Of course guys! my bad! When the NASL and IGN fail miserably for starting out too big I will be all OMG we should have all listened to Leah Jackson because she knows all about running e-sports tournaments and how they should have started off smaller so as to attract less talented players especially ones from Korea or Europe.

/s I bet if she didn't have boobs you wouldn't even bother defending her.

I don't want to come off sexist, but is anyone else really tired of the "omg im a girl who plays video games look how cool and different i am!" thing that seems to plague a lot of console girl gamers..
(anyone watch that WCG reality show? lol)

... happy to see theres some girls out there who don't base their online person soley on that fact. incontrol's gf seems like shes pretty above that, hats off to her.

the others were kinda meh.

I don't understand, why do this feature? With regards we are all the same gender or race, why highlight this at all To me this is just as tasteless as 'Black guys of Starcraft 2, yes there is really black people who play Starcraft as well folks!'.

Are you kidding me? Quit shitting on this podcast already, want to know why e-sports wont succeed in the west? It's cause of this shit right here, awkward nerds shitting on girls that want to participate in the community being driven away due to casual misogyny and shutting them out from the discussion just because of their gender. No one will ever take us seriously if we can't treat women as normal human beings.

Why has this got anything to do with eSports in the West? There's nothing stopping females participating in the community and how the fuck do you get 'casual misogyny' from my post. When we are talking about a videogame why are we even making the distinction? This immediately creates a separation of us and them, when we are all the fucking same in a videogame. I think it's tasteless to even have this podcast which feels the need to even point this out. Especially when it's called 'Starcrack' (sigh).

You know teamliquid was already featured on a feminist site for some completely retarded threads full of hate and stupidity right. A feature like this actually makes MORE of these idiots come out of the woodwork and talk shit.

Would you actually support me making a podcast (being a white male) where i find random black Starcraft players and get their views on things, and call anyone who thinks it's unnecessary a 'casual racist'? Cause there is no difference to this. Gender or race, we don't need to make a distinction or marginalize groups. How the fuck you could take my view as misogyny for wanting women to be treated the same in the community i don't have any clue.

Does Incontrol make an appearance with a well timed phone call by any chance?
