I don't even have a clue at how much she was practicing.. GL in the future Eve Eve was training as a real SlayerS player, IIRC, though she never had the results of guys like MMA or Puzzle. She wasn't actually a bad player though, she was high masters I think. Good luck to her in all her future endeavors  . | ||

It's almost like they make it out to be a bad or a good thing, where personally I think both cases aren't even relevant. Makes me feel like after the "nation" talk is over, sex will be the next thing "where are all the women casters"? All seems arbitrary to me. Not the first time people have talked about a group being underrepresented. I laughed. Nice! | ||

Like SlayerS Jessica said at the time, Eve was picked up because she was a girl, being good looking etc. The announcement mentioned her skills and look, but they would not have recruted Eve if she was a man, there are a ton of male master players in Korea that have the same (and better) skill level. Eve was like a marketing icon / Representative figure for the SlayerS team. For now, not enough female gamers are playing hard enough (not as hard as the majority of male gamers) to see a female pro gamer dominating in the current SC2 scene. Flo and Maddelisk seem to be real competitive gamers, I hope they'll be inspire many master female players to try harder and reach the pro level. Being a pro in Starcraft 2 requires many things, but being good looking won't lead you anywhere if you want to be respected as a competitive gamer. | ||

Anyway I totally understand the reason that there aren't more female progamers. They don't take it as seriously as you have to in order to be competitive. Probably because they're a lot smarter than men are in that regard. The chances of having a successful competitive gaming career are about the same as winning one of the smaller lotteries. Really if you want to take that chance, that's your business, but it's never a sound financial strategy. It's very much the dream of young boys, which is probably why most eSports stars are ... young boys. | ||
