This reality is just one of infinite realities existing alongside this one in parallel. Take us over to one of those realities in which everything is the same but these S52 playoffs have unfolded differently. What happened in that reality's playoffs and who's in the Challenge Cup over there?

Oh this is a fun one. In another reality you can find one in which the Edmonton Blizzard have made the finals and they find themselves against Hamilton Steelhawks. Yes, it is a repeat of this seasons final. In this reality we can see the Simulation Hockey League truly being just as whiny and pissed off as they usually are. Mainly cause it means I got to a final but more so that Hamilton found a way to make another final which considering they are the least popular team you can imagine the butthurt.

I think this would be a fun reality honestly with a lot of salt and honestly the best part of the league is when people are losing their collective shit. It would probably be another good final too but watching the Rage dicked San Fran is also a good reality to me. In that reality Edmonton end up winning that title though, obviously Wink

By now, you're probably familiar with the attributes on FHM, and you likely have some sense of what type of build you're going to be aiming for with your player. What one attribute are you going to focus on most? Of all the attributes in the game, what is your player going to strive to be the absolute best at? Why are you picking that specific attribute above all others?

Bold of you to assume I know what I am doing at all, good sir. I have not even looked at next season just yet. I will do what I have always done, ask my General Manager what they would like Jon Forty-One to look like and how they want to build him cause I just want him to be useful to the team. It does not exactly matter to me what fancy stats he has as long as he can help Edmonton or whoever out. I know that he won't have goaltender specific stats if that helps you out and will probably be a forward of some kind. Baby steps I guess.

Which player from the Rage or the Pride would you bet on to win a regular season individual award in a future season? What player and what award? What makes you think they'll live up to their potential and take home the hardware?

Well, I do not really know the vast majority of these teams, especially the Pride. So I will go with the safest option of the bunch and Luke Thomason. He has one of the highest TPEs out of everyone in the league I think, or at least on these teams. I think he would be one of the more sensible bets to claim one. I do not really know if he actually will grab one but you never know. The issue is he might be regressing soon or now meaning better options may exist but with my limited knowledge and knowing he has high TPE I will take the gamble.

Written, up to 5 TPE Pick up to 5 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words to qualify.

Head GMs JayWhy and Grapehead have been GMing for a while, whereas Co GMs Luketd and DaftRaincloud are newer to management - which team's front office staff (including coaches) do you think will provide a strategic edge (lol as if such a thing exists in STHS) in this series?

Manhattan has been rocking a pretty evenly-distributed ice time for forwards (35-33-32) whereas San Francisco is going a bit more top-heavy (40-40-15). Which approach do you think is better for a fierce Challenge Cup series?

The Rage and the Pride have, in my opinion at least, two of the best logos in the entire SHL. Which team's logo do you like more and why?

What is your favorite player name on either of these two teams and why? (not favorite player/user, just focusing on their player name)

Would you rather: (a) a chainsaw lesson with JayWhy, (b) a private Gritty meet-and-greet for you and Luke, (c) an all-you-can-eat grape buffet experience with Grapehead, or (d) an hour session where DaftRaincloud shows you everything from his internet history?

1. I know for a fact it is the Rage. Luke might be "newer to management" but the Whalers under his management were really god damn good. One of the best General Managers I have ever had in sim leagues and give 2 shits about his team. Gives him an edge over the vast majority of GMs here and is probably why they

2. Manhattan's tactic for sure. You just need one of those players to not show up and you will be in a bit of trouble whilst you have more people who can have a great game with the Rage. It is clearly working for San Fran but I think the Rage have less reliance on specific things happening which is better.

3. Yeah, I would agree with that. God forbid I mention them but I genuinely like the Chiefs' logo. Suits the team and colour scheme really well. Dragons, Scarecrows (rip), Whalers and Blizzard should get an honourable mention for having a good logo too. The worst logos are krack head, Texas and Chicago logos. Absolute garbage.

4. Oh this 1 is easy. He is my go to answer for random 'Who will score the most' answers cause he is 1 of the higher TPE players too. Luke Thomason. He is a great player, a really nice guy and genuinely deserves to make this final. Out of everyone in these teams I am for sure putting him #1 in my favourite player list by a country mile.

5. The latter 2 sound just really appealing. Man, it hurts to miss such a golden opportunity but I will have to pass and go for the Luke meet and greet. The chainsaw option sounds badass but getting a pint with mah boi down at the pub would be the best option for sure. I assume we could pick a custom location like a pub but if not that is fine too.
