After  Acer lost  ParanOid at the end of last year, today the strongest female player in the Starcraft 2 scene, Acer player  Scarlett has announced she plans on taking a brake from the pro scene for the time being.

It seems that the player seeks to find a future for her when the time comes that she will retire.

The player stated:

"I plan to go to college next.

Maybe study Korean or computer science. I think e-sports players should think about higher education before they get too old. We don't know how popular this will be in the future. If you focus 100% on e-sports till you are 35 or so and it doesn't continue to become mainstream, I think it could be harder in life later on."

She hinted for a possible return at the end of February.

With this move,  Acer now has:

MMA

Scarlett (on brake)

Nerchio
