Task 1: IT IS OUR TIME THIS (NEXT) YEAR
It has definitely been a fun season for not only Dan Schneider but the Baltimore Hawks in general. As he lead the entire league in sacks throughout the season, the Hawks made one of their many trips to the NSFL playoffs and even made it to the Ultimus match in season 12. They ultimately ended up losing the trophy to the Orange County Ottersto what was basically a blowout, but if you were to replay it however many times then it could've gone any way. Going into next year, the Hawks should easily be the favorites for the NSFC and are large contenders for the Ultimus. Stealing Achilles Hondo away from the Philadelphia Liberty, who had placed second in the conference under them, the Hawks felt confident enough in their chances to dive into a pool of draft picks by renting out Verso L'Alto and Blackford Oates for a season to the Yeti. With the Yeti improving and Liberty presumably declining, it's rational to think that the standings will be similar in S13, just with swapped teams. Still, I have no idea what I'm talking about half the time in this league so anything in the whole world can happen and for all we know the Hawks could finish in dead-last next season. They won't though because Liberty will always finish worst.
Task 2: PRE-GAME or...POST-GAME
Going into the NSFC semifinals, tensions were rising between the Philadelphia Liberty and the Baltimore Hawks more than ever in the season. They had always been at each other's throats and it was far from shocking to see all the trash talk both before the game, during the game, and after the game. YoungTB was still being all salty about losing his 10 million dollars which was pretty funny considering they had been whining about stupid sim luck for a good number of the Hawks victories during the season. The game of tension and anticipation easily ended up being all that the fans paid for, with the scores shifting in favor of the Liberty then the Hawks, back to the Liberty then back to the Hawks. The first quarter had both teams scoring seven points, and an immediate precedent was set for the game to be close through the whole thing. Liberty blanked in the second quarter for the Hawks to score 10, only for Liberty to score 10 in the third quarter with the Hawks blanking. With both teams once again scoring seven each in the fourth quarter, the game ended up going into overtime in which the Hawks won and sent Liberty home on their bums.
Task 3: Going to Disneyland!
There should practically be a unanimous decision on who the MVP for the Ultimus match between the Baltimore Hawks and the Orange County Otters, and it isn't particularly close. I'm probably an index-hugger when I say this but the index does speak in pretty objective ways so it crowning Gus Showbiz was absolutely the correct decision by the engine. The ugliest stat for Showbiz in the game which isn't even that bad in my opinion is the 31/54 completions/passes rate. That's only about a 57% success rate on his passes to his teammates, but the other stats outshine and outweigh it by a ton. In the match, Showbiz had himself five touchdowns against the Hawks. The most impressive part about it was the fact that the Hawks had one of the more elite defenses between the league during the season. The most impressive part about it was probably the fact that those five touchdowns actually broke a league record for passing touchdowns in a playoff match. Just to add a bit more weight to the argument, Showbiz always had 459 passing yards which definitely held a correlation to all of the passing touchdowns he had in the game. It is indisputable that he was the most valuable player of the game.
