And frankly any attention SC2 gets is good. I'm pretty sure BW is more popular than SC2 in Korea.
Nay, both are not popular, compared with LOL (tho I think this scene is fine)
Of course BW was phenomenal (literally, boxer is quasi-GOD among 20-40`s).However, this is 2015, not 1999. People love BW in terms of nostalgia, not the game itself.

honestly they might work in an archon mode league, archon mode is less mechanically taxing on the gamers and requires just better strategy and decision making
|
I wonder if they are good enough to be practice partners. I say only because it seems they are not fully committing to being pro gamers since they want to be pop stars too.

This is really cool Best of luck to MVP and these ladies!

I encourage anyone proficient in Korean to proofread and let me know what needs fixing.

[2]: this sentence is talking about the people who work as progamers on the side, combining with their first job. [3]: just singing. [4]: you`re roight [5]: negative 'perception' of people - (bout female progamers who are not competitive nor conative)

BW is still fairly popular in Korea, sure the player base is dwarfed by LoL's, but last I saw (which was about a month ago) it was the 4th most played game at PC Bangs.

Eh, just take gender out of the equation and think about it as if MVP picked up three part-timers.... yeah, don't expect anything

she used to stream, did quite well on Korean ladder. not GM but top masters Which is FAR from being able to compete. doesn't stop the foreigners

Usually I support trying to bring more women into competitive StarCraft, but these are explicitly part-timers, so I'm mostly expecting mascots.
I'd be pleased if I'm wrong though.

Are they real females or like faye scarlett females?

If I say I have 0 expectations of them even being fielded in PL don't say that I'm sexist of course it will be cool to see if they can perform well/win some matches, but if they are doing this AND singing, like is this just a publicity stunt?

I honestly feel like this is the case. Unless any of them really devote time, and effort into it, there's no way they'd be fielded into the main lineup for Proleague. At best they'll be practice partners for the team, juggling between being a Kpop Group and a progamer seems way too difficult and one has to devote seemingly full time over the other if they want to succeed in either.
I wish them the best of luck, but I don't expect them to amount to much as pro gamers.

I don't have a problem with a bit more eye candy in the sc2 scene
Man, they're living the dream though. They're beautiful, get lots of attention from being popstars AND get to game as part of their job. Some of us just didn't get the right cards when we were born, I swear

Has to be that. If they really wanted a skilled female progamer they would have kept Aphrodite, she was pretty good and crushed face in the WSL they had recently.
