Hoi gois! I'm Japanese American and have been playing Starcraft/SC2 for over 10 years! I'm Master League on NA & EU. I stream regularly and host/cast/sponsor Bear Cups (tournaments) every month on NA & EU for players of all levels!
Aside from Starcraft, I work in traffic-filled LA as a Business Software Consultant and I'm also an Ikebana Sangetsu Sensei on weekends! I have wicked moves on the dance floor (dancing queen) and make a mean green tea! My chopsticks micro is the BEST ever (GM rank 1) and I'm known for always eating on stream! I may be the tiniest competitor ever (fun sized), but I'll try to own you regardless!
Bearcubs ♥ Bearmuffs!!
STREAM TIME: Bearday Monday - Friday starts at 21:00 PST(6:00 CEST) Bearday Sunday starts at 14:00 PST(23:00 CEST)

She is going to MLG Anaheim!
Didn't know who this was till a few weeks ago when I saw her in an obs game with my teammate NrGSteve, she ran a tournament too a little while ago that was very dramatic. very well mannered and not that bad of a player (pretty cheesy blueflame user in TvT though sheesh) thx for all the streaming on TL. more of the community should learn from her manners that's for sure. ^_^
Megume's does not like to cuddle but likes to be cuddled.. Her interaction with her stream viewers is 2nd to none. Easy to fall in love with this bear be careful..
I kind of feel there is an inflation of fan clubs around. This isn't even a progamer or community person, but has a fanclub on TL.. because she's a girl.. Ah well.. Bear fighting!
@Euronyme :: fan clubs are not just for pro's but for people who are loveable, appreciated and make others feel good or people who just enjoy wind. Megu is obviously not an elite pro gamer who is going to korea and will crush stomp through GSL, or any "Pro" tourney for that matter. She does however, allow mass amounts of random people into part of her life and shares it with each individual person as best she can. She's competent at the game and provides a quality stream for entertainment, meeting fellow sc2 players, learning a thing or two or just laughing at her goofball faces while she's playing. Plus she has story time.

well said! and also directed at someones previous comment, professionals are people who make money with what they do, you can be considered a pro gamer if you stream even if you aren't making as much money from tournies. love to see people pursuing starcraft!!
So you tell me that not many people post on here so I am posting to make you happy You are one of the best late night streamers and streamer overall because you pla ywith your viewers and always talk to them. Sometimes streamers don't do that You make everything look really fun even when you get frustrated lol!
Great stream! Most streams are pretty boring cause people just play like a robot without any interaction with viewers. She's always talking and plays customs with viewers and is a super manner bear. Her's and Huk's are the only 2 streams I watch, even though Huk doesn't really talk, but huk is boss.

She was pretty active in the BGH community on East. One of the top players there. Ive seen people call her Trish, so her name must be Trisha or something. Also she was in clan mG on Iccup and achieved a high rank of B-

With respect, having a license or not having a license is entirely irrelevant.
An amateur does something for recreation. A semi-professional does something for money, but does not make a living of it. A professional is paid to do something, and makes a living doing it.
For example, if I play guitar for fun, I'm an amateur. If I'm paid to play guitar on the weekends and make some extra money, I'm a semi-professional. If I'm paid to play guitar and it is how I make a living, then I am a professional.
Megumi fighting at MLG Anaheim! Anyone who watches her stream knows it's nerd crushing time when she has her serious bear face on. Pics taken by the great zemotion (Jingna).

Not even a warning? -_-
Megumi is good to her viewers. She has tournaments and draws pictures for them and plays games with them. Most other popular streamers rarely even read their chat. Even the ones who make decent money off their viewers.
Of course she plays with known players. Who wouldnt if given the opportunity? Youre just jealous that they dont wanna play with you. Or jealous that they get her attention and you dont. Its quite obvious that you are a frequent viewer.

Yeah dude got banned cause he spammed that in her bear cup threads too and was a previously banned user. Plus I agree with you. It's quite obvious he watches her stream a ton and now went troll mode probably cause she didn't give him the personal attention he wanted.
so I don't sleep till like 5am last night and megumi is streaming. I sleep for only 4 or 5 hours wake up and shes STILL streaming. I go into chat and I'm like,

Not agreeing with this or anything.. I just wish someone made a drinking game about my stream.
Megumixbear's stream has been unfeatured due to a lack of accomplishments in SC2.
Personally I think this is a hit to the community, since she's very fun to watch, interacts with her viewers constantly, and is one of the nicest people you'll meet. She also organizes and runs regular tournaments. I ask the people of this forum to petition against this decison.

