first off yeah shes cute but just ur run of the mill VERY avg looking krn girl. despite that, i still support this. any okay looking girl that doesnt hurt my eyes participating in e-sports in SOME kind of fashion, i am okay with and ANY straight guy should agree as well. in fact, recruit more girls, and i hope theyre hotter/cuter and i dont even care if theyre good or not, itll improve my GSL-viewing experience and make sc2 more mainstream.

it is really baffling why any guy would be complaining about this. sure if ur a masters level girl who is not very attractive then yeah u should be a little jealous/pissed off. guess what ppl, she isnt hurting e-sports. it's the ugly/socially awkward/overweight/greasy/smelly/hateful/bitter/unfriendly fans of sc2 that hurts e-sports and its prolly the same group of ppl complaining about this chick. to the detractors: this is why i dont share my love of sc2 publicly cus i dont wanna get lumped into the same category as U. dont be afraid of sc2 going mainstream and having attractive females participating, ull still be able to have ur WOW, dota, D&D, magic or whutever

Dunno about you, but I don't watch sports because the men/women on it are sooooooo dreamy.

Usually when I sit down to watch an event such as a sport or e-sport, I do so because of my enjoyment in watching these events unfold. Having attractive or beautiful players solely for the reason of having attractive or beautiful players is completely unnecessary in professional sports/e-sports. I don't mean to detract from her skills or anything. This is merely a post directed at the decision to add her partly based on looks alone.

I mean, watching the World Cup... How much coverage do the 'sexy' players get? What impact do they usually have upon the whole tournament? At the end of the day, does anybody really remember the 'good looking players' over the players/teams who did well, and/or won? I know it sure doesn't happen to me.

All I'm saying is, there is absolutely no basis to have professional players added to a roster based on looks. I can understand the publicity aspect but that's it. Nothing about it really makes sense from me. If she doesn't manage to deliver results, she'll just be another bad choice and quickly become another SlayerS member adding to their current slump.

she is a trainee, there is a photo of her in a slayers jacket but it is not like she will be taking games from Min or Alicia in the TL anytime soon, having the next MC would be great, but having the next female MC would blow up endorsements and pave a new path for Slayers

plus Slayers_Jessica is well aware of her lack of SC2 knowledge and so I am guessing she is going off of Slayers_Eve's willingness to commit to hard practice

just wait a few months, my feeling is Slayers_Eve will never hit televised games, but if she does it will be huge if she just doesn't lose

SlayerS obviously makes an attempt to make impressions with the appearance of their team. You can tell by their uniforms, and the clean cut friend vibe they all have. This is not by chance, but an active goal they pursue when looking into prospects. Just like in the real world, it matters what people think of you. When Jessica says she recruited her based on looks, she merely means she has the positive qualities they want representing their team and its sponsors.
