hmm... Great to see females playing SC2 professionally, but giving away a golden mouse, even one that is 'fake' seems a little... ehh...

hope that she definitely takes the training seriously and becomes top tier/gstl material!

It's so cool that women are getting more and more involved in e-sports. I hope this continues and that the stigma associated with e-sports will start to disappear.

The day she gets into the GSL is the day we start referring to Rainbow as Aphrodite's boyfriend.

Wouldn't that be awesome!

(Sorta like people asking Wheat if he is miniWheat's father)

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.

Lets not forget that aphrodite gets coaching from IntoTheRainBOw, so its not like she's come from nothing by herself. I hope she does well and can inspire other girls to attempt to break into competitive play, unfortunately she'll probably end up being used to try and bring sex appeal, which is sad. High Kr masters is a good start though.

RainBOw is clearly balling, note the glasses, side cap and girlfriend who doesn't care how long he spends playing games. The pink peripherals just show that he also knows he's balling.

Interesting move. I'd love to see her qualify for Code A in a season or three; it'd certainly shake things up a lot!

Genius move by Startale. Anyone who thinks this is stupid is out of their mind. There are going to be more only female tournaments, and they will have cash prizes that are bigger than a lot of the male tournaments out there. She already won $5,000 this week and that is probably more than 90% of Startale has in the past year in tournament winnings. With her training with Startale, Rainbow, and being able to get fully brought up like any other Korean progamer will give her a massive, massive edge over every other female she will have to face in the future.

Hope to see her kick some ass at more tournaments. Can't wait to see casters get excited (Artosis going full-retard =P) at the sight of her.

I'm ethically obligated to inform you all that I will be referencing your behavior in an ethnography regarding E-Sports and gender inequalities.

But cool news.

That's so cold and probably true

Man I hope she actually goes somewhere unlike Eve....

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

im high masters and have played on kr... Diamond/ gold players are still rly bad on KR... there early game is good but anything past that is absolute fucking trash.
