Avenge seems an obvious mid-low cost choice, I feel ST is favoured in the matchup so he should pick up at least a point, and he seems the obvious go-to protoss-- he has more recent success than Treme, making him a likely show. Thoughts?
I'd say Ryung/Maru is pretty equal. Ryung is a slightly better value (possibly ace of team and slightly better overall player), but Maru has one more game to play.
I wouldn't trade Lure for Avenge though. TREME has shown good play in HotS thus far and I'm fairly certain he's the protoss ace of the team now. Sound is starting this week, so it's unlikely StarTale will send in another B teamer, even against NSH. For the season as a whole, I'd be surprised if Avenge gets more than one appearance.

prime terran's worst matchups are no longer zerg, it's TvT that they're weakest at now

True to an extent I think, but MKP alleviates that a bit... in WoL he'd always screw things up by doing something crazy that looked cool but just sucked, but in HotS, nothing is really figured out so I think he can get away with it for the time being.

Can someone explain to me how Alicia got a point even though he lost?

Play a game +1
Lose a game -1
Team wins +1
= 1

That's what I would think, but MKP just got absolutely SMASHED by jjakji at MLG by trying to do silly all-ins...

You might want to specify that spoiler. I am not happy with you right now.

So happy I traded for Sound. Traded Sound for Ace and then traded Sparta for Ace again figuring that Ace gets decent GTSL play usually and that sound would get me a solid 1 point.
Ended up hitting the jackpot. Was creaming myself in Set 2 and Set 3, such great games.
Here's my team ATM:
YoDa MMA
AcE BboongBboong 0
Classic Noblesse 0
Life
MarineKing
Sound
Sting
TOP

Turns out Byun was a good choice after all. Was a bit worried he would crash and burn from his nerves again, but a good all-kill should net me some points (bringing my team above negative score, woot!).

I have Sound on my team and now his trade value has skyrocketed. he's worth 37.56. I'm not sure whether to keep him, or trade for Gumiho while their trade value is equal. FXO didn't even field Gumiho last time, whereas ST are fielding their code B players more and more. Gumiho must be well practiced if they are sending him to Dreamhack... what would you guys do?
would you guys keep Yoda, or would you trade him for TvT specialist Ryung? If it comes to it, AX-Acer would get a win with Ryung sniping Yoda. but he seems to be less reliable vP/Z. the other option is trading Yoda for MKP. also, who do you think MVP are more likely to send out vs FXO: Noblesse or Vampire?

If I had sound right now, I'd trade for Gumiho in a second...
that said, I didn't have the foresight to trade for Sound in the first place, so my opinion isn't worth all that much at the moment.

I made my team in 2 minutes and now my score is 1. No regrets for my youth.

My score is -5. I spent a good bit more than 2 minutes on my team. I am sad.

that's what you get for not believing in byun

I'm overly tempted to trade Sc or SortOf off my anti-team for Scarlett this week seeing as she is starting against MvP. Any thoughts on this as well as trading JKS for Dream.
I'm at 19 pts so far. I was so damn close to trading JKS for Sound last week and paid the price for not doing so. I did however have Byun from Day 1 so I'm happy about that one. I also had Prime as my team. It is tempting to trade Prime for IM this week as well. Any thoughts on my trade proposals?

That feel when I just choose MVP Super for a bargain on my main team, and he now has a 3 kill against LG-IM in IPTL, and an All-Kill against FXO
|
I just realized.... I have Samsung Shine on my fantasy GSTL... LOL WHY?!
|
So when do these usually get updated? i traded Lucky for Super (LOL at how that turned out) and now am looking to trade up for someone really good. when does trading usually open?
