This is a fanclub. If you are not a fan, get out and dont post. Also, this is not a discussion thread on negative things. Its a FANclub. |
Brain:
Come on guys, can;t you see what slayers are trying to do? It's not really publicity, more of a way of showing girl gamers that theres a way into an SC2 pro team where they can win money. They probably picked her because she's not great, but probably willing to learn a lot and has a great deal of free time. They will be training her and we all start off chobo at some point, and bringing in a chobo to a pro tournament is giving her experience JUST BEING THERE. If they rush her through and shes not good enough so what...many progamers have faded into the background and she'd just be one of them.
I'm all for her appointment as a message to female gamers that SC2 is NOT just for guys, and that the pro scene, where money is to be made, is NOT just for guys. Great thinking on the part of ESPORTS if I'm honest. She mite suck show girls in bad light whatever, but showing the doors are open is a greater thing to accomplish at this state in time.
Soccer was 'only' for men when it first started, and now female soccer players are discouraged from playing because the money sucks. Starting women early gives precedent for other teams to pick up the Pikachu's in the world, not just the latest fad guy.
Penis:
Also, Slayers player makes it to the final...I'm getting my picture with her anyways because hell, I wanna tap that

It's very strange... None of us have ever seen her play, how can you be a fan of her already? Is this fanpage purely created because of ''SlayerS'' In her name? I don't really think she deserves a fanpage yet. It's an insult towards the players/people who actually do have accomplished something or did something for the community, she however has accomplished nothing so far. True, this is ridiculus, just because she get "SlayerS" on her name t_t
Dude, it is because of the chestfat she has!

SlayerS_Jessica herself scouted based on her skills and looks.
I died a little when I read the "looks" part, but I guess I trust Boxer's judgement on the matter.
No reason to sign up yet though.

Slayer of bronze leaguers? Plus I (Caucasian racist - like Catz) don't really find her that hot. Honestly i find her kind of ugly And you need to state that in her TL fanclub thread? Really?

this is hilarious imagine if a guy was recruited for his looks and his gold league skills OP states she plays Diamond on another acc. KR Diamond could be better than US Master.

Gold and Diamond?! WTF! Regardless of whether the leagues are locked or not, she CAN'T be so low in her placement and yet join a professional team. Even Masters would be too low. I will watch after her matches carefully and see how she does.
Also, creating a fan club these days is way too easy.

I have no problem with SlayerS pulling in some random scrub as a "trainee", just because she's female and attractive, to promote an image and try to pull more women into Starcraft. PR is good for the scene, as is attracting a new demographic, right?
This thread/fan club, however, is absurd. Put it back in your pants, people.
In regards to the Sporrer comparison, I think the striking difference is that I think the people who object to this fan club look at the Sporrer thing and just roll their eyes, expecting the absurdity to be clearly visible to everyone. This, on the other hand, has the thinnest veneer of credibility, based on the claims (repeated many times already) of, "BUT IT'S SLAYERS AND I SUPPORT SLAYERS AN STUFF LOL". That claim is obviously ridiculously, but, for me, at least, it's the attempt to mask that it's purely based on her sex that bothers me.

It's not just for guys - but it is just for people who can actually compete at that level.
Slayers is supposed to be a competitive team, not a vehicle of e-sports and a tool to promote anything. Is she getting paid? Does she have access to team training area?
Whose time is she going to take to practice?
Which real progamer is going to have to sit out a GSTL game so she would get to play (and according to Jessica she will)?

Sign me up!
I'm in because I'm gonna roll the dice and say she'll do quite well. Sure, SlayerS_Jessica scouted her for her looks and talent, but we can't forget the talent side. That long with Boxer must have rubbed some scouting talent onto her (no innuendo there at all)
|
Was wondering how long before her fanclub pops up! Just making a comment (don't sign me up).
I hope she does well in SC2 because it'll be good for a female player to do well! Eve fighting!!
