I'm wondering if it would be unthinkable for a team to sign up a male of comparable skill. It's almost like the Divina cup was reduced in prestige now that the winner scored a place in a team. | ||

If they want to sign a bronze player for some reason it's their business not ours | ||

As to the rest of the thread... You wonder why females may be less inclined to want to become progamers? Read back through the thread... a lot of the negatives are quite apparent. (Focus on appearance, belief that appearance for female gamers is better than skill, disbelief that a female's skill could be the primary factor, and then the normal claims about skill by people she could probably beat most of the time on the ladder.) And if a female is both attractive and wants to be a progamer? Imagine the reaction when she tries to navigate the open bracket pits at an MLG - "Hey, you're Rainbow's girlfriend?! Lucky!" And of course dodging the nerd drool from people that want to put her on a pedestal because she is both a female and a SC2 player. It's not exactly a welcoming environment, because it's always about someone being a woman first, and any potential skill or gaming ability second. Let's wait and see how she performs - and I hope ST does help her improve and lets her compete. Oh, and Huk said back a few pages that he thinks she can play. Not a bad endorsement. Let's see what comes next. (And have to say, about the keyboards - is anyone really surprised a guy named Rainbow is using a hot pink keyboard? Obviously your narrow views on proper gender color schemes don't matter to him. He just fights on and lets the haters hate while he's busy playing.) | ||

She won't be used competitively, its the exact same thing as Eve. A tie to the team (girlfriend of rainbow, Eve mentored by Boxers GF), plus a result in a female tourney. It isn't like she won a major tourney. I couldn't ignore this, she won a tournemant unlike her counterpart Eve. It's a masters level tournament, that's not too bad considering she's just starting out. | ||

One also has to mention that one player at the tournament was grandmaster (Colagirl) and Aphrodite won against her. | ||

Incontrol is a more valuable member to EG than Axslav even though their results are pretty similar.. | ||
