Old Updates + Show Spoiler +Week SevenWeek Six- Tandongho was made untradeable to anti-team.

Week ThreeWeek Two- The first round of trading is now open.
- Lead-off players for Week Two have yet to be announced.

- Fenix has been added to the F.United roster.
Rules for posting:
1. Put a spoiler tag around your team lineup. 2. Posts must include some discussion about your team or must be a general discussion. Posting your team and that's it is boring and uninteresting. At least talk about your picks.
Example: Team Pandakins + Show Spoiler +Main Team2 Ace This guy has been underperforming. For 2 points, I can see him doing really well. 4 GuMiho My expensive pick but I think he will do excellent. 1 HuK Only 1 point because he's on such a huge team, however, he has some really good builds. 4 InCa Pvp sniper. Basically free points. 8 LosirA He is the #2 zerg imo after nestea.Will play a lot of games. 8 NesTea (captain) He is my captain but he is also the ace. I think IM will have to use him regularly. 2 TheBest I had 2 points, not sure who else to pick. 2 TheStC Guy is underrated. Worth it. 5 Old GenerationS I see them winning the gstl this time around. [red]Anti Team4 Curious4 FruitDealer5 GanZi I chose this team because 1. I believe that Ace is a great player for only 2 points. Gumiho is sometimes random which I believe he will use in the team league. Huk is a steal at 1 point, even though he is on a huge team. I doesn't like fruitdealers chances, he hasn't played very well lately.

Some thoughts for discussion
1. Is MMA really worth 9 points? He won mlg but was knocked into code A by huk. 2. With the more competitive league will teams use more code S players or will they still use relatively unknown snipers. Who are the best snipers? [For example, I chose inca because he is the ultimate pvp sniper.]

Word up, I'm not posting my team cuz... you know, I wanna win, and I can't give away any tips yo.
I'll say one hint though.
CHECK. THE. SCHEDULE.

Ok well since I guess it'll be moved, might as well put mine here now
+ Show Spoiler +On June 20 2011 15:20 Zlasher wrote:ZlasherMain Team5 Alicia+ Show Spoiler +Slayers clan picks are high value, since their team performs quite well which can give +1 points just for each round. Alicia is their best protoss and many maps favor protoss's as well. He should see plenty of play time and get a decent win rate. 3 Keen+ Show Spoiler + for 3 points he is too high value of a pick for just 3 points, nuf said 4 NaNiwa+ Show Spoiler +Difficult to pick, might be an emotional pick, since the coach may not want to put out the foreigners often, but Naniwa just has a great style of play for the GSTL in my opinion 6 Ryung (captain) + Show Spoiler + Same with Alicia, high value for his team name, and has shown strong results when gameplanning situations 3 Seed+ Show Spoiler +He is IM's protoss sniper for sure, extremely great value given his performance last few GSTL's, and he plays for IM so should garner points there as well 4 Squirtle+ Show Spoiler + Doesn't get enough credit for his team, which usually puts him out so he gets play time, and is a strong player who gets put out often, since he's nto the best on his team, but a great starter 2 ViOlet+ Show Spoiler +He's a great player, 2 points is too high value, and he's on a good team 3 Virus+ Show Spoiler + strong 3 point player as well. 6 SlayerS+ Show Spoiler +IM costs too much, but Slayers is about right, and fair value, its either them or MVP for best team to pick for value Anti Team4 FruitDealer+ Show Spoiler +Dude..FD is terrible, I called him losing to Thorzain in TSL, He's shown zero performances since his GSL win which was open season 1 and really proves nothing a year later. For 4 points he's instant anti 5 GuineaPig+ Show Spoiler + I got to have a 5 pointer in anti team, and guineapig is an average player at best. Pretty easy anti team pick 4 InCa+ Show Spoiler + He's always been completely all-in against Terrans, and a PvP bonjwa. His PvZ is absolutely god awful, but I would never expect to see him string more than 1 win at a time in GSTL, if he's even picked to snipe a protoss. For 4 points, he rounds out the team. All my explanations in spoiler tags, read them if you so choose.

fine, I can't resist giving another hint.
Check who got through the recent Code-A qualifiers.
DongRaeGu has gotten knocked out of Code-A qualifiers like four times now, the guys who make it out are GOOD.
|
+ Show Spoiler +
Im going for 3 superstars (MC, bomber and DRG) and some rising stars. oGsHERO at 1 point, total steal. he is really good beating DRG to qualify for code a. BBoongBboong looked good in the last GSTL. Taeja got an all kill. Jooktoo looks good in last gsl. Soccer could have potential also almost guaranteed to play every time. MVP seems to be a team on the rise.
FD and trickster just seems meh. Rainbow is not good.

