Main Team 4 ByuL 4 Genius 7 MarineKing (captain) 5 Maru 4 Mvp 3 NesTea 3 Ruin 4 San 2 [tlpd#teams##sc2-korean]PRIME[/tlpd]
Anti Team 6 Ryung 3 SortOf 4 Sting
Main:
MKP should play every single match for his team, which I think is significantly undervalued at 2. Ideally, I would like to have chosen LG-IM due to both their showing in the preseason, and their players' recent successes. Life is obviously a desired pick, but for the same reason I chose Prime over LG-IM (cost), he's simply too much to make the rest of the team work. As a sort of compromise, I decided to choose a bunch of LG-IM players, mainly because of their ability to pick up points while not playing but winning and still having the opportunity to play. I think I'll likely trade Ruin after this week, lightening the LG-IM load, but hopefully his value will go up after a win over Lucky and I'll be able to get something from it (this is a gamble). Mvp looks fantastic, and will likely come out as ace, but this is LG-IM, so who has a clue? Nestea is thrown in, not because he's Nestea, but because he's a 3 point player on LG-IM. Byul is also an LG-IM and has been talked up by a bunch of people in the Korean scene. Again, LG-IM.
Maru, Genius, and San also looked good in the beta and in the preseason, and not much having been heard of them since makes their selections risky. I do, however, think they, will play nearly every match for their teams (with Creator, Byun, and MKP and viOLet and probably Supernova and Symbol respectively). Also, say what you will about balance, they don't play Zerg.
Just edited my anti team when I noticed Sting was at 4 cost. I have no clue how that guy wins, as I notice him supply blocked more than any other pro around. He still wins against foreigners at IEMs, but I don't think he's going to be able to stand up against top Koreans in the GSTL. SortOf goes hand in hand with him, as I think NSH will finish last and due to the partnership, neither is guaranteed to even appear all the time. Although I like Ryung, I have a hunch that AA will bomb out. Ryung will likely play every match, but the other 6's are so non-palatable to me, that Ryung has to be the guy.
Overall thoughts?
EDIT: Subject to change, depending if I come to my senses about AA or notice any easy swap outs etc.
EDIT 2: Have since swapped Maru for Tear. Tear will always play on the two time defending champs (albeit in WoL) and is always said to be their top in house guy. He's usually also their middle player of their three headed monster.

DongRaeGu because I have too. Genius and Ruin because they looked good in Pre-season. Keen and Madbull because theyre badasses. TheBest and JKS because I needed someone. Monster because he's going to have an amazing start to HotS. MVP because I have too.
For Anti-Team. I chose IM players because theyre roster is so deep it might hurt some individuals and Mvp never seems to play. Sting is still on NSH?

Anti Team 4 Heart 5 Hurricane(Tear) 4 Scarlett
I was going to just stack my main team with Prime and IM players but stopped myself because all kill format that many might not get to play as much so I switched in a couple different players, but as you can see the core is still Prime and IM players. MC, MVP and Yoda have all looked very solid in HotS at IEM and MLG. I took lucky because he is starting against Ruin and I don't think Ruin will win... Depending on how he looks during the games I may drop him quickly. Zero is the oblig 1 point maybe ST can win some matches and get me points pick.
Team is Prime I think they are extremely under rated at two points and quite the steal really.
My anti team, I don't think Scarlett is nearly as good as the hype and is way over rated at 4 points. Tear and Heart seemed to be the weakest players at their point value imo Though they could come back to kill me we shall see!

MVP has been looking pretty damn dominant in HotS from what I've seen! You might regret that anti team pick. Don't forget even if they don't play.. if the team wins they still points! That will be -2 points every time IM wins at bare minimum.

