Who's the protoss? I thought the team was MMA, Cella, Nerchio, Scarlett, Bly, Paranoid and Darkhydra.

Acer should hook scarlet up with a trip to Korea for an extended period.

It's in the works with a seed as well (can't remember if its Code A or S), February I believe. Can't wait.

February? This is a definite thing? That would be pretty major. I used to worry about her not being ready for the shift yet (it cuts down so many players, good and average). But she is playing so well these days it seems like staying in na is just pointless.
Excellent play in iron squid. So fun to watch. I learnt a lot. Thank you! <3

i dont think its feb, maybe almost spring/summer

Is it just me or is it really hard to figure out how good Scarlett really is? Like, in a couple of IPL5 ZvZs against top Koreans, she looked almost totally outclassed against simple harass tactics, and yet somehow her results seem to indicate world class play at the least.
Maybe I'm just too noob for this stuff, but I'm finding it difficult to judge her skill from anything but results. It's kinda like Hyun, in that I see blunders that other top zerg players just don't do, and yet through some decision making or something that I'm too noob to understand, she pulls through and, indeed, almost seems to crush the opposition.

Keeping in mind that every player has their strengths and weaknesses, I think that's a fair assessment. She does seem to struggle with multitask/harassment in all her matchups, but has really strong big-army engagements and overall macro, which is why she seems to be able to win anyway.
You have to remember that taking damage from small attacks and such is irrelevant if you're still in it enough to win the big fights, just because of how the game works. If you take damage from a bunch of ling runbys and it ends up with you having 3 less infestors than your opponent, that doesn't matter if you position your units better and trade efficiently enough to make up for it.

I also would say that she has literally the best lategame ZvZ in the world. I think a lot of the pros see that too, hence DRG putting on a TON of early pressure in his games against her in the IPL, when she survived the early pressure, she won, or when he played her in the World Cup (proleague format) and didn't pressure early (as it was a kinda showmatchy event) she won. Same with her games in EGMCSL late game ZvZ she just doesn't lose.
she just struggles with early zvz, outclassed in ipl5 zvz what?
I'd have to assume he's talking about her very long game vs life. It'd be the closest to "outclassed" that I could see at IPL. Though even then it wasn't (Nerchio and Vortix were outclassed by life for example). However, she did have a very very good chance to win that game when she was dominating with BL/Infestor (late game), then Life just continuously harassed and got back into the game and then ahead when he took his expansion before her.
In the end, it's just lack of experience most of the time I think. Like her game vs Polt in IPLTAC3 if anyone remembers that (just a late baneling nest), or her game vs DRG (8 pool vs 8 pool, she expanded which -apparently- doesn't work).
But DEM MECHANICS. Best creep spread out there I think.
