hmm not sure what to make of your post lol. I think it's cool that you're really invested in her to the point where you would write a big post on it but at the same time, if you're a true fan, you would be happy with whatever decision she makes in the end regardless whether you agree with it or not.

For me, I will always remember Scarlett as the Zerg who lost to a 6 pool against Jaedong lol. I didn't watch her games against Bomber or much after or before tbh so I'm not really a fan of hers. Regardless, best of luck to her in what she does! I think she's making the right choice in the end. E-sports is a short lived career and unless she's ok with delaying herself from the path she takes afterwards (whether college, university, workplace etc...), it's best to quit now and get to the start of the road much faster

Scarlett, you have a dream job that is difficult but very rewarding, a ton of loyal fans, are making decent money through tournament winnings and probably salary, and have the opportunity to fly and even live all around the world to play a frickin video game for a living. I cannot understand how someone, especially a person as young as you, can have all that and walk away from it. I just don't understand at all. Until just very recently, you've always seemed so happy doing what you do. Sure, you may not have a special interest in Starcraft right now, and perhaps a vacation is needed. Everyone needs one once in a while, but it very much can come back and I am of the opinion that it will for you.

That seems like a pretty short-sighted reason to criticize her decision. Pro-gaming might be a nice idea for some, but I am not sure if you can call it a career. Now I don't know exactly how much she's making, but at the end of the day as far as I'm aware, she's put off college for this. Pro-gaming doesn't last forever, and she's got her future to think about. Unless she's making serious money now, she could be really hurting herself in the future.

And given her past, it's going to surround her as long as she's in the public eye. I can totally imagine her wanting to move on from that.

I would slighly disagree. If she's happy I'm happy for her, but at the same time I can be disappointed with it, and I don't think that makes me any less of a fan.

Meh, in my personal experience as well as with people I know, putting of college isn't as big of a deal as some people think. I've known people who didn't graduate until they were in there 30's, and they still landed awesome jobs they were very happy with, so it's a bit subjective I think. It's a matter of opinions I guess.

It's hard losing something you're a fan of!
For YEARS I kept wanting Barry Sanders to come back...
