Actually, women typically have smaller hands, and their brains are wired differently as well. Men are more left-hemisphere focused on top of many other differences (go google and educate yourself.) And it's not segregation. Don't throw terms like that around without even knowing what it means. Segregation would imply that women are not allowed to participate in tournaments (ie all other tournaments are 'male only') which is clearly false. | ||

No woman is forbidden from entering a regular tournament, they are in the minority and have a cup for themselves, makes them play more and get more involved etc etc how is it bad? Btw she must get revenge on idra for making tossgirl cry! | ||

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. She is also a famous celebrity in Taiwan. Good job leaving out facts. This just really shows how diverse the population is for SC2. Perhaps other females who see this may begin playing. The stigma attached to gaming is terrible and is often portrayed negatively (at least in the American society, most notably the media). Seeing someone like a famous celebrity devote a lot of her time into gaming, in a way, serves as a "counter argument" to all the negative arguments we get against gaming. With more people like Linda Liao, eventually the gaming community can peel away this negative stigma society has on us gamers. At least this is how more open-minded may perceive the world as opposed to the narrow-minded view of "Oh, she is just a girl. Who cares?" Having a limited community will only hurt gaming and e-sports in the long run. Don't belittle the important things that go on in this community, its pathetic. | ||

Here's the replays from the finals: http://www.esl.eu/eu/female/sc2/cups/sc2goesfemale2/match/20325960/ Now, maybe I suck at analyzing replays, but the play doesn't seem all that good? | ||

If not I faced someone else named Pikachu on NA/SEA server (SEA being combined with NA now) who was quite good. Also it is a very good sign for e-sports that female gamers are showing interest as well. I doubt it, she plays on the TW server. | ||

Are zergs cute? sorry but it's true? do you see female players in sc2 tournies? no? females are less competitive in sports, brain games, and academics. you dont see female nba players. out of ~1.4k grandmasters, only 22 are female. academic awards? out of ~130 nobel prize laureates in the past decade, only 13 were female. you think female olympics is segregation? | ||

So because a girl plays video games she's less outgoing and less accomplished and less desirable than other girls?... Do you play starcraft2? Do you see what's wrong with your statement? | ||
