the same can be said for destiny and incontrol, so you think eg and quantic need to kick them? It is because the existence of people like you that makes getting into esports hard for females.

Yeah let's compare a female player to a bum off the street. Great start there
When Eve got signed she wasn't that good and we all know that. So maybe she's not ready yet to have good results?
Take Aphrodite who is the other female player on Startale. She won that female only tournament in China and won some showmatches and clan wars. That might not be a win in the GSL or whatever, but as you can see, a female in a team can be a good thing

Cute yo. Still, I wonder just what she brings to the team in terms of skill. All it said was she used to a pro in WC3, says nothing of what league she is in. I don't think she has ever entered any SC2 tournaments yet either so it's kind of a mystery. I mean, Eve has been in Slayers for awhile now and I still haven't heard anything about her, I wonder if the teams just end up wasting money trying to mold these girls into SC2 machines :S
|
Well this should be interesting. I'm pretty sure Startale didn't just pick her up for the publicity like some other teams might have with their girls, which means she has a ton of potential. I wonder how good she'll be come the end of the year.

if she performs good she will give the term "misS micro" a new meaning... and tons of oppurtunity for casters to do awesome play of words.
misS click, misS micro, misS management ...
can't wait to try out the legendary misS build...

You send a male disguised in female to "only female" tournament ? According to Rainbow and STcoach (who are not random people), she has potential and talent. So, we'll see if she can improve and do really well when training/playing full time.
Besides, using your words, there are also "mediocre males getting signed when there are better (fe?)male players still waiting for a contract".

now they need 2 pink keyboards

Best of luck to her. She's going to be harshly criticised around these forums. Until females start putting up results against their male counterparts it will continue. This was probably a move on Startale's part to move into the Chinese scene (maybe alliance with a chinese team?). She will be hepful promoting Startale in China. Unknown at the moment if she's even moving to South Korea. I respect that she's leaving a comfortable job to chase her dream.

I am a creeper. ALL asian girls look good, why I havent moved there is just... why..
Very cool with a female gamer in ST!
|
is there at least one girl in professional scene who is not cute?
|
Wish her the best of luck. Would really like to see one of these female pick-ups have a break out at a major tournament.
|
i cant find her race in this article... am i just missing it?
cool that the female scene is getting up there hope we're gonna see her in some gstl or gsl somtimes
|
Don't be deceived guys, makeup is the only thing separating the illusion of cuteness and the horrible reality that is asian girls. They'll smack you into line.
On topic though, this does show promise. I hope all the best for her.
|
2 girls on StarTale? What good news. Aphrodite going to be happy with a new practice partner :D
|
ok... fine... i guess shes terran and what league, diamond? low masters? ... sex sells, in reallife and in e sports.
|
Why don't they pickup some normal looking girls. This one is too pretty.

Why are you so shure? She's a celebrity in China so at this time the most likely scenario is that they are signing her for publicity in China.

Because normal looking girls don't give you much attention. When one of these teams signs a girls that's physically ugly I may believe them that they are actually signing her for her skills.

Awesome! More females for e-sports please! Also, I can´t help but notice that she is very attractive, nice bonus on top of being a skilled player. Looking forward to her first appearance as a Startale player.

inb4 fanclub ?
On a serious note good luck to her!
|
Good to see more female gamers getting signed
