She plays Starcraft like everyone else here. She is better than most of the posters here.. Bad move for E-Sports? Picture thousands of nerds throwing love for her when she does prove herself. Picture the nerd stereotype of video games flying straight out the window when Quantic's newest pick up delivers. For fuck sake we're mostly guys here - don't be fucking wusses and give the woman some props! Merry Christmas It's Hollywood with their Jackie Robinson stories. These days, no member of any minority is allowed to pioneer in any field of human endeavor unless they are the best of the field. Otherwise, they got in because they are black. Anyway, congrats to Flo. | ||

But as I see it Destiny got his spot because he's a popular streamer yet I don't see this hate. Now, if people are thinking they deserve to be on a premier team because of their Starcraft skills alone (Ladder Ranking or whatever) they'll have to realize they do need some sort of appeal. Popular streamer? Attractive Female? I works for a team and e-sports. So again quit being wusses. I know it probably feels like high school politics but you do have the opportunity to wear some cool shades next time you play. | ||

No, people are "hating" because she gets special treatment with joining teams because she's a girl, if she was male at that skill level then Quantic would never pick her up. | ||

She seems like a good person, but the interview was a bit too awkward for me. most of the questions were like 'ur a gurl and u play video games, tell me about that.' Made worse by the fact that flo was so sick she couldn't even talk without choking on herself | ||

All the haters out there are kinda amusing ... if you really think YOU are a better player and "deserve" to be on a team, go out there, compete in every tournament, get well known and PROVE you have the skill, the determination and the marketability to deserve to be on a team. Sitting in your office chair and QQing about someone else's success will get you nowhere. Also, there may be lots of good players out there, but most don't have the drive to strive to become progamers ... and are not willing to put enough hours in. Flo, obviously, is. | ||

This would be a good point, but what has she done to prove that she has skill and determination? | ||

Pretty big assumption and blanket statement insinuating that the people posting in this thread don't know how to run a business. Also, to take that point further, you must think "a bunch of people" are pretty stupid considering business is the easiest major to consider at the college level. And I'm sure, as you always do, you'll say, "Oh I meant this or that." So let me demonstrate how its done TB. You want to say exactly what you mean and not insult random passersby. All I see here is you telling the majority of us, odds are some posters probably much more skilled than Flo, but because they are male, which is a dime a dozen in the gaming world, their skill doesn't matter as much as a somewhat attractive female that got knocked out first round MLG. We are, for the most part, making advances past men making 1/3 more per dollar than women in the work place. So I don't see a need to give some girls a better shot on a team than someone else who is more skilled. Keep in mind, she's being recruited as a player. Tell me again why should we care about Flo? Because she advanced 2 stages in the Losers bracket @ MLG? TBH I'm quite tired of some women getting attention they don't deserve in the SC2 community. Like Kelly Milkies for example who shows great disrespect in public events along side other casters. And as long as we're there, why doesn't Megumixbear get more attention? She's attended MLG's, she puts together tournaments on her own (and casts them), and plays vs. GM practice partners often on streams. I think she's more deserving than Flo by far, and gives more back to the community, so what seperates them? The fact that Kelly appeared on Maxim? | ||

You don't get on a team because you deserve it, you get on a team because the team wants you. It is their own fucking business who they want on a team. How do you measure "deserve" by the way? Can you accumulate them? How much must you deserve to get promoted to team EG or TeamLiquid. Does EG have higher deserve than EG? | ||

Does EG have higher deserve than EG? How I personally would measure how much one person deserves a spot on a team vs another player by performance. And I don't think its ridiculous to talk about it based on the arguments I have already stated above. However, talking about EG vs. Liquid is really off topic and unrelated. | ||