Wait a moment, really? When was it unfeatured? And whats up with that reason?
Why. She has a great stream, she is fun to watch and good to her viewers, hosts tournaments. What do people like protech do? He was attacking his teamates I think in team games a couple days ago. Put megumixbear back up plz

sounds like a load of crap to me. she never had any accomplishments in the first place, so why would they feature her (without any accomplishments) and then allegedly un-feature her because she has a lack of accomplishments. makes no sense dude.
edit: you guys are going to look like a bunch of fools when it turns out this guy is full of shit.
A streamer like Megumi who obviously has a full time job yet still finds time to play at a masters level, interact with her viewers, and host her own tourneys is making an excellent impact on the community IMO. Not everyone is a super high level player or capable of going to tourneys, but by playing customs with everyone and holding tourneys for all different leagues, all levels of players are being accomodated to. Removing her featured stream adds nothing to this community, and only takes a fun and talented player who makes everyone enjoy starcraft that much more away from them. Bring it back! Even the lakers love her!
Damn, that sucks. I love her and her stream, she's pretty funny, good player, she goes through the analysis of any game she plays or casts, interacts alot with her viewers, organizes tourneys and is cute to booth! Sign me up, and hope they feature her back.
This raises a serious question about how TL handles featured streamers in general. What TL staff members have said and from what I have understood over the past few months is the following:
there are no fixed criteria to becoming a featured streamer on TL. The process is arbitrarily decided upon by a few select staffers without having any true fixed criteria but they weigh following things such as accomplishments in sc2, name recognition, relative skill level, stream popularity, stream quality, viewer feedback, community feedback, stream content and more. (someone correct me if I'm wrong on this)
Every featured stream will or should be meeting at least 80-90% of those criteria.
Because of this you see plenty of grandmaster players nowhere near being featured and other players possibly lesser skilled but doing quite entertaining things or meeting many other requirements. One example I could use would be MrBitter and his hosting of the 12 weeks with the pros. His stream was featured shortly after this began because it was freaking amazing. He was a midmasters player at the time with 0 accomplishments in sc2.
Seeing a reason like this given as to why a stream is being unfeatured implies you need a number of "accomplishments" in SC2 to be a featured streamer period.
If that is the case what on earth are streamers like all the broodwar streams being featured? GordonHayward? Protech- (doesn't even really play 1v1, plays top level 2v2 and team stuff, very entertaining stream though and epic music) these are just a few featured streams that come to mind there are plenty more that could be made a case they have little to no actual accomplishments in sc2.
the lack of consistency here is astounding. Either have criteria for featured streams or don't, screwing over people like megumi who do quite a bit for the community and have seemingly earned a spot on featured stream only to get shafted by "Lack of accomplishments in sc2" is wrong.
Sure maybe it was a mistake featuring her in the first place...but I think the reason as to why this stream was unfeatured is more of an issue than the actual unfeaturing.

I don't see your point. CombatEX is banned from TL and still gets almost 3k viewers every time he streams. Why? Because it's hilarious and entertaining as fuck.
If her stream was really THAT good then she should be able to get viewers in spite of not being featured.

My point isn't about losing viewer numbers. It's about featured stream polices in general.
megumi will probably continue to stream and continue to have plenty of viewers. Good streams will and should naturally get viewers. Her stream got quite popular over a pretty short period of time. Sure she was probably aided by being featured rather questionably early on, but for the past few months I think numbers and content wise the stream was pretty well solidified in its place.
There are plenty of popular streamers like combatex who are banned from TL or not featured. My focus with that post was not so much on needing to be featured for success, it was more focused on what constitutes a featured streamer period.
Megumixbear is nothing but a great addition to the community of SC2 and e-sports. Even if she were unfeatured, i'm sure many of us appreciate what she does. Still, it would be nice to have her featured again. Sides, who gets a tweet from the official Lakers twitter account?
better than most players and works mon-fri, interacts and is friendly with stream, hosts tournaments. seriously deserves to be featured. I love watching korean progamers stream but megumix contributes more to the community than them. I guess run should be removed because he has no achievements (nothing against him I like him) just saying that removing her because of lack of achievements is really stupid.
Completely random.... Megumi is one of the best female sc2 players in the world and a great personality. I would like to see these required "achievements" to be featured. Its not possible that she just all of a sudden doesnt qualify anymore.

ladder rating aside protech played in ptsl with power (4th and easily could have been higher, very respectable showing considering everyone else were pro level 1v1'rs). He'll be playing in the second season of PTSL, but if any more team tournaments pop up he'll obviously get into those as well
Sign me up....also her being unfeatured is dumb..she does soo much for the community.. she interacts with her viewers and holds tournaments frequently...im sad to see this....
I don't really get why she was unfeatured, considering she gets more views than a lot of featured streamers and some of the featured players don't really play the game (2v2 only, or LoL). Hopefully she gets put back, but for now just check facebook/twitter to see if she's streaming.
Sign me to the petition to get Megumixbear back as a featured streamer. She hosts several tournaments (bear cups) and always does the casting and hosting of the tournament in a very professional manner. She also plays a master level terran while helping people get a better understanding of the game. I really hope this gets over turned because she is a great member of TL, and the sc2 community and that should be enough merit to keep her around.
What this makes no sense! Seems pretty arbitrary to unfeature her now. Half the featured streamers are people no one cares about anyways. Not cool TL! Not cool!!
There are plenty of streamers that are featured without notable accomplishments in Starcraft 2, so this is no reason for unfeaturing her. I feel like they take other factors into account with other streamers that they are neglecting with her?!
Megumi has constantly high viewer counts, sometimes even higher than some pro players. So obviously people want to watch her. People in high demand like her definitely should be featured for obvious reasons. Moreover she contributed a great deal to the community by hosting her bearcups, giving out prize money/lessons, and this is how she gets paid back?!
I do not agree with TLs decision and ask them to reconsider.
I tend to agree with a lot of what's been said. I can't comment too much on the quality of the stream as I'm not a frequent viewer. However, there seems to be some inconsistency if her stream was featured in spite of having no accomplishments and relatively low skill compared to most featured streamers, and then removed for those same reasons which were overlooked when the featuring took place. I'm pretty sure she has never claimed herself to be one of the best in the world, so if she was featured for her viewer count and contributions to the community, why not keep her featured?
Posting to show my support to Megumi! Probably the nicest streamer on TL and by no means a bad player. I wonder what suddenly caused the change to take the decision to unfeature her now. I will keep watching, Tricia fighting!!

