NESL Iron Lady Launches! - Page 10

This is not a discussion topic on whether you think women should run separate tournaments. This is a thread for the NESL Iron Lady events.

If you would like to sign up or wish them well or offer aid and support, this is the place. If you want to complain about the work they've put in or their message, don't. This is your warning. - Jibba 16:18PM EST / 05:18 KST

Things like IronLady do just that.

I totally agree with this. I have one of the best arguments that I can think of:

I hope they play the game TOTALLY different. I love to watch Sheth, Idra, Incontrol etc.. play, but in the end it's still the same type of gameplay. I'd be super interested to see how the female mind plays the game. (not being sexist, just pointing out that women think and react differently to stimuli if it was given to both male and female).

Can't wait for the games to start!

Also, I see a future of Celeb SC2 relationships?

I hope Luway plays, even though she would most likely crush everyone. Also, if flo isnt too busy doing her nails she will WIN, if no Luway.

Cheers, I understand this is in no way separating the genders but just encouraging more women to join in by having an initial starting point to branch out from. A lot of sports clubs do this and the women that start that way go on to compete in other mixed-gender competitions.

Good luck in the tourny and if there are casted vods I would love to see some links to them later to check it out!
