Well he's not playing for awhile, but I could see him rising in value if he destroys code A. Just got together my dream team and we'll see what happens. Warcraft bias could be my downfall of course, but we'll see. He's qualified for Code A so he can't be too bad for one point :0 I suppose I could have found another one point player on IM or SlayerS for the same reason I listed as Cella, but I have faith.

I don't think he's worth a spot on your initial lineup since his team isn't playing till week 6 and he won't be getting you any points. Trade down for him later on. Also only GSTL performance should affect player values, not code A.

My Team ;D - GameOver ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Main Team
5  Alicia
Alicia one of the best protoss in the league and on SlayerS who will ofc go far
2  CoCa
Under rated zerg. Who has showed that he has what it takes to win, and only 2 points!
5  GanZi
in SlayerS, will be in until the end. Awesome Terran who will perform.
1 IMHappy
Heard good things about him, up first for IM in their first game showing they have confidence in him ;D
3 Keen
Has played well recently, great against protoss and only 3 points
8 LosirA (captain)
Was considering MKP Losira and Nestea for captain, in the end Prime wont be in until the end, Nestea is an ace which we may not see much of and the one left over is the beast Losira
2 TheStC
Very very good player one of the best before he left for the military im sure he will dominate if he plays
4 ThorZaIN
It's Thorzain... he wins...
6 SlayerS
Awesome team, good players, already won 2GSLs and will perform again
Anti Team
4 FruitDealer
Has not performed well since Season 1, also TSL will not do well in their current form
3 RainBOw
Also has not performed well since the early GSLs i cant think of the last game he won...
6 Trickster
6 points is massive considering how much he has been on the decline, only reason i put him in the anti team was because of the 6 point value
|
i'm having trouble picking a two pointer for my final roster slot. my options are
PuMa: reasonable results in team matches
The StC: really hyped, heard he's really good
Taeja: all killed ZeNex in May
Ace: heard hes a steal for that much
thoughts?

I probably wouldn't pick TheStC as oGs is a pretty huge team and he has some pretty fierce competition to even get to play.

Taeja will bring the team wins, but that's only one point a win if he isn't fielded. Ace will be fielded often, so he's your best bet.

I actually think TaeJa is better, and will probably be played as often as Ace. He's the perfect lead-off.

I finally took the gamble to put nestea on my anti-team. I've got losira in my regular team too, so i'm really gambling on his success. If teams get through to nestea I lose, but I don't think its going to happen.
Also have some oGs terrans who will never get to play in there, and makaprime who is following polt and marineking.

+ Show Spoiler +HyakupaMain Team5 Alicia- My only Toss bro  1 Jinro- For one point, Jinro is worth something :D (joke aside) I feel hes gonna come out of his slump soon and whip some nerd ass wearing shades XD 2 Junwi- This guy got potential, can see him becoming crazy being a Zerg on IM :o 2points such a steal 3 Keen- My MVP bro :D 4 Min- Ahhhh this guy is beast, Macro or bust a cheese, good to keep things mixed up :D 9 MMA (captain) - Ahhh my bro'est of bros, For 9 Points this is pretty insane but he makes a great Ace Player  4 NaDa- Nada nada, this guy is good...look at how far he gets in tournaments. You see anyone with a good record like Nada :o 2 Taeja- If I want to see an awesome ceremony after an All-Kill...my guy right here 6 SlayerS- Great overall team when it comes to Team Play, Cella and Boxer in the back giving advice to their players, Constantly communicating makes great results xD Anti Team3 Fenix- For 3 points, this guy gonna make me bank 4 Maka- 4 points for Maka :O free points~ 6 Trickster- How does this guy worth 6 points? Either way...he will be making me lots of points in my Anti

I was contemplating having Seed and Younghwa on my team but they're both on the same team and same race. Anyone know if they fulfill different roles or would this be redundant?
|
Ok so I finaly settled and made the last change to my team. My biggest doubts were about the high value players and the risk that, since they are in good teams, they wouldnt be needed in some weeks and thus wouldnt worth the "money". I decided that since the group A looks are harder in my eyes, both MMA and MC will have to play for their respective teams and even if its just one win per week it would be ok because other weeks they will win more ^^.
The other doubt in my mind was thestc...the guys is good but so are the other 1232435 terrans in ogs =/ and with their line up I thought that having him would be a gamble and opted for puzzle in his place after watching the ICCUP thing.
KobraKay
Main Team
2 Ace - will get more than a few starts and some wins
1 IMHappy - IM team points and has a few wins hidden in him too
3 Keen - Might be a gamble judgin from last team league but his code S status and nice games in individual leagues make me want to take this risk
9 MC - MC = WINS :D
4 Min - I needed a zerg and opted for a slayers one to get the team points. Besides Min plays and gets some wins right?
9 MMA (captain) - 2 time mvp. Hope he keeps is form from previous team leagues
2 Puzzle - impressed me in the iccup weekly. hope he plays as much as I'd like him to. If he does get a lot of starts he will win a few at least so its worth it
2 Taeja - Another slayers pick. Team points and some random starts here and there will hopefully pay for its value
4 MVP - well I dont feel they will top their group but will get top3 and points to come with it
Anti Team
3 Choya
4 FruitDealer
6 Trickster
The anti team..well in BW my anti always kills me lol...hope none of them turns into a SC2 Roro. I do believe that even if they do get to play they will lose badly <3

They are both sent out in the middle (possibly to snipe Ps), but I think YoungHwa is a lot better.

