After the tournament, Scarlett revealed that she has actually been giving serious consideration to switching from Zerg to Race-Picker (ZvT, ZvP, PvZ), because she's simply not confident in her ZvZ.
Was lucky enough to be there live to see this, the crowd was going nuts, it was absolutely awesome. I ended up buying a shirt and marker just so I could get it signed by the best Protoss NA. Absolutely incredible.
You're a moron. She practised a cheesy build like what Hellbat push against Z is for Terran and despite DRG scouting only one gas, he misjudged and didnt react accordingly. So yes protoss might be overpowered, but in this case it wasnt down to that.
Mearis Il Nah, if any race needs redesign it's terran. Terran is just bio-ball all game every game at the top levels. And all the people on the ladder just do the same because they merely copy the people at the top levels. It's so boring. Plus, toss and terran macro systems are fundamentally similar. If they revamped it well, all 3 races would have unique macro.
Every race has step by step builds. You can do all ins with every one of them. And if you watched the video, it wasnt just the steps, Scarlett microed quite well and DRG had slowlings that couldnt do shit vs stalkers.
One thing people seem to forget, the element of surprise is HUGE in Starcraft. At the highest level, people have such a deep understanding of their opponents that doing something like this completely throws you off. DRG did not know what to expect, considering he had never seen it before. and I don't care who you are, 3 bases with no speed and no roaches always loses against a 2 base 7 gate attack.
Psh, in retrospect the theory around 7:30 that Scarlett had failed to account for extra queens. HA. Hilarious and ridiculous considering the style she friggin' invented and perfected later. HA, I say. HA. God I love this game. Heh.
In just the same way you can choose zerg and 6 or 9 pool. Pick terran and bunker rush. Pick protoss and 4 gate. Shall we redesign protoss so they are unable to rush? Then will it be fair? This type of build can be countered if zerg gets roaches rather than relying on queens with almost no dps. The forward pylon should be scouted and if not scouted it should be sniped to stop further warp ins.
Thank you! finally someone who is NOT crying op lol. I don't like things about Zerg and Terran. But i don't go around posting "OP" on the net. The fact is he got out played. It has nothing to do with the fact she was toss. He didn't read what she was doing correctly didn't scout the pylon/snipe the pylon, and her micro was better therefore she wins. Nothing op about it.
What do you guys think, will this great win by Scarlett change StarCraft 2 progaming, as in master multiple races to surprise your opponent by changing race during a Best Of X? #queenofsideblades
she was trolling in the lobby, she picked protoss saying "oh look i'm gonna play protoss lololol" and wanted to change last second but the races got locked and she couldnt change race. She is one of the best zergs in the world, never played protoss professionaly before, thats what makes this hilarious. Also it proves protoss is broken as hell :P
Blergh Nope anyone who watched the video or any of the interviews knows that you pulled that story out of your ass. She planned to do this once in the tournament and she even perfected the build with Harstem. Its also one of the most difficult builds for zerg to hold especially without roaches.

10:21 I like the fact that DRG took it like a real sportsman.
9:36 notice Harstem in the front row jumping and fist pumping. He talked to her about the build she said in an interview.
I just noticed Harstem and came to comment, do you have a link to the interview?
Things like this are why Scarlett is totally my favorite player.
That was simultaneously the best and worse thing to ever happen to SC2. "she has protoss picked and she messaged me to 'believe'", amazing.
9:57 "Scarlett play terran" LOL

that's how you win a crowd, with a proper use of the "Artosis Pylon" strat.
Harstem in the front row jumping in excitement
"I have a confession to make: I am not left-handed."
That might be the best analogy I've read for this game.
Brilliant :)
Serral switching to terran: "I'm not left-handed either"
Scarlett's face at 9:38 is the reason I play video games.
For moments like that - when you can't do anything else but laugh.
9:39 - the face that every protoss player makes after a win. XD
David Kim's masterpiece: Protoss
as long as you practice on a specific build a ton anything can happen
I agree, protoss needs to be redesigned
Mearis Il
not gonna happen, seems like it's really hard for everyone to deal with that fact.

Queen of Psi-Blades
As a Protoss player, I'm not sure whether to be flattered that she chose P, or insulted that she makes playing P look easy...
+Neal X rule of Protoss : cheese or get cheesed
After Catz says "and she might play protoss", Day9 turns to his monitor. I think what was going throu his head was "Error, brain shut down inminent"
another classic moment on sc2 history .
LITERALLY Step 1: pick protoss, Step 2 ??, Step 3 win
too bad u cant do it, and get outta bronzeleague :(
lintownboy
actually i did get out of bronze with protoss xD

Best game I have seen in ages. Kudos to Scarlett.
The best part is that the strategy was basically a parade push. So a zerg playing protoss like a terran. I love this game.
Oh. My. God.
such a good feel moment
great shot of harstem jumping up and fist pumping
Scarlett saved eSPORTS with this game.
This video turned 7 today. I remember watching it a minute after it came out. Good times
Scarlett will always be my favourite pro gamer. So many years in the starcraft scene and yet one of the best still now.

