This thread is not for discussion about which tournaments Scarlett is allowed to play in or not. Moderation regarding such in this thread will be less lenient from now on. -semioldguy (p.22) | ||

What do you mean by uneducated opinion? I didn't ask you to comment on my post so why did you? Seems strange you do things just as you feel like it and that can't be OK since you so angry when others do so. If you read the last few pages it's been talk about female only tournaments so I put my opinion and will keep doing so even if you get upset like a Twilight fangirl. | ||

I'd like to think of female tournaments as a different league. Empirically, women are worse than men in Starcraft (lets ignore the debate about whether Scarlett is truly a female mentally or not, just a different can of worms. I'm going to pretend that Scarlett doesn't exist in my discussion, because the true neuroscience of transsexuals isn't something completely understood, and I don't want to draw conclusions for or against it.). This is proven by the fact that there are no females in the absolute top tier. Tossgirl was relevant, but she only has a few exceptional results to her name. Otherwise, you see and saw no females playing in the MSL, OSL, PL, GSL et al. and definitely don't stay relevant if one does pop up (which only Tossgirl really qualifies as). So, if you take this empirical data, you can conclude that women under-perform in Starcraft. I don't know why this is, nor is it relevant to my discussion, fact is, it is just so. So I like to think of female tournaments as say a "Masters-only league". If you allowed MC, Flash or IdrA to join these tournaments, they'd crush any female gamer 9/10 of the times. So if you want females to compete and have a chance, the data shows you can't put them against males, or they'll lose; so, just have them face each other exclusively. So back to Scarlett: she's fucking good. She's on the level of Koreans. So what happens if you allow her into a female tournament? You can bet your sweet money that she'll be 1st in 98% of them: unless she loses to cheese for whatever reason. So then, once again, you have the issue where all the competition is crushed and the women participating here don't have a chance to place 1st. So, you kinda lose the purpose of separating women due to their historical and empirical under-performance respective to men. This is ignoring the fact Scarlett probably can't be bothered joining these tournaments any more because she's just so next-level, but that's another story. All in all, people should just be wishing Scarlett a good physical recovery, something which must surely be independent from whether she's truly a guy or a girl neurologically. | ||

Look at all tournaments. There isn't a single woman (again, I'm ignoring Scarlett because I don't want to poke that bear) in there with results. So, going in it with a completely blind POV, women are worse than men, because data shows that women don't get results in comparison to men. Why? I don't know. Is there a reason? Perhaps. Do I know the answers to those questions? God no. Quick addition: I haven't performed a study on this, nor am I an expert on gender differential neurology, so I won't presume that I know what causes a gender-bias in eSports, but it is evident by looking at tournaments in any game, that men dominate it. | ||

Thing is though you are posting on a public forum you don't need to ask for people to give their opinion, this thread is not about female only tournaments. It is about Scarlett taking a break from sc2 , so calm your tits. | ||

Still this opinion is rather sexist and doesn't belong on this forum , no one needs to see this . You can say that you are not an expert and feign ignorance on it but the truth is there is no need for this discussion especially in this thread. | ||

The point still stands that a trans woman or man that really want to can participate in this. | ||
