I like Scarlett as a representative player very much. It is sad to see that her recent results are discouraging her. It seems to be the game itself, which is understandable. SC2 can be kind of dull to begin with, and doing 10 hours a day...it will wear on you. If she is not really motivated, it's far better to cut the ties and move on than to stick around without really wanting to.
Is this because of of StarCraft 2 specifically, or if you had been playing Dota 2 or League of Legends these past few years, you'd be just as bored?
Yeah, any game.
although to be fair, it is a little hard to tell since she didn't go and play those games to nearly the same extent

But but... I don't want to change who my fave SC2 team is...

I really hope she stays as a fulltime pro  Stephano gone, Idra gone, Nerchio was always only semi-active, DRG vanished, Nestea vanished... if Scarlett leaves there is no really good foreign zerg anymore.

Suppy is going to have to become the next top zerg now that he is fulltime

why do you mention nestea and drg? o.o

Second-best foreigner. Hopefully she changes her mind and sticks it out for another year. She really deserves some sort of major tournament win.

Again, older progamers disappearing is not a bad sign or a problem, it's an inevitable process. If anything, the lack of new stars to replace the old guard should be a cause for concern.
I guess it's up to Elfi now.

Hopefully she keeps going, fulfil some of that potential.
Her timing of late has been bad, those wrist injuries and the break when playing the best SC2 I've seen from her.

but he is already 1/3rd of his way through his full time, he's going to start prepping for that MCAT in the summer so just winter and spring and then 'full time' that spends half the time in the books.

The comment about her being the best of both worlds, isn't bad.
The comments about not being able to find her in the niche section of pornohub is kind of offensive.

Well, it's natural that once it becomes harder to maintain your form (due to health issues, metagame or other reasons), many people lose interest in the game, if they have been top level before. That really has happened to a ton of people, most notably Stephano. Of course it's sad for the foreign scene, with only Naniwa left to cheer at the top level...

It's basically been a perfect shitstorm of things that all happened and made her really under-perform. Shit happens I guess.
I don't know though, unless you really want it, being a pro-gamer doesn't really work.

How does anyone know what Scarlett thought about 2GD's joke? Has she said anything about it?
I hope she keeps playing. she made a post on Reddit to the effect of "of course I was offended." it's been deleted since but it's pretty obvious from context what she said
The joke is in pretty poor taste, but to be fair, Scarlett seems to get offended about anything even remotely borderline.
Also threatened to retire before (albeit it due to injuries). Got to say, I really don't think this is such an apocalyptic event that some are making out.

Naniwa becomes more impressive for his longevity and consistent strength for each day that passes.

I agree, they really are important : (. Hopefully more interesting people pop up in the scene 'cause fighting games are killing eSports.
And what was the original title?

What if scarlett is thinking of going back to school? SC2 or any game is not a long term plan. She's been playing full time for a little while now, maybe she is thinking of moving forward with school soon to plan for the future? If thats the case by all means playing part time could be the best thing for her.

It seems the queen of blades is not done quite yet, well done! I did not expect that, maybe a miracle is actually possible here.

School is ruining esports too.
Well, either way, I hope new people come into the scene and keep it interesting.

He may not be the most likeable person in the scene but you got to give him that, that's for sure. Unlike most other foreigners, he just refuses to give up.
