ps. I actually have much more respect for the real girl gamers that DIDN'T sign up for this competition....

I agree about GH, but, yes impressed with her list too. She has alot more going for her than most on there.

Well mechanically guitar hero is fucking hard... Although someone that good at it might as well just play a real instrument for money as they're certainly dexterous enough!
Also that photo of hot bid required me to take a cold shower.

Why not just make the contest for a hot nerd girl then? Also half the women on there look sort of.... well slutty. Somehow I don't think this is representative of women in gaming. Anna Prosser probably deserves to win, she's done a lot to represent women in e-sports. But then, Hot_Bid winning would be too fucking amazing, and would be an appropriate outcome for this silly contest. Lmao dude that is what they are looking for, its MAXIM after all.. They want to find a girl who "plays" games, and is hot. They will then proceed to do a photoshoot with her (see kellymilkies) and make interview with her with couple questions about gaming thats all.
And that's actually pretty sad.

I highly, HIGHLY doubt that the life of eSports is on the line in any way with respect to how Hot_bid does in this competition. Some people have really started to take the esports fanhood a bit too far.
That was irony for the record, i dont know why you would assume that anyone is dumb enough to think e-sports is hurt just because Hot_Bid does not win a "girls gamer" competition.

I thought the point was if Hot_Bid does well or wins(impossible) it would make the gaming community look bad: i.e. eSports looks bad.

Well, being good at guitar hero is impressive in the same way it's impressive when some one can stack cups very fast.
I certainly don't consider it a real competition or eSport, though. However, her accomplishments with fighting games counts in my eyes.

Getting good enough at Guitar Hero that you can do the harder songs 100% is about as hard as learning enough real guitar to play the easiest songs well enough that it sounds half decent
That's not to say it isn't mechanically demanding, but there's no thought involved so even if you argue that it's just as technically challenging as Starcraft or FPS or fighting games (which I still don't think it is), it's still a pretty simple game
that said Guitar Hero is awesome and she's legitimately good at it so she certainly deserves to be called a serious gamer

serious gamers wouldn't be playing guitar hero (guitar freaks is a real game)
|
Hot_Bid needs to tempt us with rewards if he's seriously hoping to win, like TradeChat is doing with her fans.
Titty shot at 2000 votes??

cheers for Esports!GO HOTBID!
|
I don't care who wins, i just want Maxim to have Hot_bid bomb every single photo.
|
Voted! Go gogoogog hot_bid!
|
Dayum, this competition is like biggest collection of attention seeking leeches. I could bet my both kidneys 99% of girls on that website never played a single game outside of "fun time with my boyfriend", hence I voted for Hot_Bid! Go Hot_Bid! :-)

While the contest rules don't stipulate that the entrant be female, I'm pretty sure they will be able to disqualify Hot_Bid on a technicality. From the official rules:
5. ENTRY CONDITIONS: LIMIT 1 ENTRY PER PERSON.
Each Entry: (vii) may not contain commercial or corporate advertising, including display of corporate logos, brand names and slogans, other than those relating to Sponsor
If only someone would have read the rules before uploading that picture.....
