EPTAnd she does look good. A younger and thinner version of T-ara's Soyeon :o
Goodluck to her! Eventhough TheBest is a nub, as long as she is on his skill level I approve.
Code A would be way more then any of us could ask for.

It all depends on whether she has the hand speed and the motivation to improve. Really hoping she doesn't turn into another SlayerS`Cheerleader. | ||

Not, HuK has trouble staying in GM, and moonglade is rank 186 man, it's not easy to stay up in GM in Korea because there is a lot of competition for those 200 spots. Huk has NO problems staying in GM, NONE. The ONLY reason hes not in GM is because he couldnt play from Europe. There was something wrong with his GM account when we tried to have someone play a few games on it to make sure he wouldnt drop out (we were gone for almost exactly 2 weeks), which we werent able to solve in time. Anyway, lets not overestimate the toughness of GM - its pretty high level but Huk has nooooooo problems getting high up there lol | ||

Socially, I think men have a higher tendency to express their gaming habits publicly let alone be a professional gamer. So it would be understandable if the pool of high skill female gamers is not automatically ready to roll on a moments notice. It will take a while for both pro teams to raise up their female representatives with the training and what not and time for the gaming community to stop freaking out about females in general. But hopefully it will become more common because there is only so much Tossgirl can do on her own. Good point. The thing is, a lot of Korean players, especially those in Slayers, tend to be picked up while they're still mediocre and haven't been refined yet. Slayers doesn't try to pick up existing top players. Now, all of what I said is common knowledge, but the only reason people are questioning the decision now is because she is female. If she were male, then she'd just be another potential player of Slayers who could turn out to be the next MMA, or just another dud. Most people here have the wrong idea and think a girl should only be picked up on a team if she's already proven to be top level. With that level of thinking though, we'll never see any girls in progaming. We need more female players to step up, whether they're the best or just mediocre. As long as they have the competitive spirit, they are potential star players. Unfortunately, because they're unique right now, they have to 'represent all female players,' and if they fail competitively, some close minded people will just assume all girls suck and can't play with the men. It's a similar thing with foreigners in Korea. Right now people are putting undue pressure on FXO, and say idiotic things like "FXO embarrassed us, if only we had an all star team of foreigners go!" Well guess what, if we waited for the 'all star team' then it would never happen, and we would never go to Korea for fear of failing. Huk and Jinro and FXO are paving the way for foreigners, this girl is paving the way for female players. That's the big picture. | ||

There has to be a reason she was recruited beyond looks, as it seems unlikely that SlayerS'Jessica has that much authority over team recruitment. | ||

If they are going to recruit girls why can't they actually just choose girls who are actually competent in the game? There are tons of them out there. This girl is gold/diamond? Can the Slayers team make it any more obvious that they just chose her b/c of her looks/the fact that she is a girl? Come on now. | ||

Are you insulting Boxer and his wifes lack of scouting ability when you in fact do not know how good this girl is besides testimony? | ||

How many girls in Masters/GM are there? And as many have pointed out in the thread, the point isn't to recruit a top player. Slayers (and more important, Boxer) has always been about finding untapped potential in players. I'm not saying this girl will become a bonjwa, but writing her off just because she isn't hot shit at this very moment is a crucial mistake that MMA's and iloveoov's victims made. | ||
