i love what a good sport drg was. he thought she made a mistake and offered a re instead of just being like oh opponent chose the wrong race free win let's go. though of course it didn't work out for him. but still decent offer and good sportsmanship.
I agree I thought that seemed like a good sportsmanship moment. Picking off-race basically being unheard of normally, so totally fair to assume it was just an accident
@youknowimright-iu2ji just stop. Scarlett seems like a really nice person who isn't part of the problem so leave her alone. There are trans females in womens track and wrestling, for example, who are the problem. There are activists who are trying to force everyone to use pronouns with legal consequences who are the problem. There are "family friendly" drag events with male strippers gyrating over kids... There are plenty of actual problem people to go after, leave Scarlett alone.
The scarlett/drg story is especially funny for me. Literally minutes before this match, I hit her on ladder in a ZvP.... on Frost... lmao (10P/5Z instead of 7P/5Z though). I thought it was a fake despite having the [Acer] clan tag (there were a bunch back then). Was getting brutalized when she suddenly GG'd out. Was confused as hell but figured w.e, it's a fake and they probably botched the follow up or just didn't know they were ahead. When all of a sudden, my clan discord exploded with people spamming about scarlett and dropping the MLG stream link. Popped that open and practically lost my shit lool. Watching DRG get clapped right after I did, and in the exact same way was pretty hilarious lol
@@d4slaimless Spawn positions. So on a 4 player symmetrical map: it would be 10-2-5-7 for spawn locations which are Top-Left, Top-Right, Bottom-Right, Bottom-Left. Then we just donate by race. So 10P-> Protoss spawning Top-Left, 5Z-> Zerg spawning Bottom-Right (cross spawns) Old BroodWar habit. We used to go by clock positions since most maps were 4+ players instead of where in SC2 they're mostly 2 player maps now.
I remember seeing that SOS moment when it happened and it's still the craziest for me. The strategy is objectively terrible and it would absolutely NEVER work again, but in that moment it was what SOS needed to clench the series. I couldn't put it better myself than Artosis - "he's an alien".
@@luispavon1371 Its fairly straightforward starcraft strategy that if protoss has a hidden pylon in terrans base, there are lots of ways for protoss to use it to win. What was exceptional about this play is the way that the pylon got there. building a nexus inside bunny's base and then building a probe from that nexus and a pylon with that probe is basically just a ridiculously round about way to hide a pylon, which is exactly why bunny didn't expect it and didn't check that it was there.
I remember all of these games. But... in 30-40 years, long after I stopped watching E-sports... on my deathbed, I will still remember Scarlett picking Toss. "I Protoss" is burned into my mind. Lives rent free in my head. Thank you Sasha for my favorite E-sports and sports memory of all time.
sOs (not SoS) is not the best SC2 player in the history, but he just might be the brainiest one. NaNiWa is probably the craziest SC2 pro player (Life being the most talented & insane one at the same time). This Scarlett game is so much fun to watch, thank you!
tasteless still brings it up every once in a while during gsl casts and i laugh every time the other one I love every time is scarlett vs rogue when she just cheesed him in gsl and won
Дружище, спасибо тебе огромное за твой труд, за вклад в развитие (хотя, в 2023 это скорее поддержание на ИВЛ) сообщества старкрафт! Эта игра вдохновляет меня с детства, со времён Brood War,и сейчас я, взрослый дядька с работой, ребёнком и ворохом своих проблем всерьёз размышляю о возможности возрождения RTS как жанра. И это всё благодаря таким ребятам как ты, uThermal, Lowko, Lambo, Harstem, Artosis, Mana и многим-многим другим, кто в матчах, ВоДах, кастах и прочих активностях не даёт раскиснуть и развалиться на атомы нашему прекрасному сообществу. А по поводу возрождения RTS - я программист, разработчик, и где-то в душе гейм-дизайнер, и мне есть что сказать про возможное будущее жанра ;)
I was lucky enough to be in the crowd during MLG Anaheim and watched Scarlett do that live And I was able to get a picture with her, such an amazing weekend
Thank you for highlighting my personal favorite Scarlett moment. (Yes, I enjoy this more than any of the vs Bomber games, though those were OUTSTANDING of course).
Scarlett's drone drive into Rogue's base was also really good. She executed it perfectly against Rogue of all opponents. Next tournament, Rogue admitted he is scared of Scarlett now.
s0s is the real GOAT if you measure it differently, especially if you remember his giant very long macro games. For a long time he won so many tournaments with his crazy plays and fundamental skills.
Wonder if bunny could have tried killing the DTs shooting at his own units with his tanks thus hitting the DTs with splash damage. Especially when they attack a building that might work out. And using workers you can even "sort of" track a DT - even though you need to be quite quick to actually hit it that way. But well they have like 300apm so 5 klicks per second...
Queens so broken imo... I lost yesterday to a mass queen army, must have been about 30, and it was just too much tranfuse, impossible to break through man I swear.....Im still mad lol but that Scarlett play gave me hope
Game 2 just goes to show how bad Day9 was as a caster, while protoss has a higher army supply and worker supply he kept saying "DRG is about to overwhelm", what an awful casting performance.
If the map offers the possibility to play something like that, then you don't have to be surprised like a baboon gone wild, because that's unfortunately the case
im not even sorprise bruv, i know damn well protoss are OP. yall ever saw that big space ship with tons of killer bees? get 10 of those your enemy will be asking for directions back to house LMAO
@rattusgrenadus8291 To bad Scarlett can not master the hybrid strain by combining both Zerg and protoss, then Scarlett would really be happy when sending a Hybrid Dominator to the opponent's base.
I like how most of the cool games are before they made everyone start with 12 workers, effectively getting rid of like 70% of the strategy in the game.
Could a StarCraft player explain to me why that 3rd game was a gg due to those two invis units? Was the terran player not able to ever make anything that detected them?
Haven't played in about a decade but essentially yes, the dt's require either an orbital scan, a missile turret or a raven to allow the terran to detect them, not sure if any other units can detect it's been a while. Without detection it is literally impossible to stop them running around, if he tries to make a turret the dt's will destroy it before it is build, if the orbital lands to get a scan off they can run out of range and wait until the scan dissapears and just run right back in, so it's GG
I want to add that scan costs energy that slowly regenerates. Also you use the same energy to make mules to get more money. So its a decision/balance where does the energy goes, money or scans (scans is reavaling an small area of the map of your choosing and also seeing invisible units). He did save some for a scan and he did scan but the dt's ran away and he didn't catch them. You can make detecion buildings and units but it was far to late for that.

