I'm a bit disappointed I missed the loosers bracked broadcasts. Apparently even the consolation matches were streamed. I don't know how I missed it. I really hope there will be vods and replay packs available.
When I saw HUK go no scout builds pvp, and even no scout builds like 1gate stargate into 4gate stargate all-in without an obs... not even scouting the perimeters of his base I was really hoping to see tubby proxy, cannon rush or even nexus first - I know he knows it's the way to beat HUK the way he's playing pvp lately. I'm happy to hear he did it when he faced him again. It looks bad, but it's the way to play against HUK's style. You can't just let him get ahead and then win with a stupid all-in that just gambled on the hopes of not getting cheesed earlier.
I'm just really impressed by the way Scarlett won over all. I'm getting pretty tired of watching the 'Korean' style of players cutting corners and taking insane risks to get any kind edge, a style which I think Huk embodies.
It's nice to see Scarlett get rewarded for technically solid play, and I'm really proud that she is going to represent Canada. The fact that she is a girl and transgender is just icing on the cake, god knows that this community could use more diversity.

^^ I agree absolutely. I don't follow Scarlett a lot, because she doesn't play protoss :D
but I can appreciate that even though my favorite players are capable of playing spectacularly well when they're on their A-game, Scarlett plays spectacularly all the time and she had a perfect series at WCS. |

New favourite Canadian player by far. Only dropping one game the entire run is astounding!!
Looking forward to her competing on some main stages in big international events!!

| Are there VODs of the WCS Canada finals? Those VODs should be free since they are for Blizzard's tournament right? Last edit: 2012-07-16 10:55:48 |

Unfortunately not.
The only vods you can get are from: http://de.twitch.tv/cstarleague
They casted the first round matches of TubbyTheFat vs HUK, but had sound trouble, then they went on casting CSL. I think they did catch one or two looser bracket games later on, but that's about it. Main stage and 2nd stage with Idra and Incontrol both have the vods blocked  |

I'm so proud of Scarlett. She played so well. I hate all the people giving her unneeded crap though, it's really immature and needs to stop.
Good job Scarlett. Scarlett fighting! |

Is Major even in the NA Champs? He's not listed in Liquipedia as being qualified.
If Major isn't there, Huk and Illusion are the only two players at NA Champs that might beat Scarlett. |

| i only watched the final games but scarlett control her units very well. when the opponent was trying to snipe her infestors she responded right on time and didnt lose anything. alot of other so called top zergs just macro macro and attack move. |

Her voice sounds very feminine actually. Infact, its actually very sexy.

The Mexico Nationals are still about three weeks away.

Her first interview, he voice was weird to me, but her Gamespot one from today, she has a very unique and almost sexy voice as you stated. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her, especially seeing her loosen up for interviews. |

According to this TL thread, Major was among the 8 who qualified to the Mexico finals in the last qualifier, but the results are not on Liquipedia for some reason and I can't find them anywhere else.
Thanks for the Gamespot link by the way, awesome to see an interview where she's a bit more relaxed. |

i only heard her say like one sentence at the NASL finals but i wouldnt call it sexy voice
it was after her win so probably wasnt her actual voice |

| Scarlett must be really confident in ZvZ and ZvP to have absolutely no fear of Idra/Vibe/Mystik from the American qualifier, all of them in my opinion had/have potential to take ZvZ games off of really good players, Suppy is good too but I can't recall him beating a top zerg in a lan before. Funny how seemingly the majority of Terrans are complaining about ZvT and the only 2 people who Scarlett fears in NA qualifier are Terrans. |

I've heard conflicting reports on this. Some say the VoDS are pay only, by which I guess they mean the live matches. But hopefully that doesn't include WCS? I was at the event, so I couldn't actually watch the WCS matches that weren't on display there. |

Honestly to me it makes sense. Even before her win and interviews I was saying to my buddies that Illusion and Major are the only two that could give her a real run for her money. I mean between her IPLTAC games and her games this WCS it seems like she's on that whole new level of zerg that DRG and Stephano are on, in terms of micro at all times while macroing (yes I'll go as far as to say that. Most of her mistakes are to dumb little timings and things which she'll figure out with more tournament experience. But look at her fucking creep spread for example and, especially in her series against Ddoro, notice how it keeps going WHILE she's fighting and microing zerglings...) Even her one loss was a result of a last ditch nydus. Which was a fantastic game btw, Scarlett went for a very unique build which I think actually works due to the 5 range queens. Anyway, Vibe is pretty inconsistent and Idra is... well Idra. I haven't seen much of Mystic tho so I can't comment there. |

What results, exactly? I feel like Illusion is one of the most hyped up players outside of Korea atm, with very little to show for it aside from lots of promise. |