Destiny, drewbie, and all the other SC streams have all good achievements and are much better than megumixbear.
Megumixbear is a caring, honest, and skilled gamer that cares and interacts with her viewers in a way that very few others do. I don't really understand why this stream was unfeatured so abruptly and I hope TL repeals their decision and apologies for their extremely vague and impolite message toward megumi. No "thanks" or "sorry" whatsoever. I don't usually post at all but this is something that I felt I needed to say.

Nothing, but at least she runs tournaments and obviously cares about the community very much.
So I'm saying that if she is un-featured, all those other clowns like drewbie/destiny/kawaiiirice/protech etc etc should also be removed. They've accomplished nothing.

grandmasters is an accomplishment...
No it's not. Playing ladder means nothing.
So being top 200 in a region is easy? Why isnt the mighty carwash streaming all day, showing the pros who is boss etc?

Sorry man, you're deluding yourself if you think people like destiny and protech are featured because of their accomplishments or skill. Destiny is funny and protech does stupid 2v2 shit. I mean ffs destiny does the same shit every single game, you can't even say he's helping the community learn. And people like drewbie are remnants from last year when they were "good".

Destiny, drewbie, and all the other SC streams have all good achievements and are much better than megumixbear.
Lol, they're much better, but they haven't won anything at all. They've literally accomplished nothing.
And what has megumixbear accomplished that they havent?

TotalBiscuit is helping the community ALOT and brings new players to the community using his World of Warcraft fanbase - Megumixbear doesn't do that Trump used to / is doing free coaching and is better than megumixbear.
There, I answered your horribly irrelevant questions.

How is trump doing free coaching considered an achievement? Megumi isn't a pro gamer and doesn't want to be compared to pros, so I won't make that argument. However, she falls into the same category as trump.
I think featured should be used to include popular and entertaining streamers as well and she falls into that category. The majority of featured streamers are low level pros anyways who get 100 viewers.

Lol, are you kidding me? Destiny has accomplished nothing except beating some people on ladder. He's so great he owns korean pros, but has (and never will) win an mlg/gsl/any tournament that matters. It's almost as if winning a random game on ladder here and there means nothing at all. Get the fuck out unless you can think of something destiny/protech/drewbie etc etc have actually accomplished.
Edit-And the point is, if megumi isn't featured, I don't see why these other useless players are streamed. Protech? Trump? What? No one gives a shit about them. (less so than megumi if you're going by amount of viewers)

Lol, are you kidding me? Being better than someone else is not an achievement in any sense of the word. If that's the case megumi has quite a large achievement, considering she's better than 98%+ of all the people that play this game.
Not that it should even matter, considering the past few days Unstable was featured while playing League of Legends.

bro, I can assure you that there are players a lot better than megumi (no offense to her or anything) that will never have a chance of getting featured on TL. Right now, I think she was even lucky to get featured in the first place, otherwise I would have absolutely no idea who she is (lol)
So I guess being female is an accomplishment in itself in the SC community, right? Otherwise there are many other (better) players that I would rather spend my time watching. Peace

Likely because if you create an anti-something thread, you get shit on.
EDIT: Polyphony speakin the truth. People like FourKWarden are GM level, and will never get a lot of viewers because of the feast or famine system, while megumixbear feasts on her featured stream, with lackluster gameplay, and little to no casting to speak of.
I think its ridiculous that they had megumixbear featured for so long and just now decided that she was not worthy enough to be featured. I am going to list a number of accomplishments that will hopefully help bring her stream back to being featured.
1: She played BW in the past and pretty big in the BGH scene 2: She has acquired a fanbase much larger then a lot of the featured streamers at the moment not because she is one of the biggest female gamers in NA but also because of her tournaments and constant interaction with the Starcraft scene. 3: She hosts tournaments monthly for both lower league and high league players. 4: She has been a top masters player for a very long time. 5: Every time a new league has come out she has been promoted to that league, besides Grandmasters which is quite difficult to get into especially someone who juggles real life work aswell as starcraft. 6: She finds so much time for her viewers. Most nights she incorporates them in custom games with many pro players. 7: She gives great commentary and tips that she has learned through experience with other gamers(pro gamers aswell). She is always offering her assistance to her viewers.
So honestly, there should be no reason that Megumi should be unfeatured since she has given so much to the Starcraft Community as I have listed above.
1. A lot of people played BW and were big in more competitive scenes who stream now. 2. She acquired a lot of her fanbase because A) She's female and B) she was featured on TeamLiquid, etc. Still, this is not a reason to be featured. 3. I host tournaments every single week for Platinum-Diamond level players, should I be featured now? 4. Again, people like FourKWarden are Grandmaster level players, and aren't featured. 5. There are grandmasters who have less time to improve, and there are grandmasters that do have the time, but aren't featured. 6. You just said she had no time to become Grandmaster, guess that excuse fell apart... Viewer interaction is cool, but a lot of streamers do that, they just aren't always featured. 7. Pretty much any streamer with a mic does this, this is not featured material.
So honestly, there should be no reason that Megumi should be featured since she is a lackluster player and streamer, who only gets viewers because she's a woman.
As far as I know streams are featured based on the amount of educational value one can receive from it. I might not be a great 1v1 player but im ranked 1 for 2v2s, i know how to play them and you can learn how to paly them on my stream.
EDIT: and it would be great not to destory my stream just beacuse someone else gets un-featured.