Main Team 6 Bomber (captain) 4 Genius 4 Kangho(LosirA) 3 Lucky 5 SuperNova 1 Tible(EllenKey) 3 TREME 6 YoDa 4 [tlpd#teams##sc2-korean]StarTale[/tlpd]
Anti Team 4 JKS 6 MMA 3 TheBest
Bomber, Supernova, Kangho, Genius, Yoda, and Lucky are all fairly strong mainstays on each of their respective teams and I see a lot of playtime for them. BSGY&L are all either the best or second-best players of that race on their respective teams, and while Kangho does have to compete with Nestea and ByuL, I don't see Nestea getting sent out a lot and ByuL is a bit of a mystery.
Tible I picked because he showed some promise in preseason, and seeing as how NSHoseo doesn't have a vast pool of players, he will probably be sent out a lot. TREME and Brain are the only two notable protoss players on ST at the moment (CURSE YOU SQUIRTING), and TREME has been the better of the two, so no-brainer there. Startale the team still has at least 3 gosu players (Curious, Life, Bomber) and with the all-kill format Life can do work ^^.
The only player on my anti that i'm nervous about is MMA. He's a bit of a mystery, but JKS/TheBest are probably going to be seen exactly 0 times in the booth. With Leenock&Lucky, as well as sC/Gumiho, those two have some stiff competition for lineup space. While TheBest could theoretically be sent out (as he's the only other notable terran on FXO), his sharp decline in results after many years ago makes me feel like he's a safe choice to never win.
GLHF Everybody!

Just a tip, you will probably want to swap any of those players out for a someone who will not play much or is a very low cost. You're allowed to make your combined anti-team total as low as 13, so don't be afraid to drop one of those monsters for someone not nearly as good.

The biggest factor that might make or break my fantasy team is David Kim. Basing my team on perceived game imbalances, I made my main team almost completely Terran, and my anti-team completely Zerg. Don't fail me Blizzard balance team. ![](/mirror/smilies/puh2.gif)

Lol yeah, make sure you understand how anti-team works, as you only need 13.

Main Team 9 Life (Captian) 5 Squirtle 6 Bomber 3 Noblesse 2 Golden 2 Sleep 3 Lucky 2 TOP 4 StarTale
Anti Team 4 Heart 7 MarineKing 2 InCa
Had a harder time with the main team trying to get what I wanted, but I feel that I got mostly what I wanted. Yes, I went full fanboy with Life but I feel like he is a valuable asset to the team. Then I feel comfortable with Bomber, Squirtle, Sleep, and Noblesse because they have done well in the past from what I have seen of them. The only two one the team I feel questionable about are Lucky and Golden (though mainly Golden because I haven't seen him play in forever.)
Then I choose my team as StarTale as I feel like they have a good team that can contend in the GSTL (or so I believe) especially with Life, Bomber, and Curious. On that front I guess I will see how well I do.
As for the anti-team I have chosen Heart and InCa because I feel like they rely on some cheesier builds to get wins which I think will end up back firing on them in the end. Then I went ambiguous with MKP because I felt like it would make things more interesting for me (hopefully it doesn't come back and haunt me.)

Anti Team 4 Genius 5 Hurricane(Tear) 6 MMA
I found it really hard to settle on a final team in a way. Jjakji was always going to be my captain I think he will dominate this season of GSTL. Byun is solid and so is Losira in terms of team league, Losira getting a good few all kills in his day and Byun always being good for at least 1 or 2 wins when he is sent out. I felt Lucky could be a strong pick if memory serves me right. Sparta looked pretty good in WoL so I guess he can do well in HoTS. Miya can make or break the team for me, I know he will get games but if he isn't in good condition im pretty fucked. All of those were pretty cheap so then actually I found myself with points left over in the end so had enough for Squirtle.
As for my anti team Genius ive never been a fan of and has fallen off as of late. Tear isn't really amazing. MMA is one that could fuck me over too, he is going to be the ace of AX/Acer probably and terran is strong in HoTS so it could come back to bite me in the ass. Only time will tell but hopefully it will turn out well.
