EPTI really wish we had some dominant female casters on the US side - I know we have some talented ladies, but if anyone remembers Trillian and Deeay from the FPS days, we have no one who even comes close to those two gals.

I am not saying that Asians exclude women 100%, but the society is really conservative about this issue. In a colder but easier way to understand this: Men hang out with men Girls hang out with other girls And if you are a man who have a close friend who is a girl, or viceversa, they may always suspect you of being a couple. And if you are homo you are doomed That's how far sexism is in South Korea I am not saying everybody in Korea is like this I am basing this from personal experience. Korean people are very intolerant because of their conservative nature. For example in Korea, people are so different to what you see in other people in US or any other country. We are in 2011 already, it's not weird to see a woman making a living by herself, but as you see in this interview is showing us what is actually happening in their lives. I actually didn't like this interview because they make themselves look bad. Not themselves but the whole society these women live in. I feel sorry for January who wants to keep a coach-trainee relationship but can't because of the awkward barrier between them. I feel sorry for those women casters who wants to stand out, and have normal interviews like any other male casters I feel sorry for TossGirl who wants to keep gaming, and stand out like any other male progamer but she can't because of her limits as a woman (Or maybe her own excuse for sucking so bad?) They all like their jobs, but feel excluded from the rest. And when asked why do they like about being a woman they don't even feel special about it. It's like they are not positive at all, they are ranting about society or whatever... but what else can they do if they don't change their attitudes at all. At least these women could feel a little more special like TossGirl does! It's like most of them feel sorry for being women | ||

Seo Ji-Soo: Being a progamer, it was disappointing for me to lack stamina and emotion control. Since I lack physical stamina, I can't practice for long hours. Then the skill gap becomes bigger, and I start to lose games. I have the desire to win and compete, but I can't control my emotions since I lose all the time. After losing so many games, I become depressed and wonder if this is really worth doing anymore. I have to deal with these emotions myself, so it becomes very difficult at times. Duno it's kinda weird of her to blame her gender for lacking in physical stamina and not being able to control her emotions. I mean I can see it in sports where men generally have better physical attributes to women but starcraft? That's like saying women can't compete with men in the business world because they lack the stamina to work as many hours. I know it's a BW article and this probably won't happen, but I'd like to see the SC2 female korean caster being thrown into the mix  | ||

It's horrible thinking about how much she practices and wants to get better and how long she's been trying to make the big leagues and yet she continuously fails to reach that level. I think we should send her a huge fan package soon! :D | ||

The caster's name changed from Jung So-Lim in the first part to Jung So-Rim in the second and third. Which one is it? | ||

It never really made sense to me why female e-sport gamers would tend to easily become popular. Maybe it's the 'rarity' that made it so. Nowadays it just seems like whenever there's a female player around, people would automatically think positively of her. I think this makes it advantageous for females if they want a career in esports - given that they have what it takes. So even though there could be gender barriers/differences and societal pressures that make it 'hard' for females, this may well be compensated by this gap in how positively they're portrayed in the e-sport community. | ||
