I am no king in fantasy this season, but, I vow to make Round 3 a victory for me!
Here are some of my prospects I think are worth the points, to getting yourself a top 10 spot in Round 3!

In no particular order;

1) (P)Horang2

[image loading]


Points earned this round: 9
Games played (as of writing) this round: 1

Dubbed the next (P)Nal_rA/Reincarnation of (P)Nal_rA, (P)Horang2 is one of two Sparkyz Protosses expected to make to make a large impact next round. Breezing through the MST in a tough group consisting of (T)Flash, (Z)GGPlay and (T)Dongrae, watch him being heavily used, rotating with (P)Tazza in the Sparkyz lineup.

2) (P)Tazza

[image loading]


Points earned this round: 6
Games played (as of writing) this round: 3

Less notable than (P)Horang2 but still a nice prospect if you want to pick up a cheap, Protoss player for next season. His only notable victory this round of course being against current top Protoss player (P)Bisu. Watch him surprise many next round. Being the winner of PGL Season 3 should add to his stock value tremendously. As said before, watch him being used and rotated heavily with (P)Horang2, so don't be afraid to select him if you don't think he will appear often.

3) (Z)EffOrt

[image loading]


Points earned this round: 37
Games played (as of writing) this round: 13

Possibly the pivotal replacement CJ were looking for their Maestro after (Z)Kwanro and (Z)Orion failed to show significant results in the Proleague, (Z)EffOrt, although possibly expensive to purchase next season, could be your franchise Zerg to work your team around besides (Z)Jaedong. Although losing to (P)Bisu, the very close game showed that maybe we will see a new Zerg to rival (Z)Jaedong through onto the next year. The only problem point he has? ZvT. If he fixes this out though, he is surely one to pick up if you aren't a fan of Jaedong.

4) (T)sKyHigh


[image loading]


Points earned this round: 25
Games played (as of writing) this round: 9

If you are wondering why the top 10 teams are there, then look no further than the efforts of (T)sKyHigh. The bargain of the season at zero points, he has made crucial wins this season for CJ including against current No.1 Fantasy Player, (T)Leta.
He may cost more when the next round comes around, but he will definitely be worth the points to buy, and his results this round will justify his cost.

5) (Z)hyvaa

[image loading]


Points earned this round: 21
Games played (as of writing) this round: 9

(Z)hyvaa is a reason why eSTRO has been succeeding so well this season. Match him up against someone not S-Class = Auto-win (bar one exception in (P)Movie). He is the fourth best performing Zerg this season, behind (Z)Jaedong, (Z)EffOrt and (Z)July, and, due to the 'Golden Age of Protoss', with Protosses currently prevailing, watch his price be in the 4/5's next round. He should be playing on rotation with (Z)maGma for eSTRO next season.

6) (P)Stats

[image loading]


Points earned this round: 4
Games played (as of writing) this round: 4

You are KTF, you have a reliable Terran in (T)Flash, a reliable Zerg in (Z)Luxury, where are the Protosses at? How do you complete the winning formula? With (P)Tempest in the MSL and (P)LuCifer struggling to bring the numbers in, (P)Stats is expected to carry the Protoss load over at the MagicN camp during the next round. Losing to (Z)EffOrt, (T)Leta and (T)Mind (in a very close game, I might add) is no shame. Although he has a 0-4 record this round, expect him to be confidently be sent out by KTF.

7) eSTRO

[image loading]


Points earned this round: 13
Games played (as of writing) this round: 9

eSTRO has been a large surprise this round. They have finally have appeared to 'clicked' and are now producing results. They have a solid lineup of (T)UpMagiC and (T)Really for Terran, (P)SangHo and (P)Tester for Protoss and (Z)maGma and (Z)hyvaa for Zerg. Add in up and coming players such as (T)Suny, (T)Fancy and (Z)Melon, and you might have yourselves a perennial Proleague playoff birth this season.

