While I totally think its ridiculous to argue against this kind of thing (I'm all for it), women's sports is not a very good analogy.. Female bodies are on average built very differently, making gender-exclusiveness a must in most physical sports.. But this doesn't lend any support to the justification of exclusiveness in esports or chess or whatever..
I'm not arguing against your overall opinion, i'm just pointing out that the analogy to physical sports is not very accurate
The brain is a physical, biological thing. To accept the reality of male-female physiological differences but deny the possibility of critical differences in the mental faculties of males and females is a contradiction. There is certainly an environmental factor going on here (do women feel the social stigma of being a serious gamer more than men? [imo this is a tragedy--what guy doesn't fantasize about the girl gamer?]) but it would not surprise me to find in a comparison of the two sex's minds an imbalanced distribution of natural strengths and weaknesses in spatial reasoning, competitiveness, et cetera.

Stay away from this topic if you disagree with the tournament, you're ruining a nice initiative.
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.
Perhaps this needs to be quoted to prevent this thread from further devolving.

women's brain's multitask better then male brains so they actually should have more potential then males at this game.

I think it's a great idear. I personally think it's a really good idear cause seriously.. Some people cant leave them alone and they get to have a relaxed tournament without anyone trying to creep on them. But yeah that's maybe alittle bold to say. But I think it's perfectly fine.

there should be a tournament for every minority group to encourage more of them to join by restricting the bracket so that it is less cut throat. You make tournaments for bronze level players to encourage them to play more. So the same applies for girls since we would all like to see a more balanced distribution of the genders.

Hi everyone, we will be broadcasting this attractive cup on our stream http://www.hitpoint.cz/stream. I would like to thank naddL and santo for quick and easy communicationthis. Hope our two czech girls will show some nice games

For all the guys that are crying about sexism, you are a guy, you have no grounds to say what offends and doesn't offend women. My view is that this will be a good way to get less recognized female SC2 players to get their shot at fame. Good Luck to ALL!

I hope there is tournament for kids who arent experienced RTS gamers. Im 16 I feel I have an disadvantage vs older players who have more experience.

But older gamers have lower handspeed than you, so it all balances out in the end. The perfect gamer would be a 30yr old brain with the agility of a 15yr old :D

So, this sounds really tempting to me. But is it true that I need voice to be able to participate? Because my headset is very nearly broken... -.-

Funny you say that. My bf (43 yrs old) always suggests there should be tournaments for "older" gamers because he says he just isn't able to compete on the skill level of a 16-year-old... ^^

Will there be stream or obsing? ty

That my friend, is a big fat urban myth.

If Navi hasn't signed up already she needs to!

Edit: I live the idea, my fiancée won't touch SC2 with a stick, and hates when I tell her about the GSL but hey, if she sees some other girls playing, she just might get into it.

Just signed up, probably gonna be crushed in 1st round, but I'm totally looking forward to this. Great idea!

I don't understand why there needs to be female tournaments? 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 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.

Mod note: This is not the place to discuss your concerns about female tournaments. If it's that important open a new topic where you can write an in depth argument but don't ruin other peoples' topics.
