Why is isn't anti-teaming Super and Creator? They will probably get to play almost every game, and even if they end up being mediocre, chances are they'll win a few like last round. Plus they are the aces of their respective teams.

For a 5 pointer anti pick, I only see soO/HerO as a good alternative

However the zerg is likely to be rotated in next week and T1 is supposed to win most of its match AND hes valued at 6 which is harder to be trade out.

HerO did decent last round, winning aces and stuff (but you can always bet on his terrible nerve and his playtime this round)

All in all, it's equally risky for all these 5+pts anti. So pick the one you hate maybe :-P

IM hero is not playing this week so I start with him as my five point anti player and just go on from there.

Thoughts: Sleep should really probably be my captain because he probably won't play and I therefore probably won't be able to trade him out after a good game. But Soulkey. DRG will get me points or he won't. He's like inconsistent. My point getters should be Soulkey, Zest (who can apparently beat anyone) and herO (which like in PvProleague is pretty much a good bet. I mean because his PvP).

anti team: it is surprising to me that so many people are choosing players that play TWICE in the first week for their anti teams. All of my guys are decent, and there are definitely players that are significantly more overvalued, but because STIM has so much depth I can probably trade them out slowly if the line ups look dicey.

aaaand the new team done now lineups are out.

HerO out for Zest, with IM's deep lineup I was worried HerO wasn't going to get playtime this week, how right I was. With Zest being on fire and playing twice this week I feel he's going to net me a good chunk of points.

State out for Fantasy, it pains me to do so but with State yet to get his PL debut and Fantasy playing twice for SKT this week for a mere 2 points means this is pretty much a no brainer.

Who to replace Terminator with was an incredibly difficult decision to make. I had three shortlisted: Stork, Cure and Hurricane as they all play twice this week. Settled on Hurricane just because I feel he has a chance to win against Sora whereas Stork has herO and Flash to face and Cure has herO and TY, herO has been on fire in individual tournaments so far and hopefully this carries over to PL now and Flash and TY are just too damn good right now.

Jin Air out for IM, not only did I get an extra point out of this to get Fantasy but overall I'm looking to not trade teams if possible and I just feel STIM is an overall better pick this time round cause that depth is insane and I feel they're play-off material this time round.

Now the anti-team, the one thing I'm overly cautious about after the buttfucking I got from RorO and Flash last round. With DRG playing against KassiA, I feel he has the edge in that match so cutting my losses now and throwing Sniper in my anti just because he isn't playing as of yet.

With Stats playing too, again I wanted to cut my losses and minimise point loss very early on, so switching for soO who isn't in SKT's lineup for the week.

woah, missed soO being worth 6 points...maybe I'll change my anti. RorO was bound to find a way to fuck me anyway.

Flash but he's too freaking expensive and (T)

Maru might give him trouble in the first week. Hydra hasn't been doing that awesome lately but look back a bit into 2013 and he was solid....we'll see if I keep him after today's Code S.... Dropped Hydra after today's Code S -> chose (P)

Sora instead. Also, welcome back (T)

Dragons Reborn

Main Team
2 (T)

Bbyong - Solid terran, Ro16 Code S, probably the best 2 pointer. Could be Fanta, but I think Bbyong has more chance to beat sOs than Fanta has to beat Life.
3 (T)

Dream - Another pretty solid terran for 3 points. Is playing mirror matchup against LoL player. Don't expect him to lose...
7 (P)

herO[jOin] (captain) - dat smile!
4 (Z)

Hydra - He was pretty bad last round, which means he will be the best zerg this round. The history tells us so. Also plays 2 ZvZs which I believe he could win after beating Symbol in Code S.
5 (Z)

Rogue(Savage) - Solid zerg for solid price. I trust in our prophet Major.
6 (P)

Zest - Very good player, matchups that he could win. I believe!
3

CJ Entus - they will just do much better this round than the last one...

Anti Team
3 (T)

Mvp - lol
4 (Z)

Shine - not playing in first 2 matches, costing 4 points. deal.
6 (Z)

soO - 6 pointer not playing in first 2 matches AND being on SKT. deal times two.

Possible Changes
Still thinking about switching (T)

Bbyong/

FanTaSy. Most probably won't do that though.
Also thinking about switching (T)

Bbyong +

Zest for

DRG +

Creator. There are pluses and minuses to that. DRG should win the first match and could be the ace player. Creator's first match is coin flip. But he is an ace without a doubt. On the other hand, I doubt those two will win as consistently and they won't bring any team points as they are on 2 worst teams in the league.
