LET'S DO THIS
SlayerS Three-Peat
Main Team
5  Alicia (captain)
2  BoxeR
1 Brown
5 GanZi
4  Min
6 Ryung
2 Taeja
2 YuGiOh
6 SlayerS
Anti Team
1 Cella
3 Frozen
9 MMA
Thought I'd make it interesting, and picked the best team I could solely out of SlayerS players. It does mean I have less to worry about when choosing, which is great :D and if you're going to make a gimmick team, you might as well do it right.
Chose Alicia over Ryung for captain, Ryung has a worse record and if I recall correctly in an interview all the team said Alicia was their best player.
Picked Brown as the best of the SlayerS 1-pointers, to round out the team.
Chose MMA, because I do feel he's overvalued, and he's probably not going to be played a lot, only to finish games off.. so hopefully that minimizes the point reduction. Also because it gives an easy way to hit the 13 point requirement.
Picked Cella because he won't play :D or lose me any points and because Cella's awesome.
Frozen has the worst ELO according to TLPD, so a good pick relative to his point worth.

theres no way this will work out, mma is too beastly in team leagues for that anti pick to work very well

Yeah I had a team before with anti-picks who I thought would actually suck, but then I figured I may as well get 12/12 SlayerS instead of half-assing it :shrug:

Curious did very well in the iCCup Weekly, although his record is inflated due to Taeja not showing up.
*facepalm* I thought he had beaten TaeJa 4-0! Now I might have to switch him for Squirtle anyway.

Haha this is cool! I'm not 100% sure on a couple of my picks though!!
+ Show Spoiler +
Main Team
(P) Anypro 3 No idea why he was only worth 3 haha.
(Z) Cezanne 1 Showed some great ZvZ in code A and took a game off NesTea in super tournament
(P) Creator 1 He took a game off IMMvp. No brainer for 1 point.
(Z) July 5 I love July. Not sure how he'll be in the team league though.
(Z) Leenock 6 Leenock went insane last team league and crushed major face.
(Z) NesTea (Captain- DUH) 8 He's NesTea. He's THE player to have right now.
(T) Nuclear 1 A lot of players have been saying Nuclear has been a really good training partner, was really good, and he even just got into Code A. It's his turn to shine.
(T) TOP 5 I'm not 100% Sold on TOP. But he did knock nestea out.
Team: SlayerS 6 Slayers for 6? Is that a joke? No way I'm passing that up.
Anti Team
(P) HongUn- 4 2 base all in protoss.
(T) Lynn- 5 Never impressed me ever
(T) Maka- 4 I actually like Maka. I just don't think he'll be used..

IM + ZERG FANBOY
Feel like my team is a little top heavy but it's worth it. Got some serious killers on here.
Team:
Blizzard Fails At Game Design
Main Team
8 LosirA (captain) - Top 3 Zerg in world Easily.
8 NesTea (co-captain) - Top 3 Zerg, most acclaimed. Widely acclaimed as the best.
5 Alicia - Best protoss in world IMO. He has shown he has better control that MC and has a much more solid/safe style. It's only a matter of time before he starts winning titles. One of the few protoss to respect.
2 Ace - Under-rated but seriously deadly. Once he evolves his a game a bit more, (2 much forge FE Stargate play, could be top protoss.)
2 Junwi - VERY under-rated but if he gets past early game he's extremely solid. He has nestea and losira for guidance.
1 BBoongBBoong - filler
1 HuK - Code S protoss for 1 point? Steal of a pick.
1 Hyperdub - Under-rated, has potential. Will get playing time.
8 Incredible Miracle - Has the best zerg players in world. Seals it for me.
Anti Team
3 Choya - Cheesy all inner, no skill
3 Fenix - Sorry bro =\
7 sC - Over-rated cheesy all inner.
|
Gay Lords
Main Team
1 Golden - Guy looks underrated, 1 point, needed someone from slayers
1 HuK Cominh fresh off DH, kind of a steal for just 1 point. He's gonna do well.
8 MarineKing (captain) My favourite player, couldn't not pick him! Marineking fighting!
8 NesTea The most solid zerg, I believe in him.
8 Polt Kinda risking here, but guy has really been showing impressive results.
2 TheStC A steal. Guy is really skilled but can't practice enough, I chose a heavy hitter lineup and needed someone for 2 points like this.
1 Tiger Needed someone from ST, their toss lineup sucks, so they will probably end up playing tiger. Who knows?
3 Twilight Looks solid for 3 points, also in case fxo wins anything hes gonna be their ace anyway.
4 Prime Wanted ogs but was short 1 point, it'll do.
Anti Team
5 GanZi Too expensive for how bad he is.
3 RainBOw Sorry 
5 San Again, too expensive.
|
My team actually looked A LOT like that but I decided to spread it out just a little bit so I wouldn't only get points once every 3 weeks.
I'm not sure what I think about sC in the anti team.
He's kinda hot right now.

