It's a freaking game there is no physical advantage for the men except them being smarter. So girls either join the normal tournaments that is open for everyone or quit. You're kidding right? This is a troll? No one really thinks this? D: | ||

The E-sports community wants to get more women involved since alot of guys are obviously really good. A way of doing that is creating tournaments for women so they don't feel threatened and also feel motivated to play competitively. When they feel comfortable to rise up to the challenge they will join regular tournaments like everybody else and with the rate SC2 is growing i see this happening in less than a year. Remember, Flo joining Quantic Gaming also inspires alot of other girls to start practicing their ass off. Edit: Congratulations Flo and i look forward to your inevitable success! | ||

D: No other of his previous 4 posts are of a trolling nature so unfortunatelly I think he's serious. I wonder how he concludes there are no physical differences while at the same time saying guys are smarter... He's basically making an argument against himself. Or it was some form of weird sarcasm/joke that I'm not getting. | ||

Yes, no I totally get the reasons behind making female tournaments and I am actually all for them as it brings publicity, money and fun to still budding sport. I just find it absolutely astounding that there are still people in this day and age that have such an attitude towards any minority, especially women, and especially in eSports which, in itself, is a minority community compared to other sports and hobbies. It makes me wonder if some people did not have attitudes thusly, would we even need female only tournaments? I just wish people would step back and look at the bigger picture. As a girl I'm quite happy to josh around with male friends and I will quite happily laugh along with 'get back in the kitchen' jokes because they're my mates and I'll counter back with a 'men can't ask for directions' remark or something. But saying men are smarter and talking about spitting on women? Thanks guys. | ||

If it was not in the real world, we would have to disallow all kinds of competitive sports for women. Because if they're gonna compete with top male players placing high in female tournaments usually isnt enough to get you anywhere. People get pissed off at this because there are thousands of better players who could've gotten the oppertunity to play for Quantic etc. And they feel that they are more deserving because of their skill. I think its a pretty smart move by Quantic though, they'll get a lot of publicity from aquiring Flo - and if she becomes good enough to compete with top foreigners she's gonna be batshit famous | ||

It's not controversial at all for a real world sports team to aquire young unproven players based on both their potential and markability. The whole there are *insert a big number* of players better than her is a weak argument. Also from a business pov it also makes sense as long as there exists female only tournaments as it's a market that you can't really tap into unless you actually have a female on the team (like the tournaments or not). | ||

this young lady and many others the wish to compete in sc2. Like in many other sports Such as football, basketball, and other olympic sport and so on and so on. there's a gender distribution. if u consider starcraft a sport, why no do that here aswell? I'll tell ya why. Because there's not enough female players...to make a competative team. Hence the integration amongst female and male Esport players. But...females in the gaming industry are infirior to males... well wrong! they just started entering Esport when they found out barbies are no longer fun. give it 2-3 years... And i promise you... there will be a female that will take a major title! | ||