This has got to one of the most awesome Starcraftily things I've ever seen!
THE MINDGAMES!!!!
Finally MLG uploaded this game, i can finally stop pressing F5
Glad I found this. So much better than most matches and the announcers were great.
I miss this sc2 scene. Hoping the game stays alive and well. Will always be a fan of Starcraft
Psh, in retrospect the theory around 7:30 that Scarlett had failed to account for extra queens. HA. Hilarious and ridiculous considering the style she friggin' invented and perfected later. HA, I say. HA.
God I love this game. Heh.
Such a feel good moment for gamers. GG scarlet we love u
"The Queen of Psi-Blades" :D
So Happy, that i was able to see this a few days ago. Fuck World Cup because this was more awesome than soccer could ever be! :D
Was so pleased I watched this instead, was an excellent match. I think her gateway positioning may have contributed to the result in this game :)
*Football :V
You're gay, football is the greatest game in the world
Because the most people watch it? Good logic
nathonas
Wow, such excite. Meatheads running after a ball seing who gets it in a net. BUT OH, theres a twist. You cant touch the ball with your hands.
this epic beyond mesures !!! LOOOOOOOOL THE PAWARRR OF PROTOSS
This is Scarlett's version of civil disobedience vs. David Kim. +1 Scarlett
Scarlett, I love you!!! Keep bringing us good games like that!!
best pro-gamer of Sc our fine continent has produced, she is ^^
This is perfect. Scarlett mai waifu

hehe nexus first, what is next , hatch first into 9 pool or maybe cc first into double 11 rax :P
bunker rushing is so easy against queen and OP nexus. Sure...
Thank you! finally someone who is NOT crying op lol. I don't like things about Zerg and Terran. But i don't go around posting "OP" on the net. The fact is he got out played.

He also took an early third hatch.
My Queen
I LOVE YOU SCARLETT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
easily my fav sc2 video of the year!!!!
What was the name of the song at the end of the video?
"BELIEVE" lmao
WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE 3094760347634 VIEWS?!!?
She is the best. And the most beautiful.. 😍😍😍😍😍
Just when i thought i couldn't be surprised scarlett pulls THIS? Omg.. i fucking love her lol
Greatest game i have watching in years
scarlett is a fucking beast. my fav foreigner.
What do you guys think, will this great win by Scarlett change StarCraft 2 progaming, as in master multiple races to surprise your opponent by changing race during a Best Of X? #queenofsideblades
wow. most entertaining game i've seen this month
lard have mercy, lard of the rings
Beautiful performance. Great stuff.
That was frickin' brilliant.
Wow... that was so fucking boss... I think that's the craziest thing I've seen in starcraft...
Scarlett is amazing.
And here we are years later and they have STILL not fixed Protoss.
YES!!!! Best game to date.
No fucking way! Soo epic! DRG LIKE WHAT??
OMG Forcefields OP!!! BLIZZ PLS NERF!!!
Protoss obviously OP!
why? because one of the best players in the world, with past experience of playing protoss wins 1 game?
lintownboy Its a joke dude
Easily the best part is Harstem jumping up in the air at the end of the match.
Isn't Scarlett a Zerg player? I was confused I just noticed at the end Scarlett was the Protoss
Thats whats makes this amazing. She picked Protoss for this game and she beat a former GSL champion wth offrace.
she was trolling in the lobby, she picked protoss saying "oh look i'm gonna play protoss lololol" and wanted to change last second but the races got locked and she couldnt change race. She is one of the best zergs in the world, never played protoss professionaly before, thats what makes this hilarious. Also it proves protoss is broken as hell :P
Blergh Nope anyone who watched the video or any of the interviews knows that you pulled that story out of your ass. She planned to do this once in the tournament and she even perfected the build with Harstem. Its also one of the most difficult builds for zerg to hold especially without roaches.
Blergh It wasn't an accident. She practiced this specific build and planned it: www.aceresport.com/en/scarlett_interview_after_mlg_anaheim.htm
Kenneth Lu yes i see now, thank you for clearing it up :)
ShinDiggers camp Hinterlands, ShimDiggers camp, Dish Wiggers camp, hippogriff, hippocampus, hippo crit

つ ◕_◕༽つ THE POWER OF PROTOSS ༼ つ ◕_◕༽つ
OMG that was EPICCCCC!!! lol.
What the...? Watching this now, being so confused o.O'
I think Scarlett did that just to prove that Protoss is OP.
Scarlett picks protoss?! WATCH!
That was pretty sweet :)
she had 4 more workers, no surprise that she won
David,please.
Game of the year.
What Protoss build is that, 2 base 4gate?
1gas 7gate all in.
MY queen.. ♥
- scarlett play terran
-nha, i don't wanna lose
Guess we finally have proof, protoss is broken. I always figured, if scarlett was to play protoss, she'd be unstoppable ;) A fantastic game.
Damn, Scarlett is fucking adorable.
Scarlett is amazing. :)
Who still watches this game
Of course!!! SC2 is one of the best games of all time and I play/watch it daily
ya best game of SC2 ever
Thats how u win!
Uh... not sure that would fly in any other tournament. Still awesome to see though.

Harstem fist pump at 09:36 lol
