Fantasy GSTL Season One
June 20th, 2011 04:52 GMT
Fantasy league. The greatest thing to be born out of professional competition, and possibly even greater than the actual competition itself. Though Starcraft 2 has been out for nearly a year, sadly there has not been a league to which the fantasy formula could be applied.
Now, with the advent of GSTL, all of the couch confined commanders and theorycraft trained tacticians have a battlefield on which they may show their worth. In the past there have always been ways to prove your passion as a fan; now there's a way to prove your intelligence as one. Can you assemble the greatest inaugural GSTL Fantasy team? Sign up now!
How to Play
- You choose 8 pro-gamers and 1 pro-team that you think are good. They will score you points when they win.
- You pick 3 players that you think are bad. They will lose you points when they win.
- Players and teams can be traded between weeks for those valued less than them.
- The fantasy owner with the most points at the end of the season will be declared the champion. The winner will receive an awesome special icon.
Fantasy Proleague Rules
Team Selection + Show Spoiler +Main Team Selection To start, each Fantasy GSTL participant is given a total of 36 points* with which they may purchase players. With these points, a main team of eight pro-gamers (of which one is your team captain) and one pro-game team must be selected. The captain of your team is the same as a regular player with the exception that they cannot be traded.
The pro-gamers and pro-game teams have been assigned point values based on a variety of factors, including past GSTL performances, number of past GSTL appearances, performances in individual competitions, estimated likeliness to compete in the upcoming GSTL, etc. When pro-gamers and pro-game teams win games in the GSTL, the Fantasy owners who have purchased these players earn points. Detailed scoring rules are listed below.
*These points are only used for team selection. The points used for scoring are separate.
Anti Team Selection Each Fantasy GSTL participant is also given 13 points with which to assemble an “anti-team.” Three pro-gamers must be selected to be on the anti-team. The anti-team is identical to the regular team in all respects, except points scored by the anti-team count AGAINST the owner.
Scoring + Show Spoiler +Player Scoring: Lineup Appearance: +1 Point* Game Win: +2 Points per win Game Loss: -1 Point 2-Game Streak Break: +1 Point** 3-Game Streak Break: +2 Points** Your Player's Team Wins: +1 Point***
Tie-breaks are decided by the team captain's score.
*Point given just for appearing in a match, regardless of win or loss. Only counts once, i.e. if MC goes 4-0, he still only gets 1 appearance point. **Given when a pro-gamer defeats a pro-gamer on the opposing team who is on a two or three game winning streak. 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.
Team Scoring: 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 2-4 Defeat: 0 Points 1-4 Defeat: -1 Points 0-4 Defeat: -2 Points
Miscellaneous Trade Tax: -1
Trading + Show Spoiler +Trading Rules- Between each week of games, you may trade players (swap a player for someone you don't have)
- Player and team values will increase or decrease every week, depending on their performances.
- Every player has a trade value, and you can only trade for players of lower value (higher value for anti-team)
- You are limited to a maximum 2 Main Team and 1 Anti Team trades per week
- Trades do not carry over from week to week if unused
- Your team captain cannot be traded
- Each time you trade, you will be assessed a -1 point trade tax
Basic Trading Strategy- Check the schedules each week! You'll want to know what teams are playing (and thus, which players are likely to appear)
- 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.

How the hell is TheStc so undervalued?!?
|
putting guemchi as an anti player...worst decision ever.
|
So little points oO Also, with the anti team, if someone on your chosen anti team LOSES a match, does that count as a point FOR you, or does it still count as against? i.e. are the values earned/lost reversed for the anti team?
|
Woot! My first GSTL fantasy sign up :D
|
Can't put Zero as my captain D:. He's always been my captain... So now I need to pick someone else to never change as my captain... Well then, Polt, you better be consistent :D. Edit: FGSTL is a mouthful haha, my FGSTL team doesn't roll off the tongue like my FPL team. Also, time to check and see the teams performing later on in the season and put their players on my anti, like F.United

F**k
Yes

You guys are amazing ♥

Ohhhh hell yea!!!! So excited for this!!!!

So does an anti team appearance scores 1 or -1 ?
|
I think TL Staff worked out prices very smart...To take 1 expensive 9-8 player the rest have to be low.
Pick wisely ^_^

Pretty confident in my team. I think Prime is still going to use MarineKing as their ace, so Polt, who doesn't have a match-up teams can just snipe, will be doing some work. I also have to pick him after I hyped him up so much.
Also Hero at 1? Freaking steal. He's going to be their secondary toss behind MC, and they were already throwing him out last tournament. Now he's made it into Code A finally by beating DongRaeGu.
Also MVP and Prime at 4 are great team picks.

Some players have trade values that don't match their cost. Is that normal before the round starts? I always thought they were supposed to be the same.
|
Haha "need one of each race on main team" =)

I wanted to pick DRG so bad... but I have a bad feeling.
Hope this goes better than my BW efforts. At least I can't make the mistake of blind faith in BaBy every single time.

Fruitdealer Guineapig seem to be easy anti-team picks :x
Inca is amazing PvP, I may regret putting him on my anti lol.
DRG sure got REALLY boosted from his LG 3D tournament performance wow :x Not sure if he should be 8, maybe 6 or 7
|
+ Show Spoiler [team] +
I'm almost certainly not going to do well, because I don't know the players super super well. Went with Losira as my captain because he's a boss. Had to add the foreigners, because I'm hopeful that ThorZain will kick as much ass in the GSTL as he did in the TSL. Oh, and I picked BoxeR because he's the emperor. You can't not pick the emperor.
Why isn't there a F. United tlpd page?
|
I should've read the entire thing before picking my team lol. Didn't realize we could trade as we go so I didn't check the schedule. Like half my team doesn't play the first week.
Kurr
Main Team 1 Cezanne 4 Genius 5 July 9 MC (captain) 6 Ryung 3 SuperNoVa 2 TheBest 2 ViOlet 4 Prime
Anti Team 4 FruitDealer 4 Maka 5 Zenio
Some wild picks I know, but all the guys I really wanted are worth too much lol (except ViOlet, surprised he was only worth 2). Cezanne impressed me vs Nestea so I think he's a huge bargain. I'm not too sold on TheBest and SuperNoVa but I think they can get it done.
I picked Prime as an upset because they haven't done well in team leagues in the past.
|
The player values are strange, some of the cheap players seem like remarkably good picks, also I put Guineapig on my main team and believe those of you antiteaming him will come to regret it.

I believe the system weights the matches remaining so you can't trade 5's for 5's when some don't play. Your 5 becomes a 5.1 or 4.9 depending on factors.

A note on the player point values
It's not based on how good we at TL think they are.
They were given values based on a lot of factors, one of which is what we think their perceived value is to the majority of fantasy owners. We don't want there to be "no-brainer" picks, at least not to a LARGE group of people (you might think someone is an easy pick at X points, but that might not be a common opinion). Basically we want to make it so there's some degree of variety of player choice.

How is huk 1 point and qxc 2 points then? Is it because ogs is such a big team?

I don't think the boxer pick is too good of a pick, I thought he doesnt participate in the team leagues? And rather lets the rest of the team get experience in playing?(though of course I suppose he should still be an option to select).

How many players are there in FU? I could only find 4^^ I will be cheering for them anyway.

It's a combination of factors. In this case. QXC was given two points because he's one of the best players on FXO, and we think he's likely to play in most of their matches (and thus is more likely to score points). For Huk, we're not sure how often he will play given oGs' team depth.
I'm going to stop answering questions on our player point values though, it's giving away too many hints
|
On the roster page, the player links take you to the BW pages for the players, not the SC2 ones which is kind of annoying.
Also, I'm certain that I didn't pick MarineKing as my captain because I selected MMA instead but it's possible that I just somehow accidentally scrolled my mouse wheel in that field and didn't notice it on the confirmation screen which I of course didn't check. Hopefully he'll do well this season!

Named my team "Con's cons" and it was trimmed to "Con". (not a problem, just so you know)

+ Show Spoiler +
Curious is my secret weapon, as he has consistently been #1-2 zerg for the last month. Guineapig as a random cannot be sniped by someone like MMA TvZ, or MKP TvT. Hero knocked out DRG. Min needs to win for his uncle. (lol <3) Ganzi is just amazing and trained really well as a zerg sniper for slayers last GSTL. Gumiho and Monster are both pretty cheap but solid.

Guys get oGsHero, he is such a steal at 1 point, beat DRG recently for qualify for code a.

ALLEYCAT BLUES49507 Posts
you can change your picks as many times as possible before the start of the season.

thankyou so much for this!! have been waiting for something like the old one to come out :D
|
TSL getting a ridiculous amount of hate in the anti-teams, including my own.
|
So how do anti-teams work? Do you get opposite points (-2 if the player wins, +1 if he loses, etc.)?

I obviously have the whole "foreigner fighting" thing going here + MC + Bomber lolol. I figure that these players should get quite a lot of appearances (maybe not so much HuK and Jinro, but they're badass nonetheless). oGs seems to be getting better and was already quite solid imo.
I'm gonna try to not trade :D

You realize that you went 5 over on the anti-team right? And I really would like you to explain having Alicia and MMA on your anti-team.

