I am wondering why people have such strong opinions on this matter.
As far as I see it, its an interesting development in E-Sports. Does Spyte get a easier way into Root just because she is a girl? Maybe.
But then again she has to put up with all this crap that people talk about.
Im not sure If Id ever like to be in her position.

My only hope is that she will toss those useless and pointless opinions away and focus on people who support her.

I always enjoyed her stream and I'm happy she got picked up by a professional team! Congratulations to both Coryn and ROOT!

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 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.


Im sorry, i have no idea why ROOT picked her up and all the best to the team and her but everything you explain above is a result of her being a girl.

-Successful stream, quality stream - because she's a girl. Plenty other quality streams of master players out there that dont get the same attention.
-ROOT might get a spot in an all-female tourney
-Because she's in masters league and is a girl
-Nice person, yes, all the other master players out there are assholes!

Like i said, i have no idea why they picked her up and all the best but you just listed a bunch of things that support the "picked up because girl" arguement and then said the opposite lol.

Personally i'd assume the pickup was due to stream success which brings more attention to ROOT. I doubt it has much more behind it.
