Is there still a race restriction (needing 1 player of each race) after trades? Or can you end up leaving out a race (ie. no terran)?

The race restriction still exists.

Correct, Winner's League was a one time event; back to the normal format for next round.

To be honest, that Fail team idea sounds really stupid.

Care to explain why it's "really stupid"?

It's just my opinion. I've never seen that sort of thing done in any other type of fantasy league. I think it just complicates things.

I just think the idea is a little lame. If players start to win in PL, they will start to be sent out more, resulting in future points and if start to lose a ton, they'll obviously be sent out less, which will prevent them from losing anymore.

It seems like just guessing which player is about to go into a slump, which doesn't seem like it goes along with the spirit of the competition.


Except thats exactly what you're doing already, except your picking the players you don't expect to slump. This is just another way to add some more depth to a system that is really lacking in choices unlike fantasy baseball for example which can use any number of statistics for scoring. We're pretty much limited to wins and losses for a scoring system. The anti team also helps provide more variety (which is sorely needed with 1000+ people signing up) and can provide for more entertainment when watching matches too--just look at Tifa who in our beta had Hiya on anti team who lost 22 points and resulted in a couple instances of the following:

note to all: DO NOT PUT HYVAA ON YOUR ANTI-TEAM. IT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA

Well seeing how he did R1 and R2 he is good for 8 point worth of it to be in anti-team, perhaps WL just fits him better.

Choosing hyvaa as main team will be big risk.

No, it can't. In your system, losing the only game you play (non-ace match) would net -1 points. In the posted system it would net 0 points.

Edit: Unless you are doing away with the -1 for losing. The numbers match then but the Appearance points are used for statistics. That's the reason they keep them in.

Also, if you are posted to play in the fourth game, and then your team goes 3-0, you still get the one point for lineup appearance.

how comes that OZ barely finished second, and CJ dominated the WL, and OZ costs still the most, 2 points more than CJ

Oz and CJ both performed about the same in Winner's League, also the cost calculations are taking into account the previous round's (R2) performance too since it's moving back to the old format as opposed to the winner's league format for this last round.