basset?
you mean his win. scarlett is a boy pretending to be a girl.
i dont think i understood how SoS got the win here. can someone explain?
young harstem absolutely losing it with joy the front row of the scarlett clip is so beautiful
@11.30
Yeah I also noticed that :)
i knew it. this was harstem
hahaha Nice!
He actually convinced Scarlett to play that build so he was incredibly happy to see it work😁
Scarlett's smile after her win with protoss is priceless, and the crowd cheering for her makes it such a beautiful moment. Ty for sharing
Yea that wasso awsome it made me feel really good 😅😂
Aye!!
Scarlet is a dude...
@@jaredkippers8690why do people refer to him as "her" then?
cause people are stupid. Hes a guy playing dress up, im not going along with his fantasy. @@Captain_Of_Charisma
i love what a good sport drg was. he thought she made a mistake and offered a re instead of just being like oh opponent chose the wrong race free win let's go. though of course it didn't work out for him. but still decent offer and good sportsmanship.
@youknowimright-iu2ji Scarlet (drg's opponent) is female.

@@matthewsaari6577 Scarlet (drg's opponent) is in fact a mentally ill man.
@@matthewsaari6577 Scarlet is a man though.
11:30 Harstem jumping out his chair cheering for Scarlett xD
I didnt even realize that was Harstem!
Yeah I just randomly went "is that a young Harstem?!?"
Is he for Scarlett, or is he cheering for Protoss? xD
Scarlett's victory brings tears, and so does harstem's jump. But Scarlett's micro was savage that round. Well done. DAMN
DAMN yeah
HyuN had gone for 3 hatch before pool all games because it was a counter to the way Naniwa usually opened. So his opening was calculated.
The scarlett/drg story is especially funny for me. Literally minutes before this match, I hit her on ladder in a ZvP.... on Frost... lmao (10P/5Z instead of 7P/5Z though). I thought it was a fake despite having the [Acer] clan tag (there were a bunch back then). Was getting brutalized when she suddenly GG'd out.

