

Not even a full week later, in fact in the same week I won the cup, I'd get the DM I've been waiting nearly 3 years for... not only did I have the honor and privilege of bringing my team a cup, but I was now being offered a position to go to the big leagues, and take over the LA Stars. I've made some mistakes in my life, no question about that, I've made some enemies here, burnt bridges that people won't ever try to build back, and I've coped with that, but one of my biggest achievements here is finally making it to the pros. Over the years I've tried to make changes for the betterment of myself in the league, and I'm glad to see those efforts have been seen. I'm very proud of where I've come and just thought I'd share with everyone my excitement and my journey over the last week or two. It's been one hell of a ride, but now the games have just begun...
