What an excruciating break! Everybody loves team league, and Starcraft 2's biggest league is back for 2015. Last year,
Maru earned the distinction of having the most wins, though the 2014 season will forever be remembered as PvProleague. With an entirely new meta and a changing landscape (the team with the most terrans wins, according to 
Zest), will we see a bunch of new faces rise to prominence? Many are citing players like sKyHigh, 
Dark and Rogue as sleeper picks, while aces like Flash, herO[jOin] and sOs will likely be picked by many. It's promising to be a chaotic—and hence, fun—season of Proleague with the many new faces and departed big names. Do you have the savvy to rise to the top and earn some eSports dollars?
Here are some important facts to know going into the new season:
- Week 1 starters and maps will be announced... tomorrow, probably. Or soon. Probably.
- Round 1 will be the standard Proleague format. See the scoring section for more info.
- You can find more info about scheduling here
- Matches will be played Mondays and Tuesdays.
- There will be 7 weeks of play.
- Trading a team now incurs a -1 trade tax penalty.
- Joining a group is now available from the group standings page (so you can link people to your group).
- You can find the final Round 1 rosters here
How to Play
- You choose 6 players and 1 Pro Team that score you points when they play well.
- You pick 3 players for your Anti-team as well. You lose points when they play well.
- Players and teams can be traded between weeks for those valued less than them.

Team Selection
Main Team
+ Show Spoiler [Click to Show] +
- Pick 6 players for your Main Team, including a captain who will be a tiebreaker
- Pick 1 Proleague team (i.e. MVP, CJ, SKT, etc.)
- You cannot trade your captain (more on trading later)
- Your 6 players and 1 Proleague team cannot exceed 30 points in cost
- Your Main Team must contain at least one of each race at all times
Anti Team
+ Show Spoiler [Click to Show] +
- Pick 3 players for your Anti Team
- These players score points like Main Team players, but their score counts against you
- Your Anti Team must have a value of at least 13 points (minimum)
Basic Team Selection Strategy
+ Show Spoiler [Click to Show] +
- Pick players for your Main Team who you believe will exceed their point value from before (underrated or rising players)
- Pick players for your Anti Team who you believe will do worse than they did previously (overrated or slumping players)
- Designate as Captain a player who you believe will be a lock to be good throughout the season, because you can't trade him
Trading
Trading Rules
+ Show Spoiler [Click to Show] +
- Each week you can trade players (swap a player for someone you don't have)
- Every player has a trade value, and you can only trade for players of lower value
- You will be limited to a maximum 2 Main Team and 1 Anti Team trades per week
- Trades do not carry over if unused
- Each time you trade, your team will be assessed a -1 point trade tax
- Trading teams will incur a -1 trade tax
Basic Trading Strategy
+ Show Spoiler [Click to Show] +
- Check lineups each week! Players facing weak teams are generally more valuable.
- Don't make trades just for sake of making trades, as they cost you trade tax points and you may get stuck with a player you don't want
- The trade price formula takes into account number of matches remaining -- so players with more matches remaining will have higher prices
- You must trade for players with less value, but try to minimize the value loss. For example, if you trade someone worth 30 for someone worth 20, next week you can only trade the 20 for someone less. It's much better to trade the 30 for someone worth 29.
Groups
You will be able to create and join groups so you can compare your results with a smaller subset of the players, for example there might be a Staff Group, a First Time FPL Group, a USA Players Group, or a group created by you with just your friends.
