She might be top notch if she would put in the effort, very likely mot gonna happen tho :/ Didn't she say that she was kind of bored with SC2 and is really focusing on BW right now? It would be really fun to see her try and make it into ASL within a year or so. | ||

It would be really fun to see her try and make it into ASL within a year or so. i think that'd be really hard to since no foreigner has been able to do that but i think she could definitely qualify for BSL. She's already like A rank in such a short amount of time and the high priority things she needs to improve on (I would say build order, army composition and other things related to strategy) are a lot easier to learn than improving mechanics. The 4-1 result doesn't really shock me because she was like 100+ mmr higher and that's actually a big deal. Also, Tasteless used a lot of zealot heavy builds but they often didn't work very well because her probe defense was really good. | ||

Scarlett is a pretty amazing Sc2 pro who has already managed to get to a level in BW that is great compared to most foreign casual BW players but utter trash compared to any BW pro or even high level amateur Korean. I would say that switching between games is easy in some sense, but don't expect to get to your sc2 level in BW without a lot of effort. | ||

He is also over 200 mmr higher than tasteless, but then artosis hates tvp with passion. 4-3 Artosis imo as of today. But Scarlett is getting better every day, so who knows where she is in a month. I got nothing but mad respect for her improvement rate, she's an unpolished gem in this game! | ||

I got nothing but mad respect for her improvement rate, she's an unpolished gem in this game! Aside from winning a drawn-out TvT Artosis was pretty out-classed in that tournament. Also he qualified through the NA bracket which is not strong even by foreigner standards. I'd take Scarlett for the win with confidence. She seems to take these games seriously which explains the rate of improvement. | ||

A few individuals within the BW community appear to be getting a much larger cut of an already small size pie than the rest. No disrespect intended. They're growing the pie. Bringing in new fans. I love the smaller show matches too, but it's wrong to assume the $800 raised by Scarlett and Tasteless would have ended up in the pockets of lesser known players if they hadn't held this show match. I'm pretty sure they both hosted Bonyth's stream when theirs ended. That helps raise awareness about the foreign BW scene. | ||

She is definitely not that good right now, there are so many quite basic things she doesn't even know and less is able to control and do properly. And to see her make mid-tier A-rank this fast is impressive. And take notice that I said try, Artosis tries every chance he gets. If Scarlett dedicated herself I think she would get closer to making the Ro24.

Yes, it would be really hard. But as she still plays on a quite basic level strategically it is exciting to think about how far she could go. I hope she keeps playing and feel happy with it... | ||
