will you keep soulkey on your main and shine on your anti? I have the same situation and will probably trade both, but you are more successful so i thought i ask^^

no, my only option is to trade sk for roro (hes my only zerg so i cant trade him for rain etc.) and then trade either hurricane/keen for someone (most likely hurricane for bbyong which i hate doing). im trading shine for turn because i expect khan to lose twice this week and turn isnt likely to play in the future, but you should probably trade him for keen
Go Prime! Almost beat SKT1 so CJ shouldn't be too hard. Wish Choya was replaced by a Zerg Kassia or Departure or even Byun. At least State gets to play as an official Prime player! :D
GL HF to all the teams. LOL At Samsung's first match lineup.
Welp my FPL is pretty disappointed with these bizarre lineups... I could maybe understand Life not playing, but why bench freaking STORK twice?? I just don't think Shine, Armani, or Reality really deserve a spot over him at all... Not to mention Fantasy and Trap only playing once... Only upshot is that even though soO plays, it's vs Maru so I think I can afford to keep him anti and just do main team trades. Solar looks kinda cheap and he plays twice so maybe I'll pick him up (and hope he stops sucking).
Outside of FPL, it's really funny to see a one-race lineup, and I'm happy to see more of State (unless Prime gets swept lol), hopefully it means his skill is increasing nicely and he can show some good games ^^
I really appreciate the caliber of players we see on every day of proleague. I wonder if sOs can have his breakthrough in proleague despite the tough opponents he has to face this week.
For those agonizing about how Soulkey is their captain, he may still pop out in the ace match like how Rain was the ace against Prime despite not being on the regular lineup. We'll never know with Oov's sneaky tactics.

Sorry but PartinG might atm honestly be the best Protoss in the world, so putting him on Antiteam is, I'd say, pretty dumb. I have Flash on anti, which didn't really work well for me HAHA, but PartinG on Anti is even more ballsy^^

SKT will 3-0 JinAir and 3-1 Samsung though.

Felt similarly last week when I wanted to trade Rain for Soulkey but couldn't because he was my captain. Soulkey's losses and Rain's ace win made it good for me though :D.
Damn it, I have Soulkey registered as my Captain this round and I wanted to get rid of him. Even if it goes to the Ace Match, that means that SKT1 is getting less points for me as a whole since I have T1 listed as my team.

Dude, anti teams are about making statements! That said, I like the Soulkey trade so going for it cause, hey, I can always hate on Parting from a distance and boo him when he tries to micro. No reason to give him a chance for 2 wins + Ace in the same week. I would say though man that Flash on anti is way way way crazier. He plays all the time, ALL the time. Parting is one out of a big bunch of guys, plays every other week-ish and honestly, if Zest hadn't been such a manly man last season no way Flash would not take all the ace matches.
Damn! I would love to see Maru aka "Battering Ram Terran" against Rain or Parting in JinAir vs SKT-T1 match. His TvP in Code S Ro16 was so intense and fun to watch
I'm this close to trading with my heart and putting State on my team...but his trade value is so low, if it turns out to be a mistake it's literally inreversible.

no offense to State but he's simply not ready, I mean face the facts as for Choya, need I even say anything?
sigh, I guess I'll take the bait.
Face the facts about State? Sure. He's played one match and got cheesed and couldn't hold it. If you logic is a player who loses to cheese can't compete in Proleague I'm just going to assume you've never watched it. As for Choya, I'm not really sure the logic there, as he kind of got rolled in his first match and they could have used Jila. MarineKing and Creator are solid choices to send out so no worries there.

