Quick update on Scarlett

She got out first in her group in the GSL Code S last night, making her the first non-Korean to make it to the round of 8 in that tournament in over five years, and I believe the first girl to do that ever. What’s more, she got there by beating INnoVation, possibly the most consistent player in the world, 2-0.

I’m just so proud of her I can’t even properly express it.

so the first non-korean player ever in years to make it into SC II GSL round of 8 happens to be a trans girl whose gamer tag is Scarlett and she just beat out all the players considered the best in the world. 

this hasn’t happened before in a long time and no girl has ever made it this far in the games.
