Due to convenience reasons, SHS will no longer be operating on this site! We are now located on facebook and are using discord for the chat. For information, our discord chat is here: https://discord.gg/84ue8Vv. It has been a pleasure meeting and serving everyone on this website, but if we wish to move on, we must start fresh in a new location. I hope everyone understands and we hope to see new and old faces. With all that is said and done, SHS is officially up and running again and we had our first tournament on 2/24/2017!! As discussed, we can still hold the 10 year anniversary party. - Thanks for you understanding! With love, Pijy

------[ #2: Wolves Anonymous ]------
By SHS_JJEmpire


Wolves Anonymous, what happened to you?
During the preseason period, you looked like the one that'd win it all. You boasted ranks of active members, the skills to go deep in tournaments, and the willingness to actually try and organize. You even snatched a Squad War victory against Team Rocket, the same Squad who just cliched the Amethyst Rainforest season title.
Then shortly after the season began, it all fell apart.
The activity that was the core of your strength vanished. You struggled to get points on the Leaderboard, and soon Team Rocket and the Chess Pieces passed you by on the way to the top. The supposed eventful champions somehow landed in last place, behind a Squad who were supposed to be the underdogs and a Squad who was barely a shadow of its former self.
What the hell happened?
"Not long after the Squad War [with Team Rocket], most of the people in my Squad had major personal issues," Krystal, leader of the Wolves Anonymous, said in a interview earlier. "Deaths in the family, getting sick, and having to take care of injured family members all took up our time. We've been attempting to get back on our feet now that things are more settled at home, but school has been a major factor as well."
After being in last place for most of the tournament season and continuing to be rattled by setbacks, Krystal and several of her members finally got together to discuss the possibility of disbanding the Wolves and going their separate ways. But while disbanding is still on the table, Krystal's not giving up yet.
"[Disbanding] is not something I really want to happen," Krystal said. "Judging by the way we're currently being inactive and not communicating much, it seems like a possible option. However, if that changes with the summer season bringing more activity, then we'll be able to get back on our feet."
And in anticipation of the summer season, Krystal's been going over her roster, trying to shake up the Squad and see what needs to be fixed.
"I already know that I'll be replacing a few people," Krystal said. "At the moment, we have a spot open, so I'm simply waiting for a potential new member to join. As time goes on, I hope to see my Squad pick up so I don't have to replace more then two or three members."
For now, until summer comes around, the Wolves should use the rest of the season to help get a better impression of their flaws and who needs to go. There's less then a month left, and with Team Rocket having locked up the regular season title, a good way to test the waters would be to attempt snatching second place from the Chess Pieces and keeping it.
But why stop there? The Wolves could really redeem themselves by embarrassing the regular-season champions. Team Rocket has only two tiles left on the Squad Wars grid, and the Wolves are currently fighting for one of them. The Wolves could very well be in position to kick Team Rocket off the grid entirely.
If it happens, that'd be one hell of a statement for next season right there, and a memorable end to an otherwise abysmal season.
If it happens.

I agree with Nev, this article definitely has a more serious tone to it then the ZG one. Also, I only see quotes from Krystal, why not others?

Yeah, that's what I was trying to go for, considering the situation the Wolves were in.

I didn't really get around to interviewing people other then Krystal, so that's all I had. If you guys want to see quotes from more people, I'll be glad to try and do that in future articles.
