I will never understand this Scarlett hype. Outside of beating NA players she's hardly done anything.

She also beat both Bomber and HerO in the last MLG to tie with Suppy as the fourth highest placed non-korean. And all of that is just in the last month.
She was the only player in RSL to play on her own server, the only players on Dignitas worth beating are JR and Bischu now, whoop-de-do she beat Catz and Suppy so far.
She went 2-2 at MLG. She lost to Daisy, who is essentially a European Protoss. Hero can't beat Zergs lately. The Bomber games were impressive though.

I'd really like to see Idra get to Ro16, but that is such a ridiculous group.

Actually, Suppy made it 1 round farther than Scarlett did, They didn't tie.

"Winners Match: Stephano > RorO"
Did Stephano improve his ZvZ so much?
The only real weakness of his ZvZ : Mutas. He really stuggles not to take too much damage from it but then i ve never rly seen him loosing a macro game when he didnt go from too far

Daisy had a great tournament there and generally a pretty underrated player, you should read more into it man.
I'm sure it won't happen again though lol

I'm going to have to disagree with you here. I have followed this scene since GSL open season 1 and the Korean superiority in SC2 was rejected by many and disputed by most, until the turning point, MLG Anaheim 2011. After MLG Anaheim 2011 the popular opinion changed from "Koreans aren't really better than foreigners" to "Koreans are better, but they are boring". well, I'd say Columbus was the harsh reality check, and Anaheim was the point of no return
It was something else to actually be in that crowd at Anaheim and witness firsthand the sort of crushed morale the crowd had when the Koreans not only beat their fan favorites but CRUSHED them.
Columbus I feel was more of a "oh so THESE are the Koreans we've heard so much about, they look really tough I can't wait for Anaheim so our guys can have another chance" only to reach Anaheim and see it dominated by players most of the crowd at that time had never heard of before.
I enjoyed it personally. It made me feel vindicated for following the GSL so closely and not buying into the hype surrounding the western scene at the time.
BTW, Roro's bit made me laugh my ass off. Well written for sure.

I don't know these days, but I remember being very impressed by Scarlett's debut. I was not getting the feeling of pure boring "pseudo-foreigner-over-defensive-i can only macro brainlessly and try to disguise it as conservative absorbtion-brood war style" over it at first glance.

the problem with group h is i want every single player to advance
And that's what makes it a true group of death.
Personally I'm going to agree with the write up. Creator will advance and so will Scarlett.

That's because that style hadn't truly proliferated to the extent it has 6 months later.
Now that's all ANY foreign zerg ever does most of the time, but back then it didn't carry the same kind of stigma.
Plus I feel like a lot of people get free passes on HOW they win when they are unknown rising stars, but when they become known players with fan followings they get added pressure on them to produce games with particular style and flair.

Love these write ups guys. 5 out of 5 as usual. Scarlett Fighting!!!

Really surprised by the lack of faith in Insur. The guy tears up LANs like Suppy but doesn't really get noticed for them. I like him over Lowely twice even.
