+ Show Spoiler +TeletubbiesMain Team2  Ace - A good player for a very little cost. 8  DongRaeGu (captain) - I think best choice for a captain. In worse case scenario, he will get you 0 points if he loses, as he always plays in MVP matches, but if he wins, it's usually very rewarding as he's the last hope for his team most of the time and capable of reverse killing and ending streaks. Also if he doesn't play, you most likely get +1 for his team win  6 Leenock - Strong Zerg. Also I'm focusing fOu. Has high chance of participation. 2 Lucky - My fOu wildcard, I hope his name will bring me luck. 7  sC - Solid bunker rushing Zergs makes me love this guy, he's baller enough as well to pick IMMvP in code S, must be really good TvT. 3 Sheth - FXO will play 4 times in the first 4 weeks, I had to pick an FXO guy and Sheth is awesome. I hope he manages to get me some points. 2 TheBest - Despite people calling him bad and gimmicky, but his playstyle works in GSTL, plus, he's fOu. 2 Yoda - First week, I'm like 90% sure he will make an appearance due to being the newest IM qualified player to Code A, so they will want to give him some stage practice. If he doesn't show up, I'm hoping IM wins, but not against fOu. 4 For Our Utopia - fOu have relatively average games in the first few weeks, hope I can swap teams later on Anti Team5 Lyn - Not playing in first 5 weeks >_> 4 NaNiwa - Not playing in first 5 weeks >_> 4 ThorZaIN - Not playing in first 5 weeks >_>
I am kind of ashamed for choosing those players in my Anti-Team, it's more cheesy than going SCV marine all in on close positions metalopolis 
Also, an advice for others: Don't pick players that will be participating on international events, those players might not be available for their team during that week. For example, I highly doubt Zenio/Boxer/July/Squirtle will play in the GSTL in the week that follows/precedes NASL finals.

My new team after way more research and not being piss drunk, ended up having 3T 3Z and 2P, all of them are on different teams, my original composition had almost exclusively slayers and mvp players for obvious reasons.

Day 69
Main Team
2 Ace
undervalued at 2 points. Will likely get a few matches in for Startale.
5 Alicia
Slayers ace protoss. Will get a lot of action and he always wins a few matches.
8 DongRaeGu (captain)
He produces results, simple as that
5  GuineaPig
Definitely taking a risk with this guy at 5 points. But he's done awesome at team leagues. Since he's random, you can't snipe him
3 Keen
Will get a lot of action.
2 Noblesse
Only 2 points
5 San
The Ace for HoSeo, will get a lot of action
2 Taeja
great value. He won the slayers clash of the houses and all killed a team
4 MVP
Amazing value at 4 pts
Anti Team
3 Choya
4 FruitDealer
6 Leenock
Fruitdealers in a horrible slump and Fou usually gets killed in the team leagues
|
Ampson
Main Team
5 Alicia SlayerS most solid protoss player, will probably see action in all of their matches. Gets many kills in past GSTL's.
8 MarineKing (captain) Marineking is amazing. He will probably be Prime's ace every time, meaning many kill opportunities. Also, he is one of my favorites.
4 Min SlyerS most solid zerg. Pretty much same as alicia, but with zerg.
2 Qxc Qxc will probably see a ton of action with FXO, as he has been training hard. Recently narrowly lost to Dongraegu, which proves he can stand up to anyone.
3 RevivaL Revival is TSL's best zerg, and is coming off a RO16 finish at the Super tournament.
4 Squirtle This guy is a team league baller. Great protoss, and a steal at 4 points.
3 SuperNoVa Ogs's protoss sniper. I just hope that with the depth of ogs he will get used
3 Twilight I get the feeling that he will be FXO's go-to guy, so a lot of play time. I just hope he can beat top players.
4 Prime With marineking and the newly impressive polt (optimus?) Prime is looking more and more like contenders.
Anti Team
4 FruitDealer
4 HongUn
5 Lyn

SlayerS FIGHTING
Main Team
5 Alicia
9 Bomber
1 Brown
1 Fairy
1 Lots
9 MC
9 MMA (captain)
1 Special
0 FXOpen ESPORTS
Anti Team
4 FruitDealer
5 Lyn
4 NaNiwa
Loading up on a couple bombs, MC, MMA, Bomber, filling out the rest of the team with slayers scrubs to get a bunch of team points when they win. Could work out well, could blow up in my face. Could trade MC or Bomber later on if they aren't doing well in team league, kind of wishing I took MVP instead. Changed Anti-Team quite a bit, threw FD on there cuz Zlasher know what he's talking about, and apparently Lyn and Nani aren't playing the first 5 weeks :S:S might trade them later on.

