EPTReconsidering my Alicia for Puma trade, idk if Puma will be played for TSL/Slayers but if he is and wins alot, he may become out of reach and i'd rather sacrifice a week of Alicia points for having Puma the rest of the season, he's really good, TSL is small/lacks a really good ace, and Alicia may not get play other than being the protoss sniper; there's just too many good players.

Slayers  Lots vs TSL  RevivaLFXO  SLoG - fOu GuMihoST Sound - ZENEX ByunSo what do people think. Is it worth to trade Alicia for PuMa? I don't want to trade Squirtle because he plays a lot of ST. Alicia plays quite a lot too though so it's hard. Also is Hero > Lots a smart trade? They seem to be a lot cause but at least Lots is playing. | ||

EDIT: If FXO plays their best they can actually take this. Observe: SLoG vs GuMiho tgun vs GuMiho tgun vs Leenock qxc vs Leenock Oz vs Leenock Oz vs choya/TopClass/asd Oz vs sC | ||

I'm trying to decide between Soccer, Hero, Huk, or maybe Creator as to who could actually get played and get points. Help? Picking an unknown Z that gets sent out on Crevasse and ends up playing against FXOz (arguably their best player who was sent out against ST_Curious, and succeeded) can only be considered a poor trade decision.... However, I'm in the same boat as you since I traded Tiger for Shuttle because I thought sculp would lose game 1 and a terran user would get sent out next for NSH and beast it up (since according to their team the T users are the best players on it). I picked the wrong T user... Now I kinda want to trade shuttle away even though I think he's a pretty damn good T user. How well is that team going to do against ST and the unexpected results of ZeNeX? The only real option right now seems to be SlayerS_Lots. However he may be a player that was meant to snipe a strong TSL T user that gets sent out on Crossfire and only his TvT may be particularly good. But since TSL sent out Revival on such a Terran favored map they must have expected him to play ZvT... It seems like everything is going according to TSL's plans where SlayerS might be surprised that Lots doesn't have to play a TvT. Even though you have to say T has an advantage on Crossfire there must be an ace up Revival's sleeve. I'm seriously debating whether or not to put my hopes on Lots winning the match and getting a bump in trade value along with the possible 3 points. What do you guys think of trading Alicia for Puma and Happy for TaeJa? I figured TaeJa might get to go up against Revival, and Squirtle might be a greater asset for ST than Alicia for Slayers. I'm pretty torn, though, both Alicia and Squirtle are players I'd like to keep, but Puma is such an obvious ace on a team with very few players that I just have to have him. Damn, don't get Taeja this week man. Lots is leading for Slayers and playing a TvZ on crossfire against Revival. He'll probably win. And with MMA/Ganzi/Ryung to choose from for T users Taeja is unlikely to see play. Trade for him after unless you only want the 1 bench point for SlayerS winning. With that said trading for PuMa this week seems to be a bit early. If you didn't have him last week when he decimated Prime there isn't a big rush to get him for when he plays SlayerS. That team has always relied on sniping and good coaching decisions as well as the skill of the players. Nobody (aside from DRG) will ever see a 3-game streak against SlayerS because of this. Well... it's unlikely anyways. Trying to pick a player that SlayerS won't be able to deal with is pretty difficult. PuMa is probably one of the players most likely to streak against SlayerS but I really don't think he can. It's probably best to wait until week 6 to try and get him (if you think he'll be needed vs FUnited). Yeah, you're totally right, man, I came to my senses and undid my trades last night; it's a lot better to wait until TSL plays two weeks in a row later on, and having to throw in TaeJa just to have a Slayers player on my team obviously isn't a very smart way to do it. As of now I already have Smart, so I hope to see some great stuff from him instead. | ||

If they are now on ST for the fantasy league, they should be tradeable again. Next week it'll be too late for me to grab trickster on my anti-team  | ||

They seem to be a lot cause but at least Lots is playing. Oh nice I happen to have Byun, Revival, and Gumiho on my team already, and I was going to dump Revival for a starter. I made the trade you're debating for the same reasons you're debating it- Alicia is Slayers' best Toss, but with so many otehr good players, especially Terran, he's only good as a Toss sniper. Puma however, is right now perhaps TSL's best player on a lineup not especially deep- I think only 7 players sat their bench last week/time they played. TSL has a better schedule for seeing an ace play, but not hard enough that you'd lose/not get points for losses. Where do you go to get that info though? I wanna be able to check the starters every week. edit- @asperger+ the other guy: the reason I didn't wait for Puma was in case he, by chance or skill, happened to do really well against Slayers, and then was out of reach- the only person I can trade is Alicia for that 24.something point value (DRG's my captain and I wouldn't trade him anyway), and if Alicia doesn't see play/do well, and Puma does, then I'm missing a player I definitely want in the future, so making the possible sacrifice of this week's points is worth it IMO. | ||

I guess I count on having Squirtle as a possible trade for Puma later on, because currently I feel my team isn't fit for trading around enough to justify a Puma trade. Puma is an amazing player, but Slayers has so many competent players that they easily can prepare one of them for Puma alone.

Actually the more I think about it, I see a big week for July incoming. If he isn't too jetlagged to play, good chance he comes out. And if he can get through Byun, there aren't any ZNX players that can really stop him... aside from Puzzle who they'll save as their ace. July would have a very good chance of beating any player ZNX sends out. Stuck between Puzzle and Byun | ||

Of course there is no chance Oz is going to get 3 kills and win for FXO lol. That is beyond wishful thinking. sC, Leenock and GuMiho are way too strong. | ||

Thanks for making me laugh. I'm even thinking of trading MC for him short term, who is worth 16 points more at the moment, because I have no other players with enough points to trade for GuMiho. He's the single best player by far to go out against FXO so far and he's first so he'll probably all-kill as well. Especially with Sheth MIA. | ||
