This is my new team after seeing the week one lineups. I'm really unsure about it to be honest but we'll hold on to hope. New thoughts: Hurricane looks like great value at 3 points. He is playing twice in week one and Samsung will most likely win a lot so he should do well in FPL. Shine didn't end up in the lineup for Samsung in either of their matches. Bbyong still has good value even though he is fielded 1/2 this week. Cure is a weird pick for me I was just trying to fill points. He is being fielded twice this week, albeit against some seriously tough opponents. Hush probably won't play and I don't anticipate CJ doing that well.
SKT because DUH. PartinG because double DUH. Life because his relative newness to Proleague and a lot of these players, plus hes just really good. State because #ForeignerHope. I'm impressed Cure is only 3 points, hes always done well for me, but I guess I'll wait to see if he plays first week, and I might switch him for Bbyong. Sorry will collect 4 or 5 points just by virtue of being on SKT.
sOs is still too known and recent to jump ahead of the metagame yet, so I'll take the risk and say he continues to tank in Proleague. DRG was BAD(a good thing for me) last round so I'll stick with him. Also, Mvp because I'm that guy, and besides he won't get any playing time with ST now on the roster. If sOs becomes a new RorO I will cry.

or maybe since Mvp is going to europe just after his WCS eu group, they will use him as much a possible before he leaves :p
Most of my first choices were too expensive this time round so I dunno. Maru is my favourite Terran, captaining him once more after he pretty much carried my team last round. Terminator was quite a solid player for Jin Air last round so I should be able to get a good few points from him. Life has always been a Z I've looked at and gone, hmm this kid is good and with him being a 5, hey why the hell not. HerO was a difficult pick for me, with IM's stacked roster I'm not entirely sure how much play time he's going to get but if he does get some, hopefully his IEM win will have given him an excellent morale boost.
State and MarineKing were kind of "well I need cheaper players who will play" Prime having the weakest roster overall means there's a good chance both of these guys will play regularly for their price plus it felt kind of wrong to have the Marine Prince and not the Marine King in my team. Oh and picking State I said I wasn't going to do but, everyone has that grim hope that maybe, just maybe the foreigner will do well.
Anti-Team, I learnt from my past mistakes of picking Flash and actually sat down and thought "hmm what non cheap prime players can I put in here" so here we go: DRG has always been a rather underwhelming performer in my eyes plus he has a habit of going SH. That Shine is the Samsung one, and I feel he's the weakest of all the Samsung Zerg. Stats, he's one of the weaker KT players and there are definitely other choices KT will go for over him imo.
GOING IN!!!! Going for MKP cuz <3 Maru captain again because he is our only Terran hope (along with mentor MKP :3) Kal because he might get some build order wins and is cheap Savage because they guy is sick good for his value Sniper as i couldn't get Darth Vador so i got Darth Maul instead :D Sora as i think he will show he is better than last rounds dismal display
Anti team DRG he is just not good anymore MVP mainly i think IM might struggle and he won't play so xD Solar again i think he has gotten found out and won't do anything this round.
Easy. Life in Proleague, I'm a fan, I do believe. Creator will be send out by Prime quite some times, I expect him to be played in every match and I do expect him to gather up some wins. Same goes for Kal. HerO is in since he showed decent results, finally is in a korean training environment, is over his nerves and will rock proleague for IM! Reality will be fielded vor Samsung quite often, and I expect more map and mech abuse from him. His boring playstyle will make him win some shit. Zest comes in simply for the all kill of SKT, also, he is one hell of a proleague protoss. My team of choice will be IM, since I expect them to do really well with the depth of their roster now.
Anti:
MKP on my anti. Hell, that guy is figured out. That guy is washed out. And there's way more protoss than zerg, so his micro won't help him and his greed will be easily punished by protoss power. Rogue did well so far, but I expect him to have lost his "unkown guy" power. Korean preparations gonna make that guy suffer. And then Super. He's not a bad player or so, but Mvp doesn't really have depth, and he's going to get killed over and over again.
Trading options: I guess I'll have to trade MKP off my anti for DRG real soon.
So grateful that there is a foreigner playing, no offense to state but thats such a safe bet given that he probably won't get sent out much and not do well. I just hope Creator doesn't get a confidence boost by MKPs return and sOs can do well and terrible at any point in time anyway so he is kinda coinflippy. If Flash wasn't somehow the most expensive player (which results wise doesn't even make sense) he would have been my captain like he was in Round 1 T.T
I mean, Swagger is captain of MVP and only 1 point so he's basically a steal imo. MKP Going to make sure Prime rocks and he should get a lot of playtime.
Also, when in doubt, pick some high level protoss. herO, parting & creator should all get plenty of playtime.