Make sure you don't have a good ace player in your anti-team. Fucking Horang2 killed me this season.

Main Team 5 Alicia + Show Spoiler +Slayers clan picks are high value, since their team performs quite well which can give +1 points just for each round. Alicia is their best protoss and many maps favor protoss's as well. He should see plenty of play time and get a decent win rate. 3 Keen + Show Spoiler + for 3 points he is too high value of a pick for just 3 points, nuf said 4 NaNiwa + Show Spoiler +Difficult to pick, might be an emotional pick, since the coach may not want to put out the foreigners often, but Naniwa just has a great style of play for the GSTL in my opinion 6 Ryung (captain) + Show Spoiler + Same with Alicia, high value for his team name, and has shown strong results when gameplanning situations 3 Seed + Show Spoiler +He is IM's protoss sniper for sure, extremely great value given his performance last few GSTL's, and he plays for IM so should garner points there as well 4 Squirtle + Show Spoiler + Doesn't get enough credit for his team, which usually puts him out so he gets play time, and is a strong player who gets put out often, since he's nto the best on his team, but a great starter 2 ViOlet + Show Spoiler +He's a great player, 2 points is too high value, and he's on a good team 3 Virus + Show Spoiler + strong 3 point player as well. 6 SlayerS + Show Spoiler +IM costs too much, but Slayers is about right, and fair value, its either them or MVP for best team to pick for value
Anti Team 4 FruitDealer + Show Spoiler +Dude..FD is terrible, I called him losing to Thorzain in TSL, He's shown zero performances since his GSL win which was open season 1 and really proves nothing a year later. For 4 points he's instant anti 5 GuineaPig + Show Spoiler + I got to have a 5 pointer in anti team, and guineapig is an average player at best. Pretty easy anti team pick 4 InCa + Show Spoiler + He's always been completely all-in against Terrans, and a PvP bonjwa. His PvZ is absolutely god awful, but I would never expect to see him string more than 1 win at a time in GSTL, if he's even picked to snipe a protoss. For 4 points, he rounds out the team.
All my explanations in spoiler tags, read them if you so choose.
|
This sounds like so much fun. Going to give it a shot!
edit: removed team. This whole thing is going to make the games even more intense to watch. I love it.
|
Since FXO only plays first five weeks and FU only plays last five weeks, this could be a serious problem for the anti-team. Especially since you can't actually get points from the anti-team, so you would completely minimize loss just by trading at the midpoint mark.
|
HOLY SHIT I LOVE YOU TL <3
|
How do people feel about GuineaPig? I worry, because he is a random player so I feel he will be outmatched in long games, but he can take short wins.
I think he has to be the biggest risk/reward player out there.
|
this is so cool, just pick my team :D
|
For those of you who picked Naniwa OR Thorzain, why did you pick one over the other?
Really curious since I was struggling with this decision. I know the two of them will probably play great this year, but when I had to pick of a Bo1 player, Naniwa just felt safer to me. Kinda doubting leaving Thorzain off my team though...
|
I put horang2 on my anti team in FPL. Lets hope InCa is going to do worse or im going to get -87 again.
|
i think GPs a solid pick but i dont like his name so boooo

I see a lot of people picking GuineaPig, either in their main team or their anti-team. I personally picked him in my main team because his results in the GSTL so far, if my memory serves me correctly, have been rather well.
A really low amount of points though, it took me quite a while before I managed to get it down enough so submit my team, and that's only because soccer is 1 point.
+ Show Spoiler + Most of my picks are players I like to see, the exceptions being Polt (also my captain, I may not like him much but he seems to be damn good, and really consistent after I read up a bit on his results and winrates. I did not know this before the super tournament, to be honest.)
I think a team made of Lyn, Moon, Thorzain, Naniwa and Soccer can do really well, I can see them taking many matches, to be honest. Was it also confirmed they'd get another foreigner? I'm not sure, but I think I read that somewhere.
Line I picked mainly because I didn't have a ZENEX player. Looked good in the super tournament, though. We'll see!

Pro tip: Stick clear of the F.United guys.
They don't play for the first six weeks, so if you pick them you're basically getting 0 points for six weeks.

Idra's not in Korea, so he's not part of GSL.

EDIT: Removed team and discussion, only just saw rules change. Sorry!

I thought you usually get +1 if your anti loses? Otherwise there's no incentive to pick anyone who usually plays and everyone would just pick players who would never appear.
|
This was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make...
|
Oh sick.....I'm signing up now..This is going to be awesome.
|
Since the anti-team never gives you positive points, the FU players should all be worth 0 right now, since they don't play during the first five weeks.

I´m definatly trying this 
Captain Nestea will do it for me.

I feel like this is an overall solid team. I think that polt should be thrown around alot and MVP is always solid. Soccer looks promising from code a qualifiers and ace performs pretty well in the team league. Huk is an animal <3, and ofcourse, puzzle has been hyped for a while as zenex's best player. I feel like curious is a decent zerg for being 4 points and Ganzi is thrown around alot too. I chose fruit and tester as my anti team because they usually underperform and i chose sheth because i honestly dont expect much from him in korea.

If you don't get points for players losing on your anti-team, then all you would have to do is fill your team with F.United players for the first half of the season. Then, when they start playing, trade all your F.United players for FXO players. You would suffer no loss at all.

That's exactly it - -. If you can only get 0 or negative points for setting up an anti, might as well just put a bunch of players you know will never appear.

I have a feeling that he will be the key player in the FXO roster, him and Sheth 3 Sheth+ Show Spoiler + Sheth is one of my favorite players so had to have him in the roster, he will also play a key role in FXO's preformance in this GSTL. Want to see some All-kills now Sheth! 3 SuperNoVa+ Show Spoiler + Supernova is rly rly good, I feel that he lacks confidence in his play. He does not believe in himself and I think that he needs to overcome that in order to fully burst as a player and rly wrecking up the GSL Scene 4 ThorZaIN+ Show Spoiler + Foreigner Biased but also Thorzain is one of the best players when he plays at his max level. It's just a question if he can play at that level and with the Korean training routine I think he will 4 Prime+ Show Spoiler + Top 4 in the super tournament had 2 Prime players. Terran are doing awesome in the GSL so I think with Polt and Marineking, the prime team will do great in this GSTL. I have high hopes in the prime team. They also have HongUn and he's a rly good sniper player as he can do some funky 2 base pushes that are made to snipe the top players, same goes for AnyPro. Anti Team7 aLive+ Show Spoiler + I feel that he's a bite overrated and I dont rly like him at all so just picked him cause I think that he will do poorly from now on 4 Curious+ Show Spoiler + No real reason why I took Curious but just a feeling that he will do bad  6 Ryung+ Show Spoiler + He got a good TvT but lacks skill in TvP and TvZ, I think that he's a good terran sniper but can easily get stomped by other races. Also his TvT is not the absolute best, prob the most overrated SlayerS player!
First time doing this so will see how it goes! Rly pumped for this GSTL in general :D

The problem with F.united to FXO trades is that you don't know how the trade values will be affected.
It specifically says trade values depend on remaining games... so FXO players will have 0 trade value when they have no games left... which means you can't trade them for anyone.
In other words, it is actually terrible to pick up FXO players entirely. After week 5 you can't trade them anymore.
I doubt you can get away with picking up f.united for the first 5 weeks and then trading to FXO for the anti-picks. The trade value system will make it so that it will be impossible. I certainly won't test it, but good luck to those that do.
|
Is there any indication of how trade values will change on a weekly basis? How much emphasis games remaining will have? Anything like that?

Soccer at 1 point may be a bit too good. He's already on a small team so he's likely to see a lot of play. Almost everyone else on a small team is worth 2+ points. That's not even considering that he's now in Code A and is looking pretty good.
|
Oh my god.
I've already spent like half an hour deciding on my team based off of potential and performance. This is hard as hell.
I'm pumped.

I'm a bit confused how this system works (sorry, I feel a bit slow)
I'm used to fantasy football but how does it work here with not every team playing that week?
so... take this week for example: (1st week) Week One - June 23-24 Slayers vs MVP FXO vs Startale IM vs fOu
you assemble your fantasy team with using only those teams? and then trade them off for players that play in week 2 and so forth? and then for the anti-team, just chose players that won't play that week?

"Need one of each race on main team!"
What's the reason for that? T______T

wow that was way harder making a team then I thought it would be, I'm already regretting my main pick because I think some more mid point players would of been better. Is there no editing it now that it's submitted even though GSTL hasn't started?

btw: Is this the "old" style of the games with all-kill and such things or more like the first pro league rounds with 1on1s and possibly ACE?

Small question, is it like football fantasy teams where the captain scores double points and cannot be traded? Or is he only a guy that cannot be traded with no other bonus?

haha, would be hilarious if a one point guy who most poeople choose as anti, goes on to ace 2 teams rofl! :D
would have like negative 40 points :D

This is actually going to make me follow the games on a regular basis now =D Too bad I don't know how well the players on my team have performed lately =\
|
Looks good, nice work guys.
|
I'm assuming that this team league will be a winner stays on format like SWL and previous GSTLs? Can I get a confirmation on this, because if it is "new players each map" format then it changes the way you pick your teams drastically.

