Ailuj Joins Team Infused - Page 4
| Forum Index > SC2 General |
Hey guys. How about we drop the conversation regarding her gender and the signing? How does it affect you? Is this really anything new? What are you going to accomplish by attempting to tear her down? The hate/jealously going on here is embarrassing actually. Christ. Some of you need to grow up. Any discussion on the subject after this post will result in a mandatory temp ban. Added @ page 4 | ||

To me it just seems like a giant celebration of mediocrity, but hey, if they're happy then more power to them. Her purpose is not to play good or achive anything. She is will be at the events to take attention and help them to get more sponsors via "gamer girl" image. It's just a super standart business move and both sides know it very well. | ||

If starcraft doesn't take off for Ailuj, maybe she can win beauty pageants? | ||

They point out that she was the "first female" player on the MLG mainstage, where her play was very suboptimal against Losira (anyone remember how she changed the map view with her left hand o_0 ). If she was a male instead, there wouldn't have been any attention given towards that event and obviously more snowballing into easier team signing. Signing her was done from a PR standpoint. She can try to argue that she has the dedication, but dedication without results doesn't show much. Same thing with maximus'black (he isn't on maximus anymore is he?), they are on teams simply because they provide an entertainment service and PR for their team, but they don't come anywhere near the skill levels of the pros.

I don't want to get warned/banned for pointing this out, but I feel that it's a very important discussion point. that is true, and we are already discussing this. Read the last few pages. Also, not just any diamond girl would be signed, it is also very much because she is hawt. | ||

As long as it's within team liquid site rules why is it a bad thing? | ||
