Someone shouldn't be smiling ear-to-ear after getting eliminated from a tournament they spent weeks or months training for. Everyone takes it differently. | ||

I do not say what I said in the thousands of games I watched before this series, 90% of which featured one player who clearly is better than the other in that given series. She might as well just tap out each time she suffers one lost engagement or base. It's not like I'm saying she gave up in a good situation. She played badly. That I as well as anybody DO and should understand. | ||

Life only won 3-2 against Taeja, while winning 4-1 against MMA. TL is being perfectly reasonable when deciding that. | ||

Different people react in different ways and btw I always remeber Scarlett reacting like that after a loss Oh really? Let's look at her reaction after being eliminated from GSL this last season: She's straight-faced and thinking in her mind what went wrong. How about last season after getting 3-0'd by soO: Same reaction as before. She's said multiple times that GSL is more important to her than WCS, so maybe that's why she seemingly doesn't care: this tournament is like a vacation to her. But if that were true she'd be playing in the GSL qualifiers, but she's said that she isn't. I don't know what's going on in her mind, but it's clear that SC2 isn't her only priority right now. She's 24, around the age a lot of players start to retire, and she hasn't had the results that she's had in the past aside from that week she won IEM and advanced to the Ro8 of GSL. She's probably thinking about her future and wondering how much longer she plans on playing this game. | ||

I know it's a big streaming game but not a big tournament one PUBG is still pretty buggy last time I checked, and observing the game is a nightmare since you have to look at 100 perspectives instead of just 2-12 like most games. That combined with Fortnite taking away a lot of viewership doesn't bode well for the game. | ||

I know it's a big streaming game but not a big tournament one It does decent but question is will it last, I dont think they have really found the best format/presentation for tournaments yet it can be pretty frustrating to watch and there is always people complaining about RNG. | ||

I know it's a big streaming game but not a big tournament one In general they don't get many viewers unless they let the streamers play it. Guys like Shroud can add 100K by just being there. A couple have gotten huge viewerships without them, but that's mostly due to the ridiculous popularity of the game at the time as the hype built around the tournament. I don't see them ever repeating it. Any stream can get high numbers when there's hype and the event is in the news. It's is a nice concept and I would like to see it suceed, but in terms of quality it's terrible compared to other fps esports. | ||

You seem a very passionate fan and prorably understand her better than me , but your assumption still looks very ambitious to me. Hope you are wrong , NA needs Scarlett so badly | ||
