Bisu has been added and is available for teams.

+ Show Spoiler [OLD INFO] +

Quick note about Bisu. He has returned to SKT but we are waiting until the lineups come out before estimating his price. He will be available for selection as soon as lineups come out in the next few days, before PL starts this weekend.

Rofl, Flash at 12. I want to buy him but holy crap. What would he have to score to make up that price? As I don't see him getting too many ace matches even if he wins 90% of his games.

No, its no longer possible to gain from your anti. It was kind of a mythic dream anyway, very few people gained from their anti when it was possible, so the best strategy was still to pick those that didn't lay. Perhaps we'll try to change this next season.

Flash is 12 points! You gotta be a pretty hardcore Flash fan to take him. I'll experiment a bit to see whether it is possible to fit him in without drastic steps such as taking a 0 point player...

Wow....I don't think it's possible to make an anti without having at least one of them play an ace match =(

Just pick Effort and Skyhigh, thats 12 points right there. CJ won't be playing many ace matches, i feel. And then just pick a random ACE player.

CJ's much stronger in the regular season, that seems like a really risky move considering both players will play almost every game.

i wish effort were cheaper, since he is slumping...

7 points is a high risk

Haha that season I gained 4 points off Ruby for having him on my anti. I think putting Skyhigh and Effort both on your anti-team is very high risk. I prefer to hedge.

My anti is looking like:
Jangbi - 6
Modesty - 3
Hoejja - 4

I think Jangbi is definitely worth less than 6 points. He's a lot less likely to play Ace match than Stork or even FBH.
Modesty is pretty bad, got some fluke wins and is a ZvZ sniper, which is my only fear that he'll snipe Calm or Effort or Jaedong in an ace match [Edit] Not calm my bad
Hoejja is the worst 4 pointer, will get KT points but otherwise I don't expect much from him.

Luxury is priced at 2 this season, seems like a cheap pick. I know about the Luxury Chaos Theory that was posted by Hot Bid, and that I picked him up only for the team win component. He went 2-2 in Winner's League, so it was not up or down.

What are your predictions for Luxury this season?

Hm, picking players after WL inflation/deflation is always tricky. This is going to occupy a lot of my time lol

i definitely like your anti team idea, but a better choice then modesty is jaehoon (3 points is a lot for a guy that SUCKS)

I love Hoejja to death, but going through the list, he seems like the easiest AT pick.

I actually put Skyhigh on my main for my first draft because he's pretty much guaranteed to be played. Same with Hiya and Great.

Why is there so few 5 pointers this round??

I also noticed....Stars is ridiculously under-priced, IMO

I think Modesty is a better AT pick just because he competes with Calm and Hero for a spot on the roster, where as Jaehoon, although shitty, might very well be MBC's best Protoss and more likely to play
