People have said a lot that WL-mode gives better chance to smaller teams. I strongly disagree. Bigger teams actually have more material to prepare very specific snipers for each match and possible situation. I expect bigger teams to get to use quite a lot of their less known players here and there, when the sniping goals require it.

Sigh. sHy and ZerO you were so good for me the first round but with your point values increasing my FPL team can no longer afford you. Best of luck! I will root for you out of loyalty.

Sin (BrAvO) is a good TvT player, Light is still a question mark but is possibly still a beast.

Light is no questionmark to me. I laughed when I saw he was worth so little points in FPL and took him as my ace. He's looked great in every game I've seen him, he just hasn't been given a lot of playing time.

Probably. Although EGTL, because of their team make-up sans Jaedong, have a lot of players that are used to playing winner's league formats and are better rounded players - less likely to be a single match up sniper, and have a chance for better longevity in the match picking up multiple wins.

Of course, since we haven't seen the KeSPA elite in this format with this game, maybe we'll be surprised.

Let's find out!

hoping for flying gets 2-3 kills lol hes so cheap

Flying is probably playing this round. KotH is often a matter of confidence and Flying is a competent player that went 0-4. I doubt he will be able to regain the edge this round. free should be played against zerg ahead of him.

CJ has Bbyong and sKyHigh... I would expect one of them to play, but not both, so I'm not sure BrAvO will see playtime because of it =(

Bbyong is the top terran on CJ and they follow a per match player system which could have him play quite a few match if the conditions are right. EffOrt will be played ahead of him but he should still be the 3rd wheel of CJ.
