Proof that the game is unbalanced

If Scarlett can lose as zerg to a bunch of random terrans in
pubs, then zerg is conclusively too weak.

I got to watch a scarlett replay...
She's a good SC2 ladder player, but holy **** she's bad at zerg
(hex).
0 infestors made, 120/180 spire / spawner ratio, absolute trash
tier play. Don't base balance off of this.
(and it happens to be the replay that this score screen is from,
the player's names match).

I want to see the replay :D. Anyway, how do you know (or at
least have a strong suspicion) it was the actual Scarlett, since
there are technically a couple dozen players named Scarlett?
Right now we only see a decent management of resources and a
very high APM for a zerg, though I've also seen high APM zergs
from panic-tunnel-vision F2'ing a lot (one or two names come to
mind... :P). I think it would be kind of fun to try to build a
case and prove that the player is not an imposter.
I played with someone I suspect was Scarlett playing terran once
about a year ago, since they had GM border, high apm (> 300 or
400 if I recall), and they played like a GM or masters would
regarding macro, build order, and aggression (and they carried
the game, though that's not saying much b/c all the terrans were
healthy if I recall). They had a clan tag but I forget which one
it was. I should have saved the replay :'(.
On a more serious note for the less informed: being a great zerg
hex player does not entail victory because of how the lobby
balance has such a huge effect on the outcome (it's amazing how
much eco you don't have at the 14 min mark as zerg when your
zerg teammate ups capacity), so I don't consider this post an
example of imbalance. It would be like playing 2v2 ladder with
randoms when you're a GM and you get paired with a bronze
against 2 diamonds, and the bronze builds pylons in your mineral
line and blocks your ramp with four forges or something >:(.

Fun game - I checked the profile and Scarlett was GM in all
races including random on ladder, so I assume it's the real
Scarlett. :D
I can't post the replay here since there is a 512kb limit on
attachments and I guess replay file is larger than that. I
originally posted the replay in hexnab discord in replays
channel.

I guess ZergTriumph = Maltovinto since they have access to the
end game page + were also Zerg that game?

It's the real Scarlett. Her match history includes her games
with Winter that he streamed last year.
Maybe she is rusty or isn't up to speed on the latest patch, but
it still shows, as many have pointed out here, that zerg offers
little opportunity for high level players to win using skill.
