I wanted something that would fit being a source on Liquipedia, something that people could look at and decide within the space of 5 seconds whether it confirms what's written or not. After all, since Liquipedia tries to convey facts as truthfully as possible, I wouldn't want to accuse anyone of being a cheater just based on a different playstyle that one evening. However, a statement about a doubled APM or something like that would be adequetly convincing, I think. | ||

*Name: Tanya "Leiella" *Peferred race: Protoss *League: Not ranked, but working on my 1s * How did you get involved in BW/SC2: I'm a gamer girl so I just figured even tho I wasn't really into RTSs up until that point why not give SC2 a try. Then I just couldn't stop playing, especially when I started getting involved and meeting new teammates, etc. Team games are so much fun with skype!  * By which team/player/caster? are you most inspired: As for a player I would say someone like Moman or Ret. I know both of them and they are wonderful people. As for Caster I would have to say the Plott Brothers. They are just amazing, funny and very smart. * What would you ultimately like to see the future hold in regards to female players? I would like to see more female only leagues. Ones that are as big as the male ones, but for females only. I would also like to see the community become a bit more friendly towards females as a whole and of course this will help the growth of E-Sports. * What do you do in your time when you are not playing or watching esports? Wait there is a time when you don't play or watch esports? Jk! I actually work for a lawyer part time. When I am not playing or watching esports I am looking for something to do to help the community more. Such as run events/tournaments, do commentary or maybe make some guides for people who are new to that particular game. *If your in team, what team are you in and what is your role with them? Team Dignitas and I am a blog writer for them * How old are you & how long have you been playing BW/SC2? 22 & 3 years. * If you could do 1 thing in regards to BW/SC2, what would you do and why? Take a picture with Jaedong cause his muta micro is amazing!!! ![[image loading]](https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/photos-ak-snc1/v3257/34/32/669505715/n669505715_6627993_5102087.jpg?dl=1) | ||

*Name: Ashley "Ladyinsanity" Soriano * Preferred race: Protoss * League: Silver * How did you get involved in BW SC2: I've known about Starcraft for years, but I didn't start watching until MLG Raleigh last year. I grew to really enjoy the game, but could not play it at all (was competing in Halo and Call of Duty). A friend of mine eventually bought the game for me after MLG Dallas this year and I practically fell in love with the game. * By which team/player/caster are you most inspired: Despite my hesitations about the guy, HuK is probably my inspiration in playing. I admire his dedication and work ethic within Starcraft. Take every aspect of him as a player and that is what I want to be at. * What would you ultimately like to see the future hold in regards to female players? Personally, I would like to see the number of females match the number of males at tournaments. Realistically, I want to see around 20 or more females competing within the bigger tournaments (MLG, IPL, NASL, etc). *What do you do in your time when you are not playing or watching esports? Most of my life is dedicated to gaming and eSports in some capacity. I study Interactive Entertainment at USC full-time and I am also interning at Treyarch (they made Call of Duty: Black Ops). So any free time that I have that is not dedicated to competing or watching tournaments is devoted to school and work. * If you're in a team, what team are you in and what is your role with them? I recently left Quantic Gaming. I was a contracted player for Call of Duty since early March and played Starcraft for them in MLG Raleigh. I don't regret leaving them - I'm happily a free agent now * How old are you & how long have you been playing BW/SC2? 22 and I have been playing SC2 since March of this year. * If you could do 1 thing in regards to BW/SC2, what would you do and why? Play and hope to eventually place in any of the tournaments this or next year. I also would love to help more females compete at tournaments. With MLG, I have 16 events on my belt and would love to get more females involved, competing, and shredding the competition ![[image loading]](http://i53.tinypic.com/rh6d82.jpg) | ||

