You should get rid of Boxer IMO. He won't get more than 1 kill. He can't beat both thorzain and nani. And there's a damn good chance he won't even get the opportunity.

Stuck trying to decide whether to get nestea off my anti-team or not. I guess I've sat him there for too long. Probably time to just stop risking it. They will almost definitely need him now and I think they will finally use him.

I guess i'll trade him for tiger or something...

Seriously why are almost all of the trades greyed out when I try to trade gumiho? I fucking need soccer and I've only got 6 hours? It's not doing it for any other player.

He is the only Terran on your team, so you can only trade for another Terran... unless you trade one of your other players for a Terran.

Hm, anyone think that Slayers may give CoCa a chance to play tonight?

Should I trade Younghwa off with IM only having a game left? Not sure if he will play between MVP/Losira/Nestea. I'm between Younghwa -> Taeja or Boxer -> Taeja, already used my other trade on aLive -> Seal for this week.

Last minute oracle: Getting TeriousPrime on my team (with NalZa), and doing boxer for taeja.

I wasn't sure about between terious, monster and noblesse. Noblesse is the better all around player but he's lost a lot to polt and may or may not get to play against mkp depending on the order MVP send out players. Monster's ZvT is rumored to be almost as good as DRG, and I can definitely see Monster going out to snipe Polt and/or MKP. Terious is the wild card but he's shown good games in ICCup weeklies and won a recent TLOpen, defeating hack, was also the ace for prime vs slayers in this gstl. It's kind of a coin toss because they could just use bboongbboong instead. We'll have to see.

0 chance.

He won't be on their roster.

Team's are only allowed to change their roster at the midway point of the season.

CoCa is completely ineligible to play.

They seem to prefer Bboongbboong in ZvP whereas terious comes out in ZvT.

They've basically only brought out BB against protoss.

If tails wins, you better believe BB is coming out second. Of course the odds of that are ridiculously low. So yea, I guess I would lean towards terious as keen/noblesse are likely to come out.

I'm stuck right now trying to decide whether I should use thebest's and younghwa's high trade values

Struggled a bit over whether to go GuMiho -> Taeja or LosirA -> Taeja. On one hand, keeping GuMiho gives me a lot of trade flexibility going all the way into the final week, while LosirA's trade value is guaranteed to drop to zero after this week. On the other, IM has fielded LosirA as their third player in every match except against FXO, and we can expect them to take it seriously with the playoff spot on the line.

Tentatively I've gone with trading off LosirA, who's been slumping lately, but that's because I expect IM to send out Mvp or NesTea second (or at the very least, NesTea as their Zerg) to rack up as much of a point spread as they can. But given IM's player selections so far, who knows? I'm not willing to bet on it so heavily that I'll pick up Mvp or NesTea with one of my other slots.

Team-wise I've been screwed for a while now—I made the mistake of trading off TSL AND NSHoSeo before they really got going, because I thought they were overvalued after big wins. Now I'm stuck with SlayerS like all the other chumps.

I'm pretty sure LosirA will come second if Sage beats Happy. LosirA is baller good against protoss. Especially when he gets to pick a nice gigantic map like crevasse/taldarim.

And he may go on a nice run.

We haven't seen anything but soccer's bad PvP. But if that's any indication, Taeja will destroy soccer. In fact, I can see a Taeja all kill. Thorzain and Naniwa are the only two with a real chance against this guy and but I wouldn't put them as favorable against Taeja. Thorzain's got better chance than Naniwa cuz protoss just isn't doing well in the current meta game right now it seems. I might just go for the NalZa ->Taeja trade for this.I think if Slayers just keep throwing terrans out they'll win this no problem. Boxer/Ganzi/MMA all did better than Naniwa at MLG so yeah, one of them is gonna finish off F.United if Taeja doesn't do the job. The only thing is that soccer might have really good PvT though. He goes for some really greedy expo builds in PvP, which to me it means he must have incredible macro in his other match ups if he just insists expo'ing even in PvP. And F. United has to know that there's a 90% chance Slayers will use a terran to starter, i mean they got Min + Alicia + 8 terrans that's just expected, so hopefully they took that into account when picking Soccer to start.

MKP should beat tails, but who knows the way he's slomping. My money is on MVP needing DRG to close this one out in the end. Polt/Bongbong could take some serious wins.

God I really want Sage to beat Happy, but I'm really not sure about this one. Sage does a lot of tricky and awesome plays but sometimes it just bites him in the ass silly. ~_~. On the other hand Happy basically threw away his games vs puzzle in code A which is the only thing we've seen of his TvP. Maybe he's still terrible at that match up and Sage will take a easy head start for NS Hoseo. When IM bring out the big guns, Jjakji will come clean up for the big win

Heart comes up once in a while in the smaller tournaments but haven't shown too many results. Hard to say. Naniwa has really good PvT in foreigner tournaments but I feel like korea terrans is just on a whole different level especially in the current metagame. But heart is probably worse than clide and alive else he'd have gotten used in past team leagues more often right. I say Naniwa is still slightly favored if you think Heart is a grade under Clide/Alive. I think TSL should be smart enough to take out Naniwa with any of the non protoss of their team. Thorzain is gonna be F.United's life line in this, Revival/Smart/Sangho are no easy foes to defeat.

I wouldn't go with heart because TSL is probably thinking we already secured a spot for playoffs so let our no-name players play such as Heart and Ultimate, a good Zerg like Revival could easily beat Naniwa I feel. I expect Alive or Sangho to clean up after their losses. MKP never performs well at GSTL he will atleast be stopped by DRG if tails is taken out I think MVP wants/needs to rack up some points.

I think Sage will edge out happy in the first game (unless 1/1/1 comes to play, Sage has really poor unit control which is needed to beat 1/1/1) but then lose to Losira followed by Jjakji cleaning house with Losira then MVP coming out.

I think a Zerg would be the best bet of beating F.United. At least we agree on Taeja's chance of doing an all-kill.
