So technically the maximum satisfaction and pleasure would be:
Get home
Play ladder
Uninstall sc2
Reinstall overnight
Repeat next day ?

I see a business opportunity

There is just something wrong. I don't think this can even be debated.

One of my worst memories of all times when I gave in to nostalgia and went to see WC3 tournament for a bit. I stumbled upon my favorite human players fighting each other. "Human mirror! I love human mirror" was the last thought before I saw that both of them play disgusting elves

Anybody can beat anybody in SC2. It just can happen way more with Protoss. It is more of a failure of design rather than balance.

OBVIOUSLY, he did not react correctly. Or he'd have won.

Catz pointed out the mistake DRG was making during the game (in his cast with Day9). He was saying that DRG was doing a greedy and risky build by taking three hatches so fast without any real upgrades.

Just think about it objectively. Scarlett is obviously not a protoss player, what possible strategy could a relatively inexperienced player do that could be successful as protoss? Something that does not require an intimate knowledge of a race and its capabilities? There is only one answer, an all-in or some kind of early timing attack.

For some reason DRG thought otherwise, he played greedy, and left himself susceptible to an early timing attack, probably the *only* type of attack that Scarlett could ever hope to master. It was a really poor decision; in hindsight this is literally the only thing DRG should have been preparing for, and he could have easily won a macro game if he played safely.

I wouldn't blame the game on this one, I think DRG just underestimated Scarlett and assumed he could win being greedy

Scarlett saved SC2 with this game! If anything, this is a perfect illustration that Protoss can win without too much effort. Thank you Scarlett! I hope that David Kim saw this game.

Wasn't race switching disallowed for the last couple of years in Kespa tournaments? BTW, if Zerg Royal was a map in individual tournaments I think Flash would have had more chance to beat Jaedong on it with Zerg than with Terran.

how does it feel to be a dirty protoss
Did Scarlett at least apologize for playing that race?

Why exactly should she apologize ?!
She is a pro that can learn a race in a fraction of the time it takes for others to learn, and she proved it. She owes apologies to no one.

Good vid. Scarlett wrote history that day, every sc2 player and their mother is grateful for it.
