How do captains decide ties, is it just whoever's captain has earned more points total? Also, what are all the different tiebreakers if both teams have the same captain? That's an interesting scenario, but I imagine it would relatively rare. In which case, is that when we call Hellspawn to bring forth The Coin?
Huh, given that 1500 teams have already signed up and a lot of people are picking from a small group of favorites to be their captain (Innovation, Life, etc.) I would expect ties to happen pretty often.

Hmm, just a bit of advice, I wouldn't expect to see Sorry until later in the round so I might pick another three pointer for now, or if you just want SKT points go with billowy or dynamite since they're cheaper. (take this with a grain of salt, I usually make bad decisions like this :D) The thing is though, I'm not even sure who would be worth it at 3 points. I have no faith in HerO and KeeN is a total wild card and matched up against Dream in set 4. And if I took Billowy or Dynamite for 2 points I have no idea what I would use the extra point for. I'll take all the advice I can get, though, as notoriously bad as it may be 
If you dropped Has you would be able to afford both billowy and Dynamite. Then you could trade Has back in later if it looks like he is going to play.

I think I'm almost finished tweaking my team.
Would people say there is any hope for aLive this coming match?
Who's the best $2 zerg?

Losira is totally favored against aLive but not significantly. He had a great round 1, but he tends to be wildly inconsistent. Wouldn't put aLive on main team but not anti either.
Best 2 point Zerg is a toss up between Ragnarok, Symbol, and Armani.
Armani is the most likely to play this round. Symbol is on the team most likely to win in week 1 but is the least likely of the 3 to play. Ragnarok is somewhere in between.
I'd pick up Symbol for the Jin Air point and then trade him down the line.

 doesnt matter because every round comes down to who makes the better trades. nowadays everyone is really good at finding the most efficient picks so alot of the opening week teams are very similar.

yeah starting teams are similar because everyone expects the same players to do well. plus everyone picks players that play week 1. but predicting who's actually going to play most of the round, who's going to suck, and who's going to skyrocket is what makes the winner.

The Dream Team Part 2
Main Team
8 Bbyong
4 Dream (captain)
3 Hurricane
6 Rogue
5 soO
2 Sora
2 Prime
Anti Team
2 TaeJa
4 TY
7 Yonghwa
Really hard choices this round, especially since I always follow within the lines I set for myself (I always pick the players and teams that I really like, and anti the ones I don't like as much). Almost anti'd Flash, but the math made me decide otherwise (and maybe dodged me a bullet)

Ok this is probably my final team
CJ Galaxy Rolster Wings
Main Team
7 ByuL
6 Flash
6 Rogue
2 Sora
6 Stats
1 Stork (captain)
2 MVP
Anti Team
5 Classic
4 Hush
4 sKyHigh
After a bunch of rounds of passing on ByuL and getting burnt because of it I decided to pick him. He's been way too consistent in Proleague and always gets playing time. Flash at 6 is a no brainer to me, even after his horrible showing last round. He's got way too much upside. Rogue and Stats, like ByuL, were picked because of their consistency. I decided on Sora over Trap for my 2pt Protoss since Jin Air has the clearer go-to 4 man lineup with Maru/sOs/Rogue/Cure opposed to herO/ByuL/Bbyong/? Lastly, picked Stork since it's Stork, and because there weren't any 1pters on SKT/KT/JIN/CJ.

Alternative zergs for that value are Sleep, Action, PenguiN, and Terror.
Sleep and Action barely ever got play time even before the arrival of Life and First. You really think it's going to get better now?
PenguiN seems like the weakest Zerg on KT. Doubt he's coming off the bench.
and Terror...rofl
Meanwhile:
Armani has been on the ups for awhile. He just needs to get over those offline nerves. Stork is bound to send him.
Symbol is historically a very strong Zerg who's on a small upswing lately. If nothing else, Jin Air will probably win more than KT and definitely SGK.
Then there's Ragnarok, the only other CJ Zerg who could easily be in the 4th CJ spot.
So it's 3 guys who could see play time and maybe win vs guys who likely aren't getting a single win between the 4 of them.

My excuse is that I haven't really followed PL lately and don't know shit. Then again, following PL hasn't helped me before. I made a no trading group if anyone wants join since I can't really commit to this. Something about Bbyong has always felt pretty meh to me so I picked him in anti + some guys who shouldn't play? Does Stork no longer play or why is he 1 point? He took some wins like a year ago?
how do i join said group?

return to form
Main Team
8 Dark
4 Dream
6 Flash (captain)
6 Solar
2 Sora
2 Trap
2 Samsung Galaxy
Anti Team
5 Classic
4 sKyHigh
4 TY
As long as Solar and Flash regain even half of their prior skills, the pick pays off imo. Adding Dark lets me have a full 3 potential aces on the team. Dream is good for the price, and although I usually prefer to spread out my picks between teams, I'm fine with two from SKT considering how favored they are. Trap and Sora are cheap and both play PvPs, so a decent chance of winning even against better players. I am also banking on Samsung really turning around their performance from last round.
Anti was very tricky; although none of them play the first week, they all are potential starters (except maybe sKyHigh), and on strong teams so they'll get a decent amount of teamwin points. Other option would have been Cure/3pts/3pts, but he's even more likely to get fielded at some point (5-2 last round, best record on JinAir), at which point his higher point value makes trading more difficult. Also, he was even sent as an ace once last round; a surprise ace appearance is not totally out of the question. There's absolutely no way TY/sKyHigh/Classic gets sent as ace.
