Aloe, on being drafted: "Huh, okay."

[Renomitsu 930]

Warsaw, Poland – “Huh, okay. This might not be so bad.”

 

The first several words uttered from a curious Aloe Dear weren’t quite what you would expect from someone who had just been selected first overall in the VHL Entry Draft. Indeed, with recent pressers revealing that Aloe had no interest in playing for a team that scouted her, and that she’d be testing free agency after her rookie contract no matter what, she expected her draft stock to plummet.

 

“No, Warsaw definitely reached out to me,” she said with a knowing smile in a post-draft presser, “it would seem as though my expectations did not go unseen. That’s always a good first step.”

 

At the end of the day, Aloe was more interested in seeing where various friends of hers – including a prominently-featured Venus Thightrap @BladeMaiden , who placed an easy second in overall points, tying San Diego’s Pietro Angellini with a neat 125 underneath league leader and teammate Riley Knight Gee. Indeed, the top round of the draft was dominated by her former teammates – including the likes of Mingle, Schauer, The 3^rd, and Campbell – to say nothing of her former Aces teammates like Nousiainen, Dimmadome, and Sandstrom. But with relatively few of them landing in the same place, Aloe finds herself with brand-new teammates (but familiar users) like Tim Waters, Lexi Glass, and Chris Reynolds; we’ll have to see how these new guys and gals pan out with her.
