The only example I can think of was Savior playing as Terran against Zerg a lot in practice and trying it in once live match and getting horribly destroyed.

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
"we reinstall your sc2 daily so you can uninstall for guaranteed satisfaction, call us 555uninstall"

But in all honesty, this made me lose all respect for the game. I literally cannot play this game anymore.
When a foreign Zerg "practices a Protoss build a bit" with other foreigners, and that's enough to win against a GSL Champion who reacted perfectly, didn't overdrone, didn't slip with his macro or micro, had tons of queens, lings and a spine in place...
There is just something wrong. I don't think this can even be debated.
DRG reacted wrong

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.

gogogo Scarlett!!
happy Canada day

People lose bo1s all the time
why bring balance into the picture at all?

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.

This is amazing and one of the most refreshing moments in sc2.
Plus Jaedong sux.
|
I wanna see a showmatch between Scarlett's Zerg and Protoss vs TheLittleOne's Zerg and Terran.

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.

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.
el oh el how can't you get the reference? you're not into starcraft if you didn't get that
