It's really weird. I could understand if he cost a lot of points, then it would kinda make sense to stick him on the anti-team given his kinda poor performance. But for only 4 points, it feels like a huge risk for not that much reward. >_>

It's funny how I ended up picking Bisu on my Anti-team but SKT to win it all lol. Have a bad feeling I'm going to regret choosing Bisu, Stork, Thorzain as anti-team. Stats looks to be a good pick from the comments flying around, but I just can't see myself dropping Fantasy with Boxer teaching him everything.

First time doing this PL stuff. I'm going with the mindset of taking players that I could support in the future.

Team : Woongjin Stars - 3p

I didn't want to go anywhere near Rain's family, nor did I think that EG-TL would crush face like TL writers expect them to. So among the rest, I had to choose between Woongjin, Samsung and STX. Even though Khan was a finalist last season, they have the team with the least impressive individual results so far and they cost 4 instead of 3 for the two other so it was eliminate there. Soul have the best individual players on paper (Bogus and Last) but the mastery Stars showed in the first round of the last PL made me fan. 2 of their players qualified for Code A, sin doing it against zergs including someone named Vampire, aka Sniper's clone; while 3 of them also reach the finals (free, BisAnG, ZerO). Not to mention sHy and Neo.G_Soulkey were in Code S. This team has tremendous potential with a whole bunch of youngsters.

Captain : Neo.G_Soulkey - 8p

Players :

• Bbyong - 4p
  
• ZerO - 4p
  
• Wooki - 3p
  
• JangBi - 5p
  
• hOn_sin - 3p

Among the players that were in Code S this season and who went down to Code A, Bbyong is the cheapest (4p) and the fact that he will likely share ace matches with Effort which makes him a wise pick. Then I wanted another reliable player for a decent price a protoss would have been best but none were that impressive for 4p. ZerO and Shine both fill that spot but I couldn't decide yet.

After that I wished to pick 2 protosses because in Bo1, those are always a good thing to have so one under 3p among {BisAnG,free,Wooki} and one over 5p among {Trap Stork,Flying,JangBi} was a good move for me. I believe BisAnG is the best player among the 1p players, his ability to reach Code B finals twice in a row (losing to win-hungry San in the last one) tells me that, however I don't think he is ranked that highly in his team and he shouldn't see that much playing time yet. As such I picked a combination that was likely to play often and which one of them will do well : [Wooki,JangBi].

Lastly I wanted a terran but they are WAY too costly for what they are {Bogus, Last, Flash, BaBy} or their level is quite unknown like {PuMa, ThorZaIN, hOn_sin, Classic}. I was determined to pick of the last group and decided to go for hOn_sin just because he his almost guaranteed to win his game against a totally unknown player who will be hard pressed to cheese on a map like Arkanoid.

Anti - team :

• BeSt - 6p
  
• sKyHigh - 4p
  
• Zenio - 3p

I am not sure BeSt will have a bad season/day but in the bigger scheme of things, I have to avoid picking against teams that I think could win in the end and he weights quite a few points in a team where he will end up behind Rain all the freaking time anf if Bisu comes back well, he can almost kiss his spot good bye. sKyHigh looks like an overrated player and Zenio has been slumping for a while.
