Zowie and other sponsors are planning on running more high-priced female tournaments. Winning a female tournament with a $5,000 prize is the same as one of your male members winning MLG. Getting a female and training her to battle the other females, having a leg up on most, is a great idea. | ||

If she was playing SC2 since release, I'd imagine she can make it to Code A at least. | ||

She'll practice at home as many players do. | ||

Stop spouting bullshit. GL to her! Agree. There is no inherent biological advantage for males in gaming. Cultural and societal pressures make it seem like girls are "worse" than guys at games because so few of them play SC let alone pursue pro-gaming. The cold hard fact is she is high masters in Korea, something many foreigner pros would struggle to attain. It's pretty exciting to see SC2 generating a healthy female player base. | ||

Stop spouting bullshit. GL to her! That would actually hold true in a 1998 game. But SC2 is different. There is a 2010 WCG video of a white man (infernal) frantically trying to keep up with his opponent until he eventually cracks under pressure. His opponent is all relaxed ( most likely looked like a joke to him ) and is so much ahead of him in expansions within 10minutes of the game. | ||

She'll practice at home as many players do.

Also, I think as more women get involved in sc2 at the professional level they will inspire more and more women to really buckle down and work to become pro gamers themselves. Heck, even just seeing the recent influx of female recruits was enough to get me to start up sc2 and do a few ladder matches even though I haven't played in months and usually just love to watch. It may be a few years until we see significant numbers of progaming women competing at the same level as male pro gamers but I think it will happen eventually. | ||

You have to consider the cyber bullying aspect of esports. Since the internet is the medium, and all fans can give their opinions anonymously, they at times are very harsh and uncivilized. Public females are subject to all sorts of chauvinism and objectification on the internet. In the case of esports, Lindsey from NASL is the prime example. Even in this thread, I would say a good 25% of the comments mention her appearance. A good portion of those are saying they are only glad she has been signed because she is hot (see the post above this one). Imagine what these comments would be if an unattractive female was signed by a high-profile team. Progamers with sudden fame aren't exactly the types to be used to publicity and prepared to handle the criticism. And more than one progamer has admitted to reading all the comments about them on the forums that they can find. | ||

You have to consider the cyber bullying aspect of esports. Since the internet is the medium, and all fans can give their opinions anonymously, they at times are very harsh and uncivilized. Public females are subject to all sorts of chauvinism and objectification on the internet. In the case of esports, Lindsey from NASL is the prime example.

It completely sucks to be a woman on the internet a lot of the time. In the case of being a woman progamer specifically, people react in a variety of ways; they get outraged and assume that the woman was only signed BECAUSE she was a a woman, they comment on their appearance, or they make some other sort of rude comment about them. They're assumed to be bad players, only signed as publicity stunts, and they are completely and totally objectified. Only when they prove themselves to be really good players does this tsunami of sexism even begin to subside. If they can see past all of this, and only care about the positive things that people say, or use the sexism as motivation for them to improve, then they can be progamers. But getting into it is a scary thing. | ||

And why do you automatically assume that when no one from oGs has said anything implying it? | ||

The only reason most asians would avoid meat is if they couldn't afford it. Vegetarians make up a small minority of Westerners. Most Westerners consume large amounts of animal products. You do know that Asians eat far less meat than white people out of habit right? East Asian cuisine is very light on meat on average compared to Western cuisine. Most dishes treat meat more like a garnish or a side dish as opposed to the western mentality of treating meat as the main dish. | ||
