Honestly, most pros should be capable of executing an 8 minute all in at any race with a degree of practice. Couple that with DRG's lack of scouting information (as far as his vision was concerned, he saw Scarlett's lack of a 2nd gas at the MAIN, a gateway, and a cybernetics core, he didn't know ANYTHING about what was going on in the natural) so it's not terribly shocking. Still entertaining as hell and really happy for Scarlett that it worked out. | ||

Being able to execute an all in using any race should be pretty easy for any pro player; I agree with that. I'm not sure why DRG even bothered trying to be so greedy. If he got into any sort of macro game vs scarlett im sure he would have won. | ||

There have been examples of that even in SC-BW. Scarlet switches to protoss and beats DRG Classic switches to protoss and beats GSL When was the last time someone with a brain switched to terran? | ||

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. This attitude is what made me lose respect for the game. | ||

There's a lot of silliness in this thread. Post-match Scarlett said this was a specific build/plan she developed for this map and this player (DRG), not just a spur of the moment "let's play protoss herp derp" decision. Go Scarlett! | ||

Actually yes, it is absolutely necessary when posting on internet forums(especially TL's starcraft2 forums) to complain about something, you HAVE to as an average human being, just complain instead of really try to understand the situation. | ||

People only win SC2 from their opponent making more mistakes than them ... so by extension players only win GSL titles by being very lucky against a series of players who just happen to be making big mistakes allowing them to win. | ||

Completely accurate, but an awful way to view the game for anyone. | ||

She owes apologies to no one. Good vid. Scarlett wrote history that day, every sc2 player and their mother is grateful for it. it's a reference to an old IdrA game | ||

And if he used that 16 months to practice more terran, he would still be in code B. But I guess it is easier to ignore the ovvious. | ||
