She 7pooled to masters league, I'm just assuming she 7pooled her placement matches as well, since that's part of the journey to masters. Obviously, she could've just been naturally good and I'm totally wrong.

Well she was apparently pretty good at DOTA which I guess is kinda RTS experience. That + watching a bit of sc2 first + a lot of natural talent and it seems normal enough. ^^

Did you have any prior RTS experience before SC2? Or just DOTA?
Since MKP is your favorite progamer have you ever considered switching to Terran? How good is your offrace? ^^
i played like 20-30 games on wc3 ladder and a tiny bit of sc1 on LAN with friends mostly long ago (and more since i started playing sc2) but was not any good at either because i only was doing for fun. i played many wc3 customs / some bw customs in past before starting sc2 though
i have always and will always play zerg ; never really considered switching other than maybe 1 point when neural was getting hardcore nerfed (no massive) but that was me just being silly ><
my offraces are maybe mid-low master other than cheese; which i am pretty good at (top8 master level)

i copied what i saw from zerg streams/ a few gsl games mostly; and changed parts of my build/play whenever i lost badly to some strat. i dont think i improve faster than ex-BW pros though, lol ><

What players that you run into on NA ladder give you the hardest time, if any? If you can think of any, why?
the only terran i recently dropped few games to was NrGLuckyFool to that marine/hellion/stim/+1 timing as i said earlier .. i will need to practice vs that build specifically to see what to do - any other terran i never really have trouble vs (this is just build-specific though !)
i go about 50% vs oGsVINES, iSjEcho (he is very good zerg though i think his zvt opening is pretty silly), TSLHyuN, coLMinigun(though i havnt played him in awhile; he give me trouble because of his very unorthodox PvZ styles i had no practice against) ..
my zvz is just weak in general so other top NA ladder zergs are favoured against me i feel

How much do you use drop in ZvP? I was watching game 3 against Oz and really think you could of won that game had you got drop tech and just dropped some roaches behind each mineral line while pressing the front with the rest of your army
This trades really well and gives you the time to tech to brood infester
Its a really strong counter when you are forced into roach hydra play early on to hold off immortal sentry pushes
i have not experimented with drops ZvP since i was very new into the game and i used morrow style ling/blingdrop/infestor (though this is not nearly as viable since neural nerf) - other than trying it against guillycuddy(?) in playhem tournament - did not work out too well because it was my first time trying ( i dont use entombed on ladder ), but i will probably experiment with it more against fast thirds ZvP on certain maps

Sometimes the 5 placement matches aren't difficult. I did like the exact same thing when I started. I went 5-0 in placement matches and I had only played casually Starcraft with friends and used zero hotkeys (I never went past 2 base though because I couldn't spend my money fast enough on 2 base XD). It didn't mean I was amazing it meant the players I faced sucked. It's WAY more impressive all the hard work it took to go from there to grandmaster in a short period.
Edit: Damn it I keep posting right after she answers the question!!! XD

i will not be able to play spring arena open qualifier as that starts tomorrow (and i arrive home 2 pm EST tomorrow ~ then need to sleep long time as i will have been up more than 24 hours (excluding bit of sleep on planes/train)
i might start playing some playhem dailies/ or other online tournaments soon though
my next big LAN will probably be MLG Anaheim (i will also most likely attend NASL s3 finals as spectator if i can ^__^ and anyone from Ontario can meet me there)

So Scarlet we know a bunch of people have probably talked to you from different teams management, are you able to shed some light to us as to what teams may have expressed some interest even just minor, I understand the offers should be private that each team gives but would love to know what teams approached you, really hoping for a top foreign team :D

So you steal everything from Stephano (who steals from his cousin). I do see a pattern here .
Question: What do you think is underused in current zerg play? Something that you like to do a lot, but others don't. Can be matchup specific.
