You're not surprised that a female gamer Terran cheeses and then fails at macro, teching, and late game? Are you attributing this failure to being female, or to being Terran? | ||

Does she Skype with guys or something and I just didn't hear her voice? Hey there. I conducted the interview and I'm also pretty good friends with Navi. She hangs out in a mumble with a bunch of other people, which is why you heard male voices. | ||

I would be rude, except for the fact that girls get their own personal tournament in sc2. It's pretty much saying that girls can't compete with the boys, and they need their own tournament to play competitively. Whoever made this tournament is insulting women more then this guy ever could. User was warned for this post | ||

So Tennis is rude that they have Man vs Man and Women vs Women in every Tennis competition out there? The same can be said for almost every sport out there(soccer, basket ball, golf etc..). People watch these sports because of the excitement those bring. I love watch Kim Clijster vs Venus Williams as much as I enjoy Nadal vs Federer. Having tourney for female only is essential in every sport and e-sport is no difference. | ||

No. Just typical of Terran play at less than pro levels, and my opinion of that comes directly from that retelling THEY told. | ||

 I understand what some of you are saying but really, it's like TLO said on facebook a while back; "...women and man can only stand on equal ground as long as you have a lot of women seriously playing. It comes down to pure math so thats why it's a good thing to support female leagues etc." Anyway, it's not like they can't attend other tournaments if they wish to. | ||

I love watch Kim Clijster vs Venus Williams as much as I enjoy Nadal vs Federer. Having tourney for female only is essential in every sport and e-sport is no difference. Not to derail the topic even more but please just think for a second before you make such a comparison, those sports all rely on your physique and therefore it makes sense to separate them. Maybe you're of the opinion that females are somehow inherently worse at gaming as well, but as far as i know there's nothing to support that. My personal opinion is that it's simply because there's just not enough female gamers, and even amongst the few that play there's certainly not many who devote themselves to the game as much as the current top players do. Anyways, the interview was great and i enjoyed reading it. But i bet she said jaedong was the handsomest because of zerg bias, Nada doesn't have an entire thread about his body for nothing. | ||

It's true. If 'gamer girls' don't want to be segregated and poked at why do we go out of our way to make a seperate female cup. As if the two genders are any different when playing starcraft. Okay, let's make a male cup. It's quite a dumb idea and not at all an accomplishment. User was warned for this post | ||

While female gamers can join tournies like MLG/GSL they're dominated by men. So how do we get women into the GSL? Holding a female league has a lot of benefits such as giving opportunities for women gamers to shine in an area all their own. We men have basically grown up gaming together. Girl gaming is something that should be fostered if we want SC2 to become mainstream. I don't understand all the "Why don't boys get their special leagues, too?" talk. Many, many SC2 tournaments out there are male-only by default because all the competitors are male. Don't look at this as female gamers vs. male gamers. Look at this as a way to foster gaming in communities where gaming hasn't been as acceptable for people. | ||
