If Slasher and I had a show match hosted by MLG for $5,000,000 it would make us the highest earning players on the planet - and still 2 bronze league dummies. Context, is important. | ||

TL says flo but also says protoss so not sure if its a mistake) Providence Losers round 3. She's always been able to beat several people in the LB though, and frequently gets taken out by bigger names such as State, WhiteRa, Trimaster, and Jinro. | ||

A lot of teams realize that it's a good publicity stunt, and in some cases (as we have seen in the past) they will pick up less skilled players who are female. You don't ever see players of that skill level get picked up who are male. Exactly It's good to see a girl who can finally compete at a high level enter the foreign scene. GL Flo | ||

Being put out in round 3 almost always means winning 1 game and losing 2 in the tournament(Nearly everyone gets places in losers round 2 after being put out of winners round 1). Also theres lots of players who are plat/diamond who are playing for fun and lose first round winners and are placed in round 2 losers so beating any of them is hardly an achievement. Edit: Id like to also mention that im for this signing for QxG but I was just pointing out to the person who said that flo had made a few good runs through MLG that, that wasn't true. | ||

This is a top competitive team picking up THE BEST (arguably) female player. She has been around the scene for ages as well. This is good for eSports. I can't possibly see how it would be bad. | ||

Take away invitationals and it is a pretty darn good one. Atleast it should be. | ||

But when she says she doesnt want to be recruited just cause she's a girl, its weird. I doubt she is infact the best choice for Quantic. Isn't it really obvious that the fact she's a girl plays a huge role in why Quantic chose to sign her? I am not saying that looking at gender when recruiting is wrong, I just find it silly that anyone would believe her gender was not a big reason. | ||
