Doubt she's gonna bother to play SC2 though

T_T such a cutie and an inspiring lady.

Sad to see her go she could have made the transition into being a host/caster if she really wanted to stay in e-sports.

It was a lot harder for her because she was a girl in a sexist environment, not easier. She wouldn't have become a poster girl and might be less success in terms of money and popularity, but she would have almost certainly gotten some games.

;-;
bw will never be the same

i r sad
End of an era, thank you for the memories and odd sleeping schedules

I really hope she finds something that makes her happy. I can't even imagine how hard the progaming environment must have been for her, especially being the only girl on the entire team. I admire her persistence and her dedication. The interviews with her reflected some kind of sadness imo.
Tossgirl fighting!

It's not normal for anyone. I don't see your point.

That's true. You just forgot to mention that it's not normal for a guy either. What I was hinting at is that a normal girl *could*, in fact, do it. Just like a normal guy could.

I'm really glad that someone is toeing this line, the pressure and expectations on her were great, she was the only active female progamer in starcraft for a long time, she had the position of trend setter thrust upon her, unlike jaedong and others who can differentiate themselves through their skill, she had to represent an entire gender on her shoulders, and will inevitability be remembered as "tossgirl-the most famous starcraft player who was a woman", rather than "tossgirl-okay at starcraft" So lets not bash her guys, she was alot better than large percentage of people that have ever played starcraft.
