Well, Scarlett was just trying to play the way that would give her the best chance of winning so I don't blame her.

Anyway, congrats neeb for navigating through so much cheesy business!

I think it would help to have some sort of actual fan presence in the ESL studio. I know its not the largest venue but they used to be able to house 50-70 people when it was open to the public (pushing closer to 100 during the finals). I know the games were lacking but having an actual audience I think would certainly help a little

In fairness, Neeb's late game PvZ is really strong so I think it was wise of her to play aggressively in the early game. She gambled on surprising him with repeated all-ins and unfortunately, Neeb did not tilt or play with the expectation that she should play standard after winning a game with an all-in. I hope she'll eventually win a WCS this year. Was a big shame that Scarlett and Reynor didn't make Blizzcon last year; I think they were both definitely top 8 foreigners in terms of skill.

Honestly surprised Liquipedia counts this tournament as a Premier, since it doesn't meet the 2/3 regions or the offline requirements.

Well, she has made like 30k $ + salaries in 3 months of competition... basically more than every foreigner except for Serral and Neeb.... and she's third at WCS standings atm....

That's pretty ok for "just being there and not caring"....

The fact that she loses to Neeb or Serral shouldn't surprise us, basically because both of them are clearly better SC2 players than Scarlett, even when she can be able to beat them.

No way that's a premier lol. Also a tournament that exclude all European and korean player can have that much of a weight (same goes for the European one).

it doesn't meet this requirement either
"Top 16 players of the tournament played offline"
it was only top 6 played offline, neither of these WCS Winter events should count as Premier, they're not even close

Liquipedia definitions of what's premier or not are sometimes off so I don't really care anymore what they call it.
They don't consider Serral's HSC win premier for some reason despite having the same prizepool (20k) as a lot of HSCs that are considered premier.
Also they count Crossfinals and SSL challenger premier for some reason.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

SSL Challenger in particular is completely ludicrous to call a Premier. I think WCS Winter is considered a Premier because it's a WCS stop even though it's almost fully online play and region-locked even further than normal.

Yeah they're not taking those definitions very seriously.

As for the tournament: It was okay, looks good layouts for players but the long wait between some of the games and the extra hour spent doing the FFA between the semi and grand finals was boring. It's like they had a contract to make the event last the whole day even though they only had 6 players and i missed the first minute or two of so many games because i was alt tabbed or afk during a break.

Big Gz to Neeb! Gz to Scarlett too for that second place price money $$

Scarlet´s lategame is beastly. And she cannot be contesting the crown for best of americas if she isn´t willing to play straightup lategame against her contestants. There must have been other reasons like fatigue or unwillingness to showcase builds.

In any case that was quite a dissappointing final.

premier tournaments shouldn't be just because of the money they pay out its the quality of the competition that should matter. iem and wesg were premier ones because of the talent of the players that showed up this was one where basically you had 3 a team players going up against the b team.