I'm going to have to disagree on that one. Streams are usually featured based on entertainment value, there are a lot of streams that offer little to no education value that are featured.
EDIT: and I wouldn't mess with your stream, you're someone who streams very high level 2v2, something quite rare among streamers.

No one's saying you should be unfeatured, we're just saying it makes no sense to have things like 2v2 (lets face it, it's not even the same game) and League of Legends on featured streams while she gets unfeatured even though she's good for the community and pulls in at least 500 viewers a night.
I think you guys are missing the part where she was playing with Sorcery ( someone who admitted to cheating/hacking ) that might have something to do with their decision as well.
Unlike most of the other featured streamers, she analyzes her own games while she plays, interacts with viewers, hosts tournaments (and supplies the prizes), gives free lessons on stream, and gives tips from an assortment of gms she plays with who otherwise would likely not offer such insights for free. She also has consistently more viewers than many of the other featured streams. And... she's entertaining. Loyal fans of Destiny or CatZ know what I mean; not everyone is so fun on stream. I disagree with the decision to unfeature her stream.
LojiQaen, it makes no sense to argue that individually the things that make her a good streamer aren't enough to make her a good streamer. And you are flat out lying to say other things like most other streamers interact with their viewers and offer high level commentary because it is uncommon, and even more rare to be done to such a degree.
I think you guys are missing the part where she was playing with Sorcery ( someone who admitted to cheating/hacking ) that might have something to do with their decision as well.
Is that true? I would be annoyed to learn that she played with a known cheater/hacker, and still had the nerve to accuse me of stream cheating (I don't).
Megumixbear's stream has been unfeatured due to a lack of accomplishments in SC2.
This isn't seriously a TL statement is it? Why was she made featured streamer in the first place, and kept as one for so long? This reason to unfeature her stream makes no sense unless TL is admitting to being completely incompetent at assessing players' skill level. Did she turn down someone at TL?

Yep it's true. The iGware account that maphacked his way to GM#1 was played by Sorcery. Funnily enough, i'm pretty sure Protech was the one that brought the issue to light.
As for the Trump thing, i just checked his stats and he is currently #6 master's level player on NA, so he's/was pretty damn close to GM, which is a lot better than megumi, who's just a mid-level master's player.They both talk a lot and interact with the chat, so really, the only thing megumi has going for her is that she hosts tournaments, but that's about it.
Well, one criteria that she certainly does meet is that she is unique. There are no female gamers who stream that frequently at master level or any level at all. There are no females hosting cups. There are no players who host their own cups, period.
There are a gazillion people who just stream. Right now i see a bunch of streams featured that are completely random and could be exchanged for whatever 200 other streams are online. (Fuzer, Naamis, Slayers_Dragon...) Not to hate on anybody, but they are not unique. They don't bring anything new. They don't have huge "accomplishments". They don't give anything to the community and still they are featured.
She should be featured because she gives something that nobody else does and there are enough people who want to see it. That should be enough by itself.

