I hope Scarlett can find a ZvP specialist to help her! She hates that MU as much as NaNiwa hates PvZ.

And sometimes, there are some players who do take a break and come back better ((T)FanTaSy did that and did much better in Proleague and got into Code S).

Wooow. If she leaves...That would be a disaster for the SC2 scene :S


If I were Blizzard I secretly pay her money to have her stay. She is worth so much for the scene. Maybe giving all the money in SC2 to one nation for an entire year wasn't the best idea.

Scarlett and Naniwa are really the only ones at high level Korean play. Would be a shame losing 50 % of that!

I can understand getting bored of this / any game when you play it too much. I tried playing SC2 full time for just like 2 months and I was exhausted and bored even though I love the game and wanted to compete. Your body starts to hurt as well, it's really tough and when you can't even get the glory of getting a tournament win despite being top 2 non-Korean player...It has got to be tough.

She has been really whining a lot lately about ZvP, she should fix that attitude. No wonder it doesn't make fun when you talked yourself into believing there were severe imbalances.

If it's not fun it's not fun. PvZ is fucking horrible. I don't know what she is supposed to do to make it more fun.

Slasher needs to do a follow up interview about how she feels now that she had a top 3 play of the year vs. bomber there.

Funny how I don't recall her being so critical in WoL when she Broodlord Infestored all the time :p

That's not really fair, as the impression those comments gave is that it's a frustration with the grind/process of being fulltime than any matchup specific issues.

Hopefully her performance thus far will serve as a a reminder of the good times though

I'm sure it will, until tomorrow when she has to play sOs.

not that surprising. honestly i'm surprised we don't hear this from more pros. i'd chew my hand off if i had to play as much of any one game as these folks do. thankfully most continue to suffer for my entertainment... it's just a bummer that she's one of my favorite players to watch. hopefully her 'part time' play is still fun to watch even if she doesn't do as well.

You don't try to push for esport and tolerate such behavior at such a level.

On that basis you'd not be able to make fun of another gender (and a crapload of other situations) either, as that same principle should apply then too.


In general, society would be better if we did not enjoy ridiculing those different from us. I know you think it's normal to attack others, but society is better off without your mind set.

Perhaps, equally I don't feel here is really the place.

If Scarlett had listed community antagonism as a contributory factor to her frustrations with the game, then for sure let's have that discussion. As it is, in terms of direct interaction (i.e. not Twitch spam) judging from the TL forums Scarlett gets a lot more love than hate.

Literally doesn't surprise me. NA and EU doesn't have the industry to support pro-gamers full time as a career, and it's not even a stable post-game choice for anyone cause who knows what will happen after Legacy

We are losing foreigners playing full time all day. Of course Scarlett says that she is bored, but it is obviously also a problem of lacking monetary incentives. The games were a lot worse but the scene was so much more interesting 2 years ago before this Koreans everywhere bullshit started...


This "koreans everywhere bullshit" is the only reason I switched from bw to sc2, like many others did. The skills of games today are so much better than it was before. People that watch Sc2 for "personalities" are definitely not that huge of a fan of the game... I think most real fan of Starcraft want to watch the best games they can, which are obviously played by koreans player. Ive been a fan since 1999 and beside Stephano, not a single foreigners was actually exciting for me to watch because their skills are so lacking compared to the top kespa players. Just had to give you another perspective on this.

Yeah, getting distracted happens.

Like...I was a math grad student, and I love math, but I spent a lot of time getting obsessed about various videogames.

And then I got a job in the game industry, and I love making games, but even there I spend perhaps unhealthy amounts of time on games made by other developers.

And then I look at the pro players and...especially the Koreans, they play so much SC2 that they will play other games when they want to play something for fun. It's not the way I play starcraft 2, where I sometimes screw around with stuff like mass queens in 4v4 just to have fun.

At the end of the day, a job is a job. Sometimes it is hard tedious work, and that's why you get paid to do it.

Who exactly have we lost that was worth a lot to the scene and couldn't be replaced?

People do grow out of gaming.
Some people don't, some people do.

Why can't the community just accept it when she has pretty much stated the reason clearly? Do we really have to blame it on the game/balance/wcs and just ignore this fact?

Not making fun of people if you don't know how they'll take it is indeed a good idea when thousands of people are watching you.

Sounds like you just singled out a lot of famous comedians.

There's a difference between ill-willed personal insults and humorous off-beat comments about someone for laughs. But we obviously disagree, I take it.
