Also Light is going to be the biggest steal at 3 points. Dude is going to beast.
For a TSL tribute team, it's pretty mean to put the only ex-TSL player on your Anti, isn't it?

I'm conflicted..
can anyone help?
Bbyong or Skyhigh @ 3 points?
Soulkey or Taeja as Captain?
Both seems to have their pros and cons..
Flip a coin. They're pretty equal in skill in both cases. I'd go with TaeJa though because of his experience in Winner's league format teamleagues in SC2.

Figure Taeja and Wooki will carry points wise and that revival will grab me some points throughout the season.
Think EG-TL will be really good in the 2nd round, I am sticking with Stork for the anti team because I think he is getting a little disillusioned with SC2 after having played so well in BW and not meeting as much success in WoL

At first it was:

But then I remembered the all-kill format and thought that it would favor the team aces that have no obvious weakness.
Now it is:

5 Crazy-Hydra

I put all my points in TaeJa and Fantasy. They both win about 70% of their games so the multi-kill potential is very high. No obvious weakness either.
Didn't pick Rain because he was more expensive and I felt that he wasn't better. Also feel his hot streak is about to end. He's shown to be downright sloppy after periods of domination.
Didn't pick Flash because I think his weak TvT will be exposed in this format. It might be fixed by now but didn't wanna gamble. I think overall his skill is the highest in PL but his TvT builds have been killing him.
Didn't pick sHy because his Quality of Competition is a bit low despite the high win% in every match-up. His Code S run was underwhelming and didn't beat anyone really scary last round.
Didn't pick herO[jOin] because his team is in low spirits so it might hurt his confidence and state of mind.
hOn_sin pick is because he'll be a useful Terran sniper. I'm also hoping he is a secret TvZ gosu. (never played a televised TvZ)

A lot of my team's success relies on the first week results . I am expecting my 3 pointers to net me at least 1 win in their first game . Also Taeja seems like a good choice since he is experienced in this format and is a solid player in all MUs and more experience in SC2 then the lot of them . I am also expecting good things from Wooki , but i don't know if he will get overshadowed by Flash and Stats .
Light and Hydra are historically good in WL style format , even though this is a new game . Seeing their teams send them first makes me think that they are doing rather well . Reality and Last seem like good 3 pointers as well which i will be depending on to get me the first wins this week.
CJ apart from being my absolute favourite team is also a team of snipers . Rarely will you see CJ geting all - killed . I am expecting them to narrowly win series geting me moderate points .
Antiteam is always tricky . Chose Hon_sin , since WJ is overstacked and they primary used him as a TvT sniper . He is pretty scary though one of the better rookies for sure . Jaehoon and hyvaa are the border line mediocre players never passing the 50 % winrate barrier . I don't see them doing well in WL .
I picked a lot of 3 pointers and 5-4-4 pointers antiteam so that i can have the option of trading them if i feel like it later on . Having 1 or 2 pointers will likely be stuck in your team forever without the option of trading them .

Rather than pick ace players who are extremely good, I wanted to go with a balanced lineup with a lot of players that have potential to start a lot of matches for their teams that I think can knock off several wins. My reasoning behind this is that while its great to pick a Rain or a Flash or a Taeja who will be hard to kill, its also more likely that they will be played later on by their teams as aces. Meaning there is a high possibility that they will have less games to play, and thus less opportunities to win and score points. By picking middle-tier players who look like they will be leading off for their teams based on week 1 for the round, I pick players who have more potential games if they get hot, and thus more chances to score points.
I picked the exact same anti as round 1 I believe, but primarily because I feel Jaedong and JYP have notably weak matchups that will lead to them getting sniped. While JYPvT isn't as horrendous as it once was, its still a weak point that will lead to him getting sniped a lot by T, and losing after maybe 1 win at best. Jaedong's v P has appeared weak, especially to the immortal/sentry all-in. Plus, with guys like Stephano and Revival coming over, its entirely possible that these two lose playing time.

