overwatch: here is d.va, a young woman who is a pro gamer!
overwatch league: doesnt have a single team in the entire league with a woman on their roster
Maybe because there’s not alot of hardcore girl gamer?…
geguri, one of the best off-tanks in the world, was told she didnt make the cut–not bc she wasnt good enough, and yes, the very ppl who didnt hire her said she was qualified, but didnt sign her bc “ppl would think it was a pr stunt” or “she might get harrassed” (SPOILER ALERT: SHE ALREADY GETS HARRASSED, INCLUDING BY A PLAYER CURRENTLY SIGNED TO SEOUL DYNASTY) or “she didnt have chemistry with the team”
THE BEST KNOWN ZARYA IN THE WORLD GOT REJECTED BY MULTIPLE TEAMS BC SHE IS A WOMAN. ITS ABT SEXISM.
have to reblog this again and add to it because I dont think a lot of people know how good geguri really is
she was accused of professionally aimbotting around the 2016 overwatch world cup, which she competed in, because her mouse accuracy was apparently inhuman. she had to prove it in a monitored studio and get approval from the korean branch of blizzard that she’s indeed just that good. She caused two pros to quit, disbanding her at-that-time enemy team, because she’s so goddamn good they wagered their careers on her being an aimbotter. they said if she was proven innocent they’d quit, and they followed through because it’s been repeatedly and legitimately confirmed that she’s just crazy skilled. In 2017 she joined ROX Orcas and went pro again yet she was still told she didnt make the cut for overwatch league.
meeeeanwhile, motherfuckers like danteh, who i’m an avid fan of yet will admit is NOWHERE NEAR AS GOOD, are signed by teams like sfshock. Danteh’s sr is lower than geguri’s, his hero rankings are lower, etc, and I cant help but imagine there are others like him on other owl teams.
Geguri literally wasnt signed just because she’s a woman.
