12. Written, up to 4 TPE - Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. Which of these teams has stronger offensive firepower?

b. This is Texas’s first cup appearance since winning it in S36, while Buffalo is recovering from 2 recent final losses to Hamilton. Which team will have a bigger chip on their shoulder entering the finals.

c. Which of these two teams' brandings do you prefer? Take into account colors, logo, name, location, and anything else you consider relevant.

d. Would you rather have to spend a long weekend hanging out in Dallas or Buffalo? What would you do?

b) This prompt is phrased interestingly, as I think it's obvious that the team with a bigger chip on their shoulder is Buffalo. Everyone involved with Texas will undoubtedly feel a strong sense that this is their moment given the long build-up to it, but the team desperate to prove people wrong will be Buffalo. Losing three (or more) finals in a row could make Buffalo, or at least their finals performance, a bit of a meme and everyone within the organisation will be desperate to avoid people laughing or making jokes. (92 words)

c) Of the two brandings, I prefer the Buffalo Stampede's. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Texas' branding. The logo and colours are very polished and clean, and the cowboy imagery fits the state of Texas well. But the Stampede are much more unique. I don't know of any other teams (sim league or otherwise) nicknamed the Stampede, and the green and yellow is a bold choice for the team's colours. It's another well-done logo, and when comparing two strong brandings, I'm going to go for the one that's just a little different. (91 words)

16. hotdog's secret bonus weird prompt. Written, 2 TPE (100 words min.)

If worst came to worst and the situation were dire....... you need nutrition....... you must consume your peers. If you had to eat another SHL player, who would you eat and why? (sorry in advance Julio)

As a general disclaimer, there is no SHL player I want to eat. But if I found myself in a Donner Party-like situation, the obvious choice is Gabriel Johnson. The reason for this is that there is a discord emote called :diabeetusgabe:, because Gabriel Johnson has diabetes, As a sufferer of this unfortunate disease, it is likely that Gabriel weighs more than the average SHL player. Eating Gabriel would sustain me for much longer compared with other SHL players, reducing the likelihood that I would become desperate enough to have to eat a second SHL player. Further, Gabriel's condition means that it is likely that if we were stranded, he would experience medical difficulties and be less likely to survive and thrive. Clearly, eating Gabriel Johnson is the least-worst option. (131 words)