Creator -> Flash Zest -> Maru Fantasy -> Hydra DRG -> Solar
Hmmmmmmmmmm, got about 36 hours to think about it.
If I were you, I would go Creator -> Flash and Fantasy -> Hydra.
Maru plays against soO who has good vT, whereas Zest has Swagger who is not that good, so that trade is risky.
DRG will probably lose to flash, but he is MVP's best palyer and ace, and has a decent record considering the difficulty of his games so far. He will be useful at the last 2 weeks. On the other hand, Solar is not confirmed to win as his opponents Byul and Rain are aces for their respective teams, and extremely dangerous.
edit: I'm just 1 spot above you in the rankings haha, I should give you shit advice to prevent you from surpassing me

Haha. It's funny because I'm thinking of doing the opposite of what you told me. Using my 2 trades to get Solar and to get Maru.
Basically, DRG "should" lose against Flash and realistically even if DRG won, I just can't see KT losing. I see them either winning 3-0 or 3-1. I like having DRG because I believe he's the main Ace for MVP if they can make it to the ace match, but as I said, I don't see them doing it this week. Maybe I'll try to get DRG again after this week but at the moment, thinking of getting rid of him for Solar. Solar does have some hard matchups as you said (Byul and Rain) but he still gets the appearance bonus and he has been sent out as an Ace before, so there's still a chance of him getting massive points. I do agree with you that DRG is going to be amazing the last 2 weeks, so maybe I'll have to pick him up again next week.
Also, grabbing Maru for Zest (although I'm still not 100% sure about this) because Jin Air plays twice this week and twice next, Maru will get fielded 100% of the time (at least he should) where as KT only has 1 game this week and 1 next week. Maru also has a high chance of getting sent in as an Ace, which is win win.
I still think I'd rather have Hydra over Fantasy (Hell, I traded Hydra earlier this season for DRG lol) but we'll see what happens. Fantasy plays once this week against Roro which imo would be 50/50.
Also, I do really like Creator. He's still undefeated this round and he always has a huge chance to be played as an Ace.
Ugh, too many choices! Either way, yeah most likely doing DRG -> Solar and Zest -> Maru as my 2 trades this week.
Also, getting rid of Super and picking up Life for my anti team, life doesn't play, win win. Although, it's a bit risky because Life could easily get sent in as an Ace. :\

Oh wow I was complaining about needing to trade away Life from my main since he doesn't play at all, but for some reason didn't consider buying him for anti. Only issue with that is that my highest anti player atm is soO, he's a good bit lower in value than Life, and long term I still think soO will get less playing time. Stork is closer in value but I kinda expected him to play every match, no idea wtf the samsung coach was thinking this week. I'll probably just hope Maru crushes soO (JinAir sweeping SKT would also be sweet, though pretty unlikely)
I also kinda want to jump off the Creator bandwagon (heresy for a Prime fan, I know) to pick up a more solid ace like Flash or Maru but I used up all my main team trades getting rid of players that don't play at all At least there's a chance for Prime to take it to the ace match against the weakest Kespa team

I wan to chage him, but he has little option to change
Any plans??
I would have traded him for Reality like the other guy, but he's playing PartinG who's my captain. So I went with State, the Foreign Hope!
I thought Effort could have about 40% chance of winning if he get field out . . . So I add him to my roster, so far he only had 1 win from round 1 and 0 win from round 2, right? And didnt appear in week 3.
Ah...I feel Reality is the only option too... But he is against parting . Parting PvT is very good right?
Any1 esle have Effort in their team and consider trading? If only Effort step up , CJ wont be in bad situation . . (Actually , it is me who wont be in bad situation if he is not in my team . . . )
Why I was soo stupid to make Soulkey captain? I will go with Parting or Rain next time... Also, what do you guys think, should I replace Trap with HerO?

I tink Soulkey is not a bad choice for captain.
I feel players like Parting or Rain will have same chance or even higher chance of perform badly too. .

Well, with his last week performance + the fact, that he's not seeded for any of SKT1 matches this week, he's not that good of a captain T_T. Hell, even FanTaSy would be much better captain this season...

That's why i never make big names my captain, you just can't trade them away if they slump somewhat.

I always have Flash as my Captain. He is never fail captain! Although he is 9 point. He is worth the point.
