Going back to Korea will be a great thing to get her back on track. Practicing well from Kingston has to be close to impossible. The internet there is terrible, so playing on NA server even is hard, much less KR server. It's probably also a lot harder to practice when you have so many distractions at home. A change of scenery can be good.
Also, all players go through up and down periods. Bomber won WCS Global Finals S2, then dropped out of WCS Season 3 in the round of 32, and look at him now. At this point last year, Scarlett lost to Lucifron at the IPL Dice tourney, but came back strong throughout the rest of the year. It's always disappointing to see her lose, but she'll be back.
When will you ge going to Korea? Where will you stay? Might I ask for one more sick, sick streaming session? I've watched through all the VODs 3/4 times :D:D! Have fun there Scarlett♥

Don't worry, we know <3
Basically, THIS. Rest assured that your fans will never lose confidence in you, no matter what. You have nothing to worry about in this perspective; being a fan implies of course sticking also during hard times - everyone understands the pressure you went through last tournaments and is fully supportive.
Just handle methodically as always; see replays, spot where the mistakes are, and practice - things can only get better in Scarlett we trust, so to speak :p
This is like the part in Dragonball Z where Goku initially struggles against an even-stronger-than-before opponent, so he has to go through some sort of intense training regimen, after which he emerges having discovered powers he could never access before, and basically wipes the floor in an epic comeback showdown. Right now, we're just at the beginning of this 20-episode process.

Hey no reason to be sad! Some days you play your best and it just isn't your day. This happens in all sports.
I can only imagine the pressure you feel having a lot of dedicated fans and everyone always jawboning about how you HAVE to be the foreign hope. Well I say you just go to Korea, practice up and train your mind to not worry about what everyone else wants or expects all the time. Just train and make sure you have fun that way the game stays interesting for you. Play for you and the rest will come.
That being said we will always be here to support you because we know you are the best and can beat the best on any given day.

Yeah i really hope she ignores that "omg you were our only hope ffs" selfish junk that many feel they must throw at her (and in Naniwa's direction too, for that matter). How easy to mock hard working players who put in so much dedication over the years.
The fact that behind the world champion there's also a girl with feelings, the insane amount of work she put in to get to where she is, jumping from a tournament to another, the stress, the travel etc, the constant pressure - uninteresting to many. When she mentioned in the ESL video how tough and stressful it is to keep up and keep the bar high, everyone remembered that for exactly 29 seconds; just the amount needed to pretend you care.
The funny thing is, today they cheer for TooDming, when he will lose in the future (and it's a matter of time in this tough competition) everyone will throw trash at him and move on to the next.
