Prefered him over Taeja or Stephano (although i almost picked Stephano as he'll most probably play even less).
HerO seems a lot stronger than taeja right now (stephano as well I'd say). Disregarding maps and matchup, I think he's definitely most likely to come out as ace. Am I missing something, why is he not likely to play?

Well, he's gonna be at some foreign events, but my understanding was that the PL would try to organize around that. LiquidHerO is one of the strongest players in the league and will be played a ton, tbh he is really undervalued and anyone picking him for anti team will regret later on!
PS: yeah I'm a fan, but still HerO isn't a good choice for anti.
i really don't understand the purpose of the anti-team. so you have to pick players that you think won't play, and whose team will lose? how boring is that, i thought it was just about rooting against a player that you thought would do terrible... out of my 3 anti, 2 lost and 1 didn't play cause his team got destroyed 4-0, and i still got -2 from it. i think i got kinda fucked xD

just pick all EGTL players and you'll be fine. I recommend jaedong, stephano, and huk.
and ya the whole point system is really dumb set up, it should really reward you for picking the unlikely guys as opposed to picking crowd favorites who then go on to win ace matches.

You have to pick the guy who will be send as a ace and lose. Thats the only way for the antiteam
Ok. Asking again. I have never followed proleague so I don't even know when the next round is (it's not posted on Liquipedia). Should I wait for the lineups to be posted in less than 5 days, or should I just do my trades now because the lineups will not be posted before the trading window closes? Thank you
Edit: HOLY CRAP. This is important! Rounds 2 and 5 will be All-Kill Format. (source: WIKIPEDIAhttp://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2012-2013_Proleague)

roflno. getting -1s, -2s per week is fantastic for an anti team, as the negative points gets overshadowed by if you picked players winning their ace matches etc.
the risk : reward of having an ace match player on anti won't pay off, because a single ace match win (+4) will completely fuck over even 4 weeks of losing (0 points, then if the team wins it goes -1). except for trap, because why was he sent as ace instead of bogus

The round isn't over until every team plays every team, so we have a while to go yet until the next round.

Same can apply for Bisu since SKT wont bench him any time soon and it's not like hes going to lose, say, 5 straight games.
Yeah but have fun getting to minimum of 13 points with guys who are not likely to play... You have to either pick one big gun and two weak guys, or 3 mediocre.

Round 1 incorporates the entire first 1/6th of the schedule. Each Fantasy season incorporates a single round, not the whole year. Therefore, it makes total sense that trading should be able to occur within a round, since thats the only time it really can occur.
