The SlayerS team has produced the first female progamer in SC2. 14일 2011 GSTL 시즌1 주피터리그 4주차가 열리는 목동 곰TV 스튜디오 선수 대기실에 미모의 여성이 나타났다. 알고보니 이 여성은 슬레이어스에서 발굴하고 육성하고 있는 스타2 최초의 여성 프로게이머다. In the 4th week of the GSTL Jupiter League, a beautiful face appeared in the waiting room at the Gom TV studio. As I found out, this girl is a progamer who was discovered and nurtured by the SlayerS team. 올해 22세의 김시윤 선수는 ‘슬레이어스이브’라는 아이디로 활동할 계획이다. 한 아마추어 방송 대회에서 우승을 차지한 경험이 있고 다른 게임을 전문적으로 한 적은 없다고 한다. 슬레이어스의 김가연 게임단주가 실력과 미모를 높이 평가하며 직접 발굴한 것으로 알려졌다. Kim Si Yun, who is 22 this year, plans to use the ID SlayerS_Eve. She took first place in a broadcast amateur tournament, but said that she has no experience playing other games professionally. Kim Ga Yeon (Boxer's gf) said that she was selected on the basis of her skill and looks. 2011 GSTL 시즌1 주피터리그 4주차 슬레이어스와 TSL의 경기를 시작으로 팀에 합류한 김시윤은 “<스타크래프트 2> 명문 게임단인 슬레이어스에서 게임 할 수 있게 돼서 너무 기쁘다”는 소감을 밝힌 뒤 “초등학교 때 <스타크래프트>를 재미로 했었고, 그때 테란으로 플레이해서 <스타크래프트 2>에서도 테란을 주종족을 선택했다”고 말했다. She will be a part of the team starting from the 4th week of GSTL competition, making her first appearance in SlayerS' match against TSL. Eve stated "I'm delighted to be able to play SC2 as a part of the SlayerS team" and added that "I used to play Broodwar when I was an elementary school student, and since I played as Terran back then I decided to choose the same race for SC2". 또한 김시윤은 “팀에 합류하기 전에는 문성원 선수의 팬이었다”고 말한 뒤 “앞으로 팀원들과 함께 열심히 연습해서 팀에 보탬이 되는 선수가 되겠다”는 각오를 전했다. Eve said that she was "a big fan of SlayerS_MMA" before joining the team, and stated that she plans to "practice hard with the other players and work hard to support the team" 김시윤의 플레이는 빠르면 이번 GSTL에서 만나볼 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 슬레이어스는 이번 시즌 내에 이 선수를 출전시킬 계획을 갖고 있다. If Eve's play is fast (TN: I think they mean if she improves quickly) then we might even see her in this GSTL. SlayerS plans to give her a chance to play this season. Yes!!! Hope she does well ![]() ![]() | ||

In other news great to see that Slayers have decided to reach into the female gamers...not only does it give some eye candy but will be great to see how well a female can compete in pro formats :D maybe this is the start of a female invasion (which lets be honest...would not be bad for esports...not bad at all) | ||

I'm very much in favor of females being given equal opportunities and respect as progamers, but the idea of a progamer being given a slot on a prestegious team even in part because of their looks isn't okay. Especially a female progamer, since that makes a statement that detracts from the legitimacy of females as competitors in esports. That being said, congratulations to Eve! I'm looking forward to seeing what she's got. So you prefer to be on team with ugly players? | ||

I hope they get a comfortable lead vs TSL so they will let her play a game. Im pretty sure she's not going to play today. Maybe in the distant future | ||

The proper term would be 'Marketable'. The first female pro-gamer would need to be competant and good looking so she is marketable by the SlayerS team. This IS good publicity but she needs to project a good image because if it fails it will be really bad for her... I'd love to say that looks wouldnt play a part but a marketable face is a profitable one for SlayerS.. | ||

There's nothing sadder than that. I find no reason to pay any attention to eve until she actually performs. | ||

Doesn't say her looks is the reason Jessica selected her... It is sort of like Jessica thought highly of her skill and looks, she personally selected her. | ||

Anyway now BoxeR do not appear much to play in GSTL, I hope her joining the team will not make it even less chance for BoxeR to appear in GSTL. | ||

It's not necessarily strictly a publicity stunt, it may just be that it came up in a conversation and all parties involved thought it was a good idea - perhaps she is an unusually fast learner, etc. She likely will just sit on the bench until she starts doing well in practice .... which seems to take months for all but the most exceptional of amateurs. Just because they aren't going to play her anytime soon doesn't mean they aren't being serious about it. (Also, the looks part is why Bisu was scouted. So it's not like this doesn't happen to guys) At least, I hope it's more than just a publicity stunt. Slayers is Boxer's team afterall, and I have the feeling that this is one of the most likely sc2 teams to actually take this process seriously. | ||