Hey where's flash! :p.

So.. do you get points when an anti team member loses?
|
Is there a way to access your team without going through this thread?
|
great....teamliquid is going to suck up my time even more
|
On June 20 2011 16:32 travis wrote: So.. do you get points when an anti team member loses?
dont think so. I think they just make us lose points =(
some tips when choosing:
1. think about lineup appearance! Nestea is fking great but he rarely shows up!
2. Think about your main team Team and also the players of a specific team. You can choose all IM members and make bank if they go to the finals, but you will screw yourself if they get eliminated early!
3. Try to max out on your points.
|
|
It's really hard to pick only 36 points worth of players and still have a good team. You just can't have 2 powerhouses and still a reasonnable lineup
|
Fantasy leagues.....one of the best inventions ever to be produced by the internet =)
|
awesome this will be so fun :D
|
*edit* sorry, deleted after mod note about copy/pasting team.
|
Wait. You don't get points if your team wins?
|
Some questions that remain to me: (and sorry if it may be obvious from other fantasy-leagues, i did not participate in those)
1. Like travis asked:
You said a player on the anti-team is the exact opposite of a player on my team, does that have all the implications that come along with it, i.e. if he loses i get +points? Or if his team wins i get -points ? Or do is simply aim for players that are not likely to appear? Why risk him winning when the chances of him playing are simply next to none?
2. Trading:
I can trade betweens weeks, but only for a player who is a point below the player i want to get rid of. Is it common in bw-fantasy league to use all my trades per week for players that participate? I mean its awesome to be able to change alot, but due to the points-deterioration my team will get "worse" (on paper) each week. Just how much do individual value of players change?
If we take a bomber (9), who wins his first 2 matches, does that make him a (10/11) in the next week? Is there a ceiling for individual player points?
Sorry if these are dumb questions...i'm just trying to figure out which way to go :X

I guess you can but thats not a full roster meaning that you have less opportunities to score. There isn`t a guarantee that those guys will even go out so you could end up not getting any points but still having the stronger lineup

Interestingly, Huk cost 1 point but I don't know if he'll play.

So wait, can't I just choose anti-team people that we will probably never see?

Im confused so a lot of people are saying that you dont have to get a full roster is this true? Because I`m having a hard time getting MMA plus anybody over 4 points to get a full roster

yeah if you had two 9 pointers that leaves 18 points across 7, so at best 4x3 and 3x2

Yeah, I really don't understand what the motivation to pick a player who is likely to appear is. Is it impossible to gain points with the antiteam, since the point lost from the appearance are counteracted by the point gained from them losing? Thus you should just pick a player who will never appear (Cella, for example) right?

"Every player has a trade value, and you can only trade for players of lower value"

Anti-Team Team Scoring question:
If I put 2 TSL players in my Anti-Team, everytime TSL loses a match I get 2 points?
|
Some of the players points value don't make any sense, especially DongRaeGu. How come he is worth 8 points even though he hasn't even played in any GSL at all, and he failed to qualify for code A last week, so he also won't be playing in the next one? So if doesn't play at all , then how can he win any games, and earn points for your team. Just wondering since he is the highest point value zerg available?

No seriously, thanks. This makes it so much more interesting, and now I might actually be forced to grind through endless GSTL posts just to see how my players are doing and watch them rise to the bonjwas they are destined to be.
BTW FXO for 0 points ? I take the risk ! Bring it on korea !

Got my team all set and ready!

Polt is my anti team captain

Thank you, been waiting for SC2 fantasy draft for a while now!
Chose Boxer even though I'm not expecting him to play GSTL, dedication.
Not sure if choosing Polt on the anti team was such a good idea.... At least I could afford to add Wolf in it thanks to that! :D
|
If you have multiple players on a team and that team wins a match, do you get a point for each player you have from that team? Sorry if this has been asked before in the thread.

Oh god why is DonRaeGu worth 8 points (rhetorical question). I thought he'd be a safe low-pointer.

I'm sorry if this has been asked already. I did a few searches through the thread and did not find the question asked.
Are point adjustments based on players' performances in the GSTL only, or are points adjusted for players' performances in other tournaments as well?
|
Wait so if a player appears you get +1, then if he loses you get -1 which basically means if a player loses it's a net 0 points?

Kiiiind of true, but still I think there's no better pick for 1 point.

Mmhh i guess i just found a new time consuming pointless activity to add to my schedule. Gogogo FGSTL !

As someone who is a very hardcore fantasy league player, here are my suggestions on improving it:
- Get rid of abusive loopholes, in this case not all teams are playing each week. So people will just put players from these teams on the anti-team. My suggestion is if a player's team is not playing for that week they get -2. So this forces players to bring in anti-team players who are palying that week, rather than looking for players who are not playing. (cause i would bring in a premium 9 point player into my antiteam every week, when that team hasn't got a match, and fill the other 2 spots with two low value unknown players that I know will never play.).
- Current captain serves no purpose, why can't they be traded out?? My suggestion is captain gets double points, can be traded out, and be interchangable. This makes captain useful and an important choice. Also it will help seperate players as well.
- There are so many players, where most wont even play a match. This means that apperance points should be more than 1, it should reward players who are are selected. Because selected players are rare, and having these players in your team should be rewarded. For example if oGs doesnt play this week and I trade out MC for MMA, then that is a -1 reduction. Then MMA is called up but loses. This means the net result is a zero, all that effort for a zero even though MMA is good enough to be selected to play?? Skilled people know how to trade properly, and it should be rewarded. My suggestion is 4 points per win, 2 points per appearance.
- Maybe have a bench. Like 8 players and 2 on bench. It will help during the weeks where a team doesnt play.
Basically I want skilled fantasy players to be rewarded, right now its good but I think the league could be better with improvements.

I put MC on my anti team.
BECAUSE I HAVE BALLS OF IRON.

|
Hmm...something needs to be done about the fact that you can ensure your anti-team gives you at most -3 points every week by simply trading them out for players not playing and taking the trade loss.
|
Im confused. Ca someone tell me how i can view my team after i created it?
|
I don''t get the points after each name, can someone explain these to me?
Also, can't you just have your anti team be people who don't play until later and then switch them? I.E. F.united for the first 5 and FXO for the last 5?
|
This could be a lot of fun! Thanks@ all TL crew for building this!
|
From the weaker teams I tried to include the player most likely to win a game, because they are cheap and likely to be sent out and win unless it's 0-4 which should be rare.
Puma, qxc and Tassadar are huge bargains in that sense.
IM is on the weak side of the bracket (not against Slayers, MVP or oGs) so are completely worth the price as those are the only teams I see them losing to.
+ Show Spoiler +
Anti-teams should be locked (no trading) to avoid all of the mentioned abuses.

My team is done. Only thing is I can't decide whether to have DongRaeGu or MKP... Decisions, decisions...

My team's probably not the best, but it does have NaDa. <3
+ Show Spoiler [Team!] +Main Team5 Alicia1 HuK5 July4 NaDa (captain) 2 PuMa2 Qxc7 sC4 ThorZaIN6 SlayerSAnti Team4 InCa4 Maka5 ZenioAlicia should be good for $5, and his name strikes fear in his enemies. HuK is a steal at $1, he'll get oGs win points and the season's kinda long, they might send him out. If he wins one game, he'll have paid for himself. July is awesome. NaDa is awesomer. Puma sucks but whatever, he's cheap. qxc's gonna get a lot of games, he'll win some of them surely. sC's a solid pick who's going to get a lot of games and win a lot of them. ThorZain will also get a lot of games, probably? Hopefully? SlayerS will win the GSTL, so picking them is a good plan. :p I feel a lot less confident about my anti-team. I hope InCa doesn't see much play time, but his PvP sniper role could screw me over (but hey, I have Horang on my FPL's anti, and that worked well!) Maka won't get many games, won't win many. Sorry Maka.  Zenio won't get many games, won't win many. Overall, feels like a good team. But it's hard to know how it'll go until things get started. Don't have too many aces, which might be bad in WL format, though.
Edit: Aw hell, this is the wrong thread. Sorry.

I hope InCa doesn't see much play time, but his PvP sniper role could screw me over (but hey, I have Horang on my FPL's anti, and that worked well!) Maka won't get many games, won't win many. Sorry Maka.  Zenio won't get many games, won't win many. Overall, feels like a good team. But it's hard to know how it'll go until things get started. Don't have too many aces, which might be bad in WL format, though. Edit: Aw hell, this is the wrong thread. Sorry. 
" hope InCa doesn't see much play time, but his PvP sniper role could screw me over (but hey, I have Horang on my FPL's anti, and that worked well!)"...? Horang2 is a beast this season are you being sarcastic or do you just not check your standing.

