For those wondering why:
The art of anti is finding the players who are going to slump. RorO has never really slumped in his Proleague career. He's a solid above-average player (except his ZvP, oh dear no) and so if you pick him up you ARE going to eat those points.
Now, it can be a reasonable strategy to pick up a solid player who's just a tiny bit overpriced (ZerO at 7, maybe; fantasy or BeSt at 6 if you think they're going to have a bad round; if you're willing to gamble, Bisu at 8), but you can do this only to free up room to try to grab low cost players who will barely hurt you.
With the anti level at 13, a 5-pointer is going to lock you into a 5-4-4 or 5-5-3 (if you're going 6-5-2 or something, that's just silly), which means you're probably picking other reasonably good players; with RorO being pretty much a proleague machine, you can't afford his points when your other anti picks are threats as well.
If we were to drop the anti to 11 total, RorO would be an amazing pick for the eat-the-points system; if it was raised to 15, he'd be a solid pick because at that point you'd have to gamble a couple places and he'd fit the devil-you-know bill.
(Also, it's RorO: the one round he finally cost 6, I figured it was worth eating the points; he went 7-2 or something ridiculous. RorO is the enemy of FPL.)

Not if he's on your main team

If we can sacrifice our main team to boost our anti team, then why do we have point requierments? why not say that you need 6 players and a team on main and 3 players on anti, and the main must be no more than 17 points greater than the anti?
Thank you so much for putting this together. I missed FPL a lot in round one, and I was devestated when I originaly saw no FPL for round two. But fortunently all that unplesentness is gone now.

He was also frequently used as WMF's ace player last season

According to wfbrood, bloody ridge will be added to R2, but they're picking between fortress and grandline to remove, not protoss plains. But, that source says it is not confirmed, so not sure...

Lol if central plains is really removed, Horang2 is an auto-add to anti team.
