Chatty, accessible writing at its best.  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 | ||

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. | ||

Quit being such a blowhard. 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 | ||

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. | ||
