It is my experience that these polls don't reflect the "quality" of the rated games as much as they represent emotional responses and the excitement of the moment. I often have to stop myself rating games my favourite player lost mediocre, even if their quality is high (and vice versa). Then again, hype is an integral part of the perceived quality of a game, so maybe this "heat-of-the-moment"-bias isn't such a bad thing as it reflects the general mood of the viewers after/during the match.

Anyone else notice that?

I mean no disrespect I'm a fan of hers.

Probably because 99% of the time when you're casting you're talking about males ^^

I haven't. But they often mix up player name and all such things.

when do Koreans learn that foreigners now expect for a korean player to go cheese after losing a macro game against a foreigner

They learn it the very hard way.

Derelict and Newkirk vs INnoVation did show how good SoulKey is. Do you really believe Scarlett would have the slightest chance vs INnoVation TvZ? I really rate her highly, but she lost to Dream once pretty-hard even though it was a good game and once close. INnoVation is worlds above every other Terran TvZ right now. So yeah... while SoulKey might be overrated in how solid he is overall, his a-game is untouched in ZvT I think.

I think Soulkey is better in TvZ because he is better mechanically. His ZvT gameplans are very questionable however, while anytime you see Scarlett play, you can see how she really gets the matchup and knows when mass muta is a good choice and when not, when you have to go Ultra and when you have to switch out of ultras.

Pretty much this. Apollo doesn't strike me as "that guy".

Edit/ This game is over. Maru gambled and lost. Scarlett (and Cella) saw it coming in their pre-game chat, IMO.
