That's like saying Yu Darvish shouldn't be eligible to win the AL Rookie of the Year because he was an A teamer for his team back in Japan. meh, starcraft is starcraft. I wouldn't name Mvp rookie of the year for 2011 either even though that was when he became successful. | ||

I don't know if that means they should already have Lauren out there now or keep transitioning/expanding the audience, but I can understand it because they certainly aren't only trying to appeal to hardcore SC fans. Lauren also seems willing to do things that I'm not sure a lot of females would be(for fear of 'not being taken seriously' which is probably a very real fear), and her background is certainly a reason for that. lol that sounded so much darker than you meant it. :D i agree though. i see what you're saying. i guess i don't really think about that cause i don't personally care for trying to reach a "mainstream" audience, nor do i think that's something you can force with these kinds of moves. i get where you're coming from though. | ||

Or Nestea when he played his first game. It should be reserved for up-and-comers in Starcraft 2 like Creator, Life, etc (*cough* not that they'll last long *cough*). | ||
