FrostBeard 2,061 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Hey there everyone who actually cares to read anything I write. As my path in VHL has been very interesting I wanted to actually tell you about my name - FrostBeard and where it comes from. I have been using this name for over 5 years across many different platforms. Previously (And still in some communities like World of Tanks) I used a name - SelonianViking but that is another story. Actually, being called Frost was a somewhat of an everyday thing when I was a part of Youth Guard (Youth organization for National Guard in Latvia). Our instructor decided that it would be fun to assign Call-signs to us when we used old soviet radios. For me it was simple - as one of my RL names is Sarmis and it translates quite closely to Frost the call sign was there. Not that I really liked it at first as I found it to be better just called Sarmis as it was rare enough (Only about 50 people bear that name) but no, the decision of call-signs was final and we had to go with them. Funny but more people called me Frost, more I started to enjoy that and slipped away from SelonianViking in gaming world. I think the first game I used FrostBeard was in BF4 if I remember correctly. That said, still, a long time a go. When it was time to join VHL there was no real doubt in my mind to come and choose that as my name. That said - why Beard? Well, I had to keep some heritage from Viking part of my old nickname - you know - Viking had beards, I will call myself that. Done. Since then, every single name for a game character, for an account in a game has been related to Frostbeard. Funny how when I restarted playing Star Trek Online I without hesitation called myself John Frostbeard and then stopped to smirk for a minute. It is something I will probably never change. FrostBeard for life. Also, so that people don't flag this as - Oh, it is not league related. Well, I can say this - Malmo Nighthawks had an amazing season and we went up ahead against super strong teams. I would not have thought that Malmo would get swept by Helsinki squad but oh well. For me it is a difficult path now as I have to wonder if there has to be any changes made to the squad or are we ready to go and do our best. In the end, it really doesn't matter what I do, it is always up to STHS gods to give us a good sim. I am quite happy with our individual performances - Wakaro had a great Rookie season and will turn out to be an amazing piece for Malmo future. Adrienne was as dominant as he could have been considering our team was getting better and better. Impressed to see Hylands shining with his teammates. I think I can say that we are looking at future Top Goalscorer in VHL. Well, at least there is no doubt in my mind it is going to be that way. Gyrfalcon had a bit of a struggling end of the season but I believe with more improvements we might see Gyrfalcon shine on the big stage next season!Thanks for reading this and I hope you all will have fun this next upcoming week! Cheers! NotAVHLM-GM, diamond_ace, mattyIceman and 3 others 6 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/94294-why-frostbeard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
