About Aphrodite: http://sports.news.naver.com/sports/index.nhn?category=e_sports&ctg=news&mod=read&office_id=347&article_id=0000062323
New ST player: http://sports.news.naver.com/sports/index.nhn?category=e_sports&ctg=news&mod=read&office_id=347&article_id=0000062321

More details, anyone? Google Translate still sucks for Korean...

Not really much to say from the two articles. The only thing that's relevant is that Aphrodite grabbed 1st place vs the new ST female player in the most recent MSI WSL.
So basically, MVP recruited Aphrodite who got 1st place and ST recruit Mun Sae Mi who grabbed 2nd place.

Also, according to the ST head coach, he feels that this new female player has what it takes to not only become the best female player but also become someone who can play on par with the male players.
And according to Choya, he wants to train Aphrodite to the point where he can send her our for Proleague for either Round 3 or Round 4.

MSI WSL Season 2 will take place on the 18th with Mun Sae Mi representing ST and Aphrodite representing MVP.

Would be great to see Aphrodite play in Proleague. Always felt that with more training she had the potential to get involved in teamleagues properly.

Does this new ST girl have a nickname or is she only known by her real name?

Well, we'll know if the new ST player is any good when we see her picture. The more good looking she is, the more likely it is that she's meant to be a PR tool.

Yeah, because everyone knows that handsome male progamers like Zest are bad and just PR tools am I right?

Always good when underrepresented communities get a chance to achieve. Hopefully, this'll give a bit of a boost to the female scene.

there seems to be a slightly mixed reaction here, but I think this new girl is kind of cute. hopefully we'll see her play sometime even if she isn't that good

Last time I saw Aphrodite stream she was mid masters on na. It's gonna take a long time if she is to become as good as male progamers.

"Life Science" is 生命科學 in hanja, or 생명 과학 in hangeul.
"Engineering" is 工學 in hanja, or 공학 in hangeul.

Combined you get 生命工學, or 생명공학, i.e. biotechnology.
Translating it simply as "Life Sciences" misses the engineering part.

Her name has another character though: 生命工學部, or 생명공학부...

meaning she is "The Faculty of Biotechnology", or "The Department of Biological Engineering"

I think that makes it stranger... and vaguely menacing? A better name than Lifesciences, in my opinion.

You could probably turn that into ST.Laboratory. That's a pretty cool name, IMO.

That's an intersting name and all but if she doesn't perform in tournies I can't spam it in threads. I hope to see good results!

Dang I first thought it was Dragon doing a ladyboy impression.

Anyway, it's a good omen that teams judge worthwhile to recruit female players again.

I'm talking about probabilities here, not mathematical certainties. Consciously picking one of the better looking male progamers isn't a good counter-argument.

If they can win one game in proleague, that will validate there place on the team
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

BioTech would be a really cool handle. Especially if she played Terran. People would be expecting her to go Marine Tank every matchup.
