Whole purpose of this event is to have these people earn "respect". It does the opposite and is why this league is considered a circus, ironically. Damn.

It's so funny how misogynistic people are thinking cis women are just too inferior to ever shoot back

The same transphobes that are crying now, are the misogynistics who cried when GC leagues were created, they are just targeting another easier to attack minority

I'm proud of that team represents my nation has no player who does bad, disrespectful things to opponents identity logo while tournament which purpose is "Respect".

And why do players who don't pay respect to their opponents in a position where their bodies are male and present on the team as carries, and who get cocky on Twitter after games, does not participate to the VCT tournament when they are that strong?

If ZETA has a million fans, then I am one of them. If ZETA has ten fans, then I am one of them. If ZETA has only one fan then that is me. If ZETA has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against ZETA, then I am against the world :(

Same talking points every day you people are all just bots. Gender has nothing to do with your ability to click a mouse. You just hate trans people, you have no actual logically argument.