Damn, thanks for setting this up. Will make team league a lot of fun. ^^

I'm very very confident in my TeamThrone :p I'm really surprised how cheap Huk Stc and Hero is. I had Bomber but I didn't think he was worth the cost on a team with such depth and could just not play and their team would win.
qxc looks like on of if not the strongest player on foxo I didn't see sheth I'm also heart wrenched how I couldn't fit in thorzain and I think that inca's gona get some good points as a pvp sniper but I just couldn't fit him in either

I think i have team should do well in the forthcoming gtsl. I picked Soccer because i had gone over points and i am a Warcraft III fan and he was a great player. Drg in my opinion is a great pick at 8 points. Only foreigner is QXC, he is the only member of Fxo i can see winning throughout Gtsl. Originally i meant to have Tgun and slog in my anti team however i did not have enough points.

A lot of my teams success will depend on how well MVP does. DRG is the man and Violet/Team MVP seemed like good values. The rest of my picks were based around trying to get in players I felt would see a lot of playtime. Like I need more of an excuse to root for Thorzain.

Anti Team 4 Byun 4 GuMiho 5 Killer
DongRaeGu will hopefully play a lot not being in Code A/S, and Sheth as the star player of FXO. There were quite a few good players with a 2 rating but I went with viOlet and BoxeR in the end. TSL were the lowest rated team I believe can win the tournament.
Shame I couldn't just put MC and MMA in there too lol.

My team ended up being all Protoss and Terran except for Sheth.
|
Is this only for the upcoming gstl or does this apply to all the next ones?
|
I don't know many of the korean players..... So my team is mainly going to be foreigners I guess....
|
I think Naniwa and Thorzain are solid picks. Cheap and almost guaranteed to take games off some Koreans.

i made a team, and i plan on not checking it until the end of the season. hopefully i win.

Trading is generally very important in these types of leagues. You can get some good pick-ups half way through the season that can make a big difference.

I wish dongraegu didn't do so well recently then I could pick him up for around 3 points. I've known about him for a little while and had him picked to be a very solid up and comer but I think he's too much of a risk to pickup right now especially with him failing to make code a.

awesome picture haha.. love the puppets

I'm so uncomfortable with my choices. I felt it was really restricted by the points. which is the point. This is such a good and fun idea. This and liquibet has me so interested in all the results.

My team will feature yet another captain named Dong. :S

fuck this is only gstl? why are ppl like jinro, who won't even play in the list of players? :/

I went for a mid-point lineup because I have no idea how to make an efficient team lol.

a cup of nestea will be my capitan !

Just one question: if I pick my anti-team players from for example F.United, they won't play in the first 5 weeks and won't score me negative points for those 5 weeks. Is that correct?

How will wins from players like Thorzain wins be recored, because mousesports does not compete in gstl?

+ Show Spoiler + KneeDeep in NerdSkullsMain Team2 Ace -Solid results for 2 pts, may swap him out after ST plays against FXO. 1 HuK -Watching him slay dreamhack atm, for 1 pt I think ogs will bring him in and easily pay for the 1 pt. 5 July -May end up being the most used player for ST and definitely someone who'll deliver. 3 Keen -Same with July, I think this guy may get some of the most playtime for his team. Very solid imo too. 4 NaNiwa -Had to pick between Nani & Thorzain, I chose NaNiwa, because I think he is better than Thor at killing terran which may be of more use in Korea. Wouldn't be suprized to see teams throw terrans at NaNiwa for the slaughter. 8 NesTea (captain) -Personal hero. May not get the same playtime as Losira, but will likely never lose ever.  6 Ryung -Total beast. TvT sniper, I really think voting for him pays off well. 3 Sheth -FXO's best player imo. Will likely play the most and is also a sick ZvP sniper. 4 MVP Solid & only 4 points. I think IM will take it all, but for the pts, MVP is solid. Anti Team7 aLive -Had to vote aLive for the pts to vote for the following: 4 FruitDealer -Will likely play a lot for his team, which given his results, isn't a good thing =/ 2 Qxc -Same as FruitDealer, not playing well at all atm and will likely play a lot.
I feel pretty good about my team .

Cutie Mark Crusaders
Main Team 2 Ace - I think Ace at 2 points is an absolute bargain 3 Anypro - He'll take games, no doubt. Probably not a big points scorer, but he's bound to come out ahead 4 Clide - CLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE! 9 MMA (captain) - Probably my big hitter. Guaranteed to win at least 1 TvT a series I think. 4 NaNiwa - If he sees game time, I'm sure he'll win games. Especially against some of those "lesser" teams 3 Sheth - He's probably the best player on FXO in my opinion. If anyone's taking wins for them, Sheth will. 3 SuperNoVa - A strong player for only 3 points, bargain! 4 ThorZaIN - Similar to Naniwa, I'm sure he'll get the wins to take this place. 4 MVP - A big "upset" last GSTL for doing so well, they have a great lineup, at only half the points value of IM, easily the best bargain there.
Anti Team 4 Curious - I really don't rate him, and doubt he'll play too often. 5 Lyn - He's fine, but I reckon 1 win maximum per series. 4 Squirtle - Hasn't done well since that first team league, I reckon he'll bomb out, if he even plays many games.

You missed his point. It is better to be at the minimum rather than go over. QXC will probably play some games. Which leaves chances for him to win. He has room to pick a lower value player who will most likely never play a game and have no risk for wins.

Does this mean we can get SC2 team icons for the bottom corner of our posts like they have for BW? Please?!? That would be way cool.

Don't think I picked the best team now that I think of it lol, was really debating dropping MMA for DRG or something along those lines.
The only thing I'm pretty sure of is that's it's not a good idea to put any F.UN players on the anti-team since it's pretty much 5 players, unless they continuously get swept.

First off, man these points felt a little low. I was iffy on fruitdealer, as I really felt after his win he became a shadow of his former self and his risks were simply finger crosses rather than using something to secure them such as his mutas. But seeing his recent play it seems hes back to form even if he didnt get the results he should have, he showed incredible games. Choya while cheesy I feel has some of the most calculated cheese out there, and is the type that can be put in to crack great players and get a couple if not a few wins.
The rest I feel have the potential at any time to just go nuts if they get into a place of confidence.
Antiteam? Just people I feel are overall meh, although moon was a hardpick because i feel hes on an upswing and starting to really come together, but i feel like the faults that still remain in his play can be his undoing at any moment.

Main Team 8 DongRaeGu 1 J 4 Min 9 MMA (captain) 1 Ready 3 SuperNoVa 2 TheStC 3 Younghwa 5 Old GenerationS
Anti Team 4 FruitDealer 5 GuineaPig 4 InCa
I think it's oGs's turn to win gstl, so i went ahead and picked mostly players from them, and the other two favorites slayers and IM. MMA as captain, i think he'll continue to do well. Supernova was an easy pick for 3 points, as well as StC who i think is going to be one of those 'do great in team leagues then fail to qualify for gsl' type players. Then for 1 pointers oGs J (for knocking out GanZi) and a shot in the dark with IM Ready.
Anti team is pretty straightforward. Furitdealer hasnt performed since early gsl days, Guinea pig has shown flashes of good play but i dont think hell be winning much, and Inca who i see being sent out to win some pvps then immediately losing afterwards.

If Inca is only sent out for PvP and he wins that matchup, you are guaranteed at minimum +2 points every time. Putting him on your anti-team is somewhat questionable.

Why is everybody's captain a high value player like mma or mc?
Wouldn't it make more sense to make a lesser player your captain, since the ace players are more valuable for trading? Or is there something I'm missing...?

Because the format is stupid. Having a player as captain is more detrimental than anything. There should be some added benefit to being captain to justify the risk of not being able to trade. Yes, I do see the thing about tie-breaks, but that's hardly a worthy incentive.

The way the points work Inca would get +1 for an appearance, +2 for winning a PvP (which, if the coach has any brains, is the only matchup he'll get sent out for), and -1 for losing the next game. So overall you'd get +2, and that assumes he loses the second match (his PvZ is terrible but his PvT is decent). A good anti-team should have players who specialize in no matchups and are used rarely.

^^Why would you put NaNiwa and ThorZaIN as your Anti Team? Even if they will be new, i am very sure that both are extremely solid players, especially NaNiwa.

You pick 3 players that you think are bad FXO makes a good addition for this!

well. Its b07 like the winner leagues, yes. I don't really think that huk has that many chances. Ogs has Hero, top, Mc, NaDa, Inca, zenio.... so many option. Even tho I think huk has a small chance if ogs decide to use him in the 1st round like they do with Hero. We'll have to wait and see =)

Huk lives in the oGs team house, but I don't know if he'll play. As far as I know he was available to play in the other team leagues and didn't. At best I think he'll get used as a Zerg sniper, but with his terrible PvP there are players with equal or better vZ who are less likely to get sniped in the next game. Also he isn't actually on the oGs team which means he's less likely to get picked too.
If I was the oGs coach, and there was a Zerg I needed taken, and it was too early to send in MC, out I'd much rather send in Zenio or Nada than Huk. If you send out Huk and he beats the Zerg the other team can send out a protoss or just a better player than Huk. If they send out a Protoss you'll probably need to send out Inca and you don't really want to risk sending in MC after another protoss in case the opponent has been practicing to snipe protoss.

Instead of spamming you could have researched. According to liquipedia it's a bo7 winner league format but maps are not predefined like in bw and the guy that comes in can choose it. And huk will be in Korea but I don't think he has a good chance to play.

