well this is awkward.................

Don't worry, the majority of the community is pumped your on the team. The minority are just having the debate that always happens when female gamers come up. It's the standard "she's a girl and there are boys that are better than her in my opinion. Why you no pick them up?!?"

Sometimes the community forgets that girls are dope and more girls in the community makes everything better.


It's not about girls lol It's hard to not debate/get worked up when something happens that shows that foreign Starcraft is still quite a long ways from becoming something more legitimate. The day when popularity is not more lucrative than skill is a day I look forward to, and a day I really hope comes. Gender is meaningless to me.

All I see in this thread is a bunch of "I don't think she should have gotten the slot and only get it because she is a lady," masked behind arguments of how evolved the scene is in NA. This discuss would not exist she was a male player of the same skill. Everyone would just say that it's awesome Root is investing in rising talent.

And it's does change the fact the female players are dope and the cut off for them being accepted into the scene should be "smash at least 4 code S Korean players to over come the questions caused by your gender"

I don't think anyone would support a team picking up a mid masters player as part of their roster.

Sure they would if the team said the player "has a lot if potential and will greatly improve with the practice our team provides." It's not like Xenocider was ripping up the NA ladder and crushing faces before RG signed him.

He was top 50 gm NA, and is 16 years old. You should know that's an awful example.

No, this is what people who don't care about the game want to see. The rest of us? We want to watch the actual game.


The NA scene was always built on personalities and storylines. If you wanted to watch SC2 purely for the game you ignored the foreign scene and only watched GSL + big international events. And for most people there needs to be a combination of storyline and impressive gameplay.

If teams are picking up foreigners with mediocre results instead of getting a korean who is flatout better than them and probably even demands a lot less it is good, but if they pick up a girl instead of a guy its problematic ?
Please stop this bullshit, going by this logic 90% of the foreigners would be teamless.

Mods at her stream are quite stiff. After answering someones question "Why she is at Root as master level player." with "Because she is a girl." ... I have been banned from a channel for a while. ... do people find it wrong to say this? Because it is obvious reason for me. ... I am part of pr dpt. of local clothing company, and we have girls on our team, that are not as good at snowboarding or skateboarding as their male team mates, but they are good adition for ads, partners, community and so on ... to say that it is something different in this case is just not true ...

It's not wrong at all to ask legit questions, I personally avoid stream personalities Twitch chat, most of the time mods are jerks or uptight when people ask legit questions. A good portion of them are pretty rude.

It's not because she's a girl though, at least not fully. She may get the stream numbers she does partly because she's a girl, but ROOT probably picked her up because she has those stream numbers, is a nice person, has a quality stream, and possibly also because she's in masters league as a girl, which is rare and might get ROOT a spot in some all girl tournys or something. To say ROOT picked her up just because she's a girl is completely false and I can see why mods might see it as offensive to assume she has success only because she's a girl.

How about: "Because she is a successful streamer"?
You could ask "Why is she a successful streamer" and that probably has to do with her being female, but that's an other question.

I just find it funny that in times when we got to the stage of development where we are redefining terms like "male" and "female" and accept people who are different (which is as it should be), we need to be so careful with our words and how we will phrase things in a simple every day conversation to avoid judgement and sanctions (in this case getting banned from some stream). You have progression of rights at one end and regression (in a sense) on other end, like freedom of speech. So you have people who are very liberal on one hand, but at the same time very rigid and ready to call out someone for saying his opinion and/or stating a fact.

I guess trolls are also to blame since it is sometimes hard to distinguish a genuine question or answer from a troll attempt since there is a lot of immature people, especially on twitch.

But you have white knights even here in this thread, calling TotalBiscuit out for saying "biological female".

It is the same as people who pretend males and females (in biological sense of the word) are equal in every way. No they have a lot of differences but should be treated equally. There is a big difference.

I never hinted at the proportion of real fans to drama-hungry people, unlike the other guy who literally said " this is what we all want to see", I just pointed out the factual inaccuracy of what he was suggesting. ^_^

I have one legit question. When i see her streaming most of the time there are some concurrent high level korean streams including zerg ones. Why someone would watch mid master NA zerg instead of pro? - hint "boobs" And shure it will transfer to ROOT SC2 scene penetration. Lets call it for fun sake "the Double Penetration Approach". They got some legit players for competition (since usually tournaments have no webcam boobs work slightly worse, but still gonna attract some eyeballs with "wow it's a real girl" effect) and some successful web-personalities, by most part, foreigners one of which happens to has a pair of boobs bundled with it and this is as beneficial for his\her career as, for examplem, Ukrainian roots for Kas, Dimaga, HappyZerg or even White-Ra for those guys to be popular in Ukraine or Russia.

Also i would suggest to the CatZ sometime down the road getting her enpregnant and push this story as "the e-sports seedlings" or "e-sports dynasty" and make a f-ton of photos for the Facebook and exclusive e-delivery materials for the TL - ths way you will show that e-sports isn't dying, that you have long term comitment and all those e-money can support full family. For now you can make video in EG spirit. Call it "snow white and 12 gamers" might be something like Rammstein Sonne video clip - I quite enjoyed it.

PS. If you guys need some more perverted suggestions or more details - call me, it's a shame but im always available
