For all its faults the SC2/BW gaming community is so many miles ahead of the FG community it's insane. I remember watching a preview event for UMvC3 last week and there was a girl blowing people up, with casual and blatant sexism abound when people lost to her. | ||

Haven't run into any of the others so can't say much about them... it's a little sad though that SlayerS decided to pick up Eve though, there are a lot of very capable female gamers who are outperforming her, and I bet some of them don't have teams =/ | ||

I don't think so, I think she is a good contender to go all the way to the finals. She is really impressive and has some great strats planned out. Also, she played well against Colagirl even tho she was really nervous. I'm sure tomorrow she will be more mentally prepared and will perform at very high level. =) | ||

Gaming is one of the few places where both genders can compete on an even basis, as such there is no reason to give special benefits and prizes to one over the other. | ||

I don't see the reason why there should be special tournaments for some people who don't practice just because they lottoed the right gender. To encourage them to practice? | ||

To promote diversity? To highlight a relatively unseen side of an e-sport? To appeal to a female audience? God some people are sour. Dear sour people: do you understand why males and females are split for most sports? Physiology right? "Oh but e-sports don't factor into this." Perhaps, but do they really factor into Lawn Bowls? They have a mens and womens team. Are there professional lawn bowls players complaining that if they were born of the opposite gender they'd ezpz own that tournament? No, they've encouraged females into what was once a heavily male dominated sport and now there can even be mixed teams and a mixed (albeit old...which is actually more of an achievement than you'd think) audience. You'd be surprised how often the sports men watch are dominated by men, and women by women. Netball is largely played by women, and thus a large number of their audience is women. Rugby League by men, largely watched by men. Tennis is mixed, pretty mixed audience. I lottoed being not very good at starcraft, but there are special tournaments for bronze to gold players. Does that get on anyone's nerve? =D? | ||
