Prize money shouldn't be used as a qualifier for skill. 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.

You can make money in girl-only tournaments and it's much easier.

Edit: much, much, much easier.

all of her won money ($3000) was for taking 2nd in an all girl 6 player invite tournament, hardly qualifiers her as 'legit'.


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.


The mocking tone of your post legitimizes it. Also, had you done your research, you would have known that Flo is quite good at sc2; she's done well in the MLG open bracket more than once. True, like Destiny and numerous other players, Flo wasn't recruited to an A class team for her raw skill but because of her marketability in combo with that. That doesn't mean she's bad at sc, however.


Shes never done well in the open bracket. Results at MLG are ;
Anaheim Losers round 3.
Raleigh Losers round 3.
Orlando Losers round 4(Possibly? 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.

Best of luck to her and Quantic! Definitely gonna keep rooting for both!

Gotta say, her old name of "PMS.flo" is the funniest name ever though

What league/rank is she on ladder?

Here we go. Do you ask this for every pro that gets signed by a team? Didn't think so.


Is every female pro who gets signed by a team grand master? No. He has reason to ask, given the history of female SC2 players on teams.

Please, be realistic. 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.

No it's not, and no it's not.

This is not a team picking up a Gold league player because she's female. 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.

I haven't seen her play that much, so I'm terribly sorry if I'm wrong.

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.

Congrats to Flo and Quantic!

Just because she's on Quantic, doesn't mean she's getting the same kinda salary as the other players. If she's even getting a salary. Teams don't pay all players equally, so people shouldn't be getting worked up over her being undeserving or whatever.
