Fantasy WL 09-10 Signups
January 20th, 2010 08:48 GMT
Play Fantasy Proleague! It's fun, easy, and makes watching Proleague much more exciting. You don't need to spend any time on managing your team during the season if you don't want to. If you don't fully understand the rules, don't worry. The basic thing to remember is, pick players for your "Main Team" that you think will do well, and pick players for your "Anti Team" who you think will do poorly.
What is Winners League?
Winners League is a variant form of regular Proleague held once a year during Round 3. The results do not count for ordinary Proleague standings, and there is a separate Winners League playoffs at the end of the round. Instead of a Bo5 match where each team names players on each map, Winners League is Bo7, and only the players for the first map are named. The winning player continues to play. Thus the first player could win the match himself with four straight wins. This is called an "All-Kill." Similarly, if a team is down 0-3, their fourth player could still win the match for them 4-3 with four straight wins. This is called a "Reverse All-Kill."
Winners League is very difficult for the players, as they often do not know which race or opponent they will be facing. Winning players also must play on several different maps. However, it often produces very dramatic matches. In the 2009 Winners League, Jaedong opened with three wins (over Effort, Savior, and Iris) to put Hwaseung Oz ahead 3-0 against CJ Entus, but Skyhigh came back with four straight wins (Jaedong, Young, Spear, Hiya) to complete a Reverse All-Kill and win it for CJ.
Fantasy Winners League Scoring
Player Scoring:
Lineup Appearance: +1 Point*
Game Win: +2 Points
Game Loss: -1 Point
2-Game Streak Break: +1 Point**
3-Game Streak Break: +2 Points**
Your Player's Team Wins: +1 Point***
*Only counts once, i.e. if Flash goes 4-0, he still only gets 1 appearance point
**Streaks do not carry over between matches, all streaks must occur in the same match
***This counts for all players on the team's roster, even if they did not play in the match

4-0 Victory: 8 Points
4-1 Victory: 6 Points
4-2 Victory: 4 Points
4-3 Victory: 2 Points
3-4 Defeat: 1 Point

How to Play
- You choose 6 players and 1 Pro Team that score points when they play well.
- You pick 3 players that lose you points when they play well.
- Players and teams can be traded between weeks for those valued less than them.
Team Selection
Main Team
- Pick 6 players for your Main Team, including a captain who will be a tiebreaker
- Pick 1 Proleague team (i.e. STX, CJ, SKT, etc.)
- You cannot trade your captain (more on trading later)
- Your 6 players and 1 Proleague team cannot exceed 30 points in cost
- Your Main Team must contain at least one of each race at all times
Anti Team
- Pick 3 players for your Anti Team
- These players will score points just like Main Team players, but their score counts against you
- Your Anti Team must have a value of at least 13 points (minimum)
Basic Team Selection Strategy
- Pick players for your Main Team who you believe will exceed their point value from last round (underrated or rising players)
- Pick players for your Anti Team who you believe will do worse than they did last round (overrated or slumping players)
- Designate as Captain a player who you believe will be a lock to be good throughout the season, because you can't trade him
Trading
Trading Rules
- Each week you can trade players (swap a player for someone you don't have)
- Every player has a trade value, and you can only trade for players of lower value
- You will be limited to a maximum 2 Main Team and 1 Anti Team trades per week
- Trades do not carry over if unused
- Each time you trade, your team will be assessed a -1 point trade tax
Basic Trading Strategy
- Check lineups each week! Players in the lineup are usually more valuable.
- Don't make trades just for sake of making trades, as they cost you trade tax points and you may get stuck with a player you don't want
- The trade price formula takes into account number of matches remaining -- so players with more matches remaining will have higher prices
- You must trade for players with less value, but try to minimize the value loss. For example, if you trade someone worth 30 for someone worth 20, next week you can only trade the 20 for someone less. It's much better to trade the 30 for someone worth 29.
Groups
You will be able to create and join groups so you can compare your results with a smaller subset of the players, for example there might be a Staff Group, a First Time FPL Group, a USA Players Group, or a group created by you with just your friends.
Good luck, and tell your friends!