8) (Z)ZerO

[image loading]


Points earned this round: 20
Games played (as of writing) this round: 9

If you look at his record this season, it's pretty atrocious. Yes, he lost to a SKT zerg (wow!). Yes he lost to a crappy FOX player. BUT, who else is a good Zerg on Woongjin? Thats where we shall end the argument. It is inevitable that (Z)ZerO will be sent out as the Zerg player for pretty much every game for Woongjin. His win against (T)Sea gives me confidence in his ability. Beating a top Terran like (T)Sea is no easy feat. Expect him to surprise many during Round 3.

9) (T)Casy

[image loading]


Points earned this round: 15
Games played (as of writing) this round: 10

Taking a quick peek at ACE's roster, after the departure of (T)ChRh and (T)BoxeR, ACE has been only left with three Terrans, (T)Casy, (T)ClouD and (T)Sunny. Out of these three, who would you pick to represent your team? (T)Casy is an assured starter for the ever-so-struggling (P)Air Force team. But, match him up with a zerg, you can keep your hopes high that he will bring out a win for the team. His problem though is his TvP. It hindered his success during his prime, and it will most likely hinder his success during his military time. During this Golden Age of Protoss, it is your decision whether to risk taking a horrible TvP'er, or take an excellent TvZ'er.

10) (P)Pure

[image loading]


Points earned this round: 11
Games played (as of writing) this round: 8

FOX needs to make a crucial decision here when R3 starts, stick with (P)Rock? Or move on. (P)Rock is appalling these days, so I would go with the latter. The pretty poster boy for WeMade hasn't got much playtime recently due to (P)Rock and (P)HerO, but I expect him to make more performances for the team next round. Fortunately, he should be able to be bought for cheap.

I'd like to stress that these are personal opinions of mine, and due to my crappy Internet, haven't been able to watch Proleague as much as I could a year or two ago.
I tried to model this out of the College Prospects that ESPN etc do, but I've never really read them so blegh.

Tazza looks evil, go him
Skyhigh and Effort are both pretty established now.
hyvaa is inconsistent, but able to play pretty good at times, kinda like ZerO.
Horang2 is interesting, I'll be watching him closely in the MSL.
Live2Win is awesome. Happy new year scarabi!

Horang2 is like some kid straight from a cliche Anime
He goes to MBCgame Elite School league and the first thing he does is say "I AM GOING TO BE THE 2ND NAL-RA." Next he does an absolutely retarded build and gets 20-30 probe kills with 1 DT and many other stuff. Then he gets recruited by a strong team notorious for having shitty protosses and keeps on training to become the best. Then out of the blue, he DTs Flash better than what Anytime and Bisu can do, then beats GGplay with some classic Daezzang style zealot push.

I have such high hopes for that guy.

hmm, first they called Lucifer the Neo Dreamer, but he got raped by Jaedong and then slumped, lets hope horang2 won't get raped by Jaedong.

yeah i dont play fantasy (maybe i will next time) but i have to agree with you about horang2... guy's played 3 televised matches and has gone 3 and 0, against Flash, GGplay and Pusan... and what the commentator's constantly emphasize is the kid's style

game 1: proxy (at a great location) DT rush against flash
game 2: Pounded GGplay into submission with speedlots
game 3: 2 speed shuttles, speed observers, reaver drop ht drop against pusan

I disagree about a couple of things, namely about Zero being the only Z on Woongjin(GGPlay) and Stats being the Protoss of choice for KTF(Tempest). Otherwise it makes sense, at least to me.

Most of the time Woongjin are going to send out both GGPlay and Zero because they don't really have a Terran and a decent Protoss to back up free.
With Stats, Tempest will have MSL to deal with. If KTF were smart, they would rest up Tempest to prepare him for the MSL and use Stats mainly.

Wonderful list, but with the exception of a few on here, many of those players sadly won't be such a point bargain as they were previously. =(

I'm looking forward to seeing a whole new round of 'oh my god why didn't I pick him' players next fantasy season as well. =P

Ive said it already a couple of posts back. round 3 is all kill format so all those role players would not be as effective as they were in rounds 1 and 2.