ST has ace and squirtle for protoss players, so idk why you said their toss lineup sucks >_<

mau5sports
Main Team
+ Show Spoiler +3 Anypro Solid Protoss and Top4 Prime player. I see him playing a lot and bringing in a decent number of wins. 2 Jjakji Hyped by the NsHs coach as their upcoming star player. For 2 points not really a loss if he doesn't live up to potential, but if he destroys it'll be great. 9 MMA (captain) MMA has been the king of the GSTL, and sometimes called the GSTL Bonjwa. Despite his disappointing performance in the Super Tournament Finals, I expect him to dominate in the GSTL. 7 sC sC is fOu's ace and a star player in an otherwise lackluster pool of players. I expect sC to play a lot and pick up a lot of wins. 3 SuperNoVa Great player, hyped by his teammates, and only 3 points. 2 Taeja Showed a flash of brilliance in his out-of-nowhere all-kill of ZeNEX in the last GSTL. For 2 points not a big loss if he doesn't pan out. 2 TheStC Made it to the final round of the Code A qualifiers despite only playing full-time for about a month now. Great talent and I expect oGs to rely on him a lot as he is considered a practice bonjwa and it will allow oGs players to focus on their GSL matches. 2 ViOlet Running low on points, kind of just picked whoever stood out with 2 points left. Exploding onto the scene and going from Code B->Code A->Code S in his first qualification attempt is a testament to his potential. Hopefully he will show a lot. 6 SlayerS Band-wagoning this one. 2 GSTL championships and a deep roster? Can't argue against that.
Anti Team
+ Show Spoiler +4 FruitDealer FD pretty much been the most disappointing player in the last few months. Long disconnected from his epic Open Season 1 victory where he showcased brilliant plays and decision-making, something that we haven't seen from him in a long time. I don't really expect him to get sent out a lot, and even if he is I don't really expect him to win. 8 MarineKing This is do or die for me. This will either be the biggest mistake or greatest call ever. MKP has the potential to dominate, and also to tank completely. His overall performance in GSTLs have been lackluster, with him getting his first GSTL wins in the last one. With Polt performing so well there maybe less pressure on MKP to perform, but I still see Prime going to MKP in the ace spot and it back-firing. 1 OpTiKzErO Just picked anyone for my last spot. Sorry OpTiKzErO :[

Anyway, the captain should be from a Team that makes it very far, as I can't trade him. An IM player is therefore an awesome choice, imo. 2 TheBest Seems to be in good shape lately and his all-in style might be used to snipe a macro player by the fOU team. 2 ViOlet Whoever wants to beat MVP has to think of a way to beat ViOlet. He will be playing. I will get points! 3 Virus I think for 3 points he is quite OK. 6 SlayerS I wasn't confident in picking a SlayerS Player, but the team itself is a good choice imo. Especially considering that you can't trade teams, better pick something solid! Anti Team3 Sage Who is this guy, and why is he worth 3points? 7 sC This was a tough choice, yet I think that he will be an easy target to snipe. 3 Sheth Sry, but I don't see him take on korean pros... other thoughts: MMA is highly overrated in my eyes. MC is overrated too I think. He is really losing a lot of games lately. HuK would be a great choice, yet I don't know if he will play a single game for oGs. NaDa would have been a great choice too, he could easily be the Ace of oGs, comparing his performances with MCs... Who will be Prime's Ace? MarineKing or Polt? Startale looks weak lately... Two of their more experienced players, July and Squirtle, don't seem to be very solid. MC recently won a major tournament and got 3rd at columbus...do you want him to win EVERYTHING? 
Which? all I know is:
He got beaten up early in the GSL, in the GSL ST, lost 1 of 2 matches in the last GSTL, would have been out vs Thorzain in the MLG if it wasn't for extended series, took a beating from Losira later on there, lost to Bomber in the Dreamhack...
I just feel like he is losing whenever he has to play vs a top korean player. (lately: DRG, Bomber, Polt, Alicia, Losira...) and his vT matchup really doesn't impress me, which makes him an easy snipetarget. So for me, no 9 more like an 8 or 7.

