EPTOn the match, DRG did not scout and got punished. Also, he was on less wokers than Scarlett which is not a very comfortable position to be in as a Zerg trying to hold the continuous onslaught of Protoss units

There is just something wrong. I don't think this can even be debated. It's a one time thing man. This is unique and you should enjoy it, instead of turning it into an argument. And with that, Scarlett's toss is GM level. Meaning that if she catches DRG offguard both mentally and ingame, she stands a chance. Which is what happened! Crazy, I love it! :D | ||

There is just something wrong. I don't think this can even be debated. Its not that strange. When you play at a very high level you normally practiced all 3 races enought to understand them correctly. I actually did the same thing in broodwar once vs a player who was far better than me and won vs him because he had no idea what to expect. That beeing said, DRG dind scout that build at all. When he did know he was only capable of going ling/queen, and thats not exactly perfect. Its a great thing to do on stage, and it does feel cool to watch it (I actually scremed at home when i saw the win) but its not something as big as some crazy comebacks or similar. | ||

There are other threads dealing with Protoss OP'ness, take your complaints there you will find many a sympathetic ear. | ||

Also: TH000. Granted, SC2 is a different game, but offracing and winning shouldn't be that shocking. | ||

Not really sure what DRG was thinking though, he scouted the one gas and there are few builds bar naked gateway allins that you do from there. He didn't get to scout the natural iirc, so he didn't know whether there was gasses taken there. | ||

I mean the fight was going on for a few minutes and his micro didn't slip... it wasn't just Scarlett walked in there and it was like "oopsie, DRG overdroned without defense, gg" What league are you not to know that lings don't hold a 6-7 gate? You need a roach warren and he did not have it. I play Z by the way, just to say I am not a protoss. | ||

This does not need to be debated, if what you were saying is true, then this build could not be stopped by zerg and protoss had a 100% winrate in that matchup. DRG did not play perfectly. | ||

Rip in Peperoni BtT, i don´t think that Protoss is imbalanced just because Scarlett offraced a game and beat DRG. You have to keep some things in mind. First DRG isn´t in his best condition lately so you can´t just call him a former GSL Champion who got beaten by a foreign scrub. Scarlett is playing pretty well atm. The other thing is, i think Scarlett could not have won a macro game vs DRG. Practicing a build on a high level like Scarlett is, isn´t that big, doesn´t matter which race you play. If she just practiced the BO 40 times it does not take that long and is super hard to do. The last thing in my opinion is that DRG also did not reacted 100% perfect and everything together makes a win for Scarlett. | ||

I don't think this can even be debated. in bo1 offrace anything can happen. even if its a platinum league vs GSL champion not to mention almost every progamer can off race at a low GM level anyway. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://s3.postimg.org/wm23fylab/scarlett.png) | ||

Imo protoss all-ins are way too easy to execute and way too hard to hold (probably therefore nexus cannon was beneficial for pvp matchup). | ||

When you see Naniwa or Dayshi beating Jaedong, a win in offrace is nothing. We know that is not a game based on skill, simply on timing and reaction. Scarlett won the shifumi, but I'm happy for her Naniwa was one of the best foreigners in SC2,and Jaedong had notoriously tenuous ZvP o.O Anyways, congratulations to Scarlett for outplaying DRG that series | ||
