So I guess I don't get why we need a specific league for something where there's literally nothing stopping a girl from being damn good at the game, just as good as any guy. Still, if this is the first step towards working in a new demographic, or simply helping more casual players see that there is an opportunity in the pro scene, more power to you and this idea. Hope it goes well! There's nothing stopping a female curling team from beating a male one either but they still hold competitions separately. | ||

If some sort of female representative or major SC2 representative comes out and says that females are inferior to males in the game of starcrat2, then i will fully support the idea of having special treatment for females (ie, what they did with Eve, female only tournaments, female league, etc. etc.). Otherwise, i consider this sexist and insulting to females everywhere. | ||

I'm not sure you understand what sexism is... The point isn't that guys aren't allowed to participate, it's that a LOT of the female community feels unable to play online or go to tournaments with the same type of freedom or credibility as male players. Don't you think that female players who win or do well in a tournament like this will only be MORE likely to compete in events like MLG in the future? | ||

Actually he understands very well what sexism is. Right now ALL serious tournaments are gender independent. This one is for one certain gender only. And thats sexism. It wouldnt be sexism if females were genetically worse in sc2 than males. Than it would be sexism to have them participate in the same tournaments. I mean, look at sports, its the exact same thing. Would it be fair to have women and men together in a 100m run? Hell, no! The women dont stand a chance. Thats why you have gender specific tournaments. Actually it would be sexism if they were forced to run with the males. But in sc2 there is no reason to expect women from being naturally worse. So gender specific tournaments indeed is sexism. Dont get me wrong though. If you want more women in esports in generall this kind of tournaments WILL help. There is also a higher chance that we will see women in "all gender" tournaments like mlg. But its still sexism.... | ||

This is a cool idea I guess, but if anything it drives home a point that isn't there: girls can't compete [at SC2] with boys. | ||
