She's actually a good and competitive player, not just a publicity stunt.
And even still... you don't need to be so hostile x.x

I was really getting sick and tired of "Foreign Team A has signed Diamond Level PrettyGirl B" and acting like they picked said player for her skill rather than her looks.
Furthermore, congratulations on staying away from a sensationalist title like "The amazingly beautiful female gamergurl Flo joins Quantic"
Very impressive and classy by Quantic. Good luck in the future Flo!
I share these sentiments. Only time they mentioned her even being female (aside from gender pronouns) was here:
as she trains to become not just the best female, but the best gamer overall.
A little bit ambitious, but not because she's female. It's just a lot to ask of ANYONE to be the best player on Earth. Still, gotta love the attitude they're putting towards her. They're not signing her as a pretty face, they're signing her as a solid player with a lot of potential. If it happens to advance the female gaming scene, so be it. I know I'm going to be watching her career with some amount of eagerness.
That said, I rather hope they don't assign Naniwa as her practice partner any time soon. That would take a toll on ANYONE, and I'd hate to see our scowling Swedish friend knock an up-and-coming player out of the game entirely.

Met her at MLG Orlando :D. Coolest Terran chick out there. Good luck Flo :D

Strange choice, there are hundreds of more skilled free agents out there. I really hope she wasn't picked up just because she is a girl...
|
Hah. Quantic gets their signature female too. Well, at least she actually plays in tournaments.
|
I'm high masters and don't have teams looking to sign me.
Oh well...
I'm going to get banned for this.
GL with your team!

Now all quantic have to do is complete that potential partnership with startale and they will be my favourite team
|
Well done.

Congrats Quantic on picking up Flo!
|
cool news. but you are wrong if you think this didn't happen mainly because she is a girl (yes, she's decent at sc2 too)
|

What team was she in before? Wasn't she in PMS then in this Zowie thing? Well at least she's in a well established known team now.

I was skeptical based on the announcement ("this again...") but looks like she's actually pretty good. Best of luck to QxG and Flo.
