For me the FPL didnt start very well (somebody could even say quite bad), but I attribute that to being FPL novice. Only ones that scored for my team were Bbyong and Fantasy with Mind and Crazy-Hydra scoring also, because they didnt actually get to play. Flying and hyvaa disappointed a little bit. From the anti-team, Jaehoon has made me lose 4 points, which I didnt like at all. On the other hand, Mini didnt play at all and Bisu lost, so at least something. Getting Woongjin Stars as my team, I kinda question now. Of course, we cannot deduce anything from one match, but STX Soul has impressed me more first week and they cost same amount of points.


Trades I have made:

None on main team, was thinking about getting rid of Flying, but he is the only protoss on my team, so I would have to either trade him for another protoss or do 2 trades, which is currently not too appealing to me.

On anti-team though, I have traded Jaehoon for Stephano. He won't be playing this week for sure, and also probably won't be playing the next week since HSC ends on 22.12 which is next Saturday. If he goes to Korea straight after HSC, he may be playing in match on 25.12. - jetlagged, not prepared etc. Not to mention, that Jaehoon actually has pretty good chance to win his first match (and he will probably lose the second to Rain). Trade worth it, imo.


Expected performance (maybe the better name for this section would be "Things I hope for"):

Fantasy should be leading the charge for me as my captain, I really expect him to win both his matches. Neither hOn_sin nor Ryul2 should be too much of a problem for him.

Bbyong plays against JD and Trap next week. I fully expect JD to lose, mainly after what he showed against Hack. Versus Trap it should be 50/50 and I hope he can beat him too. Wont be too surprised if he loses though.

Crazy-Hydra plays only one match and thats against Flying, whom I also have on my team, so if it comes to that match, I will get points from it whatever happens.

Mind plays Jaehoon and hOn_sin, both on Arkanoid (he was also scheduled to play on Arkanoid in the EG-TL match), so he seems like a sniper for this map. Hopefully he has some good builds prepared.

Flying plays soO and C-H. Against soO its gonna be very hard. I actually dont expect him to win. Will see though, maybe he has some ace up his sleeve. He only trains PvZ for this week, so if he doesnt do 10 min mothership, he may stand a chance. Agains C-H it doesnt really matter, I have some points from that match either way.

And finally, hyvaa plays against hOpe and Effort. He only has to train ZvZ which is good. I think he should beat hOpe and stand a fair chance against Effort, so this is his chance to redeem himself after losing last week.

And now to some predictions!

Some of my thoughts if anyone's interested!
Currently ranked at 726 which is much better then about 2.5k place I was in after first week. I am kinda OK with this, but I was (and still am) aiming for more. Not bad for first time FPL though ^^

Captain Fantasy performed well, but lost one match which I didn't expect. It was a loss in a weird game which included double proxy reaper and CCs flying to opponent's main to start mining again. As I said, it was weird game and nobody can blame Fantasy for losing. Against Ryul2 he won, as expected. I still think it was a good decision to make Fantasy my captain and I wouldn't trade him even if I could.

Bbyong brought home 5 points, which was kinda expected. He won the match I expected him to lose and lost the one I expected him to win, but 5 points are still great. And he only cost 4 points before SPL started! It was a bargain deal and he is definitely a keeper.

Crazy-Hydra didn't play at all this week, but he still brought 2 points. He actually didn't get to play at all yet. To be honest, him being tied for third best contributor to my team overall with his stellar record of 0-0 probably says something about my team. Will see the matchups, but I still have faith in this particular KT zerg, so I will most probably keep him.

hyvaa is kinda strange imo. He won once and lost once. I kinda expected that. But he lost to hOpe (which he shouldn't have) and won against EffOrt (which is strange). I really am not sure what to do with him. His 1-2 record is not stellar, but he has potential for more. In first week, he lost to Best on Bifrost, which is understandable (but why did he go with that weird 2nd hatch in place where third is supposed to be on Bifrost of all maps?). Then he lost to hOpe in game I expected him to win (didn't see this match). And then he won against EffOrt which was also unexpected (will watch the game today after work). Will have to see the matchups, but I will think about trading him away. Not a priority trade though. (+ I am bashing my head against the wall, cause I was resubmitting this team several times and only difference was always soO or hyvaa. I should have gone with soO). He is on standby.

Flying is another player I am not sure about. He failed in first week, then he played against soO and lost. I expected him to lose, sure, but the way he lost was just stupid. He had like 3 minute window where he could have killed soO and instead he was just going between the bases not doing any damage. When he finally committed, it was too late and soO crushed him. He didn't get to play against C-H. I will have to see matchups, if he goes against lesser terran or protoss, I may keep him. If he goes against Zerg I may have to trade him. It depends on more things though, since he is only protoss in my team, I will have to trade him for either Wooki or Dear, so it also depends on their matchups. For now he is on standby.

Mind is just bad. I though that since KT is playing him all three games same map, he has what it takes to win at least once. But he was completely lost against both his opponents, that I will have to trade him probably. Depends who can he be traded for, but if I find someone in lineup he will go away. Trade pending.

Woongjin Stars
Well, what can I say. After not so convincing start, they managed to 4:0 KT and 4:3 SKT which netted me nice 10 points this week and 9 points overall. Keeping them.

On anti-team I will probably keep them all, although if Bisu plays and Light doesn't I may trade them. Same goes for Mini -> Light. Have to see the lineups.