+ Show Spoiler +
already made some changes since I posted just one page back.
Alicia to captain, in case I need Nestea's point value later for trades. still a solid player in the event I get into a tiebreaker, but not locking in 1/4 the value of my team this time. Ace in over thebestfOu, because that was just stupid to begin with. Traded down from MC to MKP, because I wanted to switch my team choice to oGs over MVP... not entirely happy with this decision, because I'm not sure if he'll play ace over polt and if he doesn't, I'm losing a LOT of my points. Might go back and change that one AGAIN, just have to make up my mind on who would be the better choice for my second big name after nestea. Also traded MVP_Keen for oGsSuperNova on a whim, but I'm about to go switch that back. I wasn't considering that supernova competes for playtime with theStc, TOP, hyperdub and Nada. If I downgrade on the MKP trade, this is where I will dump my points.
|
I have 2 questions:
1. When it says you have to trade for players of lesser value in the OP, does it actually mean EQUAL or lesser value?
2. I take it we can't trade teams part way through?
|
Really guys, how hard is it to read the Mod Notes?
|
Every player has a trade value, and you can only trade for players of lower value (higher value for anti-team)
Does this mean you can't trade 1 point players? Like I would choose HuK but it seems he doesn't play so I can change him for Hero? Or when you have a 1 point player, you are stuck with him?
|
This sounds fun! Just sign my team up. When does this start? Thursday?

Here's my team btw + Show Spoiler + The only thing I may consider changing is Sheth but let's see how he performs.
|
I just can't help when it comes to picking teams to get my favorite players. I doubt i'll accrue very many points but damn, I gotta pick the ones I love.
|
Here is my team, and some explanation as to why I chose each one.
+ Show Spoiler +Team PurpleMain Team8 DongRaeGuHe's done great in the GSTL previously, so I found him to be an obvious choice. 5 GuineaPigAs a random, GuineaPig is great. He has done fairly good in the previous GSTL, so I have high expectations for him. 9 MMA (captain) I think MMA is pretty self-explanatory. He may have messed up in the GSL: ST finals, but he is still a solid player. He'd better be worth those 9 points! 2 QxcQxc, although not performing at his best recently, had a fairly good run in the GSL qualifiers. To be able to hold against DRG for a while has got to take some skill. 3 Sheth Sheth, although not the greatest, is still quite good. Second place in his group at NASL was definitely a challenging feat, yet he pulled it off. Plus, I love Sheth  4 ThorZaINMany Koreans have said that ThorZaIN is one of the best foreigners, and that he has one of the best chances in the GSL as a foreigner. I agree with them. 3 TwilightOK, this one was sort of a toss in - I had 3 points left and I wanted to pick someone who I knew was decent. I thought, may as well go with the Korean on FXO. 1 HuKHuK. This may seem like a sort of odd choice, as he is not officially a part of oGs so there may not seem like much of a chance for him to be played. But, HuK has been ripping it up, recently, and I think that there is actually a fairly good chance of him being played. Plus, I'm a fanboy  GO CANADA! 1 [tlpd#teams##sc2-korean]F.United[/tlpd] The main reason I am choosing this team is for ThorZaIN and Naniwa. I am truly a fan of foreigners, and these two players are quite strong. Moon, too, has been quite powerful, recently, at least against foreigners. Lyn, although not the strongest player, has been able to hold on to his Code S status, so I think that this team could do well. Anti Team4 FruitDealer4 InCa5 SanI don't really have a whole lot of reasoning behind choosing these players. I haven't really thought of these players as bad, per say, but they are not great. InCa may have had a good run, recently, at GSL, but I don't think anybody thinks that he really deserved that spot. Otherwise, these players have been fairly mediocre, after FruitDealer's GSL Open Season 1 win.
As you can see, I may not have the strongest team, but I shouldn't do too bad, either, I think.

Sounds awesome! Can't wait to play!
|
Do you get points for Anti-team players appearance ?
|
Hey,
Will the winner of the fantasy league win a free TL t-shirt like the winners of the BW fantasy league?
|
Wait, what is the incentive to not pick 3 1 point players for your anti team? Likeliness that they do not appear? Because there's 1 point names I can guarantee will show up in the GSTL.

You HAVE to have your anti-team equal up to 13 points, otherwise it'd be too easy

Makes sense. (I didn't want to hit the submit button and then get screwed over by something silly like that.)

You can't get screwed that way. TL programmers are quite awesome (everything always works as you would hope it works) so it would just tell you that you have to have at least 13 points on Anti. And even if you submit a wrong team you can just change it until signups end.

It's way too easy to have an anti-team consisting of f.united and fxo, even though I dont want to

I think San is a very poor anti-team choice, He's probably the best player on NSH, so he's pretty likely to come out eventually in their games, and he's good enough to pull a match or two when he does come out.
I think based on frequency of appearance I'm taking tester out of my anti-team too. Just have to decide how to account for him points-wise.
|
For the anti-team, if a player gets +1 one week and then -1 the next week, does that equal a total of 0 points? Or is it -1 for your score since negatives don't count?
Also, in the question of carrying over negatives, if a player gets -6 in the first week, it means 0 points for your score right? But then does that mean there is a -6 pool for that anti-team player to pick up points that are negated, or are all points that player scores immediately negated from your score?
|
Just to make sure this does not factor in GSL results right?

nice, finally some serious sc2 team action - glad that you guys have the league up <3

I think that to make the most of your players you need to pick people who are likely to be sent out first, and are likely to play every week. I think oGs have performed badly so far in the GSTL but I refuse to believe that will continue. I mean they have almost all their players in either Code A or S!

Anyone notice there's a player called Slayers Drughead? lol

He was mentioned last GSTL when they were talking to MMA and Cella, they said they had a player on their team, who was a zerg player who mimic'd DongRaeGu's playstyle very well, he's liek mma's little brother or something? and he was essential to helping MMA defeat DRG, he went by the name drughead, and they called him DrugRaeGu when he would practice with MMA.

Signed up. This is going to be interesting since the unknown's seem to come out of no where during the GSTL.

Player Scoring: Your Player's Team Wins: +1 Point*** ***This counts for all players on the team's roster, even if they did not play in the match.
Does this mean that if I have 3 players on SlayerS, SlayerS wins their MU against another team, I get 3 points immediately?
Edit: Btw, these are gorgeous:

these look alright. make moar!

TEAM KNOCKOUT
Main Team 2 Ace Ace is awesome, underrated in Korea still after winning 2 uberevents! 5 Alicia Weird name, but cool playstyle! 1 HuK Easiest 1 in there, how can you NOT pick him? 5 Moon Coolest esport-player ever, god in wc3 and will soon be considered a god in sc2 as well, you will see! 4 NaDa He has an awesome nick and is very handsome. Kinda good as well. 8 NesTea (captain) How can you not want the smartest person ever want to lead your team? Obvious choise! 2 TheBest Coolest nick ever! Should be more than 2 points imo! 5 Zenio Owns the entire OGS-house in practice! 4 Prime Teams that put their tag after their names are awesome! And since i dont like fOu and their cheesy ace it had to be Prime!
Anti Team 2 MOoNan Weird nick. 8 Polt O V E R R A T E D 3 Seed Weird nick.
Grandpa Nestea will lead my team to glory. Polt was the weirdest +8 guy in there, he should quit SCII! At least he will give me points while hes doing it, oh well
|
Now I'm suddenly interested in SC2
|

Here's my team Clan WeRRa (what too soon?)
+ Show Spoiler +Clan WeRRaMain Team5 Alicia + Show Spoiler +I'll be honest, after looking at my team you'll see that I'm clearly a SlayerS fanboy. And let's be honest Alicia convincingly beat MC in the GSL Super Tournament, who is 9 points as opposed to Alicia who costs 5 (not that Alicia is necessarily better, but he's ridiculously talented). 2 CoCa+ Show Spoiler +A lot of my picks were from SlayerS, so I wanted to pick more players who are from Group B. I figure that CoCa is a pretty good player (especially for his point cost); I mean he's Code S, has proven to be a talented Zerg, costs 2 points, and compared to the rest of his team he's one of the best players. 4 Min+ Show Spoiler +SlayerS fanboy, Min is great, nuff salad, hold the croutons. 9 MMA (captain) + Show Spoiler +Pretty much the undisputed king of the last two GSTLs. Thought about taking DRG, but went with my favorite Korean player instead (second after ThorZaIN, but I didn't pick my main man T-ZaIN because his team isn't playing until August, so I figure I'll rearrange my team by then). Honestly all the players like MMA, MC, DRG, Nestea, Mvp, Polt, or MKP will do great in the GSTL, so I just decided to go with my personal favorite. 2 Qxc+ Show Spoiler +FXO is playing all their group stage matches (probably all their matches unless they miraculously make it into the playoffs) before August. I figure Qxc has a very high chance of getting played due to being a total baller (minus his NASL appearance, that was painful) and having read a description of what he put the recent crowd favorite DongRaeGu in the Code A Qualifiers I think that for a 2 point player he's a great choice. I figure that after FXO is done with the groups I'll try to trade him for SocceR, a player who I think might also get played a good amount and is cheap. 3 SuperNoVa+ Show Spoiler +I was surprised to see him so cheap, but I figure there's a good chance of him getting played (despite oGs having the biggest roster ever....) and all his Match-Ups are super solid. Plus he's fairly cheap, so why not. 2 ViOlet+ Show Spoiler +I do not understand why viOlet is so cheap. He's honestly got to be one of the best Zergs in Korea right now, playing for a great team (as opposed to teams like fOu who have great players like sC but lack the full roster to do as well in the GSTL). He's the best 2 point choice you can possibly get right now, so not picking him up would be stupid. 3 Younghwa+ Show Spoiler + IM is a great team and they're in Group B away from SlayerS. I figure I'll get some points just from IM winning even if Younghwa doesn't play, which he has a good chance of doing so.
6 SlayerS+ Show Spoiler +Anti Team5 GuineaPig5 Moon3 Sage+ Show Spoiler +Anti-Vote Explanations: Basically the reasoning behind these picks is that Moon isn't going to play until August, Sage's team is fairly unseen so we'll see if that turns out to hurt me, and GuineaPig is on MVP whom SlayerS is playing first round. I'm putting a lot of SlayerS, but they haven't really done anything less then win a lot in the past, let's just pray that first round they don't lose to MVP with GuineaPig 4-0ing them while they play Alicia, Min, and MMA. I figure later on I'm going to trade some players to get ThorZaIN (because while I'm a SlayerS fanboy, ThorZaIN is my favorite player (yeah I was one of the people who predicted him beating FruitDealer in TSL3  )

