EPTI mean really, what are we looking for here? She won the last MLG thingy, is the only NA player who does anything worth remembering on the big stage. Congrats to NA players for being good in an NA tournament, but until we see other NA pros taking down Maru/MC/Bomber/Life/Dream etc, I'm not really that impressed.

I would say scarlett's play actuallly varies more than most players. Sometimes she's the best foreigner, other times she loses to Hitman and Incontrol. I don't know, maybe I'm being overly critical and bitter. I just hate to see my favorite player lose like that :/ She did not lose the match to IncontroL, just one game. She won the match. Yes she is solid and extremely consistent, she worked a LOT and got where she is with both wins and losses. She is hardworking and has shown incredible adaptation to everyone's game and brilliant tactics, flawless macro, this is a minor setback and changes absolutely NOTHING as her status of a world class zerg player. If anything, this shows how much Kane has worked to get to the level where Scarlett already was. and btw rooting for Hendralisk gogo! although State is seriously tough. | ||

I just have a hard time feeling that this tournament somehow makes or brakes a player. If we want to know how good someone is, we have to look at how they do against top tier competition over an extended period of time, no? | ||

I just had her in my mind as a lock for at least the finals of this. It makes me a litle depressed to see her lose like that Good job from Kane though. He player really well today. I'll be cheering for him for the rest of the tourney. well he better watch out for MajOr because he's Kane's biggest in game nemesis D: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/B3Cli20.png) | ||

You are definitely the best terran outside Korea atm, and that was a good win. I don't know, I just can't be this fatalistic about one single online tournament. Is Taeja suddenly not the best terran because he lost badly in some tournament once? | ||

I didn't see any luck in your games if that's what you mean. I was talking specifically about people saying Scarlett is no longer one of the best NA players because she had a bad day. Everyone has bad losses, shit happens. That does not invalidate all previous accomplishments. | ||
