Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, would you like to have your shot at proving you can be the best Starcraft manager out there? Starcraft managers behind the scenes of clan wars have as a main role to identify players who will win in specific match ups on certain maps. Here is your chance to test your Brood War knowledge in Altitude's ISL Fantasy Pool!
The players participating in the pool have been divided into 9 separate groups, these groups are formed based on relative skill to other players. As such, each fan wishing to submit a team to the fantasy pool need merely select one player from each ensemble and submit it to altitudeislfantasypool@gmail.com. Once you have done this, all you need to do is sit back and relax! Maybe pull out some popcorn and watch the ISL every time it goes live as the progress of your team is monitored automatically by league officials!
Modifications based on sign up quantity1 - After clearing the group stage, you may not be eliminated till the round of 8. 2 - The cummulative score of your head-to-head matches from the round of 32 to the round of 8 will determine your advancement to the semi-final. - Organizer Game's Picks -  SneazeL 2-1  Bibiane 2-1  dOtY 2-0  Choosy 2-1  Dewalt 2-0 Dsyxelic 1-2  Skzlime 2-1  Karate 2-0  Vanatir 2-1 + Show Spoiler [Teams and divisions] ++ Show Spoiler [Pool A] +Eywa- 4 <> 6 AstrOuRound 5 <> 6 ChoosyAstrO 6 <> 4 Choosy - AstrO advances 2-0 Eywa- 4 <> 5 uRound - Eywa is eliminated 0-2 50% uRound 2 <> 2 Choosy 67% - Choosy advances 2-1, uRound is eliminated 1-2 Eywa-'s Team  Sziky  Kolll 2-1  DragOn 2-0  Choosy 2-1 DeSka 0-2 NoisE 1-2  Skzlime 2-1 INF3CTED 1-2  Vanatir 2-1 AstrO's Team  Semih 2-0  Bibiane 2-1  dOtY 2-0 TerrOr 1-2  Dewalt 2-0 JeuXx 0-2  Skzlime 2-1  Karate 2-0 Reaper 1-2 uRound's Team  Bakuryu 2-1  Pro7ect  LancerX 2-0 TerrOr 1-2  Dewalt 2-0 NoisE 1-2  TTF 2-1  Karate 2-0 LML 0-2 Choosy's Team  Sziky  Pro7ect  dOtY 2-0  Choosy 2-1  Dewalt 2-0 S2Glow 0-2  Skzlime 2-1  Karate 2-0  Defi 2-0 + Show Spoiler [Pool B] +Olabaz 6 <> 5 Shotcoder krndandaman 6 <> 3 Anklebreak Olabaz 3 <> 5 krndandaman - krndandaman advances 2-0 Shotcoder 6 <> 3 Anklebreak - Anklebreak is eliminated 0-2 Shotcoder 4 <> 3 Olabaz - Shotcoder advances 2-1, Olabaz is eliminated 1-2 Olabaz' Team  SneazeL 2-1  Michael  DragOn 2-0  Choosy 2-1 Plumbum 1-2 NoisE 1-2  Skzlime 2-1  Karate 2-0 LML 0-2 Shotcoder's Team  Bakuryu 2-1  Bibiane 2-1  AstrO 2-0  Choosy 2-1  SouthPark 2-0 NoisE 1-2  Skzlime 2-1  Karate 2-0 LML 0-2 krndandaman's Team  SneazeL 2-1 TrutaCz 0-2  DragOn 2-0  Bizzy 2-0 Plumbum 1-2 NoisE 1-2 gag 1-2 INF3CTED 1-2  Defi 2-0 Anklebreak's Team  Sziky  Pro7ect  AstrO 2-0  Bizzy 2-0 DeSka 0-2 JeuXx 0-2  TTF 2-1 Modesty 0-2 Reaper 1-2 + Show Spoiler [Pool C] +Solar 5 <> 4 Shimy Dan Numbers Guy 5 <> 4 Hacklebeast Solar 5 <> 3 Dan Numbers Guy - Solar advances on 2-0 Shimy 5 <> 4 Hacklebeast - Hacklebeast is eliminated 0-2 Shimy 3 <> 2 Dan Numbers Guy - Shimy advances on 2-1, Dan Numbers guy is eliminated 1-2 Solar's Team  Semih 2-0  Bibiane 2-1  Jumper 2-1  Bizzy 2-0 Kashu 1-2 JeuXx 0-2 LocDog 1-2  Karate 2-0 LML 0-2 Shimy's Team  Bakuryu 2-1  Kolll 2-1  dOtY 2-0 fLip 0-2 Kashu 1-2 NoisE 1-2  skzlime 2-1  Karate 2-0 LML 0-2 Dan Numbers Guy's Team  Semih 2-0  Kolll 2-1  dOtY 2-0  Napoleon 2-1 DeSka 0-2 JeuXx 0-2 LocDog 1-2 Largo 1-2 LML 0-2 Hacklebeast  Sziky  Kolll 2-1  AstrO 2-0 DinOt 0-2  SouthPark 2-0 Dsyxelic 1-2 gag 1-2 Largo 1-2 LML 0-2 + Show Spoiler [Tournament Bracket] +
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/shiroiusagi/isl3_format.jpg) While you're picking your team, you will want to keep in mind that when your player loses and is eliminated from the tournament, he will no longer be gaining points for you, thus, you don't only want to look at players who will make it through the group stages, you'll be wanting to predict the flow of play up to the very end.
Now, there are a few tricky things which you're going to want to consider while creating your team, the Fantasy Pool is going to be head to head following the format of the ISL itself. What does this mean? It basically means that the brackets will be a mirror of the ISL brackets, you will go through the group stage and the single elimination stages as if your fantasy team were an actual player. So, essentially, if you lose out your first two matches of the group, you are eliminated from the Fantasy Pool.
The groups will operate as such:
Team 1 <> Team 2 Team 3 <> Team 4 Winner 1 <> Winner 2 Loser 1 <> Loser 2 Loser 3 <> Winner 4
Loser of matches 4 and 5 are eliminated from the fantasy pool Winners of matches 3 and 5 move onto the Round of 32
All of the matches in the fantasy pool will include the corresponding set from the tournament bracket along with all other sets of the same map. For the remainder of the ISL (single elimination bracket), the fantasy pool will count all matches of a corresponding round.
Concerning the invites to the ISL itself, they are very risky picks given the format and they do not play in the group stages of the tournament. These players are Sziky, Ace, Pro7ecT and Michael. Pick these players with caution or you may find yourself out of the pool pretty quickly! While you're thinking about said invites, be sure to check out their 1on1 interviews with Pholon about ISL3, their preparation, anticipation, and observation of the Starleague thus far. Now that you're all experts on the format, please take a look at the groups below:
![[image loading]](http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad83/FFC-Ifrit/Fantasy1.jpg) [spoiler=Tie Breakers] Being as it's head to head, there is always the chance of a tie, therefore the following system determines who moves on: 1) Wins 2) Set Win:Loss Ratio 3) Total Tournament Wins 4) Total Tournament Set Win:Loss Ratio
In order to make the most educated decisions concerning your picks, it is suggested that you first take a look at the ISL Group Stage and how the match ups will progress. All this information and more which you can find here: Group Stage
Good Luck, pick wisely and have fun!

