As far as i know, there's no actual coverage of ECL Core by the staff. But this is pretty damn close to it. Excellent work between the posts and with the keyboard, Oleg! 😎

Important introduction: Do you know this guy? No? Then you have yet to get to know him! He's a genius! Yes, yes, a genius! What he did in those two games was insane. Something on the verge of sci-fi and some Lovecraftian surrealism. He seemed to be the lord of the puck and at his command that black disc would fly wherever he indicated. Fabian, you were insanely and again insanely brilliant! You're crazy in a good way! Game 17. versus Iserlohn Roosters eSports (Visitors): Overtime win 3-2 - Do you hear a jet roar? - Yes. That's Elon Musk sending a rocket into space! - No, it's not! It's Khamzat Borz scoring another onetimer-goal! The first ever retirement match for Iserlohn Roosters eSports goalie STRAHLMEIER-34- (Fabian Diercks). What this guy did in the goal defies any reasonable explanation other than MAGIC! He batted and even caught what looked like it should have been a goal. I am in no way downplaying the Roosters' team-wide success, but if it wasn't for their goalie, the score would have been different. The only player who had any insight into his magic was team captain Neptune Hockey JAKKEJYNKKY (Khamzat Borz). But I've gotten used to this man scoring against the best goalies with his incredible power and accuracy. I don't know if it's even legal to have that kind of power and accuracy in a shot? Check his stick bend or the sharpness of his skates, or check him for doping - he's probably using meldonium of some kind. It's the only explanation I have. His hat trick in the game brings a much-needed win for the team. If the other players don't do well, His Majesty the Captain comes in. ZAMIBOII (Chuchillo Mariposa Matt) finds his captain on the field three times and participates in every puck scored by the team. Remember what I wrote about his scoring sense? Here's adding to that and seeing all the ice, for giving an amazingly accurate pass. WIIBENI (Keimolan Kaprizovi) returned to the team and he certainly raised the team morale. He may have only provided the assists, but they were very useful. Otherwise Neptune Hockey would have been unable to tie the game and advance to overtime. And welcome to this season's newcomer VJOBO- (Suurpellon Shipachyovi). Like Keimolan Kaprizovi only one pass, but it was in extra time. And it brought the victory! And it was the first pass! Great job! Game 18. versus Iserlohn Roosters eSports (Home): Win 4-0 The captain continued to send his jet pucks flying! And even handing out accurate passes to his teammates on the stick. If that wasn't the peak of his ability, what would happen when he started playing at his limit? The second game only in the beginning was as hard as the first, but towards the end of the first period MISETINTIN (Iin Taikuri) managed in a close duel to beat an inexpressible goalkeeper of the guests STRAHLMEIER-34- (Fabian Diercks) and marked further game advantage of his team. He would go on to score again and make a huge contribution to the team's overall success. Many attempts of the opposing team to lead their attacks to the goal were defeated by WIIBENI (Keimolan Kaprizovi) and VJOBO- (Suurpellon Shipachyovi) defenders. VJOBO- (Suurpellon Shipachyovi) scored 3 points in his second match, both scoring himself and assisting the other players twice in a similar success. I, however, thanks in large part to my team play, was able to keep my goal without a missed puck and add another shutout to my record. Result: 18 games 14 wins 2 loss 2 overtime loss and 45 goals conceded

I bet that NOT everybody saw the NEW columns appeared lately in the stats. You have to scroll to your right a bit and that is not what everybody do, so i decided to write about it. Of course there are some geeks and nerds around who likes this stuff, but it is also can be an interesting thing for anyone to look into. To tell you the truth i didn't get what all this meant from the get go (PC, PD, PKC etc.) but then i realised how to get this knowledge. OMG it was so simple) So for those of you who are sometimes as dump as me i would like to share this knowledge to resolve your struggle. Btw, we can also have a little fun memo on what to expect from guys with a high stat on either of those. Also it could be fun to look into all this after the end of the season too and maybe find some unsung heroes. But lets move on: DEF - Deflections ( Shows who is the force in the last minutes of the game when desperate push is ON and shots from the blue line are flying. Most likely he have a TIP perk) INT - Interception ( Look where he plays and then go to attack the other flank. Cause guy can read plays well and predict the passing lanes very good) PD - Penalty's drawn ( Some dangler who can drag you around the rink until he gets a stick in his skates or slash on his arms, or maybe he just knows how to dive) PC - Passes completed ( Stat to see that you are good unselfish player) PA - Passes attempted ( Stat that should be closer to the previous one or you are a bad passer) P% - Passing percentage ( Stat to admire your passing abilities if two stats above are high and quite the same) SP - Saucer passes ( Next level passing for skilled guys probably with SEND IT perk) SA - Shot attempts ( One more stat to know that you are selfish enough or vice versa) TwP - Time with puck ( If these digits are highest in your team then you are probably a go to guy that runs the play. Also a good target for a proper shutdown from the opposition) PKC - PK zone clears ( Stat to know that you're not bold enough to drag the puck out of your zone on a skill so you just dump it out in panic) Also some new stats for Goalies with that Shutout Periods. BA - Breakaways (saves\shots) ( A little counter for how many times you got embarrassed on a breakaway) D Svs - Desperation saves ( Counter for flashy saves but most probably you just lost your position and then jumped, occasionally saving a shot in the process) PKC - PK zone clears ( Still up for grabs. None had done it so maybe you can be the first Goalie to clear a puck out of your zone on PK) Pokes - Poke checks ( Scariest thing ever but works sometimes) SOP - Shutout periods ( You have no SO, but have a lot of SOP - probably it means that you are quite good for 2 periods and vanish in the third) Just looking at those stats now, half season in, we can see who is vital for they team, who can create magic, who can draw some penalties or shoot like a god. Very useful info if you ask me. I hope this one was useful for you guys too, so gl and most importantly have fun out there.

Thank you, Olli, for your kind words! If it weren't for you and Hullued, none of this would have happened!

I love to read these! Something new and different in the community. Love the great sportsmanship, that you always give credit to your opponents as well! Keep it up ❤️
