This seems pretty cool. Hopefully there will be an english broadcast.
However it would be a shame if it requires the players to be in korea to join (according to the OP they do). 
Anyone with translation? Thanks in advance.

I think the nada's body thread is one of the least funny in-jokes on TL, what are you talking about

Obviously women only tournaments are silly. Here we have a sport (or game whatever you prefer) that does not require females to be as physically able as men, and still they have their own tournament? It makes no sense. What if we had an all male tournament LOL. Personally I am actually fine with having women only tournaments because I truly believe that men are superior in starcraft as well, I believe men are more competitive and is faster thinkers etc but thats just my opinion. But I know most people will say that women and men are equally as talented in sc, just that there are more men playing. So why this tournament? oh well.
But what I really dont understand is why scarlett is playing in this. She is a male to female transgender, it makes no sense that she is allowed to compete? ESPECIALLY considering she is way better than anyone else there, so the real first place is actually to the other person who gets into the final.
IDK just seems stupid.

Female-only chess leagues also only exist because female chess players generally can't compete with males.
It's like SC2, there's fewer players, therefore fewer pros at basically all levels. Judit was in the top 20 for a number of years, and basically always played vs males. On the other hand, female tournaments (and a different rating pool) helps support female chess by giving young players role models, an environment they feel safe in, an environment to grow in and so forth. The downside is, obviously, that the level of competition is not as high. Certainly the top active women (Yifan Hou and Humpy Koneru for example) can compete at a pretty high level vs men, but just not necessarily at the 2700+ level (code a vs code s, to put it in sc2 terms).
With becoming a high Grandmaster chess player, a genius IQ is practically required. Males are 8 times as likely to have a genius IQ than women, (much more likely to be retarded too). I think this is a large contributing factor of male domination in the Chess field.

Source please? And by source, I mean the study itself.

You maybe should have googled it before. This is a Korean SC streaming site, years before twitch existed.

Supposedly name comes from 'A Free Casting' according to wikipedia.
They're the biggest streaming site in South Korea, and has been around a lot longer than twitch has so the Koerans don't seem to mind the name.

Anytime anyone ever brings up females in SC2, Scarlett somehow makes it into the conversation... it is really sad.
We should call it Scarlett's Statute.

can someone fluent in korean tell me if the rules state somewhere if male-to-female-transgendered-people (sry if I slipped on the TL political correct accecptable term here, not rly my intention to offend) are allowed to participated? Or if you'd have to be born female?
I always wonder that... specially now that psychology and physiology have advanced to the point where you can be anything you want.

I read this years ago, have not been able to find the study since, would be interested myself.
That said, IQ is a mere approximation of intelligence as I consider it and not an infallible metric.

Its was found and written by Richard Lynn, a man to believes in dysgenics and eugenics and has some great statements as "due to the advance of medicine, selection against those with poor genes for health was relaxed". Every single one of this studies is widely criticized by his peers from what I can tell, right down to the way he collected data. I am not putting a lot of weight in this theory, as it sounds like a pile of shit.

Hm, that said playing devil's advocate, a lot more men in prison than women, but also a lot more men among influential geniuses.
Other explanations are available of course, especially looking at the gender divide and societal pigeonholing. It seems to be something that 'hm, makes sense' rather than being verifiable or indeed true.

It seems to be low on evidence and high on speculation. All the data collection appears to have been cited for flaws by other people in the field. It goes down the line of "Families with more children are less like to produce one with exceptional IQ," and so on. It looks like a steaming pile of non-sense written by someone who had a theory and then cherry picked the data to back it up.
