S82 World Cup of Hockey GM's Announcement

[Spartan 4,405]

Hello everyone!

 

@Minion and I have been fortunate to take over the reigns of World Cup commissioner, and are excited to officially kick off the S82 World Cup of Hockey! In a nod to the way the tournament was run last time, and after noting the sheer amount of off-season opportunities for people looking to break into the world of GM'ing, we have decided to once again send out invitations to members around the league who have either cemented themselves as proven GMs in this league - or are folks we think are going to be the next top GMs. With the World Cup being a clash of the absolute top players in the league under the flags of their home countries and regions, it only made sense to select the most competitive and passionate GMs as well to maintain the high standard of play we expect from this tournament.

 

In a slight tweak, we would also like to announce a slight re-alignment of the teams competing in the tournament. With the prevalence of European players, and a slight decrease in high end players in other major regions, Team Mercenaries will not exist for this World Cup. Instead, we will be adding Team East Europe, effectively splitting the existing Team Europe into East and West. If you're curious about which nations fall into East and West Europe, feel free to peruse the breakdown at this site here. Team World will continue to finish their roster with leftovers from any other region, effectively making up for the loss of Mercenaries this season.

 

Without further ado, and with much hype, please welcome the selected GMs:

Team World apparently didn’t get the memo since they picked their roster first meaning they don’t know who the leftovers are.

It was just a note of how Team World would function IF they needed more players to complete their rosters. Fortunately, they were pretty deep this time around

Hopefully the previous GM of Canada didn't trade away all of their picks (2 firsts and seconds in 84 btw)
