The VHL has a Beketov Problem

[Dil 1,760]

 

I don’t even know where to start with Beketov. This guy has got to be the most insufferable personality on the entire Victory Hockey League forums. He logs in every single day, acting like he’s some gift to the league, as if he’s been handpicked by the hockey gods to grace us with his genius. But let me tell you something, nobody is as obsessed with Beketov as Beketov himself. It’s almost like he thinks the league would fall apart if he didn’t log in daily to give us an update on his latest “legendary” player. And the worst part? He genuinely believes that every time he types something, it’s groundbreaking. His ego could power the entire VHL for a season—and we’re all just supposed to fall in line and thank him for his “service” to the league.

 

Every time he hops on the forums, it’s like he’s rolling out the red carpet for himself. I swear, he must think we’re all sitting here, eagerly refreshing the page, waiting for his pearls of wisdom to drop. Newsflash, Beketov: we’re not. Most of us are here because we actually care about the league, about playing the game, and about supporting each other—not about inflating your ego with every post. But that’s the thing about Beketov; he can’t even see past his own reflection. This guy could be drowning in his own self-importance, and he’d still look around for applause.

 

It’s not just that he’s old school; it’s that he’s convinced his time in the league makes him untouchable. He has this almost pathological need to remind us how long he’s been here, like that automatically makes him better than everyone else. It’s like he’s got this delusional fantasy where he’s the wise sage of the VHL, here to guide us all through the path of enlightenment. And while we’re on the topic of his “experience,” let’s be real—if we had to take a drink every time he brought it up, we’d all be unconscious by noon. We get it, Beketov: you’ve been around. Congratulations. But that doesn’t make you some immortal VHL god we’re all required to worship. Half of us have been grinding here too, but you don’t see us turning every update into a self-congratulatory pat on the back.

 

And then there’s his latest player—oh, my God, this guy acts like he’s reinventing the entire sport with every new character he creates. It’s not enough for him to just roll out a new player and keep it moving. No, he has to make a spectacle of it. He’ll go on these long rants about how this player is going to “shake things up” and “bring something fresh to the league,” as if he’s delivering us a gift from on high. It’s like he’s living in his own movie where he’s both the hero and the director, setting the stage for his triumphant arrival while the rest of us are just extras. Every time he starts hyping up his new character, it’s the same tired story. But he acts like we’re all waiting with bated breath, like this is some historic event that will change the league forever. Spoiler alert, Beketov: it won’t. It’s just another player in a league full of players, and the only person making a big deal about it is you.

 

I swear, this guy thinks he’s untouchable. And it’s not just in the way he talks about himself—it’s in the way he talks down to everyone else. He has this patronizing tone, like we’re all children here to learn from his vast wealth of “knowledge.” Newsflash, we didn’t ask for your guidance, Beketov. He’s constantly dropping unsolicited “advice” like he’s some benevolent overseer, but we all know it’s just another way for him to feel superior. This guy’s ego is so massive, it could probably form its own gravitational field. And the worst part is, he’s so busy basking in his own glory that he doesn’t even realize how tired the rest of us are of hearing it.

 

It’s almost tragic watching him parade his own greatness, oblivious to the fact that most people are rolling their eyes at every word. Every time he logs on, it’s like he’s performing for an imaginary audience of adoring fans. He’ll type out these epic monologues about the “journey” he’s on with his new player, as if we’re all supposed to care about his little self-aggrandizing stories. But here’s the thing—nobody’s here for the Beketov Show. We’re here to play the game, to improve our own skills, and to build a community that’s not centered around one person’s ego. But to him, we’re just the supporting cast, the “loyal fans” here to applaud his every move.

 

And if you try to call him out on it? Forget it. The guy’s got this impenetrable wall of arrogance. He’ll just double down, probably start lecturing about “respect for veterans” or “understanding the spirit of the league.” It’s like he’s so wrapped up in his own hype that he’s completely lost touch with reality. Half the league has probably tuned him out by now, but he still barrels on, convinced he’s the star of the show.

 

So here’s a suggestion, Beketov: take a step back, let someone else share the spotlight, and realize that the VHL doesn’t revolve around you. We’re here to play, to compete, and to support each other, not to inflate your ego with every single post. And until you figure that out, most of us are just going to keep scrolling past, waiting for the day when the forums are no longer dominated by your relentless self-promotion.

Just go to my status update he put it there too. Feels like a pasta but you’d think I would have seen it by now and I don’t recall it.

My guess says copy pasta from the SHL or something that he just plugged my name into since a bunch of stuff doesn’t match up but . I’m not too fussed, I’ve seen worse.

[Triller 1,659]

This is the most effort Dil has put into the league since I've been here but it seems a bit targeted?  I'd like to know who this is about.

[stevo 792]

Could be some copy pasta originally aimed at McZ... those who know, they know.

He told a user to fuck off because they asked him about a SIM. Even if Beketov is friends with Dill, no commissioner should be telling a user to fuck off in public, especially when they ask about something like the SIM. It's not a good look (unprofessional), and if you didn't know Beketov, you might not want to message him about something in the future. Before you go and tell me it's not a big deal, Commissioners should be held to a higher standard, as they represent this league.

This would be a great article for theme week centered around Bek.

It seems like this thread is getting a bit derailed with the memes and side commentary. While I know we all enjoy a good laugh, this isn’t the Thunderdome, and it’d be great if we could keep the focus here on having a productive, respectful conversation. This forum is meant for genuine discussions, and when threads start turning into a joke or a personal soapbox, it often discourages others from joining in or sharing their own thoughts.

 

Let’s keep in mind that the (VHL) community thrives on mutual respect and a shared love for the game. For those who want to have a bit of fun or make jokes, there are plenty of spaces in the forums for that! But for now, let’s try to keep this thread focused on discussing the real issues being raised.

 

Thanks for your understanding, and I appreciate everyone’s contributions to a respectful dialogue!

I wish I could be a good sport and laugh at this, but it haunts me instead. It's been so many years of seeing it again and again, it just makes me feel sad whenever someone posts it because when I wrote what I wrote I did it with the right intentions. For that to be used as laughing material over and over again to me it just feels like I'm being bullied (even though in a way I know it's not, it's just how it feels). Pleasure for all of you, pain for me.

Just so it’s clear I think Garsh is a really nice person. I’m just dealing with some brutal depression in life and I find stuff like this really hard on my mental health. Last night I ended up having a few drinks for the first time in years to try and numb the pain, and I just need to surround myself with positivity. Do things I love. This sort of stuff bums me out and makes me feel worse. I was already hanging on by a string. Best to move on. Take care everyone!
