I remember I found out about veralynn a few weeks ago, and I was really shocked that she was grandmaster.

Why not? There is no reason that at least one girl, somewhere can make it into GM it's hardly beyond the realms of possiblity.

To the guy above worrying whether it will de-legitimise female gamers, hope that isn't the case but at the end of the day they're not really helping themselves out

Most of them have been to LANs etc. so I wouldn't worry too much about this making female gamers any less legit than they are at the moment.

There is a reason why women and men do not compete with eachother in sports... It's just nature.

Aren't women meant to be better at multitasking than men on average? And isn't Starcraft a game that appeals to such an attribute?

It seems so obvious that Veralynn is a fraud. She refuses to stream with her webcam when she plays but for everything else she's free to use her webcam? That seems so obvious and ridiculous about how many people she fooled.

Hmm yeah, maybe I am exaggerating a little bit :p, but the chances that a foreign girl makes it to grandmaster are like 1%, right?

The best part of that whole post is that he uses the phrase "lone behold". Lone. Behold.

You should see if you can get your money back.

Don't most payment methods have fraud protection that would kick in for things like this?

I had never heard of her before, but this really sucks.

And for DeathAngel, this might ruin he's SC2 pro run, one thing is if he was just leveling for her, but he has also played showmatches and won money etc of the community, thats so bad...
They must have so low moral... wtf did they want to gain of this?


Why people are only talking about DeathAngel ?
VeraLynn should be punished as well. And her case seems to be even more serious than DeathAngel's.

VeraLynn is gone. Deleted everything. Only deathangel remains to be scrutinized. You know, because he did something wrong and still didnt apologize/get shunned

Holy Hell.... Why is there so much drama in sc2? I haven't thought about Destiny's dick in more than three weeks now.

This is just sad though. I feel sorry for the z33k.tv team and all the people who put in all the hard work to build the organization.

So whats gonna happen w/ DeathAngel? Sure VeraLynn is now a fraud and is quickly losing friends/support which is flipping awesome.. But I want to know what is going to happen to DeathAngel for impersonating her? Will eSahara do anything? I hope so cause he was a douche back in BW, and it looks like he never changed.

edit: I love this drama

So it sounds to me that a girl who is bad at SC2 paid someone who is GM level to get her account / name to respectable status on ladder rank. Then used that status of being a "skilled girl" to gain exposure and start charging people for coaching and try to make money by streaming. Until now it worked, but is now finally getting exposed?

If that's the case, glad they got caught and hope they are exiled for deceiving the community.

Well just saying that "I'm 100% sure 0 other girls will make it into gm in the future" is really wrong and sexist, and proven wrong by the above statement.

If there's a reason why there are less girl gamers its because theres less talent to draw from simply because of the fact girls don't play Starcraft 2 as much as guys would.

Ain't the first girl that turns off their webcam and starts winning on ladder, that's for sure.

Just out of interest, I would like the odds on a random man making GM...

Considering that Masters is the top 2% and GM is a small portion of that, its somewhere between 0-2%
