Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this her first LAN since WCS 2014 Season 3? If so, then she's understandably a little rusty, not to mention she still has a lot to figure out with LOTV.
Overall, it didn't look like her decision making was up to her usual standard. Versus Ptitdrogo, she misread his early build in the first game and lost like 9 drones to 2 adepts. In the second game, she held his warp prism play and got ahead, but then droned up to ~95 drones and also threw away her whole army in a badly timed push, and then lost to a counter push.
Against DeMusliM, she basically lost to early reaper aggression twice.
I guess we can chalk it up to needing more practice, both on ladder and in a tournament setting. Aside from not knowing the meta, her reaction times also appeared slower than normal. Anyway, can't imagine what she's feeling right now, having travelled all the way there to go out like this.
She was at DH Tours, and WCS Toronto for the archon tournament if that counts.
Anyway.... sorry for being so salty before. Too much passion, I guess I wasn't as far removed from my old self as I thought I was. I think I speak for everyone here though when I say that we want to see you do better, and that we know you can do better. You got it in you.

Well, technically you weren't wrong. I'm sure she'd be the first to agree that this is probably her weakest showing .... well, ever. Hopefully she'll figure out the meta, and also get her reflexes back in form.

So many possible reasons... Of course you're right, she is the only one who can evaluate her games we problably should stop with wild guessing but i'm sure she just ignores thoose passages.
We should (and i'm sure we are) just all be happy and thankful that she did her best preparing for this HSC and the last two series of Nationwars (where we saw how good she can be allready in lotv).

Practice Practice Practice, that's all it comes down to.
Btw Sasha, if you've read the new WCS format I'd be very curious to hear what you think of it. The change is massive

Sasha's casting now on the mainstream, and even if its her first cast this HSC i allready like it ten times more then her casting at the last one seems like she's more comfortable with casting, now that she's playing again

It's nearly impossible for any human to moderate an open chat for a stream of 20,000+ viewers. The comments come too quickly to flag or ban. I'd almost rather see them make chat sub-only.

Fullscreenstream=best stream. Yeah it's a shame but this seems to be the only option on bigger streams. Tbh i would even go so far and prefer Dota twitch chat over the SC2 one. Don't get me wrong, its even worse, but at least, regardless who you are, everyone gets shit on in the worst possible ways... .
But i have to agree to kuan888 that Take's mods do a poor job, you just have to look at the b-stream with far less viewers and almost no moderation most of the time. On one hand they seem overcharged at big events, on the other hand they set the wrong ban-priorities sometimes.
I wouldn't mind if they just ad a few commands and let the bot do some work, and permaban the worst spammers and initiators if it goes to far (well it always does...).

Just wanted to jump in and say i enjoyed your casting and to thank you for accepting the last minute invite to play, there is only a few players left that i root for (mma  ) and its always fun to watch you :D. I'm sure everyone here is hoping for a summer HSC so that maybe we get another outing before your schooling kicks in \o/
here is to a few WCS outings and much NA crushing 
|
Yup, the casting was good.
Also, someone looked pretty hammered at MMAs celebration. :D

Just can agree to all what Butters said, i hope if you are able to you will show up to EVERY comming HSC (ideally as player) you just belong there.
I have to admit im still a bit sad about your early knockout this tournament but its pretty minor (you win some you lose some). But i hope you were able to steal some new builds (to improve them again) from some EU zergys like Nerchio, Snute, Elazer (right this three, NOT Bly - nobody can stand the crazyness of more Blyesque-games...).
I allready that that before but also thanks for your casting, i enjoyed it pretty much this time.
My only critic here goes to your Pictionary performance - i just hope you will draw next time cuz your guessing skills... .xd

Merry Christmas, Sasha
I wish you lots of fun with your family and friends.

Is Scarlett full fighting mode in LOTV again?

Sadly quiete the opposite seems to be the case, but i aprecciate her honesty and the fact that she seemed to give that option a fair chance during the last one/two months.
And as long as she's trying her best to win her games when she's playing tournaments (regardless how much or few she practised for it), i prefer the parttime solution/semi retirement over a full retirement (if she's fine with that).

oh god that is terrible news. Scarlett is so good.
