User was warned for this post I don't understand why he was warned. It doesn't make any sense to have a 'female only' tournament. This isn't a physical sport nor is it about easthetics. It makes perfect sense. Read Nazgul's post. It's all about building community and having fun. Most people appretiate any effort that makes e-sport (or regular sport) more diverse and entertaining. Question is why are you against female only tournament but not against *insert school name* only tournament. Are national tournaments wrong as well?
Even if he might be wrong, i don't see why he's warned. I mean he didnt write sth descriminating. He just told his legitim opinion.

Stream doesn't work for me, just showing a still image, a circling circle in the middle and sometimes a pulsating yellow square around the circle, the meaning of which is unknown to me. Strange, last time I watched something on own3d it worked great :/
Same here.

A site moderator said "Don't post here if you disagree with this tournament".
He posted here.
He got warned.

On TL we're not just about warning discrimination or things like that. You may have the best point in the world with all the facts to back it up but if you use it to shit on a topic where nobody asked for your opinion we may decide to warn you for it simply because you're ruining the atmosphere.
Next person who goes needlessly offtopic in this thread will get a warning. PM me instead of posting OT stuff here.

nazgul made me live in fear, so ninja edit^^

Just wondering, how will the legitimacy of a player being female be tested?

Totally support this! There totally will have to be pictures for everyone involved.
On a more serious note. I will have to tune into the finals. Could be interesting.

I thank you to organizers of this tournament it was very fun.
and I was playing starcraft 2 as much as I can since beta this experience was new for me and I was so excited. But it was wonderful. I got 3rd place :D
I hope they continue to do this tournament every now and then.

So were mics required?
Edit: I feel like if that were the case, one could just have their girlfriend or friend get on the headset lol.
Of course that would be a very douchey thing to do.

Maybe this has already been discussed in the thread (and if so, the info should be added to the OP), but your rule that "Gender females only" are permitted to play is a little ambiguous. A pre-op trans-gender might already identify her gender as female, while still technically male by sex. Not to mention hermaphrodites...
Since this post the OP has changed to read "Females only"--does this mean only people who were born with the female sex organ? A bit discriminatory to gender females, no?

Lets have a general discussion in this thread.. not a good idea

I emailed Kevin and have been reaching out to some US female StarCraft players to see if they're interested as well. I hope we can have a tournament sometime - it sounds like it was really fun!
