Trades have been reset for those of you who traded TaeJa to your anti team, this wasn't supposed to be possible.

was he removed from the roster for Round 3?

No, but he's injured and clearly priced as if he isn't.

Shouldn't trading close a lot earlier since the Saturday games were moved to Friday?

I'm scared that Reality will slap Zenio because Zenio loses everytimes but Reality ain't that good/tradable from anti team.
I might trade Stats for herO since he has a difficult match vs Stork which he can win, and is sixth player inanother match, whereas herO join has two easy matches, but I'm not sure since upsets happen a lot in PvP.

Okay, you guys, be prepared, here comes the most horribly crushed-burned-demolished carefully thought out lineup ever.
Fate is my enemy (not a player, but you know, the thing).
So I went and made a fantasy roster mostly composed of WJ guys. I imagined I am a bit too overdependant and that could lead to problems but this is just too much more than bad luck for me to comprehend.
Let's take a look at my team:
Dear
Bravo
Light
Mekia
Soulkey
ZerO
team: WJS
And then here is my anti:
SHine
hyvaa
HerO
Note that hyvaa and Shine had like the worst records after two rounds, and I even jokingly wrote in the team posting thread that Shine is so ridiculously bad that I can only hope he's not gonna be getting good now.
(by the time I'm writing he's even qualified succesfully to Code A)
So the results:
Day 1:
Instead of +4 for Dear zeroing it out, he lost and hyvaa won, so I ended up with the opposite result.
Dear 1
hyvaa -4
Day 2:
Shine -4
Everyone thought T8 vs WJS is going to be a no-brainer, and then what happened?
Not only did T8 win, they won 4-2 in such a way where everyone but the players I am having on my fantasy won for WJS :D
Light 0
BrAvO 0
Soulkey 0
ZerO 0
(and ZerO lost a ZvZ too. A ZvZ.Out of ever or anyMU.)
Woongjin -1
Main:
Dear 1
Light 0
BrAvO 0
Soulkey 0
ZerO 0
WJS -1
Anti:
Shine -4
hyvaa -4
HerO -1
TOTAL:
-9
:'DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd
fuck
I don't know what there is to hope for.

Week the Second
Main Team
Bbyong: The hottest 2 pointer I could pick up. Unfortunately, is not playing for what seems like forever.
Traded.
Innovation (Bogus): I picked him up because he seemed underpriced, and he isn't disappointing. This week he's playing Aria and sKyHigh, two players that don't exactly command the same authority as Zenio, who pretty much died against him. Keeping.
Sacsri: Who is this person exactly? I don't know, but he's cheap and winning, and he's playing two zergs, only one of which is ZerO.
Keeping.
herO[jOin]: Aww yeah. My favorite Kespa player won his match against the ferocious JangBi, and he's facing two lesser protosses, ParalyzE and Trap.
Keeping.
Revival: Sigh... How good is his ZvZ?
Maybe keeping.
ZerO: Well, I'll definately get SOME points since he's playing Sacsri. He's also playing hyvaa, so I expect lots of ZvZ practice. He's also pretty good.
Keeping.
ANTI TEAM
EffOrt: What was I thinking!? My luck can not possibly hold!
Can't do anything
Bong: Facing two zergs and could beat them both; his PvZ is not very tested yet.
Traded.
Last: Why are ALL of my anti-team members playing two games this week. *sigh* Gotta trade them all!
Keeping.
Adding:
SonGDuri to my main team. Playing two matches, unlike everyone else I could find. Unfortunately, one is against my main team, and one is against my anti-team. Could do worse though...
JYP to my anti team. He's got matches against Stork and Cure, two formidable players.
Hopefully this goes as planned...

