Did like 100 interviews last year, but without any doubt the SC guys give the best answers and bring the most fun Well daz, I don't agree that female teams have for example the same financial backing as male teams. In general the female scene is not really developed and established. I see the reason for that in the fact that they never were given a chance. The community didn't want to take them serious (is that a wonder when 95% of the eSports community are males?), the eSports press often ignored them, the same goes when it comes to tournament holders. For example there is the ESL Major Series for female Counter-Strike. 750 Euro in cash every season. Last season actually Zinic won, but you can find a news no where. I wonder why it is like that. That is for example one thing when I talk about fighting for more equal conditions. Another thing is that girls are often just not allowed to participate in male tournaments in CS. But why? Even if they drop out in the first round, shouldn't they given a try? Otherwise, where is the motivation for the girls to practice, where is the motivation for them to become better, where is the motivation for them to even play in the end? One thing that is behind that all is www.zinicauction.com (better design to come!), which can make it possible that eSports doesn't depend only on sponsors any longer in the future. I didnt say that they had the same financial backing as male teams. I was saying that if you take a male team and a female team of the same skill, the female team will have WAY MORE FINANCIAL BACKING. For example your team Zinic, if a male team that had the same skill level as Zinic approached you and asked for sponsorship, you would probably tell them they suck and laugh at them until they left. But because zinic is females, you are giving them money. | ||

It'd just be nice if it were billed that way, instead of for "equality." It would be interesting to see what would happen if a college had an official e-sports team. | ||

If this team warranted much attention as a competitive team then people would already have heard of them, considering they're an all gaming team. But this, just like every other "female progaming team" is just what it is as usual. | ||

Pretty similar. Can safely say that all the non-koreans wouldn't even register on the scale if they were instead born as koreans (assuming no skill changes resulting from that). It is still frustrating to miss out on opportunities due to things out of your control. | ||

Certainly there's a general difference between men and women in starcraft, and between koreans and non-koreans, whether due to environment or due to population sizes or even due to genetics if that is truly the case. There's not so much evidence as to how korean women compare to non-korean men in SC. None of that was my point though. I wanted to point out the non-koreans in SC thing, as it may relate more to people reading this, and hence give people a bit of compassion for the female gamers. | ||