*Name: Brandi "BrightSide" PM * Preferred race: I learned Protoss first, but I think Zerg is fun, and I'm learning Terran as well: Random? * League: I often wonder. I do a lot with the community, and because I love that work so much, I don't get a chance to play often on the ladder. I really play for the enjoyment of it, so, even if I happen to get really good, I don't know that I will notice :D *How did you get involved in BW/SC2 : Ever since I can remember, I've been around video games. I knew my dad up until I was about six (don't worry, It's not a "sad" story), and he and I would sit and play whatever game was available for our PC. My parents split pretty early in my life, but I eventually acquired a few step-brothers who played on a daily basis: old-school PC games, Atari, Nintendo, etc... The people I gravitated toward in school were always people with interest in gaming of one kind or another. My really good friend, Tristan, (here's looking at you Tris – glad we finally got in contact again) was huge into Diablo2, and he'd tell me stories of it all the time about what he had collected, who he was able to help, what quests he’d completed or was having a hell of a time with, and so on and so on. He would go on for hours, and I, being a good and loving friend, would listen. (Not to mention I love great stories anyway.) After high school, we went our separate ways – he to the military, and I to more school – both always hoping we’d cross paths again someday, and knowing we were both awful at keeping in touch. We eventually did lose touch, as people often do, but I tried to keep in touch with the world of video games - not only because it was awesome, but there was always that connection with my friend - even though I no longer saw him on a daily basis. Lots of life happened. Making $$ took up a lot of my time (working at jobs I didn't love). I did all the "life" stuff at a very young age, and was on a long gaming hiatus. I couldn't help but feeling something was missing. I had stuff to like and do, but nothing to be really passionate about. Because of my 'time off from games' I never got the chance to get into BW. My husband had played BW and D2, but was playing a lot of WoW at the time we met, and I never really got into that either, so I would find other things to play, like Scrabble, physics games of the Flash variety, puzzle games, word games, etc etc... finish one, move on to the next. And then one day: SC2 was released. There were parties, there was hype, there was much dancing and rejoicing from keyboards all over the world. A new era had begun. I watched my husband play some, and asked lots of questions. It looked interesting enough, but my husband is an engineer-turned-programmer, and explains things in such a way that any lay person would have a hard time understanding. But alas, one evening, via the magic we know as the internet, he was watching something which intrigued me. What was that? You may ask. ‘Twas an informative game analysis focusing on what was done, what to do, how to be better – and more of that, and still more. I watched, I understood, I learned. I PLAYED. I built stuff. I battled. I learned. I got an account. I PLAYED. (I won a few times and lost a crap-ton, but it's fun, so win or lose – no big). I learned. I LEARNED. I will never stop learning. OMG ZOMG MOMG! That’s one of the things I live by!!! It was just meant to be. So, here I am now, over a year after the release of SC2, helping to spread the word on how cool this game is – how cool StarCraft is - To spread the word that gaming is not just a bunch of teenage boys snorting and cracking on girls, but in the SC community(ies), gaming is a place for growth, personal improvement, and an awesome chance to meet people who share a common passion and interest. I've gone places and done things that I would, otherwise, never even have thought of - All because I love this game and all people/things surrounding it. So, how did I get into StarCraft? <- I amend this question to "how did I get into the Girls' StarCraft community" : I didn't just get into it. I wrapped myself around it, and I embraced it, and then I wondered how many other girls shared my same passion. I think I began searching in April of 2011, and finally found the Girls of StarCraft group that had begun on Facebook by June. I joined the girls when there were only about 30-40 members – maybe fewer, and I'm dedicated to helping the group grow and expand. At events, I ask other girls who obviously have an interest in the game, if they play, and introduce them to our group. I hear so many girls say “I thought I was the only one.” I feel I've gained a fuller life because of this game, and I want others to revel in that opportunity as well. <3 *By which team/player/caster are you most inspired? Team: GoGoGo friends at team Fem-FX, but other than these girls, I'm pretty unbiased, and I enjoy the diversity of different teams. Player: White-Ra, because of his extreme nice-ness, and dedication to constant improvement. MarineKing because of his undying gratitude, and just about anyone who is supportive of the girls. (I do enjoy watching IdrA's play as well.) Caster: Props to ALL the female castresses out there! Ugh – that's tough to just pick one. They all do such a great job and I don't think I can really pick one over the others. Casters: I will say this: Husky has come a long way, and I love his excitement and casting style, and I want to mention Robin (Tim Frazier) as well, because I think he's in the beginnings of some great casting. *What would you ultimately like to see the future hold in regards to female players? I'd love to see some top female players rise up through the brackets, and one day, compete in main-stage events. I'd like to see female and male (e)athletes competing at the same levels with the same respect. *What do you do in your time when you are not playing or watching eSports? I have a full time job in graphic design, as well as people to tend to, but when all is done, I dedicate a hefty chunk of my time to growing the female StarCraft community. I enjoy photography, and creating delicious eats. I must also mention, I LOVE hearing and reading great stories. *If you're in a team, what team are you in and what is your role with them? I support the girls' teams, but am too flighty and 'busy creating' to be ON a team atm. *How old are you & how long have you been playing BW/SC2? Forever26, and SC2 since about a month after its release. *If you could do 1 thing in regards to BW/SC2, what would you do and why? Anything? In a perfect world, female and male players would be viewed as completely equal. My goal is to spread the word as fast as possible that YES, many girls love this game too. I’d also like to have the means to get to as many tournaments as possible, because I think it’s really important to meet up with others in the community. *Role in the community? I currently am a co-administrator for the GoSC private FB group, co-community manager for our Twitter @the_GoSC, and Girls of StarCraft Facebook fan page, I help organize and conduct interviews, I'm also a graphic designer/writer actively working on the GoSC main site at http://gosc.tv. I promote our group at tourneys, photograph events, and contribute as much as possible to the success of the organization. Oh, and I WILL ask for help when needed, so beware of my direct messages :D:D ![[image loading]](http://i44.tinypic.com/15hc484.jpg) | ||
