Then the skill gap becomes bigger, and I start to lose games. I have the desire to win and compete, but I can't control my emotions since I lose all the time. After losing so many games, I become depressed and wonder if this is really worth doing anymore. I have to deal with these emotions myself, so it becomes very difficult at times. So, yeah. You do realise that you can not say that girls lack stamina out of one example right? A lot of virtuoso pianists are women. And piano requires far more physical and mental stamina than starcraft 2. | ||

Grats SlayerS, good to see you broadening the horizons of Starcraft and expanding your team with another great player. Looking forward to seeing her in the GSTL  | ||

The only thing that worries me is that in the press release it says she has been recruited for her skills and LOOKS, which to me makes it look like slayers and recruiting her as some kind of Marketing ploy but i suppose if you have the looks why not use them I doubt BoxeR would agree to recruiting her unless she displayed at least some potential. The fact that she apparently only played 100 ladder games(on her only known account, anyway) before winning a tournament and getting recruited by SlayerS is, hopefully, indicative of her ability. | ||

She has won first place in an amateur tournament before but has no other experience with e-sports .Looks like she'll definitely need a TON of practice in order to get to the top Anyway gratz to Slayers Team and GL to Eve Also it may be the wrong topic to talk about it put we have to say NO to female only / male only tournaments. | ||

It's entirely possible that leaving this out is a mortal insult in Korean and it just somehow gets lost in translation. I think also Korean society is still slightly more traditional in these regards so that whereas a formulation like this is basically percieved as sexist and discriminatory in the west, in Korea they're all like "why would you treat men and women equally, of course looks are important for a young girl?!?" though I could be mistaken here. Also she is kind of cute, and it will be fun to see if she can take some games off the boys at GSTL. I wonder what kind of ceremonies she would do? "SlayerS good IM bad Losing to a girl Makes Nestea sad GOOOOOO SLAYERS!" *shakes pom-poms* | ||

One who excels at SC, can excel at anything. | ||
