I usually keep quiet but this is serious. Dear Scarlett it would be a great blow to the community to loose you. Have you thought about mentoring some younger players (particularly women) who could benefit from your experience? I think it would be a great way for your fans to find out about and support players who you think have what it takes to make it in eSports. Whatever you decide I hope your life is filled with the same joy I have received from your play. May David Kim bless you and your brood.

Objectively, Scarlett provides a good image to the Starcraft scene so for the scene it'd be good if she stayed
For the fans, it's a mixed bag. If the passion of the fans keeps her passionate, it's great. But if she's tired of the game and only stays to placate the fans, her results will probably suffer, which is agonizing.
Ultimately, the decision to retire or not ought to come down to only one criteria: whether it's right for her personally. And that's something we can't divine from a single short tweet.

These are the sort of things where esports and passion rule over all else. Even temp agrees this is bad. Please Scarlett, for San, for foreigners everywhere, and most importantly for the.sake of passion and seaports, PLEASE don't retire.

To Scarlett:

What ever you decide to do. I will support you. We will all support you

But none of us hope this will be the end. You are in my eyes one of THE most important players in Starcraft 2 ever

Whatever happens i will cheer for you, even when you don't play video games

Hail the real Queen of Blades

She basically got me into SC2 with her legendary game vs Bomber. She had a good run and IMO still has more to offer but if she's ready to wrap it up and get on with her life, so be it. I respect it. Hopefully she can win Season 1 if QXC can't. That's th e dream.

I wonder if her wrists hurts or if she's just bored of sc2.

Scarlett is like my fav foreigner. It would be sad to see her go. T____T It's bad for NA scene, but she knows what is best for herself, it's her decision/life not ours. <3
