Alright, so I only just completed my 2nd full season in ISFL (1 season in DSFL and 1 in ISFL) and I have to say it's been a pretty cool experience so far. I came here from PBE after joining that in March of this year and then finally made the move over here to try and max earn in both leagues. Probably the biggest difference between the two sims is people just seem genuinely more active in the ISFL in terms of media and posting in Discord - and all of that is pretty cool.
I'm definitely thankful and appreciative that people took my Goat Tank concept I had for my player and kind of ran with it. The number of times I got DMs in Discord from people telling me they like what I am doing on Goat Tank's twitter account was great and made me feel like I was an accepted member of the community. Even in PBE I just felt like another clog in the wheel until recently when I took over as GM of a team, but maybe it's just because my name was bland? Maybe that's the secret of being noticed in sim leagues, just having a funny name? The other thing that I think has really helped me enjoy the league is the GMs I've had. Thor was pretty awesome in Myrtle Beach and the fact that he didn't even get nominated this year for GM of the year is absolutely atrocious and the DSFL voting committee should be ashamed of themselves.
On the ISFL side, being able to get drafted by the Orange County Otters (and finding out they desperately tried trading up for me) has been pretty awesome. Laser and Jeffie have been a couple of really great GMs and it's pretty awesome to see that they continue on with the dominance of the Otters in the league and I am more than happy to be playing for an organization like this.
Probably the biggest thing for me though is the fact that there are so many people who crossover and play in both PBE and ISFL that I have gotten to know some of the PBE folks better as well. This has been a lot of fun to talk about both leagues to people and discuss the insane and stupid drama that happens between the two. I think most of all for me, is this league and PBE have both been a god send for me during this pandemic and feeling like I'm part of a pretty fun community has really helped me cope with having to basically be inside the house for the last 9 months now.
