  4. SportsGamers, A few weeks ago we wrapped up the ECL Elite season as we got to enjoy the Finals series between hREDS and Tunnel Vision turn into yet another seven-game spectacle to be decided by only one goal, as @NikkeDangles secured his and hREDS' fourth ECL Elite Championship, solidifying them as the all-time winningest ECL team. This also marks only the second time someone outside of the TOP 3 finishers in the regular season wins the championship, with hREDS going into the Playoffs as the #4 seed (the first time was Laser HT, who finished the regular season with seed #7 and yet managed to win the championship in the ECL 4 season back in 2017).   Image: The ECL '24: Winter - Elite Champions - hREDS. From the left: FinSere, Mozjay, xDoumi, NikkeDangles, Vilupoika, Beniittto, Teemuyy Now that the dust has settled, we took some time and spoke to captain Perttu @Beniittto Kemppainen and goalie Sebastian @FINSeRe Remes about their thoughts about the season.   Interview: Captain Perttu "Beniiittto" Kemppainen Now that it's been a few weeks since your win - how would you reflect on the season? "Before the season I had high expectations for us as always, because I knew that if we were in good form no one could beat us and before this season our only problem was inconsistency. Although we still had those issues during the regular season and some games in the playoffs, we were able to keep our form good and stable enough in the playoffs, and that led us to the championship." Take us through the finals - it looked like the series was going to be over in 5 games, but in the end, we got to enjoy a full seven-game series and a G7 decided by one goal "Our start of the 1st game was bad but towards the end of the 1st game we were able to find our form and even though we lost game 1 we were able to improve our game for games 2,3 and 4. Games 5 and 6 were bad defensively and we made a lot of mistakes that you can't make in the playoffs if you want to win and we picked up our form again for game 7." How have you been preparing for the ECL '24: Spring season? "We took some time off the game to enjoy the championship and relax. After that, we have just been playing FCL regular season and when we get to the playoffs we will start practicing more."   Interview: Sebastian "FINSeRe" Remes   How would you describe the season as a whole? "I think we had a bit slow start to the regular season but started to gain momentum after NikkeDangles came back from the army. We carried that momentum to the playoffs and there we were playing extremely good hockey pretty much every game in every series. Beniittto was playing like MacKinnon and deservedly won the Best Forward of the Season award. I think he really carried us when we were having difficult moments. I also think that Teemuyy got snubbed as for me he was the best defender of the season by looking at gameplay and not points. You always expect a team like this to be up there fighting for the championship, and I think there was never any doubt among us during the season that we couldn't win it all if we just played on our level. Obviously, it's not that simple especially when you had to face both Straikers and Tunnel Vision in the playoffs but I think it just made our championship sweeter that way. And for me, it's just nice to be in the right place at the right time and get the trust of my team."   What about the finals - it was looking like the Series might be over in 5 - but you found yourself in game 7 with a one-goal win. How were the finals from your perspective? "I remember saying in our group chat after the 3rd win that now comes the hardest challenge - winning the 4th time. The 5th game could have gone either way, but Tunnel Vision tying the game in the 2nd period when there was 1s left in the clock was probably something that turned the tides for them. Also, benuh_ was giving them a chance and was making extremely important saves in games 5 and 6. After game 6, heading to the 7th I didn't feel that anyone was nervous or anything, even after dropping 2 games. On the contrary, I got this feeling that we were more focused on our task and I think it really showed in game 7. Game 7 was the best game we had all season in my opinion and honestly, it was the best game defensively I've ever been part of in any team. Yeah, I got shutout but I honestly felt like I didn't have to do anything because our 5 man defending was so unbelievably good."   This was your second ECL championship. Your first championship was in ECL Season 1 in 2016, which was before the divisions were introduced to the ECL. If you remember - how would you describe the experience of winning then vs now? "I remember those days very well. To be honest I don't think that the skill level at the top was any lower back then than it is now. You got fewer players but you still had these same guys on the top. For example in the finals we had to face players like Patzlaf, PleeMaker, Joukkiii, and loimmu. Of course, there were lots of teams that had no chance so it worked pretty much like FCL works nowadays where the real games start in play-offs. Also back then there were more teams that could win it all. I think this was because talent was more dispersed between the teams compared to now. But back then it was also normal to create a new team for every season so there wasn't as much stability as there is now. Personally winning the championship now felt so much sweeter for me than it did then since I had to prove I belong to this level. The older you get, less people believe you still got it and honestly I've worked hard to prove them wrong."     hREDS' road to the championship: #4 seed with the record 18-5-1-6 Quarterfinals: vs Radical (5) 4-1 Semifinals: vs Straikers (1) 4-0 Finals: vs Tunnel Vision (2) 4-3   The winning roster: GOALTENDERS  🇫🇮 #8 Sebastian @FINSeRe Remes   DEFENSEMEN  🇫🇮 #3 Teemu @Teemuyy Polttila   🇫🇮 #27 Aaro @xDoumi Ruuhinen FORWARDS 🇫🇮 #23 Niklas @NikkeDangles Tukiainen  🇫🇮 #67 Aleksi @Mozjayh Kähkönen   🇫🇮 #89 Vili @Vilupoika Häkkinen    🇫🇮 #96 Perttu @Beniittto Kemppainen   RELIVE THE FINALS On behalf of the entire SportsGamer community, we congratulate the ECL '24: Winter - Elite Champions and extend a warm thank you to all participants!
