ZerO is the go-to Zerg for the WStars right now.

You might want to try to pick a guy who gets to play a little, there are 1-pointers like that. or if not, try to get someone who sits in the bench of a team with high win ratio, they score you points even when they don't get to go out and play. =P

Well, last time I identified a pool of players that I thought were going to be cost-effective picks, but I think I did my team wrong. Two well-performing 5-point players will greatly outscore the 10-point players, but then there are people like luxury whom you feel are safe 5-point players that bomb on you. Buying someone like leta/jaedong/bisu at least guarantees you points, though it doesn't give you the most point-potential. The trick is to identify the 1, 2, and 3 point surprises, which is really difficult to do since none of us have a crystal ball except doubleupgradeobbies.

So I'm pretty much just going to pick players I like.

why oversky in anti?

A 6-point 0.500 player who only plays 2/3 of the matches? Sure you could do better if you hunt around, but who wants to do that? I think LR is either counting on mass psychology, or trying to encourage it for his own ends. Not sure which...

Oversky is leaving the army this season to retire. Its a bargain.

Huh. I thought word on the street was he was headed back to CJ, but maybe I missed something. Granted there would still be some downtime as he worked his way back to A-team, it makes me nervous anyway.

All this talk about Oversky for anti-team really seems to miss how outrageous HoGiL is at 7 points. I mean, 22-27 TLPD stats, plays for Hite... Seems like a slam dunk to me.

Team

BeSt Captain
(Z)

EffOrt

Luxury

Movie

Sea[Shield]
(Z)

ZerO
Woongjin Stars

Anti Team:
(Z)

GoRush

Modesty

OversKy

BeSt was good bargain (plays a lot games for SKT1) and if SKT1 keeps winning at least I will get some points out of it.

If (Z)

EffOrt keeps winning as he did last season, sure pick.

(Z)

Luxury so cheap. He wont be slumping that long.

(P)

Movie gets games as CJ lineup. Hopefully wins too.

(T)

Sea[Shield] won't slump anymore T_T

(Z)

ZerO should be back in business to score some wins.

Woongjin Stars I had to pick between Wemade Fox or Stars... Easy pick.

I believe now that Battle Royal is gone, zergs suffer a bit and thats why my anti-team more zerg biased.

Luxury is a gamble right now, but a player capable of what he is at 2 points is too good to pass up imo.

(Z)

OversKy on my anti team scares me though, I don't care what anybody says.

I was looking at the teams and I thought yours is the best I've seen so far.

...BUTT!
Then I noticed Oversky in anti. I don't know, he might not disappoint as much as people hope.

But then again, I have Flash on my Anti. Sounds stupid, but my reasoning is: he's going down. Let's hope he keeps sinking.

for those that put horang2 in anti should really rethink about it~.... horang2 is one protoss in hite thats being supported strongly so chances are he won't perform terrible in fifth round...
honestly what do you guys think jaedong or bisu? to be honest it doesn't seem like it matters but do you guys think jaedong will still dominate just as well without battle royal?

It is a bargain. Plus look at his matchlist from last season. Im not saying he is bad but he actually got most of his wins in zvz Battle Royal wich wont happen again. Also rotation is high in ACE.

From OP "Your Main Team must still follow the rule of having one of each race; however the Anti Team is not limited by this restriction so you can pick 3 Protoss players if you so wish."
