EPTOhbtw, I'd love to thank HotBid. I didn't register correctly in the FPL in the first place, but this guy still fit me in a couple days later. Thanks >

Anti-Team
CalmMindGrapeSkyhigh 2-0 (Effectively the only guy holding my team together and inspiring me to go on and not just go "Fuck it. Screw FPL")
Skyhigh was a odd pick. I needed a 4 pointer to finish my team and max out on the 30 points, but there was alot of other choices. What made SkyHigh stand out from BeSt was that I already picked Canata, and BeSt kinda shares a slot with him, which is kinda redundant getting
BeSt and Canata imo. SkyHigh also lost all his games in R1 right? I didn't know that when I picked him >. Plus, wasnt there a interview saying that Skyhigh was the best player on CJ, but he just gets nervous in televised games? I didnt pick RuBy because ACE (as much as I love them) isnt a team that can backup RuBy in most cases. Dont get me wrong, I love his 12-18 Starport rape, but ACE just wont get that extra 1 point teamwin that I like. Shine,HiyA,Light were all meh in my opinion. I dont think any of them reverse-allkill'd JD and crew. > Going 2-0, I dont have any plans to trade even if he loses to Mind(iirc). (He wont.)JangBi 1-1 ( Lawl. Double Gas Steal made my day)
I picked Jangbi because... I believed he actually could do something right this round. Y'know, maybe win some matches. His name was more notable than some other 2 pointers, and he seemed like he could win a match even in his slump. (Im looking at you ForGG.). Seems Im right, He smashed in week 1 with a sexy gas steal into double gas steal into double forge wall-in. A loss to Kal was expected. I dont plan to trade him off anytime soon.
Stork 1-1 (Stooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooork)
At 5 points, Stork is a steal. If you didnt get him, well... you deserve to die.. or lose your next SC game. This guy is a absolute beast. Granted he went into a 4 game "slump", but that "slump" seemed to have ended.
+ Show Spoiler +
He crushed Flash
His loss to By.Hero is regrettable, but by no means is it gonna make me go "OMG TRADE NOW". PvZ isnt Stork's strength, but when you're a absolute beast at the other 2 matchups, its perfectly fine. (59% PvP. 67% PvT. 55% PvZ) Hes going to pick up some steam and do perfectly fine, I have no doubts about it. I picked Stork because all of the other 5 pointers didnt seem great. Granted,
Kal is doing better than expected. Seriously though, Roro and Mind. Seriously? They're 5 points? Though Mind and RorO seem to have a easy week in W3.Violet 1-1 (Dark Archon --> PvZ Rape. Look at Violet vs Hyuk)
I picked Violet because he's basically a Protoss version of
Flash/Sea. Dropping from both individual leagues, he has all the time in the world to crush in the SPL. While worried about his 3 points and how hes going against Sea. I think he has a decent chance of beating Sea. (Yes, you read this correctly. I think Violet has it in him to beat Sea.) Violet is a consistent player, like when he went undefeated in R1 and contributed to KT's 11-1 ratio.(10-1? Idk). As my captain, I pretty much pointed to him as my go-to guy. While R2 has been bumpy for Violet, I think he'll pay off in the long run.Canata 1-1 (Ohman, He beat + Show Spoiler +
EffOrt
To be honest, in the sea of mediocrity that was the 2-pointers. I picked Canata because of A. His experience. B. His innovative builds (Valkonic vs JD iirc)C. He plays consistently imo. You can imagine my face when i saw the lineups and saw him pitted against
Jaedong and EffOrt. I thought "Oh yeah. -4 points right there". Haha. I was actually planning to trade him off after if he lost both games... HAHA HE DIDNT. + Show Spoiler +EffOrt
YellOw[ArnC] (...)Traded his ass. I swear, I thought he could take a some terran noob. I mean, Yellow's ZvT is his best. BUT NOOO. HE LOST. HE LOST. HE LOST. Then...HE LOST TO SEA. Ughh. Go die Yarnc. Go die. Traded for...
by.hero (WOOO)I picked hero because he was gonna give me the most points, he beat Stork, and he beat Bisu. Im pretty happy.
Calm 1-1 (nononono)
Going 2-6 in R1. He seemed like a good choice. Ohohoho. Im wrong. He has 2 easy matches in W3. I expect him to just rape my score. Good god. :<. Well.. He is the least deadly high pointer I saw. Thank god i picked him instead of someone like...
Really.Mind 1-0 (slump more plz)
Weak. How the hell did Mind win. He shoulda been slumping. :<. Ohwell. He seemed the safest choice compared to Roro or Kal. Thank god, I think I can count on his game to drop if Im lucky. >
Grape (LOL. Im the only one with him)
I needed a 1 pointer who wouldnt do crap.
I'll prolly edit more later, but my goal is top 500 for now.
