Negative reactions to having a girl on the team etc. I wouldnt be suprised to see the same disparaging remarks aimed at her on TL.net  Unfortunately it seems to the mentality of the community....(ie the reaction to the female interviewers at NASL for example..)1: That female interviewer you speak of didn't know that the event she was being paid to cover was the first of its kind. 2: She said 'excellent' every second word. 3: She used 'G' as an abbreviation for one of the races. (Which TLO is apparently now switching to) 4: She was using wiki on her iPad to read up on starcraft basics *while* she was proceeding to cover the event. These mistakes and language blunders were all avoidable, and most professionals would have prepared diligently enough to avoid them. Doesn't mean that she can't improve, but she reflected poorly on the company that hired her, and all the flack she received was absolutely warranted. I don't know about everyone else here, but I don't like that Slayers would allow a player to be recruited based (even partially) off of looks. Ridiculous that Slayers would release that information imo. How many guys get recruited because of their looks? I'll refrain from further judgement until I see her play, but after reading that she was (again, even secondarily) recruited based off of looks, and the fact that she admitted to being an MMA fangirl prior to joining - look at that pic of her hanging on him - doesn't leave me with high hopes. We'll see. | ||

It is sort of like Jessica thought highly of her skill and looks, she personally selected her. I agree with this. At the end of the day they are building a team to win games, not to make a calendar. I think people are just looking too far into it. | ||

I hope they get a comfortable lead vs TSL so they will let her play a game. Let's not forget Korea is on the other side of the planet, being attractive in Korea is a big deal, seeking beauty isn't looked at as being something shallow or insubstantial. | ||

She seems to be more of a novelty player to get fans or attention than an actual player to help win games. I could care less what she looks like, she could be a 400lb chick who needs an extra big size booth to play in if she was amazing at Starcraft for all I care. | ||

Yeah, I mentioned this earlier but it was edited in so some people may miss it - Bisu, arguably the best protoss player to ever live, was initially scouted for his looks. | ||

It's pretty much leftover from that popular belief. I think my mum still believes it. | ||