So you suggest we feature every mediocre GM player? You need to learn some economics bro. Its pretty worthless to feature people only based on skill, since the average GM is worse than the more than enough pros that are being featured anyways.
Megumi on the other hand, differentiates herself from people who only have "skill" to offer. For one, she provides a lot of commentary and insight into the game. Whenever she has the opportunity to join games with aspiring pros/pros, she again observes and commentates the games. She's basically sharing with us valuable stuff because she feels nice enough to.
Secondly, being a female gamer of decent skill level isn't something you should look down upon. It provides a lot more insight into how females feel about the gaming scene, and gets out awareness that females enjoy games as well. Furthermore it can encourage other females to play games and be focused enough to get decently good at it, which would be beneficial for creating a larger player base and further competition in e-sports.
In conclusion, I don't understand why you are being so close minded and biased against the fact that she's female. By your logic, we should just not provide any representation for female gamers and turn them all away from the game. Do you really think that's helpful for the gaming scene in general?
Yes it does seem unfair for people to give more attention to females, but what can you do when people are genuinely interested in them? You can discuss skill level and what not once games reach out to enough females, at which point people will start judging them mostly on skills due to their ubiquity.
tl;dr Shut the fuck up and stop bitching, there's a reason people like her... whether or not you agree with their reasoning is just a matter of your god damn opinion, so stop being a close minded idiot and get the fuck out.
Ya, the only reason I watch Megumixbear is because she commentates on her stream, and analyzes her game-play. As well as getting other pro players to talk and explain things on her stream. She had Strifecro on the other night, and although hes not very good in relation to the likes of like Nestea, he was teaching her zerg strats and giving tips that helped me, a plat player as well.
Sure, I checked out her stream at first because a girl streaming sc2 and being very good at it is kind of rare... not trying to be mean, that's just kind of how it is. However, I kept going back to her stream when I was learning how to play terran, because she offered good insight, and feedback. If her stream really is un-featured, that would be a shame.
I see it kind of like Mr.Bitter before he got famous. He was just some random zerg player, who got about 500 people per streaming session. But the thing is, he did something unique - 12 weeks with the pros, that helped me out tremendously - same as Megumi's stream. Anyway, keep up the great work Megumi- 화이팅!
Slagging on other featured streamers isn't going to help Megumi's cause. I don't know her at all, but from what I've seen I doubt she appreciates you turning this thread into an opportunity to shit on other people. If you want to highlight her achievements that is one thing, but don't belittle others in the process.
I don't think that a player should win HUGE competitions to be able to be featured and you guys might say differently but she is one of the most polite and interactive streamers out there.
You guys can argue all you want about how there are other people who also deserve to be featured but Megumi has given more then them to the Starcraft Community.
Even tho Megumi may not be Grandmasters, she has shown that females can excel just as much as men can. Go ahead and bash me for bringing out the fact that she is a female but it doesn't matter to me. Sure, first time viewers go and say "HEY A GIRL! OMFG!" but the more you watch her and the more you follow her you lose that reaction and begin to understand her and what other female gamers go through and how they have just as much potential to power into the high leagues like any other person.
Now I will await the posts about how people only watch her because she is a girl. But keep in mind she is one of the best female players in the world even though she is too modest to admit it she is and I have a feeling she knows it to.
Now everyone please stop bashing other players and please stop posting about why Megumi should be unfeatured, this is a fan page for a reason and not a page to be bashing her or bashing anyone else.
Thank you and next time you post think about how Megumi would feel when she is reading your post, ok? This is her fanclub thread, not the stocks.
I usually don't make serious posts but when i do they sound something like this....
For me Megumes provides more than any featured or other "community member". She provides me a place to hang out and be welcomed. To meet others with a love for sc2 and most importantly have fun and play games. HAVE FUN and PLAY GAMES.. Let me say that again in case you missed it. HAVE FUN AND PLAY GAMES. If you're not having fun then go find somewhere you are having fun.

You are just ridiculous, megumi is not "every" master player. Do you see a fan club as big as hers for every master player? Do you see other master players being defended like this for not being featured? I don't think so.
I feel like TL, as the go to site for starcarft 2, has a responsibility to support streams like hers, as they help to grow the community significantly, even though that is hard to prove. As for the whole Sorcery debate, I am convinced that this played absolutely no part in this and ProTech is just a douche who can't get over himself. He even went so far as to encourage others to spam her stream just because he didn't like her choice of friends, I think that says enough about his personality.
I would like to hear an official TL response to all this, giving their reasons besides an empty "lack of accomplishments", as this is clearly not the only reason looking at other streamers, and if they are going to reconsider.
Megumi is not just every masters player. She is a very skilled and entertaining Host to the stream and IMHO she IS one of the best female sc 2 gamers out there. There are alot of other wonderful qualities about her and her stream but those things and those things alone should be enough to keep her featured. She has plenty of fans and for a good reason to. Entertainment + skill = megumi's stream all the way. MEGS FIGHTING!!!!

Anyone who has anything to do with sorcery / friends doesn't deserve to be streaming in my opinion. If you stream playing with a person who admitted to cheating why does that deserve to be featured, much less streamed and why would TL.net want a stream like that being promoted? The viewers don't need to be watching games where she plays with someone who cheats, it's bad for the sc2 community.

First of all, megumi never engaged in cheating and sorcery certainly was not cheating the very few times he played with her. There is no evidence in her VoDs at all to support such a claim. I know that he terribly hurt your feelings by cheating on you in 2v2, based on you behaving like a person that just got dumped, maybe you should take that up with a therapist. The first lessons you will learn there that you don't have to take it out on people that weren't at all involved.

as you are supposedly an avid fan of megumixbear (a female sc2 player), it surprises me that you would support your arguments with sexist comments in her fan club. shameful.