Stars war tournament...and nearly all of the players you mentioned are like the best vP players of their respective races.

The starswars tournament.
His loss vs Alicia is a PvP, still an odd matchup where anyone can win it seems
He lost 1-2 to Bomber, and barely lost the 3rd game
He lost to polt in GSL code s do to being super greedy for no reason, and that was like 2 months ago, polt is also 10-0 vs P
Losira is one of the, if not the, best ZvP in the world right now
He's still the most consistent PvP player atm and his PvT and PvZ are both top notch.
Everyone you listed is 8 or 9 points also except Alicia which I explained as PvP being PvP :D

I feel like I'm gonna be the only one taking Startale over SlayerS pretty much. I really like their chances against the teams that they play outside of the last week when they play IM, and I can always trade them for some other team playing that week if I don't like them in that matchup.
This week Startale has FXO while SlayerS has MVP. I feel like Startale should be able to get a better overall series score than SlayerS this week as long as they take FXO seriously.
Week 4 Startale plays Zenex while SlayerS plays TSL. I think TSL is quite a bit stronger than Zenex and Startale should again play a better series than SlayerS here.
Week 5 Startale plays HoSeo while SlayerS play Prime in week 6. Again, HoSeo should be easier than Prime after looking at their roster, but there could possibly be a few hidden gems in that roster that could make things closer than I expect.
Week 8 SlayerS plays Fox United while Week 9 Startale plays fOu. I feel like this could be a tough match for Startale, but if I am not feeling good about them at this point in the league I should have the ability to trade them for a solid team such as oGs if their value hasn't risen above Startales'. Fox United will have a lot of time to work on their play at this point so maybe they can show some good games against SlayerS, but that isn't anything I think about when deciding between SlayerS and Startale.
Week 9 SlayerS plays oGs while Week 10 Startale plays IM. Both these matchups should be difficult for these teams so I can't really let these series affect my thinking with how far away they are.
I know Startale is not as good as SlayerS, but most of the matchups really favor Startale more than I think SlayerS are favored in their respective matches.
And I kinda just want to be a super cool hipster nerd that picks Startale. =D

I picked ST also based on their side of the bracket, though they may be the same amount of points, SlayerS has to go through a super hard side of the bracket while ST only has IM as a powerhouse and ST beat IM before.

pick all the Z which will likely play, except maybe JookTo but OGS win should give him points
Ace and SC looks to be playing alot
and pick all the F.U as anti since they wont be playing till week 6
and betting MVP to win it all with DRG as the ace :D
Just Another QQ Z
Main Team
2 Ace
8 DongRaeGu (captain)
4 FruitDealer
1 JookTo
4 Line
4 Min
7 sC
2 ViOlet
4 MVP
Anti Team
3 Fenix
5 Lyn
5 Moon
|
Cognacs Awhirl
Main Team
2 Ace
4 Clide
8 DongRaeGu
1 HuK (captain)
1 Hyperdub
5 July
9 MMA
2 Taeja
4 Prime
Anti Team
4 FruitDealer
5 GanZi
4 NaNiwa
I've settled on this finally. Basically chose on who might realistically get sent out [HuK aside] and the fact that Terrans seem to proliferate/excel in the GSTL. That said, I'm most expectant of DRG this tournament based on his recent play. Also hoping for consistent points indirectly from MKP/Polt by choosing Prime without choosing them individually.
I hope Fruitdealer annihilates, but on off chance he doesn't, I'll settle with consistent failure -_-. Ganzi/Naniwa I chose for no reason other than points.
People have some very interesting choices so far o.O

sC on your anti team is pretty risky. Since it's GSTL a lot of race snipers come into play, while his TvZ is 50% his TvT is 70% so expect him to be the main vT sniper for FoU and played quite a bit
