Also, the whole direction of slayers heading is to recruit potential players that will be able to become the stars of tomorrow, they're only looking for players with good micro/apm, then they will teach them the mechanics later, rather than picking strong mechanics player then teach them micros (which is talents based most of the time). I think in this case, she got really good apm, but what kept her from becoming master is her mechanics. Like if Idra is free and want to join Slayers, they woulnd't want him anyway, because they don't see how much he can improve.

As long as she is seen as a prospect skill-wise, I really dont have a problem with her being mostly image until she realizes her potential. Its hard to imagine a better team to bring that out than Slayers.

Its possible its 100% because she looks good, but I would actually give a team like Slayers the benefit of the doubt - BoxeR does have an eye for talent.


Im gonna make the same assumption here as I would with any new recruit to Slayers - no, of course she will not live in the team house.

Thats because Slayers operates like an SC1 team with an A team in the house, and then online members. I do hope that if she becomes A team level, she would live in the house, just because I think that would be extremely good image wise ----- however, to be realistic, I would probably consider it pretty daunting to live alone with that many guys, as the sole girl so I couldnt hold that against her if she ended up not doing so.

Plenty of male progamers prefer to live outside of the team houses anyway.

Looks like we've got another Tossgirl =\

Edit: actually, that's too quick to judge. She might be a fast learner, and in such a practice environment could thrive. Here's hoping!

I would have to argue the oposite and say destiny is a lot worse than his fans give him credit for, but that's going off topic so I'll stop at that.

Her being diamond is a bit strange, but I trust that a team like slayers wouldn't just pick her up because she's female, and that we will see her do well in the GSTL/GSL in the future.

There are less smart women then smart men?

Is there some kind of study done that I can read up on? Please reference for my "stupid female" brain..

Wow, boring that she wasn't "SlayerS material" after all. I this whole "building for the future" I don't really buy. Wouldn't it be better to recrute Master players who already can play the game and form them into pro players? But then again, most of the players aint pretty girls either.

Oh man Cella looks awfully happy to be next to her hahaha :p

But I'm really glad SlayerS is starting to include girls (one for now), it's always a good thing to see the world of esports maturing to allow everyone to become part of the scene

This is cute but pretty much the fantasy of low level players everywhere. The girl is playing at mid-diamond at best, there's no amazing potential shining through in any diamond players which is going to make Boxer think they're the next karate kid. I'd rather SlayerS recruited Kellymilkies if they want to hire girls for attention, least shes masters.
