never really understood why so many people seem to dislike scarlett. the most common reason i see is something like "her fans are annoying/overrate her" which is like... welcome to any popular and skilled player? idk, seems like there's more to cheer for than to dislike. she balance whines sometimes, but so does taeja  excited for kane though | ||

A week later, she lost a Showmatch to Kas 2-5, but noone seemed to really notice that. Then after Stephano retired, people started to call her "the best foreigner", when there was no question about Naniwa being the no.1 in 2013 and Snute being the number 1 in 2014. Overhype is, on it's own, not a good enough reason to dislike a player, but it's certainly a factor. Also casters, who were commentating her games, seemed to be under the impression, that everyone had to be a fan of her, which I saw no reason to. Another factor was, that her playstyle could be really annoying at times; I've ssen more than one game, where she took rather huge early game damage, continued to tutrle up with 7-8 spine-crawlers and then somehow won with 2-base mutas or something. Legitimate strategy of course, but if you happen to root for the other player, you still feel a bit betrayed. In her early days, there was also a pretty heavy infestor-focus, which is ofc fine, but wasn't that exciting to watch either. In general I think, that her playstyle wasn't attractive to watch for me, I preferred players like Life,Leenock or Vortix. Lastly (but probably a huge factor) I often found myself annoyed by the content or tone of her posts in here. All of those factors combined have influenced me to dislike her until the beginning of the second half of 2014. Idk what exactly happened there, but her comments started to be less annoying and more amusing, her fans started to (at least partly) accept the fact, that she is good, but not top shape Stephano/Naniwa/Snute(/Top-Korean)-good and I haven't seen her turtle behind a dozen spine-crawlers for a really long timec (Her constantly high skill is also a huge factor). On top of that, she actually did some really cool stuff (for example 2v2 with Templar), so she wandered into the rather huge pool of players, I don't have anything for or against. Sad to see her go, though, maybe not a huge loss for me, but a huge loss for the scene. Also with puck and Astrea qaulifying, one of my favorite useless random statistics is now probably not recoverable anymore (For some time Hasu had earned more than all US protoss combined [counting HuK as Canadian)). | ||

I had a little bit of hope that Scarlett would try but I guess that was proven wrong wasn't it? I've always done Liquibets with my Heart, and not my Head. Gotta be passionate. I would have definitely picked Astrea otherwise, as he looked quite a bit better in qualifier, and also probably practiced more. | ||
