Scarlett - Legend in the Making - briefly
(hx) 08:58 PM CET - Dec,21 2013 - Post a comment / read (6)
Sasha 'Scarlett' Hostyn is one of the best players in the world! She's a 20-year-old Canadian transgendered female with injury-prone wrists and a penchant for beating Koreans at their own game. Known alternatively as "Korean Kryptonite" and "The Queen of Blades," she's built up an enormous fanbase that rivals any StarCraft player in the world.

Hostyn burst into the public eye in early 2012 when she pulled off a series of upset wins against a handful of big-time professionals at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. Fans wondered who the new kid was. The event changed her life.

The response ot her success from the gaming world was was mixed. Many people celebrated her wins. But a loud minority of fans attacked her gender identity at every opportunity. Hostyn herself rarely talks about this aspect of her life, even going so far as to say it's disrespectful to even acknowledge the fact in online encyclopedia entries about her.

This is truly a breathtaking game of Starcraft. It is quickly gaining the reputation as being the best Terran vs Zerg game ever played. If your passion for Starcraft has dulled at all, this will excite and ignite your Starcraft soul!

Starcraft is still HUGE in places like Asia. The players are hailed as heroes in huge events.

The winners win tens of thousands in the smaller tournaments and the world championship has a top prize of $100 000 with another $150 000 divvied among the runners up, and a total of $1 600 000 in prizes for the tournament season.

We're talking 30+ global events, many hundreds of players from 60 nations.

Yeah sure, it's "BS from 1998"...

Actually, Starcraft 2 was released in 2010 and Starcraft 2: HoTS was released this year, so it's not 1998 bullshit. Obviously is not as popular as League of Legends, but anyway there are dozens of tournaments with thousands of dollars in prizes, good players get a nice share of those and also get paid by their teams and sponsors.

Enjoyable match really nicely played, almost makes me want to play SC2, if my disgust for blizzard wasn't so high, never again blizzard. Still see no reason why anyone is impressed with the female aspect, its guy who is good at SC to me. Nothing new with that, now when there is a real female at SC finals that would be good different.
