I hope your being sarcastic. You just implied that the male population of this planet tend to not have social lives besides the interwubz. are nerds really THIS conceited these days? There are TONS of people out there who are not girls AND do not touch videos games for a better social life (better in your context)
A slightly NSFW but possibly relevant reason for some discrepancy. + Show Spoiler +Well, seeing as all the muscles controlling the motions necessary for keyboard tapping (barring thumb ones) originate in your forearms, I imagine the incredible amount of wanking guys do gives us as a gender a natural disposition to higher APMs. Tells you something about NaDa vs Savior.
lol good one but imo the difference is so minute. Two runners that train for the olympic will be equally prepared despite one having to walk 20minutes a day to work while the other drives.

It's rare to see female players in highly competitive gaming I guess. Most female friends (especially the good looking ones) I know, who have that competitive edge in them, chose to use it in career, or some other fields with high publicity/exposure.
But yeah, nice interview and hope we will get to see more of her on international stage.

Rare to see a female gamer, I hope there will be more in the future.

Usually people make a big deal because a girl made it out of Gold league, we get excited, and she ends up being fugly as hell. I'll bet 95% of males out of Gold league are "fugly as hell" to females, what does it matter what they look like?
i would say a lot of pc gamers fall short of the mark when it comes to being "attractive" in the eyes of typical 'wanna be popular' females.

you are a really good interviewer. also nice camerawork for whoever does that. havent you done some other stuff a while back? maybe you interviewed bisu or tossgirl i forgot?

this thread is such a death trap T_T
seriously, she is beautiful, holy hell
btw: TaKe whats up with the hair  ? plz don't say you dropped the "baller" look

The more girls who play this game, the better. I'd love to see a greater female presence in e-sports. To hell with looks, it's an achievement enough just to get halfway decent at a competitive game with all the shit female gamers have to deal with just for admitting that they've got a vagina.
Props to the girl Take interviewed. She accomplishes more in a day than I do in a week. :p

Wow this thread is doing such a great job of weeding out the immature morons.
Anyways its very refreshing to hear a female gamer's point of view. Good work Takesen!

11 red's on just 3 pages and still more going on 
my thoughts about some things he/she mentioned in the interview:
+ Show Spoiler +to be honest i don't get why this whole "being a female gamer" is still a big thing... super professional gaming may be another story but we are here talking about casual gamers maybe low to mid-scene, right? i played almost my entire gaming-life in a team with some females... a few years ago it sure was a male thing only because gaming was really most just done by guys. but in the past, i would say 3 to 5 years, more and more girls became gamers...i guess even more on consoles than on pc but still a lot... you would be surprised how many females are already gaming... i think the thing is that most girls don't really make a big thing out of it...it's more that we guys still think that not really many girls are playing yet...which is wrong...and then many are surprised when they see an interview like that however...i don't agree on the whole female/male league and pro-scene seperation...but that's also another story...
anyway...since the thread is more about the interview and not about an agenda - nice interview takesen...
got some good and funny stuff lately, like the interview with the wow grandpa at the end...stream is also not bad...good work, man!

That's a right handed activity, Sleight, whereas the keyboard hand is usually the left. :p Who knows, maybe all progamers are left handed.
Left handed people tend to use their left hand for the mouse.

If anything we're being too lenient. Personally I think any mention of appearance is irrelevant at best and while many of the comments aren't completely crude it's something that should be nipped in the bud.

Ugh. I hate the immense amount of red in this thread.

man there's a huge thread on "Nada's Body" full of pictures, photoshops, and comments that if they were directed towards this girl would all be banned, but since they're to a male they're not. i honestly don't see the difference, and few people don't like positive attention, regardless of how crude, really...
e-- i somewhat take it back though because every thread being 100% like that would be boring

Honestly people. Talk about the interview or don't post. If I read this thread without watching the interview, I would have very little idea as to the content. That is not good.
Following this posts, stupid comments will receive 30 day bans.

Nice Interview. It'd would help out e-sports a ton if there were more women teams.
