Scarlett joins Eclypsia
Female Starcraft 2 player and IPL4 relevation Scarlett has been recruited by Eclypsia.
Sasha 'Scarlett' Hostyn has been recruited by
Eclypsia. The 18 year old Female Canadian Zerg only started playing a year ago and made a name for herself in Autumn winning two Iron Lady Champion Cups in a row. In March she qualified for IPL4 by winning Playhem’s "Sponsor Me!" tournament, designed to give an opportunity to players without a team or financial backing. As a huge fan of the Korean scene it was a dream come true for Scarlett to travel to Las Vegas as part of the strongest line-up of the year so far, with the very best of the Korean scene in attendance at IPL4.
In the first round she was up against
Terious, a current Code A player from Prime, and shocked everyone by defeating him and causing the first big upset of IPL4 before continuing her winning streak by defeating fellow Canadian
Ddoro. In the next round she faced
Oz, one of the best Protoss in Code S and despite winning the first game she lost the series in close fashion. In the losers’ bracket Scarlett continued to defy expectations, defeating
EG.DeMusliM before finally being eliminated by former SlayerS Zerg
Golden.
Unique and gifted, Scarlett has attracted over 400000 views on her fan thread in just 10 days, a record, already nearing the level of her idol
MarineKing, and double that of
BoxeR in far less time.
Eclypsia's international lineup:
Sasha 'Scarlett' Hostyn
Andrew 'SLoG' An
Marc-Olivier 'desRow' Proulx
Min Ho 'Artist' Jo
Vesa 'Welmu' Hovinen

Kind of feels awkward when we refer to a transgender as a dominant "female" in Esports. Call me intolerant but I can't help but feel like inherently she is a male so pitting her against females here is a little ... unfair?
