Hey guys! If you want to argue that this tourney is "sexist" please make your own thread about it.

Are we really going to start this on page 2?

Go make a blog if you're really that enraged about it, don't shit up a tournament thread.

This should be an interesting tournament. Guess I should cheer for DaSakura! Thanks for the write up.

I think its complete bullshit and sexist for an all-female tournament. Is MLG or Dreamhack all male tournies, nope, females shouldn't get different treatment in a game because they are female, they should have to face the best of the best to become the best.


Don't watch or read about it if it bugs you so much. Maybe you can run your own tournament with a nice prize pool, invite them and 6 other top male progamers, I am sure they will join it regardless of what sexes are competing.

Oh and if you read the whole OP you would have seen this gem in there.


Q: While some of the past issues involving females in SC2 may have clued you in to some of the expected response, was it entirely what you expected? Is there anything you'd like to say to those saying this is a sexist idea, or others along the same lines?

A: I think most gamers have reflected positively upon our initiative, at least the feedback we have received has been very positive, and most people recognize what we are trying to do for the community.

I don’t understand why some people cry over one female gaming tournament, when there is still like 50 professional general tournaments, completely dominated by males, for every one female tournament. Some people are just always going to hate and go against the flow for whatever reason. The male gaming scene has had around 10 years to develop itself, but it’s not until recent years we have seen girls come in and start competing. I think these people just need to slow down and allow female gamers to adapt to competitive gaming, so they can slowly but steadily reach towards the same level as the males.

When everything comes down to it, anyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I don’t want to spend my time converting those who don’t believe in female gaming. We try to work with different ideas that can make a difference for electronic sports, and these ideas will not always work – but we are willing to put in the effort to try. If people disagree, they are free to believe what they want. I will rather spend my time focusing on the part of the community that is ready to move on.

Nice writeup Antoine, I'm actually surprised to see Laejten playing, she's also, I believe, dating Get_Right (I think its him, its one of the former Fnatic 1.6 players) who is one of the best 1.6 players in the world.

No Protoss!? Haha for some reason I've always thought females would prefer P.

I can't say I'm sad to only see Z and T though .

Will be some entertaining games !
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

Cool to see people promoting tournaments like this. Break some stereotypes about gamers as well.

I'm very excited that we as an export are promoting female players, but I'm a little disappointed that the promotional imaging has to be entirely pink, purple, and baby blue. It would be nice for this to stress the opportunity aspect and not the "omg girls" aspect.

Stephano would disapprove of your dislike towards pink. I heard he would have requested an invitation if the western team was not the blue one.

More seriously, since we're talking layout and graphism : I'm surprised that this news piece (nice write-up btw) is categorized as "community news", when it has every aspect of "featured news". Any reason behind this ? Or am I too curious ?