Ok, for my main team I tried to go for two players I can be 100% sure that they will be played each and every week except for the case when their team wins before they can be played. Of course a lot of snipers will be prepared for the aces, but the fact that the map is predetermined increases the odds of aces to avoid the snipers or to delay them another map or two. It also helps that I think that Rain and TaeJa are the strongest players in the league and both of them have a strong second ace right behind them in Fantasy and HerO, so that might remove some of the sniping opportunities for the opposing team.
Revival is a bit undervalued I believe, so I went for him, as I also expect him to be played frequently (he is also Zerg...).
The rest I filled up with cheap alternatives: while Mini played quite horrendously, he at least was in GSL once, and I suspect he might be used as sniper; Acacia is a cheap Zerg on one of the top three teams; and sSak is also on SKT and a new addition, there must be a reason why he was added to the roster, maybe he is good, who knows? For a 1-pointer a gamble I'm willing to make.
As a team I chose SKT, because for 4 points and two of the strongest aces it's quite the steal. I would have liked to take EGTL here, but considering that they are both pretty equal in terms of toplevel players, but SKT having an established team house and training regimen and slightly more depth, I couldn't justify spending more points on TL (sorry TL, will be cheering for you nonetheless, even though I feel like a traitor).
For the Anti team: MajOr most likely won't be fielded right away shortly after moving to Korea. JangBi looked horrible in his games (failing at wonwonwons and being able to leverage wins afterwards to even more horrible opponents?), I personally wouldn't rate him higher than 3. Stork has nice micro, but plays a strategical style that needs more experience than he has to truely shine imo.

The most controversial here would be the Taeja anti-team, but, whatever. I'm expecting crashing and burning, and riding on the SKT1 train to success. Also, Mini is a really underrated player.

Hydra seems like a good pick; he'S probably going to beat Sang in T8 vs CJ. Also, in Samsung KHAN vs T8, he'll probably get played and score a Kill; despite me liking Samsung KHAN, I think T8 can win against Samsung KHAN.
Jaehoon looks Solid, and he'S probably T8'S best player. He'S starting to get better, by the looks of it.
Last is a pretty good terran, aT least when I saw him. Or maybe I'M thinking of someone else. AH, whatever, he'S in STX so if STX can win, I'll get points for him there.
Revival is cheap, just like I expected. He'S underrated; if you've seen him play, you can tell he'S Really good. He'S killed my favorites in foreign tournaments before, so I don't doubt he'll do the same. Plus, if you saw the results to IPTL yesterday, you can see that he performs Really well. He did come from TSL (RIP) after all.
TaeJa is a Great pick, because no matter how much he'S worth, he'S going to be worth a lot more. Having all-killed multiple teams, yada yada, you already know. The Only ReasoN why I might hesitate to pick him is if Stephano is played a lot and Stephano gets all the kills; however, this would mean a TL win anyways. Also, Stephano isn't playing Week 1, I think.
Trap is in STX; despite Bogus not playing Super well, I think STX will win most of their matches, and will play Trap a lot. He was played 6 times in Round 1. However, going against SKT1 and KT Rolster in week 1, I might switch him out, then just acquire him through trades NEXT week.
ANTI TEAM
Eh, I don't Really have much LogiC behind my anti. I guess I feel that JangBi is worth too much, since he'S Only started winning. I WanT Samsung KHAN to do well, even if it costs me my Fantasy Team. But for now, JangBi'S on my anti.
EDIT: Lol, I accidentally TLPD'd everything, and un-TLPD'ing leaves some mistakes. W/e, too lazy to fix it up, you get my team.

How can you be Team Legend Killers when Jaedong is on your anti?

Bbyong, Flying, Revival - All seem like great value for their cost
Stats - Great record last season, think he will do damage
Sacsri - Needed a 2 and a Z
Fantasy - Complete toss up between him and taeja, i think they will both kill this season. Might switch to taeja yet as he has been TLs ace, whereas Fantasy might be overshadowed by Rain.
SKT1 - Think they will perform better in all kill, better value than the more expensive teams
Anti-Team
Kinda wanted to go 1 high value and 2 low because it seems smarter for all-kill format, but i just cant figure out a team that i think will be lower value than this one.
