There are many professional foreign players who have basically never beaten a Korean player before. Besides, Kas' record vs. Koreans is not "way, way, way under 50 %" Looking at his TLPD you will find that he has a pretty decent record against many Koreans, among: MKP 2-0 in favor of Kas (in an offline setting too, WCG) Zenio 5-4 in favor of Kas Lucky 2-1 in favor of Kas Puma 1-4 in favor of Puma Gumiho 1-2 in favor of Gumiho 3-0 Nada in favor of Kas As you can see, his record against good Koreans is quite respectable. I wouldn't say he is a favorite against Code S/A Koreans, but he can certainly put up a fight against even the best. Most foreigners have beaten a Korean player. I'd say well over half of the 'known' foreigners who regularly attend LAN's have beaten a decent Korean on LAN. Kas's wins obviously weren't luck, but his record is (included only LAN events): vs Supernova 1-2 LOSS vs Puma 1-2 LOSS vs Zenio 3-2 WIN vs Zenio 2-0 WIN vs MVP 0-2 LOSS vs MKP 2-0 WIN vs MC 0-2 LOSS vs MC 0-4 LOSS So 3 wins, 5 losses. 9 maps won, 14 maps lost. Overall win rate of 38% on LAN. Which is well short of 50% and really not impressive. I'll admit though that this is a small sample size, so small that Zenio is a massive increase of his win rate (who is awful vs Terran) and MC massively increases his losses. So if we use the more unreliable results of online tournaments we get. vs Hyun 1-3 LOSS vs Zenio 0-2 LOSS vs Select 0-3 LOSS vs Squirtle 3-2 WIN vs Gumiho 1-2 LOSS vs Lucky 2-1 WIN vs Jjakji 0-3 LOSS vs Supernova 1-2 LOSS vs Real 0-2 LOSS vs Heart 0-2 LOSS vs ASD 1-0 WIN vs Puma 1-2 LOSS vs Inori 2-0 WIN vs Creator 0-1 LOSS vs Zenio 3-2 WIN vs Zenio 2-0 WIN That's his 2012 results against Korean players. (apologies if I made a mistake and missed a game). Which means he's won 15 maps and lost 27 maps. Giving him a win rate of 36% vs Koreans in 2012. Which I think most people would agree isn't good and is well shy of the 50% mark, just like I said. So as I originally stated Kas is clearly a guy who is capable of beating Koreans some of the time, but he loses to them far more than he wins. So bragging about his wins over Koreans is really, really weird when actually he has a weak record overall. Anyone can cherry pick a result and pretend it makes a player consistent vs top players or likely to beat them (Goody vs Nestea, Idra vs Bomber), but it doesn't mean much if most of your other results vs Korean are losses. | ||

I doubt anyone is actually saying that Kas is not a great player. | ||

I won't comment on her games with Phoenix as I never actually seen those games and I personally do not know much about Phoenix. Overall she is doing ok yeah but she is certainly not going to become the next zerg bonjwa like some people here seem to think. Best NA zerg? I do not think so. | ||

She also beat Zenex Avenge in one of the IPL TL qualifiers. No one is saying that she is the next bonjwa. Kas fans just seem taken aback that Scarlett fans want her to win... | ||

Overall she is doing ok yeah but she is certainly not going to become the next zerg bonjwa like some people here seem to think. Best NA zerg? I do not think so. First DeMuslim regamed. She won two straight up games against him. Second zero people have called her the next zerg bonjwa, you just set up a straw man. Lastly there aren't that many great NA zergs, I think you would even admit she is at least top 5 NA zerg and someone arguing that she is top 3 isn't much of a stretch. Hyping her as the best NA zerg isn't that crazy until further notice IMO. | ||

Beating DeMusliM is pretty nice but it wasn't all that sick. Scarlett has hype because she's a good female player and because she's transgender. Her skill performance was far less than Quantic.Illusion who's like 16 years old and beat Code S players in their best match-up but he barely got noticed. | ||
