always thought we were carrying our team for every round, i guess having stephano as a long term investment was a really bad idea I thought this too and am disappointed they haven't made the format clear from the beginning. Yeah, this!! It was made clear, at least I knew it from the start because I read it here. Not sure if it was in the OP of the threads or they posted it in the comments, but I'm very certain they told us how it would go.
oh i'm sure it was written somewhere, i just didn't take the time to read carefully
at least i'm starting on the right foot now

I'm really really tempted to put a 9+ pointer on my anti team so I can get both huk and idra ( who I think won't play any games, and if they do, lose every one. )
True, but at the same time they get points whenever their team wins, and if you don't think a team with Taeja, Hero, Revival, and Stephano won't be winning matches this round in all kill format I think you'll be sadly mistaken. Picking one of them might be okay, but picking two means you might lose up to 12 points from those two alone without them needing to play a single match. Lets say EGTL wins four matches, you lose eight points from them simply by having them on your anti team. Not an insurmountable loss, but I think you could pick a better anti team than that.

Now that I better understand what an anti team is, I won't be throwing hero[join], shy, and flying up there. My anti team had more Points than my actual team.

Can we have the names changed so that they are the same everywhere? As an example we have "sOs" presented in lineups and in the Liquipedia records, but it's "Shy" in everything FPL related.
I know it's a touchy subject for some + Show Spoiler +you silly ultraconservatives :p

This is a good point. We'll work on fixing this by next round. We just have to coordinate FPL, TL news, Liquipedia, and TLPD.

Does anybody know if Idra will be in Korea for round 2? I still think he is worth the 2 points.

even if he is, he's probably their 7th in line to play, and each match only allows 4 participants. sure he might get the odd rotation into the lineup, but he's going to be next to worthless, besides the free pts he picks up for being on a winning team.

Yeah I guess you are right, and since I have 3 EG-TL players already, Alone for example makes much more sense as a 2 point zerg. Thanks for the advice.

Or in other news, you'll have to follow what LP says because we are much more awesome !

Not sure why SKT is only 4 points. They have 2 aces, so the format favors them.
Picked one player from each team and hope for the best

yes, we'll "work" towards it for sure

Here's my line up :
![[image loading]](http://i47.tinypic.com/ojnper.jpg)
What do you think? I had to get Rain in there as Captain. He will absolutely be a point machine with GSTL ALL KILL format.
|
Looks like my strategy of choosing players I liked and then never touching it again was enough for 70th place! BaBy on anti-team and Leta on real team was my big mistake though. I couldn't repost my old team cause now my players are worth too much but whatever, I feel validated.

