Season 2 notes; Herlev Eagles crowned champions.

[Claudi27]

NHLGamers,

Despite the uncertainity we had about playing a tournament mostly during August, the response from all the signed up teams has been perfect. No team had to be disqualified and we were so close to 100% games played, so personally I'd like to use this thread to say thanks to all the teams who gave it all on the ice, and to congratulate the unbeaten Herlev Eagles for their maiden WECL title.

In the rules thread you can find the Division 1 ranking updated with the Points/Game stat for every team that's taken part in our league so far, with the 'tickets' awarded after Inaugural Season and this ranking, we're crossing fingers that we can compose a more competitive league with top and bottom divisions for next season.

Our goal is to take a deep look at how each season goes and continue evolving leaving no team behind or their opinions unheard, so as always I encourage you to share your thoughts specially about what can be improved in the future, either publicly or privately.

Reading into the Season 2 results, it's clear Herlev Eagles were a tier above everyone else. The rules we designed for teams to be able to complete their rosters for the summer months with foreign talent have also allowed, to such extent, this super team to dominate both their group and the playoffs, so clearly our rulebook still needs work.

From early discussions among the staff, going back to 2 foreign players per team and no (foreign) ECL Elite players is what's currently on the table, with the possibility that all games are played on the central server, unless both teams agree to play on the north one.

We're aiming for the next tournament to happen on PS5 next february/march after ECL 13. Until then, we would like to wish everyone good luck in their ECL seasons. We'll be cheering for you.

See you next spring

Claudi - WECL
