I don't know why, but I dream about Scarlett losing half of her army to a nuke and getting knocked out of the GSL.

That isn't a dream, that's a VOD

The real question is how Scarlett will somehow manage to lose despite having a game-winning lead. We've seen moving into nukes, we've seen moving into mines, what will it be this time?

Scarlett really should get ro16 at some point. Her matches against Innovation, aLive, and Keen were really convincing (minus the key mistakes).
That being said this group is seriously tough. aLive and Rogue are the clear favourates

KeeN 2-0'd her and he was probably the worst TvZ player in Code S that season, that's really far off from convincing.
Those key mistakes make all the difference between Ro16 and Ro32, if she can't focus and stop herself from making those, well, she'll probably get stuck in Ro32 for a while longer.

In a lot of cases, the difference between ro16 and ro32 isn't stupid throws, it's a difference in speed/macro/general skill. Billowy, Creator, Keen etc are examples of those standard ro32 players. Scarlett had series where she legitimately played well Inno and aLive but fell short with some stupid throws. That's why I say she's capable of ro16

Well, she played three macro games against aLive in Season 1, and gave a pretty good showing, but made some key mistakes (attacking without her BLs) which cost her the series. In Season 2 she lost the first game straight-up but was in a good position until The Nuke™ happened in the second. In Season 3, Inno was playing super sloppy and far from his best–he threw away three full medivacs in the first game, didn't scout at all and had the wrong comp in the second, etc.
So I'd rate Scarlett's ZvT as good but not great; she's nowhere close to Rogue or Dark, but if she can avoid making key mistakes like she did in all three seasons last year (hardly a given) then she can make it to the Ro16. But I agree with Elentos–those key mistakes are exactly what distinguishes a Ro32 player from a Ro16 one. And thus far, Scarlett hasn't shown that she's worthy of the Ro16.

In a lot of cases, but not Scarlett's. And I would argue that making stupid throws is a worse problem to have than insufficient speed or macro, because those things have pretty obvious fixes–just practice more. Stupid throws on the other hand are a nebulous judgement/mental issue, and not so easily solved.

I disagree, stupid/random throws are something that don't happen every game. With enough attempts you'll get lucky and not make them for a series or two. The mistakes she made were random/isolated, she doesn't make them every series.
Having lesser skill in general is not something you can get past with more attempts, you actually have to improve (hence why some players never get past ro32)
edit: my point is just that, while Inno was playing below his normal level, almost beating the literal champ should indicate someone is capable of reaching the ro16 at least. I'd apply the same logic to her beating aLive in S1 as well. With every other player that never makes ro16, it's down to general skill being lower. With Scarlett she keeps being about to win, and then throwing it

I use that logic to try to convince myself that soO will win a GSL one day.

To set an alarm or not to set an alarm. That is the question.

It might be your last chance to see Rogue the patch-zerg win a game.  Blizzard's finishing him off at the end of the month