I highly encourage anyone who has been paying attention and or keeping track of Altitude's ISL thus far and plans to, as well as interact with the tournament and community in an attempt to see who can manage their way into a BW fantasy league win, to participate in this league.

Looks like fun, cookies

Koget posted twice (gr7/8), do we select a team name or you will just make a spread sheet with our user IDs as the tourney progresses?

While I think this is a great way to get more people involved, it might be better to only start the fantasy league once the tour is past the groupstage. Because by setting up a team right now, it is very much luckbased if you manage to get past the groups. For predictions alot will depend on the brackets, and those are impossible to predict ftm.
|
when are the points added up? for example: if I don't pick anyone from groups5-8, will I automatically lose that week? Also, do we keep players going into ro32, or do we repick them?

Hm this is basically why I only picked group players as well since they have a chance to get 2 wins, whereas the invites have to wait until next week

Hm this is basically why I only picked group players as well since they have a chance to get 2 wins, whereas the invites have to wait until next week  You're the reason I picked a lot of players not based on group seeding, as well as invites, because I'm playing known strengths over current tact.

At the end of each Round
Also, do we keep players going into ro32, or do we repick them?
You keep them throughout (if they're eliminated, you don't get to replace them).

I'd like to see how a gamer who plays almost every player in the pool regularly due to mass gaming picks them. Must wanna go heads up?

remember that atm Alfio may not play, so you might want to re-pick that or get all the information about that before you decide.

OP updated with teams, further explanation of the format, groups, and results!!!
|
why aren't people picking themselves on their teams? What's even weirder is that it's not even people know for their modesty.
|
Hm I thought that we are just going to have a list of scores based on individual picks, but we're competing against other people picking in group stages...?

Summation of scores for the group stages in which you'll compete in an ISL group stage format, 2 making it out of the groups. Once into the Ro32, 6 teams will play a round robin (like the WildCard between trutaCz, OctZerg, and ZaRaki), in which the 4 best records will advance into the semifinals. Tiebreakers are listed in the OP. Due to the competitive nature of the teams, it'd be a good idea to keep up on what is going on week by week simply because we have attached a prize for the winner of the league (notice my picks are disqualified, yet listed, to keep myself from the prize).
