Sure you can say it's for fun and all, but most of these players don't seem to know what to do at all. I mean you could at least prepare a little and watch some day9 dailies or replays to get a general idea of a good build and how to play. I'm sure they will take your advice into consideration and improve their gameplay to meet your viewing pleasure, instead of playing the way they want to. | ||

I'd hope they'd want to improve their gameplay because they're playing in a competitive tournament, not because some random wants them to. I'm sure they don't want to play badly, it just comes across that many of them don't take it seriously or put any effort in at all. | ||

I'm not saying that they shouldn't compete if they aren't at a certain level or that they have to take the tournament seriously, I can completely understand competing in it purely for fun. However, with that said I'm just disappointed when I see that at least 80% players don't seem to know what they're doing. I could understand being limited by APM or struggling with macro, but a lot of the players just don't know a good build order to open with or how the mid to late game should look. Maybe it's just me but if I entered any kind of tournament (especially with around 1000 spectators) i'd play to win. | ||

However, when the tournament starts getting attention as an International Championship and the Taiwanese news interviews the winner and people start saying 'She's a 1 rank diamond, she must be good,' you do expect some form of higher quality play. It's just a contrasting image of what is presented of the tourney and the actual content. Now, that isn't ESL's fault at all because they can't control what is said about their tournament or if someone wants to overhype it. If all the competitors and the runners of the tournament look at it as a way to just foster a female community, then leave it be. I won't praise the winners of said tournament, but I'll let them be because while I may not get anything out of the tournament as a spectator and because of how I view the game, other people do get something out of it. Now, if someone is being praised as an amazing player and I think their play is mediocre, yes, they are subject to critique. What I'm hoping is by having a tournament for females, this will foster competition between them and as a result of trying to be better than the girls around them, the quality of their play will increase. | ||
