Depending on her work, she'll probably be running a lot of simulations or suffering a lot of mental blocks though, so SC2 probably helps loosen things up.

WATCH OUT GUYS HIS MUM WHO HAS NO IDEA ABOUT SC2 CAN PICK A CASTER WHEN SHE HEARS ONE Rofl. That said I am intrigued, people say she's a pretty damn good caster. Are Quantic picking her up for this or what? The statement doesn't really specify what kind of role she's assuming in the organisation, does anybody know?

Aren't both significant drains on ones time?
People spend wildly different amounts of time on their PhDs. It's entirely possible she's taking a partial or total break from it to play while she can.

There are literally at least 1000 teamless players that are better at playing starcraft than her. I love how this community works. People come in and shit on people for accepting invites to teams which will make them better starcraft players. Is Maddelisk supposed to turn down the offer money, training, travel and the ability do more of something she likes doing because she had the (mis)fortune of being pretty and a woman? Its kinda unreasonable to demand that. Anyways, I wish you lots of luck Maddelisk, I hope you can continue to improve under Quantic.
I never said she shouldn't accept the invite and I definetly did not "shit on her", what's wrong with you?
The problem isn't girls accepting the invites, the problem is teams offering the invites.

Well since I'm a fan of TheStC (and oGs is no more ..) I'm following Quantic abit more now. So congratz to Maddelisk, look forward to seeing your games while in the Quantic uniform.

Lul Scarlett?

to be fair scarlett provided results before she got recruited by a good team; these girls have no results what so ever
|
good quantic, always knowing what to do, she plays very well, can get to gm europe soon if practices the amount required
|
Someone please look at the recent results of teamless Veralynn and tell me Maddelisk is a better player.
|
Yes, signing players with no results and very little potential simply because they have boobs and a nice face. Boobs + SC2 = return of ROI right? Stop trying to sell me sex. I'm not stupid. At least if you are, don't try to sugar coat it with your bullshit statements.
