Fantasy GSTL looks like alot of fun, looks quite well run also. I made my team last night and am looking at some other teams on TL and some of the logic there.
Want to know what other SEA players have for their teams, i'll post mine once a few others have been posted. (note: the TL 'Forum Code' doesnt work here, so you'll have to write out your team )
Also, maybe a prize for the highest ranked SEA team? (Forum achievement or something?)
so my team is
MC captain
Hero
Huk
Losira
MMA
Tankboy
Tgun
Vines
OGS
trying to maximise points with MC losira and MMA between them i belive they will pull in a lot of points all the rest cost 1 to fit the bill and picked on who if they got picked do i know is decent/good . picked ogs as they have been my favourite team for teaming up with liquid before it was an advantage to do so and like quite a few of there players.
anti team of
Ensnare
Moon
Trickster
bit of a risk with the anti team i know but i belive ensnare wnt be used moon doesnt do nearly as well in korean as he does at international events and ive always felt trickster is generally not that amazing and even if this season he goe into god mode it a price im willing to pay to see him go god mode :P . who'd everyone else put down???
Captain*: MC - Was either MC/MMA or considering MKP since he's the ace of prime but went with MC
Player: Alicia - My favourite player even though he choked a bunch in recent GSTLs I think this season he will finish off teams for Slayers
Player: Gumiho - 4 points and he wins and i needed someone from fOu for the 1point for team win, and he did great last season
Player: Naniwa - He will always be played, just for the foreign scenes interest, and i believe he will win some matches too
Player: Ace - 2 points. are you kidding, he's almost always played and does win sometimes!
Player: Keen - This guy is a beast, 3 points easy choice
Player: Kyrix - Needed ONE zerg apparently, Kyrix is superstar of zenex and for 3 points you can't not have him and always gets played so 1 point atleast, even if he won't win a match!
Player: Taeja - Cheap... 2 points, and all kills last GSTL how can you go past it?
Team: MVP - 4 points is pretty cheap for them considering!
Anti Team (0 / 13 min)
Player: FruitDealer - 4, Barely ever gets played anymore, and if he does he usually loses
Player: Lyn - 5, Will most likely be played but he will most likely lose as per usual, needed someone with 5 points to fillup the 13 minimum and he was the best choice
Yea, i've been making changes as I realize how exactly the rules work. My anti team just got completely redone when I realized that I was picking players that I thought would lose, when I should have picked players I didn't think would play at all.
In that case, make sure everyone posts a link to their team before the comp starts so we can track who is winning (and so people cant pick a well performing team and claim it as their own)
Main Team
5 (P)Alicia - I figure at 5 I can't go wrong, he should do well and get more wins than not.
5 (R)GuineaPig - He performed really well last season and as random he can't really be sniped which gives potential for huge win streaks.
1 (P)Hero - He already played last season GSTL and since then he's got Code A so oGs will show more faith in him I figure and if he plays well he should be a consistent face in oGs's rotation.
1 (P)HuK - Okay so, if they consistently play him he'll be incredible at 1 point. It's a bit risky seeing as how oGs has never played him before but he's easily one of the best players on oGs.
8 (Z)LosirA (captain) - Super solid and perfect for my captain. He's ZvP pro and will generally be put in in situations where I feel he'll be guaranteed at least one win since IM usually has MVP as ace.
8 (T)MarineKing - I cut a lot on my lineup with Taeja, HuK, and Hero so I could afford another high point player. I was thinking of either DRG or MKP and I just feel like MKP is more solid over time and DRG could have been a fluke. If I remember correctly he really only shined for 2 cw's and not really the whole season, MKP has probably been the most consistent SC2 pro and I think he'll still be Prime's ace over Polt.
2 (T)Taeja - All kill potential for 2 points? Yes plz
2 (Z)ViOlet - He plays a lot, he's good, and low points.
