I don't really care that teams pick up girls for whatever value they think they bring but let's not pretend she's being picked up because of her starcraft skillz. | ||

Also, no one seems to notice that this means she doesn't have the awesome name PMS.Flo. | ||

She isn't some random diamond player. thats true, but shes not even remotely close to being on par with the rest of the team another joke of a recruitment, no offense to flo. teams who recruit simply for publicity are sell outs | ||

I don't really care that teams pick up girls for whatever value they think they bring but let's not pretend she's being picked up because of her starcraft skillz. sc2earnings doesn't take regionals into account. She's from the SoCal area and has been consistent in the regional tournaments here. Yes, she can kick guys' ass in "real" tournaments too. | ||

It's a pretty reasonable question, and it's not like it's hard to find out. I'm curious about it as well. Every other pro is gm level so it's not really asked. Congrats to Quantic and Flo! | ||

The same comment can be made whenever a team picks up a foreigner over many more skilled Koreans without teams (this applies to most foreign teams' lower half of their roster). She is picked due to her SC skillz relative to the scene in which she primarily competes (the female scene). In addition she may be good PR and give exposure to the team (just like foreigners often are good PR compared to Koreans as they speak English well and show a lot of personality). | ||

Flo fighting! yeah, i dont think she is on the level of most pro gamers, even destiny, but she is probably at or near the GM level and could kick some serious ass in smaller competitions. But with the training quantic provides, who knows how far she will go ? | ||
