Anti team for the most part should be fine Tails and Rogue are dragging my team down as they aren't worth trading right now, hoping rogue can beat Reality and raise his value so I can trade him next week.
I had Rain as my big point anti team guy but with him playing twice this week in winnable matches I'm going to risk it and switch to TY and hope herO beats him. After that, not sure what I'm going to do
I have Sora, Emotion, and Hydra on my anti and they're all playing this week but they're all up against tough opponents (yes even Flash for Hydra. This is SPL!). Dunno if I should trade, hmmm...

tbh I don't think it will be surprising if prime or MVP 3-0 or 3-1 IM
If Prime 3-0s IM then trap will have lost to Salvation which makes no sense. Maybe if Leenock gets down 3 bases to 7 vs. herO he can win, idk otherwise.

HerO got 2-0d by a teamless zerg player the other day. Leenock has as solid shot against him

Kangho > Leenock. Jk they're pretty even but the fact that he's teamless doesn't mean he's not good
maybe now that billowy isnt preparing for gsl anymore he can step in and get me some fpl wins the next few weeks... seriously thought he would be fielded more after last playoffs.
I'm pretty tempted to trade Soulkey away now he's only MAYBE going to play once and I could get players like RorO, Maru or sOs for him.. hmm. Maybe I will trade Bbyong too. What do you guys think?

That's actually pretty difficult but out of those players I would probably just get RorO + PartinG/Classic/Rain. I think it's kind of impossible to say which one of those SKT toss players is the best pick but I would maybe even get Classic because it's 100% sure he will play twice when PartinG is only going to play once and Rain 1 or 2 not sure. I guess you just have to gamble a bit there and just pick one of them.

PartinG + RorO purely for the long run.
Rain and Classic both play twice this week and at a minimum will likely win at least 1 of their games each. Yet, I think both RorO and PartinG will win their single games as well. The real reason I lean towards that combo is more for RorO since he's far more dependable to actually see some play time each week. Khan is also more likely to struggle into an ace match unlike SKT, at which point RorO could see even more play.

I'd trade Soulkey for Maru if you can. Similar reason to the above, in that Maru is far more likely to come out and see an ace match if need be. Would not trade Bbyong just yet, he's pretty good lately and I don't think Action can take him this week at all.
Prime vs SKT looks soooo good. Should be a sick match, Prime should have decent chances. Same vs IM.
I think the Prime coach has made some better desicions this week. No Choya, Kassia, Depature or Terror, but Salvation twice, a bit more stable. And Leenock good some nice matchups, hopefully he can do well.

Yeah it's quite tough. I will probably go with RorO + Rain. I think Rain will play twice, becouse I don't think SKT1 will 3-0 MVP. DRG or Dream have pretty good chance of winning in their matches. Also Rain has higher trading value than Classic, so if i want to trade him next round, i can pick better players... And Rain has higher chance to play in ace match I think.

Is KessiA that "bad" ? I like the kid.
Me too, and you are right, he may not belong to that list. To be fair, Kassia had pretty strong opponets most o the time, and he played some good games. But he had enough apperances for now. What i meant was that Leenock may be a better choice for that spot.

Yeah i figured so. KessiA cannot really be compared to Terror or Departure.
Man, MKP must love Hab Stat. I guess he does love floating to the gold and showing off his micro with a low amount of units. Think he'll 1/1/1 with the gold? I hope so.
Only player I think I'd like to trade on my team is Tails, but man, there's really nobody good to trade him for so I guess I'm stuck with him for the time being. Also, wouldn't mind getting rid of Rogue, since he'll get crushed by Bbyong this week, but we'll see, maybe he can pick it up next week.

Plot twist first probe will be sent to prevent landing
Gonna try to trade soO for ByuL since I think ByuL is gonna do well in his matches and I don't have complete faith in soO vs DRG. Also soO only plays once.
Rouge and Tails are letting me down here and I can't actually get rid of them. Crap. Thought about going for SalvatioN but then I realized he's probably going to lose both times. Maybe Rogue will be able to beat Reality. I dunno.
Other than that, I'm worried about Soulkey since he doesn't play that much this round and might not (god forbid) play at all. Maybe trade him for Dream?
Also, I have both Yonghwa and Super on anti. Probably not going to trade Super as everyone higher plays and is probably going to win. I'm considering trading Yonghwa for Stats but I feel like I'm going to regret it later.
Edit: Eff it, traded Yonghwa for Stats. Gonna pray to the SPL gods that Stats isn't fielded twice or something next round.

keep yonghwa stats is never good on anti. even if youwha wins 1 game he wont win 3-4 like stats can do
well i have remove DRG for Super from my anti, since he has a big chance of winning vs soO... and Super has a PvP which i prolly gonna lose, and i kept leenock on my anti since i have Prime as a Team :D even though he wins i wont take that much of a hit :D

He has been on a roll recently but he has also flopped in pretty hard in the past. His PvP is insane however.

in R1 he was #2 protoss, in R2 he was the #1 protoss for wins (tied)? he hasn't flopped in SPL

Didnt he go 3-5 in round 1? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Yeah I'm stuck with Tails too
Don't know why you're so sure Bbyong will beat Savage - Savage is a beast and has been throughout proleague. People seem to be overestimating Bbyong. Most of his wins are gimmicky all-ins on the gold on hab stat. He really hasn't had more impressive games than Savage. I've traded Bbyong out for Maru and then put Bbyong in my anti in place of DRG. I think Bbyong is the most overvalued player on the FPL system atm (maybe Hydra?) and Savage is clearly the most undervalued. Don't know why you want to get rid of Savage - there is no other player with anywhere near as good stats for that price.

Rogue plays Reality. Also you can trade Tails for Ruin or Dark if you like they both play this week :D
I traded Bbyong for DRG. Tough choice, since I could have gotten Maru. DRG plays twice this week and could produce hugely, while Maru only plays once and has gone on a 0-2 streak to start the league. Kind of a gamble, but it's the only trade I'm likely to make this week.

its a very good trade short term, but you might wanna have hydra later on since he will play most game which might not be the case for classic.
also you should get RUIN to replace tails. his pvt is stellar, even more against MKP who relies alot on his bio, a style which Ruin totally crushed in Code A with his blink into double robo immortal build.
and rogue's a keeper since you cant trade him for anyone who worth it. he play every match anyways he might end up still with 12 points

Leenock and Prime! Leenock has some tough protoss draws this round though, however it looks like they have a decent four now, with Salvation being their best "No-name" in my opinion! Hope they do well!

They've played twice in Dreamhacks in HoTS with each player taking a 2-1 win
I'm going to trade Soulkey for Rain who should play 2 matches and possibly win both of them. The problem is second trade. I think it's right time to aquire one of Jin Air's aces - Maru or sOs. Maru looked overall better and sOs is playing Stork whose PvP is actually quite good so Maru. However not shure who should I trade for him: RorO or Bbyong ? RorO has thougher opponent but can also be send as an Ace. One the other hand Bbyonghwa... Also KeeN on anti is a bit risky (plays 2 matches) but I have no idea who should I take instead of him. Choices...

I thought that Squirtle most probably would win against DRG but after checking Global Tournament results looks like I might be wrong