I don't think that a player should win HUGE competitions to be able to be featured and you guys might say differently but she is one of the most polite and interactive streamers out there.
You guys can argue all you want about how there are other people who also deserve to be featured but Megumi has given more then them to the Starcraft Community.
Even tho Megumi may not be Grandmasters, she has shown that females can excel just as much as men can. Go ahead and bash me for bringing out the fact that she is a female but it doesn't matter to me. Sure, first time viewers go and say "HEY A GIRL! OMFG!" but the more you watch her and the more you follow her you lose that reaction and begin to understand her and what other female gamers go through and how they have just as much potential to power into the high leagues like any other person.
Now I will await the posts about how people only watch her because she is a girl. But keep in mind she is one of the best female players in the world even though she is too modest to admit it she is and I have a feeling she knows it to.
Now everyone please stop bashing other players and please stop posting about why Megumi should be unfeatured, this is a fan page for a reason and not a page to be bashing her or bashing anyone else.
Thank you and next time you post think about how Megumi would feel when she is reading your post, ok? This is her fanclub thread, not the stocks.
How has she shown female gamers can compete with the best of male gamers? She's only masters in na
Soulish you are putting words into my mouth and twisting what I said. I suggest you read over my message again and find exactly where I say that.
Masters is quite an achievement in my eyes. Sure Grandmaster is a lot more grand but Masters is still a great achievement. Her being in Masters shows that women can achieve just as much, thats what I said. Stop putting words in my mouth.
Masters in NA should not be bad in anyone's book... I don't see how you are using that as an insult towards her.
Guys, I hate to say something like this on someone's fanclub - but you realize you can still watch her stream? Destiny got a large viewership before he was featured.
Vut da hale! All the haters coming out of the woodworks now since they think cause tl unfeatured her they have free reign to invade the fanclub page now!
There were a lot of jealous streamers out there always complaining about her being featured and not theirs, so I have no doubt enough of them complained to tl admins to get her unfeatured. However, posting your grievances and hate in her fanclub page is not the place to do it.
I’m very grateful & appreciate all of your support! Be assured that this won't change anything. My relationship w/ all of you is precious. ♥ In the meantime, plz keep comments pleasant & be courteous. We're all much appreciated, let’s respect each other. Stream will continue, dw.♥

She acquired a lot of her fanbase because A) She's female and B) she was featured on TeamLiquid, etc. Still, this is not a reason to be featured. 3. I host tournaments every single week for Platinum-Diamond level players, should I be featured now? 4. Again, people like FourKWarden are Grandmaster level players, and aren't featured. 5. There are grandmasters who have less time to improve, and there are grandmasters that do have the time, but aren't featured. 6. You just said she had no time to become Grandmaster, guess that excuse fell apart... Viewer interaction is cool, but a lot of streamers do that, they just aren't always featured. 7. Pretty much any streamer with a mic does this, this is not featured material.
So honestly, there should be no reason that Megumi should be featured since she is a lackluster player and streamer, who only gets viewers because she's a woman.
So you suggest we feature every mediocre GM player? You need to learn some economics bro. Its pretty worthless to feature people only based on skill, since the average GM is worse than the more than enough pros that are being featured anyways.
Megumi on the other hand, differentiates herself from people who only have "skill" to offer. For one, she provides a lot of commentary and insight into the game. Whenever she has the opportunity to join games with aspiring pros/pros, she again observes and commentates the games. She's basically sharing with us valuable stuff because she feels nice enough to.
Secondly, being a female gamer of decent skill level isn't something you should look down upon. It provides a lot more insight into how females feel about the gaming scene, and gets out awareness that females enjoy games as well. Furthermore it can encourage other females to play games and be focused enough to get decently good at it, which would be beneficial for creating a larger player base and further competition in e-sports.
In conclusion, I don't understand why you are being so close minded and biased against the fact that she's female. By your logic, we should just not provide any representation for female gamers and turn them all away from the game. Do you really think that's helpful for the gaming scene in general?
Yes it does seem unfair for people to give more attention to females, but what can you do when people are genuinely interested in them? You can discuss skill level and what not once games reach out to enough females, at which point people will start judging them mostly on skills due to their ubiquity.
tl;dr Shut the fuck up and stop bitching, there's a reason people like her... whether or not you agree with their reasoning is just a matter of your god damn opinion, so stop being a close minded idiot and get the fuck out.
The TLDR is not necessary and I think you should calm down a little bro. The points that LojiQaen quoted were totally ineffective arguments and he called him out for it. Seriously? The BGH scene? The shit?! I was a big part of Sunken Defence and Evolve scene, does that count?
Aw, I cannot think of many that deserve more to be featured than Megumi. I enjoy her stream immensely, and learn more from it than 95% of the other streams I also enjoy. Plus she is extremely interactive with her viewers, which is more rare than it should be.
Ah well, sign me up as a fan, and I will continue to watch
Just a PS: Those of you who complain about a lack of viewer interaction and commentary and that sort of stuff, I can pretty much guarantee you haven't watched through all the non-featured streamers. You just sit in the featured streamers list, and complain that IdrA won't play monobattles with you. Seriously? There are non-featured streamers that deserve it more than Megumi, that's the bottom line.

And there are featured streamers who deserve it less. It seems pretty unfair to me to single her out, especially considering she would have more viewers than everyone streaming at the moment besides Destiny.
Aren't there supposed to be strict rules about fan clubs? I am missing the moderation of hate posts/comments in here, the only people being warned/banned are people defending megumi. What the hell is wrong with TL?

