So jealous of Rainbow right now...

both for his girlfriend and his keyboard.

GL to her, female gamers in general, and Startale!

that's cool.

good for her.

Aphrodite gets to join Startale and Rainbow gets to play bomber in round 1 of code A. i think its safe to say aphrodite is feeling better atm than Rainbow.

Really cool to see more girls into the pro scene (and hopefully not all just for their looks). Hopefully more will emerge with time!

I don't want to put anyone down, but my friend ran into (T)Flo in the open bracket at Orlando. She wasn't too impressive and he 2-0ed her fairly easily. He is high masters, just about into grandmasters league NA. If she can get into the finals of a SC2 Woman's tournament it means Women still have a long way to go to close the skill gap.

Heh please tell me their keyboards and headsets are switched. Unless Rainbow likes that color scheme. She'll be ballin hard with a pink keyboard/headset and a golden mouse though. Grats nonetheless to her.

Until a female competes at the top level of anything adding a female to a team would be seen as a publicity stunt.

Not trolling just the truth.

it means Women still have a long way to go to close the skill gap.

Remember this is different to SlayerS recruitment of Eve however - Aphrodite had already proven herself to be a good player before she got the invitation to join StarTale.


And this is quite wrong/subjective. Eve won a female tournament, even if she was only in Diamond.


Well Aphrodite is Korean Masters not Diamond, so she should be objectively better than Eve.

Mind you, that was a long time ago. I wouldn't be surprised if she's top masters by now training with slayers team and all.

in my mind she is the first girl to join a pro team :-). who knows, she might be sc2's first equivalent of tossgirl (but terran ofc)!

good news


tossgirl plays terran you know right?


I believe that when TossGirl switched over to SC2 she changed her main race to Zerg. Will attempt to find article.

Ah search bar, my good friend you did it again.

Yes but the tournament that Eve won was described merely as an 'amateur tournament.' I'm skeptical of the skill of the players involved. Jessica also said Eve was recruited based on looks as well as skill.

Aphrodite played well in the DIVINA invitational (some decision making issues day 1, but she fixed a lot of that on the finals day) and beat some good players to win (Colagirl, flo). I think she's proven herself far more than Eve has.


Oh yeah nevermind, she was gold when she won the tourny and then diamond later on right? I was thinking if she was in at least diamond when she won then that would be like the equivalent of winning a masters tourny, since flo on NA is only high master right? and i do agree picking partly on looks (or rather, mentioning that o.o) also takes away from Eve

No wonder Rainbow's not dominating. If I were him I would spend all my practice time humping like rabbits.

Eve's competition is heating up! Congrats to her and Startale!
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞
