From the entire year, that was one of my favorite moments, when she commented at the start of the games;
"Good luck, you'll need it this time"

I think that got Polt a bit perplexed there. From a sports psychology perspective, in most cases intimidation works, as in most athletes when they get intimidated switch mentally from "playing to win" to "playing not to lose". I remember reading a study that athletes who approach a competition without self-confidence have an increased level of cortisol (stress hormone), as their body tries to adapt to the situation that they perceive as worrying, so they end up making more mistakes than their opponents.

I think this just proves how much self-confidence matters in eSports as well as in any kind of sport. And there was a recent TL article on STLife how he is so confident that he simply knows he will win. I would be very curious if the Korean coaches emphasize this mental preparation in any way.

Interesting to note - in the EU qualifier there are no koreans registered so far (though there is still time), whereas the America Qualifier has already two (hydra and violet).

But don't get discouraged by that Scarlett, you're better than viOlet and you have the skill and everything you need to defeat hydra
