Offseason Point Task - 25th Anniversary Special

[Jangorhino]

What the league means to me?
Where do I begin?
Well considering I signed up for S22 back in January or whatever back before the shit really hit the fan with Covid.  Its basically been a god send in a bunch of ways.  Because of Covid there were no sports for a while and the league got me through that period. Honestly, for that reason alone I’m grateful.

Aside from the league filling the sports void for a while, ive made some great friends over the last nine months. There are some users I feel close with and def would consider friends IRL.

During the beginning of the lockdowns and shit we really got things going in the Minn LR and a lot of those connections are still there. We’re all on different teams and shit now but we’re all still connected. The S22 ducks are a tight knit group. We went through a lot together and came out better for it. Every one of those users has a place in my heart.

On top of the friendships and the fun of the league and building a player and watching the sim and working for league now, there’s two other things that effected my IRL to mention.

For real, when I started in the league I didn’t know shit about computers or discord or being on the internet besides looking at porn. Starting out in the league was fucking rough. You may or may not know but I’m probably the oldest user in the league, or in the top 3 at least. Being around all the users on discord and the forum was hard for me because I didn’t know how to deal with people on the internet. Tbh im pretty much antisocial and obstinate IRL. So when starting out in the league that’s how I was and I was always having run ins with other users. That shit sucked. After a while I noticed it got a lot easier to deal with people.

Now none of the dumb shit bothers me anymore and this new attitude is helping me irl.

The other thing that has affected my life is doing graphics. When starting with the league I couldn’t even spell photoshop. Now that shit is a passion and maybe even one day doing stuff for people IRL has crossed my mind.

Sharing everything in the league with everyone has been so rad. Everyone has been great and all of it means more to me than you think. Now I honestly can’t imagine going a week without doing an AC and weekly training and then predictions and maybe a PT.

Thanks everyone! This shit has been dope.
