Yeah. She reminds me a little bit of IdrA in that she is so damn good, but then she lets the belief that Protoss is absolutely unbeatable get into her head so she just can't pull the wins out like she can against Zerg and Terran.


I bet you Idra has an-Arya like list of names and it’s tree people: HuK, Cruncher, MC...



For reals tho Scarlett’s mental game is miles better than Idra’s... though yeah it could be better.

"Better mental than Idra" is a really low bar.

<div style="float: left; padding-right: 10px;"><img src="http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Waxangel/misc/raviface.png"></div>"Cheesadelphia was a game of who can take a game off of Neeb. He lost two games: One game he lost to Masa, and the other game he lost to himself. Neeb still had some close games, not only losing that one game to Masa—which I think was a very legitimate game to lose—but he also had a close game versus Cham. If you go look at game one of the finals of Cheeseadelphia, Cham looked really solid there."


Could you please edit the link to go to our channel and not the one currently linked? Proper link is here
. The one in the article is a content theft channel that uses bots to get games uploaded hours after the broadcast ends :\

Edit: Thanks for fixing this! I appreciate it <3

Yeah, she plays so confident and smooth in ZvZ and ZvT even when she's way behind, and it's what wins her games, but she doesn't do the same against Protoss.

Dropping a series in Group Stage 3 is par for the course for Neeb oddly enough.

Wouldn't have been able to CLUTCH that series against Zanster had he not lost to Lambo beforehand.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Neeb loves to experience the taste of defeat early at WCS events so that he doesn't need to later in playoffs

You can wish and wish that Neeb will be your foreign hope. He'll fall like the rest of them when the times comes.

Don't WCS events give points and seeding to the grand finals @ blizzcon? So, it would be valid. A foreign player is playing mediocre starcraft and will be gifted a spot in the finals this year. There are 50+ koreans that are better than him, but since he gets free seeding into the main event those 50 don't stand a shot. So, fluff articles like this, while giving press for the neglected WCS, just mislead people into thinking he is anywhere near the skill level of Korean pros.

Including B teamers? I guess I am loosely using the term pro, but I would say there are at the very least 50 korean SC players who are better than him. And it was proven last grand finals. Foreigners had like 50% of the spots, by the time they went to the RO8 they only made up 25% and the only reason they were any % in the RO4 was they faced each other in the RO8.

I wouldn't mind if there were 2 foreign seeds, that the top 32 or 16 foreigners had to fight for, but giving them half the seeds to the grand finals screw better players out of money that they should be contending for.

You're saying nonsense dude. Here's a ranking of Korean players: http://aligulac.com/periods/207/?page=1&sort=&race=ptzrs&nats=KR. By the time you reach rank ~50, you're hanging out with people like Dandy, Soloist, HHQuanta who are amateurs who have around 6k MMR on the Korean server.

He is for sure top 16 world when playing at his best.

no way. Classic, Stats, Zest, herO, Dear and sOs are all much better than him.
Since his Kespa Cup win he bombed out of every global tournament, WCS just gives the illusion that he's this untouchable god who can 4-0 peak INnoVation but the reality is different.
last year he tried GSL and got destroyed in the qualifiers by Hurricane.

for the other races Inno, TY, Maru, Byun, Gumiho, aLive, Dark, Rogue, Solar and soO are definitely better than him so he barely can't be top 16.

My friends and I haven't been able to watch the tournament. We went to go get some snacks from the kitchen, Neeb is camping in his base. We come back, he's camping in his base. These games just aren't exciting anymore. I miss the glory days where there were you weren't able to set a timer for the game ending based on the bases and the builds. There's nothing exciting about oracle harass because it's nearly impossible to lose an oracle so there's no real micro feeling to it. My friends had to wake me up when the match was over and they were laughing saying they shouldn't of slept last night so they could take a nap now too.
