It was a decent read anyway.

I'm sure your family would love to know more about your best friend. Send it anyway (I'm gonna send it to mine)

Scarlett is not my friend

Friend, crush, whatever you wanna call it

That's not very funny any more, the joke has gotten old

Shouldn't have attracted Scarlett's attention by cheering against her then

I didn't mean to though... it just sort of happened, then I went along with it for a while

i really disagree it's like so long and boring

also the tone is somewhat condescendant

not to mention the video game prodigy angle wich is like getting pretty old since it's in every single gaming article written about a competitive player

The article is so long precisely because it makes a very precise description of Scarlett's family, origins, personal background and behavior/personality traits and you feel like you're reading about a ghost? Oo

"casual and laconic" is a very specific style that he is aiming for, and that is stylistically mandated by the publication for which he works. it's not a bad way of approaching profiles. his job is to be there without being there, so the subject feels comfortable and personable (which cuts both ways: the journalist has to draw out reticent subjects, but he also has to curb the performance of outgoing or particularly motivated subjects who know all too well that he is their window to a target audience). the writing reflects that.

Well written article and yes if you don't appreciate the style New Yorker articles are written in, then this one won't appeal to you as well, but it has less to do with this article than the publication.

Anyway Scarletts made me her fan and I don't even watch SC2, I hope she does well in whatever she endeavours to do

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

I always loved watching Scarlett play because of her creep spread and the surrounds she maneuvers for in engagements. To me, at least in the earlier days, she was an example of a player with a unique style, even if she didn't have same list of top tournaments wins as an MVP or a DRG, kind of like TLO. As a a general fan of Starcraft I've always been drawn to players who don't just win but win in a way that other players don't. It raises more interesting questions about the metagame and gives me hope as a "solidly mediocre" player that I can create my own weird builds that would never work in a professional tournament but would make for memorable victories at the gold/plat level.

But when Scarlett moved from being a notable North American player to a top foreigner, that was very exciting. And when she moved from being a top foreigner to a top 30 world wide zerg, that was really cool to see. It was inspiring to see how quickly she emerged from nowhere and become a serious contender in any tournament she entered.

Also, there was always a sort of quiet dignity that she carried herself with that's becoming lost these days in society at large, and it's comforting to know that people like that can still succeed.

Could've said it right at the beginning I'd avoid wasting time on your posts.
Zest fanboy.

what am i trolling ?
the guy writes a whole paragraph about what makes the player stand out in his eyes and starts with that
i guess im fed up with english casting brainwashed viewers
and nowhere i said this isn't great for scarlett
my critic was merely stating that scarlett comes out of the article rather dull and uninteresting and to me that pretty much comes from the stupid angle and the way it's written (pretty badly)
i wished it came out much greater than what it is especially considering the length
the fact its prestigious and benefical for the player doesn't mean I have to praise it

Nobody is asking you to praise it. I am asking you not to be a dick to other posters with a different opinion. But whatever, you're right, everyone else is wrong etc etc.