Round 2 Preview and Analysis
Format
This isn't GSTL ! Key differences are : Best of 7 and pre-ordered maps.
- Bo7 means that only 4 players per team ever get to be fielded for the losing team (and less or equal for the winning team). So the priority number one is to identify the main line-up of each team as the core players have way more chance of being fielded.
- Pre-ordered maps favored sniping and less streaks as snipers can be prepared for certain maps. The maps that are likely to be sniped are the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. After that it's ace territory and much less predictable. For you it means that some unexpected players might get playing time but as BW history showed it's very rare (around 1 non-core every 2 matches) which reinforce the importance of core players.
Teams
This is a presentation of my opinion concerning which players belongs to the core members of the team based on previous results and overall fame.
- EG-TL (6p)
- Core :
 TaeJa (9p),  Stephano (8p), Jaedong &  HerO (7p)
- Second String : JYP (5p), Zenio & Revival (3p)
- Fillers : IdrA, HuK, PuMa & ThorZaIN (2p)
- Opinion : They will do better now with a very very experienced core. Their fillers are irrelevant in this format but Revival and JYP might see some playing time. Beware of HerO, he was red-hot last month but I fear he might already have entered the tilt The question is : Will Stephano crush faces or just be average ?
- KT Rolster (6p)
- Core : Flash (10p), Stats (7p), Action (6p)
- Second String : Wooki (6p), Crazy-Hydra (5p), Hitman & Motive (3p)
- Fillers : BarrackS, HoeJJa, Mind & Acacia (2p), MyuNgSiK, PenguiN & miso (1p)
- I don't know what to think about KT, results tend to indicate a scary team but Wooki and Crazy-Hydra are almost pure snipers (
 &  respectively) and as such I don't consider them core players. Still Action and Stats have proven their value over time and will play a lot; on the contrary Motive and hitman won't probably see the light.
- Woongjin Stars (5p)
- Core : sHy & SoulKey (8p), ZerO (5p), Light (3p)
- Second String : Sin (5p), free (3p), Flying (2p)
- Fillers : NaGi (2p), BisAnG, fOKINS, Hanbin, Rudy & Swift (1p)
- Opinion : Obviously a very strong team, perhaps even more than KT if Light still has the same level as in the hybrid PL. Sin is a good sniper that might get a lot of playing time while Flying and free could play if they regain more confidence.
- SKT T1 (4p)
- Core : Rain (11p), Fantasy (9p), SoO (5p)
- Second String : BeSt, Bisu & s2 (3p)
- Fillers : Sacsri, ParalyzE & yeOngJae (2p) Hyuk, sSak (1p)
- Opinion : A very good team all-around. I don't understand why it cost one point less than SKT but with the power of Rain & Fantasy as well as the help of soO, BeSt and co. It's hard to see who will play beside the 2 kings but Bisu and BeSt could well be among them.
- CJ Entus (3p)
- Core : EffOrt & herO[jOin] (8p), Bbyong (3p)
- Second String : Hydra, SonGDuri & sKyHigh (3p)
- Fillers : Bong[S.G] (2p) rare, Snow & Leta (1p)
- Opinion : It was somewhat surprising to see them go 3-0 in the first 2 weeks of the round 1, but their 0-4 in the second part is worrying. The matches were close but they still got crushed by T8. With Bbyong and Hydra with losing records the gap to overcome is too big for them to perform until either of them regain some momentum.
- STX Soul (2p)
- Core : Bogus (8p), Dear (6p), Trap & hyvaa (4p)
- Second String : Last (3p), Classic (2p), Mini (1p)
- Fillers : Calm, Comet, Size & Bear (1p)
- Opinion : STX struggles a lot because all of its players are inconsistent (even Bogus is only 5-4) But this might be a better round for them. All their core (besides hyvaa who contrary to what his name says in finish isn't any good) can hold their ground against anyone and with a bit of luck, they could end up winning 3 games max. The second string is just terrible though.
- T8 (2p)
- Core : BaBy (8p), Jaehoon, Speed (4p)
- Second String : Ryul2 & Terminator (3p), MajOr (2p)
- Fillers : Alone (2p) Dream.t)check, Sherry, Haruhi (1p)
- Opinion : Anemia. That's the main issue here. Speed and BaBy can hold their own. Jaehoon wins sometimes. Let's hope MajOr brings them some win otherwise they are doomed to be at the bottom once again.
- Samsung Khan (1p)
- Core : JangBi & RorO (6p), Stork (5p)
- Second String : Reality (3p), Shine (2p)
- Fillers : TurN, hOpe (2p), JuNi, Kop, BBatta, oDin(1p)
- Opinion : I hesitated to list none of them as core players but I was feeling nice. None of their players have a winning record. Shine fell into the abyss and didn't have Flying's teammates to catch him. Tough road ahead for Khan. If their fillers can get somewhat relevant, they might win more than one game, I wouldn't bet one it though.

|
Curious to see how Steph will do if he plays. Put him on my anti-team for rd 1 cause I knew he wouldn't play 
|
Why has idra been available when we know he will not be in korea but stephano is unavailable?
|
Never played before. Picking a team is hard as fuck.
Idra, I'm putting a lot of faith in you. I know you're going to let me down, but please don't.
