3. Bratislava Watchmen (7.0)

It may be the last team on my list, but I like this team a lot. The location is prime, and I would like to be around people from there. The reason why this is lower on my list is the identity. I'm not talking about the name or design; I'm talking about the overall scheme. It just doesn't roll off my tongue enough to make me want to repeat it during interviews. I do see tonnes of stuff to discover, though.

------------------------

3. Oslo Storm (7.0)

I remember this team when it was in Minnesota, and I like how simple it is; the colours are neat, and it's got plenty of fans from being a successful club, so help would be there. I'm not sure if I want to dedicate myself to the logo, though; I would rather something cuter or abstract. I would also rather make a name for myself on a newer team, so that would discourage me when creating content.

 

2. Vasteras Iron Eagles (7.5)

When I read the team name, it reminds me of a Pokemon named Skarmory for some reason. I don't know a whole lot about the history of this team, but Sweden is a really cool country. I don't see many flaws to put it lower on my list or any shining details to move it higher; it is definitely a little more interesting than the others overall.

------------------------

2. Rome Gladiators (7.5)

When the league was first formed, everything about Rome was perfect from memory. Now, since I'm going at it with a little more sense, I don't see myself really enjoying being a Gladiator. All I can think about is cement and steel when I read the name, and I'd rather a more serene spot to spend my time. Again, because it has a minor detail gone wrong for me, I don't see this team as one of my favourites, but there's stuff to discover, so it gets a higher rank on my list.

 

1. Stockholm Vikings (8.0)

Similar to Vasteras, I really like Nordic countries and have looked up to players from there my whole life, making it a desired spot for me. The name is a good choice too. That's it, though. Like many of the VHLE teams, I don't know a whole lot about the Iron Eagles, but that's a good thing because I'm here to learn. 

------------------------

1. Cologne Express (8.0)

Notice that I didn't rank any teams higher than an 8, but that's for good reason; I'm going to give it a season to change my thoughts. Initially, this would have been a max rating, but I'm taking a step back. I do like the train, but it's not really fun; I like the location, but it's kind of boring, like Rome; and it's a dynasty; I'd rather help a newer/underdog team. Colours are the only thing raising this to the top; guess that tells you how I really feel about the other teams right now. My time with the Istanbul Red Wolves turned out to be amazing; you never know.
