(Witty tagline goes here)
"May I have a glass of water please?" - Beatrix
In the not-too-distant-past, in some day A.D., there was a girl named Nina, not too different from you or me. She worked on this little tournament, and worked with all time she spent, she did a really good job organizing the place, but her bosses didn't like her so they shot into spaaaace.
So, I came up with this neat little idea to have a BroodWar tournament for girls only! NO BOYS IN OUR TREEHOUSE! However, as these things sometimes do, shit got real. I contact literally every known/suspected girl in the StarCraft world that I thought even might be remotely interested. And yes, that includes Megumixbear. Also, Hot_Bid. As you may have suspected, most of the girls were azns, and azn girls can be very difficult to "manage". One does not simply tell an azn girl what to do. Especially if they are Vietnamese. But I digress. Although I can be confident sometimes, I'm actually pretty shy. So, writing a bunch of PMs to girls asking them to fight each other in a 90s video game was scary. I'm glad I did in the end though, because I think I made a friend :p.
My original idea what to have a "mini tour", with 4 competitors, and maybe one exhibition match (which was supposed to be lilsusie vs livinpink, that would've been cool), but suddenly, a bunch of girls came out of the woodwork saying they wanted to play. Some of them I had to zap with a cattle prod to get them to agree to play. Suddenly, there were like 12 girls ready to play and the mini tour wasn't so mini anymore. But then, a funny thing happened: nobody wanted to practice or play each other, except for the four who actually played. Hazely, Munkiee, Zombie, Click were all completely on-board, and put in time practicing to play their matches, and tried to make their dates. Some of the girls were practically impossible to contact, because they didn't check anything, ever. It was quite the opposite of the YSL, where everything worked smoothly.
Time passed, but I remained optimistic and patient. I'm still optimistic and patient, but I had to go through a bit of a learning experience. In the end, I just thought, "Hey, wait a minute, let's just do the mini tour as a.... mini tour." so I changed the line-up for the mini tour, and kindly kept in touch with the active peeps. Hazely, Munkiee, Zombie, Click are all really cool, and I hope they enjoyed playing. I hope the BroodWar fans enjoy watching the tournament, even if it is a novelty tour. Also, I hope more girls (and boys) will pick up BroodWar and fall in love with it, maybe even for a second time.
For everyone who did not play - I really you could have. I know Kade is really talented and motivated, Tesla was a really big name on iCCup in it's heyday, LivinPink is a SC2 celebrity, Siena is from Russia)))), and of course, there was lilsusie. Probably the most legendary female name in StarCraft after Tossgirl. Nymphaceae was really cool and was a fast learner, so I hope she's doing well. Sorry, Quails, I don't know anything about you, jajajajaja xd. I was frustrated with the turn-out for players, but I hope I didn't come off as a bitch at any point. I understand life is filled with sooooo much stuff that it's hard to make time for video games. I think you all are amazing, and I wish you the best!

Short Bio:
I am a twenty-one year old animation major living in the DC area. I started playing/watching BW with my brothers on the N64 a decade ago, and while I never got serious about it then, I had the amazing opportunity to hang out with the DC nerds starting just before this summer after attending my first SC2 LAN. We've had a few BW lans since then and it didn't take me long to see what I had been truly missing more than a decade ago!