Anyways, I'm just about done with this drama, megumi isn't featured anymore, and I don't think she should be, I like her stream, she's a great streamer, but doesn't deserve the feature.
Fun fact: next person to post something disparaging megumi is going to get a lengthy ban.
Also: posts like this:

TL why did you take Megumi's feature away? She is an active streamer.. semi-high caliber player, soothing voice.. good personality and active in the sc2 community.
She gets a lot of attention for being a female as well as being attractive. I get it. It doesn't take away from the fact that she puts in the time and dedication towards sc2 as well as her fans.
TeamLiquid hosts streams of the most respected SC2 pro gamers in the world, however simply watching some of these streams can become repetitive and boring. Megumixbear brings something different to the table, sure she isn't GM and she may never be. She is still better than 90% of the audience that watches her. Too many streams feature nothing more than a great player laddering and terrible music in the background. With megumixbear you get great commentary and interesting gameplay. With constant features of pro games such as ROOTDestiny, SixjaxDDE and others coaching during gameplay I would say that there is no other stream where the average player can learn more in a few hours of watching. I would challenge anyone at TL to site a specific reason as to why she is now un-featured, while so many others who are featured bring nothing unique to the table. While she should be featured based on sheer volume of interest, more importantly she should be featured for adding to the community of SC2. I've said my peace..... hopefully someone of influence will read this board and realize the error made and correct it, however if not megumixbear will continue to be a highly viewed stream.
PS I am a little drunk and if there are some grammatical errors please forgive :p
With all due respect ProTech, Megumi is one of the few streamers who has shown and expressed a clear dislike for cheating. I sincerely doubt she had any knowledge of Sorcery cheating, and as far as I know she hasn't played with him since then.
I don't think it had any influence whatsoever on her being being unfeatured at all. Kindly leave Megumi out of your crusade against Sorcery and everything he's associated with.
Megumi being unfeatured is probably a result of more streamers being featured - and they can't have an endless amount of featured streams.
edit: Lets face it guys, if we look at Megumi's achievements purely from an objective standpoint, she's not doing that well compared to the other featured streams. But, that's not the value in having her featured. Pro/GM streamers are a dime a dozen. Megumi adds more to the community than any number of Pro streamers simply by being a girl being good at SC2 and telling it to the world.
I have no doubt that she's encouraged other girls to play SC2 and to be more open about their gaming, and most importantly, to not be ashamed of being good at a game. It's their voices I would like to hear clamoring for her return to featured status, more than any other.

Megumi knows 100% that josh cheats.
You should just drop it an move on after all its just 2v2s
I just figured you should know that in the FAQ you say "she played SC1 and broodlord." Unless it is an inside joke, it's Brood War. (Take no offense, I'm intending to be helpful not annoying)

I am usually far from agreeing with Protech on matters, but speaking as someone who is friends with Sorcery, Protech is absolutely correct that she has played with him after he was caught.
P.S. Protech I'm not denying I've played with him too, so please don't take my message the wrong way and derail over it .

lol! yea i saw that, i actually copied and pasted from a comment that someone posted. kept it the way it was for jokes! so far you are the only one who has noticed ^_^
Sign me up! Everyone has to love Megumi. Even if she's not going to ROFL-Stomp BoxeR anytime soon, she's still tons of fun to watch because she's so pleasant and enthusiastic.

While that may be true, Megumi might not have known about it. She plays and streams more than she keeps up with the community sometimes. She had no idea who some famous player was either (I can't even remember who it was at this time).
Just saying, I don't think she'd play with a cheater if she knew about it.
love Megumi but can somebody please fix the OP, the grammatical mistakes are bothering me, and also idk what SC1: Broodlord is, Megumi is a respected gamer imo and the OP should be able to write a moderately well written post if they want to represent Megumi in any way edit: this mostly pertains to the FAQ portion

she perfectly knew at that time that sorcery is a hack user and started to defend him by saying he doesn't hack "anymore" (note if you watched protech stream at all its clear sorcery still hacks). This was awhile ago so you can go dig up the vods if they're still up. as someone who plays with high level professionals she should not associate herself with (admitted) hackers in anyway.
why are people so innocent and can't believe their precious shining star e-girl can do wrong idk ._. I don't agree with them unfeaturing her for lack of sc2 achievements since she does do a lot for the lower bracket of the community, but because she played with a hacker and knew he hacked I'm glad. w/e
It'll be a bit off topic. But im laughing so hard at all the ProTech's fan boys saying the same shit that he keeps spreading all over about Sorcery hacking. ProTech is just a frustrated kid incapable of letting go and moving on about this... Is there any TANGIBLE proof that Sorcery still hacks? I don't think so. Watch Vitamin's stream (Sorcery's partner) and he does not appear to cheat at all. It's just guessing and game sense and countering what his team scouts or what they THINK they will do. If Sorcery still hacks, why isn't he in the TL Hackers database? Get some proof before acusing someone of cheating.
Don't confuse MegumixBear and megumixbear. You know they are two completely different person, right?
On topic now, I'm not really a "fan" since you play terran megumi , but I watch your stream from time to time and like it very much. So mannered and funny. Keep it up and don't listen to the haters, especially NOT ProTech.
no one in here is talking about the fake megumixbear, why would you bring him up? Megumi played with him live on her stream at least once
Scouting? now you can keep laughing at the truth but when you watch protech stream and you see sorcery manner scan scout tech structures when they go up / blind counter build / move units away from roaches he doesnt see / moves units away from infestors he doesnt see / build counter units asap / its not game sense its haCK sense . Once a hacker always a hacker e Z. This is kinda made obvious by replays he shows
Man who cares about protech/sorcery. The talk is getting old and only protech cares about it so much. There were numerous bw hackers who are sc2 pro gamers now and people don't constantly call them hackers still because people change and they don't hack anymore.