I feel pretty good about my main team, but not sure about my antiteam. Never heard of DongRaeGu in the GSL before... is he pretty that good?
Any advice?
Edit: I'm thinking about switching Genius+ThorZaIn to MMA + someone who's 1 on FXO, good idea?

DRG is a ZvT sniper. The best ZvT sniper, if not the best sniper period. Get him off your anti team, he'll see a lot of play and get a lot of wins.

Also shown to be able to all kill. 3 Frozen - Exact same reasoning as above, cella and boxer usually rotates between alicia and him as to who to send out first. 1 HuK - AMAZING 1 point pick. Did we not just see him go undefeated to get to finals of dreamhack? oonly thing im worried about for him now is jet lag. 4 Min - Same reasoning as Alicia/frozen. Seems like he's their ace zerg player. 9 MMA (captain) - Captain, obviously expecting him to show up in every slayers game as their ace player/tvt sniper 3 Seed Almost always a guaranteed first send out for his team. I don't know about him scoring many points though, will have to see. 3 Sheth One of the allstars for new to gstl scene sheth. I really like his zvp/zvt 2 YuGiOh back up zerg for slayers, might as well keep the set right? awesome pick for 2 points over ryung/the rest of slayers 6 SlayerSDuh? see them going pretty far. Anti Team8 LosirA - Losira is in my opinion actually really good, but his team usually does pretty terribly. I can't see them doing too well against slayers round 1. 3 RainBOw Not doing so hot as of late. Will have to see though 2 TheBest Terrible, terrible player. I really don't like to badmouth him, but I've seen him play games in his PoV, his micro and macro are just not up to code a/b standards.

Daaamn you actually put a lot of thought into this. :lol
Good job, I'm sure you'll do well.

Not going to post full team (might change, 1-2 on my main team) but I'm probably one of the only people to put Nestea on my anti team. Why?
Well I love nestea and think he is amazing, but if you look at IMs draw they only really have ST as a difficult team and they don't seem to send nestea except for ace matches which I don't feel like they are going to reach many. Also let me pick 2 extremely low ranked players who aren't likely to play at all! *cough* ones a caster *cough*
|
I think I chose too many non-koreans, but thats part of the gamble ;p
I chose MC on my anti team because people might know his builds enough to snipe him, idk..

My strategy is to pick IM as a team right from the start, because you most probably wont be able to trade them, and i think they will win most matches. And as the point-system works, it seems that having the best team will have the most impact, especially if they rofl-stomp low teams.
I then tried to follow up with one really good player and the rest among 2-3. Mostly people that are undervalued and no 1 player, so i will be able to trade every single player at some point.
+ Show Spoiler +
I didn't pick some undervalued players like hero & huk just because they dont play the first week, so i will be able to get them later in the league. I will most probably get a few imba 1-players before they even play so they dont rise in cost too much.
Also, my team name will grant me great fortune!
Lee Seung Gi hwaiting!

Hmm I didn't see that F.united isn't playing until august in like 5 weeks, I messed up pretty bad, oh well. You can redo until signups are over 
Also they still play the same amount of games as the others so they will catch up. So if you want them you should pick them now. After 5 weeks you won't be able to buy them because the pointing system takes into account how many games they haven't played yet so Funited players will be costly as hell

Went for Korean power houses. Not sure why I picked FXO as my team. mainly cause I spent all my points and they were zero, but after seeing huk destroy Koreans in Dreamhack, it's possible FXo could cause some rifts over there!

The problem with picking nestea is it's not unlikely that he won't see too much action with Losira and MVP on the same team and fairly weak teams to compete with. I think sC, MKP or DRG are better options since they're great ace players in weaker teams with the chance to come in and save their team, ending streaks and likely playing more matches.
People seem to generally underestimate picking players that will actually play regularly instead of just picking good players because they're good. That's my take on the whole thing anyway, this is my first fantasy league though.

I hope my cheap Protosses (Creator AND HuK both only 1 point o_O?) get some playtime to own it up. Apart from that, I have been really impressed by Revival's play. SocceR I assume is the War3 player, so I have high hopes for him. The only downside of also including the beasts Naniwa & Thorzain is having 3 F-United members but ah well =) Bomber and NesTea for some guaranteed easy points and oGs as a team for not having oGsMC himself.
--edit
So apparently F.United isn't playing for a long time. Great we were able to pick them nevertheless lol -_-. Oh well I'll just stick with this...

It's because the first division is so much tougher than the 2nd. Obviously MVP is a better team than fOu for example, even though they cost as many points, but fOu play weaker teams. If you think MVP is undervalued in comparison to Slayers or oGs though then there's not much to say about it.
