PSA: Don't bother do read. "Lore" ramblings.

[leandrofg 1,162]

This season's "Theme Week" theme caught me by surprise. Not only did Beketov make another VHLE joke, but at the same time, had created one of those scenarios where you're immediately disappointed with the outcome of a situation you thought had been taken care of.

 

The VHLE would, without a doubt, have been an easier theme to write about this week. Not only has the league ceased to exist this season, but I was fond of it and would have quite a lot to write about. But instead... "Lore."

 

My first thought was, "What the fuck?"

 

As time passed, I couldn't answer the easiest question. Which interrogative pronouns should I use? "What" should I explore or write a story about. About "when" should my story be written? Or "who" should be the subject of my theme week ramblings.

 

As you might have noticed already, although I'm still exploring the theme, I've been meticulously wandering around the tile, not necessarily in circles, since some might even say I haven't moved from the starting point. Although, I feel differently. Much like the Conor McDavid of VHL words, I've been zigging and zagging around the start of this story for almost half of the planned duration of this Media Spot.

 

By now, Grammarly wants to beat me up and is giving me harsh feedback and the lowest "engagement" score I've seen until now. I wish I had Pro.

 

Anyway, Calgary's Locker Room is a fantastic place to be. I would go so far as to say that it is one of the best places to hang out, if not the best, which by itself could be misconstrued as VHL lore itself, but that's not why I brought it up.

 

Instead, one of the usual suspects around said Locker Room gave me the idea of what I'm about to write under 200 words about.

 

Who is the best "Lore", "lore", "-Lore" or "-lore" in the VHL?

 

We have three candidates. Florent Vericel, Lorenzo Cobberson, and Bartholomew Lorequavius.

 

Florent Vericel loses this battle almost automatically, since not only does Florent have the lowest TPE total of the three, but more importantly, does not have a capital "L" in his lore.

 

This leaves us with two candidates, Lorenzo and Lorequavius.

 

Lorenzo. Which feelings does that name bring out in you? It's familiar and smooth, classic and refined. It's surrounded by elegance and historical ties such as the Magnificent, Lorenzo de' Medici.

 

Lorequavius, on the other hand, is unique, creative, and unforgettable. Much like a Key & Peele sketch, it could become so grand that a cult following is created behind it.

 

So what is the verdict? How can you gauge the sheer "lore" of these characters? If you evaluate it through a modern scope, Lorenzo might take the crown with his classic and versatile approach. But should you be looking for something epic, with a unique presence, Lorequavius would be the clear winner.

 

In the end, there's only one way to know... and Lorenzo has two Renaissance Cups with the Cologne Express of the VHLE, so that's our winner.

 

CHOO CHOO & Goodbye VHLE!

In b4 next season’s theme week we go meta and make the theme simply “theme”.

 

Coming up with these is a pain, especially when we forget to add it to the calendar and have to scramble at the last minute.

Time to start letting the community decide on themes

Maybe do the theme sort of like Trivia. Have the users submit ideas, you guys pick the best one and that user gets 1TPE if chosen.