That's what everyone said before his finals against MMA. Look at how bad he thrashed him. Thing about Polt is he seems to be a strategical player (as one would expect from someone who went to the top university in Korea) and his strength lies in BO preparation much like Fantasy (BW).
Whereas MMA is more like a slug-fest type much like Boxer. Unfortunately he seems to be the Bisu of SC2 LOL.
So take it as you will. I think Polt will have a harder time preparing because it's team league and not a match. But he has displayed MKP-like micro at times so he has other strengths as well. MMA is always a solid pick for team league.
Edit: Nvm, found him.

Can you trade teams in fantasy? I put mine as slayers

This is truly awesome. im exited for this to play out. picking anit team was harder than my regular team surprisingly. underdogs anyone?

Yea my team is pretty unbeatable imo. Pretty awesome how some ballers in FXO only cost 1 points ! YEA !

The dude above me said he was overrated, I was asking him why. My opinion is Polt would be a good pick for GSTL, with the way his TvP is insane, hes proven his TvT is really amazing now, not sure how his TvZ is, but I imagine it is good aswell, beating LosirA twice recently although we know that LosirA is not that great in ZvT. Coupled with the fact that besides MKP there is not much talent on Prime, so it is likely he will play alot of their matches, which will probably determine whether or not they make it through.
He doesn't even need to be a good pick for the team, but picking Polt for anti-team does not sound like a good idea to me.

Damn, I messed up, didn't pick up Huk and TheStc O_O. I have July as my team captain lol. This will be my first fantasy league, so it will be experimental. GL HF all!!!

You can still change it before the season starts.

I'm confused by the anti-team concept. Is the goal just to pick players who will never be played? Seems like it would be more useful to have no appearance points and just minus points for wins and plus points for losses, considering its impossible to have a loss streak. Trying to guess which players we will never see seems much less interesting than predicting which players will lose horrendously.

I kind of agree actually, but it amounts to basically the same thing. But it would be more fun if you were rewarded for picking players that ended up failing miserably in the league instead of it being the same as players that never play.
On another note, does the season end after the 10 weeks of group play or are the playoffs included in the season as well? In that case I might have to switch out some of my players from the lesser teams that will never make the playoffs. It would also be nice to see how many points the different combinations of a Bo9 series yield.
By the way, there should most definitely be an all kill bonus. So badass.

This is going to be so fun!

hes on the bench and hes a playing coach and he played a game last GSTL no?
so yes you do get a point.

It's so interesting to design different team builds, and I am so curious how alternative teams would play out. Thus I was tempted for a moment to create a new account just to test another build simultaneously. But then I re-read the TL rules, and particularly the respect your ID part, and seems it would constitute violation. So I'm going to maintain the alt. build(s) in a spreadsheet for personal amusement, without submitting. Thanks a lot for organizing this, looks great!

I can't seem to find where to locate my team's status after I've signed up, could anyone please tell me? =D

Ok guys,
I never played a fantasy league before. And I wonder how much the points change during the season? If a 1 point player goes for a all kill. How much points will he gain? Same question for a player with 4 points?
Also, is it possible that players change value when they don't play?
|
Can you trade for players of equal value? If not, what would happen if some of your team stays at only 1pt throughout the GSTL, will they be stuck?
|
|
+ Show Spoiler + IMHappy seems like a nobrainer pick. 1. Talked up by his coach 2. Top 10 on the Korean ladder 3. On a dominating team 4. Only 1 point!
Anti-team is a little risky because noone is quite sure how foreigners will fare. I will probably change this before the final submission :/ Captain is also tricky because there are so many high point, similarly skilled players. I went for MKP because he is so generally consistent, and prime will probably do well now that polt is on a hot streak.

predictions moved to the predictions place

Why do all of you keep making the captain an 8 or 9 point player? Being a captain doesn't give that player any advantage... al it does it make it so that player can't be traded.
Wouldn't it be more logical to make one of your lower level 1 or 2 point players a captain... since you wouldn't be able to trade those players down the road anyways? Unless of course they improve...but then you probably want to keep them.

I did this and somehow ended up with a team full of Terran. I had to find a way of crowbarring in a protoss and a zerg. What the christ?

Have been lurking around TL awhile without an account, waiting for exams to be over before I get swept away. Saw this and saw that the closing day is tomorrow so had to make an account today, even though my last exam is next week. Going to have great fun with this and hopefully contribute to the community loads.

This is such a great idea, definitely gonna force me to start watching GSTL religiously again.

Main Team 2 Ace This guy is going to do quite well for himself, he is definitely better than a 2 so easy choice. 5 Alicia Going to be the best toss in the league soon 9 Bomber (captain) I really though about all the players ranked on the top and bomber just felt like the only one who deserves to be there. a lot of the other 9 and 8 guys seemed to be riding hype except MVP and Nestea 2 BoxeR I think we all expect good results from boxer and at the low price of 2 team points how could i say no to it  2 Ensnare You will probably be traded but maybe you can win a game in round one  1 HuK only one teampoint? seriously? picked him on my team before he even one dreamhack. HuK has earned his korean wings and will definitely be winning games, gonna hold on to him for awhile. I do hope that OGS actually chooses to play him. 5 July July is one of the most consistent zergs in korea gonna get a lot of points from him 4 Min Underrated since his other slayers teammmates are so good but definitely top 5 zerg in my mind 6 StarTale Startale is going all the way this year they have a deep roster and players who can play all the MU's
Anti Team 8 Polt seriously i know that he just one the GSl but im still not convinced he is overall a consistent player. He is probably going to get a lot of play time and a lot of game losses. 2 Qxc Qxc just keep doing what you did at NASL and you will look real good on my fantasy team 3 Sheth I am not sure his playstyle as zerg is going to cut it in korea
|
Are you allowed to trade teams?
|
You got NOTHING on me! :D
|
Can I trade two players with their combined points for one player?
Just to make sure, the only thing influencing trading value in each evaluation is GSTL performance or do you take into account other tournaments?

Just some thoughts about your team:
- Neither of TL's players have even walked out with oGs yet in a GSTL. Maybe this will change, but I doubt it.
- Almost all of your Main Team is in Group A (other then Happy that is), which means that you'll be getting almost no points from Group B.
- aLive is a really solid player on a team that doesn't have a lot of other great (TSL doesn't have nearly as many good players as teams like SlayerS or IM, so there's a higher chance of him getting played).
- Three of your players are on F.United, and since their first games aren't until August, your score will be exceedingly low till then.
- Also, since those players are relatively inexperienced in Korea, you don't know how well they will do in the setting and you've invested a quarter of your total points into them.
I'm new to Fantasy leagues though, so what do I know? Just some advice though, hope it helps.

So we should only pick people who are going to play in the first week or so? then trade for players later or what?

You guys are posting your teams in the wrong thread.

The captain cannot be traded After the season is over, in the case of a tie, the person with the highest scoring captain wins

Just to make sure, the only thing influencing trading value in each evaluation is GSTL performance or do you take into account other tournaments?
No
Only GSTL performance

Damn...the Fantasy GSTL signup banner is soooooooo cute.

So your strategy basically revolves around buying low, hoping a few players bump their value up and then trading them off? Good idea in theory but I don't think you're going to get the clarification you need to make it viable. Good luck.

Is there any way to make changes to your current team?

Even if those 2 players don't perform at all, which I find unlikely, then my other players/team will give me enough points to end somewhere in the upper middle.

