And on top of that then the honor and dignity that you throw back at those who hate and defile you is remarkable, while so many people would just crumble and aggressively retaliate, you have been a great force for good and showing the world what a real pro gamer and pro gaming team should be, and why it should not only be accepted in Korea, but around the world. ~~SlayerS fighting!!!!! | ||

Or is BoxeR's ability to spot potential suddenly null and void due to how Eve is a woman? except this kid prob doesn't even respect BoxeR. | ||

When the only reason she was chosen was because she is a female why does it have to be on par? a lot of female sports aren't on par with their male counterparts, does that mean they should all just not play and just go home? why can't females pursue their own dreams? they want to get more females into esports, i dont see how that's a bad thing. | ||

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. Come off it, Eve would never have been chosen if she were not female. She is a diamond player: she is not some brilliant, soon-to-be pro level worldsmasher than Jessica somehow brilliantly picked out. There are hundreds or thousands of players with more potential and skill than her right now. You really can't make an argument to that. She was picked because of her gender, not her skill. The question, though, is whether that type of affirmative action is right/acceptable/correct or not, with respect to the larger picture of female gamers in esports and so on, and that's a complex topic. | ||

It's their team, and they want to do more than just make a strong team - they want to help e-Sports grow. If you watched BoxeR's Wings, you'd see the sheer amount of passion and effort Jessica and BoxeR put into creating their team. Finding sponsors, finding a team house, all while Jessica took care of BoxeR while BoxeR practiced for the GSL. And after all that hard work from scratch, suddenly they can't recruit whoever they damn well please? What's with this idealistic sense of entitlement? | ||

However, that's a lot of text for this topic. I would have preferred to close this drama with a simple, straight to the point post. | ||

It is unfortunate so many people are filled with hate and jump to conclusions thankfully though it has been cleared that you are not suing Mr Haeun_Cielu, and that he need not worry anymore | ||
