I'm a recent addition to the site (Jan 2020), came in with the S52 Reddit recruitment, so for now my favorite memory is going through the first draft. Not really knowing how things worked, I wasn't sure I was going to get drafted at all. Honestly, I was kinda looking at Carolina's final pick (82nd OV), which would have been a cool media opportunity with me (and my player) being from Charlotte. I was following the draft on my phone (which is a pain in the ass to refresh the forum posts that way) and when I refreshed it I saw someone tagged me in a Welcome! post, and had to scroll back up a couple posts and saw I had been selected 35th overall by St. Louis. I already had a welcome message from @Nictox, and joined the locker room on Discord. The group in St. Louis has been something else. Really tight knit crew, our trip to the finals last season and now our playoff run this season. If we manage to go all the way and win a Four Star cup I will definitely come back and edit this to add a new "favorite memory". Shout out to @"jfisherr" @"Capt_Blitzkrieg" @acdangel and @CptSquall who are doing a great job in their leadership roles this season.
I'd also like to shoutout the whole S53 crew. The S53 LR is still very active and we're working to keep it that way. Leading up to the SHL draft I was 19th in TPE rank and being mocked everywhere from 11th to 20th. When the start of the second round started and the 19th and 20th picks passed, everyone in S53 was like "How the hell is Eric still on the board?" "Draft Eric you cowards!!!" "WTF Eric gonna be a steal". Shoutout to @sve7en, @Nhamlet, @"NeonLime", @Zomp and the rest of the S53 crew.. too many to name.
Lastly, thanks to @dankoa and @Jearim for taking a chance on me.
