"lol who", "why not pick up X Korean who is available and much better" xD And to other people in this thread, yeah a world where skill is valued just as much if not more so than pure personality would be great, but that's never been the case, in fact we're closer than we've ever been to that. Let's not forget that in the West opportunistic people like Fatal1ty, whose reputation far exceeds his actual skill, are still more famous and have made wayyyy more stack than people who are actually really good at FPS games... nuff said. ;p ?? didnt fatal1ty make most if not all his "stacks" from winning a bunch of fps tourneys? so im not sure what you mean yes team can pick up players cause there popular but he had to have some skill to win all them tourneys which made the reputation. | ||

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" A male player of the same skill wouldn't get picked up by a professional team unless they had the stream numbers spyte does. I hate to burst your bubble but spyte isn't "rising talent"; she's a mid masters player, and got picked up because of stream numbers to show sponsors. I really don't understand why there is this big of a discussion already. A female gamer got picked up by a professional team because of stream numbers, not because she's an up and coming GM player or something. OBVIOUSLY there is nothing wrong with this, it's good for both parties and the scene. | ||

Seeing as how I haven't played SC2 since the WoL beta, I bet 99% of the people in Bronze could beat me. That's why you don't see me in a professional team. But I don't really see how my inability to play has anything to do with her potential skill. | ||

I hope she is mentally ready for all this attention, especially random "it's only because you have boobs, show them", "i will subscribe if you blow" or even death threats. Being only female competitive progamer has its costs and it's like magnet for all the internet wilderness. I don't know if she has guts for this. All that hate can make your life 10 years shorter and for what, couple of gaming fame moments? I never understand this argument, do you naively think that male games doesn't get a lot of death threats and hate too? | ||

I don't see why the competitive scene 'needs' girls in it, if they get there they get there which would be cool | ||

Actually its no surprise, 90% of foreign players are basically there for the marketing. I am still impressed that the whole system works and korean players havent taken all the foreign teams over yet. If Lady Spyte brings new people and viewers into the sc2 scene/ her team, its good for everybody :D. | ||

That being said, I would like to see more players take the heel role. They don't have to be assholes or anything, but, you know, play up the evil. Anyway, Spyte rocks I hope she teaches ROOT a thing or two. | ||

It's not like Xenocider was ripping up the NA ladder and crushing faces before RG signed him. I'm sure Xenocider was doing well in GM before then. For a team to pick up a mid-master player, popularity aside, they would have to be around 10 years old to really intrigue any one enough. Just look at SEED, though; I believe they had Intense: a young NA Terran player who is not only GM on NA but was GM on Korea. The guy has high apm and all the attributes you'd look for, yet not enough to get on the main team. If he was a girl, GM on NA, alone, obviously would have been enough, though. | ||
