Admin Victor 10,937 Posted September 20, 2014 Admin Share Posted September 20, 2014 Hello! The second announcement of the 40th anniversary VHL celebrations is here!A while back I posted a 590 which listed teams of Hall of Famers based on their generations. I then posted that it might be a cool idea to hold a tournament between the S18 era and the post-S18 era. Since it was my idea, I have since managed to implement it. Glorious! So, who's involved?---S18 eraJardy Bunclewirth - Markus Strauss - Cam FowlerJukka Hakkinen - Lars Berger - Anton BrekkerTarik Saeijs - Phil Gerrard - Mathias Chouinard*Adam Schultz - Japinder SinghJames Bencharski - David WalcottAidan ShawDaisuke KanouJakob Kjeldsen** - Not inducted into Hall of FamePost-S18 eraTukka Reikkinen - Leeroy Jenkins - Pavel KoradekVolodymyr Rybak - Alexander Chershenko - Jarvis BaldwinDavid Smalling - Phil Rafter - Ansgar SnijiderDaniel Braxton - Ryan SullivanMitch Higgins* - Clark Marcellin*Alexander LabatteCAL GBenjamin Glover* - Not inducted into Hall of Fame---More in-depth information about the players involved will be coming your way shortly in a specially designed subforum in the Hall of Fame section. I also intend to use my doubles historical Media Spot to profile this tournament.The tournament will be a best-of-seven series starting on Monday, with one game simmed every day by our own Mitch Higgins. In before the post-S18 team wins.Furthermore, we're going to experiment with live play-by-plays for this tournament, i.e. post-by-post text commentary of the game based on the sim file. Let me know in this thread or through PM or IM if you are interested in doing this. Ideally, these would be done later in the day, so in the hours starting about now, after Higgins sims in the mornings. And yes, TPE will be had from doing PBPs.---If you are a newer member you will hopefully enjoy learning and seeing some of the greatest players in VHL history or more specifically in the past 20ish seasons. If you're involved with one or even two players, well you should definitely love this.

Da Trifecta 1,896 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I have only witnessed one player actually during his career realistically which was Sullivan. He was God-Tier.

Admin Victor 10,937 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted September 20, 2014 As close as Chouinard will get to the Hall of Fame. And he's only in because I liked him more than Nydroj. Which reminds me, I was going to do a 590 about HMs. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/12326-season-40-hall-of-fame-tournament/#findComment-122737 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorkman imo but he was probably too in between these two time periods. .sniffuM 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/12326-season-40-hall-of-fame-tournament/#findComment-122798 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Victor 10,937 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted September 21, 2014 Bjorkman imo but he was probably too in between these two time periods. I would classify Bjorkman as post-S18 like Koradek. So it was Glover who beat him. What a terrible person.
