Complaints about moderation and freedom of speech are for the website feedback forums. They will be treated as being off topic and dealt with appropriately. No more Iron Lady talk, no more gender debate. This is a thread about a StarCraft player. Last I checked what's in between your legs has no impact on how you play the game. I agree with some of the comments here that the moderation on this thread has been dreadful. It's way too soft. I have gone ahead and simply deleted a bunch of comments that fail TL's community standards. Yes, those standards are determined by the mods. Yes, those standards are not perfect nor even uniformly applied. But we try our best. Spare us your righteous indignation over any notional impairment of free speech. This is a private site. It's a club. There is no "right" to free speech here. We only tolerate quality speech. By who's standards? Ours. Go read the TL Ten Commandments. And if you don't like this policy or our way of running our house, leave. - mensrea | ||

Having played on my friend's Macbook (which is apparently what Scarlett uses), it's laggy and choppy. It's not so much that it's a laptop specifically, but that most laptops don't have the performance specs to run the game without things getting a little jittery. | ||

Playing on a PC is a much more enjoyable experience. Laptops overheat much more, in large engagements the FPS drops considerably, and like you said the screen is smaller which makes microing harder as well as being able to spot things like drops in the mini map. | ||

Right now I am honestly thinking, well she really just got picked up because she is a girl (I know this is a bad attitude, but I really think it describes the situation). I feel that there are several male players out there who are just as good but will not be given this opportunity because they don't carry the hype that a female player does. Only time will tell whether this was a good decision by Eclypsia or not. That being said. Good luck Scarlett, please prove me wrong! | ||

And there are players worse than Scarlett who are only on teams much higher profile than Eclypsia solely because they're entertaining and thus marketable. ESPORTS is a business, not a meritocracy. She's also quite talented, certainly good enough to be on a pro team. The fact that she's a girl certainly helped the amount of attention she got, but trust me, she would've gotten picked up whether she was a dude or a lady. | ||

Im pretty sure you are wrong she not only played this big tourney to qualify she was making some nice and sick plays at IPL wich were bertter than nearly all foreighners showed. I guess she is one of the Top 4 Non-Koreans ATM wich could be wrong (maybe im just hyped) but only HUK Stephano Naniwa are on eye level as well. I think on the IPL-4 17 out of the Top 18 were Korean ^^ Not that she is there already but she came out of nowhere and i believe with proper training... And she is not the "Girly-Gamer" you would expect. Make some research and you will find out that the gender wont be such a advertising factor  | ||

Make some research and you will find out that the gender wont be such a advertising factor I'm like, the biggest Scarlett fanboy there is, but seriously, top 4 foreigner? Top 20 would be exceedingly generous. She has some serious potential, but there's a lot of refinement issues that need to be addressed in her play. There's a fairly significant advantage to coming in as a complete unknown and your opponent having absolutely no idea what your tendencies are, and I think that if she kept playing the way she does at tournaments she'd get in some trouble. She's very stylistic, and from what I've seen of her ZvP and ZvT (I casted all of the replays she's made available), it's fairly exploitable. or maybe you just add a little luck to any other good foreigner in 1 tournament and they would achieve the same thing people are SOOOO result oriented in starcraft 2 this is insane To be fair, she seems to basically just be a complete raw talent, her play's fairly unorthodox and a little rough around the edges against super-tight players like Oz. I think that with a team to talk to and work out strategies with, she'll quickly outclass most of the people that are currently on her skill level. | ||
