I don't think really understand the stats. There's this one guy I have who's doing a ton better than I think he should be based on the numbers. I put his (pretty mediocre) stats in the spoiler, can someone help me figure out why he's killing people with much higher macro/micro/multitask.

Hint: Its quite certainly not the "strategies."

Macro Monster trait and high vX. He's very good in late-game battles.

Ooh thanks so much. I figured the vX had something to do with it but I didn't know it was all that important. Kinda thought it just bolstered macro/micro a tiny bit if it was already good in the first place, though I guess 7.3 macro isn't that horrendous. Also the macro monster thing didnt occur to me at all, that seems significant enough in retrospect.

Again tyty. ^^

A simple word of warning for ppl who re going to have a lv2 team soon.

Don't do as I did, going into the market and buying good players for $10.

Since ... they keep their previous salaries. So if some dumbass got them as free agent for $900 / day, you will too.

And lose 3500k/day like me.

I got my game ruined because I thought what you paid for them was their new salary. Big mistake

I almost sold them all to other guillible players like me (yeah i am bad) but i am in debt now and no hope to recover

I looked for this in the wiki but couldn't find it: can we set teams for the team league? My bad players keep on being played and I lose because of it.

Sorry if it has been asked before.

Yes you can.

Click on your upcoming team league match and drag and drop players.
Lvl 0 & 1 teams play 3 games, (3 Bo1) lv 2 teams play 7 Bo1.

By default, the game picks the player ordered by ELO. (thus making play your best player first etc.)

actually it just switched to 5 for level 1 without any warning, it threw in 2 of my streamers since their elo was at 2k and now their elo is in the pooper.

So mad.

Well it makes more sense that LVL1 team tourneys require 5 ppl imo. But these changes should be up in the sc2m frontpage.

Lvl 2 team tournaments are pretty brutal since I only got 3 "ok" players, it is a guaranteed loss.

i love those team tournaments because i have about 10 decent players and i can switch them up between rounds for better results, also there are less participants in team tournaments therefor its a bigger chance to win there

I like the team change, it really makes it worthwhile having solid players in your lineup. The Bo3 pissed me off, so its nice to have Bo5 for team (and Bo7 for level 2).

And yeah, level 2 tournament is brutal. There's apparently a ton of good teams in there.
