Right now the number of females who take playing / improving very seriously is probably pretty low, so the field for female gamers is wide-open for someone to take it. | ||

I think that what is essential positive discrimination or how some people word it 'token girls' is damaging. I think this in fact promotes and reinforces the already rather strong sexism in the scene. Some ones gender should not even be considered... I would not expect to recieve an email at work saying 'Publicity department has a new member of staff (she is a girl)' because that would be ridiculous. I just think if she is a really talented player who does well in tournaments etc her gender is neither important or relevant. However if she is bad (as some people here are suggesting) then putting her on the team is a publicity stunt and is damaging. I cringed when I saw the thread title "girl player". (it's sexist) | ||

Calling her a team mascot really isn't that much off from the truth in my opinion. The only other use for her that I can see is if girls-only league is going to be created in which case picking up a female player is a good idea. But I highly doubt it. An being on a pro team with really good practice partners wont help her improve at all which in turn would reverse that negitive win/loss ratio at all? I think you're assuming quite alot here man cause it does take a good amount of skill to get into masters/gm league (unless you cheese the whole way which I havnt seen or heard of too much) so the definate raw skills are likely there. She might just need some help smoothing out the rough edges that are potentially losing her games. Which being on a team has the very high chance of doing thus in turn making her a far better player then she was entering into the team. So really all iv gotta say is just dont assume anything really cause things have a good chance of changing rather drastically. | ||

Girl gets/does something eSports related. Bunch of guys bring up "it's only because she is an attractive female." Bunch of guys defend her by showing that other people are worse, do worse or she is legit. Several pages of this goes back and forth. If we could just be happy for her and the opportunity it'd be great. Unrealistic but great. "BUT INCONTROL, A MORE DESERVING MALE COULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT SPOT! It isn't right that she gets stuff because she is a girl!" I then make the argument about marketing, the real world blah blah blah... someday maybe. | ||

Congrats and i hope she does eSahara justice!

It is degrading female players, not helping them. Quoting posts that are after mine ftw. How is it in any way degrading to post a picture of the person you just added to your team? I can promise you, look up another similar thread for another team and you'll definitely see a picture. | ||
