I think it would be a better idea if we get some regular casters. lets be honest the casters are not doing a good job at all, and though this a female tournament, i think they need to stop going for the ' feminine' sort of atmosphere. They are providing some good plays but really, the stream quality and casters must be replaced(imo they are just inexperienced). i hope to see a better tournament then this.

This post is dumb. First of all, everyone has the same chances of winning in SC2, parenting has nothing to do with that, if your parents don't allow you to play alot then that sucks for you but this goes for boys and girls alike. So that is already a big bullshit excuse. Second of all, women don't usually get harrassed at all, it's the internet nobody knows what sex you are. of course if you use a name like "sexy girl 123" you kind of even deserve it. would people with names like "hot boy 2000" not get harrassed simply for picking a sex-based name?

This tournament is complete nonsense, I'm a mid master player and probably better than half the people attending this tournament but I don't get to play just because I have a penis and they don't? Don't you see how wrong this is? Skill is the only effective measure in SC2, gender is an absolute non factor, being a girl doesn't make it harder for you. This is a general excuse for lazyness, they don't put in as much time and effort as male progamers do but they somehow feel entitled to have a right to play in tournaments for big prize money, they could if they put in the same amount of time and hard work, but they make themselves an easy way, they make their own tournaments and just exclude everyone who is better than them and the reason is that you need to have a vagina. Seriously?

edit: and yes please ban me for having an opinion. >.<

User was temp banned for this post.

So you'd even go as far as to completely denying the influence of parents and society to hold on to your simple misogynism. With so little thought put into it I'd hardly call that an opinion. Sounds more like an excuse for being jealous.

gl hf girls! hope this tournament increases awareness of women performing well in esports.. but its so sad to see our ppl in the community giving their "elitist" point of view.. who cares if there diamond... who cares if its only girls ( they do have tournaments for citizens of a country also) at the end of the day its about getting better and having fun whether if ur a guy or a girl anyways. oh ya the stream was laggy even at 360p lol

Her name is Livinpink and she's from Canada (Go Leafs!!) and I believe she plays Terran.

Chika:: yes the game itself is about gtting better and having fun. But when you throw in 10k and say these are the best 6 girls in the world is when it starts to get shady.

- Definitely need to work on the stream quality, was pretty disappointing.
- Need to work on the first day's format. Three games and we didn't get to see all 6 of the competitors? Really? At least there'll be a round robin tomorrow.
- Need to include at least one experienced caster. I think it's nice to have KellyMilkies or Livinpink as a commentator, but neither of them really has a lot of experience casting a major event. Between the two girls, there was absolutely no excitement or energy coming through. Grab a good, fun, play-by-play guy like Husky or TotalBiscuit to help round out the casting team (I'd say Artosis, but I have a worry that at some point during the games he'd just blurt out "These two are terrible", which would kinda hurt the event.)

I'd also love to see a larger invite list for that sort of prize pool, but I can understand the costs involved in sending that many people to China.
