i'm curious about this too. doesn't seem like it's possible, unless someone in the community knows them irl and can confirm.

Sorry if this is a completely retarded question...but is there any chance of watching this? Is it being streamed? I can't see any mention of this anywhere.

No chance of watching it if you have plans for Halloween....
Silly day to organize it on.

This is shamefully sexist.
If there was any kind of prize, you couldn't legally exclude males. (See WSOP ladies' events)

Just watched the finals of the previous tournament and they both had 20 apm lol! The girl that appeared @Take's stream just made a lot of cannons and then got pushed around the 10min mark by a bio ball and then left.

I dont understand this...If you're gonna compete in a tourney you could at least take an hour to check out some replays or read a thread or two on what to do...

Maybe they just want to have a girls-only tournament... for fun? That's the point of the game, right? To have fun?
Is it that inconceivable that the participants in a tournament would be chosen solely for that reason? Or does every tournament ever played need to be open to all qualified participants, all the time? Better not plan on playing in clan wars or friend-only tournaments if that's the case.

As far as I know there are no gender restrictions on normal tournaments, so if girls are good enough they can just compete in those right? I understand the commercial value of female gaming, but what would really be good for competitive gaming is when a female can compete with the best of the guys. Emancipation goes both ways right. I'd say the "need" is that it would be cool for female gamers to have a tournament where they could play it out, and that it would be cool to show that there aren't only male players like we see in most tournaments. It also shows this to potential sponsors and female gamers unsure about SC2.

Get over it and join tournaments that are open to all competitors : P No need to have ONLY females or ONLY male tournies, as both are included in regular tournaments. I have no idea why people still insist on creating these types of competitions.
It's like the Frag dolls, they're not good, but the fact that they play Halo and can woop .5 KDR noobs makes them goddesses. It's just dumb.
Plus, an all girls tournament is just giving off the perception that men are better at everything. It's like making a "Special Olympics" Tournament. It's just downright degrading. I agree with this. Is SC2 some physically demanding game that men has an advantage? Are ladies incapable of playing RTS games of the same level? People should be patient, if SC2 becomes big enough, has bigger exposure, outstanding female players will eventually appear. Now we have a small tournament, filled with stereotype symbolism. What a joke.
Top level female players in any video game are rare. That's just the demographics. It's not sexism, it's reality.

Hasn't been a problem for Nada so far. :D
Serious note: Nice to see attempt to grow interest in sc2 among females. Would love to see more top female players. imo no reason they cant compete with men, other than just general lack of interest (and consequent smaller talent pool). If all-female tourneys are what's needed to get the ball rolling, I'm all for it.

The only thing I can think of while reading this thread is when that one girl played at MLG DC and the camera was FIXED on her for like 10 minutes straight.

ya and people were like 'lol women' when she lost even though she lost to good players

With all the hating going on in this thread, it wouldn't surprise me if female starcraft players leave and move to their own FORUMS as well as their own tournaments.
No class, TL-ers. No class whatsoever.
Calling gamers who start a female-only clan sexist is about as ridiculous as Glenn Beck calling Obama racist. It makes no sense.

If anyone ever wonders why women don't play SC or SC2, they should be directed to this thread.
