EPTI'm thinking about TheStc -> Byun trade as well, he's done pretty well recently, even taking out Nada in a TvT in code S. Plus I feel like MMA, GanZi, and Ryung are all on a bit of a slump and Taeja might actually do a bit better than them, so SlayerS terrans aren't looking in their best shape in the last few weeks.

Sure someone in FXO could take out GuMiho, I mean it is a best of one, but in likelyness GuMiho will get at least 3 kills.

Is The StC-> Byun better or an MMA -> Squirtle swap? | ||

I'd say StC-> Byun sounds better because both Byun and MMA are basically garunteed to come out (Byun 100% and when was the last GSTL that MMA DID'NT play in?). Squirtle might not come out at all | ||

I get that byun is guaranteed to play and will likely get 1-2 kills. But I don't see him getting much more than that. His TvZ is good, but enough to beat July? I doubt it. And of course he has like 0 chance of beating Bomber (obviously not 0... but very slim). So I feel the best case scenario for Byun is 2 wins and 4 points (+1 if ST wins). Puzzle, I feel is in basically the same boat. He won't get more than 2 kills simply because there probably won't be more than 2 people left to kill. And he really can't beat both July and Bomber in a row, its mad unlikely. So with Puzzle I see a max of 2 kills + any streak bonus. To me it seems like a toss up. With Puzzle you run the risk of Byun going on a streak and ZNX not needing Puzzle. But you get the added benefit of him most likely having to break someones streak (like he did last week with YoDa). Thoughts? Or am I thinking too hard and I should just grab byun and stop being such a noob... | ||

Also I didn't trade TheStc -> Puzzle because I already have Puzzle. :D | ||

For one Byun is in great form right now it seems, for another I see Puzzle as NEX's ace, so they'll play 2 more players between Byun and Puzzle. Not to mention Puzzle will play against harder opponents than Byun since Byun is starting. Also I didn't trade TheStc -> Puzzle because I already have Puzzle. :D Basically the same as this. Puzzle MIGHT play, Byun will play. And having Puzzle already makes it hard to trade for him  | ||

Hopefully there won't be any more surprise all-kills!I think I'm jumping on the Byun train as well, by the way. Happy -> Byun; I don't think we'll see as much of Happy in the future, and he hasn't really impressed me beyond the first GSTL games. I think I'll trade off Byun for an NSHS player (Tassadar perhaps?) next week, anyway. | ||

I think all the most obvious trades discussed above (Byun, FoU - I have Gumiho) will lose value in the end and be difficult to back out of - but this is probably down to my imperfect courage, and I will lose my soul* as a result. Best of luck, everybody! *points on offer for reference detection | ||

It's alright, man, week two I only got two points in total. :D I think I only got one point as well, by having JYP ( ) on my team. Hopefully Byun, Puzzle, Squirtle and GuMiho will rake up some points tomorrow.EDIT: Lol, I actually got 0 points, since I have Clide on my anti-team. I thank the gods that I traded SangHo away for Lyn on my anti before week two, though. | ||