Is there a list with the cost of all the players, like in the last round?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wth??? the value of almost every single player has been raised but the maximum allocated points still remain at 30.it's too difficult for me.
|
|
|
Niiiiiiiiice.
time to have nothing to do with roro anymore. he screwed over my last team so bad on the antiteam.
Tomorrow I shall invest hours in constructing the perfect fantasy team.

Is gosl[flying] not in the estro lineup for WL?
Edit: couldn't recognise him without the gosl, hes there =/.

Why is CJ still so expensive? >_>
|
|

I understand that there is no 1-per-race rule for the teams, i.e. Oz aren't required to send one of their sucky protoss if they do not want to. Is this correct? And players are sent on the fly without notice beforehand, so there's gonna be some hardcore sniping going on?
(Fantasy participants still need one of each race on their main teams, this is not the question.)

Edit: Google translated your actual team name.
EPIC WIN!

4  Best
2 PerfectMan
7  Really
3 Shine
8 Zero (captain)
3 eSTRO
Anti Team
3 CuteAngel
5 Hwasin
5 Movie
Two seasons ago I picked Sea for my antiteam, suddenly he started to play well. So last season I picked Leta and he started to play well too.
If one of these guys starts to win (Movie might but its winnersleague so CJ will send zergs instead and slump prediction).
Why is Anytime 2 points when he ended up -1 points?
|
I feel like Movie will at least do decently.

9 Jaedong (captain)
4 Pure
3 Hite Sparkyz
Anti Team
2 BackHo
9 Bisu
2 Jaehoon
my analysis
i gonna copy what the champion did by choosing Bisu as anti since he is the most unstable top player and can lose to no name crap. As for failho and failhoon,what else do i need to mention
now main team
jaedong and effort are sure all kill imo
gogo is a random T unless some1 can recommend me a good 3 pointer
pure /hoejja/baby did quite a decent of effort in PL so i guess i can trust them

Figured since it's Winner's League, picking top players likely to all-kill is important. Of course, picking the unknowns who will come out of nowhere to perform insane all-kills by beating said top players would be even better...but consequently much harder. We'll see...

OK, Roro killed my anti last time, but this time, he can't get lucky with lineups like he did last round. I'm gonna go for it again.
I also had to think hard on my eSTRo choice...it seems that picking a good team is a lot more important this round, but I have a gut feeling that eSTRo will be a monster this round..

They way I see it, the WL format reduces the likelihood that mediocre and bad players will get played, and increases the amount of points that a good player can accrue for you.
on the other hand, its impossible for a player to lose points, so you want to pick a variety of players that will get a chance to play and hopefully win

i think it has something to with many players being worth more points than they should be
but because of that, choosing an antiteam is a lot easier

upmagic is going to be so awesome when everyone realizes how much raw talent and awesome he has.

He isn't?
When did he transfer and where to?
TL also says he's still on ACE.

ugh all of the Mid-level players are so expensive now T_T The 4 point and 3 points barely have any good buys now

sAviOr and 815 are my sleeper picks

Going from rank #807 in season 5 to rank #50 in season 6. I'm pretty confident in my team, we'll see how S7 will turn out.

I am quite surprised how nobody goes for Leta. True, he is quite expensive, but he proved that he is worth it in R3. Also, if you look trough hite's lineup you will see that Leta will be fielded for sure...

I'd like to note here if you are going to get someone who never plays on your anti-team (Tossgirl), it should be someone on a team you expect to lose a lot.
STX Soul might be too solid to rely on them losing, plus it would probably cancel out picking July on your main team.

1. click "Misc" tab
2. click "All Groups"
3. scroll down to the bottom, type your group name in the text field and hit the green add button

Yeah, it's too late. Sorry.
|
i'm confused about something... it says you get 1 point for lineup appearance... that suggests that if a player on your team plays a winners league game, regardless of whether they win or lose, you get a point. do they need to make an appearance AND win? if so that is a little bit confusing. i have Much and RuBy on my team and they have both appeared, although they lost their games, and i didn't receive any points.
|
+1 if he appears and -1 if he loses, thats why you didn't gain anything.
|
ohh that makes a lot of sense... thanks for the clarification!
|
So when is the trading window? Every time I look, it says "Trading is closed".
