Tempo Storm's Magicamy to miss ESL Legendary Series Finals…

Not a video of her screen, that does nothing. No one is doubting Magicamy is a women. What they are doubting is who is playing the games. The camera would be pointed at her PC set up so you can see her, the game and that shes doing the actions.

Yeah I never questioned it too? Seeing her play 10 minutes of a game doesnt indicate anything about her skill level which is why it's a terrible idea. It also doesn't give evidence to whether she herself played the tournament matches or not. Either way, i'm sure tempostorm will handle this eventually.

Given how good Amy is shes more than likely a high legend player so you'd be watching her play vs high legend opponents. If she is getting rolled and making dozens of mistakes then someone else played for her probably. If she plays good and loses than whatever, that happen in card games or if she plays good and wins then its probable she played the matches.

The end result of the video isn't definitive. But its an attempt at proving innocence. This is not a legal setting so staying silent until the day of judgment is not wise, this is a video game community. It is my belief that doing SOMETHING is better than nothing.

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.


edit: because the neckbeards will be out in full force today:
If MagicAmy is actually guilt, then that's terrible and of course it's important that people know that. However, that investigation is something left to her teammates and team, not some random dude (from another team) who decides to "investigate" because she's a girl and has better results than himself. In addition, Chakki or whoever shouldn't be posting such defaming information without first consulting the team and/or the player, because now, regardless of the outcome, MagicAmy will also be guilty via community prosecution.

The whole situation is amateurish

Actually it's because she has dodged every single attempt to get her playing offline even in her own local region. If a male pro player did the same it would just be as suspect. It has nothing to do with her being a girl and everything to do with her actions. Actively getting close to lots of personalities while never meeting anyone in person and having "issues" arise whenever she has a chance to play offline while continually promising to stream is incredibly strange. I think you just care so much about the female narrative that you'll ignore everything else.

I've been extremely suspicious of her since this posting, where her tier list showed a complete and utter lack of understanding of the meta game, everyone who was anywhere near legend or played competitive knew mage was shit tier at the time. I'm glad info finally came out to confirm it.

Her list is pretty similar to Tarei's who she was said practicing with a lot... And I wouldn't be surprised if the asian meta was kind of wonky.

I gotta call bullshit on this. Plenty of highly ranked players don't stream or have never been to live events.

And getting close to lots of people but never meeting them in person is supposed to be evidence of what? Female gamers just aren't allowed to have friends because, if they don't agree to meet them in person they must be hiding the fact that they're really men?

And nobody has any right to blame a woman for being reluctant to stream, because just open your ears and listen to how people talk about female streamers. There's nothing at all weird about a woman being reluctant to sign up for that shit. Hell, why do you think there are so few female pros/streamers to begin with? I'll give you a hint: because the atmosphere in gaming communities is absolutely toxic if you're not straight, white and male and most people would just rather find something else to do with their time.

And the business of making excuses about joining Skype with Forsen? When some dude keeps asking you to join Skype and you don't want to and he won't stop asking, what are you supposed to do? You make excuses and every time it happens your excuses get weaker and then some jackass goes and starts "investigating" you because clearly there's something suspicious going on if a woman doesn't want talk to a guy.

Sexist attitudes are the only reason why any of this is suspicious to anyone. Even if the rumors are true, if this was a male made-up character, nobody even gives the behavior a 2nd thought. If this was a male made-up character, people believe you when you say "something came up", they don't automatically assume you must be lying, and they take "no" for an answer when you don't want to join a bloody skype call.
