Waste of Life - Heavy//Hitter

[Spartan 4,615]

 

I got to see Heavy//Hitter live this past weekend which was awesome, but this relates to the VHL because it's also what @Grape's been spending the last 24 hours calling Malmo.

 

Pretty surprising that three series' went to 7 games, I fully expected Moscow and Davos to go the distance despite us rolling them in the regular season. I admittedly never looked around the EU in prior seasons and really considered teams as threats and chalked off playoff losses to myself just not doing a good enough job, but @Alex has consistently built solid threats over in Davos so I'll give him a nod for that.

 

Maybe I'm just a cynic, but saw the Malmo loss coming from a mile away. Insanely talented and well-performing Victory Cup winning team gets a first round exit? That's pretty much the story for most Victory Cup winners these days. There really is something in the water for Wild Card winners and I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a Riga/Seattle cup finals match up either. I'm not going to sit here and debate if Malmo's moves were good or bad, but their players enjoyed their season and wanted to stick together. Unless a full team is on board with a new GM coming in and dismantling a playoff roster, there's not much you can even do in that position. Make the best of it and commit to developing young players over time and avoid impulse moves without having a read on the market and league.

 

Other than that, I'm hopeful that Moscow is still in playoffs by the time I get back home this Friday. It'd be nice to be at my own home office and be back to sleeping in my own bed after three weeks away. Right in time for the new Apex season, woohoo. Good luck Riga.
