If you were in grandmasters on KR, playing against professionals, how would you feel when your chance to join a team is taken by someone else because she's a girl and you're a guy? But do you know for sure that Eve was chosen over a GM KR player? I'm positive there a lot more amazing players on the KR servers that teams haven't picked up. They've probably had people with lower skill chosen over them too. You don't necessarily choose someone based straight on skill, you choose someone based on if they have potential to be even better, if they can represent the team well not only in the game but in public, how well they work with the rest of the team.. Jessica said she chose Eve because she saw she had potential and wanted to get more female players into the pro SC2 scene. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the way she chose or what she's doing. | ||

When the only reason she was chosen was because she is a female Wrong. Saying the only reason she was chosen is because she is female ignores the fact that SlayerS also saw potential in her. Or is BoxeR's ability to spot potential suddenly null and void due to how Eve is a woman? | ||

As for the flamewar that has ensued, it's not important to me. What I like is the fact that you took a brave step in hiring a female in such a male-dominated field. The results aren't that important here, it's just healthy for e-sports to have more females interested in it. Keep doing what you do. | ||

There were a ton of people in the thread saying "lol, Jessica don't know to let trolls be" Criticizing her recruitment of Jessica is a completely different issue, and she has that explained partly in her post - Recruiting Eve is an attempt to spur more female gamers to join in SC2. | ||

Just here to give my support. I hope Jessica continues to work hard at pushing the sc2 community forward. Regardless of the haters. It takes drastic and controversial events like this to help change the expectations of a community. At one point in time, women were not allowed to go to school. They were considered inferior. Then, society changed and they were welcome. They obviously trailed far behind men, but looking at the education today - we see a drastic change. If anything, women dominate the education system. :D Thank you for being apart of that change! | ||

Gender shouldn't be a factor at all. | ||

if internet was more like real life, people wouldn't do stupid things all the time. honestly, sometimes it is sickening what you can get away with. when it's all done, you turn off your screen and go to sleep, happy you had a few laughs, while somebodies psyche suffers. SlayerS.EVE is a teenager. animals. | ||
