this shit is so bad. only reason they were picked up were for the impressions of the stereotypical "cute gamer girls haha xd". why not pick up real skill???
riddle me this: if you told me this was a kpop group i'd believe you. edg are blatantly impression farming off this signing stunt and all of you are falling for it
im going to be blunt: they're probably the only known gc chinese/taiwanese team to us outside of china just because of how they're marketed
Smol help here... All of esports (minus the minimal $$$ they make from merch) comes from advertising budgets. The narrative is that these are the best players but once again, that's just advertising. Brands want to be associated with winners. Beauty is an aspect of that. There are two options for sponsors, attractive/personality or you're #1 or outside the range but capable of achieving it.
this is just another symptom of the toxic environments women in east asia (and probably the world) have to endure throughout their lives. not just in esports, but any other field of work where beauty bias is applicable, where in order to succeed, you have to look a certain way.
Why do you think plastic surgery is so prevalent in east asia?
never said i was knowledgeable.
it's just that things like this is why gc can't grow properly; ie in order to succeed in esports (particulary in east asia, NA, EMEA, SA dont really have this problem) , a woman's appearance is prioritized more than their actual skill.
this limits the oppurtunities actual cracked gc players have, which just decreases the competitiveness and authenticity of the league.
How are you this dumb what the fuck? They were the best GC team in china last year so they were picked up. So you don't want them to be picked up just because the players are pretty. Braindead
Also they played all GCs as well as china qualifiers wer ethey literally won against a signed men's team, how many times has a GC team done this
