Honestly an amazing opportunity for Cadenzie, and cool to see she's pulling through with it. Most of us who love this game typically just can't invest the time and effort we'd like to invest in it, so it's great to see any foreigner being able to step into the scene like that.
Cadenzie is talented - I played against her many times. Regardless of sheer skill, if we really want to see this game grow as a whole, credit and support should be given to those who are willing to step out and put themselves out there. One of the issues the foreigner scene has is the lack of personality and content. I love watching great games and streamers of just pure Starcraft, but I'm part of a very, very small minority that appreciates that and only that on a daily basis (and not in a tournament setting). Most viewers on Twitch/Afreeca are not me, and are looking for the interaction, the ability to relate to the streamer, the insight on your thought processes, or.. just something different!
Anyways, really hoping her and her giraffe does well. Good luck.

Awesome to see a foreigner make it big in Korea! Our very own Cadenzie got famous! Congrats and gl!

Congrats and good luck to Cadenzie in Korea! Any chance that other teams are interested in foreigner, female BW players?
Munkie is also pretty good and above 2000 MMR.

i wonder how transgenders would be viewed in competition? Would former males be able to compete in the female leageue?

Awesome Cadenzie! Keep going strong!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is also big because to stream on Afreeca you need to use a Korean SSID? In other words, someone went out on a limb for Cadenzie in order to allow her to stream on Afreeca, no?
I don't mean to place the hopes of all foreigners onto Cadenzie's back, but it seems to me like it is a huge step forward for our two communities. We have had Shinee and others participate in foreign tournaments, and now we have a foreigner in their tournaments, with them showing willingness to make accommodations for foreigners that allow them to have a greater outreach to the Korean Afreeca audience. I think that's huge.
Apologies if I'm misinformed on some of the details.

no it's been open to non-koreans for at least a year. here's a guide to set it up. it's usually not worth it unless you're doing something that would appeal to a young korean male audience.
as for her skill, i don't think she's good enough yet to beat a non-korean like artosis in a best of 3 (or more). she averages around 2000 MMR, artosis is usually around 2050, and her ZvT seems to be her worst while artosis' TvZ is his best.

Artosis vs CadenJi spon match?

Thanks for the heads up on that! I'm glad to hear that they opened their doors to us, even if it doesn't amount to much outside of league+clan play like what Cadenzie is doing. I hope this opens the door for some top level foreigners. Would be amazing if we can do a Korea vs. World tour like how they have in SC2.

No, afreeca.tv global and afreecatv korean website merged so foreigners can stream on Afreeca as well.

she's by far the best female player on afreeca right now

Does anyone happen to know anything personally about her? As in, what was her job?
I ask because, while it's great that she can follow her passion and go to Korea, not everyone (or majority) can do this. So to be in a situation where she could get over to Korea, and I imagine, stay there for some indefinite time, leads me to believe she had a very flexible situation...

united kingdom has a statutory minimum of 25-days paid vacation. it is end of june right now. that should answer your korea travel question.

From what I've heard, Britney is supporting her stay in Korea.
