Quote by adetoEveryone jumping on the feminism bandwagon... GL to any women trying to qualify for the main event, this gender based side tournament is an honest insult to real women in eSports...


Think I've clearly stated some of my disagreements with some of the solutions leagues have come up with so white knight wouldn't be the right term for me I think :D Caster are personal preference... I enjoy the hype casting TosspoT, Pansy, Deman and some others do, if you don't that's your issue not mine :D

Yeah Anders, that guy is amazing..

Tosspot is also quite enjoyable, but he doesnt get the same level of excitement as he used to with ET + there is something in his voice like lisping or smth

Maybe because ET is more phenomenal than 10 scrubs playing hide n seek and shooting with their smg.

Whiteknight based on liking this video? Pansy being a good caster or not (somewhat subjective) is also not very relevant to the topic.

Well you make just as much sense as you did when asking us if we are "even trying", while raping you at spawn in goldrush.

Well unfortunate, no one has asked them a question - why do they dress up like cheap sluts ? However, it is well entertaining how women desperately trying to get good at least at something...... however, they keep failing..... i would fulfill this comment with a witty so-called "get back to the kitchen" joke, if women were not so terrible even at cooking.

Kenzi 15 Mar 2015, 23:18
