so what is to expect from the new format regarding star player appeareance in line - up, because I am not to familiar with it. Will the coaches send out thei best players on the 1st game? or keep it for 3rd and 4th?

I heard in foreign scene this format is pretty used - what are the strategies?

Will the maps (balance) matter least?

Line-up announcement is still going to happen?

OK, I think I've figured this out.

KeSPA have decided, hey, if we use this format while using the PL name, what if this is a complete flop?

So, the reason why there is a final on the 28th, is that this is just a way of trying a new league without completely wiping out the PL.

So after this Winners League, KeSPA will move back to the Proleague.

if TL;DR

My understanding is.
Proleague -> Still Normal, but on hiatus until WL is done.
Winners League -> New thing, new table etc etc.

I don't remember if MBC Team League had lineups, but I think R3 might require them. I'd personally prefer if they didn't ask for lineups, because that way, we could see a lot of the team ace's getting sniped, and it would always be a cliffhanger wanting to know who is coming next.

from what i'm gathering on irc;

coaches have to submit a list of players who might play in that game 48 hours before that game starts
coaches must submit the name of a player who will play the first set.
when the games start, coaches are only allowed a maximum of 5 minutes to decide who they shall send out next.

This format sounds so awesome... But picking players will be hard... I think i'm just going with guys i want to do good...

Last Fantasy-PL went not as bad as my rank says... aside from my plain wrong captain pick (Calm) which really hurt - nearly no Ace appearance and not doing good at all - the rest of my team did good/ok with one exception...
But it was really awefull to want one player win because I like him while he's playing against one of my PL-Guys...

Go with the heart :p.

Sounds strange. There's going to be some serious sniping going on. On the other hand, it will be hard to prepare for the players because the format is so flexible. I predict lots of upsets.

Noob questions:
What is the team captain actually good for, except it can't be traded away? I read for tiebreaking, but is that all? The captain with more points trumping the lower point captain? So you would always make your best player the captain?
Furthermore, can I have as many players as I want, basically making it a tradeoff between many cheap players with lots of lineup appearance points versus a few quality players getting points for wins? I should learn to read the OP.

I'm curious why the at least one player from each race rule exists. If I could, I would make an all zerg team.

PL has the same rule(one player of each race in every lineup), so Fantasy PL has it too.

Are Proleague coaches going to be required to use one player from each race in this new format?
Zero fighting.

I'm guessing they will have to. Anyways, most of the matches going to the 5th/6th game, and due to the all-kill format, race sniping won't give you the luxury of playing only your 4 terrans and 3 tosses.

Did anyone else notice the alt text in the link "Fantasy Proleague R3 signups will open in less than a day, as will the new Liquibet season."?

I have too much free time on my hands...

I think the scoring system could be better. It's very hard to win more than 1 game in a row, since the opposing coach can send out a counter to any winning player's race and playstyle, and IMO the scoring system should reflect that. Anyone agree/disagree?

Yep, i suggest 1/3/5/7 points for in-game streaks.

yes make sense, but you should come up with some alternative...

Also, for the scoring system I think a +1 in total for a players that makes the line-up but looses would be fine.

So..I dont know, maybe line-up appeareance is +2, or game lost is not penalized anymore.
