Honestly, I'd rather have OZ send out more non-JD players out to ace early on in the season for experience sake than just be stuck as a one-player team. I think it's a really smart move on the coach's part to give the team more depth as others have said.

I hope Lomo loses. I say this only because Lomo is on my anti-team.

You heard that Hot Bid heard from someone at Blizzcon who heard progamers say that the Oz coaches boasted that Jaedong wouldn't be sent for ACE in R1.

I believe that, espeically if he's not sent for ace today.

If that is true (and it may very well be true, considering how much bullshit that Oz got last season for its Jaedong heavy strategy), my Fantasy is screwed and Oz may also get screwed.

Flash got the best shot at the MVP title this season, so it seems.

By the way, awesome OP. I stared at it for a good 3 seconds and had to chuckle.

Same here, I don't really hate him though, he's just Lomo...

What's best for fantasy:
+ Show Spoiler +

Killer < Tornado > (Z)

Kwanro

Jaedong < Heartbreak Ridge > ZerO
Lomo < Moon Glaive > (T)

MVP
PerfectMan < Match Point > (P)

free[gm]
Ace < Outsider SE >

But I like Jaedong, and I'm not expecting ZerO's ZvJ to be any better than his pretty bad ZvZ. Here's what I actually expect.
+ Show Spoiler +

Killer < Tornado > Kwanro
Jaedong < Heartbreak Ridge > (Z)

ZerO
Lomo < Moon Glaive > (T)

MVP
PerfectMan < Match Point > (P)

Ace < Outsider SE >

Traded away Lomo on AT- his chance of winning this week is pretty good, imo.

Yeah I'm going to need PerfectMan to win his match for my FPL. So one of the other OZ guys + free have to lose.

I just want to see Jaedong in ACE and prove it to me that I did not make the biggest mistake possible when I traded away Flash for Jaedong minutes before Fantasy signup was closed.

Stars needs to stop sending out Zero on zerg favoured maps, he is a horrible ZvZ player.

Which is funny because he debuted as an amazing ZvZ player. Then Luxury crushed him and it was all down hill from there.

Alright, my FPL is almost in the negatives here. Jaedong needs to win his game, take this to the ace match and win that game.

Also, sorry Killer, I like ya kid, but Kwanro's gotta win his game too.

Hwaseung 3-1 with Jaedong victory is best for my Fantasy team. B/c I am NOT confident about chances of Jaedong appearing as Ace lol.

Maybe Oz is using R1 (and maybe R2) as their experiment phase. If it does not turn out as they expected, they can always abuse JD's appearance in the last 3 rounds and still make it to the play-offs or even grand finals. I think it's a good idea because boosting young players confidence and experience is exactly what they need right now. Sure they can always send out Jaedong twice in every match, but what will happen if he's overloaded again? Either they should get the like of Killer, or Perfectman to be decent enough to get wins on a more regular basis, or hope that the failband of Backho/Lomo/Hiya to actually contribute something.