Cheese :D
Main Team 5 July 3 Keen (captain) 3 Kyrix 4 NaNiwa 2 Qxc 6 Ryung 3 Sheth 2 Taeja 8 Incredible Miracle
Anti Team 5 San 2 TheBest 6 Trickster
Most players I picked are likely to be used in every four man rotation, either as an opening player, or as the one next to the ace. QXC and Sheth I just want to cheer for, plus they are cheap pointwise. No illusions of victory here though.
IM should be a good team...Nestea, Losira, MVP, and someone else? Yes!
Anti team...San seems to be slumping, and for five points, it should work. Trickster isn't worth six points in my opinion, and TheBest...read my team name. :D
|
No really, would it be possible to have the formula which calculates trade costs ? I just prefer to play a game knowing all the rules exactly rather than having to guess.

Where is JYP from TSL?
EDIT: Nvm, It's TSL.Smart, should have used TLPD first.

Fairly sure he would be worth 8 points, it's the same with every fantasy sport I've played. I'm also interested in the above questions 
and it says in the first post:
The trade price formula takes into account number of matches remaining -- so players with more matches remaining will have higher prices At week 5, when Naniwa (4) has played 0 games, what kind of price would he rise to?
|
I really think we should get points when our anti-team loses, right now it's more beneficial to choose players you don't think will get played over players you actually think are bad.

Yeah, will players that don't play gain points? That was one of my initial questions. Because it is also VERY important when picking your anti team.
But I got a pretty decent team going on right now. I am still doubting a bit over players that wont play in the first week, if it is worth it to swap them with players that play in the first week and then trade them between week 1 and 2.
|
I think I've made the perfect team. Next time you will see my name is with a giant trophy beside it. I'm a little nervous about picking STAugust though..
|
"You pick 3 players that you think are bad. They will lose you points when they win." should it be they will win you points when they lose?
|
omg I can't believe it starts tommorow, so looking forward to this. It makes the already exciting GSTL even more exciting.
My Team is gonna own you guys fo' realz.

The amount of games left for a player will be considered when calculating the players skill points, how much of an influence it will have I can't tell you though. I really wouldn't focus too much on trading, since it will always cost you 1 point and at least 1 skill-point, since you have to trade for a player of lesser value (or higher for anti).
|
Can you trade a player worth 1 point or are you stuck with it ?
|
So, you get a point if your anti-player loses?

Bah, I choosed boxer and now I realise he won't play.. T_T can't change now right?

but you lose a point if your player wins, so wouldn't you get a point if your anti-player loses?
You certainly ought to, or else you'd just pick randos that will never actually get play time

ah, but you get an antipoint for him getting play time... that seems like a silly system. I think you should be rewarded for picking players who will lose, not for picking players who will never play.

"Players and teams can be traded between weeks for those valued less than them."
So basically, having anyone of oGs this week is a waste of points if I can switch for them starting next week, right?
|
Correct me if I'm wrong on anything, please.
On June 23 2011 04:17 Archvil3 wrote: Can you trade a player worth 1 point or are you stuck with it ? When a player performs well, as well as other factors such as matches remaining, the trade value will increase. If a 1-pointer is performing well, you'll be able to trade the player for sure. Of course, if a player is losing a lot, your options will be limited, as you can only trade for players of lower value.

Picking players who will never play isn't easy.

So basically, having anyone of oGs this week is a waste of points if I can switch for them starting next week, right? Not exactly. Since the trade value formula includes matches remaining, players on teams who have played will drop in value. So if you get an oGs player now, the player's trade value will remain the same after the first week, while the players on the teams who have played will be affected negatively by having less matches remaining. I don't know how significant this factor is on the trade value, but it means that the player's potential to win points in a week is translated to some extent into points, which then again means that you can trade the player for someone who might be better, but has less points due to having fewer matches remaining. At least that's how I understood it.
EDIT: Also, trading tax should be considered too.

When will Thorzain and Naniwa arrive to Korea? Yes-yes, I know it's a long GSTL season, but if they will miss the half of it, I'd like to know, because it changes a lot of things, and I might reconsider my team selection.

San should not be on your anti team.. hes bound to participate in every single NSHoSeo game.. even as an ace his team is too bad to win the game before he gets in the field as a result he is pretty damn good main team material. same for Kyrix and Sheth

Didn't know Huk only cost 1 Captain is DRG other ace is Polt I picked these two as they have shown good skills against all matchups. After his strong code A qualifier showing I decided to put qxc in there as well. Overall I choose players likely to appear. Hero beat DRG to get into code A therefore he must be decent. However OGS is massive. My last pick was actually Sniper. No idea about him but he is on MVP which is also my chosen team to win GSTL!
Big Rocks
Main Team 8 DongRaeGu (captain) 5 GuineaPig 1 Hero 4 Min 8 Polt 2 Qxc 1 Sniper 3 Twilight 4 MVP
Anti Team 3 RainBOw 4 ThorZaIN 6 Trickster
|
Here are my picks, tho seeing some of your guys' teams makes me want to do a complete overhaul:
Eric's Elite
Main Team 5 Alicia (captain) 3 Frozen 5 GuineaPig 5 July 4 NaNiwa 3 Sheth 2 Taeja 4 ThorZaIN 5 Old GenerationS
Anti Team 4 FruitDealer 5 Lyn 8 Polt
Alicia is the Slayers player who often takes the most wins in the GSL, while MMA is the ace, so for 5 points I thought he seemed like a great pick. (And I didn't entirely understand the "Captain" bit XD. Whoops.
Frozen seems to get played a lot.
Guineapig started pretty much every series for MVP last time and took many games.
July is ST's best or second best player. He's gonna see a ton of play, and a lot of wins, even tho he is zerg.
For four points, ThorZain and Naniwa!? YES SIR!!! So happy they're priced so low.
Sheth is gonna win a game or two I think
Taeja seems alright.
OGS is getting a decent amount of depth added to it now, and I had an extra point left over so I chose theme over MVP basically.
Anti Team: Fruitdealer... He hasn't been performing well lately. Lyn is gonna see play and I don't think he's up to the challenge. I think polt isn't gonna be able to handle the GSTL, although he's a great player and now Prime is gonna be playing him every chance they get for the first little while untill they realize the difference between MMA and Polt in terms of GSTL vs GSL skill. Both are talented within their own fields and both are amazing players, but Polt must've practiced his ass off and MMA doesn't let shit phase him... I guess we'll see tho.
People I wish I had picked: HuK, didn't realize he was so cheap and I do believe in him. IMHappy, apparently seems like the favorite pick of so many here
Edit: Wow I clearly didn't understand the Anti-Team mechanics. Oh well, live and learn. So I don't get any points for players that see play and lose?

Dude, you can still change your team! Hurry up, you only have a few hours. Change your team by going back to the signup page. By submitting a new team, it replaces your old one.

Main Team 9 MC Captain 4 NaDa 1 HuK 1 Jinro 5 July 8 NesTea 1 TheWinD 3 Sheth 4 Prime Anti Team
4 InCa 5 San 4 Clide
PRIME!
Fruitdealer will always have my heart, so i picked him first. MC is just too good not to have, along with Nestea. Had to bring in the TL guys because i love TL <3. July, huk, jinro, NaDa, all cheap good picks. Sheth is a wild card, hopefully he brings some skill to korea.
Anti team, InCa is a PvP God...but anything else is just ludacris. San...Meh. Clide has no bonnie!
I think this teams not the best, Win/Loss wise, but i think they all have proven to perform well at ONE point in their careers...and the people on the anti team have proven NOT to perform well in clutch situations. That's what counts to me.

Did I miss the chance to make a team? I'm trying to figure out how to create one and add players
Oh, or do I create it here?
Team 1 - Creator 1 - Huk 8 - MarineKing 8 - Nestea (Captain) 4 - Naniwa 4 - Gumiho 1 - Jinro 3 - Virus
6 - Slayers
Anti-team 6 - Trickster 3 - Moonan 4 - Byun

Min dropped from 4 to 3.2 and he didn't even play!
Is this affected by the fact that it's the first match or will every match cause that kind of swing? I suppose with 5 matches in the regular season it does need a decent amount of movement.
Edit: Actually, it looks pretty straightforward. A player lost 1/5 of their trade value this match[1] and gained 5/9 of a point in trade value per point generated.
[1] Presumably it will always act on current value, and it'll probably be based on the number of games left (1/5, then 1/4, then 1/3 and so on ..). Too early to tell, though.

Because (match spoiler): + Show Spoiler + He gained 1 point for appearing, lost 1 point for losing the match, and then gained 1 point because his team won, for a total of +1. Since Anti-Team scoring is just the opposite of team scoring, he lost a point for you.

Is there going to be a change in the rules for trickster and fruitdealer? because i had trickster on my antiteam from the beginning, but assuming there isn't going to be some sort of forced trade, i want to pick up FD for my 2nd anti.

Trading going to open soon?
|
Whoops wrong thread. This is what happens when you have 3 different threads open.
|
why can I not trade guinea pig? I don't want to, but the fact that I can't is troubling. He is not my captain.
|
does trickster count in TSL roster or not :O? technically he should not since hes not in the team. The point rules are that you get a point if you win and you are in the roster but does that mean only bench players, or anyone in clan?

