hmmm ... super fast 3rd zvt against 1rax cc/cc first (most zerg just delay spine and do same 2base lair as usual) very fast 4th zvp (around 8-9min after ~70drone) rather than fast macro hatch on 3base taking really fast 3rd zvz against nogas hatch first openings
pretty much i just expand faster/more and play more macro-ish than most zergs ( i feel its better idea to practice macro than mixing in all ins on ladder ~ it is much better practice ~ and all-ins are very easy to learn )

I feel like we might want to wait for her to get signed. Let's say, for example, she signs with Prime, and someone bought her a computer with a Rosewill PSU instead of a ThermalTake... or EG with G.Skill RAM, etc. etc.
I'm sure most teams would provide her with a computer anyway, it seems to be sort of standard in the industry. It's worth it to the team in terms of publicity for her to be able to stream.

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 Yes yes go MLG! You are my new favourite zerg and I wish you a lot of success in the future!
And gogogo NASL finals! Finally a large sc2 event in ontario CANADA that I can go to. Looking forward to saying hi 
Edit: Also out of curiousity, are you going to school in Ontario? College?

Well Scarlett seems to be one of those rare gosus with incredible amount of talent from what I have heard/seen so far. I hope he/she (?) signs up with a pro team, maybe Stephano, IdrA etc. will soon be outclassed who knows.

Omg I hope Quantic shows some serious interest and has a nice offer for you to atleast go to all sorts of events and get some nice gear, love the team for Destiny and Naniwa and Sase you'd be an awesome addition!
Who knows though teams may need time to think about it and look at there plans for the future before even attempting to talk to you, Im sure something will come up :D

you should get a PC and set up a stream as you are a very popular figure with a lot of hype, i would take advantage of that asap. if you cannot afford one, im 99% sure if you post about it on reddit, they will EASILY get you the 2 grand (or whatever it costs) to get a high end computer to get that stream up and running.
good luck and I hope you hit it big

Note: I am not a transgender, but are relatively close to someone who is. (It's not that we are BFF, but we used to hang out and still meet up every now and then now she is completely a she - she is very happy now, btw. Everything I know comes from this person and her experiences.)
First of all: a transgender, in the very broad sense of the word, is someone who has a specific sex (a certain biological status; 'female' or 'male'), but has a different gender, i.e. he or she feels like she is the other gender than the sex she/he has.
Being a transgender sucks. There is nothing else to say about it. For those who you who do not understand, let me put it this way. Imagine you are stuck in a girls body, while being a guy. You do not want to hang out with the guys. You are literally a guy - you just like the physical body parts. Imagine that all the time all the guys can stand up and pee, and you have to sit down. But note that you don't start out like this. Oh, no; society has always recognized you as a girl. They expect you to act like a girl, where female clothing, maybe even start dating a guy. And all the while: you are a guy. Can you imagine how that's like? I have not experienced it myself, but I am pretty sure it sucks.
If you have a hard time picturing this, try this. You are a very talend starcraft 2 player. You can probably be one of the best foreigners. You have all the skills you need. However; you have to be dishwasher. Everyone expects you to be a dishwasher. If you even start talking to people that you might want to be a starcraft player they will probably look very weird at you. They will consider you to have a 'mental disease'. (Transgender is still, if I am not mistaken, classified as a mental disease.) And you are not really sure. You know it's abnormal that you want to be a starcraft 2 player. Etc. Does this sound awful to you? Now imagine that in order to really become a sc2 player, you have to go through a long surgery, all kinds of psychiatrists, etc. So really, being a transgender sucks big time.
So for all the *I am really censoring myself here* who think they are tough or whatever and want to keep calling Scarlett a 'he' because she might (or might not) have the physical body of a guy, is like saying to the dishwasher: 'Fuck you, you will never be a sc2 player, and I will always consider you to be just a dishwasher, and you will never be anything else'.
I hope this clarifies why it's a fucking douchebag move to keep calling her a he.
I won't go into analyzing Scarlett (I have neither the expertise, nor the ambition, nor anything of the sort) I hope she can be happy the way she is and I hope SC2 and the SC2 community can help her with that. Let's not, however, think we can replace actual friends and family. Given the way we, as a community, have responded to the haters, I think we are doing pretty good.
She can be my Pimpernell any day of the week. <3
I hope you don't mind if I use this analogy elsewhere at some point in the future.

I really hope a team signs you Scarlett and that you get a good PC so you can stream. Mainly I hope you get the practice partners you need to further develop as a player.
It's been too long since a new player emerged from Canada. It feels like NA has had the same small group of big names forever and nobody new ever comes up. We need the fresh blood to keep the NA representation alive in tournaments.

Sign me up plz!, and if u don't mind me asking Scarlett, which area of Ontario are u from?

Scarlett, are you playing full time or do you plan on going to school or something?

Yeah I kind of figured this since top foreign teams are way more cautious (seemingly opposed to recently) in signing up and coming players. The Sir Scoots interview where he talked about you was what I thought most foreign teams would think. Basically he said they have their eye on you, but they would want to see you do well after this as well.
Which of course gives other teams the opportunity to get you in the meantime! :D

Scarlett hwaiting! sign me up! hope you get the best team possible for you and best of luck!

This. Is. Fucking. Awesome.

firstly i think it is required for protoss to hatch block your natural or go 15-17nex noscout or they are very very far behind from good 3hatch opening (if no block it is possible to get 85 supply; +1 range otw; lair otw; ling speed otw; 70+ drones (some just otw); 3gas; roach warren done; and 1 creep tumour going from nat and 3rd each; all by 8 minutes and being completely safe. but most zergs have bad opening and i see many get 60-65 supply with no evo/roach warren done and not having +1 otw at this same time ~im talking about GM zerg streamers
i think stargate play is very strong (1 void ray + 5 phoenix) to pressure and delay 4th/kill 1 or 2 queen/kill few overlord but i think most 2base protoss all ins are very weak and should only work if zerg gets tricked into not thinking they coming (you will see what i mean when replays are out of ddoro vs me)
fairly fast 3base with immortal/sentry heavy defense i think is best option right now on most maps ;; i am not too knowledgeable about zvp though so dont quote me !
