Heh. It's fun to read about teams like this. I remember my freshman year, I was the only girl to play Quake in the dorm. Lots of 4 am nights. Almost drove my roommate insane with the mouse clicks.

There's usually one or two gaming chicks at our local LAN center. However, they may only be playing counter-strike while they wait for the projector wall based console area to open up for DDR.

The control is a big pad on the floor with squares that you have to step on when indicated on the screen in time to the music.

I'm just deeply disappointed that they're merely adequate players who've decided to market themselves as "133t hawt chix." I suppose it had to happen some time.

Well, they finished 4th out of 16 teams in the tourney mentioned in the article. I'm sure they're above adequate.

They finished fourth in the female division. That means that there were three all-girl teams even better than they were, but without the publicist and hairdresser.

What disappoints me is that these aren't the best women out there and only have this article because they're hawt and there aren't even a lot of pictures! Don't toy with me, woman...

I dated this one girl in college who was totally into Starcraft/Warcraft. We'd settle our fights over a good game of 1x1 unlimited resource Starcraft deathmatch. I floated the idea of strip Starcraft once--lose a base, lose an article of clothing--but she didn't go for it. Posts: 1592 | Registered: May 2000

"I think the point of the story was the fact that women are taking on and doing fairly well in a traditionally male-dominated area."
Except that instead of profiling the ones who actually stand a real chance of making it big, they chose to profile the cute ones with the professional publicist.

The woman who won the first gold medal ever in snowboarding in the Olympics, the very first year the sport was included in the Olympics never appeared on any mainstream marketing plan.
She was interviewed once, if memory serves and she was not what some might call attractive in the traditional sense.
Compare that to the Maxim/etc. men's magazines that do photo shoots of various female Olympians.
In Marketing and most forms of mass media, attractiveness is still a priority over substance.
