Is it harder for girls of the same skill level to get into the competitive scene as guys? Or is it that it's harder for them to get respect due to male dominated gaming communities making remarks about cooking and cleaning? no its actually the other way around, it is insanely easier for girls of the same level to get into the competitive scene. | ||

Also, I don't like this picture: http://myzinic.com/pic/zinicposter1.jpg. Anyway, good luck with the team Crow. eSports needs more positive news like this. | ||

Yes, the implication is that female only competition is watered down. | ||

Especially when you take into account that female team will be fully sponsored and promoted and have the same financial backing as a male team that has 10 times their skill. Or when you consider that there are hundreds if not thousands of male teams that are better then the female team but they will never be known and wont receive a penny of sponsorship. Is this the sexism you were referring to? | ||

Well daz, I don't agree that female teams have for example the same financial backing as male teams. In general the female scene is not really developed and established. I see the reason for that in the fact that they never were given a chance. The community didn't want to take them serious (is that a wonder when 95% of the eSports community are males?), the eSports press often ignored them, the same goes when it comes to tournament holders. For example there is the ESL Major Series for female Counter-Strike. 750 Euro in cash every season. Last season actually Zinic won, but you can find a news no where. I wonder why it is like that. That is for example one thing when I talk about fighting for more equal conditions. Another thing is that girls are often just not allowed to participate in male tournaments in CS. But why? Even if they drop out in the first round, shouldn't they given a try? Otherwise, where is the motivation for the girls to practice, where is the motivation for them to become better, where is the motivation for them to even play in the end? One thing that is behind that all is www.zinicauction.com (better design to come!), which can make it possible that eSports doesn't depend only on sponsors any longer in the future. | ||

In Swedish terms those aren't that hot and therefore they can be playing cs :p Anyway, we do not have the same stigma about sex difference either, and playing computer games is 100% socially accepted here. | ||

Tho the reason we don't talk about it is because you girls have your own leagues with like 2 teams nobody cares about that shit. You should just go to the managers of those teams and say ey FUCK YOU YO I'm participating in this tourny. What can they do too stop you? From what I know Professional Female World of Warcraft players (I know WoW sucks but w/e) just play against the boys why is this different for CS? | ||

Look at Queen and others who've competed on in regular tournaments before. Separate male/female teams is an artificial construction, there's no reason they shouldn't be playing on the same field. | ||

Girls don't have any disadvantage to us males why do they get treated differently with their own leagues makes no sense. From what I know Professional Female World of Warcraft players (I know WoW sucks but w/e) just play against the boys why is this different for CS? Because otherwise they wouldn't be able to show boobs in TV! Also wow is not competitive, anyone smart enough to post on TL could become a world class wow player after a weeks training. And of course in wow since it is an actual mmorpg, you know how girls always gets stuff for free and gets to join guilds even though they do not got the talent or gear just because the guild master gets excited by the possibility of this gamer some day spawning his offspring. Anyhow, men are better in almost every area compared to women so for women to get to compete they need their own league(With this I mean that the best men are better than the best women, for average persons I don't know since there isn't much stats for everything). Men got both more physical strength and geekiness, if we define a geek as someone who is more interested in a special subject rather than socializing the geekier you are the better you can get at what you are doing. | ||
