Anchor: Linda the singer obtained the the European ESL girls championship. ------------------------ Reporter: Linda the singer played video games all the way out of the country. She joined the European ESL girls competition, beating representatives from 32 countries to become the world champion. ----------------------- Linda: So I started playing from 2 am to dawn, and uh...because you have to wait in between games, you have to keep your hands active and can't stop them, otherwise you will lose your touch. So, that's the difficult part. ----------------------- Reporter: After Linda won the tournament under the name Pikachu, everyone was curious as to who this girl from Taiwan was. Who would have thought that the web was so resourceful that people found old photos of Linda's underwear advertisements and put them up on the web. The people online were surprised that the winner was so "proper" and hot. ----------------------- Linda: It feels so exposing*, because I'm just a gamer, and I don't think that, because of my job, I am more special. And they, on their American website put my pictures up. It makes me feel very shy. Because I can't see them, but they see me so clearly**! ----------------------- Reporter: In order to play video games, Linda has had a personal record of not sleeping for four days. Her mom used to scold her for ________*** for video games. Now, since Linda came home with the world championship, her mother instead says that her daughter makes her very proud. * in the naked sense ** able to see so much (skin) that there's "nothing left to see" *** I don't understand what she said. | ||

The word she used can be translated to both shy and embarrass. In this case I think she meant shy than embarrass. In this video, it kinda implies that it was for SC2. | ||

Alright, now thats out of the way, I kind of feel for her - but I mean, that's an issue with celebrity status - particularly when you have pictures taken of you with scantily clothes. I mean, what does she expect? Either way, its always cool when celebrities are caught playing this game, and it could be an indication of the growing status of starcraft 2 in popular cultures. Let's keep our fingers crossed. | ||

the caster is a bit biased for Pikachu, but he's Taiwanese so that's understandable  Game 1 Game 2 Game 3 + Show Spoiler + her opponent is honestly not too good - didn't even get warpgate tech in two of the games it's funny how taiwanese players call gateways "bg", cyber cores "by", robotics "vr", etc. | ||