Savage is destroying me for picking him in the anti... god damn...
traded Swift for Penguin , as i Didnt know any of the other players there... guess none of them will see much play.
guess flash and jaedong didnt leave many points to spend on others xD

lots of PvP and ZvZ, this week is hard to predict

that is one heck of a team you've got there o_O

Reality and Shine have two of the worst winrates in all of proleauge throughout Round 1 and 2. So I put them both on my anti. They both then beat their opponents, causing me to lose 9 points and then they both proceed to qualify for Code A.

I don't think I will trade Stats for herO[Join] as I wanted to do initially. He seems to have two easy opponents but in fact he lost against Paralyze like 11 days ago, and his PvP is good-ish but not THAT good that it would be an autowin, especially in a bo1.
Plus I don't like trading too much, too easy to regret, so I'll stay with Stats despite a hard pvp vs Stork and a sixth place match.
Since I have both Classic and sHy I got a guaranteed +4 for STX vs WJS.
Reality qualifying for code A scares me though, and if he is against Zenio it's almost certain he'll win, but there are no good trades for him in anti-team T;T.

This is a bit fucked up though. If he wasn't priced properly at the start, then why was he priced that way? The current protocol regarding players not playing in the first week has been to not be able to pick them on anti team in week 1, but then from week 2 onward. I created my team with this in mind, because otherwise I assumed Taeja wouldn't have been left at the top with that many points. Even some of the language used indicated that Taeja's value was going to decay over time, which means to me that again Taeja is going to remain pickable on anti just not during week 1. I developed my strategy around this, picked a high point player I thought would lose week 1 based on match ups. Now I'm stuck with Rain on my anti team and can't trade to the guy I wanted to.
I'm not saying Taeja should be valued as he is, but this should've been announced or dealt with before we got started, not changed afterwards. It messed up my entire anti-team, and I'm slightly pissed off about it. Yes it's just for fun, and yeah I can just stop playing if I don't like it, but I like making a strategy and planning ahead. I don't understand why he was left in there at the point value he's at, if TL didn't plan on keeping him there. It's not like something suddenly happened to him this week. I feel like I'm being punished for actually putting some effort into my team.

Well it does say TaeJa and Stephano aren't pickable on anti until further notice, so it sounds like you just made a huge gamble on TaeJa being pickable this week. If we knew he would be everyone would follow such a strategy.

Taeja, I can sorta understand, as players who retire or become unquestionally unavailable etc. have traditionally been made unavailable for anti. + Show Spoiler +(Although he seems to be avaliable going by his Code S interview)

I don't think what I did was a gamble. How was I to know his status as a pickable player would be changed from the start of FPL? He was announced that he wasn't available to be picked for anti for week 1, not for the entire season (unless I missed something). Announcing it after the fact doesn't matter :/, as then the game creators are changing the game after it's started and I cannot be expected to account for that. Taeja's wrist has been hurt for a while, why wasn't he removed earlier?

Stephano and Taeja are unable to be picked on your anti-team until further notice. We also HIGHLY discourage you from picking them on your main team, as they probably won't be playing in the first week. They are both valued at 9 so that they will hopefully decay to their proper values by the time they eventually play. We hope to make player absences less of a factor in Fantasy Proleague.
I don't see what's so unclear about that.

There is no protocol and I'm not sure why you would assume so based on 2 rounds of data. In round 1, Stephano/Idra were allowed to be anti-teamed in week 2, because we were unsure of their status in week 2. In round 2, Stephano was allowed to be anti-teamed in week 2, because Stephano arrived in Korea right before round 2. It's just a coincidence that you extrapolated too much from.

Everyone pretty much knew Stephano wasn't going to play in week 1. There's two reasons Stephano is so different from every other player. First is that everyone knows he has another commitment in Code S; you can easily predict he won't be on the lineup or even play as ace. There was a good chance that wouldn't play in future matches in round 2 either. The more important reason is that he's the only really good high valued player(besides Taeja) who wasn't in the lineup. Thus, if we priced Stephano "fairly", every logical person would have picked him on their anti-teams, leading to another un-competitive season of FPL anti-teams.
