Announced this morning (Well, NY morning) along with Sky, Fearless, and Ado via the SHD twitter account
How are you guys feeling about this? It's certainly a big addition to their roster, but I imagine it will take awhile for Geguri to click because of the language barriers. Great to see her signed to an OWL team though!
She's going to be one of the more popular players because every female that follows OW will support her to get more representation of females in the OWL which is apparently a big enough thing to cry on Twitter about, I'm just waiting for the shit storm that will begin if they go a few games without playing her and all the feminists start spewing out anti-female shit on Twitter and pressure the Dragons into playing her, watch this spot.

Looks like somebody doesn't have a Valentine.

I'm just not naive like the majority of people here, did you see how many females actually responded to the tweet with such happiness? people even fucking CRIED because a female got picked up by the OWL so do you honestly not expect shit like this not to happen? wake up.
But do tell how that relates to me not having a valentine, or is this just another case of anything less than 100% positivity directed towards females resulting in that person hating women, right?

Naivete is pretty irrelevant here. AFAIK she's pretty much the only female OW Pro gamer with the skills to be in the league and a clear upgrade over their current OT lineup imo.
If she gets play time it's because she deserves it, not because they need to play her for PR purposes. Yes people will bandwagon this hard, but we shouldn't let the fanfare or her gender take away from her actual proficiency.
This should be simple enough; if she performs, she plays, if she doesn't she's benched. Really all she needs to do is outperform the other OT choices..so yeah.
You don't need to make a big deal out of it either way, positive or not, imo.

Exactly this ^
Seriously, why are you getting so upset about this? Geguri has already proven herself to be incredibly skilled, and in a meta that looks like it could move back to being Zarya heavy, any time would like to have that pick up.
If you have an issue with women being happy to see themselves represented in OWL, I think you probably have some bigger problems that need to be addressed. You're actively being a dickhead about a net positive thing, and then getting defensive when people are calling you out on it. What you're talking about isn't even a problem that actually exists.
Instead of being mad about some imaginary Polygon headline that doesn't even exist or whatever the fuck it is that's got your underwear twisted so far up your ass, you could like go take a walk or literally anything else and let other people be happy about something.
Thanks!!!!!!!!

Tbf these polygon articles DO exist (it's polygon after all): https://www.polygon.com/2018/1/18/16896858/overwatch-league-women-esports-sexism-geguri
But yeah: I don't see any problem here. If geguri plays well everything's gonna be fine for the Dragons.

Kuro I have a question, why do you always talk so much shit? please explain to me how I am making a big deal of this by predicting the reaction of the female following if she doesn't play, honestly, for someone that posts as much as you do you don't half talk some utter bollocks at times.
Are you really naive enough to think people play because they deserve it and people get called up to OWL because they deserve it? you honestly naive enough to think Seagull deserved his OWL call up over a bunch of other better players? why is everyone on this site so naive and can never look at things from other perspectives.
If you bothered to read my post instead of doing what you usually do and make shit up you will see I never even talked about whether or not she WILL play but merely pointing out what I believe will happen if she DOESN'T play, two completely different things, so instead of talking out of your ass as you tend to do, please for the love of god read what you're replying to and for fuck sake, stop over exaggerating every single thing.

Please quote from my post what you believe has me upset and an issue of seeing women in the OWL because I'm well and truly baffled.
By the word "cry" I mean literally cry, there was a female who even posted about how she CRIED literally at the news, not crying as in salty whinging btw, not sure if you know the difference between the two or not.
How am I actively being a dickhead? and how is it positive btw, do you honestly think I give a toss whether or not there's females in the league? I don't care what sex anyone is all I care about is them being good and you posted the biggest pile of dog shit I've ever seen about a valentine and when I respond to that I'm being defensive? LMFAO.
I swear to god, the people on this site crack me up more and more each day.
I wonder what other nonsense you guys will come out with next, I mean I'm already hating on females because I don't have a valentine eh? hahahaha.

Shhh it's okay, there are plenty of fishes in the sea
Okay Robokun. Time for round 6 or 7 or whatever we're on now.
No one's gonna spew shit if she doesn't play a few games- while there could be some internal reasons for picking her up because she's female, it's also because she's very good, she's OWL caliber, and absolutely deserves to be playing with the best.
I'm sorry you don't have a Valentine. You could've asked me- I would've said no anyway tbh.
Kuroi isn't talking shit. He's stating what's on everyone else's mind, expressing his opinions (which in this case happens to be fact). You are making a big deal, and you seemed very angry about Geguri even being involved in OWL from that first comment of yours. Just like you were angry that Florida was almost all Swedish, just like you get angry at all other things that aren't stereotypically "normal." Kuroi isn't making shit up or talking out of his ass, so I don't know where you're getting that from-- in fact you're the one who usually starts all of these pointless and moronic arguments.
I'm "well and truly baffled" that you consistently act this childish.

irishfire [#16]I don't want to sound like a debbie downer, but all 4 of these pick ups for Shanghai will likely not be able to play due to visa applications
Unless they planned it in time, what worries me more is the language, does anyone know if these Korean players speak Chinese?
