Both guys will definetly get played a lot, FBH is doing better in WL but he is losing his grip on vs. T as he said and there will be a lot of terrans this round. While Best blew WL but his macro should get him through vs. T. Altough I think of Best being mechanically better, I think FBH of as being more adaptable (more important in R4) and well-rounded(getting there vs.P). Go with your sig, man, your sig. Also FBH gives much better ceremonies. | ||

Using the formula of (R2 points + WL points) / (2 * Current Cost), here are the best value picks of the round, ignoring 1 pointers. $2  Han 7.3After scoring a respectable 21 points in R2, WL anti-team favorite Han lost his only 3 WL games but still managed to pick up 8 points for being on MBC. For his cheap price, he may be good filler, or he may not win a single game again. $3 YoonJoong 7.0With 17 points in R2 and 25 points in WL, Shuttle has proven himself a reliable player. Despite playing second fiddle to Kal, Shuttle has the second highest ELO on STX after Calm. For $3, he should be a great bargain. $6  Really 6.3By virtue of the 50 points he scored in R2, Really was the best looking value player coming into WL. With a disappointing 9-8 performance and 26 points scored, he's dropped a point in value this round. He crashed and burned out of the starleagues to mediocre competition already, but will certainly see a lot of PL action given eStro's April roster cuts. $3  Action 6.3Like his teammate Really, Action should benefit from roster cuts. With 16 and 22 points scored in the last two rounds, Action has been a constant player with an average win rate. He'll play as much as Really and will likely win just as many games for half the price. eStro simply has no one else to play. $5 Kwanro 6.3Like Really, Kwanro had an excellent R2 and a break even WL. His price hasn't dropped any, but he's still a solid player who's unlikely to under perform his price tag. 1 pointer honorable mentions Tempest and Barracks are both $1 KT players who may see a lineup appearance or two. If KT continues their PL domination, they'll pay for themselves on the bench anyway. SoulKey is worth a look as well. His playoff all-kill didn't count towards his point total so he's still a $1 player with a lot of upside. Bogus is $1, and STX's wins may pay for that even if he doesn't get any play time. | ||

Violet probably won't see much play time with Stats there, at best he'll be sharing. Either way, I don't think Violet should cost too many points... except for team points. If you're willing to eat those (since KT will probably win a good majority of matches) get Violet. I personally have him, Bisu, and Perfectman for an anti, which I feel is pretty safe. | ||

I think Bisu should be a good AT pick. He'll probably win a few, but probably not enough to compensate for his cost. And it allows me to put both Modesty and Jaehoon | ||

With that in mind: Radfield Main Team 3 Action4 Baby7 Calm5 Free1 Soulkey (captain)7 Stork3 Woongjin Stars Calm and Stork are solid locks for playing the ace match Baby and Action both have a good shot at splitting Ace-match time for cheap. Free might possibly sneak in a few Ace-match games by virtue of being the only good non-zerg on the team. All 5 should play each week. With Woongjin no longer forced to play a terran, I think this means we'll see Soulkey a lot more, at least I hope so... Either way, I expect Woongjin to rack up so wins this round which means Soulkey should at least pay for himself at 1 point. | ||

Without line-ups in advance, all you can do is play the odds and hope that as many of your players play as possible. There is no downside this round to playing and losing. Also, I think it's going to be even more important to pick players who have a good chance of showing up in the ACE match. This round is going to be all about maximizing Games Played I think.

I agree with you on Action and Baby (on my team) and I have Sea for MBC's Ace match. For my other two players, Kwanro will see a lot of play time for Stars and, like free, could potentially get a few Ace matches in, and Stats and Shuttle should get enough playing time to cover for their three points. And of course, KT wins points yes? | ||

Main Team 7 Bisu (captain)He has absolutely no leagues to practice for, no more name he needs to protect, a Bisu with nothing to lose will be unstoppable, in my dreams at least. 3 FirebatheroThere is no way I will ever go into an FPL without this guy. Hoping he can bring out his monster TvT again. I had to choose between him or Best, it was a toss up till I saw my sig. 6 JangbiI needed a Khan toss or I will shame my Khan fan dignity. I watched Stork and jangbi's games, and quite frankly, jangbi is just playing better starcraft at the moment. 1 MVPFor 1 point, and considering how damn well he is doing and playing in his games, he is a bargain. 3 YoonJoongDude has been pimping noobs and Bisu. For 3 points and no race restrictions, bargain. 7 ZeroOnly zerg who is solid in all 3 match ups at the moment. When he goes up against scrubs(especially terran) I never worry about a loss unlike the other top zergs. 3 Woongjin Stars 3rd place WL winners for 3 points? Need I say more? | ||
