"Now [Myrtle Beach] is the team which I had the second most interaction with, because I was on their team, like I previously said. It was only a brief stint, but I was in their locker room, I was talking to the guys, and I gotta say their Discord is crazy active. You will always have something to talk about, and you will always have someone to talk to."- Phat Boi (Dose of Phat Podcast) @BadLck
Now this sounds like a pretty nice picture. What kind of new player wouldn't want a nice, active locker room with plenty of people to talk to? We're off to a good start.
"Personally though, when I was there, I hate to say it but I was not a fan of their locker room. I felt like I got lost in the crowd, like they weren't really paying much attention to me. Some of my questions or comments went unanswered... and while I did have fun because we were winning, I am worried that if I go there again, the vibe might change. We might start losing, and who knows maybe I might stop having fun. I feel like you gotta focus on all of your players. Include everyone. I really didn't feel like I was part of their family. It seemed like they had their favorites that they would talk to more, and personally I didn't think I was one of those..."
Wow, this actually hurts. It pains me to have to listen to this sort of thing being said about my team in a podcast accessible to the entire league. What will rookies think now? That MB people will just talk over them, not pay attention to them and show them love and support? Yeah, that's probably what they'll think.
Luckily, I'm here to refute that.
Rookies and everyone else in this league should listen as I clearly say that without my Myrtle Beach family, my interest in this league would not have been as renewed as it is. I haven't been this invested in the league since I joined in 2017 for the inaugural season. I have met people in the MB LR that I love talking to and interacting with and who I can actually call my friends.
Of course, I understand that not everyone gels in a locker room the way others do. It depends on the person and the situation. If BadLck didn't enjoy the LR the way that most of us do, that's fine, he's allowed to feel that way. That isn't my issue.
My issue is the fact that the claims he made in his podcast were false. My GM and one of my favorite people in this entire league @Frostbite was dedicated enough to look through pages upon pages on discourse in our LR to find any example of an instance where BadLck was ignored. He couldn't find one because it didn't happen. We are the most helpful bunch in the league, and I would need more than two hands to count the amount of members in our LR who would actively go out of their way to help new people. I am certainly one of them, reaching out to over 70 rookies to help them get started, to the point where some of them even put me down as their RECRUITER. It doesn't end with me, though, and I'll be tagging all the wonderful personalities and people that are in our LR at the end of this article.
BadLck, if you truly feel like you were ignored, then I don't know what to tell you. Not every statement anyone makes warrants a conversation, but I sure know we did a lot for you. We helped you get started, pointed you in the right direction with your player build, plugged your awesome sigs in our art section... not sure what else we we're supposed to do...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enough about BadLck, I'm on to the second part of this article. This part will be more concise but will perhaps hold more importance.
I'll say it loud for the people in the back:
I am absolutely TIRED of the league-wide Myrtle Beach slander. (*which comes from the top by the way*)
What we ever did to any of you is beyond me... except for fielding an active, competitive team. The petty shots at our team are growing old, and its making many of us lose interest in the league. We are a very tightly-knit group of people, but we are an extremely, almost superlative, welcoming bunch of people. We love to welcome new people to the league and our LR, even if they're not on our team. The more the merrier. Many of us go out of our way to help others, so it is easy to see why the slander is absurd and frankly, quite grating at this point. Find something else to be mad about, or find a hobby.
Stop hating on MB, we are a beautiful community who share the common goal of building awesome players and promoting what is best for the league we love.
So I am going to quiet down for a minute and let my teammates do the talking. I'm passing the mic over to y'all. Drop a comment of something you love about Myrtle Beach, and why rookies should want to come there, instead of falsely assuming were a bunch of elitists who don't care about new people, as one person, and apparently others in this league would have it.
Sickening.
Myrtle Beach best beach, and I'll rep it until I leave this league.
RD out.