Once a hacker always a hacker e Z. This is kinda made obvious by replays he shows
stop being so innocent
Once a hacker always a hacker huh? Did you know that ProTech admitted having "attempted" hacking in BW but miserably failed at it? Personnal attacks as I am innocent? Aim at what I say, not at the you-don't-know-a-fuck about who I am. Thanks. You only have ProTech's point of view. And since he dodges games vs Sorcery, how can you claim what you are claiming? ProTech just needs to get over this e-drama and move on in life. As all of his fanboys =)
Megumi going to IPL and hooking up with Gordon. I think this will fulfill day9's fantasy of megumes dancing with someone and getting hit in the forehead with an erection...
i dont understand why megumi is being unfeatured. she's not the top of the top masters/GM but then again, there are plenty of GMs that aren't featured.
her tournaments are always great and feature some great players (axslav just got done playing and i know your own liquid`ret was signed up) and she always interacts with the stream chat.
she also has excellent knowledge of the game and doesn't engage in balance trolling or flaming. a very respectful player and enjoyable streamer.
Yes, I agree, she needs to be re-featured. Having her unfeatured is killing e-sports! She's going to be at ipl 3 doing interviews and I know she'll do a great job there!
Megumi did a fantastic job at IPL 3 today! Out of all the interviewers, she's the only one that plays the game at a high level so can talk about the game and strategy and not just ask fluff questions. Looking forward to seeing you for the rest of IPL 3!

Definately, you can see in her interviews that she understands the game at a certain level which makes it a lot more entertaining. Overall a great job, a real natural in front of the camera.
wow, she is doing such an insanely good job at ign right now. filling endless amounts of downtime without it becoming akward or boring, she is courteous and thoughtful and, compared to many other hot girls at live events like this one, she FUCKING KNOWS WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT!
oh, and she is gorgeous.
thanks megumi for your effort to make ign3 a worthwile experience for us viewers despite everything going terribly wrong. your are one of the few glimmers of hope on this sad sad day for esports.
could someone spot me which players she interviewed plz? just any you remember. makes it easier wading through the stream for the rest of us who want to see megumixbear

She interviewed DeMuslim, Spanishiwa, KawaiiRice, and Alive I think today. I am probably missing a few more though.
edit: also, please refeature her. yes, there are players better than her, but shes an experienced streamer who gives great commentary on her own matches, something a lot of other people dont do
Megumi doing another fantastic job at IPL 3 today and head honcho of IGN e-sports, David Ting said she'll be back for IPL 4 as a host/player...wooooo!!
You have done an incredible job all weekend. Your demeanor, attitude towards the pros, quick adjustments, etc. I've been seriously impressed, nice work!

What is going on, she does IPL3 backstage camera and no re-feature? That's more of an achievement than 50% of the featured streamer! I demand that she will be featured once again.
Re-feature her stream already huh? She regularly has DDE and Strifecro and others on, does tons of helpful analysis of her games, and she runs monthly freakin tournaments. There aren't a lot of other people who do quite so much for the community all on their own.
Why did she get un-featured even? Like, isn't kellymilkies still featured and it's pretty clear out of the two who has a passion for esports, and who just has a passion for not holding a real job and money grubbing off her gender.

Yeah, there is another typo - "She has very nice multitascing" *multitasking
And is she featured or not? I cannot find her on any list(featured, non-featured). Besides DDE and Strifecro there was also Day9(at Bearcup time). That was insane.

Megumi interviewed by EdwardStarcraft - Interview There are interviews with a lot of girls so time where Megumi is on: 1:52-2:56 8:42-10:15 15:27-16:23
Btw. almost every single picture is enhanced by me in Photoshop. Photos here are "better" than original ones. To people with fancy and expensive digital cameras: learn to use them ffs To people with shitty cameras: learn to use them too
Nope, she's not. That's just someone who has stolen her nickname. Megumi doesn't even have korean account.
Well, it's not really stolen. Megumi knows who it is, as she said so on NASL, and anyone who follows her can guess the identity of that account.
So what that she does know who the "thief" is? Still, I don't think she's happy about it; nor she likes that kind of trolling. The point is, she won't be able to use her original nickname on KR server.

Haha, I guess I should have been more clear. The person using that account is a friend of hers.

Megumi was lately wondering what her nickname should really be. She's kind of brainwashed after NASL's "boss" advice(To called herself megumi bear). She's a woman after all.
I honestly think that there is only one correct answer - megumixbear. She's megumixbear on twitch/youtube/twitter and she was introducing herself that way since the very first bear stream. Besides NASL isn't even consistent lol:
Personally I can't wait for the Megumi X Bear and Bear X Megumi fighting games to be released. Though to be honest Bear has never been my style of fighter.
Polt lost to someone called Megumixbear (or something really close to that) on ladder. I know its not her but its pretty weird how some high ranked KR player is smurfing with her name :D

I think it's pretty cool because unlike the fake microsoft megumixbear (he's since changed his name now though), this smurf isn't done maliciously and he's a friend of hers. Therefore, I want to see this megumixbear smurf reach number 1 on KR ladder! He's ranked 28th now!

this is gonna be a random bump, but it would be nice to have her back hosting for WCS AM I just remembered how the scene used to have more of megamixbear, flo and zemotion's photos
also she is known as 銷魂妹 (how should I translate this, soul strikingly pretty girl?) flo is known as 黑眶妹 (black framed glasses girl)
