Good luck!

Excuse me for my ignorance, but do any of the female members of the pro teams actually go up against the males in tournaments or do they only play in female only tournaments? While I have heard of several pick ups, I haven't heard of any results so far.

Do you not have rent to pay for or something? 12k/yr in a developed city is well below the poverty line. I mean, minimum wage is ~18k/yr if you work full time. It just doesn't add up. You're either leaving out part of the story(you live quite comfortably on 12k/yr while living with your parents in high school), or you are just in a vast minority as far as your standard of 'quite comfortably.'

Well, Aphrodite is probably the only female progamer that is able to take on co-ed competitions as of now. She trashed Destiny fairly convincingly, defeats NA GMs more than she loses, and she does put up a decent showing on the KR ladder. I'm sure she attempts to qualify for code A, but there's no way Startale can send just a "quite good" player like Aphrodite to MLG or other foreign events. If they can't send Squirtle/Rainbow, they definitely can't send Aphrodite.

Korean tournaments are.....kind of hard. It's no surprise you haven't heard of results recently. We haven't heard anything out of Fruitdealer, and IdrA/HuK got booted out of code A with little fanfare. I suppose you just have to consider how good these pros have to be to post results other than 0-2.

I second that Luway is a true talent, she is NA GM with almost 78% winrate.

When LA Galaxy signed David Beckham he was most definitely past his prime and also they payed an absolutely RIDICULOUS transfer fee and wage.

So why did they sign him when they could of signed so many better players who wouldn't of costed as much?

because he's David fucking Beckham

same principle applies here as she is eFamous in china.



That is not comparable. David Beckham may not have been the greatest soccer player in the world at that time, but he was still able to compete at the level he was signing too. He was playing in the MLS and contributing to the team. If any of these female SC2 players were able to play in GSL Code A or B or GSTL and not get rocked then I wouldn't have any problem what so ever. My problem is that they get a contract because of their SEX not because of their SKILL.

The only problem in your argument, everyone knows the NA GM is pretty weak compared to EU and especially KR
Plays against every MU with nexus first.

Sorry but nobody gives a shit about the MLS except Mexicans lol. Beckham is just a fancy deal to get more attention into soccer for the US viewers and LA Galaxy hope they could draw more and more ads contract.

She's 8th ranked masters on the Korean ladder and she's only been playing the game for like 6-8 months, her first RTS. I think she got to the third round in Code A in her first attempt too. Also, she wins all the female tournaments she goes too, so I'd say she's well worth the investment for Startale and not just for her looks. The new addition? No clue.

Aphrodite is pretty strong. StarTale has used her in team leagues and she's won. I really like StarTale's attitude towards females. I really don't feel like they just add any girl just for show. They actually groomed Aphrodite. She can perform well and I can't wait to see her hit up foreign tournaments.
