Not just sorcery, lots of guys have played on her account, plenty of people saw Pride stream while she asked him when he was gonna play on her account, multiple times actually.
I have no doubt she's a decent player... but definitely not legit GM.

* How did you get involved in BW/SC2?
I played Warcraft III for five years. Many of my friends from that game went to SC2 so I decided to play it as well.
* By which team/player/caster are you most inspired?
No unusual support for any team, i say "fighting" for my favorite player, which is oGsMC. His micro is like god and i feel his forcefield is perfect art. i think He is protoss players' leader in spirit also my coach Wulongstorm. Wulong is the only tw/kr server GM in Taiwan. He has very good micro and macro,and he is my teacher,a very very very good teacher. he teach me most tactics, let me win against many pro who i win them almost impossible. QBabyStorM (http://www.facebook.com/QBabyStorM) is one of the most Well-known castors in taiwan. she stream interesting and popular. she is a very charming woman with sweet voice and she always committed to promotion sc2.Worthy of respect.
* What would you ultimately like to see the future hold in regards to female players?
More and more female players as powerful as top male players.
* What do you do in your time when you are not playing or watching esports?
I like window shopping and eating but sc2 takes me a lot of time to practice, so i have little time outside. Sometimes take a walk with my dog around the park.
* If you are in team, what team are you in and what is your role with them?
I would like to join fxo because the best macro "GM" choya there. I hope i can up tw/kr server gm by teaching of choya and be a important player in the team. Currently I am in a Taiwanese clan called Storm and we compete in TCL and TESL.
* How old are you & how long have you been playing BW/SC2?
I am always 18 and have been playing SC2 since the end of October last year.
* If you could do 1 thing in regards to BW/SC2, what would you do and why?
I dont think very much, i just hope for fun, but win=fun for me,when i beat the pro's many people always say they are play with me not serious. I want to prove girls dont lose boys on rts. People watch female match always comment player if she beautiful or not. I want people watch female match can importance their Strength >>appearance.
* Would you like to attend an event such as the Zowie Divina Tournament? Did you attend any big LAN tournaments?
If time is okay and I can conquer my nerves, i think i will. I have a full time job and it is very difficult to get vacation. I have not yet attended any major lan's for SC2.
* I saw that you got GM on the NA server, apart from that, what's your biggest accomplishment in SC2?
i beat JulyZerg in a showmatch when he came to taiwan in May this year.

Am I the only one here who was kinda hoping for an image gallery in this thread? Or at least, some sort of calendar? The title of the thread lends itself to a few different expectations/interpretations...

i think the player profiles should be in a separate section.

Best CS 1.6 player I've ever know was a girl. She doesn't play anymore

10th member spotlight: TSUKARI
* Your Name and/OR Handle(s): tsukari
* What's your preferred race: Protoss
* League: Silver/Gold
* How did you get involved in BW/SC2 :
I played BW when I was super young, so I don't remember much of it. As for SC2... well it started with Day9 & King of the Beta tourney then I kinda fell off for a bit. Picked it back up with Husky, and soon after the GSL and well... I guess I just fell in love.
* By which team/player/caster? are you most inspired:
* TEAM: SlayerS > haha anyone who knows me/follows me on twitter knows how much I love team SlayerS. Besides BoxeR being a legend, I absolutely love the way everyone describes their relationship with not only BoxeR but the rest of the team as well. We all know how hard BoxeR works and his passion for StarCraft, but what I find amazing is seeing that passion passed on and shine through his team. MMA tends to be the most notable, but other players like GanZi, Ryung, TaeJa, Alicia, Puzzle, and even Dragon show that their passion increases every time any SlayerS does well. Even after losses, they'll all be depressed together but they never stay down for long. Along with the help of their fans, they get right back up and strive harder than before. At least, that's how it looks to me.
* Casters: Day9 & Tasteless > the amount of work they both do is really astonishing, and huge props to Tasteless for dropping everything to go cast SC in Korea. I don't think I'd have the courage to do that.
* What would you ultimately like to see the future hold in regards to female players?
I would love for there not need to be a distinction between female players and male players. Someday, I want everything to be so integrated that people can't remember saying, "And we have a girl on the mainstage facing off x player!"
* What do you do in your time when you are not playing or watching esports?
I tweet like a madwoman to get my eSports fix in while I handle school! (Then again I normally tweet like crazy >_>) Other than that I sing, dance hula, read manga, and cook. ^^

Wasn't this figured out and proven several months ago?

adding my info to help support the gosc. hope that's alright 
Name and/OR Handle(s):
Alexa Janosz, "TurnipThrowingPeach" or "Peach"
What's your preferred race:
Terran
League:
Bronze/Silver
I've been to silver but dropped back to bronze. lol
How did you get involved in BW/SC2:
Well, I played WoW since vanilla with my boyfriend. He introduced me to the glory that is Blizzard Enertainment. I was one of those nagging girlfriends, at first, and hated the fact he played video games. After awhile, I understood how it was much more than a silly hobby and it meant a lot to him, so I started playing. Years before SC2 was released, he was showing me the early footage of the gameplay and I was super excited ever since then. RTS was brand new to me. It was hard to learn the mechanics but I enjoyed the challenge. Once I won my first ladder game, I was hooked. hehe ^.^
By which team/player/caster? are you most inspired:
Team -
Evil Geniuses
Casters -
Tastosis + Day9
Players -
Choosing one is impossible! lol xD I'll list a few by race.
Zerg: IdrA, NesTea, Leenock, DRG
Terran: MMA, DeMusliM, Thorzain, MVP, Boxer, Puma
Protoss: HuK, MC, White-Ra
What would you ultimately like to see the future hold in regards to female players?
As much as I'd like to see females playing alongside the males, I think its pivotel for SC2 to have more female only leagues and tournaments. Having a female demographic makes the game feel so much more global and universal. Many people play video games, but girls are hesistant to admit it when they do. In the near future, all I really want to see is females making up 50% of the community, whether they are players or fans. The gender gap is closing slowly everyday, and I believe we are near the 50/50 mark. Together, as men and women of SC, we will achieve this feat sooner than later.
What do you do in your time when you are not playing or watching esports?
I work part time at Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market (a small grocery store ran by self-checkout computers) and go to school. I'm a homebody so I'm usually keeping busy doing things like cooking and baking, watching movies and TV shows with the boyfriend, playing with my kitty cat <3, etc.

The biggest thing that pisses me off about eSports is the reaction a large portion of the community gives towards girl gamers who are not attractive (even those who are not very attractive.) I think this is a problem that needs attention before a large portion of girl gamers will want to be a part of the community. I know that you can never get rid of the problem, but I think it would be good if it was acknowledged.
That said I am very happy to see the number of girls who play Starcraft! I hope many more join in your footsteps because there is certainly a need in this sadly male dominated community.

Yeah I agree completely. alot of people, when they describe female gamers, often mention if they are cute or not etc.
for example, just check a few pages back, there was someone who said "............... she's very cute.......... " etc. who the fuck cares? why should that matter?
i wish the gaming community wasn't as sexist as it is.

Is there really only one all-girl team? O.O

the looks of male gamers get commented on constantly, tlo's looks, nada's body thread etc.
if you dont like getting judged on your looks dont post a picture, its a natural reaction to judge people on their looks, if your actively promoting girl players looks dont get mad at people for making a comment on the content you produce.
