what's the benefit impersonating a female persona in HS? it's not like there are female-only tournaments and you have to split the winnings with your female partner-in-crime.

would tempostorm have taken an interest if magicamy was magicandy?

she also stands accused of being one of the only female players in hearthstone--a heinous but ultimately grammatically fine statement.

Reminds me of this one kid who was also really good card games, winning many tournaments in the meantime. Unfortunately, the guy actually playing for him was an Egyptian dude living in some magic artifact.

we arent talking about the future. we are talking about the past. if magicamy was a man would tempostorm have picked him up immediately after esl like it did for magicamy? probably not. having the "best female player in the world" certainly has its perks compared to a dude who won a single tournament.

Having not read this until quite a bit after I watched the scandal break, I got quite a chuckle from the post's wording. I'm extra amused by this, as I was actually (a small) part of z33kTV when the whole Vera Lynn thing exploded (I was unaware of it until just before Rifkin went public with it; I was one of the people who formed BaseTrade with him).

I just hope there isn't too much backlash on Tempo Storm itself, as Reynad may have been just as hoodwinked as the rest of us.

That escalated quickly, Sir Whiteknight,

Whether MagicAmy is guilty of not, this "investigation" never would have happened if she was a male. Case in point, there's hundreds of male streamers and players and not once has another streamer sought to "investigate" them.

I don't know why I even try though; the gamer "community" continues to be fucking terrible when it comes to females, and I am pretty much at my wits end and continually embarrassed to be a part of it.

hotsy got the community treatment. hotsy is a guy. The evidence against him is honestly quiet weak and he was dealt with within hours.

If there was reason to suggest that some male streamers were using someone else to play there games I guarantee we'd burn them at the stake much quicker. But so far there isn't. There is however evidence that suggests Magicamy is a player of false pretenses.

edit: I find Amy's silence on the matter odd too since an allegation like this is super easy to disprove. Maybe Tempo Storm told her to stay shush and shes just following orders but in my own and possibly wrong opinion this seems like the kind of thing that you should just disprove as quickly as possible. A simple youtube video of her playing a few games on the pc with a camera pointed at the set up would probably do it. 10 minutes of recording

that sounds like the dumbest idea ever. MagicAmy doesnt need to react immediately because it doesnt do anything, they need to sift through evidence and backup claims, words wont change the situation. The video idea is even worse, we've already seen footage of her on ESL live, why would it be better proof of her identity on a pre-recorded video sent to youtube, that doesnt even make sense.
