Not even being fielded, you can count on him losing every match should he eventually be played. He'll be a great pick for any anti-team. Either you're metagaming, trying to make people put RorO on their antis, either you just showed you know absolutely nothing about FPL.  | ||

Such sweet irony, you must have been deeply hurt by roro as we all have been, picking, trusting, distrusting, bitterly crying... ;-) This time he's on my main (so he'll do jack shit, of course.) edit : talking to zealously, not harem ! | ||

Btw creator is going to roro the fuck out of this FPL, I see so many anti-teams with him even though 1. He's still pretty good at PvP in PvProleague 2. He will be fielded every prime match without a doubt. Creator gon be eatin on some FPL fams next year I don't know Kev... Creator has got a total of amazing 7 official games played since July. Maybe he is in good shape, maybe not, we just don't know I guess. I've always found him to be one of the most overrated Protosses, so maybe it's just my bias speaking. Even if he is really as bad as I think, he is still not the best choice for an anti team though because he will play all the time and might pick up a lucky win or two. | ||

Last thing though, would people recommend having at least one definite ace player on their team? My most expensive player is Zest, but I'd be a little surprised to see him in an ace match, unless Flash has really atrophied (although Zest does have a ridiculous vP). The problem is that it's a little hard to pick good ace players. SKT and Jinair have 2 players "competing" for the ace slot, I have no idea who Samsung, MVP, and IM will field, and Prime will probably consistently field Creator but I don't know how good he is anymore. Seems like only CJ (herO probably) and maybe KT have definite aces. | ||

In fact, take anything in the original post seriously at your own peril. I snuck in a few statements better suited for opposite day. On December 29 2013 05:25 jubil wrote: Pleasantly surprised to read this and find that my picks of Sora, Solar, and Squirtle were recommended, as was the decision not to pick soO (even though he won me many points over last PL), spread out my players over many teams, and putting Mvp on my anti. Though I am a little nervous about my Jila pick now....thinking about replacing him with Classic. Although, I do like having at least a little gamble in FPL, and Jila is pretty much guaranteed to play every week.

Seems like only CJ (herO probably) and maybe KT have definite aces. Personally, I'd only go for a player worth 7+ points if I know for sure that they'll be fielded every match and play most if not all ace matches (essentially Flash). Paying the 8 points for SK or Parting will net you a lot of points for their wins and the bonus points from SKT's wins, but since there are 3 or 4 players that could all potentially be fielded on any given day I'd feel more confident picking a more even line-up with two 6-pointers instead of one 8-pointer and one 4-pointer. If your expensive player pick backfires, you're in trouble if you got an 8-pointer, whereas the situation can be salvaged to a greater degree if you went for Hydra instead of SK, for example. As for aces: for Samsung, you can probably expect one of Solar or Stork to come out as ace (since they're apparently not playing Roro or Reality). Guessing the ace for MVP and IM is more difficult, but I'm leaning towards HerO given his previous experience in Proleague and the fact that he's pretty comparable to any of the other Protosses on the line-up most of the time. If not him, then probably Trap. MVP, I really have no idea. Leaning towards Dream as he is the only player (besides Shine but I don't know wtf is up with that) being fielded both matches, but I think it'll come down a lot to what form they show on the day they play. Super, Keen and DRG are possible aces as well depending on their form, but Super hasn't played at all recently, Keen looked kind of mediocre in the IEM Sao Paulo qualifiers and DRG is a mixed bag as always, I think Dream is the pick I'd go with for MVP's ace. CJ will probably field herO as the ace initially, but Sora, Bbyong and Hydra (maybe even Effort eventually?) are all good enough to possibly fill in for him at any point. KT will go with Flash because that's what they do. Edit: as an example, here is a top 5 team from last season. None of the players on the main team were 8/9-pointers, MisterAA instead opting for a more balanced team of, if I remember correctly, players valued mostly around 5/6. Each player was likely to be fielded most if not all matches, but he didn't bank on a hilariously expensive player like Flash or Innovation raking in ace match points on top of normal victories. | ||

I mean, why bother arguing that Stork or Solar would assume the ace while the first player is still terribad and the latter is no better than being somewhat potential? So yeah, putting the team ace on anti is rather stupid unless you deeply hate the player/team and/or hes simply that bad On the last point, if I know one thing from observing/playing FPL, you most likely need a super strong clutch heavy scorer (read:expansive) to actually break to the top and win the whole thing. Case like ByuL today is pretty rare as the opponent is weak. | ||

All strategies of picking potential ace candidates even from weaker teams are now .. Questionaboe at best... (I.e mine.) Example : creator, 1 win regular 1 loss in ace match : total : 1pt. T_T | ||

Why pick RorO when you can have Hydra, or Shine or Effort to fail even more ?! PS : No WJS group, shellshock, I'm questionning your loyalty to the Stars ... | ||
