The idea is to foster growth in the lady-gaming community, as a lot of games are a boys club at all levels, but particularly higher ones. So the women only tournament is to show that there are women at the higher levels of the game. That being said, I wonder if it really works as intended. | ||

There is a community let's not start splitting it by not letting others participate in your events as well. There are girls who are playing in the normal events and I don't think they'd have very kind words for this sort of thing either. Yeah. And schools shouldn't have girls sports either, and they should do away with the WNBA. Girls can play esports when they're good enough to compete with the guys, and until then they can just stay the F away. Don't be dumb man. Girls only sports are designed to encourage girls to play. Over time this helps girls be more likely to join in, and eventually when more are playing, the gap between them and guys gets smaller. Think before you post. | ||

There are girls who are playing in the normal events and I don't think they'd have very kind words for this sort of thing either. "Attention-seeking stunt" ... lol. Are you serious? In my opinion, female events like this tournament have the chance to solve the major problem the community has: That male gamers realize that there are girls playing, that it's perfectly normal, and that they're just there for the game just like the guys. With very few exceptions, most female gamers I have known all either stopped (multiplayer-)gaming or try to not have their gender generally known. Guess why? Because it's literally impossible to "deal with the it's-a-girl-stuff". A girl or woman at a LAN party (at least those I've attended) still is a minor attraction and her spot will be camped, her games will be crowded and people will do anything to get her attraction, to flirt with her, to give her easy wins (again in order to get attention). A girl or woman in an online game on TS (be it Counterstrike or WoW) will either make the channel or the ingame chat go mad and will inevitably lead to some form of attention-seeking from the male gamers during/after the game. While playing WoW, I've encountered several cases where girls/women were either stalked ingame or even IRL by male gamers who couldn't accept the fact that females only play for fun too and not in order to chat/socialize/flirt. My girlfriend (who also plays WoW) had to leave chat-/TS-channels a couple of times and had to abandon/ignore ingame friends because they totally got the wrong idea from a gamer girl just being friendly. It certainly has become better over the last few years, but there's still a looong way to go - and I think that tournaments like this may help. | ||

"- Any skill lvl are welcome!" would lead me to assume that it is for fun and publicity. Not everything needs money rewards ^^ | ||

It is really cool that 31 girls came this time. The next cup is already at November 14th (in two weeks) as your news says and I am sure there will be more than 31 girls then. By the way, we girls also participate in the other SC2 cups. This cup is only an addition for me. It is fun to be in ts with all the other girls. They are from all over the world and they can tell stories about their experiences in gaming. We are not outcasts. I am really happy that other girls also have fun playing this game and it is fun to play with other girls from time to time. I was so used to playing with boys or against boys that I really enjoyed it a lot to get to know these girls and compete with them. Thanks to every girl that added me on bnet, I don't think we will play until 4am every night but last night was just too much fun so it would have been wrong to sleep at 11pm :D <3 | ||

Except for the part where you notice the bad behaviour of half of the gaming community. Saying that some females who are intersex or transgender =/= female is the most stupid thing I ever heard, when some intersex conditions prove that gender is in the mind. Me, myself I'm an intersex indivual (stupidly known as hermaphrodite), I have PAIS (I'm not going to explain anything, you can google it). I'm treated like garbage because of that, people don't understand that having an intersex condition or being transgender is part of the human nature. I feel so bad when people made a mockery of me, this is the reason I prefer not getting into communities. But, I just hope this kind of stuff can help the SC2 community to grow more (even if I'm not part of it), it would be a nice feeling to know that there's more SC2 players out there. | ||