4 MVP - The best team for the price.
Anti Team
4 (T)Clide - I think Clide is the most overrated pro ever, I don't think he'll get played a lot and he's 4 points. Basically I figure if he goes in he'll lose or he doesn't play, win win for me.
4 (Z)FruitDealer - Has he ever done good in the GSTL?
5 (T)Lyn - 5 points on Lyn? Easy choice.
Should take quite a few games if he is in form, also not many players on his team are capable of an allkill, so a higher chance than players like MVP, Nestea, MC of actually playing
Opened for MVP pretty much exclusively in the previous GSTL, picking him because he will most likely get played often, and has skill to win the odd game
July should play in every ST game, and with Bomber being the unofficial Ace, he proberbly won't get blocked from playing (ie: if Losira opens and 4-0's a team, Nestea doesn't get to play). He's also pretty damn good.
Its hard to pick an oGs player due to not knowing who will actually get to play games consistantly, but Supernova seems like he gets put forward quite often, and is fairly cheap.
InCa is a PvP player, and is pretty bad at the other matchups, so I dont think there will be many oppertunities for him to actually play a game, and even if he does, he will snipe the 1 Protoss and the other team should send in a T or Z to take him out.
Team- MVP (only real choice with that asking price, IMO)
Anti Team
RainBOw - Can't see him getting many games. Maybe they might open with him once or twice and he'll likely lose. Maka - Not that he's bad, but if Prime ever play him ahead of MarineKing/Polt theyr'e off their rocks, and they should use -someone- other than a T if they ever want to get anywhere. Leenock - Tough choice. Don't think he's bad, but he hasn't shown his form from the open seasons again. Better than the other choices for as many points, I think.
I expect IM to win and in the event Losira loses MVP is most likely going to step up to clean it up. He's also a solid Ace along with Nestea but gets fielded more. Even though he's slumping slightly I think he has learned his lessons in the GSL ST.
If GSTL was ProLeague format I would have questioned IM's value at 8 points. But it's Winner's League Format. A simpler way to look at it would be this: If Flash and Jaedong were in the same team playing in Winner's League, would you ever expect the team to lose?
I was dirty they made me pick a protoss player. This team will either do very well or crash and burn
-Captain Slayers_ryung (6) - good solid terran will get plenty of opportunities to shine for slayers, being one of the not clutch players means he should earn my plenty of points for killing teams
-MVP GuineaPig (5) - what a steal for 5 points!! why would you not pick one of hte random players
-Trickster(6) - i HAD to pick one of each race in my main team (despite trying to submit without a protoss). if i have to pick one, a guy that uses a mothership in GSL is the one i will go with. i had to drop Ganzi for this guy, sigh
-Leenock (6) - i cant go past the fat asian kid zerg hero. he is so cute! at 6, i think he may be overpriced, but still, plenty of chances to win points
-Keen (3) - i thought he came at a good price, pretty handy player should see heaps of time
-Sheth (3) - starting to need to get som cheaper players here
-QXC (2) - following sheth (also FXO), FXO is playing the first like 5 weeks straight - so some of the guys likely to see play at a good price was a good idea
-with 1 point left, i pick Hyperdub. he looked the best of a not so bad lot, i think he is definitely worth the point
Team: MVP. There are so many MVP players i like, DRG, genius, Keen, guineapig. for 4 points, it was probably worth it!
anti team
Polt Prime (8). no-one beats my man 4-0 and gets away with it.
Yugioh (2), lost to a mothership and also has a terrible name. nuff said.
ST_virus (3), i have seen him play a few times and have never been really impressed.
Anti Team
5 - Lyn
5 - Moon
4 - NaNiwa
I figured it'd be a bit of fun but I really don't know all too much about the scene so my picks are basically random, with a few people I thought would do ok. I used TL for the anti-team.
Is it still possible to join the group or did you have to get in before the GSTL started? I have a fantasy team on there but can't see the button to join the sc2sea group
I wished I picked MMA as my anti team haha. At least he don't really play much only once so far I believe. And all those smart people who picked FD and trickster into their anti team.
