Females are looking for a place where they can play together, just like there are tournaments for Dutch, Germans, Swedes and whatnot that others can't join. It's not necessarily about not being good enough to join international tournaments but moreso about building a community and events around a certain type of people, in this case females. | ||

This is a good thing for e-sports in the long run imo, there's only a few select (actually just 1 i can think of) females that can roll with most high level male players. There always will be some people who complain regardless if that makes any sense or not. This is how this world works imo. Kinda sad... | ||

To other people complaining: Stop complaining =.= Especially when people try to make arguments where it's unfair. Heck, you can make any kind of tournament you want. And the thing is, remember it's quite different in a lot of sports (e-sports or regular sports) It's not always just skill level which is the main reason we have female-only games. Sometimes there's just tons of mannerisms. I mean, have you SEEN what happens sometimes in ladder games when a chick plays? If remotely it' a chick, sometimes the guys on the other team will just like ... hit on them. Most of the time it's disturbing to the girl because she just wants to play SC2 and not have people hit on them. In other cases, you might have those guys that just talk trash and they might not be comfortable with that either. See what I'm getting at? (Side-Rant NOTE: Besides ... there's nothing that really counts as any-ism (sexism, racism). Just get it through your heads. Take computer science ... it's just a random optimization for real life since deciding a person might take too much time. Take logic. GG the world.) | ||

While initially interested, apparently Starcraft 2 has struck her as ridiculously complex, even though she played some SC1 campaign and even watched lots of proleague with me, knows the names of all BW units and a good few of the players! She is very capable with a computer and some games. Having 100% female play to share with her would be cool- because as unattainable as BoxeR or NEXGenius play is for me, its almost pointless to someone who isn't into it at all. | ||

And for a normal tourney for everyone, you either need to fake beeing a male or be mental ready for strange comments every second game. | ||

We have some streaming offerings, if somebody is interested too he can contact me via PM. The sense of the cup is a meet and greet between the girls We don't want to make a EMS or seperate them, they also play normal cups in the ESL that are open for everybody.I will ask the American Section of ESL too if they want to do such a Cup there, this is not a problem. And for all critics: we will do a 2on2 Ladies Choice Cup with 1girl and 1 male in a team, could be fun! If you would see yourself how much fun a small cup can make you would not have the opinion that is is that bad Fun is the right word to describe these cups I am a bad player myself in SC2 but that's not a reason to not play it, right? It just makes a lot of fun. MeeraN would kill me ingame in 4 minutes and? It is not important, I am still learning  Good players are not born, they practise and get better! I wish you all fun and I hope that you let us girls have our fun, too! | ||
