Well if she makes it all the way and has to play Polt she's completely fucked then.
Oh wait.

Whining about Protoss or balance will be more harshly moderated from page 90 onwards. Before making comments on race picking, refer to MLG's rules | ||

The rules explicitly state "The losing player may switch race between matches" but is silent on whether the winning player may do so. The casters stated that "The winning player may also switch, as it is a separate rule" but no such rule is listed on the mlg website. I'm not complaining, but I am pretty sure MLG let it slide due to her popularity. | ||

It seems that if someone could do that they would have a huge advantage in the game and it would be actually stupid NOT to exploit match ups and maps. If we see players copy this it expands the game to unheard of places and makes the game multidimensional. I think its good as an option...but the chances that that will work again are pretty rare. The only times it will is with an all-in that is easy to execute; so probably, most of the time it will be protoss. But then it should be expected, so it probably will be predicted and deflected | ||

This seems like a big deal for a game that is already jokingly quoted as "dead game" and the race in question is already under fire for being considered OP. u_u In general, forum-goers shouldn't assume that they know how much a player has practised or how good said player is at various things. Your assumption that Scarlett has "only practised a few weeks" is based on the faulty idea that she does not already have monstrously good base skills applicable to all three races. Mvp used to be able to beat European pros with all three races without breaking sweat. It's not unheard of, but you're letting your bias against Protoss convince you that she really only won because she picked Protoss, disregarding skill. | ||

It's probably just that Scarlett has a much better understanding of that matchup compared to the others. We all know that TvT is terran's easiest matchup. ♥ | ||
