She was picked up for a reason so there has to be many positives and I can't wait to see.
A big reason for picking her up may already be apparent, it gives SlayerS even MORE publicity. Also maybe Cella wants a good time . jks jks.....but on srs note, it's really positive to see SlayerS are creating more gender diversification on the pro level scene. Thumbs up for slayers ^^

how about pikachu? remember her from watching my local drama many years back

Lol. Easy there tiger.
She got picked up by Razer a while back but haven't seen her do much for a while! Would love to see her come back. Hopefully on the bench for SlayerS, this new girl Eve will get a shot.
She seems pretty cute and its great that slayers picked up a female player! Hope more of that coming!
Plus she's terran as well. Not protoss like soooo many other female players T.T
Good luck plus she gets a +1 because of her slayers uniform. Very cute. I approve

Honestly, the last thing Esports needs is a high-profile unqualified girl to ruin everyone's impression of females in the scene even more.
?
She's a female player that is picked up by SlayerS and I'm sure with the amount of insanely good terrans in the team house, she will become a really good player in no time.
If a team is willing to invest time and effort into grooming a player, male or female, it is a good thing, no?
I don't see how shunning female players will help with anything lol.
I support all female presence in SC2, and one that is going to be in a professional team even more.
Last thing eSports need are people pissing on females. General stereotype reaction of an angry male "She's female, she's doing this for attention, she's never gonna be as good".
Yeah, sure, that kind of attitude are the minority of people who has a "bad impression" of females in esports. We definitely need that.

Don't be naive. It's publicly known she's below progamer level (diamond~, and her Clan account is gold), yet is brought to games and paraded rather than being kept on the SlayerS clan until she's at the level to play for the team itself. It's also been said she was scouted due to her looks. People see this, and draw conclusions.
The netizen responses have been anything but positive so far.
I really do hope she ends up pulling her weight, but using girls as publicity moves simply segregates them further by declaring the gender special.

It's quite a feat if Eve is actually willing to live starcraft. If she's GSL quality that'll be amazing but there's no reason she couldn't be playing in foreign tournaments within a reasonable amount of time.
It's obvious Jessica is very media savvy and with the foreign scene's explosion that this definitely turns heads.
There's no other example like that right now for other girls to take interest.

I agree with what you say Xeen. But I still wish her all the best! To be given a chance to practise and learn in a pro-gaming house to eat, live, and breathe SC2 is just such a great opportunity!

Another terran? SlayerS is already full of top level terrans, they really need to get more good toss/zergs into their roster. Seeing a terran play half the time in SlayerS matches gets a bit boring after a while. =/
Definitely agree with what xeen is saying, to pick up a high diamond player for a professional team is bad if it was purely based on skill, which it obviously isn't. Yeah she will most likely get better but will she get as good as the other slayers players? Only time will tell I suppose. However it is still an incredible opportunity and I hope she plays well
