Leta on anti was murder. He was #1 for a while until the OZ match put Jaedong back up. Naturally, I traded Leta first thing when trades came up, lol. | ||

On the same day player A goes 0-2, losing his regular game and the ace match as well. According to the current system this will have no impact to his score, he will gain or lose 0 points, because he will -2 points for his regular loss, but +2 just because he played ace. A player, going 0-2 on the same day, is clearly underperfoming, but this still has no reflection on the macro picture. Its a big gamble to have a high price player on the anti. I picked Sea, and having in mind yesterdays match, my choice seems to be correct (I have a player, who lost twice in a single day, on my anti) but yet this doesnt get "rewarded". My suggestion is just to have -2 for the ace match losses as well Really agree with this, having Really on my anti team lose twice the same day and break even in points just sucks. This makes you just focus on players not playing (or at least not playing ace matches) like before even tho your intentions with the new system of them gaining you points was so people could look for players who would lose and earn from it. | ||

I think in the original rule change there was a -2 loss for ace match losses but Hot_Bid and Abydos changed it to 0. Yeah, found that quote, not that I'm helping with anything just demonstrating that it used to be the way you're suggesting, I guess.

With the new system, someone who aces but loses gains zero points from it, while winner takes all. This makes aces from strong teams (bisu, flash, jaedong, effort) even better. They were considered safe picks in the previous seasons and they will be even safer with the changes.

Just for the last week the 0-2 in the same day scenario happened like 5 times The current system just made completely pointless to have Bisu/Jd/Flash/ZerO/EffOrt/Sea/Really/Calm/RorO on the anti. Not because its impossible for them to underperform, but because they are scoring that +2 from the Ace by default. The real issue with that is, limiting the possibilities for the anti team. By the start of the season I decided to go for one super high price guy and two lasser dudes, who wont get to play, but even thou my high price player is losing, the strategy doesnt seem to pay off. Look it the other way around - if you have Really on your main and he starts sucking, you can trade him for a guy like Movie and thus avoid losing points. If you have Really or Sea on the anti thou, you can trade them for Flash... which is not really an option Ofc the main reason my team is ranked just 600th is not that I picked the wrong strategy for the anti. Yes, I could've scored a couple of points from Sea, but the way it is right now, I didnt scored more and the ppl who are ahead of me, and have Really/RorO etc, havent score much less as well. its really strange, cause some of the FPLs teams are just winning without doing a single thing | ||

Example, Roro loses 0-2 in one day, if i managed to guess it right i'm getting rewarded +3 points on anti. He's -3. Roro goes 0-1 (just ace), he's -1 Roro goes 1-1, he's +3 or more with streak Roro goes 1-0 (just ace), he's +5 or more Roro goes 2-0, he's +9 or more with bonuses, which is less, than current guaranteed +11 It will allow strong guys on anti actually lose enough value to trade them off, instead of being stuck with these hot players with no good options. It allows operating with weak aces like Roro, Mind, potentially Shine, so they can gain anti points and lose value, while right now it isn't worth it. So basically it's what disciple wanted. Players like Zero, Free, Fantasy become interesting short term anti options, they will also be unable to score insane points just being sent on ace all the time, losing or not, like R1 3-pointer Zero, this is a possibility to dispose of a high pointer that is murdering your anti. A very risky and hard guess of 0-2 becomes rewarding. More depth and skill in your picks this way. | ||

That's a decent one, especially if he sticks around. Kwanro can win easily too and Turn can disappear. I think many if not all of these options are going to succeed actually. | ||
