How do you support Scarlett not being a top 5 foreigner? Who is clearly better than her currently besides Serral/Reynor/Clem? She is definitely in the tier immediately below them and everyone in that tier is roughly equal imo without enough clear evidence to order it because of the lack of cross region tournaments without Koreans.
If we go by statistics on aligulac as of the time of this post, scarlett is #36. Which non-koreans are above her? Uthermal, Time, Soul, Special, Astrea, Neeb, Lambo, MaxPax, Elazer, Showtime, HeroMarine, Reynor, Serral and Clem. That would put scarlett as #15 out of the top 16 non-koreans with Mana filling the final 16th spot.
Aligulac overrates all of Europe dramatically. I'm surprised it rates Astrea above her. In an important match I would bet on Scarlett over most of that group besides Neeb/Showtime/Special/Time and I would still give her a very high chance vs them.
I'd say as much as Scarlett can feel like a choker from time to time, she's definitely prone to overperform in big tournament, in a random online cup I'd say she's rather low in the ranking. But in big tournament, she's capable of pulling off big upset in a way many other foreigner aren't.
When was the last time Scarlett overperformed in a notable tournament before she got out of the group stage here?
GSL season 1 2020 and WESG 2019 were good performances.
The only noteworthy player she beat at WESG was Special and he wasn't nearly as good as he is today And in GSL she literally only beat retired players lol. And one upset against Rogue I guess
