JHB’s History as GM

Now a lot of us know the story of how you joined the league -- but for our listeners that are not familiar, would you recount the tale of how you joined the league? 1:19

What's it like working in logistics and balancing a team?! 6:10

Using macros to have more success. 7:00

What did you feel like you were bad/good at right from the get go? What took more time to adjust to? Is there anything you still don’t feel comfortable with? 14:00

Do you have a proudest moment as GM? How about most shameful? 16:30


JHB’s Thoughts on the League

Previous leagues vs 5.0, What did they do better? 17:30

Moving into more recent territory -- what do you think about draft classes in 5.0? There are significant differences from 4.0 and even within 5.0 itself as time as gone on. Do you think we’ve hit a sweet spot? Is anything lacking? Would you change/add/takeaway anything about how pre-draft information is delivered or presented? 23:00

What do you think about trading where we stand right now -- there seems to be a decent amount of activity. Is it too hard to trade? Too easy? Any rules you would want to see changed/added/taken away? 27:00

League meta. What type of team do you think is best? Is there a best DC or offense to run with the current types of players we see? 30:00

Rookie FA? 36:00

JHB’s Thoughts on other GMs

First let’s just talk about former GMs. I’ll give you some leeway on what you want to talk about here, but I’m interested in hearing a few of your favorite / least favorite former GMs. 37:30

Rank GMs by tier. 39:00

Give specifics on the ordering of GM rankings in Tier 3. 43:30

You don’t have to talk about everyone here, but maybe your favorite/least favorite current GM personally. 47:00

What do you think about the state of the league right now in terms of number of GMs? Do you like the way we currently expand/contract the league? Would you change anything about how we hire/fire gms? 52:00

[killybing]

There's a particular juicy section where JHB ranks all the GMs by tier (39:00) and then goes specific inside one of the bigger tiers and even gives advice to those GMs on how to break through to the next tier: (43:30). So give it a listen if these aren't usually your thing!
