Most of the time they either lacked any real answer, gave a joke answer or just said something was cute. its significant because its a celebrity. It's like what if you found out angelina jolie played starcraft 2, and she was good enough to win a international female tournament in addition to all her other work. | ||

Thats a great point, I wish they would field questions like this to male players more often. Really though I am not being sarcastic, so many of the tournament questions are so repetitive that everyone asks them. I like questions that they have to think about. I mean how many times do we need to hear, "I will try harder for my fans, I hope I can take 1st next time" Throw them off balance and ask some crazy questions. | ||

Here's more on Pikachu, he thread actually got featured/mentioned in a taiwanese news report on Linda and theres a few translated interviews there as well for those interested. [slightly NSFW] http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=153814 That's pretty cool though, she knows TLO/Huk and the other progamers. Avaclon, you mentioned that the Chinese/Taiwanese eSports scene is on the "verge of exploding". Is SC2 really getting that popular over there? Not SC2, but eSports in general (other games such as DOTA or CS). There's a bunch of tournaments being setup here and there. There's recently been a Champion of China league SC2 cup that was pretty decent that I haven't found any mention on TL. Loner, Linda's achievement made the news (on different side of the isle), especially since Loner walked away 2nd place in Blizzcon. Both Linda and Sen are consider "Pride of Taiwan". I wouldn't say GSL or even MLG level, but the fact it IS happening is pretty significant. | ||

Turns out she's like the Olivia Wilde of Taiwan or something. | ||
