Yeah, they keep hyping up her accomplishments when all she's done is win one ESL Female cup. Saying stuff like she was #1 player in her country, because she periodically obtained #1 plat/Diamond in her division, because she PLACED into the division at #1, stuff like that.
PS: You searched the wrong one, she's here

I mean, regardless of players rank or whatever.. kudos to razer for supporting these players. This is what is needed.
|
in that case; concider this as Mondragons razer Bio, with the 2 others added in for those who missed it last time
|
A girl would always hype up everything. We all know sex sells.

Yeah, exactly. She's a nice girl though, and she's definitely a better player than a lot of people out there. I've spoken to her a few times on BNet. We all know why she's sponsored; it's a good move.
But she's neither bad at StarCraft nor professional-level.

why does starcraft need a womans cup anyway? what possible disadvantage could having a vagina cause her?
either way props to her for getting sponsorships and stuff out of it, dont hate the playa etc etc.

Everyone who is mid gold or higher is better than average in theory, she's good, probably one of the ok-ish to better girls out there, but the fawning over her is obscene from Razer.

I don't see anything wrong with it...just gives girls a chance to compete? It's the same reason tehre are gold and lower cups and stuff like that, gives people who are trying to get competitive experience more practice with people at similar level.

If you watch the interview she says she's waiting for masters/grandmaster's league so them saying she's rank 1 Diamond is old, she also says she's currently playing on the US server so you'd have to find her sc2rank for that

Nice, really cool pages and glad they are sponsoring some of the pros.
|
This might be her? http://www.sc2ranks.com/us/737869/Pikachu
It is interesting how they pick their players. Fame and looks over results. I kind of agree with that as well from a sponsor point of view. Boxer is never wrong there.
Wonder why they picked up Mondragon though, I have no sense for male looks. ^^

Sell me a Mondragon mouse.

they probably picked mondragon since he is a legend in his own right and he was pretty much a free agent so razer wouldnt get involved in any drama/legal battles/whatever.

Pretty sure you guys are looking at the wrong profile for her. Even on her TW profile (IF that is her), look at her record: 97-55 - that's a 64% win ratio, and that's around 150 games for the ENTIRETY of Season 1. Something tells me that it's not her main laddering account...
|
sex sells, no surprises.
Don't need to be mean to her though. It's a vicious cycle. Male nerds bemoan the fact that there are no girls, but when a girl appears she is there because sex sells and therefore is not legit. Girl ends up getting dropped and can't get enough experience as a player, and the whole cycle begins again. You need girl/women's leagues because it's so much easier for girls to just earn money via sponsorship that there's no real incentive to worry about doing that well in the game itself. Gotta nurture the talent before pitting them against guy games with a huge amount of experience.

BUMP: updated the OP with the Jinro razer site  go read it guys, it's amazing!
If a mod could change the title to something like i don't know.... you will figure out something fitting ^^

Pikachu is Asia #1 rank Diamond! ._.
lol they are still using that quote. to her defense it was back when masters league wasnt out, but they are saying she was rank 1 in her division =_= not rank 1 on the ladder.
Regardless thats still pretty good, she also won the womans ESL championships so she must be pretty decent.
I dunno how much she really plays though, because shes an actress and celebrity in taiwan so i doubt she has time to be playing alot.
I wonder if she is in masters league now, if not then -_- why are they even sponsoring her
In fact im gonna look it up on sc2 ranks.

lol this is so wrong, she hasnt even played since the reset came out MONTHS AGO. Why the hell are they still sponsoring this girl, what a crock of shit she doesnt even play anymore.
thats pretty bs.
I mean if they want to sponsor her as a razergirl or something thats cool, but as a player its just kind of insulting to all the other real pro gamers on the team.
edit: are you sure that one is her? i think its more likely that this one is her: http://www.sc2ranks.com/tw/736252/PiKaChu
Regardless she has only played 11 games and she is in diamond still. Its pretty offensive that she is still on the razer team and they try and hype her up, there are tons of girls in Masters league who are much better and far more deserving, like say MegumixBear , shes actually part of the starcrat community to and she streams, i bet this girl doesnt give a crap about the game, she either hasnt played since the reset or has only played maybe 20 games.
