While I might think that an American manager would be overreacting in this situation, I think that Korean culture may call for such a strong reaction from Jessica. | ||

Can't believe the reaction to SlayerS_Eve, it's pretty disgusting. I don't really understand the situation completely but I guess a bit of that may be cultural? Hope it gets sorted out. | ||

I'd like to believe you're training Eve to all-kill in the team leagues right, right?! SlayerS fighting! Lim Yo Hwan fighting! | ||

Did you think these kind of people don't exist? Did you think these kind of people are not part of the starcraft 2 community? You're drawing more attention to yourself, and that by default means more haters. So do you really think taking action is the right choice? I would be lying if I'd say that I think it will change anything. Other than the few insignificant individuals you get from doing this it seems likely nothing will change. I can't imagine this setting some kind of example, I would guess this won't scare anyone that would do these idiotic things. It wouldn't be the first time I'm horribly wrong though. But I would urge you to brush off any idiotic insults people throw at you/your husband/your teammates, some people just want to see the world burn. | ||

As for the harassment. I respect that you are trying to protect Eve. If she cannot simply ignore the hate, which some people cannot, then it's smart to try and stop it now. I have nothing but respect for your decision. Good luck. I hope to see Eve one day play in the GSL. Don't let the haters get to her. She is probably better then 95% of them. If not more. | ||

Second of all, I don't really care that much what Jessica does. But I generally share the opinion of one of the previous posters: On August 06 2011 23:04 Balgrog wrote: Jessica, you hired a female to have a female on the team, as you stated. This is not right. You should bring her on because she is a competitor, she will have results, at least have a SHOT at GSL or GSTL, something to promote her. I support everyone in the pro scene, I do not support people who bring in females for you're reasons. There is not physical aspects to Star Craft, women can compete with men, find someone better. And lastly, I generelly don't understand why people "overreact" (in my point of view) so much because of cyber-bullying. Well alright, I've never been cyber-bullied myself, so I don't know what those people are going through, maybe it is worse than real bullying because they can't really retaliate? Can't you just "stand firm" and by doing that make the bully look like the stupid mentally-retarded kid he/she is? Oh well, I only have been bullied in real life (in high school by some wannabe nazis since I am asian) and there I could train several months to show them from which part of the world martial arts came from. Got 2 weeks exclusion from school though, because I beat 3 people up quite badly. :-/ | ||

I disagree with this. I think bringing in females into a male dominated competitive enviroment is a good thing. This will not only bring more fans to the sport but also help the sport gain access to an entirely new pool of people/players. The same reason componies hire people of mixed race/origin's because people from different backgrounds bring their own flair and expertise to the company which in alot of case's can help find things or in SC2's case exploit things that were commonly thought to be un-exploitable. TL;DR: Girls promote diversity in the sport and can provide the community with a new skill set and fan base. Edit: Spelling | ||

It is difficult for the average male player, too." This exemplifies the fact that both men and women should be treated equal and although she may have been the champion of the Female League, there are possibly better players out there and you should've strived in order to find a more suitable occupant for the female icon of Starcraft 2. Your intent was good and it may indeed promote diversity amongst e-Sports, but in my mind there is assuredly a better and more suitable candidate in order to facilitate the entrance of additional female professional gamers. This was not meant to insult or throw out insinuations but you are blinded by your perspective and cannot objectively look at this situation. I merely meant to point out your fallacies. | ||

The amount of fans BoxeR has completely surpasses the haters though, in the west we have really gotten used of the haters as being part of the landscape, as soon as a player becomes really popular, it comes with the territory, there is a lot of frustrated people using the internet who are feeling safe from anything at home and who will often say things online they would never say in real life. Anyway best wishes to SlayerS team and eve, after meeting you guys at mlg i can say you're a very likeable team! | ||
