Jamarcus Russell was a spectacular college quarterback at LSU and was drafted #1 overall in 2007 by the Raiders with a $61m contract. He did absolutely nothing for that franchise, he was a failure to say the least. Getting paid to play for a team does not mean that you are actually good.
You are saying that the fact that Matt Flynn is getting paid $26m to play for a team that had a no name, injury prone quarterback means something significant. My analogy still stands because Matt Flynn can still be a bust.
You said that the NFL community isn't freaking out over that single performance, and you're objectively wrong, period. Ignoring the fact that sportswriters were flipping their shit over Flynn (some even asking if he was better than Rodgers, yes, I read ESPN, maybe you don't), the fact that Seattle threw down $26m for him based on that single performance should be enough to tell you that in other sports, people judge players off of single performances.
edit: praying it's SlayerS oh god please

I'd recommend taking your time to find the right team though. Sounds like you will be able to pick from several, so you can afford to be careful and choose one with the most perks / fits you best.

Hope it's Prime ^^
Oh jeez, that would be something else. They're already my favourite team (MKP baby). I suppose it kinda makes sense too since Prime was of course at IPL and I think Scarlett said MKP's her favourite player.

and her first match was against a Prime player
edit: Just think about how cute that team would be. Scarlett, MKP, GhostKing, Maru omfg

It really could be any team, SlayerS and Startale have both shown that they're interested in finding female progamers, so those seem most likely right now.

Link that shit up.
I remember Wilbon and Kornheiser actively criticizing the play of Matt Flynn the next day on PTI. I cannot recall a respected community member saying that Flynn is even remotely close to the skill of Rodgers.
Even though you are correct about a team throwing money at a guy, you fail to read my posts. This isn't a question of the nature of the sports involved, its a question of the people in this thread reacting and saying "OMG BETTER THAN IDRA." I am saying that the NFL community did not use a single performance to determine if one player is better than another; and your argument is totally non-responsive. If I had questioned if a team would be willing to pick her up, then that's a whole different situation.

She also said Prime was her favorite team to Hot_Bid. It would be insane if she could join Prime and go to Korea, but the fact that she said it was a big Korean team alone is pretty insane. Hope it truly is as good as it sounds so we can see her in GSL!

Your point has been understood and there is no need to further elaborate on it in posts.If you want to do so, do it in a PM please.
Thanks

Congratulations Scarlett!
My money is on either FXO or Prime.

One person said that, and he agreed that it was very close. He basically said that if Scarlett could replicate her performance against Oz consistently, she'd be better than IdrA in ZvP. That's like saying that if Matt Flynn threw for 400+ and 6 TD's every game over a full season he'd be better than Aaron Rodgers, which is... true.
I don't see your point, really. You should read posts more carefully.
edit: sorry this is off-topic.
I think the most obvious guess for her team is Prime. If she were to join oGs, Startale, or SlayerS, it wouldn't really make much sense because their foreign counterparts could most likely offer her a better paycheck for the same practice environment. That does leave FXO and IM, but IM seems unlikely (they seem kinda poor). I guess it's really down to Prime or FXO.

This. Dont rush into things. Know your market value. You are over night one of the biggest draws in the whole community. People will tune in the next time you play.

I'm super impressed! Sign me up

It is.
If you're wondering, I'll be finishing out the Playhem Sponsor Me! casts tonight, I have a good hour or two of replays to work through, so it should be lots of fun.
