ECL '22 Spring Elite - Weekly Report You know how sometimes you do a thing without even realizing why you are doing it? And it doesn't become clear to you until you look back on that very thing later, now able to put together the context and rationale behind your actions? That was me, reading back this thread. At the time of writing, I thought I was just providing a bit of entertaining content for the community while keeping those genuinely interested in the team (potentially the most narrow target audience of all time... 👀) in the loop on what was happening. But now I realize that what I was really doing was creating a time capsule, of sorts. A written record of the trials and tribulations of a hobby project that seemed doomed to fail, yet soared above and beyond expectations. Until it eventually did fail 😂 But let's not focus on that. I always look back fondly on FCM's playoff run in ECL 5 Pro or the hardships and challenges of ECL 6 Elite, but it wasn't until I read back the posts (<- linked) that I was truly transported back into those moments - immediately able to recall multiple individual plays on the ice and the raw emotion each and every one of them brought. That's when it all clicked and a cartoonish light bulb appeared above my head; "it's a time capsule" 💡 So, here I am. Again. Chronicling a weekly FCM report, again. Hopefully not on a journey towards another crushing defeat - only to then look back at these words fondly in four years time. But if that is the case (again), so be it. As Michael Scott from The Office would say; *** ⛏️ Week 1 (4-2-0 vs. hREDS, Conquer, IQUE): When the schedule dropped for ECL '22 Spring Elite, we weren't exactly doing the Macarena on the rooftops of Falun. Mostly because none of the players, past or present, actually live in Falun anymore. But if we had been living in Falun, we wouldn't have been doing the Macarena on its rooftops in any way, shape or form. The reason? Our first week featured matchups against back-to-back ECL Champions hREDS, a Conquer squad hungry for revenge after how last season ended and an IQUE squad that finished 4th overall in the standings last regular season and managed to retain their full roster going into this one. Every week is a flat-out battle in Elite, but still... Yikes. With literally everybody and their uncle (barring a few notable exceptions) predicting a spectacular failure for this #FCMRevival, the stage was set for an immediate losing streak. And the season started off in precisely that way when we dropped a pair of decisions (0-3, 0-1) against hREDS while failing to register even a single goal. Still, with the combined old age experience on this roster, we didn't get rattled. Instead, we turned our attention towards our next opponent; Conquer Gaming. Showing up for what we believe was the teams' first ever appearance on a professional SportsGamer broadcast (FCM wasn't exactly the hottest ticket in town to be showcased back in ECL's 1-7; nor did NHLGamer stream as many games back then), we got going in a big way and managed a pair of victories over Conquer (5-2, 2-1 OT). In front of star broadcasting duo CynFtW & Tougie (who couldn't really agree on who to call 'captain' on the team... 👀), @MartindalexC got us going by sniping in our first goal of the season and eventually ended up registering points on six of our first seven goals. @poliskontroll was strong in net, picking up his first wins in Elite since ECL 8, and @SadaPoika & @Foppatofflan both registered their first goals and points with the team. Just a day removed from those games, we were right back in the thick of it against IQUE. This time, the onus was on defense and goaltending. And really, really weird goals. However, the bounces ended up being on our side in this one (despite two own goals!) as we picked up a pair of 2-1 W's and improved our record to 4-2-0. A sharp @LastMandalorian picked up his first ever W's in Elite and @Tanski87 made sure to factor in on the offense, making it so that all the "new Miners" on the roster had each picked up points while wearing the Red, White & Coal - thereby securing their places in the great history book of FCM. *** That's it for Week 1. Will we be back for Week 2? Who knows. We'll see. This took way longer than I expected. And let's be honest, had we started the season off 0-6-0, I doubt I would've written an 800-word essay on it. But hey, let's enjoy the good vibes while they last ⛏️

There's really not that much to starting a club per se, especially if you are only playing casual. Just make a club in NHL 22 and invite some friends and get playing. If you are looking in to going for tournaments you need to make sure that the whole team is committed to playing on certain dates (at least the scheduled games) or having enough backup players. At least 8 players are required and 14 was the cap if I remember correctly. If you are not able to play the scheduled days and you can't find a replacement date for matches (within the given timeframe) you will be forced to forfeit a.k.a give walkovers to the other team, and may be subject to a ban from future tournaments. Creating a team is easy enough, but managing 8-14 people is a bit harder especially if they are not that committed or have busy social/worklife. Also keep in mind that most of the ECL tournaments have teams from northern europe so the home matches of those teams will be played on the north europe servers, which mean that you are going to have a worse connection. The connection is PLAYABLE, but significantly worse. Ofcourse the workaround to this is to play only tournaments that are played mostly on servers closer to you. After all this, if you are still interested in creating and managing your own team, go for it! It can be most rewarding, there's no feeling like it when you win as a team, but it also takes alot! Hope this helps 😁 ps. ECL NEO is good if you are looking to start your own team and playing somewhat competetively.