What is 10P/5Z ?

@@adreiiaii510 Got it, thx. First thought was "ok 7P might be 7 gate, but then what is 5Z?" :D
Another balls of steel moment for sure was the classic blink dt gamble vs rogue
Which was preceded by a cannon rush the map before it!
Lol the captain at 11:40 was so hyped
I just caught this frame))) Look at him! So young, bouncy and happy for Scarlett-toss xD
That Scarlet switch was legendary amazing XD
Because of this they banned swapping mid series all because of her.
Imagine finding Lizzo nude in your house spreading her creep everywhere?
@rattusgrenadus8291 Banning switching makes no sense. Instead, we should encourage it because it provides more variety.
@@JohnSmith-bs9ym It provides more variety but it diminishes the qualities of games.
Yeah, the best man won.
Scarlett: toss imba
*[plays off-race as toss and proves it]*
Crazy stuff back in the day.
I remember seeing that SOS moment when it happened and it's still the craziest for me. The strategy is objectively terrible and it would absolutely NEVER work again, but in that moment it was what SOS needed to clench the series. I couldn't put it better myself than Artosis - "he's an alien".
Could you explain please? I don't understand why he won. Is that a special pylon?
@@luispavon1371 Its fairly straightforward starcraft strategy that if protoss has a hidden pylon in terrans base, there are lots of ways for protoss to use it to win.

This was the glory days for Starcraft 2. Truely.

"I Protoss" is burned into my mind. Lives rent free in my head.
Thank you Sasha for my favorite E-sports and sports memory of all time.
Harstem happy reaction at 11:30
I never noticed him popping off like that, thanks for pointing that out!
sOs (not SoS) is not the best SC2 player in the history, but he just might be the brainiest one. NaNiWa is probably the craziest SC2 pro player (Life being the most talented & insane one at the same time). This Scarlett game is so much fun to watch, thank you!
is SoS a player? I think theres only sOs
SOS casually spending 450$ for a probe 😂 and it WINS😂😂😂😂😂
Hey, he also took out like 2 SCVs with the recalled Adepts....
I actually hadn't seen the SoS one! Phenomenal choice!
tasteless still brings it up every once in a while during gsl casts and i laugh every time
the other one I love every time is scarlett vs rogue when she just cheesed him in gsl and won
11:29 Harstem cheers. (very front 2nd guy from the right)
Love that Scarlett moment, and Tasteless + Artosis casts were everything!
Tastosis the casting archon. Good ol days.
Scarlett changing teams. How surprised are you really?

NaNiWa, Scarlett and SoS really have balls. Awesome plays.
Literally
Haha, love the "ok.. Ok... OK!" when sos puts the Nexus down, lol.
I was lucky enough to be in the crowd during MLG Anaheim and watched Scarlett do that live
And I was able to get a picture with her, such an amazing weekend
Great video. $O$ was the most feared player at one point, he can all-kill with Dark Templar strategies only.
Long live the probe rush.
That first guys' pupils were as wide as saucepans!!!!
Thank you for highlighting my personal favorite Scarlett moment. (Yes, I enjoy this more than any of the vs Bomber games, though those were OUTSTANDING of course).
I'm crying because I have seen all of this live. Thank you so much. I'm literally crying. ❤
What a great channel. Thank you for putting this together!
Scarlett playing like she's on an EVO main stage
what a trip down memory lane this was awesome
When you see Harstem jump up in the air in the crowd pumping his fist at 11:30
11:30 Yo is that Harstem jumping up in excitement?
Nexus Probe Pylon DT, the true meta strat lmao.
sOs was always my favourite to watch, always thinking outside the box. Bro has 200iq fr
Oh hey that voice talking about Naniwa's probe rush sounds famililar.
11:41 off race on elimination match?! crazy, lol!!
I can't remember who it was against, but Scarlett once played Protoss in a tournament and covered the map in Stasis Wards.
I need to see that game !
cant be, the wards do not last more than 20 seconds or something
@@calvinsFuntimeBounceHouse units caught in them are trapped for 21 seconds. But the trap themselves last indefinitely until set off or destroyed.
@@Kradukman I'll see if I can find the replay. It's really old, so not sure if it's still playable.
We Also need the Huk? vs IDRA match where he forfeited to illusion Void Rays and then became even saltier !!!
I wanna see the Classic vs Bunny Blink DT game now! :D
Scarlett's drone drive into Rogue's base was also really good. She executed it perfectly against Rogue of all opponents. Next tournament, Rogue admitted he is scared of Scarlett now.

