Q: Why did you pick the ID 'Pikachu'?

A: I've used this ID since Starcraft 1, so in Starcraft 2, I registered with it. Forget why I choose Pikachu initially....

i can help, for every1 wondering, she probably chose this ID bc "pikachu" is a famous pokemon from the video game and tv show pokemon


This made me laugh so hard. Good work lol!

Regardless, I don't mind separate leagues. The purpose is not solely for more balanced competition, but simply to reach out to a wider audience. Nothing wrong with that. If you're a 12 year old asian girl, which league is likely to be more appealing?

If these leagues are going to be full of 12 year old asian girls, I'm going to go ahead and say there will probably be some problems. And that we should definitely have these leagues.



from a spectator standpoint, obviously

She is not only a girls who know the how to play and rank in diamond (which is way better than most of the noob)
And she is a entertainment celebrity, has appear in TV, drama, music video and have some album release.

She might not be the best player in diamond, but if you watch replay. at least she know what it build order.

Here is the wiki page for her

Ehhh...I kinda feel like...who cares? There are much better players than her and it's silly to get worked up over a girl just because she plays Starcraft. Most girls I know that play video games are far less than desirable and I see no immediate reason why I would prefer her over someone more outgoing and accomplished.



yah, I am completely confused by his statement... seriously? Why wouldn't people get worked up about a female SC2 player? It's an uncommon thing... isn't that interesting in itself? I am a female gamer and I consider myself better than "less than desirable", and I'm not talking about the way I look... I go to school, work, and play mass amounts of video games. Pikachu goes to school, works, plays video games AND wins tournaments, how are either of these situations not considered accomplished? idk...she's seems pretty outgoing from her interview. Your post seems pretty ignorant.

I second that. Winning a tournament (regardless of gender) is a feat, but working as a celebrity at the same time? How the hell can she find time to do it all? Very impressive indeed. My work schedule is probably not even half as intensive as hers, and I struggle in very, very low diamond. A multi talented young woman!

i think its not the fact that shes a girl that amazes me, but the fact that she was in show biz BEFORE her starcraft success really says something about her personality..


hey, i can do what billions only dream of doing for a living, or i can play starcraft?

i choose you, starcraftachu!!
