Wait until we have more results until we can judge to see if she is good enough. Meanwhile congrats to both parties. What community are you referring too? It can't be the TL one because that hasn't been polite or good for a very very long time. I also like all the keyboard warriors who crawl out of their bushes to bash on someone, it's quite funny... retarded, but funny. | ||

It seems a bit premature to add a female to a major team at this point. It depends on a team's philosophy on how to develop its players. EG has been criticized for not doing anything to develop up and coming talent and only interested in picking up "big names." So damned if you do, damned if you don't am I right? Good luck to Flo and Quantic. Hope everything works out for them. | ||

Yeah, they get more attention than a corresponding male counterpart - but that doesnt mean it makes sense for teams to pick em up. A corresponding male counterpart in this case would be a high masters player. How much attention does a normal high masters male get? None. So yeah, she gets more attention than none, but still nowhere near the attention a well performing male progamer gets. Ofc it depends on the investment made. Most likely she gets a tiny fraction of what the male players get. | ||

I see a load of reddit topics when Naniwa streams, Day9 daily is running, KSL, Artosis streaming and so on. I can't recall any topics about Flo or any other female gamers. Same goes for viewer numbers, does she come close to Destiny or other popular viewers? It makes sense if they want to support females but claiming they get more attention - I doubt that. | ||

Well, first you make a horrible comparison: Naniwa or others mentioned are no corresponding male counterparts to Flo. So its totaly invalid. Second, there are quite a few topics about female gamers, their streaming threads have quite a few posts. Third. Destiny is among the top5 streamer favourites id say. Do you think that is a matching comparison either ? You cant seriously deny that Flo or Julia get way more attention than some random male master player ? Corresponding to your sig: Try harder. | ||

I doubt she gives a rat's ass what they say as long as she's happy with her name. | ||

Completely ignore the key word "corresponding" and claim he was trying to compare Flo to Day9, Artosis, Naniwa, and Destiny. LOL gotta love the arguments in female gamer threads. | ||