One big question guys:
Are you allowed to trade your chosen TEAM?
For example, if you have FXO as your team, and then when the 1st half of the season is almost over, you see they have almost no games left to play. Can you then trade for F.United?

Arsenal
+ Show Spoiler +ArsenalMain Team5 Alicia (captain) Best Protoss, by far, on SlayerS and will play in most matches for them. SlayerS will go far this time too and I don't think I'll ever want to replace Alicia, hence why he is captain. 2 Ace Though he hasn't performed all that well in Code A past seasons Ace is still a solid player and gets too play regularly for ST in the GSTL. Might get a lot of points first round if he gets to play vs FXO. Along the line i will likely replace him though. 8 DongRaeGu Though I don't necessarily think that MVP as a team will do great, this guy will definitely win A LOT of games. DRG is right up there with NesTea and LosirA as the best zergs in the world. The only reason he is not captain is because i doubt that his team will go as far this GSTL and so i might have to replace him. I hope I'm wrong and I may very well be... 4 GuMiho Great player, will get lots of playing time and win a lot of games, at least after the match vs IM. fOu is in the easier group and should advance to the playoffs behind IM and ST. 1 IMHappy Happy made it through the brutal Code A-qualifiers, seems like a genuinely good player from what I've seen him perform. Opening for IM so he might bring in some points first round, if not I might trade him if possible. Still he is a value-pick at 1 point. 5 July ST has a very easy schedule until fOu/IM in the last 2 rounds, hopefully July gets to play. If he does he will crush faces. (It's July guys, c'mon...) Otherwise I'll just have to trade him. 2 Taeja Might have a hard time finding playing time since SlayerS are such a big team with many great terrans, though Taeja had an all-kill last season and is worth only 2, so overall an easy pick. 3 Younghwa Easiest pick for me, most likely he will play tons of games for IM. Has already impressed a lot in previous GSTL's and is complete steal in my eyes at 3 pts. 6 StarTale Went for IM as my team first but decided to switch to ST. Their group is easy and they face IM until the last round, so I might just swith then. ST freed up som space for me on the players too which was nice. IM is stronger though and are my pick to win the whole thing, shocking right?  Anti Team4 HongUn Very uneven in his performances. Might get a few shots this TL but won't take them. Has looked pretty awful lately. 3 RainBOw Well, let's just say not much has happened since that final in the first Open Season. Strongly doubt he'll play against any of the stronger teams and maybe not at all, has not looked good in a long while. 6 Trickster Had to pick one player above 4 pts and it was hard. I actually like TricksteR/TesteR but to be honest he hasn't been on top of his game in a while so i chose him over Killer. Also 6 points is really very overprised for TesteR ATM. I chose between these two because I think TSL will have a very hard time in their group and all their matches will be pretty tough. SummaryAlicia I think will do extremely well, along with Yonghwa and DRG. They are the safe point-getters and will almost quarantee som points consistently. July will bring in points if he gets to play, and ST doesn't really have another great Zerg so i think he will. Taeja could also be clutch for SlayerS if he gets to play, GuMiho should also be pretty consistent and get a lot of games. Happy and Ace are a bit more gambles as picks but I'm sure they will do well if played. Hopefully I'll be able to change these two if they underperform/don't get any games... Still I will probably change my lineup anyway as the seasons progresses, we'll see. Can't wait for the TL to start, so exited! :D

Okay, now I'm quite happy with my team
Acro
Main Team
5 Alicia
Playing for sure first round, probably winning coz he's awesome like that
1 IMHappy
A steal for 1 point and good chance of winning his first game
3 Keen
Needed an MVP player and Keen will probably play
6 Leenock
I want his banelings to win me points
8 MarineKing
He'll be OptimusPrime any day, I believe!
3 Sheth
He'll play. Whether he'll win? Who knows, but he can't score negative points, so it's worth it
1 Tiger
Sorry for qxc, but koreans > him.
3 Younghwa (captain)
Most stable player on a team I expect will make the finals. For 3 points I also don't have too many points locked up in my captain's seat.
6 StarTale
ST has a super easy schedule until the last week. They will earn me a bajillion points and then I can switch them for IM
Anti Team
5 Lyn
4 NaNiwa
4 ThorZaIN
Taking the F.U. risk: figure at least Lyn is bad enough to not screw me over in any case and will have to pray I can trade Nani and TZain in weeks 4-6

You can trade your team, but the number of matches remaining is reflected in the cost. So if a team has no matches left, it's worthless.

Fenix for 3 is pretty awesome as an anti-team pick.
He is definately worse than thorzain (in all matchups except maybe TvZ... but even then that's a big maybe) and most likely worse than Lyn.
He won't get to play much and F.united will have a hard time winning matches.
One of the best anti-team picks.