Love the title of the video, its very accurate. Scarlett went crazy when he started believing he was a girl
I’ve rewatched the Scarlett clip so many times it’s just incredible haha!
sOs was so fun to watch. legend
Harstem so proud of his fellow protoss player known as Scarlett
It's interesting seeing these old maps given how different they are now. Also Scarlett is a motherF***king G!
oh man, thank you for making this video. brings back good memories.
Best esports game ever (besides SC:BW of course). Cool vid, brings back memories!
Naniwa is super chill I remember him coming and 1v1:ing a bunch of people in our amateur clan, I got to play against him! Ofc I got wrecked
- У Скарлетт шпиль!
- Где? Я не вижу на карте!
- Ты не понял. У Скарлетт... ШПИЛЬ!
"To confuse the enemy, you must confuse your allies first!"
How do the truly great and entertaining players make it look so easy? Great video. Cheers.
SoS was one of the few protoss that kept it entertaining in GSL.
Day9 its been some time since he did some SC2 content
Imagine losing a pro match to a 2 gate zealot rush.. wouldn't kill a diamond zerg these days
These days, you start with more workers than those days so it was harder to hold back then.
Diamond and masters still lose to a 3 gate zealot rush with cannons behind it lol 😂
He even mashed a wrong keyboard and he still won the fight.
Oh my goodness Starcraft 2 is such a fun game! These were great pulls!
Wonder if bunny could have tried killing the DTs shooting at his own units with his tanks thus hitting the DTs with splash damage. Especially when they attack a building that might work out. And using workers you can even "sort of" track a DT - even though you need to be quite quick to actually hit it that way. But well they have like 300apm so 5 klicks per second...
Scarlett’s build is a copy of Hitmans 8gate. Hitman who is the best wc3 player atm reigned terror on NA ladder with his hard hitting all in builds.
"Scarlett play Terran" that viewer cracked me up 😂
SOS what is going on in his head? The madness of such a strat. Unbelievable.
Naniwa legend 😂🎉
Sure, but its sad at the end.
scarlet playing toss. Imagine a zerg player micro on toss... thats just doubly op. Proves a point too, toss is simply too simple.
Yeah it used to be easier to execute such strategies in 2013, but she also played a lot on Protoss to be honest so... She was kinda prepared
Im amazed! Nani was balzy, bt Scarlet was just unbeleivable!!!
Queens so broken imo... I lost yesterday to a mass queen army, must have been about 30, and it was just too much tranfuse, impossible to break through man I swear.....Im still mad lol but that Scarlett play gave me hope
Great upload!
Very entertaining, thanks!
2014 Protoss imbalance killed the game. The 100.000$ PvP tournament was a shame for SC2. It never recovered from it.
Game 2 just goes to show how bad Day9 was as a caster, while protoss has a higher army supply and worker supply he kept saying "DRG is about to overwhelm", what an awful casting performance.
Next time do a top 10 :D
"the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
this sOs strat is so sick I've never seen it.
Harstem cameo at 11:30
If the map offers the possibility to play something like that, then you don't have to be surprised like a baboon gone wild, because that's unfortunately the case
These are great, thank you
Nothing would beat Idra rage quit leaving the game when he thought he saw an army that didn't exist
Just recently Reynor picked Protoss vs Serral and won... He didnt win the series tho. :D That Scarlett win reminded me of that.
Florencio invented the nexus into their base and then recall.
If Bunny hit his own units with the siege tanks he couldve killed the dark templar with splash dmaage
Scarlett really be the queen of SC2
@6:16, Is that Sean on the left?
14:07 it takes 3 shots to oneshot ?!

She has a lot of fans, watching her games is entertaining!
@@calvinsFuntimeBounceHouse Well Scarlett wants to be a she. Why does that bother you so much?

It's still weird to see Scarlett in bright lighting.
Life proxxy hatching Taeja. But we can't talk about that anymore I guess.

What a great way to prove the imbalance by Scarlett :)
I miss those times tbh.