Ok Guinea Pig is untradeable?? is it a mistake since he is random and there is some bug that makes me have a random player in addition to having to have a protoss, terran, and zerg??

this is a pretty cool concept.. i need to start keeping tabs on gstl now :-/

Same here cannot trade Guinea Pig. Probably a bug with him being random since it seems like the drop menu is color coded by race. Please fix before trading closes! Thanks!! :D

Also I just saw that trading my team did not cost me the 1 point trading tax. Is it a bug or working as intended? Do you only get charged a tax for trading players but not for trading the team?
Did I just screw myself out of a free trade by pointing this out?

Losira is on my anti team and he lost. i was docked a point instead of given one? whats the deal?

+1 for playing -1 for losing +1 for his team winning ------ +1 total
Invert it for -1 on anti team.
|
GuineaPig still untradable
+ the trading values are soo unpredictable.
why the hell was it impossible for me to trade Tiger(2.47) for Puzzle(2.00). But i could trade Tiger for Choya(2.40). This seems kinda strange and/or buggy.
if the trading value would be displayed anywhere besides the drop down menu on the trading page it would be really helpful

Tiger only has 4 games left so his value is 2.47x4 = 9.88
Puzzle has 5 games left so his value is 2x5 = 10
So you can't trade Tiger for Puzzle. Choya also only has 4 games left, so Tiger can be traded for him.

where can i see my fantasy team?

I find it extremely strange and unintuitive that you're given -1 if a player on your anti-team just gets to play, so the best possible outcome you could hope for is a sum of zero. Just makes you want to pick players that will most likely never appear, and if they do, lose, instead of gambling on a player that appears often and loses often.

Agree'd there's only risk in picking players that actually play. If you pick'd QXC last week you got 0 points, if you picked ThorZain last week you got 0 points.

When I trade for someone, do I automatically all those player's points prior to the trade? So if I trade for Puma, I get his 8 total points and lose 1 for the trade?

Trickster still gave me -1 on my anti despite not appearing in the lineup =(

Trickster and Fruit Dealer were originally on my anti-team, why are they giving me minus points if they cannot be played?

Why does it say "trading closed"? :o

FruitDealer doesn't have a team though. This needs to be corrected :/

so you should be given free anti-team picks that are guaranteed to never score points no matter what while other people who didn't pick fruit dealer or tester has to take risks which is the entire point of having an anti-team to begin with?
Consider yourself lucky enough that you have a player on your anti team that has absolutely zero chance of getting sent out and score points against you.

That would be pretty stupid wouldn't it? When you trade you need to think what they will do, not what they have already done.

Man.. I need to get rid of qxc on my team now. FXO is definately a team with lot of potential but I feel like any longer and their values isnt worth it.

That's the point though. There's no GSTL this week, therefore, there's no reason that trading should be closed. Trading should only be closed while a TeamLeague week is in progress.

I don't get this system.
I have Sheth and QXC on my team, but they are worth 0.0, the stats say Sheth is 1.67 and QXC is 7.78. This means I can only trade Sheth or QXC for other FXO players, that aren't playing anymore this season either.

The stats are multiplied by the number of games each player has left. This is in order to keep people from fielding players only because they play alot of games early, and then trading them for players who play alot of games late. The reason FXL players are now worth 0 is because they have 0 games left. For the same reason, F.United players are amongst some of the more expensive players, because they have all of their games left.

So... If I keep QXC he might rise in value before next GSTL, if he is going back to Korea?
Still seams weird to me.

QXC has zero matches left this season, and will be untradeable from now on. Next season everything will start over from scratch, although I guess the players who have performed well will have different trade values than they started with this season and vice versa.

I don't think this poster understands that we re-pick teams for the second season - maybe he thinks that he trades his current roster for new players when season 2 starts?
|
I do understand that we repick. But I guess this is mainly a confusion because FXO played all thier games in the first few weeks. Never tried any fantasy team thing, its quite fun though. 
Thanks for the answers, I learned a few things.
|
edit: found the answer - when you have only one player of a certain race, the system only allows you to trade him for other players of that same race. How could I doubt TL!
|
Sigh...had Happy, MVP (traded cause he was starting), and Yonghwa, IM crashes and burns and almost all are useless in terms of trading...finally dumped SlayerS for F. United cause I don't think they're gonna win the 1 game they have left and F. U has their whole season left, hoping they can QXC surprise or something... traded Alicia for San cause NSHeoSeo seems to be doing fine, will get team win points even if he doesn't go out...was doing great the first couple weeks and then my half Slayers/IM team crashes and burns lol.

Now that IM can't proceed to the playoffs, can I not change my team captain (which is an IM member)?

I believe FGSTL ends at the end of the regular season, so you don't have to worry about the playoffs. And no, you can never trade your captain.
On another note, TSL is still playing the rest of their scheduled matches, right?

Can a mod fix my fantasy points?
I lost my W6 Startale points (for them beating IM) because the points are put into the wrong weeks. It says that we just played week 8, but we obviously just played week 7. I traded ST for F.United between weeks 6 and 7 (this week, after they played IM), but it thinks that I traded them before they played IM (since the ST points for IM are recorded under week 7).
Also all my points for this week (Thorzain, Soccer, and F.United) are under the week 8 column, they should be under the week 7 column.

Can a mod fix my fantasy points too please? I traded Bomber into my anti-team this week AFTER he played in the ST-IM match, but I get the -7 points he got from that match. That really hurts

This doesn't really bother me but it feels a little silly to me so I felt like pointing it out.
I'm still grouped in Terran users after few weeks of trading and ending up with 5x Protoss and 2x Terran players in my team, is this intentional?

Shouldn't we be able to trade away our IM players? Seems a little unfair that those who picked IM players basically just now have vancant spots they cant fill anymore.
And when i try and trade Puzzle it only lets me select Other Protoss players but other players i can still trade anyone is this intended?

You can't. The current season is still going on (or is it?).
Seeing there was a thread recently about the winner of the fantasy league, can we expect the start of a new season with new participants able to join?

Why trading is closed and there´s inc games tomorrow? Every team and player has no worth at all?

When is the signup window? I've been waiting since september to get in on this!

Do you guys know if there will be another fantasy GSTL? If there will, when?
thx in advance

Is their going to be a Fantasy GSTL Season 2? I just got my 1st liquibet for GSTL Season 1 of 2012, and really want GSTL again!!!
|
Anyone know what's up? Really wanna get in on this
|
GSTL fantasy pleaseeeeeeeeee
|
Bump!
Let's get a season 2 going cmonnnnnnnn
|
|
Who programmed this? Cause I'm really interested in how he did that. Would be amazing if somebody could give me a name ^^
|
First of all, I want to underline that I do think this Fatansy league was a very good idea. 
There is something about the engine of this game/league that I want to suggest.
If someone chooses a top player in the anti team and this player happens to be the most valuable, you will be forced to have him until the end of this league. You have no option whatsoever.
Wouldn't be fair to have the chance to adapt this? I can only change for a better player on the anti team, why not allow 2 changes and if someone wants to avoid the best player he will have 2 good players instead of the best player and 2 bad ones.
Why not allow point deduction?... or double trade and calculate the average of points instead of forcing only one change and 0 chance to change for someone lower.. The way it is makes this game boring.
I have chosen Bogus because I was unware of his skill/play, after watching him I am convinced that I was wrong, it happens we are all humans. Now if I want to change I have no option, how can this game be about understanding? This is more about luck than anything else... Can't you guys make this more about understanding the players and skill levels?
Allow (all)people to correct their bets. Its just a suggestion from a fan.
Best of luck!
|
Just wondering, is there going to be another fantasy GSTL for this upcoming 2013 season 1?
|
Obviously there is, though this thread's schedule is soooo off date :D
|
|
it says i have duplicate players when i clearly dont
|
the top scoring team for today is a 20-pointer with:
Squirtle +8 (3x2 win, 1 lineup, 1 team win) YoDa +3 (1x2 win, 1 lineup, 1 team win, -1 loss) Lucky (1x2 win, 1 lineup, -1 loss) Hurricane (1x2 win, 1 lineup, -1 loss) <IM player> (1 team win) <IM player> (1 team win) and IM as team. (+4 4-2)
|
why does it take so long to update?
|
If this thread isn't the place for this, who should I contact about point allotment?
Prime got a 4-0 which should be 8 points instead of the 6 I received.
Also when do trades become possible? I thought it would happen after the points have been updated but it is still closed.
|
Please update ;_; I want to be back in top 10.
|
I might take #1 spot with my captain Yoda getting 2 wins :D unless some sort of prophet chose Super as their captain
|
How can I take part in this fantasy management?
|
Takes so long to update. matches played 2-3 weeks ago still not updated. Makes one lose interest fast.
|
I would just like to complain and to hopefully be heard by some admin that while the FPL is updated regularly FGSTL has not been updated in a month. I really hope it gets fixed and at the end of the season for both we can see the standings, contrary to all history going away after the final round. I am going to post this in TL+ as well
|
Not sure what happened with this fantasy league......sucks it hasn't been kept up to date until the end.
|
Seems to be INnoVation is the only player for Axiom-Acer
|
where can i find my standings?
