We were fully intending to buy Draco at one moment until Mani told us this was in his player profile:
Can Play:
M-F 2:30PM - 5:00PM CET
Cannot Play:
M-F 12AM - 2:30PM & 5PM - 12AM CET
Which is quite ridiculous. If he actually holds himself to this schedule I doubt he is much use to any team. Out of all those guys who have school and work, his life is based around StarCraft but he can't find more than 2 and a half hours to play? Anyway I think by the time it was our turn again Draco was gone already. And if he wasn't it was because we didn't want to pick him anymore.
oh ok

LX is a great player and better than a huge number of the people we could have bought, so he was definitely worth his minerals.
|
TL team looks pretty decent, the only downside being that theo, ret, and fisheye are all fairly inactive aren't they? and what about kosiro[shield]? i know he used to be ownage but i haven't seen any reps of him in ages :O

now we need to find some motivation for ret and fisheye to become active again.

* Other
o $500 will be awarded to each team MVP (the player who wins the most individual games for his or her team)
o $200 will be awarded to each player of the Best Overall Game
|
I think we should have gone for the best players (that we thought we could afford) first rather than trying to save minerals for the end, but we ended up with an ok team.
|
Oh yeah FISHEYE!!!!!! Please prepare and you will smoke!!!

nazgul, so you mean first you got to chose 6th place, and the next round you also got to chose 6th?
I thought it was 1-8 8-1 1-8 8-1 etc... and then you would be able to get both kosiro and siz)o.ov
|
tl and pgr will do well i think

it was 1-8 8-1
they were going to pick kosiro and o.ov 1st and 3rd rounds, taking siz)fantasy in the 2nd round. they were 6th in both 1st and 3rd rounds, and pgr21 took kosiro/o.ov 5th in those rounds.

ah ok so u wanted fantasy over o.ov then.
littlechava, we havent seen many reps from kasiro lately coz he is a pro gamer^^

It did go 1-8, 8-1, etc.
It's true that o.ov could have been picked up in the second round but siz)fantasy was chosen instead. former progamer I believe? Even pgr chose a terran(polaris) and picked up o.ov later on. It's amazing how he lasted so long in the draft.
edit
very slow lol

So is there some sort of penalty for people who got free players for over spending? I mean, they should just get auto losses if they can't fill a spot.
Just checked, so some people had to buy people that cost less then Selector and reps.ru got him for free. gay
|
pgr21's totally got this. gg.net is probably going to end up as a nonfactor, and I think the rest of the teams will take games on pgr21 but will not beat it.

yea, after FA I thought we were going to snap up draco considering we had been pretty cheap so far and we actually had the chance to get him.

Im sure its not his schedule but his team's practice schedule.

So, basically, the way I get this:
TeamLiquid - Progamers and outsiders
GosuGamers.net - European power
SCLegacy - Americans with backup
Fighterforum - The odd choices: the girl, the expensive Draco, the semi-retired CrayOn, the cheap Quirion and the inactive Ovvi
ygclan - Mediocre with a flavour of top
broodwar.de - Good Korea with a bit of Europe
reps.ru - The Koreans and the weak
|
The amount of koreans in this makes a nice balance actually. It makes relatively weak teams that would have been steam rolled into formidable solid opponents. This is the first event i've seen in a while where it is nearly impossible to predict a winner with great accuracy.
|
Pgr21 definitly has the best roster but who knows many unenexptected things can happen.
|
at first i wasn't so sure about tl.net's picks but nazgul's explanations helped a lot =O
we have an OK team (especially for picking 6th)
I don't really see us winning unless like ret/fisheye turn active (which they have ample time to do)
oh and pgr21 have a stacked team
