Now we live easy lives in peaceful nations, while the losers live in utter hell. Imagine if you were born into a place that hadn't had such fortune, like Africa or the Middle East. We exist because the strong permitted us to do so.
I wonder if the USA or other "first world" countries will be here in 100 years, or if they will be taken over by someone stronger. Where will the world find its scholars then?

Female physical inferiority is completely different from the superior military capacity of say, the USA to other countries.
Within said society, physical prowess, while valued is hardly the most important metric for wielding power and influence, otherwise Congress would look a hell of a lot beefier than it already is.
International warfare is a field where base military strength is still the metric by which wars can be won and lost. In addition, the savagery of our collective past and presents notwithstanding, how come many of the 'strong' nations are more egalitarian in structure?
If strength and power > all, then surely those countries that have succeeded on that basis in the past, would also show the same rationale in the societal structure within their borders?

This thread is actually about a starcraft player retiring and not about international warfare...

What the fuck are you talking about? What does this have to do with Eve retiring?

Nevermind, you are pointless to argue with.
ANYWAY
Nobody else saw that Star Haeng episode but me!?

Aaanyway, back on topic, I don't think anybody should be surprised when a non-objectively valued recruit doesn't perform too well ingame.
Ladies who traffic TL, this it not who we are. Don't take him seriously.
M'lady, please let the white knight handle this. *Tips fedora*

Sorry to see you go eve. Please ignore the haters and weird sexist comments. I think that her results aside she joined and trained in a highly competitive field. In the same way I would cheer on a guy who went to the gal, tried, and failed, I'll also give a /salute to eve. Yeah Adobe got a bit more attention but really so what?

No doubt that, Eve never really panned out, but I am under qualified to say if she ever had potential.
And no problem, my white knight status is well known. Plus I had to keep it friendly, I would have been slapped down if I posted what my girlfriend was telling me to.

I don't view you as a white knight, it's a ridiculous term to mis/overuse. I'm curious to see what your girlfriend was telling you to say, PM me if my young ears can deal
Also thanks to whoever posted the video of her vs Aphrodite, the subs were nice too! Are there other Korean broadcasts which are subbed into English?

All of the Star Haeng episodes they show are subbed afaik. You can check it out on their OSL VODs page.
Eve vs Aphrodite was fun. The most recent one is JangBi vs Fantasy

This isn't an Eve fanclub. He doesn't have to make encouraging posts, he just stated his mind.

1. First girl to play in GSTL.
2. Interesting number paradox.
3. You know about her enough to have to post something like that
And anyway if results is all that matters then Stork isn't a person of note in SC2 either

Taking a single game off of someone above NA masters level would be a good start
