i think the best way to reach her with a present, is either paypal her on the public email address that is on her stream, or send the gift to acer, with a note that it's for her.

Boy, reddit is really laying into her of this. They're more upset with Scarlett than I was

I mean, sure $75/hours is a lot, and way more than a lot of people can afford, but other players have and do charge even more than that so it's still not the worse deal out there. It's more about playing with Scarlett than actually getting better obviously.

Wow, I just read the entire coaching post on reddit. It seems to me that people have knee-jerk reactions to dollar figures, or ideas, or new developments, or people being financially successful, and pull a Bill O'Reilly and start hating without really taking a mature look at the issue. Scarlett is really popular, skilled, and most of all, she has truly unique experiences that inform her mindset (Proleague experience, team-house experience, life in Korea, etc...) that no active foreign zerg has, other than Snute.

Unfortunately in life, nothing lasts forever. It is yet to be seen whether or not e-sports is like golf; that is, a game that allows you to turn pro at 18 and play in meaningful tournaments until you're 70. My guess is that it is not. Also, Scarlett plans on going to school eventually and probably wants to build up a bit of a nest-egg for that.

Also, just food for thought, most specialist doctors (endocrinologists, dermatologists, psychiatrists, any type of surgeon, etc...) charge huge amounts of money, in some cases up to several thousand dollars an hour to run tests on you (my psychiatrist charges $125 for each 15 minute session; I'm insure, so I pay $45). Most people would say "Yes, well they're a doctor and that's really hard to do, it takes a lot of time and skill..." Yes? And so does achieving what Scarlett has in SC2. And by the way, there aren't even 468,942 of her (the number of specialist physicians in the United States). And don't even get me started on the best lawyers ($500+ per hour, plus they charge for travel, food expenses, etc...) There is only one Scarlett. $75 is really not that much for an hour of personalized coaching and chat with someone you're a huge fan of.

Also, a lot of the hate in that thread came from people deciding that $75 was "too much" or something. I hate to break it to them, but I think most people saying that are a little too young to understand how the world works; if you only have the energy/time for 10 appointments, you set a high price because it will 1. make you as much money as you're worth, and 2. limit the number of people you have to say "no" to. This is basic reasoning; even if she were charging $500/hr, and all 10 slots were filled, I would still be saying good for her because that is obviously how much she is worth. Some people with no business sense might look at that and say "Her coaching isn't worth that much!" Actually... if she has hit her goal of 10 appointments at that rate, then I hate to break it to you buddy, but it is proven that her coaching is worth that much. It is obviously not worth it to someone who thinks it is not worth it; but that person who thinks it is not worth it shouldn't hate other people for deciding it is worth it.

Honestly, if Scarlett is going to live a normal western-style life where she buys a house eventually, owns a car, has a kid or two, pets, etc... then she pretty much has an obligation to herself to use the thousands of hours she's invested into the game to get a good return on her time-investment. She does not have to apologize for charging $75 an hour to get coaching and to chat with a (seriously) one in a million person. She's allowed to have pride in herself and do well for herself in life. Many people don't use math to make sense of the world. I ran conservative calculations (I will post them beneath this post in a "hidden" box) for the value of my computer science degree; every day I spend in college is worth ~$905). Scarlett is interested in CS, and has been delaying her college studies to play SC2; think of the implications of that decision on her lifetime-earnings potential.

Scarlett does not have any kind of obligation to the community to sell herself short so that a bunch of people -- who probably aren't even fans of hers -- won't be upset about the price of coaching that they see in a Reddit thread for two minutes, will forget about a week later, and probably aren't going to buy anyway. I believe that none of us have an obligation in life to answer to those who tell us we aren't allowed to be happy and successful and financially comfortable.

The bottom line is that Scarlett has every right to fulfill her dreams, and be successful, and make a lot of money out of this whole thing, and head into college with a nice new computer, car, not much worry about debt, etc... Let the haters hate, they don't understand the ways of the world yet, and hopefully one day in life they'll be a really good at something, and sit down at a job interview for a position offering $100k+, and say "Yes, I can definitely do what you're asking, for example I made x y z happen..," and get the job. Then, when they go home and celebrate and remember "Wait a minute, wasn't I mean to Scarlett for being successful?" and then write her an apology letter 10 years after the fact.

TLDR - Scarlett has a right to be successful; she doesn't have to answer to puberty-rage directed at her in a Reddit thread
