Dude you realize that means everyone is going to aim for a super Week 1 to make sure they don't have the risk of getting permed, right? It's going to drastically fuck-up the incentive structure of the fantasy league

Perfect way to go with the all kill format. By the end of the round, all of you would be killed (permed)...good thing I'm not playing.

bans are perms

Ooh man. I mean, I'm down with living adventurously and all, but... putting your whole account on the line?! I like mine almost as much as The_Templar likes his I think..

Gogo Round 2! I'm feeling good except for the fact that I was forced to switch out (T)

Bogus for

Action in order to get low enough for the most important thing: keeping Woongjin Stars on the roster

I'd man up but only if there was a perm ban agreement after like 3 rounds. 1 round is a little short and a bit luck dependent.

as well as winner's league isn't really that good for perm ban. Someone is going to get lucky with like a player X reverse all-kill and you can't really say you "predicted" it. I don't think you can distinguish if a player will end up with 1, 2, or a 3 kill; picks are really based just on "this player is solid and I expect them to have good shots at consistent 2 kills". Some players just have a really hot day, and some players have a "disappointing" day (which sometimes can even mean 1 kill, which by all standards is "good" except for FPL points), and such day-to-day fluctuations are more "luck" based in terms of what-you-can-predict : fantasy-point-output ratio.

Except when picking your top dog (flash, bogus, rain, fantasy, taeja, etc) who you hope is really capable of a big streak, and with them you rely on their team losing so that they can have the opportunity for 3 kills or something.

In regular proleague format you can try to predict players who are good on specific maps/specialise in certain matchups and get a little bit more rewarded for it. At least IMO.

plus sc2 more volatile and not as legit.

f it i'm going all in, put all the chips in.
Can't pick a WJS player because too hard to pick who the ace is.
Can't pick a KT player because too expensive.
Skipped SKT aces because too expensive and picked team instead.
Baby Best Reality Revival Hero[join] to all kill, mini gets sent out and gets a win or two, and SKT wins both games 4-0. Hitman and JYP doesn't get sent out, and stork loses right out of the gate. Kthanks.
Yes I do notice that I didn't pick a single KT main team and infact picked one for Anti.

If I totally fail round 1 I'm out completely, if I win I will be retardedly far ahead.

All you anti-Storks will pay for your insolence. May the benevolent commander deliver justice to us all.

I had stork anti but then I went the even more blasphemous jaedong anti because apparently jaedong is going to NA for a US tournament. He'll at least miss 1 match.
