Im confused by trading. If i got it right, i can only trade to a player worth less than my original player, right? But this would mean that trading is bad for the overall value of my team? or can i earn new points anyhow? what am i missing? :D Players change value over time depending on performance. So a cheap player can get expensive, or an expensive cheaper.
Ah, now i get it :D

GumiSMASH!
Main Team
6  Bomber
7 GuMiho (captain)
1 Hell
5  NAKSEO(Monster)
3 Noblesse
1 Supreme
4  TAiLS
5 YongHwa
4 [tlpd#teams##sc2-korean]FX Open[/tlpd]
Anti Team
5 Maru
4 Sting
4 Swagger(Killer)
I really hope Gumi is gonna crush. Could end badly, but you gotta represent. Chose Yonghwa over First because he´s an all-killing machine and looks like Woody Allen.
Noblesse, Tails and Monster have all shown they´re crazy good players when they rise to the occasion, which should be optimal for team leagues.
Bomber is a total stud.
Supreme and Hell are just cheap players from solid teams that won´t see use (I guess...) and give some points from their teams winning (if this works like FPL).
Sting and Killer both showed pretty poor play, with Killer likely remaining benched. Decided for Maru over Ryung/MMA because he still seems shaky and prone to stress.

Team Kang Hyun Woo
Main Team
2 Avenge
5 ByuN
5 First (captain)
5 Hurricane(Tear)
4 KeeN
4 RagnaroK
2 Sparta
4 TAiLS
5 Team Incredible Miracle
Anti Team
6 MMA
4 Scarlett
3 SortOf
Okay, so going into this, I had a couple of initial thoughts: I wanted First as my captain for good luck as I run his fanclub, but also he's a reasonably priced teamleague veteran with good HotS experience. It'd have been him or YongHwa I guess, but First has more mojo. Well the entire IM protoss line-up is good, which also makes picking a protoss risky... You might get the least used one. :p
Secondly, Tear/Hurricane is someone I was seriously interested in, and I feel he's a steal at only 5. And, though they are expensive, I also wanted Incredible Miracle as my team, haha. Despite being an IM fanboy, I am trying not to go all-in, for all-kill you want a more balanced team for sure. No IM players are expensive, but a lot are in the middle-range of prices - a reflection of the fact that it's hard to tell exactly which players get sent out, making them a bit of a gamble. This issue will permeate my entire team, as I will be going for a 5 pointer team... No expensive heavy hitters.
Thirdly, I wanted a Prime terran without a doubt. MarineKing was a bit expensive, so went with Byun, who has an insane ladder record. I don't know if Prime will do well, they may not, but Byun will be insurance in case they do, he should be sent out a lot and can be traded away if I need to. Prime has too much to prove for me to invest more in them though, their overall ladder records are good, but that won't neccesarily translate into teamleague results.
Having 2 protoss and a terran, I decided to pick a zerg so my racial balance is in order. Too many WoL zergs are clouding the highest price-range, so I went lower and picked the extremely hyped Ragnarok, filling my quota of IM (2 players and team-pick). 24 points used, and 4 spots left! At this point, it also becomes time to ponder my teams more thoroughly.
FXO will face IM, so I will not pick another player from them yet, even though they're a team who might be a good investment, but I picked the side of IM in that match. So, I look towards MVP vs AXA, and decide I will side with MVP, a strong overall team as well, grabbing a cheap KeeN, who should see a lot of playtime and is already guaranteed to be sent out. I want a second MVP player, so I pick Tails, a player I personally dislike (He all-killed IM >:o ) and consider low in the ranking of MVP players, but he seems to do well in teamleagues...
At this point I have 4 points left to share between 2 players.  I decide to continue team coverage with Startale, who should win over NSH. Right now I have Sparta and Avenge, but, I need to check these low point ST players a bit, so will change the team after deliberating a bit...
Anti-team is straightforward, expensive foreigners on teams expected to perform in the middle to bad range, AXA and NSH, so picked Scarlett and SortOf. Both are decent players able to upset a Korean once in a while, and they'd be worth their points too if not for the lack of GSTL experience. Similarily to Proleague, GSTL is a very unusual beast, so I am not sure they will get to show their skill. Right now I have MMA in my anti-team, as I too think that without his mistreated coach, he's pretty bad, but since everyone picked him I am not going to pick him. I am too superstitious for that. :D I'll have to change my anti-team a bit, I'm too scared MMA will go full RoRo.
Finally, my racial balance is entirely coincidental. The inflated prices of zergs is what kept me away from them for the most part. Losira and Ragnarok were my top zerg picks, but together they are too much IM at once, so ended up with only 1 zerg in Ragnarok. Oh, and the team is named after First, the captain, of course. ^_^

Life probably won't even play. Like MVP and Nestea, you barely see them. That's why I put Life there, as well as Eve and Nestea.

Underrated

2 Sound
2 SuHoSin
1 Supreme
2 [tlpd#teams##sc2-korean]AxiomAcer[/tlpd]
Anti Team

I don't think this'll put me in the top10 but i'm pretty confident i can be placed above average :D
I wish i had chose alicia and some others for 4 points but i limited myself to 3. It was hard already to cut out some of them..

The thing about MMA is that it's a complete high risk reward choice. It wouldn't be too crazy to put him on the main or the anti team. He is however, slightly overpriced, I guess him winning that one game in preseason plus his previous aura made him that overpriced.

TREME is a great pickup for a startale cover, he was good in beta, currently 18th on ladder
