Shaw Journey: from the M to the E to the big league

[Dabnad 177]

Alright, everyone, Shaw is back for another article. Today we will be talking about the journey of Shaw going all the way from the M in Mexico City, to Geneva in the land of the Swiss, and now in Malmo, for forever and ever (until Mr. Kaleeb @KaleebtheMightytrades me). Today we will be talking about how the leagues are different, how people and your experience are different, what changes there are in the different leagues, and some things which remain the same no matter where you go in the league. This is about to be an article of decent length so sit tight and relax and have fun with this article. 

Alright, first we start with the baby leagues and talk about the VHLM. This league is the first league you go into when you first come into the league (or make a new player). The VHLM ( or the M for short) is where you start learning about the league. You learn about how the league works and what you do in it. For Shaw, this was his first season ever. He had learned about this league from a YouTube channel and thought “Oh! This seems fun” and made a player. He had absolutely no idea what this was, or that he was in for the time of his life. In this land of Mexico, Shaw met two and a half men and his GM. First, he met his GM, whose name was Youloser @youloser1337. This man was one-third of the reason that the article that you are reading this article right now. The next person that has heavily influenced me into staying in this league in my long-time father friend by the name of Arcey @Arce. Any other variation of his name is incorrect it’s not RC that’s a remote-controlled car. Arcey was my guide, mentor, and the person who helped me stay in this league by teaching me the basics of this league along with You(loser). Him and You taught me my alphabet in the league. The next person who Shaw met in the league is my year-long friend (I keep my friendships for a long time) and currently the guy I put my body on the line for, Mr. Cat @comrade cat. I’m surprised his name hasn’t been banned from the league yet. Mr. Cat and I go back some time, including recording 3 podcasts of an hour each year having nothing to show for it, from the M and now the big leagues, he’s been a helpful friend while being a guide for what to expect. The last half-man who I met in this league was none other than the infamous, the impossible, the iconic, LEMORSE @Lemorse7. Mr. Lemorse helped teach Shaw the bigger parts of the league later on in his career however, they first met in Mexico City, Lemorse had also coined the term The Three Mosquitos (derived from the three musketeers) referring to the bond for Cat, Shaw, and Arce. These guys made a decent run in the VHLM however, the very next year, all three left the VHLM for the VHLE where  Shaw and Acrey left for Geneva and Boris went to Rome. 

 

Geneva was an interesting experience from the M. In the M, you’re guided every step of the way, while in the E, you have some freedom but also have enough guidance. As most of you are old enough, think elementary school going into middle school. In the E, I hadn’t met many people except the very famous man Minion. I still haven’t found his real age, gotten numbers from 14 to 41. Minion, and having some help from Arcey, helped the transition from the M to the E fairly smooth with minimal bumps. The E was a fun experience, teaching you what you’re going to need to know for the big league without really rushing you into it which is nice. I like the concept of the league in the middle as it helps slow things down. Other than that, not much happened in the E. This was mainly just a way to not get stuck in the VHLM for too long and not get bullied in the VHL so it was a good thing since it encouraged us to keep on earning to get into the VHL. The VHLE had a lack of playoffs for Shaw however, he definitely appreciated the stuff in the VHLE to help the transition.

Between the VHLE and the VHL, the entire league saw a huge change, the change from regular attributes to hybrid attributes. This, surprisingly, did not hurt Shaw as much as most people. This was as a result of Shaw having a single category focused and since he was still in the E, he had time to see what he should and shouldn’t change. Along with guidance from Minion and Lemorse, the transition from such a big change in between these two leagues was fairly smooth sailing.

 

 Now, in the VHL, we go to Malmo. It’s been 4 years since I got here, we first had @Domas our GM. Now guess who our AGM was, yep you guessed it, in fact even my keyboard guessed it, it was Lemorse. The VHL is probably the most interesting league of them all. It’s like high school, you have the independence to choose what classes you want but have some restrictions depending on your team. Similarly, you have the guidance you need, however it’s mainly on yourself to choose what you want. The VHL has been quite the ride, in fact I will probably be writing an article about the VHL itself soon so I won’t go into too much depth about it right now, but to summarize it, this season, I also met @animal74who was a great veteran and guide to my carrer. Dom got one of the mosquito back for the low low price of a 4th. Dom and Lemorse both had to retire from their posts due to personal reasons, we now have @KaleebtheMightyrunning this whole operation so he must get his sidekick who was @Spaz. We also meet many other people during this time including veteran defence man Max Torq @Steveand rookie Mo Probert @ItsScoot.

 

 

Alright everyone, so that was a short summary of how the league works from Shaw’s perspective and different experiences from the different leagues. I won’t bore you with the outro, this will be Dabnad Shaw, signing off one more time, until next time, this is Dabnad Shaw signing off.
