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 | ||

How is that like asking "Why have bronze/silver/lower league tournaments". Are you saying women can't compete at the same level as men? im a little lost by what you're saying... | ||

Their putting and and approaches should be onpar with the male competitors because that isnt all about power, but still the male competitors are putting wayyy better then the females. So i can totally understand the female competition instead of a mixed competition Those limitations are due to physical strength.. There's no reason to divide females from competition. If you want to eliminate stereotypes and the whole gender roles attitude, females should be willing to compete at the same levels as males in e-sports. It's disappointing to see that these female only leagues are still coming about, I was really hoping this sort of attitude would disappear. | ||

I think this is a good start, since gals can play in their own gender based tournament, they can later on start to join the normal tournaments. I think what people don't understand(joking) is that most SC2 players are male. =P When you start female tournaments word will get out and maybe even more gals will pick up the game. Which means more may start playing in the regular tournaments, there are a few gals who do compete in the regular tournaments already and others who are getting their skill level higher and also are getting used to tournaments. Start small it'll branch out on it's own. gl hf. | ||

Thank for you for this post that of course will still fail to show everyone the entire point of this ESL section. We are not here to state girls are better than guys or vice versa, we are launching this section to encourage for female gamers to take part in tournaments. Female tournaments are way less intimidating than the mixed cups. This casual start will help them get their footing and then branch out to other mixed cups. So people please stop acting like the females who play in our organization will stick to only this organization forever. We are bringing more people to the scene and doing it in a way where no matter what, a female will get the spotlight and the attention, something you will not see in mixed cups. The reason why that is important is because once again it encourages more females to play. This could be related to a bronze/silver/plat/etc restriction for a few reasons. Number 1, sure theoretically a girl does not have less skill than a guy, but theoretically a bronze player doesn't lack the means of practicing and getting better. But to keep that bronze player motivated, its sometimes good to hold bronze cups so that the bronze players can feel some spot light as well. Its not about someone not being on the same level as someone else. Its about shining the light on more than just your standard top players. So inconclusion stop pretending there is a lack of male/open cups where the best players are getting the spot light. Stop pretending the scene is so divided up that girls never encounter the guys. We are doing a good thing here people, not a bad thing. | ||

It's because we make up .002% of the SC2 community. Out of the tens of thousands of gamers on Reddit and Teamliquid, our Facebook group Girls of SC2 is made up of merely 70-100 at best. That number might grow or might not grow in the near future yet even if it grew to 200 or 300 we aren't even .01% of the community. And even out of 100, only a fraction of us play competitively. Try to name as many female gamers that are competing as you can. I bet you could count us on your hands, you wouldn't even have to use your toes. So enough with the "girls can't compete with guys on equal terms" nonsense. The girls that are in the community can compete. You can't expect there to instantly be a "Tossgirl" for SC2 just because it's 2011 and it's a completely new game. These tournaments geared toward women are to get more women involved. It's not separation based on skill like bronze/silver tournaments are. Support these events and us, or continue to sit there mindlessly bickering about how women can't play video games, ignoring the obvious truth in front of you. | ||

And its not like football where physical superiority is a huge factor, sc2 is all about thinking, strategy, and attention to detail. (the latter of which is even a trait that is more prominent in females) Im not being sexist by any means, just curious | ||