Already predicting that Hero will be the most used person in the league. Second toss in the oGs line-up, will more than likely see time early and often, has loads of potential, and is only 1 point.
|
+ Show Spoiler +
I have no doubt in my mind that Losira/DRG will be the all-stars of the GSTL once again. They play very well under pressure and are solid in at least 2/3 match-ups. Twilight on any other team would be a waste of a pickup but seeing as he's on FXO, it would seem as if him/sheth will be their ace so he should see a lot of playing time. Taeja was an instant pick up for only 2 points with the way he played last GSTL and in the CoTH. Gumiho and Guineapig did well enough last GSTL and I think they will continue to play at a similar level. We haven't seen much of BBonong and Hero but they have had semi-decent results outside of the GSL tournaments and they seemed like good choices for only 1 point a piece.

Also a whole lot of people will be out of the running from the start because they'll be picking F.United players. They aren't scheduled to play till Week 6, so if you have them on your team, they're just taking up space till they then.
None of them are very high, so I would just trade down for people like Naniwa and Thorzain when all their games start coming.

Well here is the winning lineup, go ahead try to cheat off me, wont do ya any good! + Show Spoiler +
So my strategy was to pick a few guys that look cool, and then some random names, then i clicked send and this was the team i came up with. I like LosirA as captain, because if i was stranded on a Overlord in the ocean, i would put him in command of the vessel to take me home safely.

+ Show Spoiler +
Having a bunch of middle weights is the best way to play fantasy ![](/mirror/smilies/clown.gif)
lyn and rainbow seem to be obvious choices for anti-team. GuineaPig stinky too. These guys will tear up! Obvious SlayerS choice for mainteam.

+ Show Spoiler +
going MMA really hurt my ability to pick more players I wanted, but based on prior GSTL usage, as well as knowing that FXO is going to have to play sheth and twilight more often than not. I think my team will be solid. I just hope MMA's lost in ST won't hurt his confidence in the GSTL. as for my anti team. ensnare, killer, and trickster are easy picks, ensnare has never played, killer and trickster are choke artists.

My team with detailed analysis: + Show Spoiler +Gonna be providing analysis on why I chose every player, hopefully that's okay. AscensionMain Team5 AliciaObviously if you pick a few players from the same team, there's a decent chance that they won't all be played, which is wasted points. Alicia was only 5 points and is the best Protoss on SlayerS, so it's likely he'll play every week, not to mention he's good. I felt he was a value pick here. 1 BBoongBBoongBBoongBBoong played well last GSTL and I think he can repeat. He was only 1 point and I figured he'd pick up a few games here. There are plenty of worse players that are 2/3 points. 5 GuineaPigRandom players are such an asset in a team league, and GuineaPig performed amazingly well in the last GSTL, he's no doubt going to do well. He's probably the best Random in the world. 2 HwangSinWell, he's on the same team as GuineaPig, but HwangSin is clearly a strong up-and-coming player and I figured he'd be somewhat of a surprise. Bit of a risk here, but he's a solid player, hopefully he gets to play. 9 MC (captain) There are many incredible top Terrans in Korea however their performances can be up and down. MC has cemented his position as the best Protoss in the world and he's definitely oGs' ace. I'm sure he'll be played late to sweep up for oGs and will probably justify his high cost. Captain because I'm not giving him away for sure! 2 QxcHe's a risk, but he's also cheap and he took DongRaeGu to a 68 minute game in the Code A qualifiers. I think he's stronger than Sheth and Oz for FXO right now and I'm sure with the hard practice he's being doing that he'll pick up some wins. 7 sCI needed a player from fOu, and I wasn't too familiar with their B-teamers, and I had some points to spare, so why not sC? He's never been the best, but he's seemingly pretty consistent, so I suppose this was a decent decision. 1 SocceRFOX has so few players, SocceR was 1 point, and he managed to get through the brutal Code A qualifiers, so yeah, value pick right here. 4 MVPWhat can I say? They did great last GSTL and this should be no different. At only 4 points, this was a no brainer. Anti Team4 InCaNot that great. I think he's likely to get played by oGs, and that he's likely to lose. 5 JulyAn awesome guy, but he strikes me as a player that does better with preparation than an opponent than in a team league style. Might be wrong, I just don't expect him to do that well. 5 MoonHe's going to get played, and he's shown that he is not at the caliber of other Koreans. This was a pretty obvious decision, I certainly don't dislike him, WC3 represent. That's my team, hopefully they do good!

I can't tell if your first sentence is serious. You do realize that all the teams play the same number of matches, right?

I don't see why this matters? Players values go down as their teams play, so you probably won't be able to trade just about anyone short of MC/MMA/etc for naniwa/thorzain by the time they are about to play.

But you can trade players. If you couldn't trade players, then yeah, there would be zero difference. With the whole trading concept in the Fantasy League, you really don't want to have players on your team who won't be picking up any points for six weeks.

I'm gonna enjoy it when we're a few seasons in, and the sub-game of "pick the lowest scoring team" emerges.
|
I really only had one interesting choice: Something tells me QXC reaaaly want some results in korea, he hast to have been practicing hardcore for this and judging by the games he played in the code A qualifiers, I can see him winning more than a few games. Also, because of his ability to play against zerg, I think he will be used as FXO's zerg sniper, and with power-houses like losira and DRG likely to be racking up streaks, QXC might bring in some of those streak breaker bonus points. At 2 points I had to include him.
