I like looking at hot women. I also enjoy listening to them. She's not a commentator, she's a host.

What exactly is your problem?

Yeah let's limit the group of models that want to work in gaming further...


id rather work with a limited but concentrated and included model group than a wide one without any focus. i dont want some pamela anderson wanna be derping around premier tournaments being awkward n shit.


Please, please tell me somebody else heard Lauren Elise say she hoped there "weren't midgets walking around" because she was wearing a dress...

Im not adressing you specifically, and that you like attractive women is not relevant I was wondering about other peoples views on what I wrote about. In my original post and some of the answers I have explained what "my" problem is, or what I think IS a problem. (Note: what I think is a problem, it is my own opinion)

I dont understand the issue. I was at the event and in no way did her lack of starcraft knowledge impede with what she did. She was a model for the NASL event, she helped hand out prizes and lead players to their booths. She was perfectly qualified for what she did.

How come you arn't ripping on other senseless things? What about the cameraman that was at NASL. He did not look like he knew anything about starcraft. What about the truck drivers that drove all the equipment up? Hmmm.... sounds like NASL had a lot of unqualified people helping run the show.

If your issue has to do with the social implications of having women objectified in front of thousands of viewers then you are posting on the wrong forum. Every industry does it and although that is a more debatable issue, it only goes in circles. Quite frankly, if they had an unattractive girl or a dude do the same thing as what Lauren was doing, I would of thought NASL was such an unprofessional organization.


This post wins the thread. Completely agree. There are things that come as natural. Sweeping majority of audience are male. Hiring a female as assistance person is nothing wrong. Nothing at all. She is working such jobs, and do them well.

Is the cameraman or the truck drivers up for public display?

I know the majority are male people, as I wrote in the original post. I also said that I understand why it feels natural, but I question the choice anyway and ask for others opinion.

So know I know your opinion, thank you very much

Ye but your "problem" if i understood it correctly is:

1) Don't we need people with understanding off the game? Imo, no cause she wasn't casting as far as i know (correct me if im wrong)

2) Does this send a bad message? Using attractive people to host events is pretty normal and i don't see a problem with this. Besides, ur assuming she was chosen because of her looks and not because she seemed to be a decent host. Maybe the confidence she gains from her looks is a key part in her being a good host?

When I first read the title I thought it said "How to prevent females from the StarCraft II community". Haha.

However, the points you bring up are no different than typical, everyday sexism that goes on in society. Video games in general is very male dominated activity. Hiring attractive women as the host of an event happens in every televised show, broadcast, stream, etc. They are simply appealing to their target market.

It sounds like you're arguing that you want more male hosts for these types of events over female hosts. To me it sounds like such a trivial thing to really debate. Why does it matter whether or not the host of the event has a penis or a vagina? I'm not there to gauge their sex; I'm there to watch StarCraft.

I have to say that the hostess is really pretty and is blonde which is a "Yes" for me . I think having more eye candy at event and watching the games live at the same time is going to make the event more exciting and I see no reason this will humiliate the image of how "female" is potrayed in a event like this .

When people hand out items, the camera shows the one who hands them out. It doesnt mean they have to be proffesionals. Do the people at tennis court that gather the balls also are also required to be proffesionals? They get screen time too. What are requirements for that? They must take the ball as soon as they can, so the pros can carry on. Yes she got some live mic time, but does it matter? Also for the notice, sure she didnt know anything about starcraft before (just a guess), but she tried to learn something, and did what research she could before the show. You dont need to close the door before people enter, because it is possible that in the future she might be much much more knowledgeable and more engaged with starcraft. But if not, she just did her job, thats all.
If the she didnt talk at all, well that would be a problem, dont you think? Silent female handing out items.

This thread is silly.

I will contribute by saying we need Megumixbear to clone herself and host every event.

I don't really care either way. I never pay attention when there isn't a game on and mute the stream if the casters are being annoying, so I can't see any way that the way a female is presented could get on my nerves...

To be blunt, her problem is that she's a starcraft girl-gamer, and she's pissed that another women who doesn't really care for the game gets attention just because she's hot, she feels that's unfair to her but she knows that she can't just say what she really feels.
