Sigh, Prime once again but at least Departure is a new player. How about you try a Terran for once instead of TerrOR?
Let MKP come back with Byun in round 2. I dunno wtf Jin Air is thinking risking Maru on Soulkey when sOs would have been a better choice. But w/e it might just work out or Maru wanted revenge.
Most of the matches look great. Can't wait for it to start.
At least Sniper is back in the lineup for my FPL team. Maybe he can kick Flash while he's down. I feel like Maru's win streak will be in jeopardy this week vs Soulkey

IS THIS FOR REAL
He was actually moderately used by WJS before he jumped ship to SC2. You shall see how atrocious his Proleague record is when it is shown before he plays.
Reading MVP and Fantasy in the lineup literally gave me nerd chills. This week is gonna be SICK. This season of proleague is starting to transform me into a terran fan T.T
@GolemMadness: Yes, Thorzain once got it for being the first foreigner to win a game in like forever. This isn't about who wins the most games or w/e, Kespa is using the MVP to popularize popular players even more. And tbh somebody like storks deserves it after loosing for such a long time. I think it makes more sense when you have watched a few more seasons of proleague as stork has been around FOREVER.
I don't understand how this Kespa weekly MVP thing works. Stork beats someone who's never played a televised game before and is MVP? Is it just because he hasn't won a Proleague game in so long?

Half of the votes are from reporters and other half from fans. Stork overwhelmingly won the fan vote, as expected.

At the end of every match, they pick a match MVP (usually the ace winner if there is one but otherwise it's who is better to interview really). Then they got thrown together at the end of the week for the weekly MVP poll, which is split between Korean reporters (60%) and general public (40%). The winners of those then qualify for the round MVP award, which again is split I think between reporters, public and coaches (can't quite remember).
But yeah the public usually treat it as pretty much a popularity contest.
Too bad bunny plays two P and not two Z but hopefully he ll do well. It s nice to see him again. I am not sad to see Hydra go, but a bit for effort. Go CJ!

HerO is playing with IM, not MVP. He is playing with Mvp, though
So much name confusion within Starcraft xD I mean even the other day I casually confused Shine with Shine
I just capitalized Mvp the same way I capitalized HerO, Shellbot just likes being a smart robot
Yeah, I always find that when people hype-spell Mvp there is always someone who has to point out the difference beetween the player and the team. And this time I tagged along, although with abit of sarcasm
(Vote): Sniper vs. Flash (Vote): Mvp vs. eMotion (Vote): ByuL vs. RorO (Vote): Maru vs. Soulkey (Vote): sOs vs. Rain (Vote): TRUE vs. FanTaSy (Vote): DongRaeGu vs. herO (Vote): Other
Does anyone trust Rain to win this match? I feel like he would be the one to get sOs out of his funk >.< But I have the opportunity to trade for him while his value is low... thinking hard on this. Anyone else trading for Rain right now in FPL?

It's pronounced like the word, the capitalizations are just for aesthetics. It's just a way to add a little creativity or individuality to your name within the limits of the naming system since symbols and weird characters aren't allowed.

Best example is IdrA it just looks way better than Idra.

Wuss, stick with it
I presume you're keeping Roro on your anti-team for the whole season.
Of course
But i think you will not go full on CJ at least ?
Sure I will, #CJFAITH
'course, I'm keeping Solar. I love that guy,
I will try to get solar too, seems like a good pick, but i fear that won't be possible with my core next round^^
Yeah Solar's value will probably be higher next round than it was this round. If he' cheaper than 5 points once R2 comes around though, he'll still be a good pick for his value. He's still underrated.

I think so too, next round will be harder overall, we had a lot of "strange" values this round^^ (which is only natural though) But i am not sure yet if i rate him higher than rogue, hm..

Solar is actually highly rated considering how many fewer games he's played compared to the other players in FPL. I had to get TY off my anti so Solar was my only option besides Maru
I must have missed this, but why is Prime listed at a -10 win/loss differential when they have a 3 wins/12 losses record? Liquipedia lists them as "-9 (-1)", what does that mean? Did they get penalized a point for something? See http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2014_Proleague/Round_1
Flash vs Sniper on Sunday? XD Maybe I should wake up to watch this lol. I think Maru vs SK should be good. Wonder how Fantasy is faring these days. Been forever since I've seen how he plays. I remember him saying that SCII suited his harassing style better than BW yet he's doing much worse? cmon Fantasy!

Yup, I believe they got a penalty point. Something about Creator and Terror (?) watching replays inbetween games.

Yeah, two of their players were caught watching replays in between games
in my opinion he was probably the best CJ rookie last season making it into the GSL and getting some wins, but I haven't seen much of him lately so I'm not sure what his form is now
I wan to put him in my main team, but if he dont do well. his worth of 2.55 point, meaning i cannot trade for another player if he didnt do well this week.

He probably has a solid shot at winning at least one game. Haven't really seen Billowy aka Lure play in a while either. Plus Creator has struggled in PvT in HoTS
