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

All tournaments are marketing lol. You think all these companies sponsor tournaments because they just love giving money to gamers so much.
If a company decides that they can get better return on their investment by running a female only tournament then fair play to them, we'll just have to wait and see if they were right or not by looking at the stream counts.

Ahh, these threads always bring out the "equality" sexists, completely blind to the social context of female-only tournaments. No doubt, they would raise the same objections to affirmative action in college acceptance too, as they live in a world where everyone has the same opportunities and experience. "Work harder!," they intone, assuming laziness must be the issue, or implying some base inequality that must be accepted.
Hopefully most of these people are still in high school or college, and still have an opportunity to take a sociology class or two. StarCraft may seem like a meritocracy at a quick glance, but it's a deeply flawed one, where equal talent may not have the opportunity for equal results. I'd guess the casual sexism of the community is a large enough barrier to drive most women away. This is an attempt to make space. I wish it all the best.

Also, 10,000 USD prize pool?! Impressive!

How can they if it's a female only tournament?

The circle jerk is already too deep for "facts" and "proof" to be brought into this.

Can't say I've ever heard of any of these players, but I'm looking forward to seeing the skill level of this. Also, big ups for promoting female gamers! :>
|
This is great for the community, so happy this is going on!
|
never heard of any of those players :| i dont care if a player is a female or male aslong as i get entertaining matches to spectate. good luck to the participants (someone of them have to do a TLO pls, retardedly hillarious gameplay is my favourite).

I'm obviously biased but props to ZOWIE for running a ballsy tournament like this and backing it up with $10,000. With any tournament you can't appease everyone, however, I'm looking forward to all future improved upon events (all female and all co-ed) from them.
Also I haven't seen it mentioned by anyone but all the players were given free travel and lodging from what I've heard as not many tournaments offer this and reason why if you're a player getting sponsored by an organization to pay for your airplane ticket and hotel to attend events is so obviously vital. Not saying this one factor determines what makes a tournament "good" or not but definitely deserves some respect.
More properly managed Starcraft 2 events only makes OUR entire scene (read: e-sports!) bigger. My 2 cents.

Pretty sad to see its only a 6 player tourney... but i guess the travel to china is a big barrier to overcome. I would've love to see Aurora from PMS play there, as well as Megumixbear, and im sure from all around the world a lot more high masters, grandmaster female players could've completed at least a Ro16.
Or definitely consider a qualifier for the next one, so the female players that are not very known can show up and give us more games. Great games is what the viewership is wanting in every tournament.
Here is hoping for some great games at least and Congratulations to the invitees. GL HF you all!

In the interview with ZOWIE more DIVINA tournaments (at least) were promised and on her stream Megumixbear said she had to politely decline due to work unfortunately.
Anywho looking forward to some good SC2 matches as a whole. GL HF for sure!

I don't get the shitstorm about this being female-only. I remember back before SC2 there were a lot of tournaments that refused Koreans (including TSL, I think) and I don't recall it raising a ton of racism complaints. But then again, I didn't read a lot of the posts back then, only came for the match schedules  .