  5. SportsGamers, Having entered the ECL '24: Winter season through the ECL Lite Qualifiers, Bone Breakers continued their dominant display throughout the season and eventually won the ECL '24: Winter - Lite Championship, and with that a direct promotion to the Pro division. While quite a few teams in the playoffs were able to keep the games close, they only lost a total of three games in their championship run. This is definitely a team to follow in the upcoming ECL '24: Spring - Pro Season! Bone Breakers' road to the championship: #2 seed from Group 2 with the record 24-2-1-5 Round 1: vs Armada Hockey (31) 4-0 Round 2: vs Shameful Knights (17) 4-1 Quarterfinals: vs Finnish Roosters (11) 4-1 Semifinals: vs Almost Famous (12) 4-0 Finals: vs HEXA Esports (1) 4-1 The winning roster: GOALTENDERS #57 @rransu (A) #78 @Sgt Pallihiki #90 @IleKaa DEFENSEMEN #4 @BoBcapitano (C) #24 @Thewix93 (A) #65 @Jonetzky #88 @Klonkku FORWARDS #9 @MappeThePlayer #61 @Allupekkaz #71 @x-_-BoBi-_-x #79 @Valee__   RELIVE THE FINALS Games 1-3:   Games 4-5   On behalf of the entire SportsGamer community, we congratulate the Champions and extend a warm thank you to all participants!    
  6. SportsGamers, A long season and hard-fought Finals series saw us crown an ECL '24: Winter - Core Champion a while back, and we are happily announcing that the ones to hoist the cup were Belissimo! The Finals series was a spectacular reverse sweep: after the first three games it looked like Sack Brothers were going to run away with the win, but day two of the finals was all Belissimo and despite two one-goal games, there was simply no stopping them!   Belissimo's road to the Championship: #9 seed from Group 2 with the record 18-1-1-6 Round 1: vs Nordic Nosebleed (24) 4-0 Round 2: vs NAM3LESS (8) 4-2 Quarterfinals: vs MoDo Hockey (16) 4-3 Semifinals: vs Mights (4) 4-2 Finals: vs Sack Brothers (2) 4-3 The championship roster: GOALIES #76 @Odexm DEFENSEMEN #19 @SirSamul1 (A) #62 @Pyllyhaiseva FORWARDS #1 @Hauhtonen (C) #7 @Suxmani #88 @NokanKane #91 @MrMikkiL (A) On behalf of the whole community we want to thank all participants and congratulate our ECL '24: Winter - Spring Champions: Belissimo!   RELIVE THE FINALS Finals games 1-3:   Finals games 4-7:
  7. SportsGamers, As we wrap up the ECL '24: Winter season and turn our looks towards the Spring season, it's time to spotlight our winners this season.  In an exhilarating journey through the Neo season, Turun Gasellit rose from bit of an underd...uh undergazelle position as the #8 total seed after having finished second in Group 6. While the road wasn't easy, with the most nailbiting series requiring the full 5 games both against #25 Norland in Round 1 and #3 Old Hogs in the semifinals, Turun Gasellit showed up when it counted and are deserving of the title ECL '24: Winter - Neo Champions! Turun Gasellit's road to the championship: #8 seed from Group 6 with the record 13-0-4-1 Round 1: vs #25 Nordland 3-2 Round 2: vs #12 HC Wild Hogs 3-0 Quarterfinals: vs #7 Torspot 3-0 Semifinals: vs #3 Old Hogs 3-2 Finals: vs #11 Overping Threshers 3-1   The championship roster: #4 @Kostea2nen #7 @alluboi5 #18 @koskinen18 #23 @Veekkari85 #66 @johtaja_lebi #77 @SirRaitanen #81 @pohjarzinho    On behalf of the whole community we want to thank all participants and congratulations to the Turun Gasellit!
  8. SportsGamers, It's time to recap the ECL Elite Player Awards for the Winter '24 season!

(Swedish) Eligibility In the development of our regional leagues, the main objective has been creating a structure that allows all of the regional communities to shine, while strengthening each tournament’s own unique identity and sense of national pride. For SCL 2024, two non-Swedish players will be allowed per team on ice in a game – under very specific conditions. Here they are: Outside of the Swedish championship (SCL). The German (GCL), Finnish (eHSM), and Czech and Slovak (CSCL) communities will be defined as the “major communities” for the purposes of this text. Players hailing from nations that currently do not have a region-based championship to sign up for – one where they are allowed to play free of restrictions and are counted as the main target demographic – will be defined as “minor communities” for the purposes of this text. All teams must always feature a minimum of 4 Swedish players in their on-ice lineup Teams may feature a maximum of two non-Swedish players on ice if both players are from a minor community (for example: Danish, Norwegian, Latvian) Teams may feature a maximum of two non-Swedish players on ice if one player is from a major community (German, Finnish, Russian, Czech, Slovak) and the other player from a minor community Teams may NOT feature two non-Swedish players on ice if both those players are from a major community (German, Finnish, Russian, Czech, Slovak) Below you will find an image to help illustrate this rule clarification: The 1vs1 portion of the SCL is available only for Swedish citizens. We hope you are as excited as us to take the ice and battle for the Swedish Championship once again! Tough battles and some heated rivalries are to be expected, and we'll be bringing you the decisive games of the season live with our broadcast team as usual. So without further ado, get your squad together and sign up now! Finally, if you would like to help the SCL grow, please do so by spreading the word by sharing this news story.
  15. Hi @zSnYp7z - for some reason your community profile had been removed - perhaps your email wasn't verified within 30 days and it was auto-pruned. Nevertheless, this left your player card unlinked and that's why you were having this issue. I have re-linked your account with your player card and everything should be ok now. 👋
