Let's not forget that SC2 is a business, and teams are entitled to signing players based on whatever criteria they choose, including publicity. It's often the same in pro sports, where an underachieving athlete gets a disproportionate amount of attention/$$$ because of their looks or their identity (Anna Kournikova for example, or Tiger Woods who still draws huge TV ratings despite being virtually irrelevant in the PGA).

I also don't understand why anyone would oppose the inclusion of females, even if it means signing an inferior player. As an SC2 fan, I want the game to grow, and females need role models to keep getting better and narrowing the gap. This isn't the 50s anymore, we should encourage diversity...

Never thought I'd be agreeing with TotalBiscuit about anything besides the fact that Magicka is a blast. Frankly, success is about entertainment. Sure we are all jealous that she gets the shot we don't. Happens. Life's not fair.

Hope to see some good games from her!

Isn't it your entire job to comment on what players do right and wrong (casting), even though you don't have much of an idea on how to play yourself?


It seems like running a business is not the only thing you have absolutely no idea about. My job is another.


While it is true that to run something that depends on sponsors you need hype and many people here fail to realize that, I don't think you should be so fast on judging people who have opinions about it. A better way to go about it is use your own experience and comment on how good or bad you consider this move to be from your own perspective. It is always better to give a personal opinion instead of just bash the opinions of others.


Nah I tend to find that pointing and laughing at stupid opinions is a pretty good idea when I don't want to waste my time covering ground that others have already tread in this thread. What has been worthwhile to say has been said, no need to repeat or reiterate it. Some people are too stupid to get it and no amount of posting will convince them so why waste the time?

Then why bother even making a post? Just to chime in and show off how smug you are?

It's pretty obvious they recruited a female player for publicity. It is what it is and the reactions varied.

Good luck. Never heard of her before but then again I don't care/know much about the US sc2 scene. If she quit school for sc2, then at least she has the right attitude going into this. It's practice practice practice.

Finally she is signed to a team so that she can travel around and show people that she deserves all the attention and respect she gets.
Looking forward to her games

Very humble, very mature. I'm stunned she's only 18.

If any female in the foreign community is going to move forward, I believe it to be Flo. She seems like she has reasonably thick skin which is what will help her continue.

I feel her situation is the polar opposite of Aphrodite. Aside from the fact that she lives in America. She doesn't live in a team house, she doesn't have a professional boyfriend who has been a successful pro gamer since 03.

I'm probably the hardest person to gain respect from but after this video she is on another level. She didn't reiterate the fact that Rainbow and Aphrodite watched all of her games and outright sniped her. She was proud of the 2nd place accomplishment, and looks moves forward with optimism.

I'm backing flo 100%.

How can you be so epic with each things you write TB ? HOW ? Maybe it's the hat.

Anyway i don't mind they take a "lesser player" (still she's better than maybe 95%percent of people who wrote in this thread) if she's planning to improve. Hope to see her in big tournaments or team leagues battle.

A lot of woman programmer were cute. There is a thread on TL i think about that. Just look at TossGirl for exemple (the most famous).

She may have gotten on the team over another skilled player by simply being a woman- not saying that's why she did but I'm addressing the people who think that is why, and but who cares anyway it takes skill to win tourneys and that's all that matters.

She is a high masters/gm player, she got signed and you didnt the same reason destiny got signed, popularity. She got popular cos she was Born with a vagina, destiny cos he was born with a fuck-you attitude, theres really not such a big difference. Sorry if some words came out wrong, im terrible with typing on the phone .

To chime in and point out how dumb some people are being. I suppose that could be taken as smugness, if you happen to be overly sensitive.
