Nobody else has the skills to compete with the boys AFAIK Excuse me? you obviously dont know Cadenza and Effka who are both equally hi masters if not more skilled. Actually, Effka is one of the best female players in europe. The tournament is welcoming everyone who wants to compete so if they are willing we would love to see them all compete. | ||

I'd like to see the Special Starcraft League for players with disabilities, just imagine the possibilities...how awesome would it be to watch a player with 1 arm only playing with mouse or no arms playing with feet, better yet a player with a mental disability that scouts with command center....brilliant User was warned for this post User was temp banned for this post. | ||

This is not the place to discuss this obviously. Agreed. Every similar thread has been derailed to oblivion by the same sort of "arguments", most of which make no sense at all. | ||

Ridiculous. I wish I had the report button. The point of this tournament is to encourage female participation in e-sports, it has nothing to do with "competing with males". In case you don't fucking realize, the ratio of guys to girls who play starcraft is not 1:1. I don't even know why I bothered saying that considering how the OP has already explained this more than sufficiently to people like you who come here to deposit your little sexist remarks. | ||

The current culture both within and outside of gaming places extreme pressures on females against being interested in both competition and video games as a competitive (ie, not girly) endeavor. The lack of female gamers in high profile tournaments does not come from lack of skill but from socially projected restrictions against them doing it. B.) Showmatches vs blind folks already happen in SC1 | ||

It doesn't matter what it's worth! It doesn't matter if it's all male, all female or all dog. Competition is competition and it's great that we have more tournaments to watch. | ||

TSL 1 and 2 Essentially 2/3 of all TSL tournaments. Essentially the exact same reason the TSL was started in the first place. Now we have TSL 3 built on the backs of TSL 1 and TSL 2 and TeamLiquid and other non-Koreans believing against all odds that it was possible to be competitive against Korea at all. | ||
