And on ladder I doubt she is playing vs many other girls. there is many 2k diamond players but I've never seen navi win any regular tournaments. you do understand the bonus point pool system and what not ? how long has the game been out now players who skill reflected by points is far ahead of 2k. | ||

Nice to see that she is taking this at least somewhat seriously and has a drive to do better. Plus the fact she said Jaedong was the most handsome progamer (which is true btw) means she is a smart gal. | ||

Tons of men on this forum say Jaedong, Flash, Nada, etc are hot, most normal thing in the world. Never change. To be honest I think jaedong is far from being the hottest progamer that's why I find her answer surprising. But anyways, why so negative? you might want to talk about the OP and the interview instead of directly jumping on the comments like a predator. | ||

I'm just saying that's impressive since girls typically aren't that good at this type of game. I would be equally impressed if a 6 year old can get 2k points. But I'm not gonna wanna date the little guy. | ||

Seriously, there's no need to keep reiterating that issue. Any sort of competition at any level has a point if people are willing to organize it and others are willing to play in it. | ||

Seriously, there's no need to keep reiterating that issue. Any sort of competition at any level has a point if people are willing to organize it and others are willing to play in it. You make a good point but the reason these things annoy me is they seem to discourage good female players from participating in the other competitions. I'd rather see girls tearing it up in GSL/MLG/etc with everyone else, but if they're spending their time practicing for these female only cups they wouldn't have time to right? I like how in fighting games, if they have a female only tournament at an event they typically REQUIRE the person to enter in the main tourney as well.. This is nothing against female gamers, in fact I support them 100%, just wish they'd step up to the main stage more :\ | ||

Not many people - male or female - like it if you compare their skills to those of 6 year olds like that. | ||

I'm just stating how an "atypical gamer stereotype" were to achieve some feat such as 2k points. It's impressive. I was part of being competitive at GH/RB (yea, go ahead and laugh) for a long time. Girl gamers that could FC lots of more difficult songs was impressive and not very common. There was also an 8 year old named Ben who could FC TONS of songs, he's incredibly talented at those games. And it's just impressive to see someone who isn't your typical gamer stereotype perform well. If a 3 year old and a turtle could both run a 6 minute mile, I'd say those are both incredible achievements. I'm not suddenly saying "look, the 3 year old is just like the turtle lololol". | ||

I'd rather see girls tearing it up in GSL/MLG/etc with everyone else, but if they're spending their time practicing for these female only cups they wouldn't have time to right? I'd like to see that as well, but I don't see why these tournaments would discourage any girl who thinks she's good enough to step into higher level tournaments. At the end of the day, there's the fact that you can win 80k bucks in the GSL, and you can win maybe a few hundred (if any, I've no idea what the prize was) in the "female cup". Any competitive person regardless of gender will try out for the big prize if they feel they've got a chance of getting it because money has the same value for everybody. Navi is apparently less than 2k rated diamond, so her not trying out for MLG/GSL probably has more to do with her skill level at this point in time than her gender. I'm a mid-diamond rated player myself, and let's say I could afford to fly to Korea or US, but why would I? I've got no chance of qualifying or going past first round at my skill level. The only difference between us is that I can't take part in female tournaments. =P I guess they mostly practice and improve on ladder, so it's just a general sort of practice rather than "practicing for female cups" specifically. They play against 2k(ish) diamond players most of which are male anyway. Without training partners or teams, their training regime would probably be the same even if they were preparing for GSL qualifiers. | ||

I, for one, think it's awesome. The one big "complaint" I've had with gaming being my favorite hobby is I've never really been able to share it with a member of the opposite sex. I'm glad she did well, so congratulations to her on her win. | ||
